IOWA WOMAN KILLED IN
WEST BY INSANE MAN

Perry. ia, Aug. 3.-The body Of Mrs.
Edna Williams-Mountain, who was
killed in the state of Washington. by
an insane man was brought to this
place for burial. This death was a
most tragic one. Mrs. Mountain had
been visiting in Pasco, Wash, for sew
eral weeks and was on her way to the
station to leave when she .yas attacked
by Jacob Sentel, a maniac, and shot
twice, one bullet passing through her
heart. The man then turned the
gun on himself, INJECTING a wound
which may prove fatal.
The peculiar part of it is that. Mrs.
Mountain had never been seen by the
man before. and it is thought that she
had never seer him. The reason for
the crime will never be known.

The state does not recognize &, resig-

not the county committee could now

ARMOUR'S MILLIONS
SAVED WHEAT MARKET

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Armour's millions
rescued the wheat trade from panic.
Instead of chaoes resulting from a
settlement yesterday in the midst
of a war market. with possibly scores
of firms embarrassed and a virtual
certainty hat bankruptcies, few or
many, would ensue, the Chicago board
of trade was enabled to maintain the
record of never having closed, no mat
ter how great the emergency and to-
day not a failure, big or little, had
taken place..
The chief reason was that rs en-
tangled firms and individuals on the
exchange were freely given by Armour
& Co whatever aid the necessities of
the situation required.
President Geo. e. Marcy, of the Ar
mour Grain company, was the man who
arose to the occasion. He quietly
circulated word on the loor of the board
partly in person and partly through
his lieutenants, that any member in
trouble yesterday need only come 70
him. Before nightfall Armour & Co.
had taken over 5000, 900 bushels of
open trades which, if not transferred,
We're critically in danger of not being
safely settled in due contract time, the
expiration of business hours at the
end of the month.
In addition to the relief extended di-
rectly, President Marcy ordered the
sale of 1000, 900 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
instrumental in preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool yester-
day came ahead of a steep substantial
fail.
The Armour sales Of wheat were
supplemented by simultaneous dis
posal of 1000, 600 bushels of corn and
an equal quantity of oats. These
sales We're afterward covered by num-
erous gradual purchases whenever pit
conditions would allow without dis
turbing the course of prices.

a great race, and General MacFarland
told Kramer he did so we'll that he
was going to put him and Grenda on
for another race.
"The public will demand another
race" MacFarland said.
"Well, | won't" Kramer replied,

C
If it wasn't for Kramer's great ride
in the pursuit race, Goullet's per-
formance in the big match race with
RI tt and Clark would have been the
big feature of the night. AS it was,
all kinds of praises are being heaped
upon the fair Australian by the fans
who witnessed his great exhibition OF
speed and generalship. Goullet Is
simply flying, and the manner in
which he disposed of Rutt, who gave
him a battle, and Clark, who didn't
make much of an effort, was really
astounding. Goullet had every
thing" as the saying goes, last night.
He outJoekeyed Rntt and CLARK ana
got the position he wanted in both
heats. He was full of running and
in the first heat he went by Rutt in
the first turn of the last lap as If
Walter was only a truck horse. To
the credit of Rutt as gamester,
though, the big German" never
gave up the battle and he fought
Goullet rounding the Mum avenue
turn and well up the stretch. But
"Goullie," despite Rutts heroic ef-
forts. won handily. He was looking
up all the way down the stretch and
just pedaled fast enough to keep in
front. His time was II AS seconds,
very fast, in that he finished so fresh.
In the second heat Goullet showed
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-07-17

and he was set on winning the pur-
suit race, which, besides the money
prize, had silver cup as an in
centive to the winner In his heat
against Goullet, Kramer showed great
strength, and it is doubtful IL there
was another man at the track who
could beat "Goullie' in the one-mile
trial heat But that was the luck of
the draw and Goullet was the suf-
ferer Rutt won from Fogler in their
heat and Grenda beat Lawson. Cav
anagh disposed of Moretti, but Jackie
Clark disappointed his friends by los
ing to Norman Anderson in very slow
time. Anderson won in 2:10 2-5 and
Clark, beaten fifty yards, did 2:1S
fat. 1t was not very glorious ex-
hibition and Clark's friends didn't like
1t at all. 1t was even worse than his
exhibition in the match race, in which
he was third in both heats, and he
didn't appear to make much of an
effort in either of them. Spears was
the sixth man to qualify, his victim
being Floyd Thomas.
CO
As the race was run, Kramer was
far the best man. He put out Spears
in a hurry, and after Grenda had
passed Rutt, Kramer disposed of An
derson and Cavanagh. This left the
champion and Grenda the only two
men on the track and both kept to
a steady gait and would likely have
ridden many miles before a decision
could be reached. The distance rid
den was four miles and one-half lap
and Kramer and Grenda at the time
the race was stopped were just half
lap apart. This meant that Kra-
mer had gained just forty-nine yards
on Grenda, and 1t also led many to
believe that Kramer was entitled to
the victory. However, the decision
of the judges was the proper one.
Although Kramer had gained on
Grenda he had not overhauled him,
and thus Kramer could not be de-

circumstances it was only fair to de-

and Grenda said they were not so
very tired, and Kramer was as cocky
as a schoolboy and was sure he would
have won. Grenda was quiet about
the matter. but he thanked Kramer
for taking him home out of the rain

!
The decision of Referee Eugene
Corrl In declaring Georges Carpen-
tier the winner over Gunboat Smith
on a foul in the sixth round has stir
red up considerable unfavorable dis
oussion. The claim ls made by
Smiths manager that his man waa
"jobbed." but no one will care to be-
lieve that. According to the cable
accounts of the battle Smith merited
disqualification by hitting his oppo-
nent when he was down on one knee
on the floor of the ring There is no
getting away from that fact. Who
would have eventually won the bout
doesn't enter into the argument.
Smith committed a foul and Smith
lost. That Is the referees decision and
that settles it.
The honesty of the decision is an
other question. 1t is claimed that
Corri did not give his decision i'm
mediately-not until Carpenters sec
onds had implored him to do so. That
is according TO Hoyle. 1t is the duty
Of second to claim a foul for his
man, and some referees will not
disqualfy a man for fouling unless
such claim is made 1t was only
natural that Carpenters seconds
should raise an objection when they
saw Smith strike their man when he
was down. And when the heat of
argument is over it will very likely
be admitted that Mr.. Corri didn't act
unwisely in the least.
g
The counter claim is made by Man
ager jim Buckley that Carpenter
should have been disqualified be-
cause his seconds entered the ring
before decision had been given. I'M
mediately Smith struck Carpenter
the foul blow, 1t seems. Carpenters
manager rushed through the ropes
and protested to the referee. Mr.,
Corri evidently recognized his pro-
test, for he waived Smith to his cor
ner and pointed to Carpenter as the
winner. The confusion was so great
among the vast number Of spectators
that a riot almost ensued The an
nouneement that Carpenter had been
awarded the bout on a foul seemed
to rather please the majority, among
whom were many Frenchmen.
@
At the time the fight was stopped
Smith had the better of 1t. He had
knocked Carpenter down with a ter
rife right-hand punch, and the
Frenchman was resting on one knee,
when Smith let go another punch,
said to be unintentional However.
the blow hit Carpenter and it was a
foul blow, and Smith lost the fight
then and there. He might have even
tually won If he had not lost his head,
and he may never be given another
such opportunity.
C
Although Smith had Carpenter in
a bad way in the sixth and last
round of the contest, during the first
five rounds of the battle Carpenter
did the better work. In the second
and third rounds the Frenchman
outboxed the Yankee at every turn
and had a big lead on points He
