STOCKHOLM, July 17.-Thousands
of persons visited the liner Finland
upon which the American athletes are
living during their stay in Stockholm
and showered congratulations upon
the victors of the International Olym-
pic games today. The heroes of the
hour were James Thorpe, the Car
isle Indian school athlete; Ten Mere
dith of the Mercersburg, Pennsylvania
academy; Little CASTOR Strebino, the
Patterson, n. J. marathoner; Charles
Reidpath, the speedy Syracuse uni
versity runner and Patrick Mcdonald,
the big New York policeman who
showed up so brilliantly in the weight
putting events. But these athletic con-
uuerors did not monopoliZe the hon.
ors. Those who are interested in swim
ming looked upon Duke kahanamoku,
the Hawaiian man-fish, as an ath-
lete as great as any other.
The Americans held a levee and the
liner flying the star spangled banner
was center of social activity through
out the day. Many of the American
spectators who had an opportunity to
greet "our boys" went out to the ship
to pay their respects. Many of the
other visitors We're foreigners who
looked with deep admiration upon the
brawny representatives of Uncle Sam.
Some athletes put in part of the day
seeing the sights of the city while
others made preparations to depart
for Dover. England. whence they sail
Sunday on the Naderland for New
York.

Whereupon Tech rooters arose
and inquired, What is this Cita-

We couldn't really say for sure.
Most of us in Atlanta presumed
that it was sort of a glorihed prep
school. with an odd name A glance
at the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic association year book for
1911, however. demonstrates that
the Citadel is a member Of that
organization and the S. / A A,
as its name indicates, is supposed
to be a college organization.
The annual enrolment of the
Citadel is from $50 to SEQ. From

RATE CASE ON
IN DENVER NOW

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. Oct. 10.-The Colorado
Consumers league coal rate case is
being heard in the district court be-
fore Judge Greeley Whitford. Al the
bottom of the fight is cheaper freight
rates from the Northern Colorado
coal fields TO Denver. For a 2O-mile
haul the Colorado and Southern and
the Union Pacific companies charge
soc a ton to Denver from the Louis
Vile district on lump coal and zoe
for mine-run coal. The railroad
commission ordered these railroads
TO reduce the tariff to soc and 40.
respectively. They refused to obey
the order and the consumers league
through the railroad commission,
carried the case to the courts. The
issues have been threshed out in both
the state supreme court and district
courts, and in each insance the de-
cision was favorable to the ruling
of the railroad commission. The
railroads not satisfied with the re-
suits. again appealed to the district
court, where the evidence is now be-
ing introduced
The railroads are fighting against
the reduction of coal tariffs, declar-
ing that the act creating the state
railroad commission was Illegal and
hat therefore any ruling of that body
could have no legal standing in
court. On this contention the roads
have continued to disregard the COM
mission ruling reduce the rates.
The general belief here is that
the railroads will lose the fight they
are putting up and that they will be
forced to rebate consumers who have
paid to them during the past two
years since which time the order of
the state railroad commission was
entered, something like a half mill
ion dollars. In case the district court
decision is favorable to the consum-
ers' league suit will at once be en-
tered against the Colorado and
Southern and the Union Pacific for
the refund of 100000.
