ATHLETICS AT YALE.
Big squad Out for Rowing. Though the

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 2t.-Yale began the
fall season with pretty poor prospects, for
several OF her athletic teams. including the
crew and the cross-country SQUADS. All the
candidates for the crew were lighter than
is desired and the cross-country team was
crippled hopelessly by the loss OF the good

a very good start considering their handicap.
This weeks work closed the fall rowing for
the crew and on Wednesday Ysle's cross

was running down toward Pollock Rip at
midnight before a strongx Northwestern.
when he decided to huff up under Chatham
Beach for an anchorage.
The Northern was folio owing him down
the coast and apparently decided to anchor
also at the same time. As Capt. Peck stood
in shore on the starboard tack the other
vessel struck the Plummer with great force
Just abaft her mizzen rigging.
The Plummer's wheel was smashed.
her davits were carried away and q gaping
hole was made in her side. All hands
went to work throwing overheard potatoes
to keep the starboard side a far above

damage did not extend below the water
line. The vessels main and mizzen sails
nae been torn to pieces and the booms
smashed. A tug will tow the Plunmer TO

JUSTICE. GAYNOR on WEALTH.
Says Riches Honestly Acquired Are NO
Menace-warm Praise for Roosevelt.

Menace-Warm Praise TOT hOOeeNoN'
BosroN, Nov. 2~4.-Justice Gaynor OF the
New York Supreme Bench, discussing great
wealth and its effect on American institu-
tons before the Economic Club to-nlgnt,
said that wealth, however great, which Is
| obtained in this enlightened age by frugal
itv. honesty and without the connivance or
aid of Government and bad laws, was not,
in his opinion. dangerous to the welfare and
happiness OF the country.
He said il was the dishonest dollar OBJ
tanned from public franchise and by per-
sonal favor OF legislators that is to be
condemned.
Justice Gaynor said he did not advocate
the naturalization of railroads but be-
lieved tina the people would demand gov
eminent ownership if the present discrlm-
nation in freight rates was continued.
He thought that if the Government should
appoint a general freight agent to have
charge Of all systems OF railroads. the
railroad problem would be solved in an
hours time.
Judge Gaynor paid a warm tribute to
Presidenu Roosevelt for his efforts TO stop
the acquisition of wealth by a Few IN;
diyiduafs by the dishonest and unlawful
use of public franchises and the creation
Of m~onopolies by the eomolnaton OF COM

dent as the great man now in rulership
over this country
with the penetration OF a great mind
said Judge Gaynor, @Mr, Roosevelt was
quick to perceive in the loose clamor about
and denunciation Of trusts on the one hand,
and specious defences and explanations
on the other, exactly where the real evil
lay:
Of immaterial facts, his mind went straight
to the mark; and. what was better. nothing
could then swerve him from espousing and
fighting for the honest cause of the many
against the powerful few.
There is no danger Of the confiscation
of private property in this country any more
h a in England. But the acquisition OF
private property by the dishonest use of
public franchises and the aid Of cunning
statutes is a very different thing.
1T is more than a menace to our republic
can institutions. 1t is fraught with their
destruction If suffered to continue. The
moral odium of it would in the end debase
US all. and no such people can in the nature
Of things remain q free, self-governing
