NEW YORK, Sept. IA hundred
yards in nine seconds flat! This is
the feat timers and witnesses say
Richard Perry Williams, physical
director and coach Of the Berkeley
school, New York, accomplished at
New Lyme, Mass. late in August.
A hundred yards in nine seconds!
If Williams actually sprinted the
distance In that time he reached a
goal which clenched fists, pounding
hearts, bursting lungs, spring steel
muscles and iron determinations
have struggled for in vain since the
days of the Greeks.
Williams clipped three-fifths of a
second off the official A. A. u. 100
yard sprint record made by Dan j.
Kelly at Spokane, Wash, June %,
1906
Three-fifths of second! What
is that? The culver of an eyelash,
the twinkling of a star, a heartbeat,
the flutter of a birds wing But
it's a great deal.
Let Williams and Kelly race 100
yards, each running the distance In
his own best time. Kelly in 8 3-5
seconds, Williams in 8 flat. Both
runners leap into the air at the
crack OF the pistol. They come down
the stretch blurred by their speed

But Williams breaks the tape
when Kelly has still Is feet 8 inches
to go-half the width of a city lot.
That's what heart beat. three
fifths of second, is in the 100 yard
dash.
Williams had to cross 23 feet 4
inches each time a watch's second
had moved.
Williams made the record In the
presence Of small gallery of Pine
Grove, Mass, summer residents on
the track at the state camp grounds.
Two men with stop watches caught
the time at nine seconds flat. The
watches agreed, The track is level
and straight. No wind was blowing.
The A. A. u. will not accept the
record, made unofficially as II was.
Later, at some OF the authorized
meets, Williams will be given the
opportunity to run an official 100
yards. He is confident of making
the official record, for he claims to
have run the hundred in 8 Is sew

claims to have lowered other sprint.

IRON MAN "WALKS"
TO WORK AND BACK

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Charles
Guest Norris, an English engineer,
is over here with a new iron man"
which he has invented
He calls it an Iron man" because
it can walk" 1t is said to be a
great invention. but aside from
walking, it has no resemblance to
man.
1t will walk around the corner
with a dozen tons of tools and ma
chinery. 1t has four legs, and will
walk in water as well as on ground.
When stationary, the back forms a
level platform from which work
may be done.
The walking" is accomplished
by two frameworks, one within the
other, each having four legs. One
frame slide forward and the legs are
lowered. Then the legs of the other
frame are lifted up and that other
frame, or platform, slides forward
and the legs rest again 90 the
ground. And so. ad infinitum.

officer Murphy received a call from
the Cottage Hotel yesterday after
noon, and when he arrived he was
informed that some of the lady guests
had lodged complaints of the loss Of
articles of wearing apparel. Murphy
was first taken to the room of Miss
Hyde-Wright, and was there informed
by that lady that she had been rob-
bed of a black silk dress skirt and
SIS in gold. Next he went to the
room occupied by Mrs. ]. Harding,
of Glendale, and her sister, Mrs. Al.
Misler, of Woodburn, guests of the
Cherry Fair, who informed him that
they had missed a long black chiffon
broRdcloth coat and a black broad
cloth dress. Officer Murphy began to
'smell a mousse" literally speaking,
and returned to Miss Hyde's room,
where he put to her a siege of ques-
mistakable signs of nervousness and
unrest, which led him to make a
search of the apartments, the woman
aiding in the search with the result
that he uncovered the missing dress
underneath "a pile of bed clothing,
and other articles in closet, and the
coat carefully concealed beneath and
behind a wardrobe Miss Hyde at
first expressed surprise, and seemed
mystified as to how the garments had
found their way into her room, but
she finally confessed to officer MUIR

thought she could raise a piece Of

She said she comes from Portland,

but it is believed that she, although
