Nurmi and Ritola Finish First and Second in Cross Country Race
COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 12—Finland and the United States divided honors today in the Olympic games track and field events, the Finns gathering 32 points to ten ror the United States.
Results of the decathlon, however, will increase the American total. Though the final result of the decathlon will not be announced until tomorrow, H. Osborne, of the Illinois A. C., won first place in the unofficial results and Emerpon Norton of Georgetown University was second. This adds 15 points to the United States total and practically insures them of final victory.
The only events remaining on the program are the 400 metre relay, the 16,000 metre relay, the 10,000 metre walk, the discus, the modern pentathlon the decathlon, and the 3000 metre team race.
The Finns are not qualified and the Americans can hardly relinquish the substantial point total they now hold.
The United States had a lead of 60 points over the Finns, the score standing: United States 194; Finland 128.
COLOMBES STADIUM, France July 12—World's records in the 400 metre relay fell hard and often in the Olympic stadium this afternoon and when the cinder dust had settled Uncle Sam walked off the field with a new record of 41 1-5 seconds, a full second faster than the record established by the American team in Antwerp in 1920.
This performance came after the British four had knocked a fifth of a second off the record by flashing over the track in 42 seconds flat and after the Holland sprinters had equalled the British mark. The Swiss team had won its heat in 42 1-5 and things looked gloomy for the Stars and Stripes.
Alf Leconey, former Penn state star, Louis Clarke of John Hopkips, Francis Hussey, New York school boy, and Loren Murchison, national sprint champion, emerged with the final record after the most hectic series of relays in the world's athletic history—a period of half an hour which saw the old record of 42 1-5 seconds beaten four times.
When all events in the decathlon have been reduced one cent a gallon in N. J. W. V., Maryland, D. of C. and a half cent in S. C.
The Gulf Refining Co. also reduced gasoline prices 1 cent a gallon today and reduced kerosene half cent a gallon.
MCADOO WILL SUPPORT DAVIS
NEW YORK, July 12.—William Gibbs McAdoo today broke his silence on political matters, styled John W. Davis as a "progressive" and urged his followers to support him in the coming presidential election.
Admitting that there had been some doubt as to Davis' progressivism because of his association with "big hanking houses and corporation interests" McAdoo said that such doubts were unjustified. A lawyer, he declared, is to be no more judged by his clients than a physician by his patients.
McAdoo's statement was given out by him at the dock just before he sailed for Europe.
Mr. Davis and I have been friends for twelve years and I had the pleasure of discussing the political situation with him yesterday. McAdoo said.
"The great body of progressive Democrats who supported me so strongly in the convention have been anxious to know what my attitude was toward Mr. Davis' candidacy, and my visit was for the purpose of learning from Mr. Davis direct his views on important issues before the country.
"I am satisfied he is in full accord with the progressive program outlined in the Democratic platform."
Mr. Davis' professional connections and associations with great banking houses and corporate interests which are concededly ethical in every way, have raised doubts in the minds of many as to his progressivism and his complete sympathy with the great reforms the Democratic party must carry out if it is to serve the genuine interests of the people.
"These doubts are not justified because a lawyer's views on economical, political and social questions has been reduced one cent a gallon in N. J. W. V., Maryland, D. of C. and a half cent in S. C."
Fleischmann Will Grant Divorce So She May Wed Polo Player
PARIS, July 12.—Petition for divorce has been filed in Seine tribunal by a "Madam Fleischmann' who is believed to be Mrs. Dolly Fleischmann, wife of Julius Fleischmann, millionaire American yeast manufacturer New York and Cincinnati, it was learned this afternoon.
Before news of the divorce action became public, a report has been received from New York that Mr. and Mrs. Fleischmann agreed to separate.
NEW YORK, July 12.—Julia Fleischmann, millionaire year king, former mayor of Cincinnati will not contest the divorce she brought by his second wife Paris, it became known today with the return of Fleischmann from Europe, where he accepts service in the suit. He will set $5,000,000 on her and permit her to wed Jay O'Brien, polo player was said.
Both Mrs. Fleischmann and O'Brien are now in Paris who it is reported, Fleischmann she and came to the conclusion that the pair truly loved each other.
Mrs. Fleischmann, who is yeast king's second wife, was divorced wife of Louis Henning silk millionaire, and O'Brien made two previous matrimonial ventures, having been the head band of Mae Murray, film star and Irene Fenwick, actress.
The romance between O'Brien and Mrs. Fleischmann started year ago when O'Brien went Fleischmann field as a member of a polo team.
Rumor many times in the intervening months has linked names of the pair, Mrs. Fleischmann and O'Brien, but it was until three weeks ago that this definitely came to a head. Ms Fleischmann left for Paris having been much in the company of O'Brien. A week later O'Brien also sailed for Paris and he turn was followed by Fleischmann.
Fleischmann, however, remained only long enough to interview his wife and his youthful rift then booked passage for Amea and returned on the Bergenan.
With the reported announcement of Fleischmann's intention not to contest the suit of his end wife, rumors persisted that may soon effect a reconciliation with his first wife, Mrs.
British mark. The Swiss team had won its heat in 42 1-5 and things looked gloomy for the Stars and Stripes.
Alf Leconey, former Penn state star, Louis Clarke of John Hopkins, Francis Hussey, New York school boy, and Loren Murchison, national sprint champion, emerged with the final record after the most hectic series of relays in the world's athletic history—a period of half an hour which saw the old record of 42 1-5 seconds beaten four times.
When all events in the decathlon had been completed the unofficial count showed Osborne in first place with 7710 points.
Rainand won the cross country team race, their wonderful pair, Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola, finishing first and second. The United States took second place in the team score, landing third, sixth and eighth places with Earl Johnson, of Pittsburgh, Arthur Sudenroth and August Faeger of New York.
Nurmi set a terrific pace and won fresh without sprinting. He was 200 yards in front of Ritola, who was a like distance in front of Johnson.
At the close of this event the United States had a point score of 194 against 128 for Finland, the little nation adding 25 points in the race.
When the judges finished totalling up the points in the cross country team race, the Finnas, as expected, placed first with 11 points, the United States second with 14, and Fred Alrd with 20.
The Americans qualified for the 400 metre relay final tomorrow and the 1600 metre team also easily qualified with Canada, England, Italy, France and Sweden. The Americans won their heat, defeating the Canadians by 25 yards in three minutes, 27 seconds.
Outside of the hop, step and jump and the cross country run, the only other final today to be decided is the decathlon, in which H. M. Osborne of the Illinois A. C. and Emerson Norton of Georgetown, were first and second at the end of six events, with the discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500 metre run yet to be contested.
(Continued on Page Eight)
"Mr. Davis' professional connections and associations with great banking houses and corporate interests which are concededly ethical in every way, have raised doubts in the minds of many as to his progressivism and his complete sympathy with the great reforms the Democratic party must carry out if it is to serve the genuine interests of the people.
These doubts are not justified because a lawyer's views on economical, political and social questions are no more to be judged by his professional associations than is a physician to be judged by the character of his patients.
Mr. Davis should be judged by his own opinions—not those of his clients, and by the impression of sincerity and ability he creates in the public discussion of issues.
Mr. Davis' high character, integrity and service should satisfy any apprehension of this sort. I am confident that, as president, he would faithfully executive the party's progressive mandate. If I did not believe this, I could not render aid, because I have always believed that the interests of the people should never be subordinated to a slavish partisanship.
There is a deep seated determination on the part of the progressive forces in the Democratic party and those outside of it desiring to co-operate to force prompt and decisive action on the part of the next administration for solution of the pressing problems of agriculture, transportation, tariff, taxation and foreign relations which have been so horribly manhandled by the Republican adminstration.
"The influence and power of these progressive forces must not be dissipated by dissension between various political movements. They must rather be consolidated and used like an irresistible battering ram that party which offers the best instrumentality of service to the people. Clearly there is no progress in the Republican party; clearly there is progress in the Democratic party.
"The hope of genuine reform and progress is more likely to be realized at this time through the Democratic party than through any of its opponents."
"I shall, therefore, give the Davis Bryan ticket my cordial support and shall take part in the (Continued on Page Eight) having been much in the company of O'Brien. A week later O'Brien also sailed for Paris and he turn was followed by Fleischmann.
Fleischmann, however, remained only long enough to interview his wife and his youthful rite then booked passage for America and returned on the Berengani.
With the reported announcement of Fleischmann's intention not to contest the suit of his on-wife, rumors persisted that may soon effect a reconciliation with his first wife, Mrs. Fleischmann. Fleischmann divorced from her in 1920 she received $2,000,000 doffer and other gifts from him.

For Long Flight
WASHINGTON, July 12.
A new world's record for sustained flight by seaplanes was established today by the naval bonner C. S. 2.
The plane, piloted by Lieuts. F. W. Wood and John D. Price was in the air from 3:20 p.m. yesterday until 6:30 a.m. this morning. The official flying time, according to the navy department was 15 hours 10 minutes, which breaks all previous flying records for planes of that type.
It was first announced by the navy department that the C. S. 2 had failed to break the record but this was later found to be inaccurate and another announcement was made.

CLAIMS TRIO WILL HANG FOR BLAST
SANTA BARBARA, July 12—The confession is to be told on the witness stand by Harvey Stonebarger, well driller, that he witnessed the bombing which killed J. J. Maguire, village blacksmith, of Los Olivos, in his home will send three Los Olivos residents to the gallows, district attorney Clarence Ward asserted here today.
Ward said that Stonebarger will tell in testimony Monday that he was given 12 sticks of dynamite by W. H. Downs, postmaster, who, with his aged father, Taylor Downs, and W. F. Crawford, are accused of the blacksmith's murder.
He will testify, according to Ward, that he gave the dynamite to Crawford near the old Santa Ynez mission and that Crawford then told him;
"Well, Harvey, you have done your part!"
Stonebarger will clinch the prosecution's case, the district attorney declared with his testimony that he watched Crawford touch the lighted end of his cigar to a long fuse which went thru a tunnel leading from the postoffice to beneath the old blacksmith's shop and home, adjourning the postoffice.
Stonebarger, Ward said, will then testify that he fled to his home before the dynamite charge exploded, wrecking the shop and tearing a leg and an arm from the old blacksmith and injuring him so horribly that he died the following day in a Santa Barbara hospital.
THIS WEEK
Eastern Market is Fairly Satisfactory Except on Small Sizes
Approximately 335 cars of citrus fruit were shipped from No. Orange-co. this week. This is an improvement of some 85 cars over last week.
Prices this week have been steady, with larger sizes improving somewhat.
Anaheim alone shipped approximately 100 cars, Fullerton, not including C. C. Chapman or Bastanchury Ranch Co., 81 cars, and Plancentia 37. All of these totals are higher than last week when houses were closed two days or longer. The Union Pacific shipped seven cars against three last week for the Fay Fruit Co. here.
The markets are in good condition, according to Manager William Webster of the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n. Eastern fruit is coming in now for the first time in any quantity, and its competition may be felt. However, reduction in shipments because of the smaller crop estimate will tend to hold prices firm. Small sizes, if kept on the tree, as they may be in many cases, should ultimately net the grower $1.00 a box. Only 10,000 cars all told remained to go from California July 1.
The demand for orange juice from Webster's house continues in excess of supply. Two hundred gallons per day is being shipped to Los Angeles, where a distributing concern is looking after it; and 150 gallons is distributed in Orange-co. Webster's Riverside house is supplying Riverside and San Bernardino-cos.
The juice is providing a market for small size oranges that haven't been profitable to handle on the eastern auction markets.

FLAMES
While 22-mile Front Has Been Burned Over Loss Has Not Been Great
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12—All but one and a half miles of a ten mile front of the forest hill divide fire in the Taboe national forest was lost today when a roaring wind rushed down upon the smouldering area, fanning it into a conflagration that threatens thousands of acres, it was reported today by the U. S. foresters' office.
More than 100 men were rushed to the vicinity and the force at work in the area now totals 300.
LOS ANGELES, July 12—"Criminal foolishness" on the part of some persons as yet unknown, sent the fire which has been raging in Santa Barbara National Forest, roaring on a fresh career of destruction at noon today, utterly beyond the control of the hundreds of men who had been massed along the 16 mile blazing front by state and federal officials.
The new outbreak, according to word here from C. E. Jordan, supervisor of the forest, was caused by a back fire, set five miles away from the blaze.
As a result, scores of ranches are in grave peril, while forestry officials express grave doubt that the hundreds of expensive summer cabins, together with the exclusive headquarters of the Tweedy Gun Club at King's Canyon can be saved from the red tide of disaster.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12—All forest fires which have been raging in the Santa Barbara, Sequoyah and Taboe National forests were reported controlled today with excellent prospects of extinguishing them completely if the favorable wind holds, a statement issued by the United States district foresters' office declared.
But one new fire, near Shasta Springs, was reported.
This blaze although now burning uncontrolled in spite of the rushing of 100 men to the line will not prove serious unless it jumps the Sacramento River, it was said. Officials were fearful it might cross the stream as a high wind was throwing falling embers scores of feet in advance of onrushing flames. More than 500 acres have been burned over.

See Dr. Neth, 113 N. Resh, Chiropractic and Electric Treatments.
This blaze although now burning uncontrolled in spite of the rushing of 100 men to the line will not prove serious unless it jumps the Sacramento River, it was said. Officials were fearful it might cross the stream as a high wind is throwing falling embers scores of feet in advance of the onrushing flames. More than 500 acres have been burned over.
The bringing under control of the disastrous Santa Barbara forest fire was being hailed with jubilation today by tired workers who have spent the past two days in making ineffectual efforts to stem its advance.
Continuation of the favorable wind which is forcing the dying conflagration back over burned areas will definitely stamp it out, officials reported.
With the exception of the north line of the Bull Run fire in Sequoyah National forest which is causing workers considerable trouble, the blaze is in excellent condition. Two hundred workers were relieved from duty when the flames began to subside.
A check up of the damage wrought in this blaze revealed that 25,000 acres of fine timber and brush land have been destroyed.
Other sections of the state were being carefully watched for arsonists who are believed to have started at least two of the forest and brush fires of the past two weeks.
FOREST FIRES INCREASE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—With more than 11,000,000 acres of federal forest reserves closed to the public in California as a result of series of disastrous forest fires which today are increasing in intensity, Paul G. Redington, district forester, today announces that rewards totaling $500 will paid for the arrest and contion of fire bugs whom he speca have been responsible for least two of the blazes.
Three men are under arrest Newhall on suspicion of incapacity.
Redington also announced his department was closing 2,000,000 additional within the next few days to fort to prevent incipient careless persons from careless state forest crimes.
