day by Trip Across the
Continent.

Edward Payson Weston. the pedes-
trian who walked from Portland. Ne.
10 Chicago. in October. 1907, break
ing his former record. will under
take a still greater feat on his 10Th
birthday. March Is. He will leave New
York, bound for San Francisco, on a
4.OOO-mile journey, which he expects to
cover in 100 days.
Weston Won the Ashley belt just
thirty years ago. and at that time
promised Sir John D. Ashley that on
his 10Th birthday he would demonstrate
70 the world that his great walks had
had no III effect upon his health. He
assured Sir John that these walks. in
stead of injuring his health, had made
HIM the healthiest man in the world.
The veteran walker has been prepar-
ing for the journey and, in fact. has
made his entire life's work prepare
ton for this great effort. It is IN
doubleday true that his POrtland-to-
Chicago walk is largely responsible
for the present interest in pedestrian
ism and this form Of athletics the
country over.
He has not selected his route, but
rather favors the northern line across
the United States to the Alaskan-Yu-
kon- Pacific exposition at Seattle,
Wash, and then to San Francisco. Pro
viding this march is selected and finally
decided upon, Weston Will make every
effort to cover 1900 miles in 100 days.
He will not walk on Sunday, as is his
invariable rule. but will rest on the
Sabbath day He will, however. con-
sent TO deliver lectures en- route on
Sunday.

Isn't it strange how Colorado col
leges can't get together on a code Of ell
gibility? I have never seen place in
my life like Colorado when it comes TO
amateur sports, especially college attn
leties. Here each college seems afraid
the other is sharpening a meat ak to do
some head-chopping in the dark. One
school viii propose rules and these viii
be turned down. The college that turned
them down will propose new ones, and
then the other college viii fire the rules
back in great haste with the cry 'un-
reasonable.
"One thing Is certain-the sooner the
University Of Colorado. Colorado School
or Mines. Colorado college, University
Of Denver and Colorado Agricultural
college get together on eligibility rules
the better it will be for the interests
Of all
And when one college has athletes

above is the first indication from a
Colorado source that such move was

lively for either the University Of Utah

he believes both of these schools would
gladly enter into any agreement with
the Colorado schools that would drive

consensus OF opinion in Utah that the
Colorado schools are reeking with pro-
fessionalism. That men are secured
through various means to represent

MURDER MYSTERY AT DETROIT
ArnIess and LesIess Body Of Woman
Sewed up In sack Found In
Stream.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 7.--All day long
Shetiff Castor and his deputies have
dragged Ecorss Greek and questioning
residents In the dOwn-river district
In hopes Of finding some clew ~ to
the identity Of the decapitated, arm
less and legless body Of the young
woman found in the stream early yes
terday morning but their efforts have
as yet been in vain. 1t Is thought
that the torso, which was securely
sewn In q gunny sack may have been
thrown IN the water at Detroit and
carried down the river BY the current
until It reached the creek, which Ii
only a few miles below the city. Con-
seQuently officers are securing the
city docks In hopes Of finding some
tangible evidence.
The county physicians feel certain
that the body had only been in the
water few days and the age Of the
victim Is estimated to be between 20
tnd % years. When shown the trunk
the medical men were visibly sur,
prised at the skill with which the
limbs and head were cut OF.
