thon race ar Madison Square Garden.
The race was hard fought from start
TO finish and kept the thousands OF spec
tators In considerable excitement. In q
miles Dorando was leading by two yards.
A moment before Longboat had made a
remarkable squirt and put himself on an
even footing with the little Italian, Dor
ando Immediately regained first position
and the men were fighting IL out in the
18th mile with Dorando In the lead, but
visibly weaker. The chances OF Long
boat appeared to improve in the second
and third laps. In the fourth lap. while
the crowd was crying itself hoarse. both
men slackened ~perceptibly. Then sudden

boat finished alone. His time for the dis
lance OF 8 miles, 3S5 yards, was 2:45 % 2-5.
The time was 35 25 seconds slower than

GIVE REFUGEE AID
AGAINST RUSSIA
Protests at Five Meetings in
Chicago Against Extradi-
ton of Rudowitz.

Chicago, Dec. 17.--Fiye meetings
were held In Chicago ny the Political
Refugee Defense league to protest
Commissioners Foote I'm issuing an or
der looking to the e~xtradition of Chris
tian Rudowitz. the Russian refugee.
Enthusiastic crowds attended the
various meetings. The various speakers
were loudly cheered and resolutions
passed declaring the belief of those at
the meetings that Rudowitz's alleged
offense was entirely political. These
resolutions will be forwarded to Pres
idcnt Roosevelt n the secretary
Of state.
Several speakers declared that the
action of the government toward the
refugee is dictated by American in
t~erests In Russian bonds and the in
fiuence of Wall street.
Decision a Scandal.
At the largest meeting, held in the
International theater. during the aft
ernoon. Louis r. Post. member OF the
board OF education. set the audience,
wild with enthusiasm when he said:
"When people believe governments
ought to be overthrow. they ought TO
be overthrown. and while / wish TO cast
no reflection upon COMMISSIONS Foote.
j must say that his decision is u scan
dial. The Russian consul here select
ed the lawyer to prosecute this case,
selected the commissioners to hear the
evidence, and 1t pays the commissioner
the same as II pays it's lawyer. He
cannot get l cent of his fees unless
the Russian government pays him.
IF Rudowitz Is transported 1t VIII
simply be the beginning of a large Sc
ries OF transportations. Fifty years
& IL would not have been necessary
to call such meetings to show the peo-
pie that their rights are being wade
Let us send up such a cry that the
government officials dare not send him
back"
Gar Seeks Vengeance.
The Rev. Father p. j. O'Callaghan,
OF the Paulist fathers, stated that pro-
tests would not be necessary III Russia
could be trusted. but there was evil
dence that the car was seeking venge-
ance. and said that Commissioners
Foote's judgment was not infallible.
Then he continued:
IF the liberty of the weakest is in
danger, then the liberty of all Is in
danger. America must remain the
asylum for the oppressed. People with
full p~ocketbooks and full stomachs can
not understand why others love justice
for mere Justices sake. They are in
CRATES who live upon institutions that
have been built upon the dead bodies
OF patriots"
"Rudowitz is one of thousands who
have reason to resent the political OPP
preston under which they live. and the.
right of asylum must not be denied
them i'm America" began Mrs. May
Wood Simons. I'VE were born under "A
revolution. There would be no senti-
ment against Rudowitz n other refu-
gees today were II not for the big In
terest Americans hold in Russian
onds."
