a result of an attack upon a train
bearing strike breakers to take the
places of striking union miners at

20 leave the train, and threatened to
kill them l. they went to work.
Governor Conner has ordered a
company of cavalry from Montgomery
10 the scene, and the troops already
on the ground are under arms, and
will patrol the district tonight to pre-
vent further disorders.
That many men were not killed or
i seriously wounded when the train
was attacked, is due to the fact that
they fell to the floor and remained
there. The engagement was brought
TO a conclusion when the engine was
repaired and enabled to proceed.
Today Governor Conner, together
with Sheriff Higdon, and a number
of deputies, made an automobile tour
of the strike district, and made
speeches to the union miners. So i'm
pressed was the governor with the
seriousness of the situation that he
ordered three local companies OF

Governor Conner has placed the
state troops in the hands of Sheriff
Hfigdon, and he ordered out as many
men as was deemed necessary.
Tonight two field guns and three
rifles were received by express from
Montgomery. There is no weapon I'M

AT midnight Sheriff Higdon issued

Manager Halpin, of the American

to the game officials, but was told
that the shoes were those ordinarily
worn by the Liverpool police The
Americans made no effort, and were
promptly pulled across the line.

OLYMPIC GAMES
BADLY MANAGED
Criticism of Great In
ternational Athletic Meet.
Expensive Seats the Only
Ones Covered, and Public
Has But Little Comfort.
To mLongboat.
BY Associated Press.

London, July 1.-THE unfortunate
circumstances which have made this
years Olympic games a fiasco, so far
as the general public is concerned,
are now openly stigmatized by this
mornings newspapers, as bad man
agement and lack of proper Organi-
Zation. Those responsible Cor these
deplorable conditions are urgently
advised TO greatly reduce the prices
of seats and to remove the petty an
noyanceS, such as refusing readmis-
sion to the stadium without repay
ment, which tend to deter the public
from visiting the Olympic games.
Another grievance is that all except
the expensive seats are uncovered
so that while the occupants of the
shilling and sixpence benches are sit
ting in a drenching rain, the costly
covered seats are empty.
The newspapers TEEN with sugges-
tons for attracting the public, but
as the MANAGEMENT is divided be-
tween the directors of the Franco
British exhibition and the Olympic
council. there is little chance OF any
effective remedy being adopted be-
fore it is too late to save the situa-
ton. II was rumored last night that
runner. had met with an accident
while training in Ireland, which
would prevent him from competing in
the Marathon race which is to be
run July "a. While the rumor has
not been confirmed, Manager Croker
of the Canadian team, in reply 10 an
inquiry, said:
1T is reported that Longboat ran
into a wagon and was slightly in
jured."
Today's issue of The Sporting Life
has an interview with John +. Elan
agan- of the Irish-AmeTican Athletic
Club, who says
Il am delighted by the manner in
which the games are being conducted
1t is a pleasure to compete here;
there is such scrupulous fairness
shown to everybody / would willing
ly be tried for my life by the judges
of the Olypiad- 1t is fair trial
and no favors for anybody"

Who Lonqboat is.

Tom Longboat. Canada's long dis
lance runner, and probably the most
feared man in the Olympic Marathon,
is a puzzle to the athletic world.
Two years ago he was unknown On
Thanksgiving day, 1906, a long, gaunt
red skin, clad in a grotesque1y barred
bathing suit, flashed past the post in
a field of thirty o. the best distance
runners on the American continent
The betting was 100 to 1 against him,
and the very. fact that an obscure In
dian, with practically no training, won
the race, which was a classic event,
made the country sit UP and take no.
tice. Since that day the Indian has
won race after race with consummate
ease. his most remarkable feat being
when last spring he ran in the Boston
Marathon race, a twenty-five mile
.-e--~@r rcd fixture There he met
lis United States and Canadian run
ners. and won by nearly mile. The
most remarkable fact concerning
I1OngbOat is that he runs fiat footed,
smokes continually. and trains only
in a spaSmOdic manner.

 First, then. there must be concen- tering of all the forces of body, mind and heart upon this one great work. Paul said respecting it, This one thing I do. There is terrific power in that man who throws himself into any work. To throw the whole stress of our being upon our one work, may bring upon us the charge of enthu- siasm or even of fanaticism, but that is the way that men of the world win success. In business, in letters, in art and in statesmanship, the noble souls that have nassed all the forces within them, and then pressed them in one direction have gained what they sought. They sought and found a corruptible and fading crown; how much more intense, should we be, who realize the possibility of our fellowmen obtaining crowns that are incorrupt- ible and unfading. Another element of power is a thorough conviction of the truth ourselves. Unless we know Christ ourselves we can't introduce Him to others.
