CONDEMNS METHOD
OF STARTING YACHTS
Article in ''Harper's Week
ly" Scores Present System.
DANGEROUS AND UNFAIR
William Everett Hicks Maintains That
JOckeying for Start Prevents Equal
ity at That Stage of the Race.

NEW YORK, Aug 20.-An attack on
methods hitherto used in starting the
international Cup races was made in
'Harper's Weekly" which appeared yes
terday. by William Everett Hicks, who
maintains that the jockeying or ma
neuvering for the start is dangerous,
antiQuated and prevents equality at the
start which he insists should be the
primary consideration in every race.
Mr. Hicks calls attention to the foul
of the Defender and the Valkvrie. in
1895. as an illustration of the necessity
Of change in the starting rules so that
the struggle for the windward position
at the start shall be eliminated. Mr.
Hicks suggests that the choice CT po-
sItion be allotted to each yacht on al
ternate days by the committee or de-
eided bv lot.
Upton Disagrees.
Accompanying the attack is statement
of the views of Sir Thomas Upton. Sir
Thomas says he is not opposed to jock
eying At the start, which he considers
quite legitimate IL carried out fairly" ="
Mr.. Hicks was asked last night
whether he was satisfied with the view
taken By Sir Thomas. and he said:
Most assuredly not 1t seems 20 me
Sir Thomas gives his whole case away
when be says the icckeying is legiti-
mate II It is carried out fairly That
is Just the point / have male No one
would object to jockeying in a yacht
race or a horse race or any other race.
II 1t were carried out fairly
But jockeying cannot be carried out
fairly, and IN every other race,
II is prevented by the rules. Jockeying
puts premium on unscrupulousness,
and too often there is no limit to the
! unscrupulousness OF men when they are
engaged in an open contest. especially
one so important as Cup race. If two
yachts, costing half million dollars,
have come together and are mass of
wreckage. Il is too late to find out that
the joekeying was not carried out fair
ly.' BY preventing jockeying, fairness
will be assured. There can be no sea-
nanship in an act which tends to give
one skipper an advantage over another
before the start"
Perfectly Fair.
The attention Of several members OF
| the New York Yacht Club was called
last night TO the ''Harper's Weekly al
ticle. A prominent member. who did
not care TO have his. name published
said that Mr.. Hicks contention was
nonsensical, as the art of jockeying for
a start in yacht race was fully gov

was therefore as fair as any other de
tail of racing Commodore Kane read
the article, but said he did not care to
express an opinion. inasmuch as he YVES

No other member who saw the articles
cares to be quoted.

Circuit Attorney Folk is Now After

St. Louis. July 1.-Circuit Attorney Folk has information which may lead to tho indictment of Eastern capitalists for bribery in connection with the transit bill which was passed by the Missouri Legislature in 1899 The statute of limi- tations prevents the prosecution of those persons living in Missouri who are all legged to have been connected with the deal. but those living in New York are not protected.
 It is understood that such indictments would have to be found by the Cole Coun- ty grand jury as the deal was made in Jefferson City. Mo. Should the indict- ments be voted. the whole poodle story would doubtless come out for the first time.

EDUCATORS AT WORK
OF SOUTHERN TEACH.
 FRS AT ASHEvILLE, N. c.
The High School Discussed at the Morning Session and in the Afternoon Child Study Was
 the Subject.

Asheville N. C., July 1.-The Southern Educational Association Convention at this mornings session discussed ''The High School; It's Function and Curricu- lum." P. P. ciaxton of the University of Tennessee. spoke of the need of better ment in the high schools and urged the installation of physical and chemical lab oratories as through that means the work that to our fathers seemed drudgery might to its beneflciaries become an art to which its master was welded both by training and education.
 Professor Burlington of the University of West Virginia. spoke along the same memorial discussion and five minutes speeches all of which contained sugges- tions of means of attainment of improve ment in the high schools.
 Miss Marion Brown, vice principal of High School No. 3 of New Orleans, La. read a paper on "Co-operation of Home and School" and cited the great benefits from such cooperation in the city of New Orleans.
 Music in Public Schools was discussed by Professor Enoch Pearson, instructor of music in public schools of Philadei- phia. and he gave an outline of the re- fining influence upon the pupils mind from such surroundings. A short busi- ness session was held and the morning exercises were closed.
 At the afternoon session President H. E. Bierly of the Child Study Department made report of the work done by his branch during the past twelve months and gave the results of investigations which he had made. The department now has a complete account of what is be- ing done in child study in every South ern State. In a few months an article will be written giving an account of the investigation which, however, was made in order to become better acquainted with the men and conditions. for the purpose of working up more interest in this move ment. The department has been having an extensive correspondence with the womens' and mothers clubs and learned that some few discuss this subject at their meetings, and that about seventy live of the one hundred women's clubs are anxious to take up this subject with the assistance and direction of the de- partment The department also issued c few circulars on food, study, health. etc.. for higher institutions only.
 Twenty-Five of the largest State and church universities and colleges in the South are submitting this circular to their students.
 Other features of today's sessions were addresses by J. W. Jendwine, president of the Southern Association. and R. c. Cole, President of the National Assocla- ton. Both speeches related to the chaser afhliation of the two bodies. There was round table talk for teachers of the piano and one for the teachers of voice concert was given by Miss May Wal ters of Philadelphia and Walter Spray of Chicago.

FIRE RACES IN MINE.
Fear of Another Explosion at Hanna
 WYo,,


 Hanna, Wyo, July 1.-Information was received tonight from an experienced miner. who penetrated the Union Pacific mine to the 18th level, that the workings below the 17th level are a mass of flames, where a few hours ago 1t was believed the rescuers would reach the bodies of the en- tombed miners not later than tomorrow noon.
 The efforts of those working below the surface are now confined to the work of walllng up the entries and the slope and putting up fire-proof. barriers which will prevent the flames from reaching the 17th and other levels above. This is taken as an indication that the rescuers realize the fruitlessness of further attempts to rescue the entombed miners below the 17th level.
 Added to the horrors of the fire, which will doubtless destroy the underground workings, is the danger of another ex- plosion which may occur at any time. The situation is decidedly grave and the citizens are becoming alarmed for the safety of those who are working below the surface and also those engaged in hauling away the debris from tue mouth
