Sensational Termination of . College boat
Race.
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2S-The
features of yesterdays boat races were
the exciting contest between Cornell and
Columbia and the sensational collapse of
the Columbia crew the instant they crossed
the finish line. When they stopped row.
ing six of them-Bradley, No. l; Meikle-
helm. No. .; Robertson, No. 8; OGorman,
No 4; Foote, No. 8, and Knapp, No 6-fell
over in a dead faint, completely exhaust
ed. Five of them recovered con. ciousness
within few minutes, but Mekleheim was
unconscious for fully thirty minutes. The
men were lifted out of their shell and
placed on board the Carrie Goodwin.
While these transfers were being made,
the two other men in the Columbia boat,
futile No. I and Pelton, stroke, also
tainted and had to be assisted out of the
boat. When the Columbia launch arrived
at their quarters, the entire Columbia
crew were lifted out and carried to their
rooms and put to bed. The men were
in pretty bad shape. They had been
rowed to a standstill and had COM
pletely broken down, futile. No. 8, was
quite excited and at times slightly delir-
ious. Meikelheim and several others were
slightly hysterical and showed plainly the
effects of the severe strain under which
they had been and of the high tension Of
their nerves when they found themselves
defeated.
The Cornell men, who pulled wonder.
fully plucky race, were around last night
feeling bright and sound as a dollar.
In the freshman race Harvard won by
two lengths without any trouble. The
official time was, Harvard. 1921; Column
bia, 1928.
In the triangular race no time was taken
of any crew but Columbia, and this is not
official The approximate time as taken
from the press toat is, Columbia, 1880

of native refinement, is free from all trace
of self. assertive habit and will take up her
position with quiet, unobtrusive dignity.
There is distinction in her manner and
mode of dress. Her figure is slender, not
tall, and being symmetrical and graceful
is what the French call mignonne. 80
far Mrs. Reid (being in mourning) has
dressed in black. She pins the lace
strings of her bonnet with an enamel
brooch repre- senting a cluster OF Vlo-

for dew drops. Mr.. Reid is an able news
paper editor. Though not yet, l should
fancy, on the shady side Of middle age,
he has done deal for strays and waits,
and for the infant population OF the close
streets OF New York. His first work, out
side of politics ard newspaper editing,
was to send male waits out West, where

Children-She Faced Death Bravely.
PHILADELPHIA. June 26-Mrs. Sarah
Jane WHEELING was hanged yesterday
morning in the corridor of The county
prison. The drop fell at 10:07 o'clock and
the body was lowered and removed at
iO:4l. The woman's bearing throughout
The ord .al was a most remarkable exhibit
ton OF fortitude and resi- gnation. During
the entire morning she never for moment
showed the slightest evidence Of weakness
and frequently expressed her pleasure at
the prospect of meeting her hus-
band and children. The physicians
who were present at the execution
and who have more or less frequently
been with the condemned woman since
her incarceration expressed surprise ut
her caimness, although they agreed that
she has at no time shown any evidence
whatever of an unsound mind. Mrs.
Whiteling spent her last night walking
about her cell, singing and praying. in
which she was Joined at Intervals by Mrs.
Weaver, the prison matron, and a watch
woman, who were with her throughout
the night Shortly before six O'Clock
a. m. she ate with apparent relish .
breakfast Of fried eggs, toast and choco-
late.
At ten o'clock the condemned woman
was taken from the cell and Sheriff
Krumbhaar and Prison Physician Paxson
headed the procession to the scaffod. Mrs.
Whiteing was escorted by two ministers.
But they gave her no aid whatever, she
walking firmly and showing 10 hesitation.
Arriving at the scaffold she assembled the
ten or a dozen steps unassisted, except
that each of her spiritual advisers re-
tanned a gentle hold of either arm.
The sberih's deputies then placed
leather strap around her skirts
at the ankles. and another
around her hands, the condemned
woman meanwhile. with uplifted eyes,
repeating prayer delivered by Rev. Mr..
Jones. The black cap was then adjusted,
and at 1907 the trap was sprung and Mrs.
WHEELING was dropped into eternity. The
fall was about five feet, and the physicians
stated that death was instantaneous,
though the heart continued to beat spas
medically for some time thereafter.
Mrs Whiteling deliberately murdered
her husband. John Whiteling. aged thir-
ty-eight, her daughter, aged nine, and her
son Willie, less than three years old. to
obtain the small Insurance. which she car
ried on their lives.

trating crime of greater turpitude than

be held for all time guilty of treason
which is rapidly being crystallized and
defined by the public perception, and the

THE CONSPIRACY.

What satire on free government is
this state without a legislature! Instead
of allowing those "sure thing" tricksters
Jack, White. Blake, ct. ALTO play
with loaded dice it would be more busi-
ness-like to hand over the government to
a council composed of these worthless.
For 25 years democrats controlled all but
two of the Montana territorial legisla-
tures-the first and the last. Troubles
began when the republicans came into
power, for the present plot may be traced
back to the legislature Of 1889, which
passed registration bill and an Austral-
ian voting law that were both chock full
of partisanship and proved in practice to
be republican schemes to rob people OF
their votes. The many electors who lost
their votes because cf the registration
law and the frauds of the Silver Bow
board of canvassers, so called, sufficiently
attest this.
The evils for which the republican
tricksters are responsible are great and
increasing The state prison may have
to be thrown open. The insane may
have to be let loose on the community
The whole machinery of state govern
ment is in danger of falling to pieces
Judge Hunt declares that he cannot Try
criminals without further Legislation
Other Judges may be Of like opinion. A
any moment the ship of state may strik
snags which good legislature nigh
have removed by few weeks energeti
