Probability that Alexandria city
will continue to appoint its city
attorney and collector, rather than
elect them, was seen today as petit
tionerS conteSting the special elec-
tion of June IA expressed conf
dence the referendum would be
declared invalid.
Those contesting the election,
on the the ground that some 1000
qualified voters were not permit
ted to enter the polls, point out
that in event the referendum is
declared invalid there is no pro-
vision for another.
A special legislative act was
passed by the last session of the
General Assembly to permit the
city to hold such a referendum on
the change of its charter and
specified that the election be held
June IA.
Should the election be declared
invalid, the petitioners explain
another vote on the issue could not
be held without another such act
of the Legislature. The next ses-
sion of the General Assembly is in
January of 1910.
The suit contesting the election
was filed in Corporation Court
here by Attorney j. Randall Cation
on behalf of Is Alexandrians seek

Harding said. In fact, I think

lone notable thing is that

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The. great
Glenn Cunningham romped of with
the National A. A. u. 1,500-meter
championship tonight with a world
record shattering performance. A
near-capacity crowd Of $4,000 in Mad
ison Square Garden gave Cunningham
an ovation as he raced to triumph in
5 minutes 4s.4 seconds for the metric
mile" beating Gene Venzke by IS
yards and wiping out the latter's for
mer mark OF 3:499, set in 1896.
Getting better as the season goes
along, Cunningham outclassed six ri
walls as he topped off record-smash-
ing championship program.
The former Kansan. competing for
the New York Curb Exchange A. A.,
took the pace-setting position from
Princeton's Pete Bradley on the first
lap and kept command throughout.
Once more his only rival was the
stop watch, but this time he gave it
beating on the same track where he
failed by only Y. second, 4 week ago,
to touch his own indoor mile record.
Cunningham's time for the metric
mile" has been exceeded only by Jack
Lovelock, the New Zealander, who won
the Olympic 1.500-meter final two
years ago In 3:47.8 at Berlin. Cum
ningham was runner-up to Lovelock on
that occasion and, oddly enough. was
clocked in time identical with his per-
formance tonight.
Cunningham Runs Alone.
The human running machine was
clocked in 6l6 seconds at the quarter,
2:04.8 at the half f-mile mark and
3:05c at the three-quarters on his way
to the new indoor record.
None Of the other runners even chal-
