The finish Of the big Marathon race

Earl Koehler, of Gary, to win from his
much touted opponent John Sugrue Of
South Chicago. excited the people of
Gary to a pitch of frenzy as they raced
down Broadway neck and neck in the
finish of the sixteen mile grind.
The day, Saturday. was the most mis-
cradle of any that could have been
selected. 1t alternated with rain and
snow. with an occasional peek of the
sun BY way of variation. During this
time the wind swept over the prairie
with velocity of forty miles an hour
chilling the spectators with heavy
wraps on, and stiffening the muscles of
the runners.
Just as the runners started snow
began to fall on Broadway and but
few thought that there would be more
than two or three finish
Instead of that number however.

at the finish and each one which held
on to the finish viii be awarded one Of
the valuable. prizes The time Of those

The accident occurred at Sixth ave
nue. and Broadway. Romanick had
just loaded his wagon and had started
out with his evening milk delivery.
Just as he approached the corner his
horses became frightened at an auto
mobile and ran into a team of horse
belonging to Contractor Hiney. They
then struck one Of the Gary and in
terurban poles. in the middle of the
street. overturning the wagon and
freeing thems elves from the harness
Romanick was thrown to the pave
ment, but was uninjured save for a
few cuts and bruises. The frightened
horses continued down Broadway un-
til Eleventh avenue, where they were
stopped In striking the iron pole one

to be shot later by one of the local
policemen.
A large crowd of people were on the
street watching the start of the Mara

san Francisco, Oct. American
Ambassador T. ]. O'Brien, who is re-
turning to his post in the Far East.
after a vacation at his old home in
Grand Rapids, Mich, believes that,
with Japan anxious to keep all of her
laborers at homo to develop her own
lands, and with plenty of work there
for all the natives, that the japanese
immigration problem in America
ought to right itself.
In speaking Of this question,
OBriens aid:
"The japanese immigration today
does not equal the emigration, and
whatever war scare may have ex-
listed is quite forgotten now"
In O'Brien's opinion, the Japanese
immigration problem is fundamen-
tally more a racial than an economic
one, but he does not apprehend any
serious complication in the future be-
cause of It. He said:
81 cannot think that japan is en-
couraging tho poachers on the fot-
eign seal fisheries Poaching Is

It would be very foolish to encourage

terday afternoon in the 22d Regiment ArmOry. and
was arranged ny Mrs. William Cumming Story, had
a distinctly story complexion to attendance,
but no one said anything -publicy-about politics,
and so far as the uninitiated observer could see
the city Beautiful had crowded out all thought Of
the war clouds which threaten TO break the
City Federation OF Women's Clubs on Friday. The
drillro1m WAS beautiful with statuary and pictures
and the green burlap covering of the dais provided
for the speakers made a most satisfactory setting
for Mrs Story's purple gown.
Among the suggestions made for the improve
lnent Of the city was a wadins pool FOR children in
the parks Mrs J. Archibald Shaw thought that,
apart from all consideration OF the Joy such pool
would give the children, their little bare legs would
be a charming addition to the landscape other
