TO CHANGE HAMMER RULE
College Men Will Pick Field for
Track Meet To- day.

The executive committee OF the Inter

lctics Of America held its annual meeting
at the WaldorfAstoria last night pre-
liminary TO the general meeting Of the
association to-day Contrary TO custom.
the committee failed 10 recommend that
the annual games be held on any particu-
lar field. and il Is probable that there viii
be a keen struggle between Harvard and

ecutive committee recommended last
night that they be admitted. Aside from
these two pieces of business. the associ
alton will have to pass on more amend
ments 10 the constitution than have come
up in years.
The committee will recommend that the
rules for the hammer throw be changed.
limiting fair throws to those falling with
in an are of % degrees and requiring "A
heavy wire fence around the circle from
which the hammer is thrown covering
an arc Of at least l25 degrees. The com
mittce also will suggest that the weight
OF the hammer be increased 10 twenty
one pounds and the length of the handle
reduced 90 three feet. \ freshman eli
gibilty rule will be proposed for action,
but il fails TO carry recommendation.
Hereafter the finish of race is to be
designated when a runner touches or
crosses the line instead Of breasting the
tape. 4 standard hurdle. not easily
knocked over. also is recommended, but
the committee did not feel justified In
recommending "A fixed hurdle.

Il CART 1T AWAY
o'clock last night.
There were thousands of peo-
pie within shouting distance of
the train at the time.
But this did not bother the
robber. He walked quietly into
the car of the Adams Express Co.
and stuck a gun in the face of
John Efertz, 2428 West Superior
street, the messenger.
He suggested to Efertz that it
would be a good idea for him to
put up his hands. Effertz agreed
with this and did put them up.
The masked man took Effertz'
revolver, doubtless as a memente
of the occasion, and then helped
himself to the $1,000 or so in the
safe.
Then he backed out of the car.
He backed right into the arms of
Conductor L. c. Smith and Smith
tried to grab him.
But the robber was little per-
turbed by this unfortunate Incl
dent. He just smashed Smith and
hoped off the car and went away.
Smith emptied his revolved in
the general direction he thought
the masked man had taken. There
are no bloodstains around where
he aimed at.
There were some few dozen
special railroad detectiYes-gen-
tlemen whose chief duty It appar-
emily is to shoot poverty-stricken
persons who pick coal that has
fallen fromrcars or strikers in time

Bulletin, 3 p. m.-The City
Hall has not been stolen yet.
Bulletin, 3 p. m.-The postof-
fee still is standing in the same
old place.

Chicago now has acquired the
supreme distinction in robberies.
New York used to hold this
place; San Francisco held it for a
time.
But New York only has a dar-
ing taxicab robbery-it always is
taxicab robbery in New York
about once a year, and San Fran
cisco's spasm lasted only for a
space.
Chicago has outdistanced them
all, and its citizens can now count
on a policeman being shot and
killed, or a store burned down, or
train held up in the heart of the
city, or the cuspidors stolen from
the City Hall about once a week.
There is nothing timid about
Chicago robberies; no modesty,
nor shyness, and none of that
backwardness about its robbers
such as characterizes the GRIMM
ais of other cities.
Chicago's latest robbery is still
fresh and green, and the police
are apparently about as far from
capturing the perpetrator as they
are from capturing that gentle
murderer, Teddy. Webb.
The robbery, to say the least of
it, was carried out in a calm and
orderly way.
A masked man boarded the
stockyards special train between
Polk and Harrison streets, just
outside the Union Depot, .at.Z:30
