But Not the Payne

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April O.
That iasuigency will dominate the In
diana republican state convention in
it's one-day session of Tuesday and
that United States Senator Albert j.
Beveridge's twelve years service in
the senate will be endorsed without
equiyocation, which means the in-
dorsement of his opposition to the
Payne-Aldrich tariff, was the predic-
tion made tonight by Beveridge's sup
porters after week of campaigning
preliminary to tie convention.
The progressives claim to have
achieved complete victory over the
standpatters and they see in it a fore
cast of what other states in the union
will do when their republican con-
ventions are held.
According to the progressives, the
Indiana republicans will indorse tfe
tariff plank Of the national convention
OF 1908, and the tariff schedules made
by President Taft during that cam
paign. The platoon, they declare.
will not mention the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, but stress will be laid upon the
creation of tariff commission and the
presidents recent recommendation
along this line will receive hearty in
eorsemenf. The fact that Senator
Beveridge is the father Of the tariff
commission plan and the first national
tariff commission convention was
held in Indianapolis win make this
action especially appropriate.
The personnel of the resolutions
committee is settled and it is said
to be controlled by Beveridge mon.
Senator Beveridge himself will Ere

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2.-'An

is charged by Secretary Ballinger
against Attorney Brandeis because of
the demands of the prosecution S"
counsel upon the interior department
for documents and other evidence in
letter to Chairman Nelson, laid be-
fore the congressional investigating
committee today.
The secretary in forwarding certain
documents requested by Brandeis,
makes the following comment
In this connection, beg to add
that the demands which have been
made on this department for records
by Mr.. Brandeis since this investiga-
tion began have been so numerous and
extensive as to result in great incon-
venieDce and expense.
That which may be desirable as
the prosecution in those proceedings
has now rested, and evidence is now
being introduced by counsel repre-
senting me. From this statement, it
is obvious that the demands of Mr..
Brandeis can no longer be regarded
as in furtherance of a proper inquiry,
but as being as mere fishing pro-
cess
In another letter dated the follow
ing day, Secretary Ballinger renter
ates this protest:
q repeat" he writes Nelson, that
in these applications ! see nothing
else than an oblique attempt to con.
troll the manner in which the evidence
shall present shall be introduced"

HE RAN OVER 26 MILES
Made the Distance in Better Time
Than Launch Could go From

Madison.

NEW YORK. April 2.-Setting a
new world outdoor record of 2 hours,
81 minutes and 2-5 seconds for the
Marathon distance of 26 miles 3S5
miles, Gustav L. Jungstrom, the
Swedish marvel, won the second an
nual Marathon held at the Polo
grounds here this afternoon.
James Crowley, the Irishman, was
second in hours, 81 minutes and s
seconds and Thure Joahansen, the win
ner's team mate, third, in 2 hours, SO
minutes and 5S As seconds. Ted
Crook, Fred Meadows and Johnny
Hayes finished in the order named,
several laps behind the winner. The
worlds reiord for the distance over
outdoor course was 2 hours, 40 min
utes, 80 seconds, made by st Ives in
the first Marathon here last year.
Jungstrom's wonderful performance
today was not unexpected. Before the
race started Jungstrom, coupled with
with his fellow countryman Johansen
was hot favorite in the betting,
odds as good as to being offered
on the Sweie. Hans Holmer, Ameri-
can, was second choice at 5 to 10 to
win. Six nations were represented in
the field which lined up for the start
er's pistol. Out of the twelve men en-
tered, Paul A.. Coos, the Canadian,
Indian and Fontunati Zanti, tile ital-
ian professional were scratched. The
men who started were Johnny Hayes,
Hans Holmer and Ted Crook, Amer
leans, Gustav L. Jungstrom and Thure
Johansen, Sweden; Jim Crowley and
Matt Maloney, Ireland; Fred Mead
ows, Canada Umberto Blasts, Italy,
and Percy Sellon, England.
Fully $4,000 people watched the
race.
Holmer took the lead in the first lap
after the starting gun and held it
through the eighteen miles. On the
third mile he Tapped Maloney and
Blasi and at the end of the fourth mile
Tapped Maloney a second time. In the
fifth he Tapped Hayes, and Mead
ows in the sixth passed Johansen for

third time.
Meanwhile Crowley and Sellen were
keeping the field well in the air and
alternating at second and third. In
the second lap of the thirteenth mile
Blast fell, but got to his feet after a
moment and made another lap, falling
a second time. He was carried off
the field. Maloney quit in the six
teenth mile. Early in the seventeenth
mile Jungstrom started out to recover
his lap from Holmer and the real race
was on. Holmer by this time seemed
to be in distress and was continually
taking the sponge from his trainers,
while Jungstrom refused water and
smiled as he waved to the stands as
he ran. For two miles the pursuit
kept up but Holmer could not stand
the pace and in the nineteenth mile
dropped back and Jungstrom took the
lead.
For two more miles fIolrner plodded
along, dropping to third and then to
fourth and showing plainly he could
not last. At the end of the twenty
first mile, Holmer left the track and
had to be carried to his dressing
room.
