Former Achieve nents Of St. Yves,
Winner Of $4,000, Marathon Race.
Henri st. Yves of France, the winner
Of the recent $4,000 Marathon race In
New York. is not yet twenty-one years
of age, but today he is regarded as the
greatest long distance runner In the
world. He never has been beaten.
winning a Marathon at Edinburgh,
Scotland, last December In 2 hours "A
minutes 40 seconds from good field
and is said to have covered the dis
lance from Windsor castle to the sta
dunn at Shepherds Bush in the re-
markable time Of hours 81 minutes
% seconds. This time is said to have
been made in private trial. 1t excels
Hayes figures in the London Mara
tbon last summer by nearly twenty
minutes.
st. Yves was a waiter in London
restaurant year ago without a dol
lar. Falling q victim to the Marathon
fever, he took up running and quickly
demonstrated that he possessed ster-
ling qualities. AL COPELAND, Princetons
athletic trainer, heard of st. Yves a
few weeks ago and brought him to
the United States, but as nobody had
seen him in action and as COPELAND pre-
pared him for the race in compare
tive secret at Princeton he did not re-
ceive serious consideration by the gen
eral sporting public in calculating the
respective merits Of the six starters.
In appearance st. Yves is not rum
ner. He is short In stature, built like
wrestler. with powerful legs, broad
shoulders. deep chest and muscular
arms. His hair is light, and his small
mustache does not hide an excellent
set of teeth.
St. Yves ran the Marathon in faster
time than that recorded in any Of the
recent indoor races in Madison Square

HALTER FOR A HUNGRY FISH

Colorado Game Warden Tells 4 New
Angling Yarn.
The officers whose duty it is to en-
force the fish and game laws in the
Rocky mountain states have numerous
difficulties. said Edward Powell, Jr..
a deputy fish and game warden Of
Colorado, while at the Sexton hotel in
Kansas City.
"As to the violation Of the fishing
laws, boys give US the greater amount
Of trouble" he said the other day, ''be-
cause they insist on fishing in and out
of season. One boy has successfully
eluded us for four years. We have
been trying to stock stream with
black bass in his neighborhood. He
insists on fishing in that stream the
year round.
II happened upon him last fall just
after he had made a good catch. I
took the string Of fish out Of the water
to examine. them and found only cat
fish, sun perch and suckers on the line.
There is no. closed season on those fish.
I: walked down the stream few feet
further and there found a large black
bass wiggling on a string, weighted
down with q stone. asked him what
he was doing with that fish.
""That one?' he said. Well. you
see, he's been taking my bait all the
morning, and just tied him up there
until got through fishing"

new LIFE; INSURANCE Plan,

Comments on Scheme to Proiono Lite
.$' Of Policy Holders. -
A new method of increasing the In
comes Of life insurance companies was
advocated by DR.. Burnside Foster,
editor of the St. Paul Medical Journal
of st. Paul. Mimi, at meeting Of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents in the assembly hall Of the
Metropolitan Life company In New
York city the other day. DR.. Foster
Is q life insurance examiner in Mime
sofa.
His plan in brief is tLHt the CON-
panies should establish regular med
ical examination of all their policy
holders every five years, with view
to ascertaining whether or not they
had acquired any of the preventable
diseases since the time Of their last
previous examination.
The benefit of the policy holders. he
said, would come by the discovery Of
such disease, which they could take
measures to either cure or by change
Of method of living prolong their lives.
The companies, the doctor explained,
would not only be comforting an in
calculable benefit upon their policy
holders, but by the extension OF the
life of their risks they would be In
creasing the premiums from those
risks who would otherwise have died
and not only ceased to be assets, but
would have become liability had the
disease driven them to their death.
Comments by the insurance officials
present were all based on the nonprac-
ticability Of the scheme, mainly be-
cause of it's expense. DR.. Thomas II.
Willard, medical examiner Of the Met
ropolitan Life, declared that In his
company there were upward of $780,
600 policies now in force for over five
years in the Industrial department
alone. To re-examine these risks, he
said. would cost not less than $780,
600.
The ordinary policy holder, he said,
would be ''scared to DEATH at any at
tempt to re-examine him, and the man
who consented to such re-examina-
ton and xeceived clean bill OF health
would be- inclined to let his policy
lapse If, it became the least bit irk-
some. :H
DR.. F. c. Wells, medical examiner
Of the Equitable Life, and DIR. Oscar
II. Rogers of the New York Life also
dissented.
1.-THE scheme is only suggestion at
BEST" said DR.. Foster in reply. "but
the idea of preventive medical work
will grow and is growing daily, though
proper preventive medical work, to
be carried on rightly, should better be
conducted by the state"

New German 9aiutation.

A curious society has recently been
formed at Darmstadt, in, Hesse: It's
object is to promote the substitution Of
the military salute for the present
mode of salutation among civilians.
Instead of the present method Of rails
ing ones hat, the Hessians-or at least
a certain proportion Of them-would
like to see the general adoption Of the
German military salute, consisting OF
bringing the hand extended, with fin
gers close together, to the edge Of ones
hat. The only reason given for this
strange prediction is that the new
salutation would be identical with that
used In the time of Arminius.

The idea is said to be Mrs. Tafts.
and many prominent Washington peo-
pie are expected to turn out on the
days designated. In order to give the
innovation an official character the
president and Mrs. Taft will attend
the first concert on April ii and all
subsequent concerts while they are in
town.
Major Cosby, superintendent Of pub
lie buildings and grounds, has received
instructions to erect a band stand Of
suitable character.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Taft
will ask the next session Of congress
for an appropriation to improve and
beautify further the river front in the
vicinity Of which the official concerts
are to be held.

Few Changes We're Made

Of Lead From Dingley Schedule

by the COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, May 10. The
principle changes made BY the house
committee On ways and means III TIE
Philippine tariff bill are explained In
a report submitted to the house to-
day by Payne Of New York. Il Is
stated that the new tariff for tie
islands becomes necessary. because
the free trade provisions Of the
Payne bill win deprive the insuIar
government Of about one million
dollars in revenue. The export du-
ties on MANILA, hemp, copra, tobacco,
sugar and shells which yielded
revenue Of $743OS8 in 1908 was RI
enacted in the new bill. The new
section provides that there shall be
collected on all articles imported
from countries other than the United
States the internal revenue tax as
sessed on similar articles produced in
the Philippines or imported from tie
United States. The duties assessed
by the bill are reduced in number
Of instances.
The ability Of the republican ma.
ority Of the senate to uphold the rec
concentrations Of the committee an
finance on the lead schedule which
contains the Dingley rates in the
tariff bill in place Of the lower duties
fixed BY the house was fully repre-
sented today when. BY vote Of IS to
"a the senate declined to reduce by

Gratis and two democrats with the

Of 2 l-S cents per pound on Zig lead

Plenty Of Water In the South

diCted by Experts "
sOuNDINGs TO Be MADE
United States Engineers VIII Make a
compss.:s Survey and Soundings Of
Channel and Bar at Mouth Of the
Columbia in June.

PORTLAND, May l0.-That the
south channel leading into the Co
lumbia river has a depth of-28 feet
or more water at the zero mark is
expected to be revealed BY the an
nual survey. which will be made by
the government next month. Prep
arations or the soundings are now
under way, and it is announced tina.
the task will be undertaken by the
United States engineers early in
June if the weather conditions per.
NIT. II will take the best part Of
the month to complete the job.
A year ago when the soundings
were taken the channel was 26i feet
deep and about 5000 feet in width.
Consequently if it has increased /,
depth from II to 2 feet in the past
II months the result viii show that
the big breakwater being construct
ed is having the desired effect. There
is every indication that it has caused
the ship passageway TO scour out to
a much greater depth than ever be-
fore. In support Of this view it is
pointed out that the ships coming in
and crossing out to sea never suffer
the detention they experienced in the
past. Ii Is also very seldom that
they wait for favorable weather con.
ditions.
