board of Public Works to be Gov
erned by Courts

erned by Courts.
The members of the present board of
pubic works, as stated in the @ l o g
three weeks ago Will not surrender
their functions to John Copeland, or
any other man, until the supreme court
decides the question of the constitu-
tionality or the law under which 1t is
attempted to abolish the board. In
this connection Commissioner Robert
N. Hare yesterday made the following
declaration
1T would be betrayal of the conf
dence reposed in us If we were to
turn the office over to the proposed
commissioner" said Mr.. Hare this
morning. 1T Is our duty to continue
In control for the reason that 1t Is ques-
t1onable II any Of his acts will be
legal, While there can be no question as
to the perfect legality of what we do.
If the new commissioner should
come up here Saturday and demand the
ONCE we will simply refuse to give
possession, placing on the other side
the necessity of bringing the action to
GUST us. We are going to protect the
interests of the taxpayers by staying
right here until the courts decide that
we are not entitled to the offices.
There will be no half way measure.
We VIII de the business that comes be-
fore US, the same that we have in the
past.
This law is unconstitutional-it is
special legislation, and I believe that
when the matter comes before him
Comptroller McCardy will take the
same view of the matter that we do.
He will be called upon to audit the pay
or, the commissioner If he should be ap-
pointed and attempt to serve, and un-
der the Bell charter, for which Mr..
McCardy has always been a great
st1ckler. he cannot allow the same,
there being no provision for a commits
sioner of public works
If the commissioner should be al
lowed to take possession of the depart
ment there would be all kinds of COM
plications. The guarantees of payment
which have been laid in the past could
be called into question, the legality of
improvements now under way will be
endangered and affairs will generally
get into q tangle.
AS to the saving under the new
measure, I admit that it might amount
to $4,000 yearly, but no more, as the
salary of the city engineer is raised
from $4,000 to $1,000, and his second
assistant from $1,000 to $780, the
commissioner must have an assistant
and as much clerical force as the board
now has 9aGc *
I'm regard to this matter I would
like to ask a question: If this act is
constitutional why did not the mayor
and comptroller accept the increase in
their salaries in accordance with the
act passed by the last 1egislature?''
Contrary to the expectations of Re
publican off1ce-seekers, the councilmen
did not hold a caucus last evening,
to consider how John Copeland can
be installed in the newly created office.
At least, If they did hold a caucus it
was after they had scattered from the
council chamber, which is hardly prob
able, as Aid. Bigelow, the principal ad-
vocate of quick action, was not present
at the meeting

fish cousins, however, go in more for
show and splendor of uniforms and
equipment. AS to the relative weight
and ages of the two crews, there was
an astonishing difference. Leander
was much lighter than Yale, and much
older. The average of the Yale men
was twenty-one years, and that of the
Leander was twenty-eight years. Some
Of the latter men were over thirty
years of age. All Of the English crews
have many professionals among them,
while Yale, as you know, are purely
a college team. For instance, take
Nichols, who rowed No for Leander;
and the man who rowed No g. The
latter has assisted in winning the
grand challenge cup three different
times

long. and thereby lost some OF it's

two weeks at Henley instead of three,

Bob Cook, our coach, who came back
with us, says that with the experience
we gained this year, we will make a
great showing the next time we go
over. I doubt if we go next year, for

NO FREE SHINES.
Another Blow Is Struck at the Popu-
lar Comfort.

lar COMFORT.
A novel strike was in progress for a
few hours yesterday, the BARRIERS in the
Manhattan shop going out" because
OF system of free shines instituted by
the manager of the shop, Joseph Del
lar. Dollar invented a foot rest by
which the recipient Of a shave could
have his boots BACKED while he was
having his cheeks polished and his
mustache curled. He figured, he says,
that those who might feel that they
could not afford the money for a shave,
could stand 1t for the shave and shine,
particularly when there was no loss of
time needed, either. BY this he figured
that the business of the BARRIERS would
be generally increased, and the trade
would be benefited, as there was moth
ing to prevent other BARRIERS from
adopting the same foot rest and plan.
The union, however, claimed that the
free shine was really device for cut
ting into the agreed scale. and the
strike was ordered. The journeymen
also figured that in reality they were
paying the salaries of the porters, as
the only revenue of the office was thus
derived from their work
Another objection that was raised
was that tips received by the porter
were taken from him. Dollar admits
this, but says that this was done in or
der to prevent imposition on his pat
rons, and he credited the plan with the
almost total abolition of the tipping
practice in the shop Expect no tips"

checks handed to patrons on entering

lar conceded the demands of the men,

ant trip across the big pond, on the
New York Both are very enthusiastic
over the trip, and while naturally
disappointed at the defeat Of the Yale
crew, say the trip has been of inesti-
mable benefit to the American oars
men. and that probably two years
hence, they will go across again and
make better showing
1.-THE English oarsmen are probably
the best in the world" said Mr. Lang
ford to the G o b e yesterday after
noon. They have style and a skill
which Is hard to initiate. I find the
American crews have more beef, and
far more strength so far as muscle
goes, but it appears that weight and
muscle count for nothing against the
superior skill of the English oarsmen
They are wonderfully neat in the use
of their oars. 1t Is skill against
strength, and this Is one instance
where the former counts for more than
the latter. If the Yale crew had used
English oars, we might have finished
better, but even at that I doubt if we
could have won, as the Leanders were
the best crew which ever rowed on the
Thames. Undoubtedly Yale will use
the English pattern Of oars hereafter.
They are narrower, and can be pulled
out Of and through the water quicker
than the wider oar used in this coun-
try. Then again, you can increase the
stroke much better than with the
American oar.
I'D ''As to form, I think the American
crews present a prettier picture in
action than the Englishmen, but that
counts for nothing in a race. On this
side of the water, the men all move
at once, and all straight forward and
backward, while the English move
from side to side on account Of the
length Of the oars inboard. Our Eng

Chamber of Commerce VIII Make an
Inquiry.

The executive committee of the cham

sion over the proposed Mississippi river
improvements between the cities yes
terday morning. P. H. Kelly made a
statement in opposition to the dam as
a gigantic steal and pet scheme of
Congressman Fletcher, of Minneapolis.
He repeated substantially the state
ment which he made to a Globe re-
porter few days ago and which was
printed at that time
Congressman Kiefer, who was pres
ent, resented the imputation, and said
that the work proposed could not help
but be permanent and welcome ben

There is no secret work to speak Of
Nearly every day as we would row
past the English boat houses. they
would call to us and ask us in what
time we made it, and If our time was
better than theirs, they would always
tell us frankly. This brought about
feeling Of fellowship, and increased
the friendly rivalry. This friendly ex-
change of information showed us a
week before the race, that If we should
be pitted against Leander, we would
probably lose the race"
Messrs Langford and Simpson "did"
London together after the race, and
visited many points Of interest. Both
oarsmen are enthusiastic over the
genuineness of English hospitality.
Wherever any Of the Yale crew
went, we were received with unbound
ed kindness. For the first few days,
perhaps, the English sportsmen were
somewhat reserved, and waited to see
If we distrusted them, but when they
found that we had confidence in them,
they met us more than half way Other
crews which have gone to England
have guarded their shells and taken
other precautions against possible
fraud, and this naturally aroused the
resentment Of the Britishers, as 1t
would here If they should take the
same course. But nothing occurred to
mar the good feeling. After the race
many banquets and lawn fetes were
given for US. The Sports club and the
other clubs on the Thames made us
honorary members Of their organiza-
tons. We ran across scores of Ameri-
cans in London and hundreds Of our
fellow countrymen cheered us on at
the race. Our voyage home was very
pleasant Coming in past Sandy Hook
we saw the White Squadron anchored
and the stars and stripes were a very
welcome sight. England is beautiful
country. Every available inch of land
seems to be put to some use, and the
entire Island is a garden"

remain in the city during the summer
vacation.
