Bodies Sent to a cremltorj for Ihcln-
GRAFTON.
Supposed That They Were Afraid
Of the Plague and Putting ON
Life Preservers, Tried to Swim
to the Shore-Maru Will BE
Kept in Quarantine for Some
Time as Precautionary Meas
ure.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-The
bodies of two of the japanese sailors
of the plague ship Nippon Maru were
found in the bay to-day and towed to
a point off shore by fishermen, who
were afraid to touch the bodies more
than was necessary to attach rope to
them for towing purposes. The Cor
oner was notified and the bodies taken
to the Morgue, where every precaution
is being taken to prevent any spread
of the disease, should the men have
carried any germs with them in the
bay.
1t is believed that the men were
afraid to stay on the steamer and
after attaching life preservers to their
bodies jumped overheard and were
drowned. On the trip of the Maru
from Honolulu to this city young
Japanese girl died of some mysterious
disease and was buried at sea an hour
after death. Apoplexy was given as
the cause of her death, but the Attic
ton seldom seizes one so young and
very few japanese ever die of the
complaint 1t is believed that the
disease has been stamped out from
the Maru, but she will be kept in quar-
antine for some time as a precaution-
airy measure.
Later in the day portions of the
bodies of the two men were sent to q
bacteriologist for examination and the
bodies were sent to a crematory for
incineration. The result of the ex-
pert's examination has not yet been
made.

1870
CHICAGO, June 2S.-Mrs. Lapiner
took the stand to-day in the case Of
Mrs. Ingersoll and John Collins OF
gainesville, Ohio, charged with kidnap-
ing little Gerald Lapiner, and told the
story of the theft of her boy and the
circumstances under which she found
him after a ten-months' fruitless
search. The surroundings ana inc
physical condition of the child when
found tended to substantiate the cams
of ill-treatment of Gerald. Mrs. Lapi-
ner first found the child sitting on the
bed in the upper part of the house in
gainesville. THE bed was black with
filth she said, land had not been
made up for year, I should judge"

sation with Mrs. Ingersoll at Chicago
police station.
Mrs. Ingersoll asked me to let her
go, as she was DID," Mrs. Lapiner said.
She asked my pity. I told her she had
not pitied me. 1 told her I would be
lenient with her if she would tell me
who was her accomplice in Chicago.
But she would not
Miss Farris, who discovered the child
at the Ingersoll house, testified during
the afternoon. She told of Mrs Inger-
soils reported trip to California and her
return home with the Lapiner child.
Conflicting stories of Collins and Mrs

neighbors, but several months elapsed
before an opportunity presented itself
to gain possession of the child. On cross
examination Miss Ferris said she
claimed the credit of finding the boy,
but had not yet requested the reward

Both Crews Agree Yale Has the Better
Chance in Varsity Race.


NEW LONDON, June 2S.-Singular
as it may seem there appears to be per-
feet unanimity of feeling at the Y ale
and Harvard headquarters tonight as
to the possible outcome of the three
races which the college crews will row
tomorrow.
Both agree that Yale, barring acci-
dents, has better chance in the great
varsity race that will be rowed for
four miles down the Thames just be-
fore shutdown.
1t is also admitted by both that the
Yale freshmen crew will not hare the
same advantage over Harvard in the
race of two miles up the river in the
forenoon while as for the four-oared
race between the varsity substitutes
over two-mile course after the fresh
man race, Harvard has certainly the
preference.
The facilities for viewing the races
are far better than ever before. In
stead of an observation train on the
right bank of the river, there will be
long trains on either bank.
The police arrangements this year are
also improved, through the kind Of
fees of the Treasury Department and
there will be but little crowding OF
boats at the finish near the bridge, a
disagreeable feature in by-gone years.
That there will be a great fleet of boats
to witness the contest is assured, for al
ready tonight a dozen or more steam
yachts have taken up positions above
the bridge, while the auxiliary cruiser
Prairie, which steamed into the har-
Dor, looms up majestically.
AS an added attraction in sight of the
finish line are the two fastest yachts
aftoat in any waters, the Columbia and
the Defender. They came sailing grand
ly into the harbor this afternoon after
hard five hours race from Newport.
Tonight the odds on Yale that were
to yesterday dropped to 5 to 3 and
D to 4. 1t appears to be general SEN
timent among the sporting fraternity
that the Harvard crew has a dash that
may win in spite of long experience and
steady training of the eight from Yale.
The freshmen's races will start at 20
o'clock tomorrow morning The
course is two miles up stream with
the finish at the two-mile varsity mark
off the navy yard. Immediately after
the finish of the freshmen race, the
substitutes of two varsity crews will
pull a. 4-oared race, continuing up
stream from the navy yard and finish
ing off the Harvard quarters at the
starting line of varsity race.
Barring delays these two races Will
be finished by noon. The third race
will start opposite the Harvard quar-
tiers and the crews will pull four miles
down the river, finishing just above the
bridge, in the midst of a cluster of
steam yachts and excursion steamers.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-Lum-

siderably alarmed by the fear that the
Canadian Joint High Commission may
adopt measures that will injure their
interests and the trade in lumber be-
tween this country and Canada Some
time ago a number of leading lumber
dealers laid the matter before Con-
gresham julius Kahn, with q request
that he exert his influence to protect
their interests.
In response to letter to the Presi-
dent, Congressman Kahn received a let
ter from Secretary Cortelyou saying
that the matter has been called to the
attention of the Secretary of State,
who will instruct Americas represen-
tatives on the commission to lookout
for the lumbermen's interests.
