CAUSE UNDERWOOD TO LEAVE
YACHT CLUB
OTHER RESERVATIONS LIKELY
SpeciaIties Given at Recent Entertain
ment Strongly Reminiscent of
Famous Dinner at sherry's.
Shock Conservatives
Special to The Herald.

Spec1al to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 6.-F. D. Under
wood, president of the Erie railroad
and vice commodore of the Atlantic
Yacht club, has sent in his resignation
to the latter organization. 1t is under
stood that other millionaire members
will follow his example, and that the
cause is the recent entertainment given
at the yacht club house.
In the published report of the high
jinks at the club house Underwood
was said to have acted as referee in a
talking match for $4,000 per side be-
tween G. Patterson Early of Pittsburg
and j. Clarence Harvey of this city. In
reality he had nothing to do with it.
The talking match was held in a
roped ring. The bout ended in a
draw after Early had recited Casa
blanca" with variations, and Harvey
had been good naturedly guyed into
ending his discourse after perpetrating
some moth-eaten jokes. Following the
talk fest the occasion was enlivened
by the efforts of Marie Dressler, who
convulsed the clubmen. 1t is said that
her turn was followed by others no
less interesting.
Marie Dressler is said never to have
appeared to better advantage. Some
of the specialties were of the sort tha.
recall memories of the famous dinner
at Sherry's. When a full story of the
entertainment was published the con-
servative element of the club, of which
Underwood was the leader, became
exceedingly indignant.

ASBURY PARK, N. j., July g.
President Roosevelt's flying trip here
tomorrow, when he will deliver two adj
dresses, will bring to a close the annual
convention of the National Educational
association. The first address of the
president will be at the auditorium
and the second at the beach front.
OfTfcers were elected today and the
directors from the different states
chosen.
There was slight stir at the meet
ing of the national council over the
adoption Of the directory report rela-
tive to incorporation. The original
incorporation as a national body was
for period of twenty years and the
association by limitation will cease TO
exist January rs next. The directors
expect special laws to be passed by
congress and reported in favor of TAX
ing advantage of and forming a new or
ganization to succeed and continue
the present one. When the report came
up for adoption Miss Margaret Haley
of Chicago objected to the approval of
the plan. She charged that the report
was plan to turn over to corpora
tion not yet formed the rights and
property of the association.
President Maxwell ruled her out of
order. Miss Haley appealed to the meet
ing from the presidents ruling, but
failed to have her appeal sustained.
She then announced she had power of
attorney from large number of mem
bers and would make a fight in the
courts against the plans. The report
was adopted, but Miss Haley continued
to speak and the meeting was in an
uproar when some one moved to ad-
journ. This was carried.
The officers of the association chosen
today were:
President, Nathan c. Schaefer cf

These are two Of the many messages
which were sent yesterday in long

the Santa Fe at Los Angeles and

previous to his record d-breaking jour-
ney from there to Los Angeles. The
Santa Fe was trying to call Scott's
bluff on chartering a special.
The final arrangements for the trip
half way across the continent were to
have been made last night with BILLY"
j. Rouse acting as the representative
of the railroad but his meeting with
Scott was productive of no results.
Scott says he intends to go but has
failed to come through with his $500,

amount.
In the remarkable time of 1877 min
utes for the 1853 miles Scott yesterday
made his second trip by special train
from Barstow to Los Angeles.
The train left Barstow at sos o'clock
and arrived in Los Angeles at 1852,
breaking all previous records for fast
running between the two terminal
points.
Scott says he rode in the engine
the entire distance and a1ighted at La
Grande station with his face covered
with CRIME and his whole appearance
bearing a, resemblance to a brake beam
tourist.
Rouse explained that the question
Of a special train was still in the air
and Scott was simply awaiting a tele-
gram from his partner, j. M. Girard
of New York city, as to whether Cir
ard expected to come on to Los An
geles. If the answer should be in the
affirmative Scott would not take the
trip.
The spendthrift of the Nevada des-
ert, however, reaffirmed his many as
sertions to the effect that he would
make the journey.
"I may go Saturday" he said, "and
again I may not" Then he thought a
moment and decided that he might as
well make it strong and added that he
would go on the special train, possi-
bly, over the Pennsylvania lines to New
York city. And thus ended an inter-
view between two men whose combined
wealth amounted to three hundred
thousand dollars and twenty cents
the reporter had the twenty cents.

ST. PETERSBURG, July Z, $3.50 a. m.
up to o'clock this morning no report

rival of the squadron from Sebastopol,
and it is not known whether an en-
counter with the Kniaz Potemkine has
taken place or whether the battleship
has executed it's threat to lombard the
city last night unless furnished with
the supply of coal demanded. The
latest dispatches from Theodosia re-
ceived here, timed 4:3O o'clock yester-
day afternoon, reported that the Kniaz
Potemkine was cruising off shore in
sight of the town, but it is possible
she may have left the vicinity before
the arrival of the squadron.
A press dispatch from Sebastopol
gives rumor that the Kniaz Pote1n-
kline went seaward late yesterday af-
ternoon. If the squadron arrived be-
fore her departure either the surren-
der Of the battleship or a battle is re-
garded as certain. as Admiral Chouk-
mix, it is believed, would not have
risked his ships in search of the mu-
tinous vessel unless sure that there
would be no repetition of the Odessa
fasco.
Rumors of the most diverse nature
are in circulation, one of which is that
two torpedo boats attacked the Kniaz
Potemkine and were sunk by her.
