A Speech That Hanlan, the Oarsman'
~ Delivered In England: o.
Edward Hanlan, once champion oars
man Of the world, related q good story
Of how he delivered a speech after
winning his second race in England.
His first victory had found him unpre-
pared. He was ready for his second
with speech composed for him by a
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper and stored away for use IN Ills
coat pocket. -.,......
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hear
ing the winner he was helped out upon
a window ledge by his friends ana
held there by the coattails and the
legs. The crowd cheered him wildly.
He was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture Of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible num-
BILE Of apology for his inability to de-
liver a speech. They could not hear on
account Of the noise that they were
themselves making, but they. encour-
aged him with generous applause. he
saw his escape and proceeded to
shake his head and work his lips In
fine frenzy Of oratory, gesticulating
eloquently and smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the echo, and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge. r....1
"You carried that crowd along In
STYLE" they congratulated him. What
did you say? We couldn't hear you"
Eyes. Give us an idea Of your speech"
the reporters put in, drawing out their
notebooks.
Hanlan took the manuscript from
his pocket. Heres the whole thing"
he said. do you want 1t ALP

speech made hit" .y.4.

JUDGE POLLOCK
AGREES WITH LADD

Judge Pollock of the district court
of the Third judicial district has rem
dered a decision in the famous bleached
-four case in which the millers of the
state sought to enjoin Pure Food Com
missioner Ladd from publishing bulle-
tins in which he described the flour in
which foreign elements were used for
the purpose of bleaching the same, as
adulterated. The hearing was one of
the most sensational in the history of
the, fight for pure food. The decision
of Judge Pollock sustains the conten-
tons of the pure food commissioner on
every point raised. The opinion is a
voluminous as we'll as an exhaustive
one, and not only goes into the law
of the case, but is exhaustive in its
discussion of the evidence submitted by
the millers He holds that while it may
be possible that the bleaching elements
are eradicated in the process of baking,
that the question before the court was
the adulteration of the -four and not of
the bread and that on :tis point there
is practically no contention. He scores
the evidence of the experts and shows
that it is not reliable in character nor
conclusive in merit. -.
The case may be appealed to the STU
preme court, but in view of the fact
that fourteen Of the seventeen millers
of the state have decided to join the
pure food commissioner in preventing
the further use of bleaching ingredients
would indicate that the battle is ended.

lnaecjble Won Dvlovv.


During Hans Won Bulow's leader
ship of the orchestra at Hanover o
tenor Of fame was engaged to play a
star role in "Lohengrin," and while
the singer was rehearsing his part Bu-
low was forced to 60 over the same
bars a number Of times without the
new actor beginning to sing. Tired OF
his wasted efforts. the leader stopped
the orchestra and angrily turned to
the singer.
II know that tenor Is proverbially
stupid" he said, "but you seem to
make an extensive use Of this unwrit-
ten law" ~~'
At another time, while one Of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first he thought
1t resembled the hutter Of wings, but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
tanning herself In one Of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his ges'
lures, fixing his eyes on the offender
in a manner which meant reproof. The
lady, not needing this. was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
stick and turning toward her.

 Whoever did it." said the colonel must have put a knee on the mans back and pulled strong pull, as you say.' In speaking the words he felt shiver. for he seemed to see that red smear above Mercer's knee.
 He felt the shiver again when Mer- cer returned and he glanced at him; there was not stain on his shining white cuffs; he had changed them; he had also changed his suit of clothes and his shoes. His eyes met the colo ners; and Winter fancied there was glint of defiance in them; he made no comment for no doubt a plausible excuse for the fresh clothes was ready.
