DUNNE ANSWERS CRITICS
WHO BLAME HIM

Chicago. Feb 2S-Mayor Dunno yester-
day talked back TO the ministers and re-
form organizations who charge that he is
responsible for the crime-wave which Is
deluging Chicago.
81 have statistics from the secretary OF
police which show that there is less crime
now than a GEAR ago." said he. Tho
newspapers which are opposing municipal
ownership are exciting the public over
crime and trying to besmirch my admin
istraton."
Some Of the things said about Mayor
Dunno are:
The Rev. Or. William p. Leach-"Can
OF the many foes Chicago has today IN
Mayor Dunno. He declares he will not en-
force the law against saloons He knows
IL is a crime 10 issue liquor permits for
dance halls. Why does he do it?"
The Rev. David Beaton-"Our chief
magistrate seems to be without principle
or courage or moral stamina, He has na
backbone for this terrible emergency"
The Rev. w A. Bartlett-"Indictmen
or some effective means should be used
TO force the mayor to obey his oath OF
office and close the saloons on Sunday"
The ministers are entitled TO their opin-
IONS said the mayor. II simply must
again call attention TO the figures, which
disprove any assertion that n wave OF
crime exists in this city"

and there was no time when he appeared
TO be over-fatigued by his exercises. In
other words, he was well within himself,
and If he had been urged harder IN some
of the competitions possibly he could have
split of seconds Of time here and there.
The young American champion, who Is
unquestionably the best amateur swimmer
In the history OF water sport I'm the
United States, and perhaps the best swim
mer who has ever competed under Ameri-
can auspices is not OF the physical type
which was held to be the proper thing by
the old guard. To be a good swimmer II
was once urged that deep chest. broad
shoulders ard powerful arms and legs
were necessary.
That there is abundant muscular
strength in Daniels arms and legs IS un-
questioned, but their development is not
OF the quick knotty style which was ac-
cepted good form In the past The
American champion is more than six feet
in height, and rangy. lie is not an ath-
lete OF extreme weight. On the contrary
his weight is less than might be carried
with comfort by a man OF his stature But
every ounce of flesh on his body seems
well placed and there is not surplus ut
any spot where IL might prove disadvan-
tageous rather than a help to his skill.
Daniels. as matter of course, has
picked up every style OF swimming which
Is IN vogue. IN MS speed contests lie
uses the crawl stroke, OF which he is n
better exemplar than any swimmer COM
peting in championship events Those
who have watched him most closely, with
a view to analyzing his style are os
opinion that he is aided more by his leg
work than he is by what he does with his
arms. Not only does he combine the good
qualities, which are i'm evidence on the
part of other swimmers in using their
legs. but he seems to get added power by
a kick which is peculiarly his own.
His skill and his endurance were never
better in evidence than in HIS final tests
on Saturday night, when he finished up
the $50 yards, without showing any signs
OF exhaustion, and then. with no fuss
whatever, swan an added 12O yards and
established new 1000 yard record.

new HAHDICApS

An adoption OF the methods of the
Handicapped OF running horses was dis
cusscd by a number OF Long Island Sound
yachtsmen, who met last night at the
Hotel Astor at the call OF T.. r. Gran
berry OF the New Rochelle Yacht club.
Instead OF handicapping boats under the
new rating rule. the plan is To change
time allowances I'm accordance with the
order OF finish in previous races.
The yachtsmen who met-were not oni-
cial representatives OF any yachting or
ganization. but II is expected that their
wishes will re considered and that this
summer races will be sailed under the
conditions they suggest 10 the various
clubs. ~~
The proposal OF the new racing condi-
tion follows the building OF new boats
that so much outclass older boats OF the
some rating that there is no possibility
of even contests. A number or the older
boats could not give the time allowance
the new rating rules requires with any
chance OF winning.
