The RELIANCE FIRST
Second Victory Over the Go.
lumbia, First Over the
Constitution.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 26.-In a gamely con-
tested race the Reliance again today led
the way across the finish line, winning
her second victory over the Columbia
and her first over the Constitution. Two
minutes and ffty-one seconds later the
CONSTITUTION finished, and the crew OF
the new boat gave her such cheer as
she deserved The Constitution had
sailed a plucky race and had right to
share in the honors. From the start to
the finish she had fought out every mile
over the thirty-mile course and On two
of its legs had outsailed the new boat,
performance which restores her pres
tige imperilled in her disappointing show
ing in the drifting match last Saturday
and makes her a factor to be reckoned
with in thei selection of a cup defender.
The Columbia was for the day out
classed. From the very start she was
never for a moment in the race. While
the Reliance and Constitution were hav-
ing it out between themselves all the
way around the course, the former cup
defender was dragging along miles astern
of them and when the Reliance sailed
across the finish line the Columbia was
more than two miles almost dead to lee
ward The Reliance beat her by fifteen
minutes and fifty y-one seconds. actual sail
ing time.
The wind held true~9 to II knots dur
ing the race and favored none of the
racers. The conditions were ideal for a
fair test of the three boats.

By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., May 2G.-Unlted
States Marshal Henry C. Petit, at Rock
vile, Ind, today notified the department
by telegraph of the arrest OF Joseph Nj.
Johns. the man charged with conspiracy
in the alleged bribery of Daniel v Mil

Department, who was arrested last night.
Johns will be tried with Miller at Gin
cinnati. Their cases viii be presented
to the Federal grand jury which meets
there October 6. According TO evidence In
possession OF the postal authorities. Johns
received $4,000 as a result of the decision
of Acting Assistant Attorney General
Christiancy that the Ryan Turf Invest
ment Company was entitled to use the
mails. Miller was an assistant of Chris
tiancy.
The authorities here say that Johns was
not an attorney of the Ryan concern
but has been lifelong friend and politi-
cal associate of Miller. The exact divis-
ion of the $4,000 is not known. Miller
was at the Postofice Department in
conference with Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Robb, who closely questioned him
mold Company, the turf investment con-
Germ which was responsible for the first
charges against the office of the Assist
ant Attorney General and which, despite
the adverse report of Postoffice Inspectors
secured a favorable decision from the
office, is still under investigation.
The checks which figure in the alleged
payments to Miller and Johns which are
in possession of the department are for
SO 400. They were supplemented with a
cash payment of 81 100. He has furnished
the department. with all the information
in his possession including the documents
While the department cannot guarantee
Ryan immunity. it viii put his service in
giving States evidence in the best light
before the court. Miller had charge of
the investigation of the Ryan case and
prepared the letter which Acting Assist
ant Attorney General Christiancy signed.
The decision in the Arnold case which
served as precedent and whose language
it followed, was signed by Assistant At
torney General Tyner, December 4th.

he BOWS TO TEDDY
Hanna viii Not Oppose His
Endorsement by Ohio
Republicans.
fBy the Asaoeiated Press.l

Cleveland, o., May Senator Hanna
has decided to offer no further opposition
to proposed resolution in the coming
Republican State convention, endorsing
the candidacy of President Roosevelt for
another term. This action was decided
upon late this afternoon. When asked if
he had heard from President Roosevelt
with reference to the discussion concern
ing his attitude in connection with the
resolution, Senator Hanna made the fol-
lowing statement 10 the Associated Press
representative:
Il am in receipt of a telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to me
his desire to have the endorsement of the
Ohio Republican State convention of his
administration and candidacy In view of
this l shrall not oppose such action by
the convention, and l have telegraphed
the President to that effect"
Senator Hanno positively declined to
the brief statement, above quoted, fully
covered the situation.
1t is the general belief, however, among
those close to the Senator, that he still
doubts the advisability of the adoption of
a resolution endorsing President Roose-
velt's candidacy by this years conven-
ton. But it is pointed out that in de-
ferring to the Presidents judgment and
expressed wishes Mr.. Hanna demonstrates
that his original position in the matter
was at no time prompted by personal an
tagonism to President Roosevelt.

THE PEoNAoE SYSTEM.
The Secret Service Men Investigating the
Matter in Alabama,
(By the Associated Press


Washington, May 26.--At the request of
the Department of Justice the United
States Secret Service has undertaken the
work of investigating the charge of peon-
age, or holding another in servitude to
work out a debt, which has been made
against persons living in the vicinity OF
Montgomery, Ala The punishment pro-
vlded by the statute for this crime is
fine of not less than 81, 200 nor more
than $4,000 or imprisonment of not less
than one year nor more than five. One
man named RobertN. Franklin has al

Is to bring a poor negro before a mag

the white man offers to advance him the
money provided the negro will make a
labor contract with him for a length of
time sufficient to reimburse him for the
money and trouble he has taken to keep
the negro out of Jail. He is thereupon

may secure with view to the prosecu-
