Book Review

| Now that the public and the ath
letes are becoming interested in all
matters pertaining to the forth com.
ing Olympic Games in Stockholm,
Sweden, Spalding's Oficia Athletic
Almanac viii be found doubly interest
ing, containing as it does a diagram
| of the Stadium in which the contests
will take place, complete list of the
Olympic Games winners since 1896
and records of the Swedish, Hungar-
ian. Austrian, German, Belgian, Eng
ish, Italian, Dutch, French, Finnish
and other foreign athletes. 1t also de-
votes liberal space to International
meets from which comparisons can
be made.
The Almanac probably records
more interesting items in connection
with athletics than any other book
ever published. The editor Of the
book shows by comparison that the
schoolboys of today could have won
United States in 1876, better time hav.
ing been made in every instance. BY
reference to this book 1t will be found
that number of records have stood
for thirty or more years. Notably
among these are the 100 yards hurdle
race record, IA IL seconds, five
flights, three feet six inches hibh,
made by J. C. Austin, Worceste,
Mass, November 3, 1874, and that of
T. H. Armstrong of New York, of 4
minutes 40 IL seconds for the three
quarter mile walk made October rs,
1877. E. E. Merrill of Boston. holds
the six and seven-mile warking record
made in 1880. Another old record
which was made by man still pop
ular in athletics, who attends all i'm.
portant meetings regularly when in
the United States, and who was at one
time Captain of the New York A. c.,
is that of Is As seconds for ESQ yards
run made by c. H. Sheriff., now Min
lister for the United States to the
Argentine Republic( in June, 1883.
The Spalding official Athletic AL.
manac abounds with many incidents
of this character. 1t also contains
fine half-tone pictures of the most
noted athletes of the day as we'll as
all the records up to January, 1911. 1t
will be sent to any address, in the
United States or Canada by the pub
fishers, the American Sports Publish
ing Company, 81 Warren Street, New |

MANY new EXCHANGES

GALS MAKE TOUR OVER
MOTT LINE.
Will Build Number of Local Exchanges
and Extend their Copper Line Thru
to New England.

District Manager F.. l.. Shuman has
returned to Bismarck from a trip
which he took through the southeast
ern part of the state in company with
General Manager l.. D. Richardson OF
the North Dakota Telephone COM
pany. They were looking over the
coalitions in that section of the coun.
try with view of determining how
to give the best telephone facilities.
At New England they found that
there was no exchange, and they de-
cided to put in one there, as we'll as
at other towns along the new line of
the Northern Pacific. 1t is expected
that work on the Nv~ England ex-
change viii be started within the en-
suing two weeks.
The company had originally decid-
ed to run a copper wire from Bis
marck to Mott, but after the trip of
investigation the officials decided to
run it through to New England.
Mr.. Richardson is still spending sew
eral days in that section of the state
and he will probably decide upon sew
eral other new locations for exchanges
and improvements in the service.

Three times twenty senators de-
clared their belief that the Judge was
guilty, and five other times there
were twenty-one votes for guilty.
One specification showed ballot of
twenty-five for guilty, and one other
specification twenty-three votes for
conviction. The latter was the high
est record of votes against the Judge.
On seventy-two of the specifications
there. was total vote cast for guilty
of 1856, or an average vote for con-
viction Of IL for each specification.
This was only about one-third of
what was actually required.

Homes Makes Address.

Homnes Makes Address.
In the addresses that were deliver
ed following the conclusion af the
business, one was by George Homes,
chairman of the board of managers
He declared that he and the other
members of the board, in the prosecu-
ton of this case, had merely perform
ed duty that had been placed upon
their shoulders by the sister house;
they held no personal feeling toward
| the accused, and he disclaimed re-
sponsibility for having taken any part
in movement outside of the court to
bring about conviction.
1t is interesting to note how many
of the senators voted against Judge
Cowan during the balloting on the
separate specifications Thursday az
ternoon. A two-thirds vote of the
senate which was required to convict
required 80 senators to vote guilty in
order that the judge be impeached.
The majority in favor Of acquittal,
however, is very apparent from glanc-
ing over the following table.
There were seven specifications on
which there was not single vote for
guilty.
There were four specifications on
which only one vote for guilty was
recorded.
There were two specifications on
which two votes for guilty were cast
and the same number on which three
senators voted guilty.
There was one specification on
which four senators voted for guilty.
There were two specifications on
which the vote for guilty stood at
six; two others on which seven votes
for guilty were cast, and two more on
which eight Of the members of the
senate voted guilty.
On one specification ten senators
voted guilty and on four others there
were eleven who voted guilty.
Three specifications resulted in
twelve votes for guilty being record
ed, and thirteen votes were recorded
for guilty on six other specifications.
Three specifications showed bal
lot OF fourteen for guilt, and four
resulted in vote Of fifteen for guilty.
Sixteen senators voted for guilt on
three occasions, and on three other !!
specifications there were seventeen
votes cast for guilty.
Twelve specifications resulted in
eighteen vcotes for conviction, and on

TO The Ftitc o THE Evening Star:
Allow me to congratulate the STAR
upon its enterprise in running anoth r
proverb contest, beginning tomorrow.
1t is wonderful to see what valuable
prizes are offered as a reward for a
little patient browsing in the field of
letters. Even the person who wins
nothing in { material way will gain a
whole lot in a contest of this kind,
according to my way of thinking. The
great lessons of patience and persist
ence are surely worth much, and Their
see, Mr.. Editor. what a good thing it is
for young n old to have the proverbs
wildly impressed on the mind! I am
sure that the fortunate ones who cap
ture the big prizes will be able ever
afterward to recall every one of the
proverbs in which they We're interested.
The circumstances under which tn Sc
prizes are offered will surely make the
proverbs stick even In a memory that
1t apt TO be tickle.
As I'VE live to learn" so 1t is pleasant
to recall old friends in the form u a
pregnant sentence hat may have
