RELIANCE WINS
THIRD CONTEST
Americas Cup Remains in
Charge of the New York
Yacht Club.
DEFENDER COMES IN FAR AHEAH
shamrock's Captain Refuses to Cross
the Finish Line, the Boat Being
Taken In Tow by Her Tug and Re.
turned to the Horseshoe.

New York. Sept. AFTER many
postponements and delays the Reli-
ance made it three straight yesterday
by defeating Shamrock III in the
third and the final race for the cup.
No one will ever know how far the
Fife boat was beaten, as she got lost
in the fog and did not finish, but 1t is
safe to say she was something like
twenty minutes behind the Reliance,
or, in other words, the worst whipped
challenger since the Galatea.
While yachtsmen rejoiced at the
success of the Reliance, everyone felt
sorry for Sir Thomas, after expanding
something like 100000 In his three
attempts to lift the cup, had not got
a better run for his money, and 1t is
almost certain he will never chal-
lenge again.
Refuses to Cross Line.
No one could blame him IL he does
retire from cup racing, as his repre-
sentatives on the challenger made a
sorry exhibition of themselves by re-
fusing to cross the line when they
finally did discover the committee
boat.
Mr.. Fife probably did not want
Shamrock's time taken officially, and
for that reason Skipper Wringe did
not cross the line at the finish. but It
is safe to say that had Sir Thomas
been on board the yacht 1t would have
finished, even II 1t had been an hour
behind the Reliance.
Race In the Fog.
Roughly speaking, there was moth,
ing to the race itself, outside of the
finish of the Reliance, which was
unique In the history of cup races.
The Reliance had given the Sham
rock an eleven-minute beating to the
windward mark, and the yachts had
hardly got started on their homeward
Journey when thick fog hid them
from view. The attendant feet hur-
ried to the finish line, and 1t was hard
ly possible to see a dozen lengths
ahead. At times the fog would lift a
little and one could make out good.
ly feet of steam craft.
Reliance Wins.
Minutes slipped by without a sign
Of either yacht, when suddenly out Of
the fog sprang Reliance, lee rail down
and her huge balloon jib topsail pull
ing with 1,000-horsepower. Reliance
was almost flying along at twelve
knot clip and although Barr had not
seen anything of the committee boat
for over an hour, Reliance was hold
ing as true as an arrow for the line.
Barr gave Reliance sharp luff to
clear the committee boat and before
one could say Jack Robinson" Reli-
ance had shot over the line an easy
winner.
Shamrock Is lowed Away.
Wringe, on the Shamrock, appar.
emily held too far to the eastward and
cverstood the mark by half mile or
more. At any rate, after half an
hours wait while everyone was look
ing south out to sea, the Shamrock
was suddenly discovered coming from
the northward, beating her way back
under mainsail and jib. Everyone
thought she intended to cross the line,
but instead of doing so she took In
her club topsail, and in tow Of her tug
returned to the Horseshoe.

New York, Sept. 4.-Harry Towns.
end Edison, ex-Mayor Edson's son, who
on Wednesday morning shot and
killed Mrs. Fanny Pullen and then
himself, was forger and an embez.
zler TO the amount of between $4,000
and SIS 1000.
Edison obtained this money from st.
Michael's church, by which he had
been employed for the last four years.
He obtained it by forging notes and
checks and by pilfering from the cash
which passed through his hands as
clerk. The exact amount Of his steal
ings is not known yet, for the church
authorities did not discover until last
Thursday that they had been robbed.
Since then the rector, the Rev. John
p. Peters, and members of the vestry
have been keeping the matter secret
until careful examination showed
the exact amount of the loss to the
church.
Books Show Shortage. a.
The investigation was started on
Tuesday, when expert accountants
went to work on the church accounts.
While it was going on Edison, crazed
by the discovery, shot the wife of his
friend and put bullet through his
own brain.
Although it came out on the day of
Edson's murder and suicide that he
had stolen money from the church,
thnC0 Nf hn IF &c
stealings, an amount which would
mean disaster to less wealthy par
ish, preserved the reticence that they
have maintained from the time the
truth was first made known to them.
The facts were learned from mem
bers of the yestry, who decided it
would be futile to attempt to conceal
tho real situation.
Family Cannot Pay.
Just what will be done to REIN.
burse the church is yet undecided.
The members of his family have told
the church authorities that, much as
they would like to pay back every dol
lar of the amount he stole, they see
no way of paying back anything like
the full sum. even it reaches the less
er estimate now made.
The amount known already to be
gone is made up of note for $4,000
and checks aggregating $1,000. All of
this and more Edison is believed to
have lost in Wall street.
AS preliminary to recovering
small part of this, the family has
agreed to permit the church to take
possession of the furniture and effects
in Edson's fiat, and these are to be
sold at auction. The proceeds will
go to reimburse the church.
