The start was made at 1902 p. m. from Flat
Rock. which is on the American side The
swimmers did not venture in the upper
rapids where Captain Webb lost his life
Both men wore life belts and inflated rub
Der rings around their necks From the
start Glover took the lead. He entered the
rapids about a minute ahead of Graham
Until the Devils Hole was reached the
swift current had the swimmers in its
grasp. At that point a swirling eddy caught
Glover and he was down nearly two min.

when the two men reached the end of the
rapids, just above the suspension bridge
at Lewiston, there was but little difference
between them. Swimming in the swift
smooth current was hard for Graham but
evidently easy for Glover. At 4:2S o'clock
Glover was pulled up on the dock at Lew
iston. He was dressed and telling his story
about fifteen minutes later. Graham was
taken to a hotel in wagon and did not
leave until late in the afternoon Neither

KING IS OPPOSED TO FORCE
Oscar Says He Hopes Norway VIII
Not He Coerced Into
Union.

BERLIN, July l7.-Dr Hugo CAM, corre-
spondent of the Frankfort Zeitung. has
had an interview with King oscar OF
Sweden at Stockholm, during which his
majesty said he admired the way in which
the Norwegians won to their side all the
European publicists, without, however,
benefitlng their cause.
The wrong remains wrong" said the
king. adding that the Norwegians had sur
prised him with the suddenness of their
acts. King oscar denied that he had pre-
vented the crisis by declining to accept
the resignation of the Norwegian cabinet
for the Norwegians themselves had de-
clared that whoever accepted a portfolio
would cease to be a Norwegian.
The correspondent remarked that he had
heard only words of respect for the king
in Norway, to which his majesty replied
For my part, 1 have forgiven the Nor
wegians, and hope to God that the Swed-
ish people will also remain calm, for II
would only be hanging a milestone about
our necks to restore the union forcibly"
The king also said that appointing a
Swedish prince to the Norwegian throne
would certainly be the simplest solution
of the difficulty, but the result would be
distrust in Sweden or in Norway. Every
time public opinion. either in Sweden or
Norway was displeased at the sovereign's s
acts the cry would be raised that the son
does this 10 please the father" or "the
father does this to please the SON.

FUNSTON TAKES THE STAND
Ex-COngressmnn COntradicts witness
who said He Made Innamma-
tory Statements.

lola, Kas., July 17.-The trial of ex-Con-
gressman e. H. Funston, charged with in
1ammatory utterances and carrying con-
cealed weapons, as the result of the dyna>
hitting of three saloons here last week.
ended tonight and Judge Adair announced
that he would reserve his decision until
next Wednesday.
Mr.. Funston was placed on the stand to
testify in his own behalf, being the only
witness called by the defense. He fatty
contradicted the testimony for the prose-
cution. Mr.. Wheeler had testified that he
heard Mr.. Funston say last Monday, when
the town was intensely excited over the
dynamiting of three westside saloons, that
he was glad some one had the courage to
do it and that the only regret he had was
that the saloonkeepers were not in the
buildings at the time, to be blown up with
them.
Mr.. Funston also denied that he had
made the statement that he came to town
that day to shoot the man who sold whisky
to his son, and that the man who said
he made such statement was a "falsifier
and the truth is not in him" Mr. Funston
said there was no crowd around him until
the mob took him to jail. He said he did
not come to town to take the side of the
person who did the dynamiting, but ad-
mitted that he bought some large shot
Il wanted the shot TO protect my property
against a threat that had been made to
burn It," he said. Asked II he talked in
loud tone of voice on the street, Mr.
Funston said: Il was talking in a positive
tone. I was giving them some straight
facts and putting them out by the yard.
l did not say anything in favor of the
saloonkeepers-you can bet on that"

TO STOP WHILE SLAVE Trade
Twelve European Countries sign
Treaty Aimed TO Prevent Trnmc
in Women and Girls.

BERLIN. July 1S.-The Reichsanzeiger
publishes the details Of the treaty entered
into between twelve European countries,
which having been duly ratified, goes into
effect today. The contracting states OBJ
ligate themselves to establish each a bu-
reau for the collection of information re-
garding the solicitation of women and girls
for immoral purposes abroad. These bu-
reaus are to exchange information among
themselves. and a strict watch is to be
Kept, particularly at large railway stations
and seaports to detect persons engaged in
the white slave trade. Efforts are to be
set on foot among fallen women for the
purpose of obtaining information about
those engaged in the traffic.
The contracting states further obligate
themselves to financially assist girls enticed
abroad to return home. Agencies and per
sons advertising positions abroad for
women are to be subjected to police at
tention.
Most of the sgnatories include their
colonies, but Germany, Great Britain, Den
mark and Spain reserve decision regarding
their colonies until a later period.
The Reichsanzeiger also prints the pro-
clamation issued by Chancellor Won Buelow
announcing that the treaty has been rati-
fed and is in effect.
While no American state is party to the
treaty. It is understood that efforts to sup
press the trade will apply equally to those
who try to entice girls to North and South
America
