LUNGHI GREATEST
HALF MILE RUNNER

EMILIO Lunghi is undoubtedly the
greatest half-miler this country has
ever seen. Italy is certainly coming
to the front. A week or so ago Sc
attic had a chance to see what they
could do in the way of celebration
and parade. To do credit to the occa-
sion | should have to have the faculty
of the late Julian Ralph or Richard
Harding Davis But it is easy to deal
with cold figures. Lunghi started the
record of Lon E. Meyers made twenty
seven years ago. when he covered the
distance in 1:27 2-5. The remarkable
part about it was that he set up the
new worlds record with all the ease
of a fellow going out to do little
practice. Nine out OF ten persons have
little idea of time as applied to run
ming, but to the inquisitive it must sug-
gest something when it is remembered
that Lunghi had to cover twenty -four
feet every second to make the new rec
ord. Furthermore, it is said that he
ran the entire distance at such an even
pace that it was impossible to detect
where he increased or lowered his aver

BICYCLE POLICEMAN IS SHOT,
Bullet Was Intended For Prefect

Repeatedly on the Mob
of Anarchists.

Paris, Oct. IA manifestation in,
protest against the execution Of Pro-
fessor Francisco Ferrer In Spain gave
rise to rioting here. A bicycle police
man was killed by a shot intended for
Prefect Of Police Lepine. A woman
also was killed, and about 200 rioters
were wounded.
A mass meeting of anarchists had
been summoned by Deputy Jaure's
newspaper, Humanite, and Herve's or
gan, the Social War, calling on every
one to meet in the Place de Clichy and
proceed to the house of the Spanish
ambassador. Herve's appeal was word
cd with more than his customary vio-
lence. He said:
'"The royal young idiot, whose heart
has not been touched by Ferrer's
daughters tears or the indignant pro-
tests of the civilized world, is an as
sassin. He will end like his neighbor,
Portugal's royal hog. He signed his
own condemnation to death this morn
ing, and when he dies like a dog no
man of heart in the whole world will
shed a tear over the royal carrion."
The article concluded with an appeal
to all Unionists, Socialists and an
archists to join in demonstration of
protest.
A procession of many thousands of
persons, crying Assassin" "Nive Fer
rer. and "A bas la Calotte" and sing
ing the "Internationale." started at a
brisk rate from the Place de Clichy.

Five revolver shots were fired from
the ranks of the procession. Imme-
diately re-enforcements of mounted
men and police hurried up and drove
back the crowd hundred yards with
blows from their sheathed swords
The rioting then became general.
The crowd broke all the gas lamps in
the surrounding streets. The mounted
men charged repeatedly. The mob
stopped three autobuses within 200
yards of each other in the Rue Tocque-
vile and set them on fire.
An attempt was made to form bar
ricade with lamp posts which We're
torn down. An order was given to
draw sabers, and the mounted men,
numbering sixty, followed by the po-
lice, made savage charge hitting
men and women indiscriminately.
