HE IS AFRAID OF JOHNSON
ZIMMERMAN DOES NOT CARE TO
 MEET THE CRACK RIDER.

He Claims Though That He Has Asserted
 His Superiority and That Another Race
 is Not Deemed Necessary-There is No
 Need of Their Racing to Settle the Cham. l p'Onship.
 Rochester, June 10.-Arthur zimmer- man and John S. Johnson are in town tonight. The former will ride an ex- hibition mile tomorrow at the race meet of the Lake View wheelmen. Tom Eek Is with Johnson. Eek displayed the following from Wise and Lecato of Philadelphia, representing the Pennsyl- vania Bicycle club:
 Zimmerman will ride only at As bury Park. Offered him $5,O0O to ride here, but he refused"
 Eek stated that Johnson would not be permitted to ride at Asbury Park under any circumstances.
 'It would be foolish" said. he, Ito allow Johnson to go to Asbury Park at the time of the L. A. w. meet and race Zimmerman there, especially in view of the fact that the L. A W. has kicked him out on trumped up charges. The race would throw just so much extra money into the L. A. W. treasury and we do not intend to do that. The offer of the Philadelphia people was made in good faith and there is no reason why he should not accept it. It begins to look as though he is afraid to race Johnson.
 Zimmerman when seen stated frankly that he did not want to race Johnson.
 Not that I am afraid of him." ex- plained he, "but simply because have nothing to gain. have raced him seventeen times and beaten him six teen, thereby proving my superiority. If Johnson wants to race me let him come to Asbury Park, where the contest will be run off under the rules of the L. A. w., which insures each of us get ting equally fair treatment. If Johnson wants the championship title he can have it for the asking. I do not want it and there is no need of our racing to settle the question. do not Intend to make any matches prior to my de- parture for Australia, in August, any now. I expect that trip will end my racing career"

CONDITION OF rREAsURY.
It is Probable That the Deficit will Soon be
 Wiped Out.

Washington, June 10.-The treasury receipts for the ten days of June ag- gregate $s,435 ,O00 and the expenditures ! have been $10,0O4,0oO, or only $1,569, OOO in excess of receipts. This deficit will be wiped out before many days and the ! end of June is likely to show for the month an excess of two or three mil lions over expenditures, Q condition not reached by the treasury in any one
 month for several years. The deficit for the year will be reduced to $45,OOO, 900 by July.
 This turn in affairs tn the treasury condition is accounted for by the fact that business is adjusting itself to tar- If conditions and that large revenue Is now being received. This is notably the case as regards sugar, which has been imported free under the former tariff law. The free stock is now ex- hausted and imports have been resum- ed. The large quantity of whiskey taken out of bond to escape the irl- creased tax of two cents gallon Is now nearly or completely consumed and new whiskey is being taken out of bond to supply the consumption. The increase in internal revenue receipts shows this plainly.
 With all the principal lines of busi- ness adjusting themselves to conditions, and with an increased volume of bust mess apparent, still the revenues of the government are not quite sufficient to meet fixed expendbtures The increased revenue of $4O,OOOOO0 or $5o0OO, GOO pro- if act, principally on the items of su- gar, iron ore and coal, makes the deficit just so much less, but leaves the treas ury still short by about s25, 100000 or $SO, 100000 year of equatlhg expendi- lures. This will have to be provided for by the next congress.

A SCHOOL GIRL MURDERED
AN AGED MAN PUTS 4 BULLET INTO
 THE HEAD OF 4 CHILD.

He Was Completely Infatuated With Her
 and Because She Would Pay No Atten-
 tiOn to Him He Shot Her and Then Turned
 the Revolver Upon Himself With Fatal | Effect.
 Hyannis, Mass, June 1O-The quiet village of Osterville was greatly excit- ed this morning by the murder of Laz- gle Coleman, aged thirteen, while om her way to school by German laborer named Henry Litkey, who afterwards committed suicide by shooting. Litkey was married man with a wife and three children in Germany. He had been on the farm of S. s. Leonard for the last six years. He was steady and honest, and a faithful man.
 For the last six months he had been infatuated with the Coleman girl and spent much of his spare time at the house of MT Coleman. His infatuation was not noticed by the family until re- gently, when her parents forbade his coming to the house. He made the girl various presents at times, also made & present to the mother. After his visits were forbidden he wanted the presents returned, which they refused, and that was what melted him to commit the ter rible deed.
 The girl with her two brothers start ed for school about S:s0. Litkey was in the habit of meeting her on the way to the school for the purpose of speaking with her and often intercepted her on her way home He fired two shots at ore of the boys, missing him. He then asked him what he had to say about turning him out of doors. The boy re- piled: T did not say that. Father was the one who said it." Then Litkey turned to the girl and shot her twice, the first time through the mouth, the second shot taking effect in the back of her head, He immediately turned the weapon upon himself, the ball pass ing through his head. Both probably died instantly. He was fifty years old and had been sailor.
 He was an intelligent man. He had said to parties that if Coleman would return the watch, which was one of the presents, that would be all he wanted of them, but they refused and after he Yas refused access to the home and family of MT. Coleman he became de- spondent. He has left no papers that can be found at present.

YALE IS CLOSELY WATCHED
WAPCHE ES WBR p HELD TO 7.FmE TKE SIISOK.B ON THE BIRST PUnL.

Coach Watson of Harvard Was Among
 Those Who Saw the Work on the River.
 A Favorable Showing Made-Course to bs
 Tagged To-day.
 New London, June 1O.-The Yale crew rowed over the course for the first time this evening, showing up in splendid form and doing the work that Bob Cook laid out for them very weld. The Yale crew started from Gales Ferry in the launch with the shell towing to the point near the lower end of the colIrse- The crew stripped, and getting into the she'll Captain Cook gave instruc- tons as to what was to be done, and inl- mediately the word was given. They pulled the long steady stroke that has come to be distinctively YaJe's. At the navy yard the Harvard launch was waiting for the Yale crew to come up, watches being held to time the boat and stroke as the shell moved along at a rapid pace.
 Coach Watson was in the Harvard party that saw Yale at practice this evening. Comment on the Yale men is understood to be favorable to them Harvard's practice this evening was on stretches. This forenoon both crews were on the river a couple of hourss but neither covered the course. To- morrow evening it is likely that HRr- var1 will go over the four miles at speed. She has rowed the whole course already several times She came here week ago, and this week is not likely to see effort to do better than has yet heAn d0nn relaXed s
 The course will be Tagged tomorrow. When this is done the opportunity to get the accurate time of the crews over measured distances will be greatly in creased. It is believed that the crew Harvard sent this year is the best that has represented that college in several years. They are doing harder work than Harvard crews have ordinarily done here, and are in condition now that indicates an exciting race on the 2Sth.
 The Columbia crew will come here next Saturday night, taking up quar- ters at Captain "Ktt' Browns, as in years past.

CORNELL cREw HoNoKED.
AmbRSsadOr Bayard Takes Turn on tn
 Launch at Henley.

| Launch ht henley'
 London, June 0-Ambassador Bay
 ard paid visit to the Cornell crew at
 Henley. He was introduced to each of
 the men. The crew rowed down the
 course and back at racing speed, MT. Bayard following them in a launch. The
 ambassador was profuse in his praises of the crewfs style and work After the
 men had rowed over the course Coach l Courtney put in four extra men and sent the crew with the rig on another round MT. Bayard again followed the oarsmen, but returned after going over half the course The men were not Ecalled upon to make extra exertions, kCourtney merely intending to exercise them.
 There were many spectators on the banks of the river, and the rowers among them were surprised at the nov city of the short stroke employed. The men are practicing openly and visitors have free access to their boat house, which is contrary to the English cus- tom. Many oarsnen hover about the house, The crew will tonight vacate the boat house hitherto occupied and will hereafter make their headquarters at more suitable place a quarter of a mile further up the river on the Berlt- shire side.
 Judge Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Browns School Days" himself an Oxontan, has written letter in which he says the Cornell crew ought to do well at Henley. He would re- ioice, he says, to hear that their flag was up to Oxfordrs in the final heat
 Guy Nickalls, the well known cham pion sculler of England is well impress ed with the appearance of the crew, but does not think well of their style. He says their rowing is much too short and that they can do better by length ening out the stroke and making it little slower. There is also a lack of finish about the rowing compared with a high class English crew. MT. Nickails is sure that the crew cannot win unless 1t does alter very materially in the way he has suggested.
