Antwerp, June 25.-The American
Olympic team went through a good
two hours Their practice
was interrupted for Is minutes by a
ain but later the work was continued
before an enthusiastic crowd.
Melvin w. Sheppard. 1rish-Amer-
lean Athletic club, ran two miles in
fast time. The spectators were
amazed at the height the pole vaul1ers
scared and were greatly impressed
with the performances of Wright of
Dartmouth, who holds the record.
AS a whole, the American team
showed up splendidly. They eat and
sleep aboard the Finland. Trainer
Murphy has only one complaint and
that is that their appetities are too
good.
Lieutenant Graham of the Fifteenth
cavalry, U. s.. A, a member of the rid
ing team, who was kicked in the face
by his horse aboard ship, is much i'm
proved. All the members of the team
will work morning and afternoon to-
day and no side trips will be permit

Michael J. Ryan of the Irish-Ameri-

the Finland Saturday but the accident

MAYOR Thompson Says
He Isn't Discouraged

Mayor Thompson kept up his cour-
age "a long as possible, but when II
became absurd to longer pretend that

statement:
"The results Of the election do not
discourage me in the least. My duty
required that make an attempt at
adjustment of the controversy.
THE negotiations on the part OF
the city were conducted openly and
above board. They were participated

press and OF commercial and INDUS

proposition, as its proponents and op,,
ponents saw them, were discussed
broadly, widely-perhaps unfairly
but that makes no difference now.
The measure went 10 the people al
their first lawful referendum upon
1 this class OF subjects.
"The discussion OF the settlement
was, from the first, sadly muddled by
the intervention OF all manner OF poll
teal aspirants, who seem to have op-
posed the settlement for two classes
of reasons.

OF political issue which has been

theories. which are not uncommon

There was the influence OF a city
newspaper. whose discussions OF the
louestion and whose activities In the
defeat of the settlement were charac-
lterIzed by every possible appeal TO
passion. to personal malice. to the
spirit OF dissatisfaction, and TO the
lowest considerations by which men
are moved. -,
For my own part, ] believe still

Funeral Carriage Comes Along
and Gets Tangled Up With
Reporters and Royal Visitors

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Pursued by
eight taxicab loads OF newspapermen,
the duke and duchess Of Connaught
and their daughter, Princess Patricia,
braved the maelstrom of downtown
traffic today and visited the stock ex-
change, where they were forced to
tight their way through vast crowd.
The party left the Reid home In three
automobiles. Ambassador and Mrs.
Reid and the duke and duchess occu-
pied the first car. Princess Pat and
her lady-in-waiting. Miss Tully, were
in a second machine, and the dukes
bodyguard followed close behind in a
third touring car. At Thirteenth-st.
and Fifth-aye., the chauffeur in charge
of the princess car lost his hat. While
he was regaining IL, Ambassador Reds
car went speeding down tie avenue
and was hopelessly separated from
the rest Of the party. A few minutes
later the secret service men were
caught in the crush and were forced
to make a wild drive TO catch up with
the princess.
When the duke and his party ar
rived at the stock exchange, Princess
Pat" was not In sight. A searching
party was being considered when her
machine dashed up, accompanied by
the secret service men. BY this time
such q large crowd had gathered, that
the royal guests fairly had TO fight
their way into the visitors entrance
Of the exchange.
The royal guests were taken to the
xxvhn hnw In
troduced TO the members. They then
returned to the visitors gallery and
the duke spent 10 minutes watching
the trading, but most OF the members
gave their attention to the royal visi-
tors.
When the party started to leave the
exchange, funeral procession was
coming down wall-st The crowd
around the entrance was so big that
the hearse was forced TO stop. The
duke and duchess and Ambassador
and Mrs. Reid, got into their automo-
bile. The driver OF the hearse, some

INSISTS BEEF TRUST
STIFLED COMPETITION

CHICAGO, Jan. 24-That the Ma
tional Packing Co.. charged by the
government as being the head and
shoulders of the beef trust swept prac
tically all competition from the field
was brought out today before Federal
Judge Carpenter in the trial OF the
packers. Instead OF being the white
elephant" OF the beef industry, as
some OF the packers have called ii,
the National, II was shown is the sue
cessful makeshift for the billion dollar
beef combine conceived by Arthur
Veeder, the father OF the trust.
The government, over the repeated
objections OF the attorneys for the
packers, submitted the evidence OF the
corporate existence and makeup OF
the National company. II was shown
that before the concern had been or.
ganiZed two years IL had removed
from the field dozen competing pack.
ing houses and that in 1908, when IL
was Ave years old, II had absolute
control OF the industry. AS each
transaction by which q competitor
was removed was shown by the stock
records, fresh objection was made
and Judge Carpenter finally remarked
to the attorneys for the defense:
THE government has charged in
the indictment that the National Pack.
ing Co. was conceived in sin and the
government is evidently proceeding 20
the task of proving that it was also
bred In iniquity.'
The government showed that the
scores OF companies which composed
the National at its incorporation wero
valued at about sS,000.000. Within
the next Ave years II had absorbed
plants valued at s6.000,0o0, many Of
which were closed.
The testimony OF William II. Weber.
which was continued today, brought
out that the Nationals heaviest profits
were realized from the sale OF hides
between 1907 and 1909 when no allow
ance was made for the value OF the
hides in figuring the cost OF producing
dressed beef
