OF all the aggravating expert
ences a champion athlete meets
with during his career, there is
none so bitter as the rejection of
good record on technicalities.
The Amateur Athletic union is
wise in establishing iron bound
rules and sticking to them, for our
standards would otherwise be un-
creditable and worthless, but cases
often bob up when one is led to re-
greet that the committee should be
so strict.
Last year was abundant in won
derful performances, but many OF
the best will not grace the list of
records because flaws were found
in them.
1t is interesting to look on these
unrecognized feats and note the
seemingly trivial technicalities
which threw them out, for it may
serve to show foreigners, so ready
to doubt us, that worthy records
pass unchronicled, simply because
our governing body is so particular
about seeing that it's least rules are
complied with.
Runners are not ofen sufferers
because in big meets the manage
ment makes sure the track is care
fully measured before hand and
marked unalterably. When 1t
comes to swimming, weight throw
ing, jumping and burdling the
chances for inaccurate records are
plentiful.
Ralph Rose lost the most marks
In 1908. Among others, two that
totally eclipsed the best previous
efforts of man, were his put TO 81
feet inches with the IA pound
shot at Trenton, N. j., Sept. 6, and
his other of 81 feet inches witt
the 16 pound shot at Paterson
N. j., Sept. IA.
The former was reported to have
been made on a slight down grade
and although this grade was hardl!
perceptible, it was reason to dis
credit the figures, but the latte
was made before a full contingen
of A. A. u. judges and measurers
and there is no question of its col
rectness. Unfortunately, Rose wa

once lost his balance after throw
ing the hammer and, in recovering,
touched the ground with his fin
gers. He did not step out OF the
circle, but the A. A. U. ruled that
the touch constituted foul.
Another record lost because OF
the exhibition clause was Walter
Dray's pole vault of 10 feet made
in Connecticut. The most minute
details complied with A. A. u.
rules, but it was not a competition
and the mark had to be refused
Several of c. M. Daniels records
were rejected, and one in particu-
lar deserves mention. The so yards
indoor swimming standard was 20
is seconds, when he went the dis
lance officially in "a As seconds
last January. Some question arose
about it and the pool was measured
and found few inches short. The
difference was not enough to make
one-fifth of seconds difference,
anu certainly HOI tWO-hitho, bue
| Daniels lost his record.
Probably the most aggravatmg
occurrence of the year was the
inability of Harry Porter to have
his sensational high jump of feet
6A inches accepted. Porter had
long been after Mike Sweeney's
record of 6 feet SIS inches, and lat
Bridgeport, Conn.,, last September
he managed to surpass it by FIVE
eighths of an inch. His joy was lof
short duration, for 1t was found
that the officials, in verifying the
Jump, measured with an ordinary
tape, instead of the steel one pre-
scribed by the A. A. u, and al
though it was admitted to be cor
rect, rules had to be adhered to
and Sweeney's jump remains the
record.

this is only part of the good that
one man has done and is doing
though dead. You yourself pub
lished an editorial, the sum and
substance of which was that the
burden of proof was against the
saloon. II
Now l believe, aside from the
great number added to the church
during these meetings, this town
will be better for Mr.. Sunday hay
ing come; that the Improvement
will be manifest now and in the
years to come in the lives of the
citizens and their votes, and an
enlivened and quickened CIVIC
righteousness. l believe the mA-
jority of the people of Spokane are
on the right side and still greater
number are solidly back of Mr..
Sunday. He is fulfilling the COM
mand of the parable, TO go out
in the highways and hedges and
compel them to come in And the
best part is that after he gets them
there he is doing them good. And
to sum it all up: Mr. Sunday is
sowing good seed in good ground
God is watering the soil, and the
harvest will be sure. e. G. Payne

THE BABY GOES
WITH THEM

The love of a pretty, cooling little
babe is a force that human hearts
cannot resist, and for the posses
sion of which men and women
have suffered untold hardships,
tragedies have been enacted and
fortunes dissipated. This power of
infantile love has again been dem
onstrated in the case of DR.. and
Mrs. d. l.. Campbell. residing on
Rockwell avenue, Lidgerwood, who
by order of Judge Hinkle have
adopted boy baby secured three
months ago from the Orphans
Home of Spokane. DR.. and Mrs.
Campbell had no children of their
own.
The doctor came here year
ago last November from Michi-
gan and had succeeded in building
up a good practice when stricken
by form of Bright's disease that
required an immediate change of
climate. The doctor and his wife
sold their home and belongings.
but the question that worried them
most was what were they to do
with the little fellow who in few
months had found a place in their
hearts and home that they could
not bear to think of being va
Gated.
Mrs. Campbell knew that her all
ing husband had found new pleas
ure in the society of the little babe
and on her entreaty the doctor
gave his consent that the babe be
adopted and taken with them to
their new home at Pasadena, Cal,
for which point DR.. and Mrs.
Campbell will leave in few days.
BY order of the court the name of
the child, who is year and 10
months old, was changed from
Costa Alfred Geger Watts to Don
add Llewellyn Campbell, after its
adopted father.
Mrs. Alma Watts, the child's
mother, was present in court and
gave her consent to the adoption,
kissing her little son a last fare
well just before the court entered
the final Judgment of adoption.
Mrs. Watts is a Swedish woman,
who was compelled through aban-
donment by her husband, to part
with her babe.

WHITE SLAVE BY
HYPNOTIC POWER

BUTTE, Feb. 3.-The first white
slavery ever called to the attention
of authorities of this city was re-

power seven years, compelling her
to give him her earnings. He lured
her from France to America.

 "SEc. s. That any person, in- cluding the master, agent, owner or consignee of any vessel, who shall bring into land in the United States, by vessel or otherwise, or who shall attempt, by himself or through another, to bring into or land in the United States, by yes sel or otherwise, any alien not duly admitted by an immigrant inspector, or not lawfully entitled to enter the United States shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, on con viction, be punished by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or by both such fine and imprisonment for each and every alien so landed or brought in or attempt to be landed or brought in"
 The foregoing section of the I'm migration Laws is quoted for the benefit of the many people, and especially business men, of Nogales, who appear to be laboring under the erroneous impression that Chinese, Japanese and Korean aliens can be brought across.the line to the American side on er- rands, to trade, or for any purpose, whatsoever, upon the mere asser- tion that such persons are mer- chants and have a right to come to the United States, or that such persons intend to remain but a few minutes or hours at most and then to return to Mexico.
 In the past considerable annoy ance has been occasioned by the bringing to the American side of the town for temporary purposes aliens of the class mentioned above; and usually when apprehended by an immigration officer, the person responsible for their coming, or the alien himself, pleads ignorance of the law. Heretofore, and one such case occurred only yesterday, the immigration officers, although ignorance of the law is no excuse, have accepted the excuses offered, feeling, as they did, that possibly an injustice would be done the per sons concerned were they arrested and prosecuted for their acts and the aliens concerned placed in jail and eventually deported to the res pective countries of which they are subjects. All aliens of Japanese or Korean race coming to the United States are considered by the law to be LabOrers until they have proven the contrary to the satisfaction oi the proper immigration officers.
