IN CHOSEN TO HEM TffIERS Woman Loses Fight for the Nomination and Battle on Convention Floor. A motion to substitute the name of Miss Strachan for that of Fairchild was offered.

I have not been given fair play. I am here to get it. "I wish I had never come to Chi cago. I would have a better opinion of this city and some of its people if I had remained away. The Chicago people and the Illinois delegation at tempted to run this association. The organization ought to be called the Chi cago Educational Association instead of the name it bears." The statement was the signa! for cheers and hisses and for a time the convention was in an uproar. The vote was called for. however, and the mo tion lost. Then Fairchild was elected. Progressive members of the associa tion are confident of victory in thei” fight to change the by-laws so as to "democratize" the organization Secretary Irwin Shepard, head of the conservative lemcnt. was defeated In a stormy four-hour Session of the board of directors of the association. Shepard attacked the -ax'tion of Chicago teach ers at the meeting in Boston two years ago. when Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was elected president.

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.

"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 ton A. A.; second, C. C. Cooke, Cleve land A. C. Time, 21 9-10 seconds.
