NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The Anna
teur Athletic union OF the United
States will break athletic relations
with the British Amateur Athletic
association. This was practically de.
cided upon today. There is poss!'
BILE chance that an apology may
patch up matters, but now II looks
like 100 to | shot.
The governing body Of the ANA
teur Athletic union OF the United
States is now taking mail vote ON
the question, and II seems certain
that the vote will be unanimous to
have nothing more 10 do with the
British Amateur Athletic association.
United States Commissioner Jas.
Z. Sullivan. who arrived from Europe
on Friday, brought back the details
that proved the last straw. He show
ed plainly how unfairly the Ameri
cans were treated by the English
during the Olympic championships.
That such a step would probably
be taken was forecasted by his talk
on Friday Mr.. Sullivan SAID he would
call upon the Amateur Athletic Union
OF the United States TO take some &C
ton in the case of Carpenter. who
defeated Halswelle, the English exc
pert, but who was robbed or the VIC
tory by the British officials.
IL Is almost a foregone conclusion
that Carpenter will be acknowledged
the Olympic champion. and as such
will 20 down in the book OF records.
This will bring forth a protest from
the British Amateur Athletic associa-
lion. and an omen athletic war Will be
the result.
Mr. Sullivan. although somewhat
Gained down, was still hot under
the collar over the outrageous treat
ment accorded the American team.

Whitaker gave in marriage their
daughter, Miss Katy Lou to Mr..
William Baker Gregory, of Goree.
Texas. On account Of the recent
death Of the groom g father, the
wedding was very quiet affair,
only few near relatives and speci-
al friends being invited. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev.
Mr.. Shipman at the home of the
BRIDES parents The bride was
prettily and tastefully dressed in a
travelling suit of tan color with
brown trimmings, holding in her
hand bouquet Of ferns, violets and
orange blossoms. The groom wore
the conventional black. The pres
ents were elegant and appropriate,
consisting Of articles in table-linen,
china, silver and cut glass. The
newly married couple departed on
the afternoon train for Goree
Texas, their future home. May
this young couple find their dreams
Of Elysium fulfilled in sweet reali-
ties. May their welded life be con-
tinually blessed with that love
which makes memory happy, home
beautiful and chases away every
vexation from their pathway. May
their honeymoon never end, but
last from month to month and from
year to year until they both reach
the throne crystalline and the
pavement golden. /"

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAVORS NEW THEORY
e. II. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts,
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory. that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by f. H Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home Is
at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago / read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most Ill health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition. 1t wonld, In
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause OF sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
TO this fact
81 am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
