ELIOT IS VICTOR
in PENTATHL0N
Hamilton Institute BOy
Gathers Chief LaureIS
at Erasmus Meet.

Van Cortlandt c. Eliot. a nineteen
year-old athlete from Hamilton Ins,i-
tute, is the all-around scholastic cham
pion of New York and vicinity.
BY the scant margin Of one-half
point last night in the Erasmus Hall
High School meet, held at the 23d Regi-
ment Armory. he defeated Alex For
moso, teammate, and {. c. Bucknam,
Of Dickinson High School.
Eliot was admirably consistent in the
five events which make up the Pen
tathlon, and though his best effort was
a tie for first in the high jump with
George Hughes, the Flushing High
School track star, he finished well
enough up in all the five events 70 give
him the 1916 individual honors.
Formoso metaphorically stumbled in
the high jump and the shot put or ne
might have been crowned champion.
Bucknam fell down in the hurdles and
half-mile. Eliot was at his best in the
high jump and shot put and ranked
up well enough in the other events 20
give him his narrow margin Of victory.
More sensational than Eliot's win
ming Of the Pentathlon was the per
formance Of Jesse Fleck, the Morris
High School boy, in the mile run He
set new Public Schools Athletic
League record in that event when he
circled the board track in 4:40.1.
three and one-half seconds better than
the mark which he made at the ODD
Regiment Armory last week in a dual
meet
Fleck ran well within himself, and
had he been pushed TO the limit he
might have endangered the worlds
scholastic mark. As il was, he ran
away from his field before the race was
three-Ggsrters done and at the finish
was going easily.
George Hughes. the Flushing High
School boy. who was one OF the favor
ties IN the Pcntathlon event, seemed 70
run himself out IN the 220-yard hurdles
race. This was rather a needless ex.
pendi,ure of vitality, for he had the
race won before he had taken a half
dozen sticks. and he might have walked
in had he so chosen. As il was. he
hurt himself in this race and fell down
in the half mile and century dash so
wofully that he was put out OF the run
ming, though he did manage 70 tie
Eliot for first in the high jump.

Chef. An attempt was made to lynch
him, but this was frustrated by the
sheriff.
Following the conviction of DeBerry
the governor was informed that 1000
persons had been invited to witness
the hanging, which was to occur Oct.
IL. On Oct Is the governor had his
secretary telephone the sheriff and
warn him that the laws of the state
would not permit a public execution.
Sheriff White assured the secretary
that the law would be complied with.
The execution, however, was conducted
in the presence of between one and
two thousand persons. All of these had
been "deputized" through the granting
of invitations, according to informa.
ton given to the governor later. The
governor also said he was credibly in
formed that the invitation tickets
were hawked about and sold on the
streets Of Murphysbcro prior to the
execution. Pictures were taken of the
affair which later were shown in a
Murphysboro moving picture theatre.
Governor Dunno promptly reprieved
Elston Scott, after he had failed to
obtain satisfactory assurances from
Sheriff White that the execution of
Scott would be conducted on different
lines. The governor has written the
sheriff repeatedly since the first re-
prieve was granted Scott asking for
assurances that the hanging would be
conducted with decorum, decency and
privacy but thus far the sheriff has
failed to meet the governors views on
the affair.
A recent visitor to the governor g
Office who had visited Scott in his Gel,
at Murphysboro quoted the colored
man as saying that he hoped the gov
ernor and the sheriff would never get
together in this world"

NEGRO GIVES HIS
HOPES FOR LIFE

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 21-Having
been reprieved four times because Of
difference of opinion between Gov
ernor Dunno and Sheriff James White
Of Jackson county as to how his exc
cution should be conducted, Elston
Scott, negro murderer under SEN
tence Of death at Murphysboro, ILL.,, has
expressed the fervent hope that the
governor and sheriff never get to-
gether."
Scott was sentenced originally to be
executed on Oct. %, 1915. He was re-
prieved by Governor Dunno to Nov.
10; again to Dec. IT; again to Jan. q,
1916 and finally to March 10, 1916. He
was found guilty of killing his sister
in-law. Clara Dalton, with a shotgun
| after she had interfered in quarrel
| with his wife. Scott followed the wo-
man to her home to kill her. So, in the
opinion of Governor Dunno, the crime
IS not one which would permit a COM
mutation of sentence, although ordi-
narlly the governor is an ardent ad-
vocate of the abolition of capital pun
| ishment.
While the governor is opposed to
capital punishment, this has nothing
to do with his interference in this
case for the governor also believes
that while the law is on the statute
books it should be enforced, but that
hangings, while he is governor, should
be conducted decently.
The controversy between the gov
ernor and Sheriff White is the result,
or the circumstances under which
another negro, Joseph DeBerry, was
hanged at Murphysboro DeBerry con.
