HELFFRICH FAILS
in RECORD EFFORT
Runs Far Behind 900 Yard
Figures at N.Y.A.C. Ganes-
McAllister Is Beaten.

The outstanding features OF the an
nual autumn games of the New York
A. C. staged at its summer home at
Travers Island yesterday were the un-
successful attempt of Alan b. Helffrich.
national A. A. U. champion half mile
runner, to lower the record for running
600 yards and the defeat of Robert Nc
Allister. the newly crowned champion
sprinter. at 100 yards by William Hayes
OF the Boston A. A.
The figures which Helffrich tried in
vain to better were l minute 10 40 Sec
onds. They were created by Mel Shep-
pard in race at Celtic Park, In Long
Island City, in 1910. Helffrich was un-
able to cover the distance In better
than / minute IL 3-5 seconds. 1t was a
very disappointing performance consider
ing that all elements that contribute
toward record breaking favored him
greatly The weather was perfect. the
track lightning fast. the pacemakers
quite speedy. and there was very little
breeze. Despite the happy combination
of conditions in his favor, Helffrich at
no time during the race showed the kind
OF speed necessary to give chance to
change Sheppard's mark. although he
won the race by ten yards. He was
very tired runner when he breasted the
tape.
Hayes Fastest Sprinter.
McAllster was beaten on his merits
by Hayes, for In spite of the fact that
the race was of the handicap variety
won preliminary and semi-fnal heat
In ofN No M ontn oil a
fine exhibition of speed in his semi.
final heat. doing the distance In the
sparkling time Of IL seconds. Burke's
best time IN trial heat was 2-10 OF a
second slower. Because of this differ
ence in time and the easy manner in
which McAllister scored everybody be-
levcd the policeman sprinter was des-
tined to go on to victory In the final
heat. However. he failed to run back
to his good previous effort. Hayes left
his mark quicker than the flying cop.
This advantage quickly gained him
lead OF a foot. He increased his lead as
the race stretched out and breasted the
tape victor by 2h feet. McAllister
beat r. Welch Of the Bridgeport A. c.
for the place by only a few inches.
Hayes's success was a big surprise TO
those who saw him perform unsucccss-
fully In the recent championship games
at WeeQuahic Park in Newark. The
form he displayed yesterday was far
better than he exhibited at the New
Jersey meet. The former Notre Dame
and national title holder was certainly
at his best. because timers caught him
in IL seconds In the final heat.

TILDEN OUTPLAYED
in -FOUR SET MATCH
Johnston Triumphs Over
Champion as East Ties
West 3 to 3.
by SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

William NJ. Johnston. unsuccessful
in his bid for the national title, is going
back to California with some measure
of consolation, for in his last meeting
of the season with William T. Tilden,
national and worlds champion at
Forest Hills yesterday, he scored
well deserved triumph over the man
who crushed his title hopes at Phila-
delphia a week ago. In four whirlwind
sets, not nearly as dramatic as any of
match, but chock full of scintillating
tennis, the Californian scored over his
brilliant rival at Ga, 4-6, Sc, Go.
IL was this victory that enabled the
West to tie the East in their annual in
tersectional event at 3 matches all. A
seventh contest, which was to have de-
cidcd the series one way or the other,
remained unfinished. with r. Norris

called no contest, no matter which team
was in the lead And so no contest II
was and the series tie was thus made
possible.

THEATRE ONLY
12BY IS FEET
Auditorium of Smallest Playhouse
In United States Has Seating
Capacity of Sixty.

Yugiianti, Mich, April 21.-Ypsi-
iantf claims the smallest theatre in
the country, one of the oldest OF
its kind anywhere and one that ia
regarded as a unique example OF
the Little Theatre movement"
The theatrical club was started
seven years ago with Is members
for a study of the drama. The or
ganization has developed to a point
where it occupies national prom
inence among supporters OF the
Little Theatre movement"

its inception was to provide enter
tainment for its members. After
the first year the society purchased
a small barn here and remodeled
IL into a playhouse The same
building is in use at present The
auditorium has seating capacity
of so persons and is but IL by is
feet in dimensions, with a small
balcony constructed from part of
what formerly was hay NOW.
The stage has a depth of 25 feet
and a proscenioum arch 8 by Is
feet
The interior of the theatre has
been painted and decorated with
old English lanterns, giving it an
Elizabethan appearance. The stage,
however. is equipped with a mod
ern lighting system costing $4,000
and described by theatrical experts
as unsurpassed within its limits by
any stage in larger theatres.
0ne-Act Plays.
Only one-act plays are offered,
usually two or three of them on
each night when performances are
held Following the performances
players and audience join in a sup
per prepared in the basement of

porting and announces it is work
ing toward bringing about a NUM-
cipal playhouse. Every member of
the society is subject to call for
any performance, from scene shift
ing TO playing : role in some play.
Some of the members nave shown
unusual ability in scene painting
and costume making.

TOURIST BUSINESS
IN CONSTANTINOPLE
UNDERGOES REVIVAL,

Constantinople. = Americans and
Turks were delighted by the arri-
val here recently OF two big Amer
lean tourist ships carrying more
than 1000 passengers, among whom
there were said to be more than so
millionaires.
= Revival of the American tourist
business has been awaited here
with great anticipation and the
Americans received more than a
cordial welcome from their compa-
triots connected with relief work
as we'll as from the keepers of
Turkish bazars anxious to sell SOU
venirs to their visitors.
One of the ships sailed into the
harbor of Constantinople with its
band playing Dixie" while the
Americans in the near east relief
orphanages on the water front
waved American flags.
The Americans found Constan-
tnople harbor filled with the war
ships of every nation, country
still at war and a city with more
than 10000 refugees. Passengers
OF both ships took up collections
for emergency relief, gave dona-
tons for orphanages and refugees
and promised to send their winter
clothing to Constantinople when
the trip was over.
The merchants were all excite
ment over the arrival of the Amer
leans and fairly pulled the tour
lists into the shops in their eager
ness to sell.
Some of the tourists entertained
Rear Admiral Bristol, American
high commissioner, and Mrs. Bris-
tol in the Muscovite, famous Rus
sian restaurant.
The American visitors were serv-
ed by girls who were formerly
members of the old Russian aristo-
cratic families who came to Con-
stantinople two years ago as refd-
gees.
AS parting gift the tourists sent
70 the near east relief orphanages
on the Bosphorus the favors given
~ the various dances.

Representatives OF railroads.
tesdfying before the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce, the
interstate commerce commission
and the United States railroad la
Dor board, have stated that puni-
tive overtime was forced upon the
railroads during federal control.
John g. Walker, secretary of the
bureau of information of the east
ern railroads, put forward nv the
association Of railroad executives
to testify'as to the operation and
results or the labor policy of the
railroad administrator. gave testi-
mony tending to show that the
wage orders of the administration
mad imposed great and unneces-
sary burdens upon the railroads
particularly the Pennsylvania and
the Philadelphia and Reading.
On page 537 of the senate hear
lngs ne is quoted as having stated
that punitive overtime rates were
established on these roads against
the wishes of their officials.
The facts. as they were devel-
oped by William Gibbs McAdoo.
former director general of rail-
roads during federal control, in his
testimony before the senate COM
mlttee on interstate commerce
(Feb. 2, 1929, directly contradicted
this statement. They are:
ID When the railroads were
taken over by the government a
great majority of the first-class
railroads were making punitive
overtime payments to their en-
ployes.
(2) The railroad administration,
through its railroad wage commits
sion, made an extended investiga-
ton of punitive overtime, to deter
nina the advisability of extending
1t to all carriers under federal con-
troll
(S) While this investigation was
being made, President Rae of the
Pennsylvania railroad, earnestly
urged the railroad administration
to establish punitive overtime on
that system.
"a President Rae urged in sup
port of his demand for the estab-
lishmenS of punitive overtime that
it was in force on practically all
railroads in the great eastern reg
ion with the exception of the Phil
adelph.a and Reading and his own
road
(5) That before the investigation
was completed, and without author
ity from the railroad administration
(Which had refused Mr.. Raa's re-
quest), Regional Director A II.
Smith (before and since the fede--
81 90
York Central and one of the chief
spokesman for the railroad inter
ests), gave permission to Mr.. Rae
to establish punitive overtime On
the Pennsylvania railroad.
Roads Don't Tell Truth.
Mr.. McAdoo, replying directly to
Mr.. Walber's testimony, preferred
to above). said:
MIR. Walber failed to tell the
committee that time and a half for
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-04-21

( overtime was granted by Regional
Director Smith tpresident OF the
New York Central before and since
the termination of federal control) /,
without authority from the rail-
road administration, at the request
on President Rae and upon the rec
ommendation OF MIR. WaIber him
self. !"
Mr.. McAdoo presented to the COM
mlttee correspondence bearing upon
/ this subject
On March %, 1918, Mr.. Rae wrote
to Regional Director Smith:
We understand that the Central
railroad OF New Jersey has re-
! Gently adopted time and one-half
for overtime in their shops on
account of recent arbitration
award, SO that in this immediate
territory it would appear that the
Philadelphia and reading and our
| selves are about the only roads
which do not pay the additional
] rate for overtime in shops. This
being a general condition, and in
the nature of a wage agreement,
before conceding their request, we
bring it to your attention for your
| advice, which we would be very
glad to receive
/ Authority Withheld by Smith.
On April s, 1918. Regional Direc-
! tor Smith replied to Mr.. Rae as fol-
1 lows:
I'm view of the fact that the
railroad wage commission has be-
fore it a request from the repre-
sentatives of these employees fer
time and one-half for overtime and
the further fact that the wage COM
mission will in all probability han
down its award in the very near
future, 1 believe it would be adyis-
able for your company to withhold
action on this proposition until the
wage commission renders its
award"
Under date of April IL. Mr.. Rae
again wrote Mr.. Smith, pressing his
previous request for authority to
pay punitive overtime. He said:
May I ask you to kindly reply
to my letter of March %, regarding
request of committees representing
shop employees at the different
points on our system, for compen-
sation On the basis Of time and one
{ half for all overtime work? This
is very pressing matter and we
would like to be advised as soon as
possible"
Mr.. McAdoo testified that after
receiving the second letter from
Mr.. Rae, Director Smith telephoned
Director Gray (of the division of
operations of the railroad admins
tration) and asked for authority to
adopt overtime payment, but did
not receive it."
Overtime Established by Pennsy.
Despite this failure to get au-
thority from Director OF Operations
Gray" said Mr.. McAdoo. Regional
Director Smith, on April 16. 1918,
acceded to the request OF Mr.. Rea
to put in a schedule of time and q
r for overtime work"
=. Smiths letter of authorize
ton to Mr.. Rae is dated April Is.
and is as follows:
"In view of all lines in your ter
ritory. excepting p. & R., paying
time and one-half for overtime
work, it will be satisfactory for>
you to put this basis of pay into
effect in the saops on your line

SELLS TO sELDIN

A deal was consumated Monday
by which J. 0. Smathers sells his
grocery stock to e. D. Seldin. The
store was closed Tuesday for invoice
and the Smathers stock will be NOV
ed TO the corner store.
Mr.. Smathers has been associated
with business interests almost con-
tinuously in Raymer since he was
teaching school here, as clerk or
proprietor, save when he was in the
army, and made many friends by
his square dealing with the people.
We regret very much that he has
seen fit to quit. s
However, II is probable that two
grocery stores can serve the people
amply. a
The deal will give Mr.. Seldin
chance for expansion and enable him
to do a larger ammount Of business
at practically the same expense.
The tendency of the times ia along
consolidation In all lines Of business.
Just what plans Mr.. Smathers has
Tor the future, we do not know, but
whatever they are. Raymer people
Will always wish him success In
whatever he may undertake.
