Charles Paddock, of the Pacific

many in the country who believe
that Murchison will lead the Olym.
pic champion to the tape when
they meet In the tryouts.
Murchison has just rounded out
one of his most successful indoor
seasons. Time after time he led
fast fields to the tape over the
board tracks and he easily retained
his national 60 and 800 yard in
door titles. In the last Olympic
games, Murckison was not at his
best, finishing sixth in the 100.
meter dash, but this year IL he goes
over, and it is practically certain
that he will, he will be counted on
quite as heavily as will Paddock

games.

prestige.
One Of the few runners to score
victory over Murchison during the
indoor season which has just closed
was Chester Bowman, the Syracuse
University Splinter. This athlete
has come forward as quickly as any
during the past indoor season, and
he is looked upon at Syracuse as
a successor to Allen Woodring, who
captured the 200.meter honors at
Antwerp in 1920.

GEORGE SHIRAS,
 FORMER JUSTICE, EXPIRES AT g
On Supreme Bench When 1894 Income Tax Was
 Held Void
(By Associated Press.)

PITTSBURG, Aug, ?. = George Shiras, Jr., justice of the United States supreme court from 1892 to 1903, died in hospital here today of pneumonia, which developed after he had fractured his leg in fall at his home here five weeks ago. He was 02 years old.
 Justice Shiras served as associate justice of the United States supreme coaFt iron, October, 1892. to February, 1903. when he retired on pay under the general voluntary retirement act, at the age of n years, He was one of the few justices that had not held public office prior to his appointment. He was practicing law in Pittsburg, Pa, where he was born January 26, 1882, when President Harrison invited him to . seat on the supreme bench.
 Enthusiastic College Man
 His collegiate education was obtain ed at Ohio university and at Yale. He remained an enthusiastic college man throughout his life, On one occasion it is remembered how jubilant he felt when, on leaving the supreme court one day, he was told that Yale had de- feated Harvard at football. Won't I rub it into Shorty Gray !" the dis tinguished jurist exclaimed, referring to his associate, Justice Gray. who was proud of his Harvard training.
 Probably the most important case be- fore the court during Justice Shiras' service was the decision on the income tax provision which Congress had at taehed Go the tariff act of 1894. The constitutionality of the provision was twice considered by the court, the first time when only eight justices were pres- ent and the members were equally di- yfded dNon several, points. In the second consideration the income tax was de- 'clared to be unconstitutional, because it taxed incomes on real estate and per- sonal property which the court held to be direct taxes, not allowable within the meaning of the constitution unless they were apportioned among the sev- eral states in proportion to their rep resentation in the House of Represent atiyes.
 Change Of Vote Denied
 The charge was made f6r time that it was Justice Shiras who changed his vote on the second consideration of the act, so that the entire tax was declared unconstitutional. This charge, however, was denied on the floor of the House of Representatives by John Dalzell from Justice Shiras' home district.
 Justice Shiras lived quiet, retired life after leaving the supreme court, spending his winters in Florida and his summers in Marquette, Mich. He at- tracted some attention in 1913 by an- nOuncing in m interview that mem bers of the court, when receiving SIP GOO, were paid enough, At the time, Congress was considering increasing the salaries, which was done. A son of Justice Shiras is George Shiras. III. a former member of Congress and noted as ans amateur photographer of wild animals.

FARLEY FAILS TO SOLVE
 IRISH BOUNDARY
Legislation Expected To Be Introduced To Force
 Adjustment

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Another effort to compose the critical differences be- tween the Irish Free State and Ulster ended without success today and It may remain now for the British government to introduce legislation which will force an adjustment of the boundary dispute.
 Representatives of the Free State and Ulster gathered in London today at the invitation of J. H. Thomas, colonial minister, but after two conferences, one in the morning and another in the aft ernoon, the delegates adjourned. No communique was issued and it was un- derstood they had failed to reach an agreement.
 Hazardous Step Planned
 It is forecast now that the labor gov ernment, early next week, will intro duce the fateful bill designed to enforce the Anglo-Irish treaty by compelling a territorial adjustment between the two ancient enemies-the north and south of Ireland. In taking this action, the labor government recognizes that it is negotiating a hazardous step, for the Troy richards will fight any move to reduce Listers territory and it is pre- dicted that a general election may fol- low.

HOEFN, Hornafjord, Icelands Aug 2.-Lieut. Erik Nelson and Lieut.. John Harding, Jr., his me- chanic, had better luck than their four companions who started with them from Kirkwall early this morning on the first lap of the homeward leg of their round-the- world flight, pushing through the heavy fog off the Orkney Islands and landing here at $40 o'clock this afternoon.
 The other four men-Lieuts Lowell H. Smith and his mechanic, Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold, and Lieut.. Leigh Wade and Sergt. A.

 Nelson lost the others in the fog soon after they left Kirkwall. Forced into spin, he flattened out just above the surface of the water and drove on, thinking the others were above him. More than an hour later he sighted Farce Islands and was able to take his course and carry on. He first sighted the Billingsley and as she wa5 steaming in the course of the flight, he took his course from her. He followed the same procedure when he sighted the Reid and the Raleigh.
 "The flight was all right after the first two hours" Lieutenant Nelson said, but it was nip and tuck at the start"

 Lieutenant Harding praised the new engine installed in the New Orleans at Brough, saying it performed we'll and gave no cause for anxiety. The avia. tors caught the first sight of land soon after they passed the Raleigh. They had no difficulty in finding the moor. ings that had been prepared for them.
