SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 12.-The In
dustrial Workers tried to hold street
meeting this morning, but Mrs. Laura
P. Emerson, who has been active in

her from her improvised rostrum.
Meanwhile other policemen kept the
crowd moving. In few moments the
attempted demonstration was at an

Lord Kitchener has not been quite a

thousand srownups who had searched
for a long time in vain stood by and

that was just the BEGINNING Of an even
ing OF unique entertainment provided
for the youngsters by the park de-
partment.
The children started their search
while it was still daylight, but there
were no fairies. Finally they tired,
and just at twilight they sat down to
wait and watch. Hardly were they
seated when. with a blare of trumpets
10000 colored electric lights shone
through the trees. and the fairy king
and queen appeared in their royal
chariot. followed by dancing girls
Then the children were invited to
Fairyland. where dances of many va
reties were ggiven. There were other
features, and a church lunch was
served.

been able to stop strikes. and with the

Now have come Hanley and Crewe, and
the opportunity 10 assert independence
and attack the liberals. Capitalism is
held up to odium. and Lloyd George is
gibbeted with Bonar Law. But II Is
unlikely that critical divisions will be
taken during the sham fight, and no
government defeat will occur.
Mr. MacDonalds greatest danger is
not that labor shall turn on liberalism.
but that liberalism shall tire of Mac
Donald laborism. That would be the
end. 1t is certain that the government
program cannot possibly be carried out
before a general election. Ii the cleo
ton takes place with the reform bill,
and with the growing dislike of the in
surane act, and IL liberal associations
refuse their support to labor candidates.

Keeps Lloyd George in Power.

His first business has been to keep
Lloyd George in power. The liberalization
alliance has been denied. but the denial
has been made with the tongue in the
cheek Mr.. Macdonald has made
speeches denouncing the government and
all it's works before this Hanley cleo
ton. but these speeches have been &C
companied by obedient following of the
government whips. His present speeches
need not be taken too seriously.
The fact Is that ii the liberals take up a
definitely hostile attitude TO the labor
party. ii must lose half its seats includ-
ing the seat AT Leicester. which Is held
by Mr. Macdonald himself.
Il cannot be contended that the Ing
fish working man is particularly keen
about either horne rule of disestabiish-
is the price Mr.. Macdonald has received
for the support of his followers to the
first two measures. / do not Oelleve
that the exclusion of women VIII really
induce the labor party to vote against
the reform bill, for if it be passed u
will largely free them from the neces-
sity OF the liberal alliance.
Never in history has politician Gre
ated a party and brought it almost into
sight of power within so short time.
and now the whole thing is threatened
with destruction.
The real workingman is impatient or
politics. He has no great enthusiasm
for the labor party. He cares nothing
1T all for the fact that Mr. Macdonald
may possibly be prime minister ne
just wants more wages. and TO OBTAIN
more wages he has gone back 10 the
old weapon of the strike.

Should Penalize False Starts.

Another rule which needs to be changed
is that Of TO penalty for a false start.
In America and England every false start
is penalized, and for the third olfense the
| runner is disqualified. The Olympic rule
makes no provision for penalties. If the
starter fires the gun It is a start. or at
least il has been until. this year. The
Swedes interpreted the rule to mean that
the start should go fair" in other words
that the starter might recall the men with
whistle II some one beat the gun.
Knowing that they would not be penaliz-
ed. the runners broke continually and ii
required forty-iive minutes to run one of
the semi-f1nal heats in the 100 meters. In
some of the other races the starter tried
to outguess the runners by giving. them
the quick gun. This was unfair, al
though. perhaps. necessary under the
circumstances, for frequently d runner
lost a yard. In the 100 meters, Craig.
the winner, was last off the marx, and in
the 11O-meter hurdles Hawkins beat the
gun by a yard.
Another feature connected with the 900
meters deserves comment. Possibly on
account of the accident between Young
and Braun. the final heat was run in
strings. There can be no two opinions
about the statement that such a race is
unfair, because it fayors the man who
draws the pole. Running the race in
strings means that every man has a diff
ferent starting point. and it is unfair for
two reasons First. only the man who
draws the pole knows anything about the
positions of his opponents. The others
don't know where they are until all the
men hit the home stretch. Furthermore
with the exception of the man on the
pole. the outside runners are obliged -
run at an angle with which they are I'M
familiar.
Both the 200 and 4Oe meter runs here
We're run around curve and in strings
The point is made that to be absolutely
fair the 200 meters should be run on
straightaway track and that the 100
meters should be run a track with but
two turns and long stretches for the
start and finish The Stockholm track is
less than 400 meters in circumference, so
that the 200 meters had two turns and
the 400 meters four turns, and a very
short run to the first turn. 1t is for
these reasons that those who want uni
form rules and conditions demand that
the Olympic council insist upon a stan
dard track as well as standard events
and rules.
Finally the foreign athletes arc dissatis-
fled over the freak events. which the
home country puts on the program, many

Olympics to Be Differently
Run in 1916.
WANT STANDARD EVENTS
Countries Dissatisfied With Manner
of Putting Special Events
J. on Program.
BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL.

STOCkHOLN. Sweden. July 25.-Al-
though the Olympic games of 1917 were
conducted without friction, and under
competent management. the sixth Oiym-
riad, at Berlin. In 1916, will be held
under entirely different conditions. For
the first time in modern Olympic his
tory there will be a standard list of
events with uniform rules. so that every
country will know precisely for what
It, must train and what will be the govern
ing rules.
During the 1912 games there was a
conference of the athletic authorities
of all the countries represented at Stock
holm for the purpose of thoroughly dis
cussing the needs of Olympic athletics,
and in particular to agree npon set
OF events and rules for the same. vt
the meeting of the international Olympic
council called for Paris in 1si4. the
suggestion of these experts will be con-
sidered in detail and official action taken
to have them ready Cor the Berlin
games, four years hence,
The lack of a standard set CT events
ana rules has always led to some I'M
plea santness This is due to the fact
that the country managing the games
has been permitted TO select both the
events for competition and tile rules
This must lead to some friction. At the
Paris games in 1900. the French ccm-
mlttee drew sharp criticism ur0n itself
for insisting upon Sunday games. after
having promised tho American commit
tee that there would he none. Inasmuch
as many of the American athletes had
been forbidden by their colleges or clubs
to compete Sunday, tho French in this
way took a most unfair advantage of
the Americans.
At London. in 1908. there was fric-
ton between the United States and
England IN two events. the 400 meters
and the marathon run. In both cases
the trouble originated in the lack of
uniform Olympic rules and non-partisan
officials
