Once More Shows What n superb Racing

| New London, July 24.-In a fine
southwest breeze over the thirty mine
mile course from New Haven break
water to Sarahs ledge, at the mouth of
New London harbor, the Constitution
once again showed what a superb rae
ing craft she is in light weather and
smooth water. She beat the Columbia

twenty three seconds fairly and square

tuition could not be exactly calculated
as she has not been measured, but
roughly speaking, she beat Columbia
six minutes and forty-six seconds cor
rected time. There were no fiukes, the
wind holding true and steady with the
exception of shift of couple of points
after wo-thirds of the distance had
been covered.
Sailing dead before the wind is by no
means exciting, all the sensational ele-
ments of a sturdy thresh to windWard

sea being smooth the yachts 8ltded
along with great speed.
Not a single mishap occurred to a
yacht, but the Constitution and the Co
lumbia very narrowly escaped disas-
trous collision as they crossed the start
ing line-a collision, too, which might
have wrecked one or both of the yachts.
The rivalry between Captain Rhodes OF
the Constitution, and Captain Barr, OF
the Columbia Is intense Both are past
masters in the art of sea -jockeying and
neither will concede single point to
the other AS they were manoeuvring
for the weather point just before the
start Barr got the windward position,
with the Constitution closed under his
lee. The steam yacht Narada, which
was acting as the committee boat, was
anchored at the weather end of the line.
The Constitution luffed up sharp, leav-

herself and the Narada--a passage
which nine captains out of ten would
have thought unsafe to tackle, put

STEEL OPERATORS ACTIVE
ARE EYIDENTL DETERMINED ON
EARLY BREAKING OF STRIKE.
Non Union Men Sent to WelIsvfl1e to
Assist In Starting the Plant There-An
Attempt to be Made to Start Mill
Where the Amalgamated Associatto
Has Little Control.

Pittsbug, Pa, July 24.-Two moves,
it is reported, were made by the ag-
gressive officials of the American Sheet
breaking of the strike. One was the
shipping of some of the non union men
that have been employed In the Van
dergrift mills of the company to Wells
vile, to assist in the starting of the
plant there. 1t was stated that the
men were to be shipped to Wellsville
during the early evening and would
reach there after dark.
AS a consequence of this report there
is suppressed excitement pervading
Wellsville which at any moment may
result in a serious condition of af-
fairs. Both strikers and officials of the
company are on the alert and ready for
any emergency.
The impression is strong tonight that
the general officers of the United States
Steel corporation have become deter
mined on the subject of the early
breaking of the strike and to ultimate
ly force the operation of all the idle
plants.
The second move that is understood
to have been initiated to-day is the
starting of the Hyde Park plant of the
American Sheet Steel company. This
plant has remained idle since the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company took hold of
the property The company believes
there will be less difficulty in starting
this plant than where the Amalgamat-
ed associa tiun has control.
The question of the manufacturers
securing injunctions against the Anal
gamated association was discussed
guardedly during the day. Assistant
Secretary M. F. Tighe said he did not
think the measure would be resorted to
at this stage of the proceedings even
if it was contemplated for later day.
There was practically no cause for such
a measure and if there was, he doubted
if, under the conditions that exist at
present, the courts would grant such
orders

early attention.

number, committed suicide about $50
last evening by drinking carbolic acid.
He called at Woods drug store early
last evening and asked for four ounces

the order was filed.
He then went home, and about $50

him and at once detected a strong odor
of carbolic acid. She realized at once
what he had done and sent for ply
sician Before the doctor arrived, how
ever, he was dead. Medical Examiner
Bartlett was called, and after an in
vestigation decided that it was clearly
a case of suicide. The bottle, a four
ounce one, which contained the acid
from which the unfortunate man drank
was found on the floor beside him and
about one quarter of 1t had been taken.
Mr. Perkins was sixty-siX years of
age and formerly conducted gas lamp
business on Chapel street. just above
Warner hall He had been drinking
heavily Of late, and it is thought that
this had affected his mind and led to
his terrible act He leaves a wife.
Mr.. Perkins was formerly one of the
firm of Botsford & Perkins, 936 Chapel
street, but few years ago Mr.. Per-
kir.s went in business for himself, and
Mr.. Botsford took James M. English
as partner, that firm being known as
Botsford * English.
A few years ago Mr.. Perkins was
the best gasfitter in New
Haven. and was employed almost ex-
by the university in doing it's
work. His body was taken to the un-
establishment of Lewis S5
Maycock about 10 o'clock last night.

ten persons present, nine are women.
Good progress was made during the

the day, Robert l.. Fosburgh, the ia

the accused, testifying. A number of
exciting incidents occurred to-day, the
first coming when, after Mr.. Joyner,
for the defense, had concluded his able
presentation of what he claimed he
could prove, Frederick W. Lund, the
bookkeeper and paymaster of the Fos

he felt some of the men who were en-
ployed by the firm were dangerous. He
said he knew they carried weapons

the most of the work. He had 270 men
on the payroll at times, paying them
every two weeks at the office of his
works They were principally Italians
from New York, but three Or four other
nationalities were represented. Mr.. Fos-
burgh described the day previous to
the tragedy. His wife had returned on
that day from st. Louis, where she had
been for SIX weeks on account of the
illness of her father. He spoke of Miss
Sheldon as on visit to his house, hav-
ing been there for two or three weeks.
Mr.. Fosburgh then told of the shoot
ing. He said he was awakened by his
wife and asked her what the trouble
was. He was at that time lying on his
right side. but he turned to his left
and saw what appeared to be a light
moving in the hallway. He knew that
something was wrong. He raised HIM

walking into the room toward his bed,

within ten inches of his face.
He struck the man on the muscle of

PROFESSOR KOCH'S THEORY.
British Government Appoints Com
mission t. Investigate 1t.


London, July 24-At a banquet given
tonight to Professor Koch, Sir James
Crichton- Browne announced that the
British authorities had appointed a
commission to inquire into the return
between human and bovine tubercu-
losis.
The Daily Mail publishes an inter-
view with Lord Lister, in the course
of which he is represented as having
said that he was absolutely unable to
believe the statement of Professor
Koch that human beings could not get
consumption through drinking the milk
of diseased cows, the evidence to the
contrary being far too overwhelming.
Sir William Broadbent declined to
say how far Professor Koch's state
ment might be correct in view of the
fact that tuberculosis, while generally
decreasing, was on the increase among
children. ~
London, July 24.-The principal paper
before the British congress on tubercu-
losis to-day was read by Professor
Brouardel of Paris, who urged interna-
tional legislation. He maintained that
the disease was durable He also said
any measures tending to limit the raw
ages of alcoholism would diminish the
mortality from consumption Professor
Brouardel declines to accept Professor
Koch's theory that tuberculosis cannot
be propagated by the meat and milk
of tubercular cattle and said he thought
1t easy to protect the population from
this contamination by legislation.

Il UTHORSHIlp OF THE BIBLE.

Holy Ghost Wrote 1t.

Buffalo, July 24.--"I believe that the
Holy Ghost wrote the Bible from Gene
sis to Revelation: that he is a person
ality and will make it clear to any one
who reads the book in the right way"
said DR.. James M. Gray, Of Boston, in
his speech before the PanAmerican Bi-
BILE Congress this morning. The speak
er explained that the right way is to
read each book or gospel or epistle
through at single reading and do this
many times. If this method is pursued
there is no need of other aids of any
kind-books, charts, maps, explanations
or anything else. His theme was Syn
