4 no Americans viii Attempt (.
+ IT.. to S,uin1 the English Channel.

Two Americans, George Kistler OF
Philadelphia and William J. Glover Of
Elkton, Nd, are now preparing for an
attempt at the blue ribbon feat of
natation, swimming the English chan
mel, an undertaking fit for a Leander,
and which, although many have tried,
has only once been accomplished. =<<~
They are not working together. In
fact their ventures are entirely sep
arate. Kistler is getting ready in
Philadelphia, the funds for his trip are
being raised by the University of
Pennsylvania students, at which insti-
tuition he is an instructor in swim
ming.
Glover, accompanied by Carlisle#:D.
Graham, will get ready by practicing.
in the strong currents of the st. Law
renee river.
These two men are undoubtedly the
best distance swimmers in the United
States, and both have the endurance
and courage which are requisite to
the great task.
1t is only about twenty miles across.
the channel, and a good swimmer
could navigate the distance without
difficulty but for the perverse cur
rents, which put it out of question
for even a big ship to pursue an alb
solutely straight course.
When Capt. Matthew Webb won un-
dying fame by swimming the channel
way back in 1875 it was estimated
that he had covered not less than
forty miles in his trip between Dover
and Calais.
Kistler is now forty-two years old,
but he is still magnificent athlete,
tall and. blessed with chest that can
be the reservoir for an immense sup
ply OF air.
His best known feat was his swim
On the Delaware river, between Phil
adelphia and Chester and return. He
accomplished this in eleven hours, a
distance of thirty-two miles, on the
day that Czolgoscz shot President Nc
Kinley.
Glover has performed some notable
Ifeats, including his race through the

Niagara rapids with Charles D. Ora
younger man than Kistler, and like
che Philadelphia, has a deep chest
and is powerfully muscled.
Should either Of these men succeed
he will not only win the $4,000 offered
by an English paper for any one &C.
complishing the performance, but he
will come in for fame and popularity
such as has been the portion so far of
but one man.
When Webb accomplished the
bridging of the channel, he aroused
such enthusiasm that the people OF
/ London promptly subscribed twelve
thousand pounds for him.
1t was Capt. Webbs desire to emu
late and surpass Johnson that led to
the first conquest of the channel. John
son made the effort in 1872, and failed
signally. Then Webb, who had learned
the art, of swimming in the Severn,
and was at that time twenty-six Years
of age, announced his intention of sue
ceeding where Johnson hadfailed.
This attracted to England an Ameri-
can named Paul Boynton, who had a
queer rubber contrivance with pad
dies. In it he succeeded in making the
transit, though his trip was not con-
sidered unaided swimming. !
Webb was forced to abandon his
first effort to swim the channel at the
time Boynton crossed, by reason of
the extra strong current and bad
weather, but twelve days later. Aug.
"a, 1875, he plunged off the Admiralty
pier, Dover. He was twenty-five hours
in the water, and suffered a little dur
Ing the night hours; but emerged from
the: terrific test of strength. courage
and endurance in excellent condition.
On the trip he wore an American

Coming to the United States he de-
veloped the ambition to swim across
the Niagara rapids, and lost his life
there July "a, 1882.
Cavill, pupil of Webb. claimed to
have made the swim across the chan
mel, but was never credited, and TWEEN
ty years later an American, Davis
Dalton, said he had been over the
route traversed by Webb, but he was
never: believed.
In 1904 Frank Holmes of Birming-
ham, daring amateur swimmer, gave
up after going about two-thirds Of the
way.
1t has remained for Montagu Hol-
be1n to come nearer than any present
day swimmer to succeeding. On Aug.
27, 1902, he started from Cape Girls
nez, and managed to get to within two
mile of Dover He was in the sea for
twenty two hours and half, and
would have succeeded, but for his mis-
fortune in striking perverse current
when he was only short distance
from land.
: On Sept. 1, 1903. Holbein tried to
again, and this time he progressed to
within seven miles of the French
catst before being forced to give up.
It was not until 1900 that any wo-
man became ambitious to- swim the
channel, and then an attempt was
made by Madame Walburga Won Isa-
ceus, a Viennese swimmer. She swan
twenty miles from Calais in rough
sea before being forced to give in.
The next woman to seek fame in the
same direction was Miss Annette Kel-
lerman, the Australian long distance
swimmer, who, though only a girl of
twenty, is one of the greatest swim
mers in the world to-day, male or
female. "
She leaped into the turbulent waters
just; about one year ago, and was &C.
companied by Edward Heaton of Liv-
erpool.
Finally she, too, was forced to give
up, but not until she had gone mile
further than her companion.

LAID
ON TABLE

The Spokane Labor union last
night received letter from Secre-
tary Frank Morrison, Of the AmEi-
can Federation of Labor, asking for
information in regard to letter
he had received from George w.
Miller asking the federation to
compel the central body to take
action In regard to charges recent
ly preferred against the local union
of International Transfers. The
secretary was instructed to write
Mr.. Morrison stating that the
charges had been laid on the table,
giving the reason for such action.
A letter was also received from
the Labor council at Portland stat
ing that the grainhandlers were on
a strike in that city and that much
of the help being imported to
break the strike was coming from
eastern Washington and Oregon,
and asking all those familiar with
this class of work to keep away
from Portland until the strike was
adjusted. The letter also asked the
local central body to give the fact
that a strike existed in Portland
the widest publicity possible.

]. P. Redding, the mining en-
lEineer who was jailed on account
of alleged fraud being charged by
stockholders of the Five Metals
Mining company, was discharged
from custody this morning on
recommendation of Assistant
Prosecutor Laughan. The charge
is the result of mistake, and Red
ding has laughingly asked that the
matter end wheer it is.
Judge Wilson, of Nelson. b. c.,
arrived in the city last night and
this morning sought out the prose-
cutor with the information that it
wasn't Redding who was to blame,
but himself. Two years ago, before
Judge Wilson went on the bench,
he was attorney for Readings Five
Metals company and forwarded the
incorporation papers to Victoria, B.
c., to be filed. They weer returned
for the correction OF clerical
error. A receipt for the necessary
incorporation fee was also sent to
the Judge. The error was corrected,
but the papers were left In the safe
and Their thy remained. every one
forgetting about them. Then Judge
Wilson went on the bench and his
law partner, who Is member OF
the provincial legislature, also for
got about the papers.
Judge Wilson brought the incor-
poration, receipts for fees and all
when he interviewed the prosecut-
ing attorneys. He has called a
meeting of stockholders for the pur-
pose of Strengthening out matters.
He says all moneys and reports

age.
In Portland Mr.. Hutchinson was
married to Miss Virginia Spencer
two years ago. Their child Is six
months old. Less than two weeks
ago he brought his family to reside
in Spokane. In his short residence
here Mr.. Hutchinson had made an
excellent impression on Y. M. G. A.
directors, members of the associa-
tion and all others with whom he
came in contact. w. S. McCrea
and J. C. Barline and r. B. Pater-
son are especially outspoken in ex-
pressions of devotion for the de-

TRANSFERS MAY
affiliate AGAIN

1t is not unlikely that the Inter
national Transfers union will be
represented in the Central Labor
union again in the near future. The
uion withdrew from the central
body some time ago because that
organization would not endorse the
truckmen's scale Of wages. 1t is
also reported that some of the
trucking firms that have been fight
ing the truck drivers and teamsters
for several years past may sign the
scale and hire union teamsters
hereafter. In regard to the action
of some of the transfers in organ
izing another union last Sunday
Business Agent Clifford did not
seem to be greatly alarmed, as he
said his union was the only one in
the city chartered by the Interna-
tional transfers and he did not
think there was any likelihood of
another charter being granted in
this city.

BROTHERHOOD OF
LIGHT IN TROUBLE

DENVER, Oct. 16.-Authorities
are investigating charges of i'll
treatment Of children placed under
the care of The Brotherhood Of
Light" a sect that owns a ranch
in this county. Judges Lindsay and
Mcclure, who committed children
to the ranch. say they did SO be-
cause the place was recommended
by local humane society officials
after supposed investigation.
1t Is alleged that the children
were fed poor food and slept in
tents with Indians and peon Mexi-
cans as their only neighbors. The
sect once operated in Los Angeles.
They are spiritualistic and took
pains to impress their belief on the
children consigned to their care.
