WHAT MARTIAL LAW MEANS
Mucn Flippant and Contemptuous Talk
About 1t.

a bout 1t,
Whenever any locality in the United
States is threatened with domestic vio-
lence, there is apt to be much fiippant or
cOntemptuous talk about martial law. 1t
is nearly thirty years since martial law
has prevailed i'll any part OF the United
States, and this generation has a very in
adequate conception of what it means
In theory, il is the suspension OF all civil
law. the removal of all constitutional re-
straint. In practice it is the enthrone-
ment of force, the substitution of a
trained soldiers will for all the familiar
machinery of courts and juries, Sheriffs
and Marshals, Governors and Legis-
latures. When General Miles advised
Governor Altgeld and Mayor Hopkins
that, if order were not soon restored by
use of police and militia, he would put
the city of Chicago under martial law,
what he threatened was the temporary
replacement of their administrative au-
tnority and that of the State and Federal
Courts with the unrestrained power of
his own will, limited only by the SUI
perior authority OF Grover Cleveland,

THE OLD STORY

Another Highlander War That Some

Late last night wild-eyed Chinaman
rushed into the Police Station, and said
the Bing Kong Tong and Chez Kong
Tong-the rival highlander groups OF
Chinatown-had declared war, and that
shooting was about to begin &ll along the
line.
Two officers were detailed to go up l
street and surround the contending
armies and take them as prisoners, but
they found no war in progress, and up 10
l o'clock this morning hostilities had not
commenced.

OUR readers have full knowledge of the
i'll effect of the recently adopted amend
ment to the Constitution regarding alien
ownership of property in California. The
RECORD UNION has very clearly ex-
planned it, and there is now no denial
that the amendment is a bad one. AS
semblyman Hatfield has proposed an
amendment to the Constitution to undo
the wrong to themselves Of which the
voters were guilty last November. His
proposed amendment reads:
Section Il. Foreigners shall not have the
right 10 acquire, possess, enjoy, transmit or
inherit property in this state, unless they are
bona Iide residents of this state eligible TO be-
come citizens OF the United states under the
naturalization laws thereof.
This will practically put US back where
we were before the folly of November
last, when the section read:
Foreigners OF the white race. or of African
descent, eligible to become citizens of the
United States under the naturalization laws
thereof, while bona tide residents OF this State
shall nave the same rights in respect 10 the
acquisition, possession. enjoyment, transmits
sion and inheritance OF property as native
born citizens.
The section as it now reads it is need
less to here repeat. 1t is too muddled,
obscure and non-understand to be
worthy of reproduction. The Hatfield
proposition should be submitted, and the
sooner the better, for the November folly
is doing the State great harm.

which the race is TO be rowed is not
an ideal one, and is selected only be-
cause of its convenience for both Har
ward and Yale. The only fair race is
rowed down stream and always with
the tide and within two hours of its
flow The starting flag is on the Mont
vile side of the river, half a mile be-
low the Yale quarters, and almost OPP
posite Red Top. In order to get
straight-away course, the start is
made close to the bank and out of the
river channel, so that the first mile
of the race is rowed over fiat.
The two mile flag, or the middle of
the course, will be just off the end of
the long navy yard dock, and the race
is usually decided at this point. The
finish line Is at the upper end of the
long drawbridge pier, and the boat on
the west course goes very near the en-
bankment Flats covered with fatal
eel grass border most of the course,
so that much depends on the cox
SWANS knowledge of the river and his
skill in handling the boat. The fact
that the race is always rowed with
the tide against the wind accounts, to
a great extent, for the difference in the
time made by successive crews.
Since the Inauguration of the Yale
Harvard boat races in 1876, Yale has
won y and Harvard contests. The
best time ever made over the Thames
course was by the victorious Yale crew
in 1888, the time being 20 minutes, 10
seconds

YALE WON.

Her Freshmen Too Much For the
Other Boys.
New London, June 27.-Yale wins
by three-quarters length; Harvard,
second; Columbia ten lengths off.
Time-22 minutes seconds Gun
Officially
Harvard's freshmen eight cared
crew, so confident of victory, were de-
feated today by Yale, while Columbia
was third in the annual triangular
over the two miles of the Thames
water course. Watson, of Harvard, is
said recently to have stated that if
his freshmen did not win this year
there was little hope for his varsity
eight which rows with Yale tomorrow
The Associated Press scored a tri-
umph by instantly announcing over
its special wire along the shore that
Yale was the winner.
Weather and water favored good
race. In fact a southeast breeze was
blowing up the course over the in
coming tide, and heavy clouds shaded
the water. Just above the railway
bridge, whence the crews were to row
two miles up the river with the tide,
was anchored a huge float, where
Referee Guy Richards lined the crews,
while veteran Adee stood beside him
to do official timing.
At 1875 word was given. Harvard
first caught the water, Columbia S
oars flashed next, while Yale, in the
middle of the course, was sagging
back. Harvard, on the Groton side,
and Columbia, on the New London
side, pulled each half a length ahead
within six strokes. Harvard, after
short starting strokes, squared away,
rowing forty strokes to the minute
Harvard gained on Yale. Yale over
hauled and led Columbia at the quar-
ter. AS yet there was no clear water
between the shells. Columbia crew
ragged as she neared the first half
mile flag, and it became evident thus
early that they were outclassed. Har-
ward made the first half in 2:1S, Yale
in 2:20, Columbia in 2:25.
Entering the second half of the
first mile, Columbia's bowman broke
the fastening bar of his row lock and
was scarcely able to pull his weight.
In Yale's boat, No. was losing his
first wind. No. 4 in Harvard's shell
was bucking his oar. The crimson
crew were see-sawing from side to
side in ragged form. Yale, though
distressed, was pulling along gamely
thirty-four strokes to the minute. as
the shells passed the first mile flag.
a
quarter of a second later came Grim
son Columbia, trailing over three clear
boat lengths in the rear in 1915.
Thence the race was Yale's, though
by an exceedingly slender margin.
No. 2 in Yale's boat had gained his
second wind.
Harvard's men dropped their stroke
to a weary swing of 80 strokes. Column
bia was losing momentarily. The bow
man frequently unshipped his oar
and his comrades were obliged to
carry his dead weight until he was
able to replace the blade.
The closing of the race was close
and spirited. The nearness of Har-
ward to Yale kept alive in the crimson
the hope of winning by squirt. 1t
was not in the boat, however. Yale
went over the two mile and finish line
in 10 minutes and IS seconds from the
start. Harvard crossed in 1925,
length behind, while poor Columbia,
with a disabled out-rigger, finished in
11:1S15, sixteen lengths behind Yale
and fifteen behind Harvard.

1t Caused Regret.

London, June 27.-The Teply of Har-
ward University's committee on
athletic sports to the Invitation of Ok
ford and Cambridge to-take part in
an international athletic contest in
the United States next autumn in con-
junction with Yale University, has
caused much regret at oxford and
Cambridge, where the answer of the
American university was commune
Gated to the presidents of the Univer-
sity clubs exclusively by the Associated
Press. This regret is all the more
keen because the Oxford and Cam
bridge athletes feel they are unable
to arrange to go to America every
year.
The Enghshmen had anticipated the
visit with the greatest possible inter
est and enthusiasm and the athletes
had built up many hopes on the result
of another visit. Consequently it may
be Imagined that Harvard's answer
was q most unpleasant surprise to the
athletes and others of the two English
universities.
