PHILADELPHIA, June s.-The
greatest athlete developed within the
past ten years is Lee ]. Talbot, the
young Mercersburg academy weight
thrower, who. though only 10 years of
age, has already shattered the world s
underground hammer record five
times set new world S scholastic
figures for the twelve pound shot, and
defeated the best college men of the
East and West in throwing the six
teen pound hammer, the standard for
college and amateur competition, His
mark for the latter event is l5S feet.
Talbot stands six feet four inches
in height and weighs 2l0 pounds. He
is finely proportioned. with massive,
broad shoulders and a deep chest His
legs, unlike those of most tall men,,
are well proportional and muscular.
This is Talbot s first year at Merccrs-
burg, be having previously attended
the manual training school at Kansas
City. Next fall Talbot will enter the
agricultural course at Cornell unlver
sity, and the Ithacans will then have
weight thrower who is almost sure
of two first places, even at the present
time. In this event Cornell has
previously been considered weak.
Talbot S greatest record for the
twelve pound shot was made a fort
night ago. when he tossed the missile
205 feet l03i inches in the Middle
States interscholastic pionships.
The young giant first attracted notice
last year when in the Western
championships he threw the twelve
pound hammer 1S5 feet ~ inches. In
the first indoor meet during the winter

the twelve-pound shot 5S feet 3%
inches, slightly better than the world S
record of Rose, He was, however
denied a world s record on a techni-
cality. AT Princeton, in the inter
scholastic meet, the Mercersburg star
made his first world s record. throw
ing the twelve-pound hammer 100
feet 9 inches. This was far better
than any record, whether amateur or
professional. In Pennsylvania s re-
lay meet Talbot tossed the sixteen
pound missile l53 feet 5h inches, win
ming the event. and beating Horr
and many stars of the East and West
He also took third place in the discus,
an event at which he was unfamiliar,
and third place in the sixteen. pound
shot put.
The next essay of the Young giant
came in the Yale interschoiastic
games, He threw the underground
hammer 1913 feet, bettering his own
record, and he also wQn the shot-put
with nearly 80 feet. Today MERGERS
burg will send its track squad TO Chi
cago to compete for the Western
championships, and the giant weight
thrower will have another opportunity
to measure strength with his former
rivals.

When Memsic first went to Los Angeles

winner taking all. Burns is not sure
of the goods at that, for, although the
Kid invariably fights on the defensive

Chicago Millionaire Charged with
Defalcation of a Large Sum.
John r. Walsh, the Chicago railroad
magnate and millionaire, intimate
friend of Senators, Congressman and
kings of finance, faced the federal
court Tuesday to answer charges of
defalcatiOn of $15,000,O00. Because Of
former associations with the banker,
Judge Lands, of Standard Oil fame,
refused to hear the case, ana Judge
Anderson of indianapolis presided in
his stead. Walsh has an array of coun-
sci, whose fees are said to aggregate
$250,000. John S. Miller, 1.-THE $780,
600 Standard Oil lawyer" Attorney
Hynes and other legal stars are among
them.
Among the witnesses ordered to APP
pear for the government are the direc-
tors and officers of the defunct Chicago
National bank, Home Savings bank and
Equitable Trust Company, three institu-
tons wrecked by Walsh methods; Ma
tional Bank Examiner Moxey, Eta Nc
Lean, the federal attorneys former
Stenographer, who was arrested for the
theft of papers from his office, and the
dummy signers of notes. Miss Nc
Lean was released later.
Walsh is under two Indictments of
more than $50 counts for the alleged
looting of the banks The funds were
used in 1905, it is charged, for building
his railroads in southern Indiana.
Walsh began business life as a news
boy. Walsh was considered the fnan-
cial king of Chicago.

Trade as whole Is quieter and In
dustral operations are being curtalled
in accord with the REIMBURSEMENT proc
ess forced by the prevailing monetary
stringency and the spread of the acute
currency scarcity to the country Mt
large. Evidences Of this are found In
the restriction of wholesale buying for
future delivery, in the confinement OF
jobbing trade to purely filllng-in pro-
portions, and In the curtailment of re-
tail buying by the necessary employ
ment of credit instruments. In manu-
featuring lines there is apparently
determination to fill orders only as
they are received and an indisposltion
to accumulate stocks, the result here
being a slowing down of operations
pending the settlement of affairs upon
a substantial basis This industrial
quieting is also in no small degree due
to the fact that manufacturers unable
or unwilling to ask their employees to
take pay in credit instruments chose
rather to reduce production to point
where operations can be conducted free
from dispute as to the methods of pay
