done but our hope is that as we raise
the weed we can take care of ourselves

afraid Of any contest that may be

NEWPORT, r. l., June Awhile dash
Ing along in a good whole sail breeze
off BrentOn's Reef lightship this after
nocn with three lower sails set, the big
hollow steel mast on the Belmont syndf-
cate cup defender Constitution collapsed
like a blow pipe through the sudden
breaking of the starboard and Windward
spreader.
The mast broke off only a few feet
below the spreader, about three-fifths Of
the length of the mast above the deck
and as the topmast was carried away at
the same time none of the spars except
the boom struck the deck and the lat
ter only hit in light blows which did
not injure the hun at all. None Of the
sails was torn and all can be used again

and with him were w. Butler Duncan,
the manager of the yacht; Mr.. c. Oliver
1selin, who managed the Columbia two
years ago, Wnen she sustained a similar
accident; Rear Commodore c. L. F. Rob-
1nson, Of the New York Yacht club, and
Mr.. Newbury Thorne, and all escaped in

Bristol tomorrow morning, where an
other steel mast is nearly finished. The
yacht will be Immediately refitted, but
1t will probably be ten days or two
weeks before she is in shape to sail again.
so that the races off this port scheduled
for June Is and II will have to be post
poned
About noon Mr.. Herreshoff came down
from Bristol and looked over the two
sails, which were then getting gradually
Into shape. After the crew had finished
their dinner, the main sail was again
hoisted and preparations made for a
spin outside the harbor. The wind at the
time was blowing about fifteen or etgh
teen knots, and as the tide was a strong
ebb there was quite a lump of a sea In
the narrow channel at the mouth of the
harbor.
The No. 2 club top sail, however was
set and with nib and mainsail up the big
White sloop started away from her moor
tngs at a lively pace. 1t was practically
a dead beat down the channel and in the
cnoppy sea the yacht pitched not a lit
tie. There was more wind outside the
harhor, but the sea was smoother.

PROF. HERON EXPELLED
FREE THINKER Is NO LONGER A
CONGREGATIONAL

DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 4.-Prof.
George D. Heron, former applied Chris
tianity professor in Iowa college at Grin
nell, is no longer a Congregationalist
He was tried by a council of ministers
and elders of the church representing
eight organizations sitting at Grinnell
today on charge of Conduct unbecoming
a Christian and a gentleman" Evidence
was introduced to show cruel treatment
of his unusually loyal and deserving
wife, which finally resulted in divorce
proceedings and legal separation. A
lengthy letter from DR.. Heron was pre-
scented in his defense, but at the close Of
it's consideration the council decided the
charges were sustained and voted unani-
mcusly to eXpel him from the church.
No defense was expected, and evidence
introduced in the Heron divorce suit was
expected to form most Of the testimony.
Considerable surprise was expressed,
therefore, when 1t was announced that
DR.. Heron had sent letter in his own
defense, dealing with his specific, indi-
vidual case, and not with marriage and
divorce in general. The writer states
that he was called on a divine mission
as a sort Of new prophet, and that his
wife did not give him her sympathy and
appreciation, so that the home atmos-
phere was uncongenial. He and his wife
discussed the matter many times, he al
leges, and finally agreed to separate. and
he went away that the desertion plea
might be acceptable in court.

DR.. Deaver advocated immediate opera

The discussion that followed took a

Of the opinion that an operation should
not be performed until after all medical
means had been exhausted.
The discussion was opened by Drs 7.
N. Love, New York, who was followed
by Philip D. Marvel Atlantic City: A. A.
Jones, Buffalo, and others. Dr. Wethsr-

The committee on reorganization ap-
pointed at the meeting a year ago gave
out its report, which was circulated
among the members. This was the rock
upon which the peaceful waters Of the
formal session split. DR.. Mcconnell, Of
Pennsylvania, moved that it be read by
title and referred to the nominating COM
mittee. 1t developed in the course o. dis
custom, however, that the reorganiza-
ton committee had called IN an advi-
sorry committee composed Of members
from twenty-seven states, and that this
committee the day before had adopted
the plan unanimously. DR.. Harris, Of
New York, moved that the report be
referred to this board, with the members
Of the executive committee of the asso-
citation added. A vigorous effort was then
made by number of delegates to have
the matter referred to the nominating
committee, which was chosen by the
state delegations after adjournment, but
charge of the report will make their own
report today, and this will be the prin-
cipal business before today's session.
The scheme of reorganization hanging
fire is to have a Iess number of dele
gates in the future to do the work OF
the association. The association has, as
a rule, about 1000 delegates. and It IS
proposed to reduce this number to about
$50. According to the old scheme, there
is one delegate for every ten members.
There are many enemies to the new
scheme, but 1t Is impossible to make a
guess as to what the outcome Will be.

Election of the Popular St. Paul
Surgeon Is Regarded as a
Strong Probability.
Medical Men Spend a Busy Day,
Holding Sectional Conven-
tons in Several Places.

DR.. Charles A. Wheaton, of St Paul
Will in all probability be the next presi-
dent Of the American Medical association
1t developed at the big session and the
sessions of the sections in different parts
of the city yesterday that he is being
strongly backed by all the Northwestern
states. This is looked upon as a great
honor not only to the eminent surgeon
in question, but also to the SANITY City
and the state as well There are only
two other candidates for the presidency.
Dr. Frank Billings, Of Chicago. and DIT
John Wyeth, of New York The office
however, belongs to the Northwest, and
DIT Wheaton is the logical candidate
Dr. Wheaton has been praoticing In St
Paul for over twenty years, and Is one
OF the best surgeons in the Northwest
He Is universally admitted to be one
of the most popular men in his profess
sion. 1t was nineteen years ago that the
first visit of the association was made
to st. Paul. Members who were here
at that time remember the surgeon. to-
gether with DR.. A. J. Stone, DR. ]. F.
Fulton. and others as the chief enter
tainers of the visiting members. DR..
Wheaton has been here during his en-
tire professional career. He is a pro-
lessor in the surgery department of the
university and, in fact was prominently
active in organizing the medical depart
ment entire at that institution He is
chief surgeon Of St. Luke's hospital and
consulting surgeon at st. Joseph and
Bethesda hospitals. Dr. Wheaton does
not say he is a candidate; he is re-
ceiving his support unsolicited. He is re-
ceiving strong support from the Illinois
delegation. That state has $50 delegates.
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa and
neighboring states are also in line Then
the doctor has the advantage Of being
known all over the country, and has per-
sonal friends in every state. The other
candidates are also popular and have
considerable strength.
The nominating committee was ap-
pointed yesterday after the general ses-
sion at the Metropolitan opera house. II
consisted of ffty-three members The
committee win hold meeting today and
decide upon which man to recommend.
After the report of the committee has
been on the last day, the vote win be
taken. 1t generally happens mat the
man recommended by the committee is
elected.

ERIE WINS STEAMER RAGE
CLEVELAND BOAT DEFEATED DE-
TR0IT RACER IN A FAST,
EXCITING RUN
CONDITIONS FAVORED TAsHMoO
One Hundred Mile Course From
Cleveland to Erie Is Covered
In Railroad Time by
Both Boats.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 4-The 100
mile race from Cleveland to Erie today
between the Cleveland passenger steam
err City of Erie, owned by the Cleveland
and Buffalo Transit company, and the
Tasnmoo Detroits crack passenger boat,
owned by the White Star company, was
in many respects the most noteworthy
race ever sailed on fresh water.
The Erie covered the distance in 4
hours, 10 minutes and seconds, passing
the stake boat at Erie, l minute and 88
seconds ahead Of the Tashmoo, beating
the latter by 10 seconds elapsed time.
1t was pronounced by old vessel men to
be the prettiest race ever witnessed.
Aside from winning the supposed cham
pionshlp of the great lakes, the Erie won
about 100000 for those who bet on her.
Conditions under which the race was
sailed were ideal. There was a fair sky
and a sea as calm as a mill pond. These
conditions were more essential to the
Tashmoo, as she is light draught river
boat and would have been severely ham,
pered by wind and sea, while the Erie
was made to travel fast under all condt-
lions. The course was lined from start to
finish with excursion boats Of all kinds
and the shores were crowded at points
with people The noisy departure of the
racers at Cleveland was duplicated at the
finish. The whistles footed and people
cheered both victor and vanquished. It
was the prettiest race ever seen on the
great lakes.
NO EXTRA WEIGHT.
Both boats were stripped to fghting
trim. the decks were cleared Of every
thing that would eaten the wind On
board the Erie even the life boats had
been slowed away between decks. The
limited number of spectators carried on
each boat were confined to the cabins
and none were allowed on the decks.
Both racers were made as light as pos
slble. The Erie made no preparations
for the race, except to unload her freight
after coming to her dock in the morning
The Tashmoo had been scraped thor
oughly and. everything done to facilitate
her speed. From the start the result was
In doubt until within a few miles of the
finish. The result demonstrated that
both boats were evenly matched and ~
was surprised at the speed Of the other
The boats approximately made nearly
twenty4three miles an hour. 1t was neck
and neck from the starting point until
just about Fairport, where the Erie en-
countered shore water and fell three
lengths behind her rival. From Fairport
to Ashtabula she made no perceptible
gain, but finally picked up and passed
her rival. The Tashmoo sailed by spurts
getting ahead for a while, then falling
back, while the Erie maintained a steady
gait. When the victorious craft entered
the Cleveland harDor this evening on her
return from the race, she was greeted
with a tremendous ovation. Hundreds Of
steam whistles along the lake front and
river blew continually for nearly half an
hour, while thousands of people crowded
along the docks wildly cheering.
