DORANDO AND COREY
RUN SPEEDY TRIALS

Dorando Pietri, the little, yet great
italian Marathon runner, gave Chicago
ans sample of his remarkable ability
in his first local workout at the Chi
cago Athletic association yesterday
morning. The little fellow flew around
the indoor track seventy three times,
distance of 4.977 miles, in thirty-fou
minutes, and did it so easily as to COM
mand the admiration of those who
watched the performance. He finished
the run with a fast squirt and pulled
up breathing little harder than normal
after his exertions.
The athletes who watched Dorando
declare they have never seen distance
runner like him on a Chicago indoor
track. He runs easily, has a splendid
stride for small a man and appears
to be possessed of wonderful endur-
ance. When he had been running half
an hour, his brother. Ulpiano, who was
holding a watch on him, shouted the
time to him, and Dorando then cut
loose as if he had not been running al
all and tore around the track like a
Splinter for several minutes He GER
tainly looks what he claims to be, one
of the greatest of distance runners.

proper to call attention to the fact
that the secret service division OF the
treasury department now exists with
out permanent authority of law, de.
pendent entirely upon appropriations
made from year to year, and that the
like force in the. department. of JUS
tice is similarly without permanent au.
