LADY LYTTON

In a telegram from London it is stat

jail under the name of Jane Warton,
for smashing the jail windows, was lib
Grated late Sunday afternoon. 1t was

Lady Constance Lytton, sister of Lord
Lytton, served a sentence in Walton jail
here under the name of Jane Warrior,
for smashing the jail windows.
Lady Lytton, disguised as a work
woman, set about to force the authori-
ties to imprison her to prove her asser-
ton that Home Secretary Gladstone's
recent action in releasing her from
Newcastle jail on the official ground
that she had a weak heart, was really
on account of her social position and
the agitation which was exercised by
forcible feeding of prisoners by the of
fcers.
Lady Lytton came to Liverpool Janu-
airy ID, and proceeded deliberately to
smash the Jail windows with stones.
Lady Constance was sentenced to a
fortnight's Imprisonment, one week OF

TRAINED BY WOMEN
A Banker Is Relieved of His Cash
Woman Tainted on His Shoulder


New York, Jan. 24-Warner d. Van
norden, the banker, and son of Warner
vannorden, president of Che Vannorden
Trust Company, was robbed of $4,000
last Wednesday night as he Was jeaving
the Waldorf Astoria.

Mr.. Vannorden saw two women
walking along Fifth avenue. One
dropped a pocketbook and Mr.. Vannor-
den politely picked it up and returned
it to her.
A hearty slap on the back was the
somewhat startling and unconventional
manner in which one of the women sig
nalized her thanks. There was a pro-
fusion of thanks and bows, and one of
the women suddenly tainted on Mr..
Vannorden's shoulder.
The woman revived and few min
utes later. Mr.. Vannorden missed the
$4,000. The women were held in
100000 bonds.

TAFT AND TILLMAN
Engage in Good Natured Banter Over
Race Question and Cuba.

Washington, Jan, 23.-President Taft
and Senator Tillman of South Carolina
clashed in good natured discussion of
the merits of the personnel of the army
in Cuba and in the Philippines last night
at the annual banquet of the Military
Order of the Carabao.
The dinner was a private affair and
the army men and their guests were
loath to disclose just what was said, but
it was learned that the South Carolina
senator spoke in a characteristic vein
and made some pointed criticiSements
on the army.
He realized, as he told the President
afterwards, that he was touching Mr..
Taft ON a sore spot, and the President
seemed to understand that he was do
ing it for the purpose of stirring him
up" for he said so in his reply, and,
while vigorously defending the army,
he passed off the whole matter as
joke.
When the President concluded his
speech, which those present said was a
rafting good one," Mr.. Tillman was
the first to extend his hand in congrat-
ulation, and the pair chatted aniably for
several minutes
Since Mr.. Taft occupied the White
House Mr.. Tillman has been in persona
grata there, although he had not entered
its portals previously for nearly seven
years. Tonight's incident was therefore
regarded as merely good natured banter
between two friends, and, as neither
participant displayed any feeling, it was
regarded lightly by the Carabans and
their guests.
Speaker Cannon and Representative
J. A. Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
House committee on military affairs,
also were present and made brief
speeches.
President Taft in his address said:
MY friends, the distinguished SEN
ator from South Carolina, l have known
we'll, have been glad to know, have been
honored by his friendship, and I want
to assure you that he is good deal bet
ter fellow than you sometimes think
from what he says. He is not always
one who sits and talks, thinking about
the race question and miscegenation and
| amalgamation, and that sort of thing.
| He does have other thoughts; but when
he gets on his feet and starts on that
slippery subject it requires good deal
of force, or a good deal of poise, to
keep him from going further than he
| really wanted to go himself. He says
that we are going to annex Cuba. Well,
| don't think so. He thinks that because
Cuba has a race question we have got
to mix their race question with our race
question and have a sort of result with
sulphur rising from it that is going to
consume the world I don't believe that.
| don't believe the senator does, except
as these words roll from his lips, and
they have rolled from his lips since 'oo
on the Senate floor and from the stump,
and have never accomplished anything
in the election, and yet he can not get
over it. y

HOL DER OF MARATHON RECORD
LEARNED TO RUN FROM BOOK

Most athletes forge ahead be-
cause they are we'll coached and
trained; some jump up suddenly,
because they possess natural abil-
ity, but they are the exceptions.
Of the men who have gained
fame with nothing but ability to
rely upon, Hans Holmer, holder of
the, worlds record of 2:32:40 for
the full distance, is the most strik-
ing example before the public.
Holmer has never been systemat-
ically trained or coached. He runs
like hydrant, because he can't
help it. Two years ago while in the
Canadian army he CHANGED upon
treatise on running by George Or
ton, the old Penn star. who in 1886
won the French steeplechase cham
pionship and II more before he was
beaten in 1903 by Newton.
This book is the only help Hol
mer has had. He says he learned
he could run one day when chasing
couple of buck privates in the
gym. They went upstairs and
down, and when they saw Holmer
gaining they took to the open,
where the going was bit rough,
y'know. 1t suited the big fellow
and he collared both.
This gave Holmer a bunch he
could outfoot the men who were
harvesting medals at the regi-
mental meets, so he tackled the
best quarter-miler in the barracks
and beat his head off. He had a
bunch then that big men should
keep off the distances.
81 always could run as fast as
can now" he says, "and as l never
had any bloomin coaching, l don't
see why should have any now"
HOlmer is proud of his Tom
Sharkey-like chest and his powerful
legs. When he won the Atlantic
City Marathon he grew tired of the
scenery and enlivened the race by
whistling as he logged along.
Holmer's style looks awkward
His large feet slap the earth with a
whack, his body keeps an almost
perpendicular position, his legs
work like machinery, and his feet
Just skim the ground 1t is doubt
full if a trainer could improve his
style, for it is frictionless, and he
doesn't waste a bit of energy.

BY capturing three-fourths of the
program from Vancouver last night
the 8. A. A. c. interclub squad
holds victories over each club in
the p. N. A. circuit, and leads the
athletic league by good margin,
with q record of IL wins and four
defeats in 16 bouts.
The only interclub event which
slipped through the fingers of the
local crew was the 115-pound box
Ing, Lou Stephens winning the
event for the visitors by his ag-
gressiveness in the fourth and ex-
ira round of the mill. Lyle Nc
Coy put up a great fight against
the British Columbia champion, but
failed to land his sleep producer.
The fans decided that he will do.
Tommy Kelly, the 125-pounder
with the Furnishing straight left,
handled Hugh Mclean in almost
the same fashion as he did Donald
9. Numbers, the Portland lad.
The Vancouverite is a glutton for
punishment, however, and sailed
into Tommy for two rounds last
night, taking everything that came
his way, in vain effort to slip
over the winning kick. Paris took
pity on his man in the third frame
and tossed a towel into the ring,
preventing a knockout.
sREcHIN AND GEsEk.
George Brechin and Chris Gesek
again delivered the goods last
night, the Vancouverites proving
little harder than the Seattle and
and Portland mat men. These two
lads have such string of unbroken
victories to their credit that the
only question which the fans ask
when either of these men go on
is, wonder how long it will take
him to get fall?"
Weighing 1873 pounds, Brechin
went up against William Peacock,
a 145-pound Vancouerite last night,
and while the advantage in weight
enabled Peacock to last longer than
the grapplers Brechin has mixed
with this season, the first fall
came after 10 minutes of fast and
furious work that put the fans on
edge. The second fall came after
