The unfortunate scries of disputes which has arisen since the opening of the 'Olympic games not only between the Ameri cans and the officials of the Amateur Athjletlc Association, but between the athletes of ether nations and the same officials, culminated this afternoon In an occurrence which threatened- to wreck the Intcr-Oiympic meetings. The trouble was over the Una I heat of the 400-metre fliit race for which, J. C. Carpenter, Cornell University; J. B. Taylor, ' Irish-American A. C; W. C Bobbins, Cambridge, Mist., and Lieu tenant WJndam Halswelle, United Kingdom, qualified. With the excep tion of Taylor, the men got off quick ly on ths firing of the pistol, and Bobbins sprinted In front taking the pole from Carpenter, who was Just be hind with Halswelle trailing along be side him. THE FINAL 8PURT. It looked ltkenybody'a race as they approached "the last turn, the three h -adera being bunched. Their spurt for the final hundred yards was just -be gun when suddenly a number or oin- cials rushed onto the track, the tape across the finish was torn down and the race was declared void. It was hard for a time to understand what had occurred, but the official pro nouncement was that Carpenter fouled Halswelle at the turn. Everybody close to this spot had noticed that the three men had swerved toward the outside of the track as they cams around the bend at a terrific pace, buj there were no signs of a deliberate foul visible to those In the press stands. An uproar followed such as seldom or never was witnessed on an athletic field. Officials of the Amateur Ath letic Association with whom the are na has been fUled since the opening ef the games, ran along the edges et the track shouting "Foul," and ap peared even mors excited than the runners who, with ths exception of Taylor, continued the race to the fin ish. Carpenter passing th post first, Robblns second snd Halswelle third. Tay lor, who was considerable dis tance In the rear, was dragged off ths track by ons of ths excited .officials, who shouted all the while that it was. no race. s , ' The American contingents set up a yell of delight ss their man had ap parently captured the race which had been prophesied for the. Englishman, while the audience occupying the oth er stands sat silent not knowing ths cause of the excitement In the arena. RACE DECLARED VOID. -. ' Then the announcer mads the brief statement through megaphone that the race" had been declared void, but no reason was given. Still trot Trn-ow. Ing why, a great British cheer broke out and continued for several .min utes, men who could not under, any circumstances have seen the incident crying "Foul" louder than those sit ting opposite .the spot where the al leged foul was said to have taken place, and who seeing Halswelle tak ing a wide turn, thought it a mistake In liKTfmeet. as Me ha.i lots of room to pass Carpenter on either side, the uproar continued for nearly half an hour snd as the people poured oyt of the stands the arguments were taken up In the aisles and gateways by' excited thousands, and the race it still the subject of the bitterest wrang. ling everywhere. .. ,;' .'' '. .'.r' i ' MattheV p. Hatpin, the manager of the American team, who was In the arena. Immediately entered a protest claiming the race for Carpenter who had done .the distance according to unofficial watches .

When they Ibeard the decision the members of the American committee met and passed a resolution ordering the rm n not to run on Saturday.,- James E. , Sullivan, the. : American, commissioner to the games, and Bar tow 8. Weeks. J. B. McCebe, O-ustavus T. Klrby. Everett C. Brown and Alon-i so Stagg. members of ths 'American committee, sat in a room 4n their ho tel this evening, a most disgusted tot of Americans. Commissioner Sullivan was the spokesman,, and the , others upheld wtU he said. '"J "Carpenter at the crack ef the pis tol took the lead." said Mr. Sullivan, "and did the only thing he could do and win, and that was to take all the running out f Halewelle' In the first three hundred -yards. As a result, he gave the spectators the fastest 200 yards ever seen on the stadium. Tho 220 yards he covered "m 22 . seconds and at 300 yards he had Halswelle out Carpenter had the pole but he did not run close to It. He ran well out at the first bend, and coming to the second bend leading to the straightaway he ran wide, as he had a perfect right to do. Halswelle,, In stead ef taking advantage of this chance and cutting Into the post re mained In his old position. At that point probably 110 yards from home. Carpenter turned his head to see who was there, and then, swinging up the stretch, gave the English publlo a lis yards they had not seen equaled this week. Halswelle was all out beforo the stretch was reached and America, had found In Carpenter a wc-nder at this distance.! AN UNFAIR AFFAIR. ''' "Never In ijny life have I witnessed a scene that struck me as being so unsportsmanlike and ..unfair. When Carpenter started to leave Halswelle behind the official cried 'foql in uni son, and raised their hands and hats, "while the announcer ran around also yelling 'foul.'. r-t . -. .. . "They practically declared lt.no race without authority.- There v was but -one man In the arena who" hadi authority to do that, amd he wss the referee. Ths referee did not do so, but a lot -of excited officials ran about screaming 'foul' and no race' and U was their decision that was announced. "If the officials conducting tho Olympic sports had any spirit of good fellowship and had treated our boys and officials ss ws would tmvs treated them If they had gone to America, our men would have gone out end run tho ' race over again; but they have : not. The race was as fair as any race ever run." - - AMERICANS WILL- PROTEST. The forma) announcement of - the -American commltteeia as follows: "We have decided to protest the de cision as unjWpand because the off!- -eta. Is declared 'no race' without con sideration." Ths American committee further announced to-night that ' although ' Carpenter and Robblns would not get the Olympic medals, they would re ceive medals from the American com mittee and they ': would be- credited with their win In America. .

'he said. "In view of, the statements In the morning papers that Halswelle had been pocketed at Athens and that to day's race would be watched by the people. It Is fair to assume, there fore, that the audience was ready to' denounce an American victory In the 400-metre race and that the of ficials' were Influenced by this fact." , Carpenter, a bright : and quiet (Continued en Page .Ten).: BEACH
