WINS THRILLING
VICTORY IN 1900 METRE RACE

The United States and Germany had
the honor of making a clean sweep in
the weight putting and 200 meters
swimming back stroke, respectively.
England won the greatest race of the
Olympic so far-the 1900 meters run.
in which the Oxonian Jackson broke
the record by more than six seconds
Finland won the 5000 meters In
splendid struggle against France,
while the Canadian Hodgson brought
glory to the dominion by his victory
in the 1900 meters swimming contest.
In which he hung up three records.
Two Thrilling Contests.
Perhaps never before have there
been two such contests the 5000
meter and 1900 meeter runs on the
same day. In the latter it was a
gruelling contest from start to finish.
Abel r. Kiviat and Normal s. Taber,
the American representatives, came in
to the stretch together. Jackson all
the way around the last lap went a 4
terrific pace. passing four men IN
order to get up with the leaders. With
Kiviat slightly in advance ten yards
from the tape, Jackson fairly leaped
ahead and fell exhausted into the arms
of his friends.
place between Kiviat and Taber the
photo Of the finish was developed be-
fore announcing the second and third
men.
Jackson was more exhausted when
he dropped to the grass after the race
than any competitor has been at this
meeting. He tainted, and doctors came
to his assistance and worked over him
for an hour before he gained strength
enough to stand. Kiviat ran up to
Jackson after the race and stretched
out his hand to shake, but Jackson
waved him OFF.
Too Tired to BE Congratulated.
Many of the spectators thought that
the refusal of Jackson to shake hands
was caused by bad feeling but Jack
son sent a message to the American
team afterwards saying that he did
not realize what he was doing because
he was tired out and that he would
call on the Americans to explain the
matter to them later. Matthew ]. Hal
pin. the American team manager. said
when he was told this: Its up to our
boys to call on him.
Jackson is exceedingly pale
youth of feet and II inches, and

The 5000 meters contest was prac-
tically a two man race between the
Finn Kolemainen and the Frenchm en-
Bouin. They finished 160 yards ahead
of Huston off England, who beat out

may truthfully say, Regents and Leg
islators come and go, but / go on
forever If a given legislature or a
given board OF regents is strong
enough to hold out against the en-
eroachments of the university, all
that is necessary is for it to wait until
a more propitious moment, when an
other advance may be made and held,
and SO on indefinitely.
If I am correct in this statement,
and do not see how anyone can view
it differently, there are only two
methods of ultimate escape from the
tyranny of an institution. One is for
the people of the state, once and for
all, to fix the metes and bounds for
the proper activity of the Institution,
and the other is for the university to
place limitations upon its own activi-
ties in accordance with sound political
philosophy. That the latter will be
done, / have not seen the slightest
indication. Every modern university
wants power, and it seeks self ag-
grandizement.
Yours respectfully,

1.-THE GIRL FROM RECTOR S.
Famous Farce Comedy Coming to the
Rhode Next Monday Night.

1t is doubtful if a play has been
seen IN this city in many years that
has attracted such wide attention as
that accorded 1.-THE Girl From Rec
tors The piece had its initial Of
fering in New Jersey and was brought
to Weber's music hall simply for
metropolitan tryout, but its success
was SO great it continued an uninter-
rupted run of three hundred nights
and played to the biggest business in
the history of the house. Critics de-
clare it is one of the few productions
of its sort ever made that carries with
it a high class plot and still contains
laugh in every line of the dialogue.
Paul NJ. Potter, the author of the work,
who was also responsible for "Trilby"
and many other celebrated stage sue
cesses, received more royalties from
The Gifl' last season than were paid
any other writer for a single work
in such short space of time.
"The story of "The Girl" is that
of young society woman of Battle
Greek, Mich, who is interested in every
charity there. For recreation, however,
she comes to New York and through
occasional visits to Rector IS earns the

Congressman Cooper Wants
Government to Pay Tri-
butte to Daring Trio.


Representative Henry Allen Cooper
of Racine, has introduced into congress
a bin appropriating $4,000 to aid in
the erection of monument at Della
field, Wis, to the memory of the Cush-
ing brothers-Alonzo Hersford Cush-
ing of the Fourth artillery, William
Barker Gushing Of the navy and How
ard Bass Cushing OF the Fourth
cavalry. The sailor Cushing Was the
one who at the risk Of his life per
formed the feat of blowing up the
Confederate ram Albermarle. The
army brothers served their country
with great distinction.
In his bill Mr.. Cooper says of the
Cushing brothers that they were "per-
haps the most eonspicuously daring
trio of sons of one mother of any
whose exploits have been noted in the
pages of history
1t is perhaps true what Mr.. Cooper
has written of the three Wisconsin
boys who went to the front IN the
time of the Unions need. They will
have a fitting monument in the state
which gave them birth. There is mem
ory, however, of four sons of one
mother, all of whom were killed in bat
tie for their country. 1t is not known
that they have monument in stone,
but a letter which was written by
Abraham Lincoln to the mother who
gave her sons to Death is a monument
that will be as lasting as any which
man or men can provide. a framed
copy of the letter hangs ON the wall
Of an English university, and under
meath it is written the word of one
of England S authorities that ii is per
baps the finest example of letter writ
ing in existence.
