BOUGHTON VICTOR
IN THRILLING RACE
Local Runner Captures Ameri-
can CrOss-COnntry Title by
Hairs Breadth.

In one of the greatest races ever wit
messed in Philadelphia, Charles
Boughton, of the Central High School,
of this city, yesterday captured the
American scolastic eross-country
championship after a heart-rending
struggle with McHale, of the Central
High School, of Philadelphia, over the
course in Paramount Park, Philadel-
phia.
After being neck and neck for nearly
the entire distance, the speed kings of
the Newark Central High and Phila-
delphia Central High turned in the
home stretch still abreast. In the last
200 yards both runners let out burst
of speed that carried them over the
line so close that the judges first an
nounced it was a dead heat.
Many of the spectators thought the
home lad was the winner, but after
few minutes elaboration the
judges announced that Boughtop
had won by hairs breadth.
Boughton won the race by two
ffths of a second, with Shank, of
Mercersburg Academy, four seconds
behind the winner. 1t was evident
from the start that the race was be-
tween Boughton and McHale, but in
the homestretch Boughton had a
fraction of q second more speed than
had McHale with Skunk faltering
near the finish.
The Mercersburg team, captured the
team prize, with a score of forty-six
points, beating out the Central High
team, of Philadelphia, by one point.
This was the second time in the
thirteen years in which the race has
been held that Central High, of Phila-
delphia, failed to land the team tro-
ply. After winning it for eleven
years, the Quaker City lads dropped
to second place last year, Central
High, of this city, winning. Yester-
day Newark was, third, with West
Philadelphia fourth, Richmond Hill

sixth. The summaries:

Tragedy Believed to Have Been
Caused by Divorce Of
Younger Man

New York, May 5.--Hiram Duryea,
aged 81, retired millionaire starch
manufacture and civil war veteran,
was murdered by his son, Chester
Duryea, aged i3. about l o'clock this
morning on the rear porch OF the
Duryea home, where they were in the
habit of sleeping. He fired seven shots
into. his fathers body the first from
a rifle and then emptied a revolver.
Divorce action, begun in 1901 and
which eliminated in Chester being
divorced i'm 1903. is said to have been
the beginning of the trouble between
the father and son, the former taking
sides with the daughter-in-law against
the son.
Although the servants said there was
no quarrel between the men before
they retired, an overturned table, a
broken screen, and books scattered
about on the sleeping porch led the
police to believe that chester had
awakened his father and a struggle
ensued.
Chester would give no reason when
taken into custody. For the past few
days, the servants told the police, he
had been acting strangely ana they
feared a return of his nervous break
down. In 1909 his father sought to
have him removed to "a hospital for
observation, hut as he was not violent
the request was refused.
AT the close of the Civil war, Duryea
was retired with the rank of brigadier
general.
In a cell at the police station. Ches-
ter Duryea said he shot his father
when he received u spiritual message
from George Washington" In sener
tone he added
"I was the best friend of my father,
and he was my best friend Really
don't know why | shot him."
Before his arraignment in court
Duryea became violent and beat on
the doors of the cell with his knuckles.
Will Be Arraigned Thursday.
The arraignment of Duryea was
postponed until Thursday Chester
was admitted to the practice of law
and he had intended To take up the
legal business of the starch company.
A cousin said he was mentally un-
balanced owing to over-study.

Chihuahua. Mexico. May 5.-Fed-
erals are strongly fortifying Salti!!o
and preparing to make a desperate
stand against the rebel forces nf
General Villa.
Advices from the front say that
1900 federal reinforcements have re-
ported to Saltllo, bringing the strength
of the federal garrison there up to
more than 10000.
Federal deserters say conditions in
Saltillo are growing desperate as the
large garrison has exhausted the food
supplies in the city and surrounding
country and there is suffering among
the people.
The rebel advance against Saltillo
has become general. Today General
Villa began entraining troops at Tor
ieon for San Pedro de las Colonias.
AS the railroad line between San Pedro
and Monterey still is out of commits
sion, the forces sent to San Pedro VIII
march overland from that point 20
Monterey and thence To Saltillo.
Villas Whole Force Moving.
Villa has $4,000 men to send against
Saltillo and practically the whole force
now is moving To the attack.
I 1t is stated by rebel leaders tonight
that General villa will devote his
whole attention to Saltillo. leaving the
Tampico situation to Generals Con
zales and Villareal.
General Carranza shortly after his
arrival at Torreon next week expects
To visit the city of Durango. in the
state of that name, to establish civil
government.
The situation there has caused him
much anxiety because. of the DON'T
nance of the Arrietta brothers, Ben
jamin and Dominguez. These men,
having recruited about 5000 men, an
nounced allegiance to Carranza. but 1t
is alleged that they have merely used
the rebel banner as a cloak for lootinS
and OUTRAGE.
