Freshmen Fast.

The freshman crews that will repre-
sent Yale and Harvard this year are
perhaps the best freshman crews that
have ever been sent out by the two col
ges. Harvard's crew is made up Of
men who have had much experience in
rowing before they came TO college. and
the crew has been consistently fast
throughout the season. On the other
hand the Yale freshmen haze rowed
the upper two miles OF the course in
1c:03. and have beaten the varsity eight
over the four-mile course. which has
never before been done. They row we'll
together. and have a great deal OF power
in the boat. They have a good. fine
swing on the recovery, and control their
slldes-like veterans. They appear to
row with less exertiOn than the varsity
and TO get more out of their stroke
The Yale coaches have decided to en-
ter the fr shman crew in the American
Henty at Philadelphia. on July 2. where
they will met the Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania University crews. and possibly
some OF he other Fights that viii race
at PoughKeepsie on June 26.

From a STAT Correspondent.l

GALES FERRY. Conn, June 22.-With
but three days left before the races at
New London. the Yale and Harvard
crews have practically finished the long
six months practice, and in the few in
tervening days will do fairly light
work.
The Yale varsity crew has rowed the
four-mile course for the last time before
the race on Thursday and It is improba-
bic that khe other crews, university four
and freshman. Will be sent over the two
miles on time before that day.
The Harvard coachers are not entirely
satisfied with the time made by their
charges and may give their men addi-
tional hard work today.
Comparison Drawn.
The best comparison caa be drawn be-
tween the Harvard and Yale varsity
crews when the time of the two crews
made over the open two miles of the
course Saturday evening IS considered.
Within half an hour OF the time OF
Tale's rowing :he course. the Harvard
coaches sent tn Fir crew over the same
distance under conditions that we're
nearly identical. Harvard having a little
stronger tide 10 help her along. The
Yale crew, racing their freshmen, made
the two miles in about II minutes. beat
ing the juniors by about feet. and the
Harvard crew made the distance in IL
minutes and 20 seconds. It is true that
Yale rowcd in competition and main
tanned higher stroke (about 33l. but
taking into consideration the fact that
Harvard had a stronger tide and was
doing the course with an idea of beating
Yale's time. the advantage lies with
Yale by several seconds.
Nevertheless. the two crews are very
evenly matched and the race on Thurs
day VIII be decided largely by the en-
durance OF the men, as must neces-
sarily be the case when two crews row
four miles in time which differs by a
very few seconds.
Endurance Wins.
Twice within the last three years this
quest Son OF endurance has decided the
race In the last half mile, Yale winning
both times. The two crews are we'll
matched in weight and strength this
year. and the crew that can stick to 4
fast pace longest will win.
So far Yale has made the faster time
over the course-19:53. which breaks all
previous records by Il seconds. Har-
ward has not done better than 20:45; but
Yale has rowed under faster conditions
than Harvard
The strokes rowed by Yale and Har-
ward are alike in many respects. the
difference lying principally in a slight
change in the rigging and in the execu-
ton OF the idea.
One difference in the rigging Is that
the seats OF the Harvard crew are
higher than those in the Yale boat by
about an inch. This necessarily makes

In Yale's Favor.

In the varsity four-oar and freshman
races the odds appear TO be slightly in
Yale's favor. though close contests are
locked for IN both events. The Yale
four IS the best that has ever repre-
scented the blue. They row practically
the same stroke as the varsity eight.

Sunday was a day of rest for the George
town varsity crew. After Saturdays
two four-mile rows. Coach Dempsey de-
cided to give the men a rest, and the
squad. led by Captain Russell, rode out
to Vassar College. which is situated 4
few miles above town.
The rowing OF the crew on Saturday
created much favorable comment. TIE
body swing of the men was like a piece
of machinery. while the blade work was
excellent. For the first three miles the
men rowed thirty-two stroke. At the
bridge Stroke Atkinson hit II up TO
thirty -four. which sent the shell along

NIT that Georgetown is formidable. and

YALE AND HAIR VARD
CREWS A WAIT RACE

Harvard use a shorter slide and gives
the appearance OF a longer body swing.
Both crews catch with legs and back
at the same time and endeavor 10 direct
the power along a line parallel to the
water. Yale has developed q better
leg drive than Harvard. and jams the
legs down hard on the finish Harvard
rows well together. There is. however.
tendency to hang a little on the catch
in the Harvard boat. which allows the
water 20 get away. and the men don't
get all they reach for. Yale, on the
other hand. rounds into the water well
on the catch and there is no delay.
Yale's principal fault now is that men
are apt not to get well together on the
heave.
The Harvard stroke is slightly shorter
in the water than the Yale stroke. This
discrepancy is partly equaIized by the
wider blades used by the Harvard crew.
Harvard using seven-inch blades aud
Yale six and three quarter inches.
At present Harvard can hit good
average rate and hold it remarkably
well They row their best. however,
when rowing about thirty TO the minute.
and such an average will not beat the
Yale crew. On the sprints Harvard is
not so strong.
Stronger Than Last Year.
Compared to last years crews Har-
ward. il is thought. has this year a
stronger crew. and Yale has a crew more
speedy perhaps, but without quite so
much endurance. It VIII be remember
ed that last year Yale won from TIar-
ward by about four lengths. In view OF
these facts. it would appear that Ear
ward has a better chance this year that
she did year ago. The men are insaOod
condition, both here and at Red Top.
The cool weather has kept the weights
up. DAILY, who rowed two on the Yale
eight last year is the only man who has
been at all seriously I'll az the Yale
quarters. and he viii not be able TO

The launch did not arrive until to-

charter a gasOlene launch Saturday
evening. which was too slow TO keep

short distance. The Georgetown launch

LESS THAN FIVE
DAYS FROM FRISCO
KOREA EXPECTED TO SET \ NEW
MARK FOR THE TRIP FROM
THE COAST TO THIS PORT.

H. Hackfeld & Company, the agents
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, received a cablegram today re-
garding the S. S. Korea which sailed
from San Francisco January 20. This
cable stated that the vessel would wish
coal at this port but from the amount
that was given does not indicate that
she was not expected to burn as large
an amount of coal as would be expected
on a record d-breaking trip.
The cable also directed that the rec
ord of the vessel be sent to San Fran
cisco. This portion of the dispatch
would indicate that she was expected
to make new mark for the run from
San Francisco.
f. w. Klebahn, who has charge of
the steamship department of H. Hack
field, states that he expects the vessel
here some time about the noon hour on
Sunday. In such an event it will mean
that the vessel will cut the record to
a point under five days, as she sailed
Tuesday afternoon about 4:45 o'clock.

MAY APPEAL To AMERICA
CHINEsEAMERICAN STOCKHOLDERS IN THE CHINESE
TELEGRAPH SYSTEM MAY APPEAL TO THE UNITED
STATES AGAINST THE CONFISCATIoN OF THEIR
PROPERTY BY THE EMPRESS LAST MOVE

The Empress Dowager's proposal to
seize the Chinese system of telegraphs,
may lead to interference on the part Of
the United States, and give rise TO in
ternational complications.
Some of the stock of the Company
which controls and operates the system
is owned by Chinese residents OF Ha-
wall who are American citizens, and in
all probability the next mail will car
ry representations of the spoilation, it
is claimed, the Empress coup will
work, to the state department at
Washington, with a request that the
United States intervene to protect the
rights of it's citizens.
1t is even possible that the cable may
be used for this purpose.
THE telegraph system which the Inn
perial government is about to take
over" said Yung Chu Him. one of the
Honolulu Chinese stockholders, this
morning, was organized more than
twenty years ago. Ii Hung Chang pro-
NOTED it. Stock was subscribed and
paid for by merchants and others all
over the Chinese Empire and even by
merchants in Chinese colonies in other
lands. Considerable was subscribed for
here, aud there is now held in this ter
ritory about one hundred shares of the
stock the par value of which is about
one hundred dollars.
The system has been very success
full, and profitable. In the twenty
second year of K'ang Hsu, that is to
say about seven years ago, this Chi
nese telegraph system was recognized
by international agreement as being on
par in rights and responsibility with
the telegraph systems of other coun-
tries, ana was entitled to the same
rights and considerations in interna-
tional matters as the systems of other
countries, Russia or any other, for eX-
ample.
wv nile the system has been profit
able, but few dividends have been paid,
the profits being expended in extend
proving the service so that the value
of the shares has been constantly ris-
ing. At the time of the international
recognition of the system seven years
ago, the shares were quoted at 200 per
cent Very recently before this new
move of the government, they were
quoted at 400 per cent.
Il received advices from the manage
ment of the company at Shanghai by
the Hong Kong Maru, which differ
slightly from the accounts contained of
the matter in the Chinese newspapers.
There advices are to the effect that
the proposal of the government is not
to conhscate the system, but to ma
tionalize it, taking its control and man
agenent and ownership entirely from

MADE TO
TAX COLLECTOR
ASSOCIATION COM
MITTEE OBJECTS TO TAX RE-
TURNS REQUIRED BY PRATT.

A committee of the Merchants Asso-
citation called on Tax Collector Pratt
this morning to make a protest against
schedule l of the tax returns. 1t was
claimed bv the Association that there
had been discrimination in the enforce
ment of the law and the merchants OBJ
jected to giving the information called
for.
Il do not know of any cause" said
Pratt, "in which a return has been ac-
cepted without Schedule l being filled
out. If there is any, l should be glad
to be informed of it. All returns are
treated alike as far as my instructions
are concerned"
When the committee called the Tax
Collector said he was simply carrying
out the law, in requiring the schedule
objected to. Pratt showed the commit
tee the following section of the civil
code:
Section S71. If anv of the property
by this Act directed to be returned
shall consist of real and personal prop
erty or several classes or kinds or par
cells of real and personal property, re-
spectively. which are combined and
made the basis of an enterprise for pro-
fit, the person making the return shall
give a detailed description of such
property and state the aggregate value
thereof, taking into consideration the
net profits made by the same. also the
gross receipts and actual running ex-
penses, and where it is a company, be-
ing a corporation whose stock Is quot
ed in the market, the market price
thereof, as well as all other facts and
considerations which reasonably and
fairly bear upon such valuation,
He shall state what, If any, the net
profits as well as the gross proceeds
and actual running expenses Of such
enterprise have been during the twelve
months next preceding; and if known
what sale or sales of stock or other in
terest in such enterprise have taken
place during the twelve months next
| preceding, giving the name of the per-
| son selling the person buying, the
number of shares or proportion Of in
| terest sold upon each SALE and. wher
known, the purchase price thereof

tee retired without having reached any
agreement. Efforts may be made to

GIVES PUBLICITY
At ALL TIMES
BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS HELD
BUT TWO EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
IN TWO YEARS.

The Commissioners of Education
have held but two executive sessions
since the organization of the Territory
of Hawaii" said DIR. c. 7. Rodgers Sc
cretary of the Board of Commissioners.
Those two executive sessions were one
held shortly before the opening of the
legislativ session of 1901 and the other
was the session held yesterday and
concluded today Both these sessions
that one held in 1901 and the one held
yesterday and today were for the sole
purpose of hearing a draft of the finan-
cial part of the report to the Governor
to be made by the Superintendent of
Education.
This is not the finished report, it is
merely a draft presented to the mem
bers of the board for their information
and consideration. 1t is not a matter
be made public even if it We're the
finished report until it has been pre-
sented to the Governor and the Cover
nor makes it public.
aside from these two sessions there
has not been an executive session of
the board held. It's meetings are al
ways open to the representatives of the
newspapers and others. At most of
the meetings the newspapers, or some
of them are represented. The meet
ings are usually held in the forenoon,
however, so that the papers most usual
ly represented are the afternoon pa
pers.
80 little of the executive session idea
is there in the work of the board that
it is the common practice for this Of
fee to make copies for the newspapers
of those things of which copy Will be
a convenience to the reporters. such as
lists of appointments, transfers OF
teachers and that sort of Ihlng where
the spelling of names is important, and
yet cannot be known off hand.
$50 far as publicity is concerned,
there is the utmost publicity in the
transactions of the board. The meetings
are open to the reporters and if they
do not attend the meetings but come
to the office afterwards, the minutes
of the meeting are at their service
and any additional information | can
give them, or any one else in the office.
There was no legal necessity for a
meeting of the board to hear the report
of the superintendent to the legislature
II Is the superintendent's report, not
the boards. But it Is very natural
that the superintendent should want
his colleagues of the board to know
what report Is to be made and to have
their suggestions and opinions con-
cerning 1t. So that strictly speaking
these were not meetings of the board
but merely conferences between the
superintendent and the membrs of the
board as to the appropriations to be
asked from the legislature"

TRYING TO LEARN
PRISONERS IDENTITY
SOLDIER CARLETON BELIEVED
TO BE GOING UNDER AN ALIAS
AND SON OF PROMINENT JURIsT

A. Bales, II. Carleton and r. Walton
the soldiers from Camp Mckinley who
are charged with house breaking of the
Tantalus residence of Chief Justice
Frear, were before Judge Wilcox this
morning for examination. The gar
ments which the prisoners were al
legged to have stolen from the Frear re-
sidence were in court to be used as
evidence against the soldiers. On mo-
ton of the defence a continuance until
February was granted.
There is much mystery connected
with the identity of one of the men, H .
Carleton. In fact it is stated around
the police station that the defence has
been very anxious to have the case
dropped owning to the fact that Carle-
ton is related to very prominent fam
lily of Massachusetts. The cable has
been used in the behalf of the young
man and it is understood that his par
ents have been notified of the trouble
into which the young man has gotten
and have been requested to aid him in
some way.
Carleton is not it is admitted the
correct name of the prisoner From
what can be learned Carleton's father
| is either justice or a very prominent
! judge of the state of Massachusetts.
Young Carleton is alleged to have been
a student at Harvard University bur
left the institution before graduating.
The reason for his leaving college is
not made public. In any event he is
alleged to have taken the name of
| Carleton when he enlisted in the
| army.
The police are determined to prose
cute the charge against the men how
ever. If continuances are granted un-
| til the grand jury meets the evidence
( will then be laid by the police before
| that body.
An answer from Carletons father is
expected a any time. The continuance
today is thought by the police to have
been made for the purpose of enabling
this expected answer from Massachu-
setts to arrive
