HILLMAN MAKES RECORD
FOR 300 YARD HURDLES
RUNS DISTANCE TWO SECONDS
BETTER THAN KRAENZLEIN
Flanagan Fails to Come Within Nine
Inches of His Record for Throwing
Sixteen-Pound Weight - English
Sprinter Makes American Debut
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Harry L.
Hillman, jr., of the Thirteenth regi-
ment, N. Y. N. G. running in the
colors of the New York Athletic cub,
established new worlds record in a
3C0-yard hurdle race today, the time
being "a 3-5 seconds. This is two Sec
onds better than the previous time
made by A. c. Kraenzein, formerly of
the University of Pennsylvania, who
did the distance over the low hurdle
in Sc 3-5 seconds at Chicago on May
l., 1897.
The contest took place at the annual
fall games of the New York Athletic
club at Travers island today and Hill
man won so cleverly that the record
may stand much longer than Kraenz-
lein's, which held good for over eight
years.
John ]. Flanagan of the Irish-Amer-
lean club threw the sixteen pound
missile 172 feet, 1 IA inches, which is
9 ga inches short of his own worlds
record figures.
]. w. Morton of the South London
Harriers, England, made his American
debut in a special sprint of 100 yards
but the time was slow, 10 1-5 seconds
Morton is the English and Canadian
champion sprinter, and week ago won
the Canada prize by running the dis
tance in 10 seconds beating some crack
American runners.
Hillman also won first honors in the
5G0-yard run and won the final relay
for the New York Athletic club team
in the one mile race which was due
between that organization and the
Irish-American Athletic association.

before we are notified. Sometimes we
wait.
MANY times evidence is not sufficient
to convict the messenger of a crime
with which he is charged. They are old
criminals and have many ways of COW
ering up their deeds.
From a social standpoint they are
all degenerates. We invariably find
that boys and men in these companies
are cocaine snuffers' or opium smokers.
They could be driven out as vagrants,
but they are messengers. Such COM
panies as the American District, the
California, the Independent and the
Rapid Transit Messenger companies
are all right and 1 do not refer to
them.
action should be taken by the city
authorities to prevent companies which
are criminal organizations from exist
ing If they were forced to secure
permit from the police commission
before they could have a license, such
permit could be refused when the
organization becomes a criminals hid
ing place. If this could not be done
there should be some way to break up
the gangs"
Something should be done to put
an end to these criminals blind mes
senger companies" says Acting Chief
Auble. eff all messenger companies
were placed under the jurisdiction Of
the police commission it would be easy
to destroy the criminal organizations.
There is no question that something
should be done at once"
So much discredit has been reflected
on responsible messenger companies by
the operations of the unreliable and
unsafe companies that their managers
have applied to the police numerous
times to have some action taken, but
they have been referred to the city
authorities.
"If by breaking up one gang of these
'hop-head' messenger companies, the
rest would take warning, then in time
we might overcome the difficulty" said
a detective who has handled many
of the messenger boy" cases. "As
soon as one Cang is broken up another
starts. 1t is very strange that the
city does not take some action to
have messenger companies put under
bonds or under the supervision of the
police commission"

ny ARboclRtod RresS,
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2S.-The
authorities here have received official
reports from the Siberian coast to the
effect that the Japanese are pursuing
measures which promise to result in
the ruination Of the inhabitants
throughout the island of Sakhalin,
north and south. The Japanese are
forcing the people to sell their property
of all kinds at absurdly low and ar
bitrary prices and sign receipts for It
at good prices under threats of death.
The inhabitants Of the southern por-
ton of the island are being forced to
emigrate and those Of the northern
half are being plundered of their
houses, cattle and crops and must emf
CRATE, as they have nothing on which
to live.
AS an example of the extremity of the
Japanese methods General Senemovsky,
commanding the Alexandrovsk district,

led into marshes by the Japanese and
were there decapitated.
No great damage was done to the
town or people of Okholsk by the Jap

FIND BUMPS ON HER HEAD
Phrenologlsts, clalrVoyants, Palnlsts
and Mediums Beslege Ruby


Phrenologists, palmists and clairvoy-
ants besieged Ruby Casselman, the
Sunday school teacher charged with
forgery, in her cell yesterday. Some Of
them applied for admittance but were
refused, while others were more suo-
cessful and sought in various ways to
discover why Ruby forged the
checks"
Most of the lists" and "oints" gave
up the problem as hopeless. which in
general seems as battling as that Of
why ia lemon?" All those who saw
Ruby were received by her In the most
courteous manner and allowed to do
the worst"
1t Is positively stated that a palrniBt
actually discovered that Ruby has
lines in her hand, while prominent
phrenologists discovered bump on the
occipital bone Of her Uranium.
However, while the phrenolegist sue
ceeded in calculating in purely soien-
tiflc and technical terms all the quail
ties, good and bad, which Miss Ruby
might or might not possess, no theory
was vouchsafed by him as to her prob
able guilt nor was any tangible result
Of his examination made known.
The police are as yet in ignorance Of
nearly every detail which Is 80 much
desired to determine If she Is guilty
and what has become of the money OBJ
tained by some one on the checks
which are said to have been forged
upon respective bank accounts in Los
Angeles.
Mayhap some of these wiseacres will
inform the public and the police so
that the mystery of the pretty Sunday
school teacher may be explained.

Gently discovered importation of arms,

Firms look with favor on the separation

Following the dispersal of the big
congress of Constitutionalists at Hell

throughout the country for the discus

Helsingfors congress and practically
defies the authorities to interfere, say
ing that the meetings will be held in
spite Of the police measures.
Among the questions to be discussed
are the necessity for the immediate
convocation of the Finnish diet, the re-
moval from Finland of all members of
the corps of gendarmerie, the entrust-
ing of all secret and public police work
to the existing legal local police organ
ization and the participation of Fin

The Constitutionalists also demand
the dismissal from the state service of
Finland of all officeholders who have
palpably compromised the interests OF
their country and the execution of it's
laws, this being directed against the
Firms who have been assisting in the

There will be two busy places in Los
Angeles today-the ruins" in the
Southern Pacific railroad yards where
the Barnum & Bailey circus is I'M
loaded and the show grounds at Wash
ington street and Grand avenue, where
the circus city is to be erected.
There is always a great deal of inter-
est in the coming of big circus. And
this interest Is not confined to the
small boy, either. 1t is shared by the
small boys big brother and big sister,
to say nothing of his father and mother
and a contingent of curious uncles and
aunts thrown in for good measure.
The first of the five trains is ex-
pected to arrive about o'clock and
the others will follow in rapid success
sion. AS fast as the cars are unloaded
the vans and wagons will be transferred
to the exhibition grounds and the work
of erecting the tents put in operation.
The people who go to the show
grounds to see these unwonted scenes
will need a dozen pairs of eyes. Every
thing is novel and interesting to the
uninitiated, the housing of the hun
dreds of sleek, we'll groomed horses; the
erection of the menagerie tent to pro-
tect rare and curious animals from pos
sible inclement weather, and, inciden-
tally, the eyes of the crowd; the work
of the elephants, which are used to
push the great vans and wagons into
place; the commissary department,
with it's great ranges on wheels, and its
dining tents with places for over
thousand "guests" at a single sitting;
the dressing tents, where performers
are inspecting their wardrobes and pre-
pairing for the exhibitions; the man.
moth hippodrome pavilion, with it's
wonder seat platforms and grand
stand opera chairs and long rows of
boxes, and triple rings and stages, and
forest of aerial rigging for the per-
formances of the flying meteors."
Everything will be in readiness for
the free show which is to inaugurate
the engagement. This exhibition will
take place on the show grounds be-
tween 10:3O a. m. and IL a. m. and will
be repeated before the night show be-
tween $50 and p. m.
The Weitzmans, who give it. have a
worldwide fame. The free show will be
