EXPERT WOMEN
T TO
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19. — If
plans, now in the making, are carried
out, the two fastest women swimmers
in the world will make a tour of the
United States and compete in various
open events.
These women are Miss Fanny Dur
ack and Miss Mina Wylie. Both hail
from Australia, and between them
they hold every world's women’s swim
ming record Miss l)uraok holds the
world's record for the 100-yard event
at one minute and six seconds. The
best time that American girl swim
_. mors have been able to achieve in
this distance is about two seconds
slower. The Australian champion is
particularly noted for her wonderful
consistency. She always approximates
her own record. She has never yet
been beaten.
Miss Wylie specializes in the breast
stroke, and has a world's record of
1:28 for 100 yards. The only woman
who has ever defeated her is Miss
Duraek. Both were entered in the
swimming events at the last Olympiad
held at Stockholm, Sweden, in 1912,
and won every event in which they
competed against the fastest swim
mers of the world.
DANCERS WILL BE OUT
IN FORCE TONIGHT.
The dance at the Eagle hall tonight
will be the means of attracting a large
number of young people, who always
enjoy attending these weekly affairs.
Of course there will be good music,
and if you want to spend a couple of
hours pleasantly drop in at Eagle hall
tonight.

8UIT TO RECOVER DAMAGES.
—
A suit to recover $24,093 has been i
filed In Portland against the Sanftar- 1
turn Company there, and naming Dr.
Henry Waldo Coe and Viola May Coe
as defendants. The suit was filed by
Mrs. Sanford Zuckerman, and asks for
$20,000 damages and $4,093 for wages 1
' lost while she was confined in the j
Mornlngside institution, having been
committed there by the Alaskan
courts.
Mrs. Zuckerman was sent to the
I asylum from Otter precinct on Sep
tember 8, 1911, and was released as
cured on September 1, 1914. A search
of the records in the governor's office ;
shows that Mrs. Zuckerman was suf- '
fering from an attack of paranlc, and \
was laboring under the delusion that
she was being persecuted. At the
time of her release she was taken in
charge by the Ladles’ Jewish Society
of Portland.
Mrs. Zuckerman was a trained nurse
and claims that she could have earned
$25 a week during the time of her
confinement and also claims that her |
general health suffered from her con- I
finement.
