OLYMPIC ATHLETES
POORLY HOUSED
Dallas, Back From Abroad,
Says American Accommoda-
tions Were Bad
REFLECTS ON COMMITTEE

The success of the American Olym
pic team was not lessened in any way
by the widely reported poor accommO- :
dations afforded the 300 athletes who
made the trip. That is the statement of
Samuel J. Dallas. of Jenkintown, presi-
dent Of the Amateur Athletic Union.
who returned yesterday from the other
side.
Transportation and housing condi-
tions for the American team were not
what they should have been and Mr..
Dallas is not ready to clear the com
mittep in charge. headed by Barlow s.
Weeks and Gustav Kirkby. Of all blame
in the matter.
the dissatisfaction among the athletes
whose unfavorable views have been
most prominently on display in the
papers was due to conditions not under
the control of the committee on ar
rangemcnts. He does not expect that
any official condemnation will be made
of the censured officials. who. nevcrthc :
less. seem to be in for plenty of un-
official banning"
In the first place the transport on
which the team went over. the Princess
Natoika. was not the one originally
Planned TO use ana was not suitable for
the proper accommodation of so large n
party Of athletes.
More than hundred Of them had to
occupy troop quarters. which were in
no way suited for athletes who were
to be kept in the best of condition.
This state of affairs was outside the
jurisdiction of the committee and
greatly deplored by the official. Mr..
Dallas stated.
In Antwerp the team was put up in
Schoolhouse about twenty five min =
utps ride from the stadium. The
athletes were forced to sleep on cots
and the food at first was not quite
suitable fOI them.
The latter condition was Immediately
improved and the boys were properly
fed throughout their stay. But they had
to stick TO the cots or sleep on the
floor. which disgustcd many of them.
This. too, in the opinion of Mr.. Dal
las could not be clearly laid to the
| fault of the officials in charge or ar
rangementS. because Of the crowded
conditions in Antwerp. Another con
sideration was that America had sent
800 athletes to the games. while Grcal
Britain and many other countries wcr,
represented by teams Of from twenty
| five to fifty men.

MINERS IN THOUSANDS

Tire of Waiting for Policy Com,

WILKES Barre. Pa. sept. 1G.-Tirrd
of waiting for tho policy committee ot
the anthracite region to reach q decision
at Hazlcton and with all indications
pOnting toward a settlement of the
"vacation" question this week, thou
sands Of miners Of District |. returned
to work today. OF the 12j collerios in
the district only about a half dozen,
outside of the nine collicries OF the
Pennsylvania Coal Co., are idle. These
latter nine are tied up by strike
which began two months ago and which
is not really considered part of the wa q
cation
The insurgents Of this district have
virtually thrown up the sponge by de
claring their willingness to do whatever
the union leaders of Districts I and 3
decide.
The insurgents, who called the wa
cation" met in Scranton yesterday.
but there were very few present from
the lower section of District |. The
session voted to abide by the decision
of the "policy committee.
The insurgents have control of small
minority of the men. so, If the policy
committee decides there will be no work
until the monthly men of District q are
protected against discrimination, it is
doubtful if the wish Of insurgents viii
have as much effect here as it did two
weeks ago.
The sixth of series Of dynamitings
in the upper end of the county oC o
Cured in Exeter borough when strike
sympathizers damaged the home OF
James ID. peppi, at SO Penn avenue
last night. Peppi's wife and eleven
children. who had retired, were unin =
jured. The dynamite was exploded un-
der the front Of the house. The houses
surrounding were also damaged. These
dynamitings are causing hundreds of
Pittston miners to fear strikers and
keeps them from returning to the mines.

II have just had n conference with

that the cause Of the explosion Was

found in the wrcckage caused by the cx-
posiOn.
An hour after tho explosion occurred
tho police were inclined to the theory
Of a INT truck and an automobile on
Wall street between the Morgan Office
and the SubtreaSury Building
They pointed to the fact that a de
moliShed truck vas found at this point
near the wrecked automobile. The an
thorties switched their theory from dy-
Mantle to INT because of the fact that
ther" appeared no great hole in the pave
mcnt. such rs would have been blasted
by the downward force Of dynamite.
Remains Of the wrecked truck and its
horses were examined by the police. who
questioned construction men as -
whether tn" wagon rcscmbod the type
used in hauling explosives. Several con-
struction mon expressed firm belief that
the wreck was that Of a powder wagon.

Robert Kelso Cassatt. member of

II was talking over the long distance
telephone with a friend who Is one of

said that so far as they had been able
to learn, the point Of the actual cx

me that all the buildings in the row
had been damaged. His impression was
that most Of those injured were on the
street. and not in the buildings. lie
said he did not believe any member oi
