McKeesport Pa, Mch. 1.--(Spl)-An
accident ON the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston railroad last night, which
cost the life of Engineer White and in
jured several people, was the result of
some fiend's work.
A switch which allowed freight to
pass over to the passenger track was
open. Who opened the switch is mys-
cry.
Engineer White, when he saw that
an accident could not be averted, put
on the brakes and stuck to his post.
His bravery undoubtedly saved the
lives of many Of his passengers.

DEBAUCHERY IN GUAM
Marines Charged With GAM
ing, Theft, Drunkenness
Commander Schroeder's Order restricting the
Marines Liberty Reflects Upon The In
tegrity Of the Whole Force.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, June 27.-The attention of
the Navy Department has been formally
called to what appears to be an unsatis-
factory condition of affairs in Guam. The
incoming mail has brought a copy of an
order issued by the naval commandant of
the island, Commander Seaton Schroeder,
denouncing the "hoodlumism and lawless-
ness" which he states, are rampant at
the station The order refers to terror
ism, thefts, gambling and drunkenness,
which have brought the United States
force into disrepute." Reference also is
made to the theft of a barrel of whs
key from the medical store-the only
spirits on the island-as we'll as a sum
Of money amounting to about $500 from
one of the marines and the order closes
with the imposition Of restrictions on the
liberty of the marines.
So wholesale is his denunciaton of the
marines that it is believed the Navy De-
partment VIII be obliged to look into the
matter. General Haywood, the command
ant of marines, who has received reports
in that capacity of the happenings in
Guam, has been called upon to furnish
such information as he has and it may
be that court of inquiry will be APP.
pointed
General Haywood was at the Navy De-
partment today and had conference with
Acting Secretary Hackett. He stated af-
ter the interview that the incoming mail
from Guam had brought him no report
from Major H. X. White, the ranking
marine officer on the island, or from any
other source, concerning the reported
troubles. The General is naturally very
much surprised to say the least, at the
extraordinary scope of Commander
Schroeders order, rejecting as it does
upon the integrity of every officer and
man of the marine corps on duty in the
island.

New London, Conn, June 27.-Yale won
the Varsity race with Harvard this even
ing by less than length in the last
100 yards of the four mile struggle. 1t
was one of the most beautiful contests
between the crews of the two universities
ever seen on the river. From the sound
of the referees pistol until the finish it
was anybodys race Harvard got the
best of the start and was slightly ahead
in the first mile, then Yale pulled to
the front. Harvard spurted and the
boats were even. Then the crimson shell
was bit ahead and at the three mile
mark it seemed as if Harvard would be
victorious but the awful pace was telling
on the Cambridge boat. Yale came up
alongside again and down the long line
between rows of yachts that fanked the
line, it was absolutely an even thing.
The shells entered the finishing mile
with beautiful water conditions between
the long lane of yachts, and it remained
for this last mile to afford the most spec
tacular contest seen on the Thames for
many a year.
With guns booming and sirens shrieking
the two boats swept down the line. Har-
