Rongh Water on Thames Interferes
 With Ysie Practice.


 Yale Quarters. Gales Ferry Conn June 9.-The rough water on the Thames river this afternoon interfered greatly with the work of the crews, and the three boats shipped considerable pelled to row back to their quarters in fours.
 The freshman went out at five o'closk and rowed up stream for three quar- ters of a mile, and were coached along general lines, especially getting the hands away quickly. Blagden. stroke of the freshman boat broke an oar dur ing practice. The freshmen substitutes were given practice in the pair oar boats.
 A change was made in the four oar crew this afternoon. Johnson was ta- ken out at three and Laws took his place The crew was compelled to practice in the cove owing to rough wa- ter.
 At 6:9O the Varsity crew went out and rowed down to the Harvard quarters The crew used the new oars which arrived this morning. Owing to the rough water it was necessary to row slowly, and the stroke was not put up over 2S. On the return to quarters the boat was nearly swamped and the crew was compelled to return in fours. The crew still has a tendency to hang on the catch and finesh, and the coach ing to-day was for the purpose of elimi- mating this trouble.

PATIENTS LOST IN A FIRE
SANATARTUM FOR INEBRI4TES
 DESTROYED IN CHICAGO.
Ten Persons Lose Their Lives and Thirty Are Injured-Some of the vic- tims Strapped Co Thoir Beds Owing to DeIirium Tremens Spread of Firo so Rapid Their Rescue Was Impossible.

| Chicago, June 9.-Nine men and one
 woman were killed and about thirty
 persons were injured in a fire, which
 this afternoon destroyed the sanitarium conducted by the Saint Luke's society,
 at the corner of Wabash avenue and 1 21st street. The society occupied the building which was long known as the
 Hotel Woodruff, and for a brief period as the Hotel Lancaster. By far the
 greater portion of the patients received | in the institution were those seeking
 cure for the drink habit and those who
 were addicted to the use of drugs When the fire broke out there was on
 the fifth floor a number of patients suf- fering from delirium tremens and some who were deranged by drugs. Several
 and it was found impossible to save them, so rapidly did the fire spread through the building. The dead so far as known are:
 S. J. Newell, Carl A. Carlson, Joseph Harrington Dr. J. T. Stanton, George A. Ribbick of Hillsdale, Mich, William Kent, alderman of the Fourth ward, Chicago; John B. Kapman, Mrs M. Baumann, pr. H. B. Boyd, seventy eight years of age, and member of the medical staff of the institution.
 The fire originated in the basement of the building and spread rapidly to the upper stories through the elevator shaft. The blaze was discovered by James Newell, a grocer, who was driv- ing through the alley in the rear of the building. He noticed smoke coming from one of the basement windows and ran into the engine room to discover the cause Behind the boilers in the center of the cellar and within a few feet of the elevator shaft he saw small flame. The next instant the flames were caught by the draught in the ee- vator shaft and carried up with a roar. Newell shouted to several men in the alley to give the alarm, and to alarm the inmates of the building. Several hurried to do this, but by the time they reached the first floor of the building the flames had been carried to the roof, had eaten through it and were leaping high in the air
 As the cry of fire rang throughout the building the patients sprang from their beds and before they could be prevent ed several had jumped from the win dows to the pavement. The fire de- partment was on the scene within few minutes and as the windows were filled with people shrieking for help, the firemen devoted their first efforts to save lives and allowed the fire to burn While this was the means of saving a

PRESIDENT PATTON RESIGNS
GREAT SURPRTSEAT PRINCETON N
 COMMENCEMENT.
Professor Woodrow Wilson Unani- mousIy Elected to the Ofice-President Patt0n's Reason for Retiring His Dee sire to Carry on Ills Literary Plans on
 a Larger Scale-To Retain His Pro-
fessOrshtp.

Princeton, N. J., June 9.--The chief | event in connection with Princeton S one hundred and fifty-fifth annual | commencement, as it was the great | surprise, came to-day in the annual | meeting of the board of trustees when | President Francis L. Patton resigned the presidency, and Professor Wood- row Wilson, Mccormick professor of jurisprudence and politics, was elected to succeed him.
 There was a full attendance of the trustees and after the meeting had been called to order President Patton handed in his resignation and also at
 the same time suggested that Professor
 Wilson be elected to succeed him. A prominent member of the board of trustees said that President Patton so
 strongly urged his own resignation that the board could not do otherwise than accept it. He also said that it was one of the most harmonious meet ings ever held by the board and that President Patton's suggestion that Woodrow Wilson be nominated to sue ceed him was acted upon and the elec- tion was made unanimous on the first ballot. When seen by The Associated Press correspondent afterwards, Presi- dent Patton made the following state ment:
 T have resigned my office as presi- dent of the university because I desire to carry on my literary plans on a larger scale than I could do by retain ing the presidency. This is really all there is to say. I trust the students will be as loyal to my successor, Presi- dent Wilson. as they have been to me.
 T shall retain my professorship in the university in the chair of ethics and the philosophy of religion. I have been president of the university for fourteen years"
 As soon as the seniors left the can non exercises they marched to pr. Pat tons home, and for a few minutes cheered him. Dr. Patton responded Then the class marched to president elect Wilson's home and after several cheers were given, Professor Wilson briefly addressed them, saying that he was a Princeton man and that his in- terests had always been in the univer- sity since his student days and that they would always remain there. He stated that it was too early to say any thing more President Wilson graduat- ed from Princeton in 1879 and since 1890 has been at the head of the department of jurisprudence and politics He is the first layman to become president of tn university, all the others having been ordained ministers.
