U. S. Sets Relay Mark.
The Americans. while no scoring in
the marathon continued to pile up
their toal. score and piled another rec
ord under their belts when the relay
team walked away with the honors in
the 400-meter contest.
The American team was composed
of Charles w. Paddock of Los An
geles; J. V. Sch)lz University of Mis-
souri, Laurence MurchisOn of New
York and NJ M. Kirksey of the San
Francisco Olympic club. Their time
was ~ 1-5 seconds. France took Sec
Ond place with Sweden third, and
England, Denmark and Luxembourg
finishing fourth, fifth and sixth. The
old 400 meter relay mark of 42.3 sec
onds was hung up by German team
in 1912.
America also beat Sweden for first
place in the 3,000-meter relay. There
was a big attendance, drawn, in spite
of the inclemency of the weather, be-
cause of the marathon run. The route
of the 26-mile grind led through small
villages over all sorts of roads and
the course, while solid and good for
running in some places, also had spots
cobble under foot. Soldiers kept the
course clear and officials were placed
at various intervals along the route TO
record the positions of the runners.
Yanks Left Far Behind
During the first half of the mara
thon Gtsham. the fleet South Afri-
can, led the field but tired and was
unable to place The Americans had
been left far behind early in the run
ming at the ten-kilometer mark, the
first United States contender holding
seventh place with difficulty: Kohle-
mainen was even farther back but he
was letting the others make the pace,
and when he went out TO win his SUI
premacy was easily apparent.
Weather was ideal for the running
of the great race although it had been
cold and threatening earlier in the
day. There remained just enough tang
to the atmosphere to make it ideal,
however when the starters gun sent
a field of 81 away from the mark. The
track was fairly fast.

Mob Iynches
 Slayers
Sonoma County Scene of Triple Hanging and
 Jail Assault
PLEA OF SHERIFF
 GOES UNHEEDED

Santa Rosa, Cal., Dec. 10-A mob of 100 men swooDed down on the sonoma county jail early, today, for cibly seized George Boyd, Terence slayers of Sheriff James A. Petray, Miles Jackson and Lester Dorman, and hanged them from the limb of a tree in cemetery mile from town. Boyd, F'itts and Valento were to have been brought into court today.
 The pleas of Sheriff John M. Boyes. successor to the slain Sheriff Petray, that the law be allowed to punish the three prisoners, were unheeded- The mob, apparently well organized. their own band on guard. overpower- ed Sheriff BoyeS at the point of a dozen revo1vers and took his keys. Then they unlocked the cells and re- moved Boyd Fitts and Valento.
 Fifteen minutes later. the bodies of the men were hanGing from the same limb of a. tree projecting over the fence of the grave yard.
 Boyd. who was in the insane ward of the jail. suffering from a gunshot wound and peritonitis, was the first prisoner to be seized; he made no outcry. The masked leaders of the mob then made their way to where Fttts and Valento were held and un- locking the doors with the sheriff S keys, seized the prisoners. Valento and Fitts screamed in terror, but their cries were unheeded.
 The mob descended on the jail shortly after midnight, entering the town from the east ward in IS auto mobiles. All of its members were masked and the plans for the seizure and lynching apparently had been carefully worked out.
 Earlier in then evening, Sheriff Boyes had received a telephone tip that he had better be at the cem etery at half-past twelve as some ting was going to happen Instead of going to the cemetery 1he cheriff went to his offices in the jail, taking with him five deputies.
 When the battery of automobiles arrived at the jail all wires were quickly cut and the leaders forced their way into Sheriff Boyes' office.
 My God. boys. let them out,'' the sheriff pleaded. They're coming into court today and they will surely be convicted and hanged. Leave it to the law
 Not after that" was the laconiG pointed to a draped picture of the late Sheriff Petray that hung on the wall.
 The affair took place in a driving rain, which served to deaden the sound of the mob's operations. The 1urid glare of automobile headlights illuminated the scene of the hanging Sheriff Boyes said today that he had not recognized any of the mem suit as the members of the mob dis appeared in their automobiles after the lynching.
 | Coroner Frank H. Phillips early l today cut down the bodies and re-
 moved them to the norgue.

AU Equipment Tested,
 Fire Head Says After Nine Hose Lines Burst

Although every foot of hose used by the Bridgeport Fire Depar tment was tested Sept. 20, and pressure of 250 pounds exerted, nine lines burst yesterday noon when the fire in Lo- gan Brothers store at Middle and Congress street was at its height. One accident nearly resulted in the serious injury of three men who were in dan ger of being swept from ladder by the flood of water. As it was, the men were saved by the quick action of Fire Lieut.. John T. Mccarthy.
 The reasons for bursting hose lines are many, as explained by Chief Dan iel E. Johnson this morning. Most of the mishaps which occurred yester- day were probably caused by firemen suddenly shutting off the water in the nozzle, according to the chief. A re- lief valve on the pump is supposed to counteract the sudden pressure placed times cannot take up the pressure in time to prevent a break. Water is supposed to be shut off, gradually, but in the excitement of the moment firemen often overlook this fact. Weak spots in a hose are often caused by the line having been run foyer by some vehicle. According to the rules of the department. no truck is supposed to be driven over a line of hose unless in a case of necessity, as the hose is damaged and Is liable 10 break under pressure.
 , At no time during yesterdays fire lyas a pressure of more than 120 much as all of the hose was tested 8sp to 250 pounds, 1t seems that weak n,ots in the lines caused by some 5ast injury were responsible for the treaiks.

Those controlling the murder oF- ganization :n Ireland are not ready for peace and therefore the government has decided upon 8 double polfcy.,' said the Premier.
 we have no option but to continue and intensity the military campaign against a small but mighty organ1za- thon, which constitutes a desperate minority.
 s'On the other hand, we have no option but to encourage every agency in Ireland which is really anxious for an honorable sett1emen and peace'r the Premier added.
 It was learned that the territory which will be put under martial law is the southwestern part of Ireland where bands of raiders from the Irish Republican army have been operating from tie mountains where they main tain headquarters.
 In outlining the regulations in the districts covered by martial law, the Premier said tEat the death penalty would be inflicted upon persons con- victed of wearing unauthorized uni forms and harborins Irish rebels.

 The Premier, in referring to the peace message of the Rev rather Michael O'Flanagan, acting president of the Sim Fein, said it was ''one of the most hopeful signs of a new spirit in Ireland.' He added:
 ''The message of Father O'F1ana- gan and the message from the Galway Council required great courage on the part of the writers, but these have already been r>epudzated.''
 The Premier revealed that the gov arnment has replied to the recent peace message from Father o'F1ana- gan, affording him all possible faclif- ties for discussing the true situation
 The premier read documents that had passed between the government and Irish leaders who were seeking a peace agreement, One of these was a communication which had >eeen sent 10 Galway promising the Bishop of aGlway to facilitate uee4~ ing of elected representatives of Ire- land for the purpose Of discussing peace. The note made the exception however, that safe conduct could not be promised to Sim Fein members of Parliament, who were Implicated in crime. In conclusion the eona- rnunzcation said:
