that they can beat all other men in
the Marathon, the great event of the
present Olympic meeting, which will
be run tomorrow. the American en-
trants and hangers admitted today
they could probably not hold Koleh-
mainen, the wonderful Finnish dis
tance runner Any accident 10 this
great athlete, the Americans agreed,
would probably be followed by an
American triumph in the classic.
However, there is nothing but admira
ton felt for him in the American
camp, and II he is first home in the
race he will be cheered no more
warmly by anyone than the Ameri-
can athletes.

runs always like a well-oiled machine
and his speed is most remarkable

others are ready for their supreme ef-
fort The doctor, who examined them
today stated that not a single man
in the group showed a pulse OF more
than fifty to the minute, indicating
conclusively their strong hearts, the
result Of years Of training. Whether
we can approach Kolehmainen, how
ever is a question. / am afraid We
cannot"
Hayes opinion was that OF the
other American hangers, but the
runners insisted they would try any
how and Ryan was supremely CONF
dent that he could accomplish the
task

CHARGE OF
GRAFT AGAINST
GOV. BLEASE
Accused Of Receiving Money
for Granting Prisoner a
Pardon
OUTCOME OF LAWYER
CAMPING ON TRAIL
Bv ma United Press.

BY The United Press.
AUGUSTA. Ga, July 13-Sensa-
tional charges we're made against
Governor Cole l. Blease, of South
Carolina, today by Detective Reed, of
the Burns agency, before the spe-
cial investigating committee of the
South Carilan legislature which is
holding its sessions here.
In his two years in Office Blease
has made a record for the number OF
convicts he has pardoned. Today the
charge was made that in one case at
least Governor Blease received $4,000
for his executive action.
The Blease probe is the result Of
long fight between the picturesque
governor and Thomas B. Fielder. a
prominent Atlanta lawyer and a we'll
known politician. Fielder was the
steersman for the winding up" com
mission several years ago. II was
charged at the time that there was
heavy graft in the administration OF
the state liquor monopoly. Two
years ago Fielder began issuing state
meuts charging Blease with having
shared in the dispensary graft and
the raven-haired governor replied
with counter-charges For time
the controversy became so bitter that
it was feared that violence would re-
suit should the men ever meet.
Before the committee Fielder re-
newed his charge that Blease. as At
torney for the dispenEary commission
effected a rebating contract with a
Wholesale liquor house. Fielder also
assailed Blease's honesty as state
senator and accused him of ceiling
pardons as governor. He said
Blease "fattened" upon graft
William j. Burns, the detective, also
testified that Bleases official acts
have been improper and said that the
San Francisco graft was insignii-
cant compared with conditions In
