Antwerp, Aug. 20. .Tov wna
sprinkled with sorrow for tno Ameri
cans In tho final Olympic events nt the
stadium today. - ;
In three championship performances'
the United State athletes clustered
twenty-six points nud boosted Ljnclc
Snm's totnl't'o 111 points, a margin of
cighty-sixpolntd over England, the ec-ontl-plneef
team, and Allen -Woodring,
ot tho Mcadpwbrobk Club," of Philadel
phia, raised' tho Stars and Stripes to
first plncoin the? 200-mctcr dash, but
Ted Meredith, tho idol oflrnck follow
ers on this sldo of the Atlantic', ns well
aa across the big stretch, failed in his
attempt to como back.
Meredith didn't even reach the flnalof
tho 400-meter race, which was won
by n. G. D. Itudil, tho famous South
African runner, who was anchor man
on the Oxford-Cambridge relay team
which set now world's figures at tho
University of Pennsylvania relay games
in Philadelphia. Itudd's time was
40 U-5 seconds, 1 2-5 seconds slower
than the record.
Eliminated in Semifinal
The Peerless Ted, ns he was known
in his zenith dnys, was eliminated in
the second semifinal heat. In this trial
he finished fourth to Frank Shea, of the
United States navy, who took fourth in
the final, being tho only American to
score in this event.
Shea's time in the semifinnl was 50
seconds flat. Two yenrs of service with
the American forces during the war
took too much from the former king of
middle-distance runners. Four years
aco he created tho world's best figures,
47 2-5 seconds for 440 yards, which
Is even more than 400 meters. And to
day he didn't beat 51 seconds for some
thing over 437 yards. Meredith's
world's records In tho 880-yard event
and tho SOO meters still stand.
Tho victory of Woodrlng was' beyond
ilnnh- tin. prrntpst surnrise of the meet.
jt -ivnn, tinned hnfc.thft Phlhulclohta hov
score, hut only one ot tnose "i-ioiu-you-so"
individuals would claim now
that a triumph was predicted for tho
Syracuse freshman.
Fifth First Placo
Woodring's time was 22 seconds flat,
which Is ouly two-fifths of a second in
back of the record. His win was tho
fifth first placo gnincd by America, and
evened up the triumphs gained by Eng
land. American Bprintcrs came through
with fifteen points, only one less than
were gained in the 100-meter event.
Charlie Paddock, who was an odds-on-favorite
to win, finished becond, nnd
Lorcn Murchlson. of the New York A.
0., fourth. Paddock, who represents
the Los Angeles A. C, is the Olympic
100-meter champion. Murchlson was
sixth in the century. Morris Kirkscy,
of the Olympic Club, of San Frnn
cisro, wns eliminated in tho semifinals.
Woodrlng gained a victory in the
semifinnl. bentlng Paddock to the tape
in 22 1-5 seconds. It was said that
Paddock conohed Woodrlng to the wire,
but tho tables were turned in the final.
Woodrlng jumped Into the lead at the
start nud held it tho full distance, de
feating Paddock by n yard with tho
latter two nnd one-half yards ahead of
Edward. Edward just nosed out
Murchlson for third place in the final
100 nrds. Forty yards from the tape
tin. iliriin Americans wero leadiue the
field, hut Murchlson was unnmc to stave
n(T Edward's savage drlvo nt tho Hnish.
With Woodring's triumph nil of the

scored points for America. Harold Bar

BROTHERS SAY "THE CRANK"

Two brothers of Augusto Pnsquale,

The brothers nie Julius Pnsquale, of
Morgoutown, N. C, nnd Henry Pns

Shown n photograph of their brother
nnd a newspaper clipping relating de
tails of his nrrest, the two brothers
shook their bends, tlirugged their
shoulders nnd declared that they hnd
chosen different paths from their brother
nt the time they set foot on American
soil from Italy.
"Augusto would not come with us
to Vuldez, where wo wero assured work
among friends wo hnd known in Italy."
snld Henry PiiNquule. "The swiftly
moving life of New York, the glamour
of tho night life ami the posblbllitlcs of

pealed more to him than an opportunity
to settle down to a life of patient in
dustry in n small village.
Heard Through Newspapers
"Wo argued ngainst his staying in
New York. It wns tho parting of the
ways. Julius and I came to Valdez,
never to see our brother again. Wo only
heard of him from time to time" through
newspaper accounts which traced the
progress of a criminal career.
"Augusto's curly life was as, ours,"

has been nbundnntly nud decisively held
that the fifteenth amendment nullified
nny constitutional or statutory pro
vision denying to nny ono the right of

we must conclude, that the nineteenth
amendment renders nugntory nny pro

Fifteenth Amendment
"The fifteenth amendment o the fed

"The right of citizens of tho United
States to voto shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
nny state on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude.
"The legal effect of tho adoption of
this amendment was to strike out of
the state constitutions nnd laws all
provisions which confined suffrage to the

The nineteenth amendment is word
ed in lauguagc similar to tho fifteenth :

Marlon, O., Aug. 20. Senator
Harding's speech yesterday wns the
speech of n man who feels hci does not
hnve to make a fight. Ono would hnve
"supposed, hearing him roll out periods
from his fronfcporcb, that the last thing
he had. to- think, nbout-wfts votes.
Little campaign orators all over the
land who look to tho chief campaign
orators' speeches for Inspirations for
names to call the enemy, will be dis
quieted. Whcro will they get their am
munition? Thcro were no nhmrs in the
speech. There were no populur flings;
no nppenls to prejudice.
Governor Cox, hnving got off his
formal speech of acceptance, which
Irked him, announced his "strnight
inekct" wns off, nnd forthwith called
his rival tho trained animal of the
senatorial rlug tied to his front porch
by his masters. He had called the Re
publican candidate the leader of the re
actionaries in Ohio, who had pro
nounced the workmen's compensation
law of that state revolution.
Mr. Harding replies with a dignified
disquisition on the legislative functions
in government. For Mr. Harding's ad
dress was a reply to his rival and evi
dently to any one who had followed the
latter attacks, took cognizance of his
rival's speeches.
Rarely Recognizes Cov
Tho nearest the speaker came to
recognizing that some one wos seeking
tho presidency beside himself was when
ho declared of Ohio's reforms, claimed
by Cox as his own:
"Much is baid from time to time
concerning, the , progressive progrcsa of
the stnto of Ohio, nnd very frcnuentlv
credit hns been unduly claimed by the
executive who happened to he in power
nt the time tho reforms were registered.
As n mere matter of justice tho fact
ought to be stated that most of theie re
forms have come through the leader
ship of Houso nnd Sennte, nnd in many
instances they have been wrought
through tho party in power which was
of opposite political persuasion from
that of tho executive, who hns claimed
for himself the greater1 nan of the
credit."

They were substantially the samo ns

Stated orders for the conference were

ngainst Polish efforts to drag 'the ne-'

A wireless dispatch from Berlin,
quoting Mitif,k ndvices, last night re
ported Polish delegates,bad refused to
accept the Soviet demand for dis

today's advices, however, to indicate
thnt negotiations had reached this
stage.

Generol Weygund told delegations nt

he was the most popular man in Poland
nnd was proclaimed by all as the "sa
viour of AA'arsaw."
Advices received here from the Polish
capital quote Genernl AVeygnnd, in hlsj
loipon-o to the delegations, as follows:
"Piepnriitory military operations
were executed bv the Polish generals
according to tho Polish plan. M role,
as well ns thnt of the other French
officers, wos limited to filling certain

"This magnificent victory consolidates
the Polish state, whose existence is In
dispensable to France's existence. Ger
many, which hnd hoped to resumo di
rect lelntions with the Soviets and to
tlirow Red armies ngainst the enemy
across the Rhine, must renounce for
the moment such menus of annulling tho
