George a. Warren, one OF the examiners
for the Civil Service Commission. The
latter was present at the hearing yester-
day.
Peculiar Phase.
The case of Herbert Warren Is a pc
culiar one. which may develop that some
Government officials are altogether too
Jealous. On Friday, January 3, David c.
Owings, an inspector for the Postoffice
Department, imagined he saw Warren
pouch. and the following day caused to
be placed in as many different boxes on
Warren's route three decoy letters for the
purpose of trapping him.
These letters should have been turned
into the postofiice about o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, January 4. Two of them
were promptly delivered on the facing
table" at the office at that time. but the
third, directed to Miss Sallie Jordon
Hotel Walton. Philadelphia, Pa" was not
to be found
While the search for this letter was be-
ing made Warren had gone out on another
collecting trip. He returned about two
hours later, and was arrested by Inspec-
tor Owings just as he entered the Post
Office building. He was taken to the police
station on Eleventh Street. and there.
among the contents OF his sack, was found
the missing decoy letter.
Tells His story.
Warren, it is said declared he did not
know at what box he got the letter, or
how it came in his sack. It contained
five marked one-dollar bills. The envel-
ope had not been tampered with in any
way. and no doubt would have been
turned into the sorting room within lew
minutes had Warren not been intercepted
by Owings but a charge it is said of
carrier. Later this was changed to de
laying and OBTAINING" a letter.

and admitted he had had them put there.
He told of Warren's arrest and ad-

Without Authority i'm Law.
THAT the persons purporting to con-

without any authority of law on the Esd
day of December. 1901, said summons be-

Court OF the District of Columbia under
the pretended authority Of several acts
OF Congress which ceased to be the law

December, A. ID. 1901.
That said summons commanded the
SAID persons to appear in Criminal Court

the younger children plyed him with
questions about the chances for the

the races would be postponed until to-

They are all numbered among the

Roosevelt children had no use for the
blue emblem of Yale. They would have
nothing but the crimson colors, and they
bought all the Harvard flags the fakir
had. AS soon as this transaction was
completed the children returned to the
Dolphin, waving their flags from the
launch on the way. A big crowd was
attracted to the boat landing to see the
young Roosevelts.
Reaching the Dolphin two of the Har
ward flags were placed at the ends OF
the mainyard far aloft, and were a con-
spicuous feature of the ships decora-
tion. Smaller flags were attached to
davits on each side of the vessel. and
two more at the port and starboard
gangways.
Il tell you. I'm going to show my col
ors," said Kermit Roosevelt to his
father as he returned to the ship with
the flags.
The President spent the morning and
early afternoon quietly sitting on the
after deck in a steamer chair, Sur
rounded by his family. He read the
morning papers and later book. Miss
Carow. Mrs. Roosevelts sister, was in
the family party.

Col. McCook took luncheon with the
President, but Colonel Tyler went
ashore with Miss Alice Roosevelt at II
O'Clock. Miss Roosevelt joined the Ty-
Ter family and a party of friends on one
of the observation trains to see the
race. The President and the other
members of his family remained on the
Dolphin to witness the races, the ship
being at anchor near the finish line.
Newspaper bulletins regarding the
Kings Illness were carried on board the
Dolphin from time to time during the
day, and the President read them with

Yale's bow oar was pretty well tagged
out. for as soon as the crew stopped
rowing, he toppled over until his head
struck the water, but No. pulled him
back into the shell, ard he quickly re-
vived.
Then the launches steamed up. took
the oarsmen aboard. and towing the

other ovation in store for victor and
yanquished alike, and the blue of Yale
was in the ascendant.
Trouble Galore.
The troubles of the regatta committee
began without delay. The course was
finally kept clear, but before this had
been accomplished the referee had
started the freshmen eights from oppo-
site the navy yard at 7:10 O'Clock. The
John II. Starin was directly in their
way as they rowed down practically on
even terms to the mile mark but the
steamer fortunately drifted far enough
away to allow the shells to pass. At
that point Yale had one-haIf a length
the best of it.
But while Yale's crew had the style
and the good looks. so too speak, Har-
ward had the beef. the sand and the
heart. As Yale continued to draw away
and had three quarters of length the
best of it at the mile and cne-quarter, it
was with tremendous outbreak of pent

saw their shell gradually creep up until

When they dashed across the line

so much excitement that the oarsmen,

miles, proving faster than the Harvard
varsity, who covered the distance half

President Roosevelt, quite fatisued

cheered as the train pulled out of the
