five-inch propeller was attached to this
end of it. 1t was such an absurd look
Ing craft that everybody laughed when
its builder put the unwieldy thing into
the water.
A strong west wind was blowing. The
queed boat quivered for a second as it
struck the water. then slowly but
steadily came to the wind The wind
mill caught the force Of the gale and
began to revolve. Little by little the
boat forged ahead. The harder the wind
blew the more rapidly it gained head
way. The forward keel and the after
weather vane kept it dead in the wind
The absurd little vessel stood out from
the dock until its owner had to get in a
rowboat to capture it. Everybody
cheered and the wager was declared
won. 1t is quite probable that the in
ventor will build a boat on the same
principle big enough to carry him and
friend or two. The little model has
created no end of talk along the lake
shore.

VOICE over WIRE.
Mysterious Warming
to Receiver Barlow
By Telephone.
QUAY WAS FOILED.
Witness Tells How He Saved
Evidence Being
Destroyed.

Philadelphia, April 11.-Receiver
Quay trial today by the statement that
he had broken up the dead cashier
desk, and taken therefrom the books
and letters, pertaining to the Quay
trial at the behest of a mysterious in
formant, who spoke to him over the
telephone from Harrisburg and stated
that there was plan on foot to steal
the compromising documents that
night
He was, he said, never able to learn
who his mysterious friend was. The
fact was CLEANED from Mr.. Barlow that
the bank books and letters were prac-
tically in control of Judge Gordon from
April until September of last year. He
considered this proper, as Judge Cor
don was the confidential adviser of
President McManus of the bank. Judge
Gordon gave his testimony in quiet,
convincing manner. He deprecated
the stories of conspiracy against Sen
ator Quay that have been persistently
put in circulation. He admitted that
the papers had been photographed at
his suggestion, but merely for purposes
| of safety.
He also admitted showing them to
David Martin, the leader of the anti
Quay faction, to John Wanaaker and
to others.
Senator Quays lawyers began what
| is regarded as the all-important con-
tention in their fight for his acquittal,
namely, that the books of the broken
Peoples Bank are not competent testi-
mony against the accused man, and
| ha admitted in
evidence. On the decision of this point
rests the entire fabric of the prosecu-
TONS case.
| Should Judge Biddle decide the poin
well taken the commemorative cast
will necessarily collapse. In order t.
secure the most effective presentation
of thise phase of defense, Mr.. quay
brought to his aid the skill of DaviC
| T. Watson of Pittsburg, one of tht
ablest attorneys in Pennsylvania. Mr.
Watson spoke with great force FOL
nearly two hours. The district attor'
ney opposed the proceedings in this
phase of the case by offering as evil
| dence the books of the bank, extending
over a number of years, and along VIII
them the account books, letter press
book and letters from Senator Quay
and State Treasurer Haywood, founC
in the desk of Cashier Hopkins, after
| that official had committed suicide.
He read a long summary of what the
books and papers showed, and stated
what he expected to prove by them, tc
wit. that through a conspiracy with
Cashier Hopkins, State Treasurer Hay
wood and other state treasurers, and
nossibly other officials of the bank
Senator Quay used a certain fixed
amount of state money deposited in the
institution and received interest on an
other fixed portion of the state depos-

TEN EYCK MATCHED.
Will Meet Harry Vail at
Halifax Early in the Year.

James A. Ten Eyck has been matched
for three-mile, single-shell race with
Harry Vail of st. John, N. B., the COM
ing summer. The race will be rowed at
Halifax, early in the yaar.
Ten Eyck took no especial part in the
arrangements except that he gave his
consent several months ago for such
a race, and friends in Halifax made the
match. Last fall there was consider
able talk of match race between him
and Vail in the single shells. 1t arose
during a fever of rowing that struck
Halifax last fall. The Lynch brothers,
who rowed double, won several races,
and an attempt was made to secure a
match between them and Ten Eyck
and Rogers. The effort was not sue
cessful.
Vail went to Halifax and defeated one
of the Lynch brothers. The latter met
with mishap which delayed him, and
his friends were confidenet that he
would have won had he not been in
terfered with. Another race was ar
ranged and Vail won this one also. OF
course, his stock went up, and in look
ing for an opponent Ten Eyck was a
logical one, for he defeated Vail sew
eral years ago at Philadelphia. Nego-
tiations for a race between the men
could not be brought to close, on ac-
count of the lateness of the season
Ten Eyck delegated authority to friends
to make the match, and acting on his
authority they have made it,

refusal to answer questions asked Dy
the officers and the prosecuting attor-

the ground that it was an attempt TO

The court sustained the defense oh
the position taken, but long argument
and the citation of authorities preceded
the handing down of the opinion
During the examination of the police
men, an effort was made to prove Mrs.
Georges refusal to answer any and all
questions at the time of and since her
arrest. Some police officers testified
that Mrs. George on being taken 20

PRICE STILL ILL.
Rest Of Tech Boys Recov-
cred From Poisoning.

After a week of suffering, the men,
bers of the Tech Glee Club have recov-
cred from their recent poisoning, and
last evening gave a concert at West
Boylston.
That is, all but one of Them Harry
Price, 49, who was affected worse than
the rest, is still in the hands of a
physician.
The glee club boys have all been
taking treatment from DR.. L. C,
Nichols the greater part of the week.
1t now seems almost certain that the
poisoning was the result of bad milk
which made sick nearly 200 residents
of Leominster and vicinity last week,
although Ralph Knowles, the we'll
known Pilgrim Church tenor, ascribes
his illness to the fare of a certain
Fftchburg hosiery where the club
stopped.
