New York. May 16.- Matthew Nc
Grath. the New York Athletic Clubs
world champion 16-pound hammer
thrower. attained new worlds rec
ord Of III feet inches in that event
today. but in view of the fact that the
throw was not made from a metal
trimmed, seven-foot circle, the mark
will not ne accepted under the rules of
the Amateur Athletic Union. The big
fellow performed the feat at Celtic
Park, J.. l., at the track and field
games of the brooklyn postoffice
clerks.
Aside from the want of the metal
trimmed circle, the throw was perfect.
Three A. A. U. field judges were wit
nesses of it and measured the distance.
McGrath did practically the same thing
last year. exceeding 179 feet, which was
not allowed because the measurement
was not made with steel tape.
McGrath was not crestfallen, but
feels sure of breaking his record of
113 feet inches before the summer
passes.

UNDER ARREST.
C. |, FoxweN Held By
The Washington Police.
Accused Of Swlnd|ing Boston
And Other Concerns.
Said to Have Sold vaIueIess Stocks
On False Pretenses.

Washington, May 16.-Charles Lay
ton Foxwell, mining stock broker,
whose wife is said to be a relative
of F Augustus Heinze of New York,
was arrested here Saturday and is
locked up in police station, charged
with being a fugitive from justice.
Herbert Moseley, treasurer of the
Grower Copper Co, II KiiDy street,
Boston, who is the complainant, al
leges that Foxwell by various schemes
relieved his company of more than
$4,000, and he informed the police that
the broker victimized many other con-
Germs in Virginia, Canada, New York
and Massachusetts to the extent of
$50, 900 or more.
FoXwell, who is So years old, digni-
fed, well grOomed and scholarly in de-
meanor, came to Washington little
more than year ago from New York,
and with his wife, figured prominently
in social circles. To what extent he
carried on business in this city is not
known. He dealt almost wholly in
mining stocks. AS result of their in
vestigations the police allege that Fox
croft went to Boston early in 1908 and
liScI " Anew 1olh w llSlC, W Vol ioOo
mining concerns he claimed to be a
representative of the Societie Generate
of Paris, financial institution of that
city Certain bonds and stocks which
FoXwell negotiated failed to pay eX-
pectcd dividends and an investigation
was made by the companies affected,
which showed that FoXwell was not
d representative of the Paris concern.
The firm learned that FoXwell was
living here and their representative
reached here Saturday, demanding his
arrest.
FoXWeN will probably be taken back
to Boston for hearing early this week.
Whether he will resist eXtradition can
not be learned. He has retained
James II. Hayden, Il Washington at
torncy. and the latter visited FoXwelr S
cell for q conference tonight. Suisse
quently neither FoXwell nor his at
torney would talk.
The Boston authorities today tele-
graphed the police department that a
warrant for the return Of FOXwell to
the Jurisdiction of the Massachusetts
courts would be obtained Monday and
certified copy of the document would
be forwarded to this city in the hands
of detective. who will be sent for
FoXwell. The Boston police indicated
III their message that FoNwell while
living in that city bore the alias
Charles l.. Copeland" and that the
broker faced six charges in that city.
Foxwcll. who is Sc years old. has re-
sided here Il year and lived in lavish
style. He presented a picture of
despair tonight as he sat dejcctedly in
his dark cell. Mrs. FoXwell. a bcauti-
full young woman. probably % years
of age. visited her husband today and
took MIN dcliCacieS.

.TALBOTS HAMMER THROW
may STAND As RECORD.

ithaca, n. Y. May 16.-An endeavor
is to be made to have the hammer
throw made yesterday by Lee J. Tai
bot of Cornell, in the dual track meet
between Cornell and Princeton, stand
as the Intercollegiate record. Manager
Rockwell of the Cornell team will
make the necessary applications to the
intercollegiate board of directors, of
which he is member. -.
1t was said yesterday that the throw,
which was announced as 1871 feet 1
inches. would not be allowed because
steel tape was not used in taking the
measurement. The official judges met
later. however, and made the measure
ment in the regulation form and found
the throw to be just 167 feet. which is
seven inches better than the record of
1865 feet 5 inches. held by Dewitt of
Princeton. Talbot was d member OF
the American team sent to the Olym-
pic games last summer.

SEVERAL ARE "STUNG."
Prominent Bostonians Have Turned
Over Money to FoxwelI.

Boston. May l6.-While Herbert Nose
ley as treasurer. and G. H. Morrill, Jr,
as president of the Grower Copper Co..
are most concerned of the Boston men in
seeking an accounting from Charles l..
Fcxwell, a number of other Boston
houses are understood to have claims.
George Otis Draper, a nephew of Gov.
Draper, who made a trip to England with
FcXwell last February to interest the
l9tters supposed friends in American Sc
curities. is said to be interested in secur-
ing settlement for $l2500 advanced in the

Warren ID. Wheeler seeks $3.50 in the
name of the Hilsdale Mining Co. John
Freed of Brooklne $500 for nickel min
ing company in Virginia. Scott Bickford
$3.50 for the Old Reliance Mining Co.,
William Weed $3.50 for The Shawmut
Mining Co.. and other parties seek $1,000
for a New York oil company.
According to Herbert Moseley. FoXweli
represented himself as agent of the So
cete Generate. financial institution OF
Paris. which would float an issue of s.
100000 of bonds for the Grower Co. Nose
ley took the precdution of having Fox
well sign papers as to exactly what he
promised to accomplish for the company
before money was advanced FoXwell
then made two trips to London and Paris
and declared his company was much in
terested in the Growler Co. but wanted
the report of an investigation agent The
agent was reported by Foxwell to have
gone to Chicago and made an investiga-
ton When the GROWER Mining Co. peo-
pie began to get anxious about the report
they were informed the agent had died
soor after returning to Paris and an
OF her man would have to be sent to go
over the same ground. According, to Mr..
MCseley Mr. Draper went to London last
February with FoXwell and the latter
spent much time between London and
Paris until he was finally lost sight of.
When he appeared in Washington Mr..
Moseley sought his detention and tomor-
row he will secure a warrant for his ar
rest in this city and have the papers for
warded to Washington.

TRAIN LOOTED.

their seats and cutting them with glass
from broken windows. A trainman,
nervco to the task, sprang aboard the
locomotive at the collision and shut
off the steam, stopping the havoc.
When the train reached Colbert late
last night, some switching had to be
done. While the engine crew was busy
at this work, two men Sprang into the
cab and thrusting revolvers against
the bodies of Engineer William MILLER
and Fireman John Hall, ordered them
to do as commanded. The engineer and
fireman compiled and the mail cars
were cut OFF from the rest of the train
by four other robbers. The locomotive
and the mail car were then run up the
track few miles.
Next the engineer and his fireman
were forced to leave the cab. Two of
the robbers went to the door of the
mail car and ordered it opened. Their
command was obeyed by Benjamin F.
Stump, mail clerk, who was hurried
away from the cars with the engine
men by q dozen revolver shots Man.
ming the locomotive themselves, the
outlaws took the mail cars down the
track and stole the registered mail.
Then they started the locomotive back
toward the rest of the train and es-
capped.
Conductor c. L. Robertson had a brake
man cut in the telegraph wire to send
word to Spokane. While he was busy
telegraphing. about half an hour after
the locomotive and mail car had disap-
W no fho al
careening towards the coaches in which
many persons were asleep for the rob-
Eers had acted quietly in seizing the
mail car. Many of the passengers knew
nothing of the holdup until awakened by
the collision which was only eascd By
the quick work of the trainmen.
AS soon as Robertson realized that a
collision was imminent he called on the
brakeman and porters to aid him. While
the conductor and another man threw a
tie across the track brakeman stood
ready to board the cab as soon as the
shock of the collision checked the i'm
petus of the wild engine. The mail car
was partly derailed by the tie and the
wheels plowed into the ballast while the
steam impelled the locomotive wheels
to whirl on the rails. The brakeman was
instantly in the cab where he seized the
throttle and shut off the steam and ap-
piled the brakes.
Passengers, tumbled from seats and
jostled out of berths. rushed out to
learn the cause of the shock A num-
Der of them were hurt. Two special train
loads of deputies were hurried from Spo-
kane when the word of the holdup was
received and doctors were taken along
to care for the injured. No trace of the
robbers was found today.
While it is reported that the bandits
obtained large sum of money from the
re gistered mail. the amount being placed
at $4,000. railroad officers and mail in
spectors say the amount stolen is not
known. One of the bandits who entered
the cab was more than six feet tall and
evidently was an experienced engineer.
As the two robbers entered the cab this
man said to the engineer:
You have heard OF us before" indi-
eating that they had been involved in
similar hodups in the vicinity of Spo-
kane within the last few months.
