COLUMBIA WINS AGAIN.
Beats the Defender in Second Trial
Race Today.

BATEMAN'S POINT, r. l.. September T.
When the Columbia and the Defender
came out this morning for their second for
NAL trial race under the auspices of the
Americas cup committee, charged with the
duty of selecting a cup defender to sail
against the Shamrock, they were bending
before fine northwest breeze, with a clear
sky and smooth sea. The wind was
blowing about eight knots an hour.
The committee today decided to give the
boats a thirty-mile triangular course. ten
miles to leg. The flagship Corsair took
up her position at the starting line at 1915
am, and five minutes later hoisted the
club letter denoting course off shore IN
a southeasterly direction for the first leg,
then about west toward Block Island for
the second. then back to the lightship.
The starting gun was fired at 11:2J, and
the Columbia crossed about forty seconds
after the signal. The Defender was about
twenty-five seconds behind the Columbia.
The Columbia rounded the second mark
apparently at 1:27:45.
The Defender turned the second mark at
1 1880, or six minutes and five seconds be-
hind the Columbia. This shows an appar-
ent gain for the Columbia on the second
leg of two minutes and thirty-five seconds
Both boats f1attened sheets after turning
and stood for the finish.
The Columbia crossed the finish line at
2:43:20 p.m

The headquarters are in Kansas City and

formed all over the United States One of
the organizers said today:
The object of the organization is to do
away with woman labor as much as posi-
Bile. In all departments of commerce and
industries generally, women have to a GER
tain extent taken the place of men in some
occupations. The trouble is that they are
not paid the same wages as men and that
they keep men, who are the heads of fam
lilies, out of good positions. We 20 not OBJ
ject to women working. but we are OPP
posed to their taking the place of men for
half, and often third of the wages that
would be paid to a man for the same work.
We will work to have all persons paid
equal wages for equal work"

FUNERAL OF COL. WM WALL.
Venerable Resident Who DeveIOped
the COttOnsecI OIL IndustrY

The funeral services over the body of the
late Col. William Wall, who died Satur-
day evening at his residence, No. 1918 N
street. were held at the Ascension Church
at O'Clock this afternoon, and were
largely attended. Delegations were pres
from the G.. A. r.; Beacon Lodge, l. Q. O..
F., and Acacia Lodge, F. A. A. NJ The
remains will be privately inferred at Rock
CT, elk cemetery.
Col. Wall, who was eighty-four years old,
had been in i'll health for some time, and
several weeks ago began to fail rapidly,
He was born in Alexandria, but came to
Washington when IA boy, and had resided
her ever since. He entered the regular
army in 1857, and served on Cen Stones
staff, and during the civil war commanded
a regiment which participated with great
honor III many battles and engagements
AT the close of hostilitics he left The army
and entered the clothing business here the
firm being Wall {; Stevens. which after
ward became Wall & Robinson, his partne T
being MIR Bushrod Robinson.
He retired from this business to develop
pa tents he had secured to extract oil from
cotton seed, as well as remove tn lint
from it, and to his efforts this great COM
nercial addition was largely due. His
headquarters were in New York, but he
always retained his resid nee in Washing
ton. He amassed 4 large fortune from his
patents and their application, but met with
rcverses after he .Ictired from active bust
ness, about tw~ nty years ago, owing, it Is
alleged, to the mismaua cement of his af-
fairs by some of these to whom he had
intruSted them.
When Ascension Church was erected,
Col. Wall built the altar and gave it all
its furnishings. He was a man of great
public spirit, of genial and generous dispo-
sition, and highly regarded. He is
survived by his wife.
