New York, July 2l.-The yacht
Venitzia, which went down in a
squat off Sands Point last Thurs
day afternoon, drowning the owner,
Arthur T. Colburn, of Philadelphia
his two daughters and two men,
bers Of the crew. was towed into
this city early this morning and
tiedu p 10 the yacht basin of A. J.
Mcintosh, at the foot OF Twenty
sixth street. South Brooklyn.
On board the vessel were the
bodies of Annette and Ida Elizabeth
Colburn, the only ones that have
been recovered 80 far. The bodies
were removed to an undertaking
establishment at Third avenue, from
where they will be sent to Delaware
City, Del, tomorrow.
The Venitzia was raised by the
wrecking tug Champion, belonging
to the Merritt-Chapman Wrecking
Company, under the supervision Of
J. H. Mcintosh, 1t was an unusual.

hours separating the tugs start for
the scene Of the disaster yesterday
morning from the. return with the
yacht 10 tow, The yacht was found
lying in sixty feet OF water about
five miles from land. and every sail
still set. 1t had sunk head FORE
most, so the bowsprit had bored in
to the mud and then careeued to
the port. After the vessel had been
put on its keel divers were sent
down to close up the hull. They also
made preliminary search tor
bodies, but could not find any.
AS soon as the yacht had been
pumped out sufficiently to raise it
out Of the mud the Champion towed
it over to Premiston Point, where
the work Of pumping out the hull
was completed within short dis
tance from shore.
The bodies Of the Colburn sisters
were found in the cabin when the
yacht had been fioated. The body
Of Miss Ida lay OF the floor near
the companionway, which she ap-
parently was trying to reach when
the yacht went down.
Miss Annettes body was found
in one of the berths. 1t is probable
that sne was asleep when the squall
struck, and that she never had a
chance to become conscious of what
had happened. 1t had been thought
that the bodiesof Mr.. Colburn and
Captain Flint might be found in the
cabin too. because the two men
were supposed.to have been carried

in refusing to shorten the sail before

loss OF five lives. The license was

THERE should be no need Of pro-
hibltIng racing on Pennsylvania
avenue, or any other street in the
city. Men who own horses know
the risk they take by racing their
horses il the city limits, where
they are in danger Of running over
people. The pedestrians have some
rights that the owners OF horses
are bound to respect. We are glad
to see that the Chief IS determined
to break up the practice OF racing
on this avenue, Tie should also
stop the corner longing on Mary
land avenue, as it IS very unpleas-
ant for ladies passing by, to be
subjected to the insulting remarks
OF these corner ioungers.

Rome, the Pope gave him the assurance
that no change will be made by the
church in the administration OF religious
affairs in the Philippines, Cuba or Porto

Spanish bishop of Manila would be re-

he was in Ireland he was entertained by
Cardinal Logue, the oldest cardinal in
the Catholic church. At Wexford he gave
an address on the welfare OF Ireland. He
advised Irishmen TO remain in their own
country instead OF coming to this coun-
try.

The proposed automobile races at New
por..yhich have been the cause of a sooc
deal OF discussion were brought TO the
attention OF the appellate division OF th'
supreme court, today.
Attorney ArnSid Green appeared befor'
Judge Wilbur and asked for restrain
ing order on HIS fling OF bill In equity
against the city council of Newport ane
many others including William X. Van.
derbit, Jr.
According TO a vote of the Newport city
council these races are TO take place
Aug. soth. There will be a hearing of
the case on Wednesday at IL a. m. This
hearing promises to be interesting. Very
serious are the results of the race as
viewed by the parties who have taken
the matter into court.
The decision OF the court on Wednes-
day will probably have on effect more ex-
tensive than this state because just now
the owners OF automobiles and locomo-
biles are much interested in the racing OF
their machines.
'fhe main charge In the bill is that the
action OF the city council in granting per-
mission TO parties to conduct these races
is beyond the power OF that body
and that while a speed of some 40 miles
an hour will be reached legally there can
be no travelling in the highways of city
az a greater speed than 10 miles an hour.
Today's hearing was as Is customary In
such cases an exparte one.
The ilers OF the bill are Alexander
AEassiz. Theodore NJ Davis, William
Grosvenor. Mary Augusta King. Ethel r.
King. Joseph ID. Peckham. Mary l.. Hunt

and Emma Auchlncloss of New York and
