POUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y. June 21.-
This was observation day, and alto

preceding the big races. Everybody saw
everybody else work, and everybody IL
pretty we'll satisfied that his crew is the
best and that there will be one of the
hardest fought contests in the history OF

Eearly in the afternoon Coach Court
nell Of the Cornell crew accepted an in
vitation to go out in the Associated
Press launch. He saw all, with the ex-
ception of the Yale crew. Coach Ward
of Pennsylvana started UP the course
with his launch to see the Harvard crew.
Coach Cowles had brought Columbia
out for brief spin, and after taking the
crew two miles down the river and two
miles back, allowed them to go home and
then waited also to see the HarVaru
crew. Coach Cook of the Yale crew went
over to look at Harvard. Mr.. Courtney
declined to say anything about the
chances of his own crew, but looked
thoroughly we'll pleased with hisNobser-
vations of Harvards rowing, and said:
"I do not believe that the Harvard crews
are rowing faster than they did las
year. They start at the same quick
thirty-eight and settle down to stroke
of thirty-four, trying to set killing
pace"
Coach Ward of Pennsylvania said:
1.-The so-called. longer stroke of Harvard
Is not visible They make more effort
with their backs, but less with their
blades. think Cornelps varsity crew
can defeat Harvard's varsity crew as
easily as it was done last year"
Coach Cook rowed about the finish OF
the Harvard trial and looked rather crit
ically, declining positively to make
public criticism, but, he did say to Yale
graduate later on: Harvard is not row.

EARTHQUAKE ECHOES
SALINAS SEEMS TO SUFFER
SEVERELY
An Adobe Wall at the Mission Of
Monterey Falls and Scares the
Congl egation

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Late re-
ports regarding the earthquake show
that 1t was quite severe at Salinas, the
county seat Of Monterey county.
Among the more prominent buildings
damaged are the armory of Troop c.
which had its walls badly cracked and
parted; the Mace building in process Of
construction, will have to be taken
down, and the Farmers Union building.
The latter had an old crack in the front
opened four inches for a length of sev-
eral feet and is three inches wide. III
! the interior of the latter building bricks
fell and the plastering was damaged.
The Salinas hotel, the Jeffrey, Abbot
and Bardin houses all suffered more or
less, windows being broken and tht
walls cracked. In the leading merchan-
disc houses large plate glass windows
were broken. On the residence streets
chmneys were thrown down and win-
dows smashed.
The postoff1ce building was cracked
on its front. Public halls are injured to
great extent The city hall has been
seriously injured and plaster and the
court house has suffered. The old
brick Salinas hotel was cracked across
the top. There We're over IS windows
broken in the Bardin house and in over
half the rooms the walls are cracked
At Graves switch the warehouse was
ruined and the huge railroad tank al
most emptied of it's contents.
A section of adobe wall in the mission
church of San Carlos in Monterey
tumbled in on the congregation ard a
panic almost resulted. Congregations
were at worship in various towns when
the shock occurred and in some church,
es panics were avoided by the GOODNESS
of the ministers.
MEXICAN QUAKES
TEHAUNTEPEC. State of Oaxaca
Mex, June 21.-Two more shocks Of
earthquake were experienced here last
night and early this morning. the latter
occurring about o'clock and adding to
the CONSERVATION of the people who had
begun to regain confidence. The cour-
ageous example of the bishop, who re-
fused to leave town, has infused a cer-
tain amount of valor into the people.
The government scientific committee
is here making a careful study of phe
nomena and will occupy some time. The
town has become a heap Of ruins and
great damage has been done. The
scientists have not found any signs Of
a new volcano, about which so much has
been said, and as was reported several
times by Indians, who asserted that
they had seen it. 1t ie' now believed that
q small volcano is possihlv forn1irg q nm
der ground, from which come roaring
sounds heard during the shocks, and ii
is more than likely this may open a
tremendous cavng in of the earth's
crust, burying a large district. Similar
occurrences in Spain and Andalusia
took place several years ago under like
circumstances, which lends plausibility
to the story.

Two Australian Champions Promptly

SYRACUSE, N. Y. June 21.-Tommy

pion welterweight of Australia, in the
first minute of the second round OF
their fight before the Empire Athletic

in to rush matters in the first round,
and Ryan contented himself with duck
ing and side-stepping until the latter
part of the round, when he drove a
right to the body that sent his man
staggering against the ropes.
In the second round Ryan started in
from the first to fix matters and landed
rights and lefts on the face and body.
Williams dropped to his knees three
times to avoind punishment, and when
he got up Ryan jabbed his right to
the heart and then hooked his left on

FAILED TO FIND FIdEL
WHEN HIS TESTIMONY WAS
WANTED
San Francisco's Chief Of Police Ex-
presses His Belief That the Book
keeper Is Innocent

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Al-
though the inquest into the death OF
Isaac Hoffman has already lasted a
week. its only result SO far has been
| the bringing to the surface Of the con-
dition of affairs which, while 1t is SEN
sational and interesting, does not tend
to elucidate the mystery. The develop
mente this week promise to be equally
sensational for Chief of Police Lees has
announced his firm conviction in the in
nocence of Theodore Figel, bookkeeper
and his intention to see him through his
present difficulty.
Today's proceedings commenced with
an examination of witnesses upon varf-
Gus trivial points connected with the
tragedy, but nothing of interest was
brought out until Joeeph Rothschild,
attorney and brother of the partner of
the deceased, was called. He testified
to the effect that he had made an in
vestigation upon learning Of the tragedy
and had reached the conclusion that
Hoffman had been murdered. He stated
that he had suggested to Chief Lees
that perhaps the firms books would
show a motive for murder, but that Off
Ger had replied that he had know FigePs
father for 40 years and nothing could
make him believe that his son would
commit murder During the investiga-
ton Figel had shown him a receipt from
Hoffman for $4,000, which he believed to
be forgery Figel had asked permis-
sion to post up the books, but the wit
ness considered it unwise to grant this
request and refused. The next day,
however. when he arrived at the office
of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., he found
Figel already there at work on the
books.
Figel was called to the witness stand,
but failed to respond and deputy was
sent after him.
Meanwhile two reputable witnesses,
Thomas Turnbull of Fruitvale and Miss
Lillian Cohn, stenographer, testified
that they had seen Hoffman at 6:3l
o'clock on the evening of June 1st at
the door of the office, thus conclusivelv
disposing of the theory that Figel mur-
dered his employer, since at that time
he was on the San Rafael boat.
Coroner Hawkins, upon learning that
Figel had purposely stayed away upon
the advice of his attorney adjourned the
inquest until tomorrow and instructed
one of his deputies to see that the book
keeper was present at the hour set.
There was an exceedingly sensat tional
scene during the inquest this morning.
During the examination of Harry H.
Unger, who testified to having seen
Hoffman at the door of his office at $3.50
o'clock on the evening of June /, Atto:-
ney Ach objected to a question pro-
pounded by the coroner, whereupon At
torrey Lloyd, the legal representative
of Bookkeeper Figel, accused him of at
tempting to suppress evidence. Ach.
| white with fury, arose and. advancing
| toward Lloyd. said: That is an infam-
Gus falsehood." Coroner Hawkins in
| terfered and adjourned the hearing, the
attorneys talking at each other acrose
| the room meanwhile, but being induced
| to leave without resorting to blows
