Albert l. Corey No Match for Dorando
M. Pietri in Marathon Race
at Chicago.
FORMER CLAIMS INJURY
Virtually Quits After Two Miles and
Italian Finishes Miles Ahead
of Him.
FORMER CLAIMS INJUR

Chicago, Jan. 23-Before a crowd
that almost filled the Dexter park pa
william Dorando Pietri of Italy ran AL
bert l.. Corey of Chicago off his feet
last night in what was scheduled as
Marathon race. DorandO finished
alone in 2:55. Corey, after setting the
pace for the first two miles, practically
gave up the race, claiming that he had
hurt his ankle. Physicians who exam
ined the Chicago runner could spot no
injury. In the meantime Dorando went
about his business. increasing his lead
every mile. Corey stopped a number
of times, but was egged on by the
spectators and promoters, and he hung
on for the greater part of the distance,
although hopeleSsly in the rear.
Not the Right Foot.
Corey gave a miserable account of
himself, whether by accident or just
because he knew he was up against "a
better man. He claimed he hurt his
right ankle during the third mile by
stepping on the side of the track. How
ever, it was his left foot that was next
to the track all the time and how he
could hurt the right foot in the man
ner he claimed was hard to see.
Jim Callahan, who was managing the
race, said all that allied Corey was that
he didn't have the nerve to finish and
thereby hangs a tale. In the afternoon
Corey said he couldn't run unless paid
| $500 in advance A check for that
amount was given him to prevent any
hitch at the last minute. With his
money secure, Corey is charged by
the men who conducted the race OF
having laid down.
| Could Find Nothing Wrong.
Callahan was suspicious of the
Frenchman and picked Dr. John D. Nc
Gregor out of the crowd and asked him
to examine the foot. The surgeon sale
there was absolutely nothing wrong
with the right ankle which Corey was
complaining of
( On one of the first occasions of Cor
ey's stopping Callahan's partner, l.
NJ. HOuseman, told Corey he would
have to finish to cash his check
William Hale Thompson sent tn,
runners away at $40, after Johnny
Hayes, the American winner of the
last Olympic Marathon, had been i'll
troduced apd given chance TO chal

DISSOLVE SOCIETY
Secretary Of State is Called on to
Take Steps for Augustana
Church Extension.
PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED
At a Meeting Here All Buildings and
Funds Are Turned Over to the
Beard of Missions.

Proceedings have been instituted
with the secretary of state during the
last week for the dissolution of the
gustana synod This action is the re-
suit of a decision reached at the an
nual meeting of the synod at Chicago
last June to dissolve the society and
to transfer it's field of activity to the
board of missions .,F
At a meeting held at the Augustana
Book concern Wednesday afternoon,
all properties held by the. Church Ex-
tension society were decided TO the
board of missions. They included
churches and parsonages, as well as
iother real estate, in the following
places:
Ogden, Salt Lake City, Santa Quin,
Provo City, Utah; Union City Wash. ;
Great Falls, Mont; Ely, Mimi, and

In addition to these properties, ST.
500 in cash was turned over to the
board of missions by o. p Olson of
this city, treasurer of the extension
| society. Mr. Olson has been an ac
| tive member of the society for many
years, and it is mainly through his eff
forts that the organization has acquir
ed so much property.
Has Done Good Work.
| The synod decided to dissolve the
society in order that all the mission
work in the synod might be taker
charge of by the board of missions
Although the Extension society has &C
complished much work, it was consid
Tered advisable to consolidate the two
bodies and work in unity for the ex
tension of the synod's mission work.
The fact that the Extension societ!
lis an incorporated body under tn;
laws of Illinois necessitated the pra
ceedings with the secretary of stat
for it's dissolution The Extension sc
ciety has been represented in tn
transaction by J. H. Hauberg of Nc
line and the board of missions b,

THE LADIES.

The editor OF the Telegram. some
20 odd years Of age, has not lost his
admiration for the ladies. In an edito-
rial of good humor, he confesses the
sentimental in his nature, as follows:
A writer In New York wants separ-
ate cars for ladies placed on the sub
way and elevated trains: indeed, there
Is an organization that wants the
changes We presume the request Will
be refused by the railroad companies
and rightly SO, because it will be a
great loss OF revenue to the road. The
cars might be fixed ever SO elegantly
and run with the utmost care, but II
there were no men in the cars the
women would not give a cent 10 ride,
they would sooner walk. The delight
OF woman who remains down town
until the O'Clock car, then boards 1t
and sees twenty men hanging onto
straps is too great to give up any such
pleasure. And then the thing would
work both ways. We suspect the men
would keep of the cars II the women
did not ride, because a man that does
not admire a good looking woman un-
der modern hat ia brute; he ought
not TO be permitted to ride In the cars
at all; the gravel train Is too good for
him; he ought to walk.
