CALIFORNIA MEN SEEM CERTAIN TO
 WIN TRACK TITLE

FRANKLIN FIELD. UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, Philadelphia. May 25.-The brawny athletes of the University of California, as strong as old tradition in the field events, ap- tradition in the field events. ap- peared likely to win for the third year the national inter- collegiate track and field champions ship at the conclusion of Fridays qualifying trials. Hundreds of young men trained for various. specialties and other. more versatile, athletes. able to do great things with the weights and arrow as well as on the paths, congregated within the sta- dium before a scanty attendance to go through the preliminary tests Friday.
 California qualified three men in the running broad jump. the discus throw, the shotput and the javelin throw, two in the high jump, one in the 120yard hurdles and one in the pole vault.
 Yale landed two in the centuryt ore in the half mile, two in the jave- lin throw, one in the 220 hurdless one in the pole vault, one in the 220 dash, one in the 120 hurdles, two in the running broad jump, and one in the discus throw.
 The most astonishing feat of the day was the casual nonchalance with which javelin men began the meet by smashing the old intercollegiate rec ord of 1S5 feet SIS inches established last year at Harvard by George Bron- der of Penn.
 Neufeld of California sped the dart 1S5 feet on his first thrust, and then Storrs of Yale set the days maximum with a toss of 199 feet inch. There- after Neufeld improved, and reached 1S9 feet 1 ]. inches on his best try. nf val p1 feet 61a inches.
 The javelin men all broke the old record in their trials. The records will stand as marks for the final.

By MILTON BRONNER

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE sha-
dow of death seems to have made
Marie Marguerite FANNY, the most
beautiful woman ever arraigned in
British court who did not under
grow even more beautiful.
AS her case went on, and the
prosecuting attorney Numbered and
roared accusations charging her
with the murder of Ali Renal Fab
my Bey a wealthy Egyptian who
was her husband, she just listened
and smiled.
Her smile won. She was acouit-
ted. And soon she will be back
with her friends in France. ready
to forget it all.
But her case will not be forgot
ten in the British courts for a
long time. The loveliness of the
accused would alone have made it
stand out, but there are other fea-
lures which further distinguished
it.
Marie FANNY was the first typi-
cal Parisenne ever arraigned in a
British courst who did not under
stand word of English
Her case was the first IN which
Ia person accused of capital crime
sat in the dock and did not under
stand a word of the terrific ar
raignment pronounced by the at
torney for the prosecution.
Her case was the first in which
Ia French woman barrister ever ap-
peared, her role being to act as in
terpreter between the accused and
the English lawyers and witnesses.
Her case was the first in which
Egyptian lawyers ever sat with
briefs representing Egyptian inter
ested parties.
Her case was the first in which
the accused was able to produce as
a document for the defense a seal
ed letter written many months be-
fore in which she had put down
infinitely her fear of violence and
death at the hands Of her hus-
band
