THE WINNER OF THE MARATHo.

THE WINNER OF THE MARATHON
John ]. Hayes, the New York boy
who won the Marathon, told his
friends in Bloomingdale's store weeks
before he started with the American
athletes for England that he would
win the big race sure. 81 just know
I'm going to win" said Hayes, land
I wish it were fifty miles instead of
twenty-siX. The next time you fell
lows see me I'll be wearing the laurel
wreath, or whatever they give the
winner, around my ears. l have been
training my head and my legs ten
years for a chance at the Marathon"
est, most heartbreaking athletic con-
test in the world is only nineteen
years old, a slim little nickeled-steel
athlete from his toes to the crown of
his head. He stands just a shade un-
der feet inches and he weighs 1926
pounds.
John Hayes is as Irish as you find
them, with black hair blue eyes,
good humored and freckled face and a
ton of confidence in himself. With all
his triumphs on the cinder path-and
he has won enough cups and medals
and trophies to fill a cupboard-he is
a modest chap who doesn't care to
talk about his own achievements. When
he talked about his chances in the
Marathon before he left this country
young Hayes said to his friends in
the store: 81 know to a breath how
far I can run and how fast I intend
to go right out with the pacemakers
keen at their heels until am ready tc
finish, and then go on and win. / am
not afraid of any of them but ! eX'

CUMMINS
ESTATE
REGULARITY OF THE TAX LAW
THE CAUSE OF SOME INTEREST,"
ING COMPLICATIONS.

An interesting little matter will
soon come up before Judge De Bolt in
the Circuit Court in connection with
the masters report made in the Cum
minis estate. The report showed that
the late Fred Wundenberg had been
the administrator of the estate for
some time past and that no taxes had
been paid for the past six years, caus-
ing the sum of 5000 to be rolled up for
penalties, interest and costs. This the
master claimed should be surcharged
against the administrator.
When the matter came into court
the attorney for the Wundenberg es-
tate claimed that the taxes had been
charged against the Cummins estate
and not against person which IS
necessary according to law. This caus-
ed Attorney General Hemenway to look
into the matter. On investigation he
found that the taxes we're being charg-
ed against Cecil Brown as admins
traitor. Further investigation disclosed
that Brown had been the administra-
tor, had returned the property in his
name and had never been discharged
from the position, though in the mean
time Fred Wundenberg had been APP
pointed. When the matter comes up
in court there will probably be a nice
little fight before it is settled.
The whole trouo;e arises, it seems,
over the fact that taxes in this Ter
ritory are charged against individuals
or corporations, instead of against the
property itself. 1t is likely that the
next Legislature will be asked to make
a change in this by which the tax as
SCISSOR may make his charge directly
against the property and will be able
to collect with much greater certainty.

seen of the Marathon men until a

ing a non-starter. A couple of weeks

orite, but to the surprise of the whole
country Morrissey won in hours rs

picked as Institute to the All-Ameri-
