BOURNE END. Eng. Aug. lo-when
the Harvard rowers weighed in this
morning 1t was found that John Richard

weights OF the crew are as follows: Rob

Flint, 179, Gordon G. Glass, 1856; John

swain, 105.
There is some diversity of opinion as
TO who should row bow in the Cam
bridge crew. and IT is the general i'm
preston that there are one or two weak
spots in the English boat, With little
further training Coach Muttlebur doubt
less will pull his men together.
It has been suggested that the Harvard
men might try one Of the English boats.
1t is thought that the drag" on their
boat is duo to its being shorter, deeper
and lower In the water than the Eng
lsh type,
Interest Will Increase.
The interest In the work Of both crews
is now great and Will increase when they
go TO Putney, as the weeds In the river
are detriment TO clean and fast row.
Ing.
Coach Muttlebur. while diff1dent In
giving his opinion of the relative merits
OF the two crews, impaired the impress
sion in the course OF a conversation to-
day that he thought that the Cambridge
men had big handful to tackle.
Owing to the shortness of the stay OF
the Harvard crew the captain today, in
telegram, formally declined the invita-
tion TO race with the Bann Rowing club
OF Ireland.

Kramer Rides Exhibition.


Frank Kramer rode half mile exhibition
against time, but Jailed by four-hfths Of a
second to touch Snmuelson S record for the
distance. Tho American champion did not
exert himself and possibly in that he is
like all other American champions who are
out for the money rather than the glory
Kramer started his ride ot = slow clip but
with each succeeding lap increased his speed
and as ne crossed the tnpc was travelling at
good clip, One OF the remarkable features
about Krsmer's exhibition riding is that
he travels considerably faster than he &C,
he came as close as he did to the record.
This is due, perhaps, TO the fact that Kramer
rides so easily and with such machlne-llse
regularity. Time, SO seconds fat,

CRITICISM OF ROOSEVELT
Southern Railroad President Delivers
Sharp Speech at Banquet at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. 15.-PresiGent Mill
ton H. Smith OF the Louisville 6, Nash
vile railroad, speaking on '"The Great
Railroads of the South" at a banquet
Of the New Orleans Progressive Union,
said tonight:
THE cost of operating and maintain
hS railways has been increasing with
iears and bounds. To add TO the anx-
teJy, the owners of railway properties
are threatened with possible confisca-
ton by the people, who are to an ex-
tent debauched by political leaders,
who. for selfish reasons, denounce cor
porations. falsely charging them with
running the country.
President Roosevelt has in Two an
NAL messages sharply criticized two of
the federal judges because they have
rendered decisions unsatisfactory 10
him. He and the department OF Justice
have in effect pursued a course Of in
timidatiOn not heretofore attempted.
When it is considered that the presi-
dent appoints the judges, which in
cludes their promotion, it is not too
much to characterize his conduct as
Gastardly. His plant is that the gov
eminent has not the right to appeal,
and that the decisions which he de-
nCUnced were final. Are tht judges al
fault because laws of the country do
not provide for an appeal in criminal
cases? Since the creation of the gov
eminent the law has been that & man
accused Of crime and acquitted cannot
be again tried for the same offense-
his life and liberty may not again be
jeGpardized. The justice of such 4 law
will not, I think, be denied.

Tue power that has prevented joint ac-
ton by England and the United States
looking TO the suppression OF alleged
atrocities IN the Congo Free State,
made the following statement tonight:
y Il have observed in the papers that
an emissary of the Congo Reform asso-
cation has made personal attack on
ME Tor my attitude in defending King
LeOpold's Congo administration against
unJustifiable attacks. Ny position on
the matter has always been very clear
l have naturally means of keeping in
Close touch with the situation through
our missionaries. but there has been a
great amount of exaggeration in those
stories of maIadministration. The king
is a wise as we'll as a humane ruler
and we hear through missionary
sources that whenever cases of cruelty
have occurred-as such things will Oc-
cur under every humane government
the king has been prompt to redress
such abuses and TO punish the offend
ers.
Il fear this agitation against King
Leopold's administration is animated
partly by religious Jealousy and partly
by commercial rivalry, 1t is TO be hoped
that the individuals who are carrying
it on will not be successful in their eff
forts to induce the great powers OF the
earth TO interfere in the affairs in a
small nation. IN defending the Belgian
administration OF the Congo, / am ac-
tuated by a sense Of justice and fair
play"
