ROWING.
Captain Frenzel of Cornell Grew. Back
Coffin Returns Soon.

ithaca. n y March Is (speciaD.-In the last
week the Cornell crews have been practising on
the water and Courtney and Colson, the coaches.
have had their hands full teaching the freshmen
how TO handle their oars. The weather has been
unusually favorable and the early start will help
Courtney to make up in some measure the loss
suffered by reason of the typhoid. Three or four
of the most promising Of the first year men are
now sick with the fever, and number OF others
will have to remain at home until after Easter.
1be freshman combination which has been re-
ceiving most favor is made up as follows: Bow.
stearns; No 2 Wilson; No 3, Johnson; No T..
AIler: No. 5, Brandow: No. 6. Barton: No. Z. Lee.
and stroke. Foote.
Since the oarsmen have been on the water, and
for some time before that, there has been no true
varsity eight. So many OF the experienced men
have been out Of town that the coaches did not
think II worth while to patch up combination.
CAPTAIN Frenzel returned to ithaca few days ago,
news attention has been given getting his Junior
eight In shape to row Harvard, Pennsylvania ana
Columbia on Memorial Day. The outlook seems
10 be rather favorable for this crew. There a
number Of men who roWed in it last year who vii!
again be eligible, besides the freshman eight Of
last June. From present appearances this eight

The navy will have two new boats this spring.
One will be new cedar shell for the varsity eight,
with a 22-inch beam and length of Sc feet. Last

TELEPHONE TALK.
Bell Company Completes the Remodel
ing of It's Toll Depar tment.

The r, NJ. Bell Telephone company has
completed the transfer ana remodelling
OF its toll department. and the new toll
board is In working order It's method OF
operation is the same MS the great switch
board up stairs, and It's size has been in
creased by two positions, with capability
OF an extension only limited by the size
Of the ROOM The service is made more
expeditions now by having all cells re-
ceived by one operator wno Immediately
connects with the operator working the
line desired. Moreover, there are indi-
Gator lamps connecting both ends OF a
line, as upstairs. which Is great con-
venience. In addition to all this, tele-
graph service has been added to the toll
service, 50 that operators can talk b.
tween different distant points, thus oun-
nected independent of any talking over
the line. II has been discovered that tho
two currents do not IN any way interfere
with each other. and the artcuated
speech and the dots ana dashes OF the
Geographic code travel concurrently and
perfectly. Thus the talking or CONNER
cial service, and the companys tele-
graphic service Is being gradually ex-
tended TO various distant points TO the
great convenience of the company.
Heretofore on all toll wires the force
OF the current has been "a volts, but now
u is doubled, and IL As volts, Then the
battery Is connected to the trunk line
instead OF to the pairs OF cords, which
Increased the efficiency of the service. 1t
II interesting to note that Salt Lake citi-
zens are awaiting themselves 80 extend
edly OF the telephone service, that the
Bell company had on its books last Sat
urday evening 5,OlS subscribers in this

ABE MAJORS TURNED DOWN
For the Third Time Supreme Court
Passes on Case.

The supreme court today again at
frmed the judgment of the lower court
in the case of the State Of Utah VS. Abb
raham II. Majors, convicted in May,
1899, of the murder of Police Captain
Brown of ogden, and later sentenced
to life Imprisonment, This is the third
appeal in the case. When Majors was
first convicted he was sentenced 10 be
shot, An appeal from that judgment
was taken and this court affirmed the
judgment,
A motion for a new trial was then
made on the ground OF misconduct of
the Jurors. This motion was denied
and n second appeal was taken To the
supreme court resulting In a reversal
of the judgment and the granting of a
new trial to Majors. Upon the second
trial he was found guilty of murder in
the second degree and, on Oct. s, 1901,
was sentenced to life Imprisonment.
The case was tried In BoXelder county
on a change of venue from Weber coun-
ty where the crime was committed.
An appeal from the second verdict
was taken and was based upon the
refusal of the trial Judge to grant a
continuance OF the case TO give de-
PENDANTS attorney an opportunity to
secure a copy OF the transcript of the
evidence taken at the preliminary hear
ing, and also upon errors alleged to
have been committed In the instruc-
tons to the jury. 1t appears that the
stenographer who took the proceed
ngs at the preliminary hearing had
left the state and gone to Germany,
and the cory of the proceedings which
had been filed with the county clerk
had been misplaced. So continuance
was asked to secure the transcript,but
was denied by the lower court,
The opinion OF the supreme court
holds THAT IL does not appear that de-
PENDANT used due diligence in attempt
ing 10 secure the transcript and further
that II does not appear that he has been
prejudlced by the refusal OF the court
to grant continuance, The opinion
holds also that the instructions given
by the trial Judge were fair and COM
prehensive. The Judgment Of the lover
court is affirmed. The opinion was
written by Chief Justice Baskin and
concurred in by Justices Bartch and
McCarty.
