AMERICANS LOST
 DISCUS THROW Was Biggest Disappoint- ment to U. S. Team at
 Olympiad. YOUNG RULED OUT
YOUNG RULED OUT
Officials Were Unfair in Disqualifying American in Semf.Tinal
 of 400 Metre Run.
lBy Michael J. Murphy)

tOfficial trainer of American Olympic Team
 StCckholm, July 12.-Splendid in deed was today s showing mad the United States in the Olympic games. Yet in justice to America I emphati- cally declare myself that our country suffered unjustly through the actions of the Swedish officials in disqua lify- ing Donald J. Young after he had fair ly beaten Braun, Of Germany, in a semi-final heat of the 400 metre run.
 Ira N. Davenport, of Chicago, might have finished second to Young had he cared to make the effort. It is too bad that he did not do his level best un- der the circumstances. For had he beaten Braun the heat would have had to be run over. But as it is Braun is not worrying me greatly. Really l cannot see where he has a chance in the final. Anyone of our men is like ly to win it.
 was not at all surprised in the re- suit of the no metre hurdle which Fred w. Kelly, of California, won.
 Taitale, Finn, beat us fairly in the discus throw.
 Ebert l.. Gutterson, of Vermont, proved himself the greatest broad Jumper in the world but did not create worlds record.
 Our men worked harder than was necessary to beat out Finland In the 3 .OOO metre team race. The Films at best were a one-man array.
 In addition to all this the omteo States finished second and third Tn the discus. fifth in the modern pentathlon and won places in many of the other events the finals of which are to De decided later.
 The outcome of the discus however, was a keen disappointment to most Of the American team who thought It would be a walk-over for Duncan.

One Killed and Three Injur- ed On Street Gar in Mem
 phis Yesterday.
MEN TRAMPLE WOMEN
Car Crew Tries in Vain to Stop the Mad Rush From the Supposed
 Danger That Threatened.

Memphis, Tenn., July 12.--One ne- gro woman was killed, three white women were seriously injured and five others, including two unidentified negro women, were badly bruised and cut when the blowing out of fuse in a street car caused panic among the passengers here today.
 Maude Shepherd, negro, damned against the gates, catapulted through them when the struggling dozen or more men behind her caused the gates to break Her neck was broken.
 Mrs. Robert Mitchell, wife of St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad conductor, was trampled by the struggling men, receiving painful cuts and bruises, besides internal in- juries the nature of which have not been determined.
 Mrs. Sarah Blythe and Miss Georgia Blythe, 15, received internal injuries, contusions about the head and severe bruises.
 Mrs. Julia Funk received internal injuries.
 The conductor and motorman tried in vain to quell the panic, but the men in the car, according to witt nesses, acted as if wild with fright. Women were dashed aside or crowded against the negroes near the gates With such force that the gates turst open and the men literally walked upon the forms of the women in their mad rush from supposed danger. One white woman carrying an infant prob ably owes her life to her falling upon the body of the negress who was kill ed. Hastily examining the baby and finding herself practically unhurt, she darted away through the fast assemb- ling crowd and boarded another car. The accident occurred near the busi- ness section.

'L0R|MER ATTACKS
 SENATOR KERN Challenges Indiana Man to Point Out Any Wrong
 doing.
BECAME EXHAUSTED
Senate Took Recess Twice in Order to Allow Condemned Man to Re.
 'ive-May Vote Today.

Washington, July 13-Fore more than five hours today Senator Lori mer spoke in defense of his right to a seat Ill the Senate. At 1 o'clock a short recess was taken to afford the, Senator relief and at f clock he be- came entirely exhausted and the Se- nate again took a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Senator Lorsmer then will resume his remarks and it is believed vote will be reached late tomorrow afternoon.
 Senator lLCrimer again spoke to the crowded galleries of the Senate The Senator who yesterday assalled the newspaper tlust," of Chicago, today tcck up the evidence in the case and made reply to the minority report. At times he bitterly assailed Senator Kern who made the principal speech against him and pleaded with sena- tors to read the record of the case which he maintained contained no evidence in support of the charges against him. He expects to conclude in about two hours tomorrow.
 The attack on Senator Kern who has fought Lorimer most actively, was sensational and peculiar. 1tzwas unprecedented in the history efsathe Senate. Lorimer sneered at him,s sfeer- ed dsshinf,,r taunted him. and. challenged him publicly to point to any wrong do'ngs in his life.
 Come on," shouted Lorimer, per- spiration streaming from his face. Come on, Senator Kern, come on and make good"
 He screamed this defiance until his voice broke. And all the time Lori- mer was delivering th's against flim, Senator Kern lay ill on a couch in his room in the Senate office build ing, unconscious of the scorn that was being heaped upon him by the man who was "put over" at a cost of $100,000.
 When later, he was informed of it, Senator Kern gathered his strength and made his way into the Senate chamber where he took a seat directly in front of Lorimer and facing him. But the attack had spent it's force. Icrimer was talking of something else. It was left for Senator Kern to simply prepare to reply to Lorimer when he can get the floor tomorrow. Lorimer was at his best today. When he pleaded his voice quivered with emotion, when he stormed he paced up and down like wild animal at bay.
 But Whn he quit for the day ex- hausted, the only Senators who step- ped forward and shook his hand, were the one who have supported him throughout They we're Senators Dll- lingham, Gamble and Fletcher, for instance. All three of them had fought fer him since the case first began.
 In all appearances not single vote had been changed in his favor as a result of his two days appeal.

PULASKI JURY MAKES ITS REPORT 242 Indictments Returned in "Jack the Shooter''
 Cases. ROADS COMMENDED Conditions in County Jail Are Review ed and New Quarters Are
 Recommended.
ROADS COMMENDED

Investigation of the so-ealled Jack the Shooter cases by the Pulaski County grand jury occupied consid erable time of that body during the last session. according to f nal report submitted to Judge R. J. Lea in the First Division of Circuit Court Fri day morning. Two hundred and forty-tWo indictments were returned by this jury during it's term since March 4, 1912.
 The report in detail follows: To the Honorable R. J. Lea, Judge
 of the First Divlsion of Circuit
 Court: a
 We, your grand jury, for the March term, 1912 term of court, beg leave to submit this, cur final report
 We have been in session, intedmit- tently, s nee March 4, 37 days in all during which time we have examined all cases sent to us from the differ ent justices Of the peace courts and many others that have been before aus. We have docketed 144 cases, ex- gamined 4S2, paid witne sses, and many other volunteer work, or subpoenaed, witnesses. Thirty-five cases were dismissed, 240 ind ctments returned and five cases held over to the next --graqd jury. .-s1y --ss ..--...,
 During this session it seems that there has been committed an un- usual number of felonies, such as murder, assault, Jack the Shooter" acts. etc., to which this body ilas given especial attention, and we be- lieve is the result of many conVic- tions.
 This grand jury experienced the same difficulties as as former grand juries have in obtaining the proper names of States witnesses with the transcripts, and in some cases no tes- timony of witnesses in justice of the peace courts were furnished.
 We recommend that all transcripts filed with the just ce of the peace courts be accompanied by the testi- mcny of the State witnesses, which will greatly benefit the grand jury and reduce the cost 10 the county, al- so avoiding the practice of bringing such witnesses before the grand jury, which knows noth'ng whatever about the case.
 Information of Gambling.
 While in session it came to the at- tenticn of this grand jury that con- siderable gambling was going on, ccn- celning which only meager informa- tion could be obtained. Several gambling houses were raided by our county and city officials and the de- vices destroyed. We highly commend these eff cers for their action in this matter, and we sincerely hope that our county and city officers will con- tinue to use vigilance and destroy this evil.
 Special committees were appoint ed to examine the different county institutions. These committees made their Inspections and examinations as required and their reports are att ta..her hereto and made part of same.
 We respectfully invite your atten- ton to these reports, more especial ly those of the jail and hospital.

Good Road Improvement.
 In the special committee report on the condition and progress of good road Improvement in Pulaski Snun y especial mention was made of the work done by County Judge Joe Asher. The language used by the committee ,was as follows:
 We congratulate the county en having such competent and enter prising county judge, and we feel sure that with proper support he will soen have the roads and bridges in this county in first-class ccnd;tio and We trust the work will be pushed rapid ly as possible until completed"
 Another speclol committee reported that the accounts of all county of ficers were in good shape. The rec ommendation was made similar to those of previous grand juries-taat more up-to-date methods in the book keeping used would facilitate perodi- cal accounting.
