w. S. PORTER DEAD.
Best Known as 80. Henry" Writer OF
Short Stories.

New York. June 5.--William Sydney
Porter, known best under his pen name
OF 20. Henry" writer Of short stories,
died today at Polytechnic hospital. He
underwent an operation last Friday and
never rallied The nature OF his al
ment was not made known. Mrs Por-
ter, who had been In South Carolina,
was summoned by telegraph, but did
not arrive here until after her hus-
bands death.
Mr. Porter was born In Greensboro.
n, C., ~ years ago, and began his jour
nalistic career on the Houston Post.
Before that he had been cowboy, sheep
herder and druggist. and an active
traveller. The general public knew little
of his private life. for he Stunned in
reviewers and was content TO be
known merely through his writings as
30. Henry" His breezy paragraphs
penned in Texas first drew attention to
the young writer several years ago.
Then he launched forth with Sunday
stories for a New York paper. and was
quickly recognized as a writer Of abil-
ity.
Magazine stories followed and his
fame was assured II was only two
years however. that any but his closest
friends knew his real name. Then he
reluctantly consented to have his photo
graph printed, with a brief biographical
sketch He had been in poor health for
some time. but Il was not thought his
illness was serious. Wednesday he
dined with friends and seemed In his
usual spirits Friday night he was
taken i'll and removed to the hospital
A minor operation was performed and
up to within an hour of his death today
Il was thought he would recover.
Dcrangement OF both liver and kid
neys, however. proved more deep seated
than had been thought. and he sank
rapidly. The burial will be at Asfe-
Vile N c.

INJUNCTION AND
SPECULATION
Dealings Largely Based on Ex-
pected Advance in Freight
Rates in West.
COURTS ORDER STOPPED 1T
IL Is Claimed That the sale of Rail-
way Bonds In Europe Was Due To
Prospective Advance.

New York. June 5.--The obtaining by
the attorney general OF an injunction
against the proposed increase in west
ern trunk line freight rates last week
had the effect OF throwing the stock
market into CONSERVATION.
The complaints OF high cost OF living
from all quarters have been as clamor-
Gus from the railroads as from any
Others, and the recent advances in
wages have been used as a text on
which to base claims for increased
compensation.
Speculation in stocks has been based
on expected benefits Of rate advances
ever since notice of the intended in
creases We're nrst filed with the inter-
state commerce commission In April
IL Is claimed also that the sales of
railroad bonds abroad were due to the
prospect of these higher freight charges
and that other sales will be prevented.
Rumors Of cancellation OF orders for
railway cqu. pment and OF laying off
Of railroad employees show the direction
In which other disadvantages were ex-
pected. The sensation caused by the
rate injunction proceedings obscured
for a time the supreme court decisions
In the Missouri river and the Denver
rate cases, but railroad men held that
the power thus affirmed for the COM
merCe commission to fix the rates af-
fected threatened a revolution In pres
ent methods Of apportioning charges
The effect caused by the rate injunc-
ton was due, partly, to the fact that
IL marked the elimination of various
factors of reaction which had been
gathering force. The halt I'm trade ac-
tivity, owing to the uncertain period
for crops. had come into view and the
downward course OF iron prices had not
eliminated, In spite OF the heavy cur
tailment OF output.
The approach Of the harvest conferred
attention on the money situation and
pointed TO the necessity of credit con-
traction TO prepare for the coming de-
mands 10 move the crops.
Liquidation, not only in stocks, but
in grain and cotton. was prompted by
those prospective requirements as much
as by apprehension Of fall In intrinsic
values.
Liquidation I'm commodities found an
incentive as well in the improving
promise of crops. Backwardness of
spring wheat and corn has not impaired
confidence in the ultimate abundant
yield.
The basic importance of the good
crop prospect helped to give the stock
lower stages OF the price movement.
The abrupt decline carried prices head
long 10 the lowest level of the year for
the leading railroad stocks and this
fact, also was held to be significant
of the extent to which unfavorable fac
tors In the outlook had been already
discounted.

ACCUSES TRANSLAT0RS
OF CREATING HELL

ST. Louis. June 6.-"Hell and It's tor

of the Bible into English. There Is no
warrant In the Scriptures for any be-
lief for a fate OF endless torture for
the wicked; and the great cruel DOGGY
OF fire and birthstone preached today
from thousands of pulpits has not done
one particle OF good, preventive or
otherwise and has wrought much
harm, especially in the form Of causing
infidelity and insanity"
These were the statements made yes
friday afternoon before a large audi
ence by the Rev. II. H. Barton OF
Brooklyn, during his address which
was called who Created Hell?'
The speaker bitterly attacked those
members OF the ministry who preach
the traditional theory Of fiery here
after to be dealt out to the wicked for
their own acts on earth.
'How can they pretend to love God
and yet depict him ms such monster"
asked the speaker, I'VE would not be
30 cruel as they declare he Is, and
yet certainly we must be far inferior
to the God who created us.
Tn my opinion such doctrine is
blasphemous and wicked"

Holmer Makes
Athletic Path
Canadian Champion Picked His Ideas
from a Book and Then
Ran.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Some of our best
athletes have been brought to the front by
constant training and coaching. while
others take the jump from obscurity into
the limelight without the slightest possi-
BILE idea of what 1t means to be drilled in
their chosen speciality. They belong to the
great minority class-the class of eXcep-
lions.
OF all the men who nave gained fame in
athletics without more han their natural
abilities to rely upon Hans Holmer, the
Canadian champion Marathoner and holder
of the professional record for the long
route, is the most striking example now
before the public. .
Holmer has never been Systematically
trained or shown n OF the fine points
of the running game. A little over two
years ago, while serving in the Canadian
army, he CHANGED upon a book on the
shelves of the barracks library. 1t was a
treatise on running by George Orton, the
old University OF Pennsylvania star runner.
In 1896 orion won the French steeplechase
championship. Seventeen championships
were won by him before he was defeated
in 1902 by Newton. No wonder his book is
a splendid guide to the undeveloped runner.
Two years ago 1 was a bit of a kid,
you know" said Hans. when questioned
as to how he started running. cone day
1 was chasing a couple OF the boys through
the gymnasium connected with the post.
We went up and down the front and back
stairs on the jump. They had a jolly good
start on me, but seeing the way l was
gaining on them they went out of one OF
the doors. I knew they thought they'd
lose me over the rough. hilly ground in the
rear OF the building, but l could go a BIT
in the country and l got 'em both.
THAT gave me the idea that / was ever
a better runner than some of the full
grown men who were getting away with
medals at the regimental games and
found George Orton's book that night. II,
was a wonderful all-round runner, and
picked up a lot of good ideas out of thai
book. ] started running short and middl,
distances. with the idea that a large maj
should not so I'm for the longer runs. al
though l was good at them The first rae,
l ever won was in a match with a goot
quarter miller and / had bet every penn,
l had in the world I'D win.
'T've never had any one tell me how I,
run, and guess there's no reason why
should be pestered with advice now.
always could run as fast as l can now an,
It came to me naturally, Some fellow
can be taught how 10 run or jump or d,
most anything, but some lust don't nee,
10 be shown a thing"
Holmer is very proud OF his. Sharkey- Xix
chest and his powerful legs. He is bull
for most any athletic sport. When he VOL

stead of saving his wind he INDUCED in tn
