Marks in Relay Races,

NEW YORK. April 16..-The swimming
team OF the New York Athletic Club,
captained by joe Ruddy, broke train
ing yesterday after long and success
full indoor season. The swimmers will
take rest before getting into shape for
the summer. All the men on the team
have been going at such a smart clip
that 1t was decided yesterday to make
one final attack on the record book before
finishing up the season.
AN interested crowd of more than two
hundred spectators witnessed the per-
Torrance in the large pool at the club
house, and corps of experienced timers
and officials of the Amateur Athletic
Union were collected to watch the events

more. But Daniels went after the lUO-
meter record held by Zoltsn de Holmay
OF Austria. LOS 10. Daniels beat de Hol-
may In the 1O0-meter event at the last
Olympic games in London, but he did
not better the Austrians record at that
time.
Daniels, swimming In as fine form as
he ever showed. accomplished what he
was after, and his mark for the 100 me-
tiers was 1.02 40. Loud cheers greeted
this Accomplishment, and the swimmer
received a warm ovation after he came
dripping out Of the pool.
Then the clubs relay team consisting
Of c. n. Daniels. George South. c. Trti-
benaoh, N. Nerich. Bud Goodwin and
Capt Joe" Ruddy. set out to make
new marks In the 200 and 300 yard re-
lays. Daniels. South, Trubenbach and
Nerich were the four men in the 2o6- yard
relay. and they established a new record
for the distance. Las. The old mark was
1.48 LIS. This quartet, together with Rud-
dy and Goodwin, made up the 800 yard
relay squad, aud they swan as they
never SWAN before. cutting through the
water like ffsh. Their time was 2.42 Is
and the old mark was 2.4S 1-5
The timers were Robert Stone. Harry

ARE AFTER S|BLY ISLAND
State Board of Game and Fish Con.
troll Would Like the Island for
State Game Preserve

Thomas Griffiths is at Fargo today,
where he is attending meeting of the
state board of game and fish. control
The proposition relative to setting
aside Sibley island in the Missouri
river as state game and fish pre-
serve is one of the mates to be
considered by the board and it is
not unlikely that some action of a
definite nature will be taken with ref
erence to the matter, which has been
under consideration for some time.
The board recently met at Bis
marck and the matter was brought
up. At that time the Bismarck COM
missioners, who have 99-year lease
on the island from the federal govern
ment, seemed to favor the proposition
of turning the island over to the game
board. The island is located in the
Missouri river just south of the city
of Bismarck and Is an ideal location
for the game preserve.

against woman suffrage would not
be listened to for single minute IL
applied to male voters.
There is no doubt that the country
needs the vote Of women. am
thoroughly in favor of any movement
which will give women an opportuni-
ty to do little civic housekeeping,
for there Is much to be done that wo-
man can do better than men. While
woman's authority has been felt in all
of the various avenues of our lives, it
has been authority without respon-
sibility-and that is demoralizing to
any nation. Influence without res
possibility is corrupt factor in leg
islatfon and no nation can rest secure
with this fault in its structure.
In bringing the mothers vote into
our political life we secure assistance
Of progressive force full of en-
couragement for the future of our
state. The mother will consider far
more than the father the morality of
the man in Office who will make and
enforce the laws under which her
children will live. and she will use
her influence and her vote to secure
the best sort Of Office holder for the
municiple good"
Would Bar Saloons.
In support Of her claims that woman
suffrage means the solution Of the
temperance problem Mrs. Patten gave
very convincing evidence in the fol-
lowing words:
"The National Liquor Dealers as
ISOLATION passed this resolution, that
we oppose equal suffrage everywhere,
for the ballot in the hands of women
will prove the death blow to our bust
ness
IF no other reason can be given
why we ask the ballot, this should be
an all-suff1cient reason why every
mother who loves her child and every
patriot who loves his country, should
unite their efforts to remove the handi-
cap that holds back the mothers hand
from the ballot box of the republic.
MANY temperance reformers de-
clare that we will never see victory
until women have the ballot. The
reason why the women of today are
asking for equal rights and oppor-
tunities for their sex are too many to
be given at this time, but, first would
to man, it is worth just as much to
a woman and for the same reasons.
If by the ballot man can best protect
his interests, SO can woman.
at will assuredly prove the best
weapon Of protection, and in that
alone lies our power to execute our
wish and our will.
II want the ballot because my whole
nature rises in indignant protest
against the unjust discrimination
which debars Intelligent American
women from any participation in the
administration of its government, and
leaves them defenseless before the
law, while it welcomes 10 the place
Of power the scum of every nation
except China and allows it to dictate
a system that let's the vices loose, to
prey upon all we most love and prize.
and l say with the Rev. Anna Shaw,
that noble champion of our cause, that
any nation that ties the hands of it's
motherhood and then licenses saloons
to rob her Of her dearest and best,
ought to be ashamed to unfurl the flag
Of liberty"
