duke BROKE
2 RECORDS
in ONE DAY
But Foreign Athletes Contested
His Right to Represent the
United States

With the arrival OF the mainland pa
pers. containing the full results of the
Olympic games, II develops that Duke
Kahanamoku has been doing even bet
ter work al Stockholm than was known
here. Not only once, but twice in one
day did he swim the 100 meters in
worlds record time. To have turned
the trick once would have been glory
enough, but 10 be called on for the
supreme effort twice in succession, and
that all Hawaii can be proud OF.
The question of Dukes right to rep
resent the United States came up,
though how such an absurd conten-
ton could have been preached is a
mystery: as Kahanamoku is just as
much an American as any other ath-
lete on the team.
Following Is brief account of
Dukes doings. taken from the San
Francisco Call OF July and 10:

Duke Kahanamoku. Hawaii, estab-
lished a worlds record of / minute

three the words: Provided, how
ever, that the provision of this act
shall not apply to such liquors pre-
scribed on prescription from a reg
ular practicing physician" The
amendments were adopted.
In previous dispatches it was
not intended that any reflection
should be made upon the chief en-
rolling clerk Of the Senate. In fact,
several enrolling clerks were en-
ployed at the close of the session.
However, it is now shown that none
of these clerks made the mistake
which was charged by the superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League
here last week.
In a dispatch from Frankfort on
Thursday in which il was stated
that the bill had been mutilated the
purpose was to show that the chief
enrolling clerk was not at fault.
This purpose may have been cloud
ed at the time.

Frankfort, Ky, Aug. When
asked about the probability of the
calling of an extra session of the
Legislature on account of the fnan-
cial condition of the State. Gov.
McCreary simply said:
IL have not considered the mat
ter at ALL"
Auditor Henry Bosworth said :
81 have not discussed the matter of
an extra session with any one and
the Governor has not advised with
me about 1t in any way. so that the
rumor that have conferred about
II with any one is absolutely with
out foundation"
Secretary of State S. +. Crecelius
said: II know nothing about the
matter, and therefore have nothing
to say" - ss
The condition of the State treas
ury has been known to all public
men for months, and the present
deficit was made certain last De-
cember. when the Republican ad-
ministration paid off over million
dollars of debts that had been ac-
cumulating for four years and paid
it out of the revenue of 1911.

Bell County Murderer is
ElectrOcuted.
COMMITTED AN AWFUL CRIME
Slew Matthew Jones and Mrs.
DulCie Partin Year Ago
In Cold Blood.
AFFIRMED BY HIGHER COURT

Eddyyille, KY, Aug. 3O.-Elec-
tricity legally snapped out the life
of Cal Miracle, the Bell county
murderer, at sunrise this morning,
who paid the death penalty for the
murder of a man and woman in
Bell county about one year ago
The execution had no extraordinary
features. 1t was in charge of War
den HTgerman, Electrician G. f.
Collins and Capt. Jim Black.
The crime for which Miracle paid
the life penalty was one of the
worst in the criminal annals of Bell
county. On a quiet Sunday after
noon in August of last year, he
went 70 the home OF Matthew
Jones, on Goodin branch, Il neigh
Dor, and without provocatlon shot
him TO death. His thirst for gore
not having yet been satisfied, he
then shot, in cold blood, a helpless
woman-Mrs. Dulcie Partin, whom
he met in the road, after leaving
Jones' home. '~---
After killing these persons, Mir
acle went to his home, told his fam
lily what he had done, babe them
goodbye and left. For several
weeks after the crime it was believ-
ed that Miracle was hiding out in
the mountains near his home, and
his family was kept under surveil-
lance, but no trace of him could be
found. Many believed that he had
made good his escape. 90.
On Tuesday, November 2S, a tel
egram was received by Sheriff Van
Bever, of Bell county, from the
Chief of Police of Birmingham,
Ala, stating that he had Miracle
under arrest. Doubt as TO the right
man being in custody was dispelled
when later a message was received
from ]. L. Givens, formerly OF Mid !
dlesboro, who knew Miracle, stat
ing that the double murderer had
been arrested. Later news brought
the fact that Miracle, while in the
depot at Birmingham buying a
ticket for point farther South, /
was recognized by Owens, who Sc, !,
cured his arrest. eS'~
Sheriff Van Rever went to Biz
mingham and brought his prisoner
TO Pineville. Miracle was tried at
the December term of court, which
was in session, he having previous
y been indicted, for the murder of
Mrs. Dulcie Partin; and the jury
after being out only a few minutes.
'eturned verdict fixing Miracles
at death.
Judge Davis set March 20 of this
ear as the date of his execution.
tut granted a stay of sixty days to
nable his attorneys 70 carry the
ase to the Court of Appeals, which

after sentence was .
