Washington, April 5.-Exception is
taken by Representative L. B. Hanna
OF Fargo to the charge that he failed
TO redeem prediction pledges made
with reference to Mr.. Cannon and the
speakership of the house Of represen-
tatives. While he does note deny the
authenticity OF the letter now literally
quoted and cited in support OF the
intention tina Mr.. Hanna mas deserted
to the Cannon fold, he nevertheless
makes 1t plain that the most important
part of the letter was not printed,
namely that part in, which he stated
that he would be bound by the caucus
action of his party, whatever That
might be on the theory that he was
not greater than the party.
Mr.. Hanna, In discussing his atti-
tude towards Speaker Cannon with
The Forum correspondent, declared
that he is not in sympathy with the
Cannon regime and That the best evil
dence Of that fact is his vote for
James Tawney of Minnesota for
speaker, cast during the republican
caucus, ''but when they beat us in
caucus and Mr.. Cannon was declared
Il
was nothing else for me to DO but
to stand by the organization. His
vote, ne said, was cast only after ma
ture consideration and latter many
conferences with Senators McCumber
and Johnson, who have since approved
his course.
ST am opposed to Mr.. Cannon for
speaker and have done my best to
get some other republican to become
a candidate, but without avail" said
the Fargo solon. Ninety per cent OF
1 the republican members of congress
found, were committed to him fol-
speaker when I arrive in Washington

opposition candidate except Chang

ALL READY FOR THE
OFFICIAL Count
COUNCIL MEETS THIS EVENING
IN REGULAR APRIL SESSION
WITH Ric ATTRACTION THE
cANvAssINc OF ELECTION RE-
TURNS PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.

1t is safe to say that there will be
few vacant seats in the council cham
Der this evening when the regular
April meeting of the council Is held.
The big feature attraction is the cam
wasting of the election returns which
win be the first business taken up.
While the general outcome of the
bond question will be known earlier
in the evening, yet the first official
announcement viii be made after a
committee has looked over the books
from the various voting precincts.
Every precaution was taken by City
Auditor N. c. Morgan to guard against
irregularities. Large notices were
printed and pasted on each ballot box
bearing 'Tnspector-keep the ballot
box for sixty days There was
something of a practice of bringing
the boxes to the city hall the night of
election rather than keeping them in
the wards where the ballots were cast
as provided by law. The boxes are
eventually returned to the city hall.
but not until after the dust of the
election has settled and any chance
for contest passed.

out of the way, the little Frencnman
began to dog the footsteps of Shrubb.
The Englishman tried to squirt, but st.
Yves was right at his heels. He jump
ed ahead of the great English runner
then he Jagged behind, but he never
tired, and wnen Shrubb showed signs
of distress ST Yves went right ahead
and put another opponent out of the
contest.
Despite the climatic conditions the
crowd would not be denred. The his
toric polo grounds, renovated until
they looked like big ampitheratre,
filed rapidly and when. at 800 Big
Tim" Sullivan sent the six runners
away on their long journey. there were
10000 in the enclosure.
DorandO, with the persistency that
Is characteristic Of him, jumped into
the lead at the start of the race and
he held his advantage for five laps.
But never once during the short time
he held the place of honor could the
Italian open up a gap on mis- adver-
saries. While the first mile was on
its last stages st. Yves jumped into
the lead and for nine miles he held
his advantage, setting fast pace that
soon began to tell on Haynes and Ma
loney. Gradually these two dropped
back and when Shrubb took the lead
in the eleventh mile they were almost
a mile behind the other runners.
Shrubb did his best but the French
man kept right after him. The Eng
lishman was out to run Longboat. the
man who had defeated him i'm the only
other Marathon race he had ever COM
peted in, off his feet, and he succeeded
/ He forced Longboat to quit, but i'm do
ing so he wasted all his energy. and
when st. Yves began to regain the
lead in the eighteenth mile the Eng
lishman could not keep pace with him
and 1t was a foregone conclusion that
barring accidents, tine new conner in
Marathon racing on this side would be
returned a winner.
Never faltering, never changing his
pace for a second. but keeping a
steady jog. which at times he changed
into a sprint, the little son of France
kept plodding along, and at the finish
he was four laps ahead OF Dorando
who in turn had a lap to the good or
Hayes.
Hayes Makes Game Finish.
The American, Hayes, made one Of
the gamest finishes ever seen in a con.
test of this kind. Over a mile behind
he began to sprint after the twenty.
third mile, and by a gait which none
of the other runners were able to re.
spond to, ne gradually reduced thei
lead, and from last position he jumped
into third place, while the former anna,
teur champion had to be content witt
the tail end of the purse.
/ TIL winner received $4,000 of tn
. $4,000 purse, while Dorando's shar
was $4,000, Hayes $1,000 and Malone,
, $1,000.
The contestants are considering al
offer to race In Buffalo under tn
] same conditions which governed to
days Marathon, and 1t is likely tina
a majority of them will accept the ne1
offer.

HENRI ST. YVES WON N. Y. MARATHON


New York, April 5.-Henri st. Yves
Is tonight hailed as the king OF all
Marathon runners. Unknown, a rank
outsides in the betting. this stoclSy lit
tie son Of France, who was formerly a
waiter In a London restaurant de-
feated a field Of the best runners in
the world and won the $40, 900 Mara
thon derby, which was run on the
Polo grounds Saturday afternoon.
Not only did the little Frenchman
win easily, but he established a new
worlds record for the distances
miles 3S5 yards - finishing in
2:4O:50 3-5, which. outside of the time
made by Mathew Maloney in the race
from Yonkers to New York
(2:3s:26 $50, a record which was
never credited, was the best time the
distance has ever been covered in.
Dorando Petri. the italian runner,
who collapsed when he all but had the
Olympic Marathon won last year, fin
ished second, and Johnny Hayes, the
winner in London last year, was third
with Maloey fourth. Two other start
ers, Tom Longboat, the Onondaga In
dian. and Alfred Shrubb, the great
English runner, without a peer up to
twenty miles, were forced to give up,
Longboat quitting in the twentieth
mile, and Shrubb giving up the ghost
In the twenty fifth.
Always Close to Lead.
Never more than twenty miles be-
hind, in any stage of the journey, and
In the lead and setting q fierce pace
won his right to the position in the
front rank of all runners. And his per-
Torrance is all the more remarkable
because it was made on a soggy
track made slow by the heavy rain
that fell before the start of the race,
but never once did the new, champion
falter. He plugged along. he kept all
manner Of pace, and when the leader
faltered he ran into the lead and made
the others follow.
And they could not keep up the pace
Shrubb tried for a while. He led from
the eleventh to the eighteenth mile
but st. Yves was right at his back and
when the Englishman began to show
signs of faltering the man from France
went into the lead and gradually, steu
by step, stride by stride, ne forged
ahead until he was at the English
mans back again, a full lap to the
good. and this broke the heart of the
son of Johnny Bull.
But before Great Britain's son quit
the race, the Indian was forced to give
up. Longboat could not stand the CO.
ing. Twice before he finally gave w
the onondaga went to mis- camp to re.
caperate, but the efforts of his attend
ants were in vain. Longboat did mo-
have the stamina to follow the Cruel,

until at last nature forced him to give
up the struggle.

Rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten
cases of rheumatism are simply rheu-
matism of the muscles. due to cold or
damp, or chronic rheumatism. In
such cases no internal treatment is re-
quired. The free application OF Cham
berlain's Liniment is all that is need
ed, and it is certain to give quick re-
lief. Give it trial and see for your
self how quickly it relieves the pain
and soreness. The medicines usuall5
given internally for rheumatism are
poisonous or very strong medicines.
They are worse than useless in cases
OF chronic and muscular rheumatism.
