A motion to substitute the name of

"In New York we do business in the

and Kiviat were so close together that
■their bodies seemed one man. James
E. Sullivan, who was standing at the
■wire, declared emphatically that Tabor
had finished second and Jones third,
but the official ruling gave Kiviat sec
ond place and Tabor third.
Stars and Stripes
Go Up Three Times.
The Yankees swept the boards in the
shot put final, getting all three places.
Ralph Rose, of the Olympic club of
San Francisco, was second, wflth 50.03
feet, which also topped his old record.
L. A. Whitney, a member of the supple
mentary list, was third. His mark was
44.06 feet.
There was a tumult of applause as the
Stars and Stripes were raised on all
three poles, signifying that the Ameri
cans had taken first, second and third
places in the shot put.
The defeat of the Americans by the
fleet Finnish runner did not cause any
great surprise as the American prac
tically conceded defeat. The Americans
who qualified for the final in the 5,000
meters were George V. Bonhag. T. O.
Bern a and Louis J. Scott.
This afternoon the haze turned to a
light rain, but the events were con
tinued without intermission.
America was an acknowledged fa
vorite in the 1,500-meter final event.
The Y’ankees who qualified and took
part in this event were Oscard F. Hed
lund, Boston A. A.; Walter MfClure,
San Francisco; Mel Sheppard, New-
York, Irish-American A. C.; Norman
R. Tabor. Brown university; Abel Ki
viat, New York Irish-American Ath

university, and Lewis C. Madeira, Uni

One of the most talked of athletes
competing here is Duke Kahanamoku,
of Hawaii, who is taking part in the
swimming competitions. So interested
has King Gustave become in the rec
ord-breaking water feats of the dark
hued American that he had a private
swimming match arranged in which
the Hawaiian went through a number
of different swimming feats in the
water.

MILEAGE SCRIPT
CALLED A FABCE
Methods of Railroads Attacked
at Final Hearing Before the
Railway Commission.
"I kept a record for seven weeks | n
traveling about Georgia and found that
an average of four minutes, even after
reaching the ticket window, was in
swapping mileage for tickets," sa'fl o'
J. Hollingsworth today, in testifying
before the railroad commission
“The penny script issued bv the ral’.
roads is a farce, a joke," said R s'
Broyles. "We pay J2O for a book llf
2.500 'pennies.' but the railroads -.v„ n ' t
accept them at face value betw»« n
non-competitive points. They puli n lit
twenty per cent more tjjan the amount
would be in cash."
These were two of the striking
charges made in the hearing today' of
the petition presented' by three organ!-
izations of traveling men, asking 'h a t
the roads be required to permit mile
age to be taken up on trains instead of
'forcing passengers to exchange mill
age for tickets at the windows. Ths
hearing was adjourned at 1 o’clock ani
resumed at 3. The case will be taken
under advisement by the commission
and a ruling made later.
The small audience room at the car
■itol was so jammed with lawyers of
ficials of the various railroads and
representatives of the United ComtnerE
rial Travelers. Travelers Protective as.
soclation and Georgia Travelers asso
ciation that late-comers were forced tn
stand in the hall outside. A dozen of
the most prominent railroad counsel in
the state were there to defend their
roads, and officers of the traveling
salesmen, plain members and onlookers
came in numbers..
Mayson Fights Battle Alone.
James L. Mayson, attorney for the
travelers, was pitted alone against th»
combined forces of the transportation
systems operating in Georgia, all of
which are defendants to the petition.
The travelers protested that the -sal
object of the Interchangeable mileage
'ls defeated, as they must g» to th?
■stations 30 minutes before train time
in order to exchange their mileage At
’the country stations, where the agent
must look after freight, express, bag
gage, telegraphy and train signals. a.>
well as sell tickets, the travelers are
often forced to board the trains with
out having been waited on bv the
harassed agent, and then the conduc
tors refuse to accept mileage and re
quire a cash fare, at an advanced rate.
The commissioners showed especial
interest in Mr. Hollingsworth’s state
ments that he had kept a detailed rec
ord of loss of time In the country sta
tions. and he agreed to put his notes
in the form of an affidavit and submit
'it as an exhibit in the case. He said,
in answer to a question from Com
missioner Gray, that separate ticket
windows for handling mileage would
’save from 50 to 75 per cent of the de
lay.
The alternative of providing sep
arate ticket windows, should it be
forced on the railroads, would entail
great expense on them, as it virtually
would mean an idle employee at every
station. A bill requiring the extra
•window and employee is before the
(house, with the provision that the
•roads permit mileage taken- on trains
as an alternative. In case the com
mission rules against the travelers
'they will carry the fight straight to the
legislature. i
