AMERICAN ATHLETES
 SHOWED UP WELL
THEY CAN HOLD THEIR OWN IN THE TRACK
 AND FIELD EVENTS

The showing made by the Amer'- can athletes In the English track anu field championships again demon
 strates the fact that in this particular
 department of sport the United
 States performers can hold their own
 against the world. In an entry llst
 of close to 240 there were seven Am
 erican competitors, three of whom
 participated in two events giving this country a total entry of ten. This little band competed in nine Of nlne-
 teen events composing the program winning two first. two second and two Ithird places. five of the seven en-
 trants being placed in the finals
 which included athletes from all parts of the British Isles, South Ar
 rica, Sweden, Australasia and Can
 ada
 These entries were either personal
 or club entries and were in no way official United States or Amateur
 Athletic Union entries. The expenses of the athletes were paid by them selves or by their respective clubs and the conditions under which the athletes trained and travelled abroad were far different from those gov erning a representative American team competing in either Olympic or international track and field games
 "IIobey" Baker, the former Prince ton university football and hockey
 captain who went abroad with sey-
 eral of the athletes who competed at
 the English games, in writing of the trip states:
 Ut was amusing to talk with train
 CT Jack Kelly in charge of Homer
 Baker of the New York Athletic Club
 and Harry Smith of the Bronxvi le Church House, the we'll known dis tance men, while ol their way to com. pete in the English championships. | The steamer on which we made tho
 voyage was poorly adapted to train ing purposes. The passengers little realized the importance of practice and hampered the runners in their practice by crowding the decks so
 that Kelly was forced to get his
 charges pearly in the morning and give them another workout late at night Kelly was very optimistic be-
 cause he had in Homer Baker one Of
 the best half-milers in the country. Bakers best time in the haf mile
 previous to the games was 1:56. Melvin Sheppard of the New York
 Athletic Club holds the present Eng. l fish record of 1854"
 Baker came within twodifths of a second of this record and established
 new record for the English cham
 pionships in this event which Is an excellent performance for an athlete who broke his A. A. t. novice less
 than four years ago. He made his atheltic debut as a high jumper and still holds the New York r. s. A. l.. record which forms an interesting coincidence with the feat of W. M Oler, Jr., of the New York A. C. in winning the English high jump cham pionship on the same day. Oler
 cleared feet 2 1-2 inches while his team mate was winning the half mile,
 which is 1 1-S inches below his worlds interscholastic record made in 1912 while a scholar at Pawling School.

APPEAL TAKEN IN
TENSAS Land Case
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLARES
SUIT CANNOT BE LEGALLY
COMPROMISED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Shreveport - Arrangements were
made Tuesday by Attorney General
r. G. Pleasant to file an appeal be-
fore the United States Circuit Court at
Monroe in the suit of the Tensas
Levee Board against the Tensas Delta
Land Company, involving approximate
ly 100000 acres of land. The suit
several months ago was compromised
for 100000.
Despite objection by the attorney
general the compromise was reached
and Federal Judge Boarman sustained
it, dismissing the case, which had been
filed with a. view of cancelling the sale
of the Tensas levee lands. The appeal
will be from Judge Boarmans decision.
Attorney General Pleasant invites
taxpayers in the Tensas Levee District
to join in the appeal. He claims that
the state is interested because the
Tensas district is part of the state
levee system. Mr.. Pleasant also de-
clares that fraud, as a1lng,3 coainst
the original sale, cannot be legally
; compromised.

BAD NEGRO WAS SLAIN
Norris Watson Created Panic Trying
to Escape From the Monroe Jail.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Monroe.-While fighting desperate
ly with a two-foot section of iron pipe
and scattering acid from a quart bot
tie in a determined effort to escape
from the parish jail, Norris Watson,
negro confined on a murder charge,
was killed by Deputy Sheriff Arthur
Grant and Police officer Tom McEle-
NEE Monday afternoon when dinner
was being served the prisoners. Mr.,
Grant and several others were burn
ed by the acid and John Flowers, the
negro porter at the sheriff's Office, re-
ceived blow across the head with
the iron pipe.
AS the cell was opened, Watson
rushed out and began to use the iron
pipe and TO throw the acid. He got
into the corridor Of the Jail, where
he fought desperately before he was
finally killed. He threw a heavy pad
lock at Mr.. Grant with such force as
to break it against the wall as the
deputy lodged. The negro paid no
attention to a wild shot to brighten
him. When shot in the leg he kept
fighting, and when he was shot
through the stomach, his reply was
Shoot again, you - white man.
At this juncture Officer Tom McEle-
NEE arrived on the scene and, stand,
ing outside the window, he fired one
shot, which pierced the negro's fore
head Watson had been in Jail about
a month. He was awaiting trial fol
numbering his wife, following a quar-
rel when she began taking her be
longings to neighbours house

ESCAPES vlDALIA'S JAIL
Hawthorne Sawed Way to Freedom
After Sentence Was Affirmed.

Vidalia.-V. B. Hawthorne, who was
convicted in the District Court Of cat.
tie stealing about six months ago, and
Who had been in the parish jail since
then awaiting the appeal of his casa
to the Supreme Court, which handed
down its decision affirming the de-
cision of the lower court, escaped from
the parish jail some time the follow,
ing night.
Hawthorne's attorney, John e. Clay,
ton, informed him of the Supreme
Courts action, and that night Haw,
thorne talked with Jailer Cross.
Hawthorne's wife and children have
visited him frequently during his In.
generation.
The iailer's cook was the first to dis
cover the escape when coming to work
in the morning Upon examination il
was found that Hawthorne had sawed
through eight of the iron bars at the
window. He closed the wicket in his
cell door to prevent prisoners in other
cells from seeing his work, and used
soap to lessen the noise.
Chains from the wall cots were fast,
ened together and tied around the bars
and hung down nearly to the ground,
A blanket was used to keep the chains
from rafting against the wall. Haw-
thorne left letter to Jailer Cross and
one to Mrs. Hawthorne.
