-(By The Associated Athletic
advancement throughout the world was
demonstrated Tuesday by the wide dis
tribution of honors in the third day
contests in the seventh Olymplad
For the first time in these games the
American athletes failed 10 win one of
the sixpont scoring places when all
four who qualified for the 5000 metre
race failed to finish. In all the other
finals and qualifying rounds, however,
the Americans were placed in several
cases after sensational performances
against the strongest foreign competi-
ton.
X. W Landon Of the New York Athle
tic club won the high jump with a new
Olympic record of 1913 II meters. al
though il was announced he had made
l.9f meters until sag of the bar was
re measured. Three other Americans
were placed in this event.
Shot Put
In the climiuations for finals in the
shot put and broad jump two Americans
qualified in each event. although lcglt'-
mate hard luck intcrfered with their
performances in the latter event. The
shot putters. misunderstanding the
French officials, put the shot a long time
up and later some of them did not do
SO Well as ia the practice.
Record Holder Is Out.
In the broad jump the negro, Sol
Butler Of Dubuque, the American rec.
ord holder, pulled tendon in his second
jump and was unable to qualify.
Three Americans also qualified for

The most sensational and pleasing
performance Of the day was that OF the

Credentials have been issued to
a number of delegates to attend the
convention Of the Mississippi VAL
ley association and the Waterways
association to be held at st. Louis
the latter on April 10, and the for
mer on April 20 and 81. by Harry
H. Cleaveland, president of the
Chamber of Commerce Of Rock Is
land. Colonel Harry Burgess, head
Of the United States engineers Of
flee for the upper Mississippi will
attend in his official capacity, and
necessary papers have been issued
to l. S. White. Ben Lamont, traffic
manager for the Rock Island Pillow
company; Charles Nourse. manager
of the Standard Table Oilcloth COM
pany, and Charles Shields, manager
of the Rock Island Manufacturing
company. Mr.. White also bears
with him credentials from the city
Of Cincinnati, Ohio. 1t is expected
that, business permitting, all the
delegates named from Rock Island
will attend. The recommendations
for credentials we're made by S. w.
Searle.
Considerable importance is
ascribed to the meeting for at that
time some action will be taken upon
the question of permitting coast
wise bottoms to pass through the
Panama canal toll-free, upon con-
dition that they stop at New Or
leans. Such a distinction would
increase the upriver freight on the
Mississippi and would mean much
| to river towns.
