PADDOCK WINS SPECIAL DRAKE STADIUM, Des Moines, Iowa, April 26—Charles Paddock, the world's fastest sprinter who yesterday ran the 100 yard dash in 9.6 second, tying his own world record, today won the 125-yard special dash under a 4-yard handicap in 12 flat at the fifteenth annual Drake relays. Officials were at a loss, however, in determining the time. The watches ran from 11.9 seconds to 12al so 12 flat was agreed upon. Young of Drake ran a close second and Everingham of Iowa, came third. The track, at the time of the dash, was in a spongy condition, being in the process of drying by a brilliant sun which broke through the clouds after a morning of rain. Paddock was helped to his dressing room and attendants said that the muscle in his left leg was pulled but that his injury was not serious. RADIO FANS DISPLAYING INTEREST Radio fans are displaying much interest in the proposal to form a local organization to compare notes. Wm. Reed, of 208½ So. Illinois st., listener-in, who suggested the organization, is planning to call a meeting at an early date. His phone number is 574 but he asks that those interested drop him a line as he is not always at home. "Folks may wonder why I am taking this step," says Reed, who describes himself as an ordinary working man, acting as foreman on several local construction jobs and who invites anyone interested to look up him. "Well, I waited a year for somebody to do it, and realizing that somebody had to make a move, I did it." Reed insists that to get the co-operation of such people as "Uncle John" of the Times, it must be kept at all times a strictly amateur proposition, with no taint of commercialism about it. He believes that aside from much mutual benefit that will come from an exchange of ideas, such an organization can do much for the general uplift of radio broadcasting. "We can help the broadcasters, and they can help us," he says. "The organization can also find mutual benefit in co-operating with Colonel Dillon, government radio inspector for this, the sixth district. It can also be of assistance to the U. S. Dept. of Commerce in policing the air. WIFE MOVES FOR WASHINGTON, April 26.—Representative Theodore E. Burton Ohio, was selected today by President Coolidge and his campaign managers to serve as temporary chairman of the Republican national convention in Cleveland June. Burton will deliver the "keynote" address to the convention thus sounding to delegates the fundamental points upon which the party will direct its campaign to elect Mr. Coolidge to the presidency. The selection was made at the White House at a conference between the president, John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, and David W. Mulvane, chairman of the sub-committee on arrangements for the convention. The sub-committee which meets in Cleveland next Monday has among its chief tasks the duty of naming the temporary chairman of the convention, and will make short work of ratifying the president's choice of Congressman Burton, Mulvane said. The selection of the permanent chairman will be decided by the convention itself, but it is not expected that Burton will hold both posts. Representative Burton has held a commanding position in the councils of the Republican parties for more than thirty years. He has always been considered "regular" from the organization standpoint, and he is a skilled orator. Fully capable of delivering an old-fashioned Republic can speech to start this off at Cleveland, which is his home town. A lawyer by profession, Burton first served as a member of the house of Representatives in 1888 and from 1905 until 1918 he was a member of the United States Senate from Ohio, returning to the lower house in 1920. Burton is now a member of the American debt funding commission, having been appolated by the late Persident Harding and as an indication of his continued involvement in public service.

Real, Grim Tragedy Marks Death of Mrs. Frank Keenan LOS ANGELES, April 26.—Grim, real life tragedy as dramatic as anything ever conceived by a playwright marked the death last night of Mrs. Frank Keenan at the theater of the Writers' Club in Hollywood, while her noted actor husband was scoring a tremendous success in the premiere presentation of a comedy with the motif of "what's the use of glory if the one you love is gone." Mrs. Keenan was stricken while in the audience at the moment her husband, in his role on the stage, pointed to a painting of his dead wife and bitterly lamented that she was not with him to share the fame that had come after years of hardship. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. Mr. and Mrs. Keenan were married in Boston 40 years ago. She was not a professional.

ARMY FLIER REACHES CHIGNIK CHIGNIK, Alaska, April 26.—After one of the most thrilling experiences in the history of aviation in which man and machine successfully battled the furies of the elements, Major Frederick L. Martin, commander of the American round-the-world flight, succeeded in reaching here safely in his flagship plane "Seattle." The flight from Kanatak here was made in a blinding snow storm against a stiff southeast gale. Major Martin will fly from here to Dutch harbor at the earliest possible moment and join the other three planes there. "We are anxious to get under way again" he declared. "The wait at Kanatak was very trying and we want to get going again as soon as possible/" Major Martin has been maroohed at Kanatak, little Standard Oil exploration camp, north of Portage Bay for more than a week. He was forced down in Portage Bay while enroute from Seward to Chignik by a leaky crankcase and forced to wait at Kanatak after his rescue by the destroyer Hull, the arrival of a new engine from Dutch harbor. With the new engine's arrival the weather turned bad. Kanatak became the center of a cauldron of winds. Day after day went by without a sign of "flying weather". Yesterday Major Martin determined to make the start and arising at 3 a.m. found the tide in sufficiently to float the big aircraft from its retreat in Kanatak creek to the outer bay. With the entire community as his aides, by 12:30 thru the use of a Standard Oil tractor a cut had been made in the bar sufficiently deep to pull the plane. CHARGED Costs Dollar at San Diego San Bernardino and Imperial-co. Line Charging of a flat fee of $1.00 per person for fumigation, now in effect in San Diego and Imperial-co., was a new development today in the war on the foot and mouth epidemic. The dollar fee is understood to be the uniform amount in fact to be asked wherever the fumigating is done. Orange-co is doing no fumigating except in Santa Ana, where a tent 12 by 12 by 26 capable of containing the largest loads, is used when thought necessary. The tent is fully equipped and ready at a moment's notice. Los Angeles-co is doing no fumigating, so far as A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, knows, and fumigation of blankets, etc. at Whittier is said not to be under Los Angeles-co direction. The fee there is 50 cents. San Bernardino-co may start fumigating tomorrow, when the fee would be $1.00. The railways, contrary to reports, are not fumigating and do not intend to do so. The Santa Fe had planned to fumigate in San Diego co-next Monday, but changed its intention. Washing of hands, stepping into solution, etc. is the most that will be required.

The question was repeated again and again, the court's interest appearing to center on that one point. The former register clerk answered that it hadn't occurred to him to get a witness since Findlay himself was a prisoner.

Expect Veto of Bonus and Japanese Exclusion Plan ASHHINGTON, April 26.—President Coolidge will veto the soldiers bonus bill and new immigration bill because the Japanese exclusion provisional appeared likely today.

With respect to Japanese exclu- sion, the president is hopeful that some way can be found to carry out the wishes of congress for barring the Orientals and at the same time avoid offending the Japanese government thru the abrogation of the "gentleman's agreement." Coolidge may ask congress to take some of the sting out of the exclusion provision and to give Secretary of State Hughes an opportunity to limit Japanese immigra- tion by treaty.
