Prince 'AIert's HaIf-MiIe-Track
RecOrd-Cresceus Failed.

Ala, Nov. 1o.-Dan
Patch paced a mile on a half.mile track
here this afternoon in 2:031z, lowering the
only worlds record for PAGERS outstanding
against him. The record previous to this
was 2:031a, held by Prince Alert. Cobweb,
the runner that paced Dan Patch, faltered
on the turn just before entering the stretch
and but for this Dan Patch probably would
have made the mile in less than 1908. The
official time by quarters was :3012, 1:01,
1:32A, 2:oSA.
With the exception Of a slight breeze
blowing down the stretch the weather was
ideal. The track was hard and fast.

end, has been selected as temporary cap
tain and no doubt will be elected to that po-
sition permanently. Coach Holste says
there will be no trouble in filling the two
places from the second team and he ex-
poets by Saturday to have a team fully as
strong as Rose has been this year to meet
Butler. The defeat by Franklin College
Saturday was the hard dose for Rose.
Franklin had been regarded as weak and
Rose on showing should have won easily.
Coach Holste says, however, that not only
did Franklin put up a strong game, the
strongest Rose has gone against this sea-
son, but that the official rulings were all
unfair toward Rose.

must not expect to see the record broken.
The track was not to Mr.. Ketcham's nk-

recent experience in a wreck. The time

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Nov. N.-To-day's

up during the last few days will an in

II would be impossible for him to be In the

in good trim for The only
man now causing anxiety is Nyere, who is
still in The infirmary. Should he fail to re-
port before Saturday Captain Salmon will
have much difficulty in finding a satisfac-
tory substitute for half.

WILL EXTEND
INVESTIGATIONS
Postof6ce Probe to be Ex-
tended to Large Offices
in the Country
WILL INITIATE NEW ARRANGEMENTS

Washington, May IA far-reaching
extension of the present investigation
of the affairs of the postofIice depart
ment, to include the overhauling of
most of the large postoffices in the
country, is in contemplation. This
statement was made by Postmaster
General Payne. Mr.. Payne said that
the increase by $4,000 Of the appropria-
tion for the contingent expenses of his
own Office had been made for the pur-
pose of investigating the affairs of the
department along these lines, but he
admitted that it was not at that time
anticipated that the investigation
would prove so sensational. The de-
tails of the proposed general investi-
cation, he said, have not yet been for
mulated, owing to the fact that all
efforts are now being concentrated on
the investigation now in hand.
Mr.. Payne announced that it might
be necessary to employ at various
places men outside of the government
to look into local postoffice conditions.
A lawyer, for instance, he said, might
be engaged to go over some rolls. A
committee may be designated to look
into the needs and conditions gem
orally at the postoflices. including such
matters as dispatch of supplies to Of
fees. etc. Mr.. Payne said. however.
that il was a large undertaking. and at
pWsent he was not prepared to say
just what form this wholesale investi-
cation of postohices would take. It
viii cover all first-class postofices
whose annual receipts aggregate $780,
0O0.
Mr. Payne said that the present ad-
ministrative methods of the postal SER
vice were put in operation by former
Postmaeter General Wanamaker IA
years ago. and since then the business
Of the department has trebled. He said
that it might be mat some Of the meth
DDS were faulty and the practices irreg-
ular, and that the investigation would
be made in the hope of initiating new
and better methods as well as correct
ing abuses.
Postmaster General Payne has now
received replies from ex-Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith, Comp
troller of the Treasury Tracewell, Post
master Merritt, Of this city. and Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow,
regarding the charges made by ex-
Cashier Tulloch, of the Washington
postofiice. The abstraction of papers
from the safe Of the Office OF the assist
ant attoreny general for the postofice
department by Mrs. James n. Tyner.
wife Of the then assistant attorneygen-
eral, is now regarded as practically q
closed incident.

A Soma of COURAGE.

When our hearts shall be weary, so
