AS sequel to the clash between
Harry Payne Whitney and his brother
in-law, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.. grow
ing out of the dispute in the boat race
held at Newport on Tuesday, both men
have filed formal protests which will be
considered by the racing committee
that lis yet to be appointed. This will
be done when Herman Duryea arrives,
The Veda, Cornelius Vanderbilt'e

rapidly over luling y Veda When
near the turn at Bishops buoy. Veda
jibed to starboard and set her spinna-
ker to port Dorothy was close astern.
and Veda luffed across Dorothy's bow.
The spinnakers got mixed and the
young men got mixed also After the
Dorothy got out of the tangle she
forged ahead and won the race. When
the owners came ashore the arguments
were renewed. Whitney's grounds for
protest are that had the Dorothy luffed

Young Vanderbilt claims that the ov

The fight is over the Interpretation of

INTERIOR OF A MAN PHOTOGRAPHED


Chicago July 6.-The inner walls of
the stomach of James o. Foster, n
wealthy lumberman of Cleveland, were
successfully photographed yesterday,
with the result that a large tumor was
discovered to have formed in the organ,
which according to the physicians in
attendance would have caused his
death in a short time. Mr.. Foster has
left for Cleveland, taking the photo
graph with him and with Ii as a guide
he will be operated on in a Cleveland
hospital.
The apparatus used in taking the pic
ture consists of rubber tube one
eighth of an inch In diameter and about
three feet long. At the end of the tube
is a rubber bulb. the walls of which are
as thin as IL is possible to make them,
giving the bulb when inflated the ap-
pearance OF a toy balloon. The interior
of the bulb is coated with a photo
graphic emulsion and acts as the plate
on which the picture is taken. The pa
tient Is made to swallow the bulb which
Is tnen inflated by means of air blown
into the tube until the bulb entirely
fills the stomach. it's flexible sides con-
forming to the walls OF the stomach.
An X-ray exposure is then made, the
tube is withdrawn and the picture on
the thin rubber bulb is developed as in
ordinary X-ray photographs.

Soon after the conclusion of the war
with Spain the officers of the New
York who had served with Rear Ad-
miral Sampson presented TO Mrs.
Sampson a massive silver loving cup,
upon which were engraved scenes of
the blockade in which the flagship
participated. Mrs. Sampson accepted
the gift with pleasure, but asked the
officers that II be taken on board the
New York and used on some appropri-
ate occasion, and then returned to her,
that IL might have an additional sig
nificance, from its use by the officers.
The appropriate occasion came Mon
day night during the complimentary
dinner given to Rear Admiral Samp-
son at Newport in honor of the ami
versary OF the destruction of Cevera' S
fleet. At an appointed time during the
dinner the cup was brought TO the
quarter deck, filed with champagne.
and, starting with the rear admiral, ii
was passed around, each officer placing
1t to his lips and slipping the liquid, and
then passing IL to his neighbor, until IL
had completed the round of the table,
each guest being applauded as he
fafsed- tt to his lips. Fhe cup will now
be returned to Mrs. Sampson.
Rear Admiral Sampson hauled down
his flag yesterday and left Newport on
an extensive leave. He will visit his
daughter. Mrs. Smith wife of Lieut..
