STOCKHOLM, -July 15. South Africa, .which heretofore played a rather modest part in the Olympic drama, came to the center of the stage at the moment of Its culmination yesterday, winning the mara thon race, the most Important number on the Olympic program. This might have i been honor enough for a small nation, but South Africa also won second- place by a secure lead, which was piling up; the glory. The winner of' the classical marathon was K. K. McArthur, a Transvaal police man, who has never yet been headed in a similar event His compatriot, C. W. Gitshaw, came second Into the stadium several hundred yards behind, and third to appear was the American, Gaston Stroblno of the South Paterson Athletic club, who put up a ' braver fight- than most, of the runners, for his feet were skinned and bleeding and he was suffer ing great pain. He never lost his nerve, though, and made a brave attempt at feeling happy .while he traversed the stadium track a furlong behind the second man at the end of the killing perform ance. : The time as announced was: McAr thur, 2 hours 36 minutes; Gitshaw, 2 hours 87 minutes; Stroblno, 2 hours 38 minutes fj seconds. Demonstrate Staying Power. The Americans certainly gave a death blow to the theory that the athletes of the United States are better at contests which require quickness and ability than In tests of endurance. While 30,000 specta tors, who were grilled on the stadium seats, strained their eyes toward the archway from 'under which the runners emerged, they saw the American shield on the breasts of six of the first ten men who entered. The names on this roll of honor are Stroblno, Andrew Sockalexis, Old Town; John Galllgher, Yale univer sity; Joseph Erxleben, Missouri Athletic club; Richard F. Plggott, North Dor chester Athletic association, ana josepn Forshaw, Missouri Athletic club. The American team numbered twelve and ten finished. The last of these was Thomas H. Lilley, North Dorchester Athletic asso ciation, who finished eighteenth. Two Americans fell by the wayside Thomas J. Ryan of the Irish-American Athletic club, who made a hard run and then succumbed to the heat, and John J. Reynolds of the same club, who fell out earlier. Swedish Runner Force Pace,' Sweden furnished another dozen to the race, and If their strength had been equal to their ambition they would have had a different tale to tell. They started at a great pace, but during the first few miles put forth all their powers and had nothing left when the final test came. Canada had no reason to be ashamed for two of its representatives, J. Duffy and W.. H. Forsythe, finished fifth and sixteenth, respectively. Canada's great hope, Corkerey, ran with Ryan for sev eral miles, and then gave up together. The tall Finn, Kolehmamen, another favorite, was outclassed. He took, the lead at the beginning, but Gitshaw caught b Ira at five miles and ran at his heels,.' iti: McArthur: -andj'F.; Ford;' of Great Britain! 'cir. te'mlmwe;tlien robbed him' o the leadership.- , ;- Two ' miles and a halt from" the; goal MeArthur went to ithe' front and "held the lead to the end.; He had completed the ' circuit " of the arena bef ore Gitshaw came under the' archway and 'he. fell 'to the ground exhausted.. 1 The spectators cheered him lustily, and as he lay-panting, Crown Prince 'Gustave Adolph came up and shook him by the hand and patted him on the back. . A small, party of South African anthusiasts had an enor mous laurel wreath ready in anticipation of .victory, of .which they were confi-, dent from the first They lifted the two green-jerseyed athletes on their should ers and slung the laurel over McArthur, carrying the pair- across the field. ' Half an hour later, after champagne had been opened in the dressing room, the African delegation again brought out the victors and bore them around the track, the band playing frantically. McGrath Firat in Hammer Throw. During the running of the marathon other events were being held. . M. J.

SPALDING, Sales Mgr., -309 South 13th Street Omaha, Neb. , -How Is this for a riddle T There is a little green : house; inside that green house is a white house; in side that white house is a red house and Inside the red house are lots of little black people. It must have been an agricultural archi tect like John Latcnser who concocted that conundrum, for who else but a man who spends most of his time mak ing plans ' for court houses, convention halls, school buildings, warehouses, stores and big residences could diagram a water melon as a series of encased houses or a row of flats? That's what our Architect Latenser does since he turned agriculturalist and started farming on a tract of land north of Florence. He doesn't tell anybody what he is raising out there, but a visitor in looking over his garden can easily tell it was planned by a drafts man, or probably a mathematician. An investigator recently digging In 7.1 inches), which beat . the former Olympic record made by the American, John Flanagan, at the London Olympic by more than nine feet but was about the same distance short of the world's record held by McGrath. The Canadian, D. Gillis, was second with a throw of 158 feet 9.1 inches, while the Ameri can, C.s C. Chllds, was third with 158 feet. The American, Simon P. Gillis, New York Athletic Association, collided with the hammer and was put out of the game. He' was borne away on a stretcher. The chief swimming erent of the day was the final in the 400 meters, free style, which the Canadian, George Hodg son, won with another world's record to his credit 5 minutes 24 seconds The Britisher, Hatfield, finished 1 sec onds behind him with Hardwlck of Australia third. The American runners easily won their heat with the German in the 1,600 meters relay race. They will meet the British and French teams tomorrow In the final Seven events have been concluded in the decathlon ' in which there are sev eral American entries. The great Marathon day was ushered in with a blazing sun and a high tem perature, which meant much put feting for the runners, particularly those from countries like v" the United Kingdom, where such weather is practically un known.

FAIRBURY, Neb., July 15.-(Special.) Stephen E. Mueller, general foreman of the Rock Island shops, was thrown off a gasoline motor car ' on the Rock Island bridge just west of Falrbury Sat urday and had two bones in the left leg below the knee fractured. He was trying the car with Road master J. J. Breheney. They were cross ing the bridge when the car Jumped the track and .Mueller's left foot was caught between the rails. He was taken to his home here and Dr. G. L. Pritchett set the fractured member. Another accident occurred when vlalter Shepherd at Lewlston was thrown down by a train and dragged on the ground. His left leg was broken below the thigh and the member badly torn below the knee and the toes of the right foot cut oft It is said he was standing between cars and a locomotive struck them. George Duncan, a Rock Island con ductor of this city, also sustained painful Injury at Stelnauer Wednesday and nearly had his left leg taken off. Owners of Paxton Hotel BuyJMurray? . Rumor has it that the proprietors of the Paxton hotel are negotiating for, and, perhaps, have bought the Murray hotel, immediately on the south across the" alley. The purpose of the purchase is said to be to transfer, the business' now taken care of in the Paxton to the Murray, while the old 'hotel la torn down to make way for a magnificent new hotel. The Murray hotel property was bought in a few years ago at what was prac tically a forced sale for 390,000 and the price mentioned in connection with this deal is $150,000. The Persistent and Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising is the Road to Business Success. " the dirt there' unearthed some cube roots. He found each one had been planted by a method, of triangulation, and set abso lutely plumb. Each measured exactly 2 " X 4 ' 2 ". Nearby the growing corn bore the ear marks of an architect and stood per pendicular with the horizon. By some Burbank method Mr. Latenser has made each stalk to resemble a church spire on which he has caused a cross to sprout. His watermelons are dead ringers for the new Douglas county court house. They haven't waxed full sise yet and one can't tell whether everything, in eluding the plumbing will come up to specifications, but the foundations, roof and entrances are all there. His radishes, lettuce, onions and other vegetables are ready for the table, hav ing grown true to the laws of perspec tive. And when everything becomes full grown Mr. Latenser's dream of an archi tectural farm undoubtedly will have been fully materialized. LORIHER WILL GO TO WORK Brief Announcement Says He Will Return to Chicago. FAST RECOVERING STRENGTH Deposed Senator Mar Ask Upper Chamber to. Reopen His Case on Ground Newly Fonnd Evidence. WASHINGTON, July 15.-"Wllllam Lorimer is going back to Chicago and going to work." That was the brief announcement made today in behalf of the man whom the senate yesterday stripped of his seat and title as Junior senator from the sover eign state of Illinois.. Whether he will re-enter politics and seek a vindication at the hands of the Illinois electorate, Mr. Lorimer has not decided. Some of his former colleagues in the senate have suggested that he seek a return to the seat in the house of representatives which he left when the Illinois legislature in 1909 sent him to the senate. But that his friends say, is at least two years away, as would be any effort to be returned to the senate. Mr. Lorimer would have to go before the people of Illinois in a pri mary and it is now too late to take part in this year's contest. Mr. Lorimer was out automoblling to day. Far from being the -care worn and crushed man he might be imagined, he appeared to be recovering the physical strength which was well nigh exhausted by his Impassioned Speech in the closing hours of his official defense. His clerks and secretaries spent the day clearing up personal effects. His rlgnt to an of fice In the handsomely furnished White Marble building expired with his title to his seat In the senate chamber. Since the fight in the senate became most active, Mr. Lorimer has been liv ing at a downtown hotel, having given up his quarters in the Young i Men's Christian association. He will ' remain there until probably the end of the week, when he will leave for Chicago. Any political move he may make probably will be determined only after conference with Elbridge Hanecy, the Chicago lawyer who has been his defender throughout the attacks upon him. Lorimer takes the view that he may ask to -have his case reopened on the ground of newly discovered evidence at any time he wishes. He feels that the senate in reopening his case after it had once declared his title valid established a precedent it cannot ignore. His closing words in the senate yesterday were that the "fight would go on and on while he lived." How he may propose to carry on the fight probably no one but himself knows. Since he walked out of the senate chamber yesterday he has barely men tioned his case, but has plunged into his personal affairs. The appointment of a successor, of course, depends upon Governor Deneen of Illinois. Th suggestion has been made that Deneen might resign and be ap pointed a senator by Lieutenant Gover nor Oglesby, who would succeed to the appointing power. St is understood that Lorimer, when the suggestion was men tioned to him, pronounced it unlikely. ' It is said that Lorimer' s longest com ment on the outcome of his fight was made when his colleague, the venerable Shelby M. Cullom, turned against him and voted for his unseating. Some One mentioned- Cullom's vote and Lorimer remarked simply: "I was disappointed." Charge of Buckshot is Stopped byBoy While Joseph Janowsky was about to turn in from the street to his home, Thirty-second and F streets, South Omaha, at 10 Sunday night, some one discharged a gun loaded with buckshot The weapon was aimed In the same dlrec tlon taken by Janowsky, and he is now finding it convenient and much more comfortable to take his meals off the mantlepiece. The only theory Is that Joe, who is a lad of 17, might have some jealous rivals in a love affair. The serv ices of a surgeon were necessary to pluck the leaden pellets from Joe's anatomy. SHICK LOSES VALUABLES WHILE ENJOYING SWIM J. P. Shlck, who takes an occasional dip In the cool waters of Lake Manawa, was robbed of tlO and a silver 'watch Sunday afternoon ' when ' a ' miscreant broke into bis locker room at the bath house and stole his deposit check, which was exchanged at the desk for Snick's package of valuables.

The dlreot examina tion of the 123 converted Koreans, who are charged with plotting against the government and the life of Count Terachi, the Japanese governor general of Korea, developed a most confusing situation. The preliminary examination began June 28, and a majority of the prisoners set up a denial of all the charges. In answer to the Judge's questions they said their previous statements before the police examiner were false and were made because they were beaten or threatened. A few of the prisoners ad mitted connection with an organization which had for its purpose the independ ence oi Korea.. ..Baron luncnmo, a former member of the .
