The Challenger Lost Every One Oh
Its Three attempts To
Capture It.
LONDON THINKS 1T is LAST.
Chief Hope There Is That Canada WIN
Enter The Lists.

New York, Sept. 5.-The Reliance,
the American cup defender, won the
third and final race and the series for
that famous sea trophy, the Americas
cup. In a dense fog which prevented
vision beyond 200 yards she finished the
race at 5:5O:Oo, amid the reclamation of
the assembled fleet. The Shamrock
III, after running for more than an
hour i'll the fog, missed the finish limo.
passed it and then returned to it from
the opposite direction. AS the Reli-
ance was then being lowed through
the feet, The yachts ensign 1uttering
from her truck and spreadcrs in cele-
bration OF her victory, the Shamrock
III, did not cross the finish line. This
was the eighth attempt to sail race.
After one fiulle and Reliance won the
two following races, one by seven min
utes and three seconds and the other
by one minute and 10 secondS. This
victory means that the cup is destined
to remain in America until England is
able to produce a genius equal to
Herreshoff in yacht designing.
Rarely if ever has there been a more
spectacular finish than the Reliance's.
After racing for more than an hour at
terrific speed through binding fog

TROPHY REMAINS THIS SIDE

the Reliance burst through the will OF
mist and heeling under a great belly
ing balloon jio topsail until her lee rail
was awash flew across the finish line
almost before the spectators could de-
termine for, a certainty that it was she.
Once more the yankee boat had added
to her long string of victories in con-
tests for the honored old silver trophy
that carried with il the blue ribbon of
the sea-
Glasgow.-The announcement of the
Reliance's victory was received here
with feeling akin to relief that the
long drawn contest was ended. Uni
form regret is expressed at Sir Thomas
Lipton's failure after making such a
persistent effortto secure the America
cup.
London.-The final defeat of Sir
Thomas Lipton's cup challenger, Sham
rock III, was received in London with
absolute listlessness. Most of the af-
ternoon papers published special
edition announcing the result, but the
announcement had already been dis
counted by the dispatches giving the
progress of the race.
The consensus of opinion is that Sir
Thomas Upton has done everything
that time and money could accomplish,
and widespread sympathy for him is
shown. The chief hope expressed in
the streets is that Canada will enter
the lists next year and possibly succeed
where the mother country has failed.
1t seems improbable that in view of
the failure of Shamrock III another
challenger will be dispatched from
England.

Washington, Sept THE DISPOSE
ton of the cruisers Brooklyn and San
Francisco of Admiral Cotton's squad
ron, which have arrived at Beirut. has
not yet been finally determined by the
administration. No orders regarding
the future movement of the vessels
have been sent to Admiral Cotton, and
much will depend upon the character
of the report he makes concerning con-
ditions in and about Beirut and on the
representations which may come from
the minister as to the necessity for the
presence of American war vessels in
Turkish waters to look after the pro-
lection of the interests of the citizens
of the United States in the sultan's do

RELIANCE WOULD HAVE WON.
Wind Failed At Outcome And Caused a
Dead Race

New York, Sept. 1.-The Reliance
failed to register her third victory over
Lipton's challenger because the wind
died to nothing and tine time limit of
five and one-half hours expired before
she could reach the finish line.
The race WAS spiritless from the be-
ginning. It was laid fifteen miles to
windward up along the Long Island
shore and return. Its saving feature
was the start. in which Captain
Wringe, by pretty piece of maneuver-
ing turned the tables on the Yankee
skipper and captured the windward
berth. Even SO the yachts crossed the
line abreast like u harrassed team of
horses.
But within fifteen minutes the de-
fender was showing her heels to the
challenger and when the float at the
outer mark was reached she rounded it
twenty minutes and twenty three Sec
onds ahead of her rival. In the five
times the boats have met this was by
far the worst beating Shamrock III has
sustained in windward work. The
only interest which remained after
that was whether the Reliance would
be able to reach the finish line in time
to score the race.

WHAT THE REAL ISSUE is.
Any Organization That Has a Lawful
Purpose Has a Right To Exist.


Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 3.-Presi.
dent Barry of the Central Labor union
of indianapolis, submitted to d. NJ.
Parry, national president of the manu-.
facturers association eleven questions
and asked for formal answer.
President Parry in statement said:
Barring one or two questions in
which there is a tone of luminosity
directed at me personally, think that
Mr.. Barry's questions are entitled to a
fair answer.
+ ''The real issue is whether an organ
ization, labor or otherwise can perform
acts which its members as individuals
cannot legally do. No individual has
the right to prevent another from dis
posing of his labor as he sees fit, and
neither has an organization the right.
81 wish to bring ont the point that
any organization that has lawful pur-
poses and conducts itself lawfully has
perfect right to exist, and that if
organized labor would eliminate that
which is unlawful in its creed and
would act strictly within the law in its
practices there would be no cause for
agitation against it.
''If ltnionism necessarily be 1awless
then it is correct to assume that those
who object to lawlessness on the part
of the organization are in favor of
destroying the unions, otherwise it is
not true"

The Kansas Eight Hour Law.

Topeka, Sept. 3.-Public contractors
all over the state are, with hut few
exceptions, now complying with the
cight-hour law. They have accepted
the rulings of the court OH the legality
of the law and are regulating them
selves accordingly. In this, as in other
cases, however, the public ultimately
foots the bills. Being able to work
men only eight hours day now where
they used to work them ten hours the
contractors have been forced to increase
contract prices. All kinds of public
than it used to. The eight-hour law is
good thing for the laboring man,
doesn't hurt the contractor.

Sir Thomas, Dinner Speech.

New York, Sept. :. - During the

Upton said: America is n very hard

very much disappointed man. but still
1 have the consolation that both con-
querors and conquered belong to the
same good old race. The cup is still
in the family. only it is held BY a
younger and go-ahead generation.
II am sure that as the days and
years roll by these contests will not
have been held in vain if they make us
realize that wherever 'ye are ali the
world over we shall 'brithers be for a
that"
