The Cornell Crews Favorites in
All of the Days Events.

Poughkeepsie. N Y June 23.-The
day of the annual regatta of the In
tercollegiate Rowing association in
which six of the foremost colleges of
the east and west will meet in open
contest for a test as to aquatic supre-
macy opened dark and showery this
morning with promise that intermit-
tent rain might fall throughout the day.
The championship race for varsity
eight cared crews is not declared for
decision until clock this evening so
the early weather conditions were not
discouraging to the regatta officials.
The water over the four miles straight
away course, leading from a point
three miles above the railway bridge
which spans the river between Pough-
keepsie and Highland to the finish one
mile below that structure was almost
as smooth as a mill pond during this
morning and the promise of favorable
rowing conditions more than offset the
gloom cast from frowning clouds.
The first race will be rowed at
o'clock. at which time the varsity
four-oared shells will be sent away on
a two-rnile journey Cornell, Colum-
bia. Syracuse and the University Of
Pennsylvania have entered crews for
this race. All the rowing lines have
been changed this year. being pushed
stream, in order that each crew may
be equally affected by tide and wind
conditions. Heretofore the slack
water close to the shore has been held
at a disadvantage when the tide was
running out in midstream and a de-
cided advantage when the tide was at
flood The courses being nearer mid
stream means rougher water than in
former years. however il the wind
should freshen. The four-oared race
was won last year by Syracuse.
The second race is scheduled for
4:45 o'clock and will be for eight

ROADS DO NOT CARE.
Would just as Lief Give clay Center
JObbers' Rates.

From the answers so far filed by
the railroad companies in the Clay
Center jobbing rate case, it appears
that the railroad companies are not
averse to granting jobbing rates to
Clay Center, If the board orders it
done Thus far, however, the railroad
companies have declined to come to
terms with the Clay Center people on
the ground, that the jobbing interests
of that city are not of sufficient inn
portance to warrant jobbing rate.
The Rock Island railway, in it's an
swer filed today by NJ. A. Low and
Paul Walker says:
''The defendant says that such job
bers' rates as are now IN force within
the state Of Kansas were installed by
the direction and under the order of
the board of railroad commissioners of
the state Of Kansas, and that If job
bers' rates are given to Clay Center
under the complaint in the above en-
titled case such rates should be given
only on such commodities as the evil
dence shows move in such quantities as
to create such substantial difference in
the conditions existing at the city of
Clay Center and other stations within
the state Of Kansas"

Senators Want Statement From
the Attorney General
Relative to Prosecutions Under
Anti Trust Law.
THE KANSAS SENATOR.
Introduces the Resolution of
Inquiry on Subject.
Foraker Suggests That the
Elkins Law Is Included.

Washington, June Ex-senator
Long today introduced in the senate a
resolution calling upon the attorney
general for statement of all suits
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law and the interstate commerce law.
together with the facts as to the dis
position
When the resolution was presented,
Senator Foraker moved to amend by
calling for the extension of the state
ment so as to make it cover suits
brought under the EIkins law. In sup
port of his amendment. Mr.. Foraker
said he was satisfied that the statement
would show that the Ell6ins law covers
every evil of which any human being
has made complaint since this railroad
discussion began.
He cited a number of decisions un-
der the law including that handed
down in the federal court at Kansas
City yesterday
Senator Bailey said that so far as he
had been able to determine, some Of
the parties to the combination alleged
had been convicted while others had
not been. He could not understand
how one party to a conspiracy could
be considered guilty and others not,
but said: IF the courts will follow
this verdict by putting in prison every
man who has violated the law, they
win have done much to vindicate the
law"
Yes. indeed responded Mr.. Foraker.
.'and that is what I have been contend
ing for for the past five or six months"
He declared that if enforced the Elkins
act would prove a remedy for all re-
bates and Determinations. He called at
tention to the fact that complaints are
to be fled under the law and said the
interstate commerce commission was
now doing the best work it has ever
done in taking off the lid and closed
with the declaration that the failure
of the conference on the railroad rate
would be the most fortunate thing thar
could happen for the country because
more unnecessary or more mischief
making law was never put on the sta
tute book.
After Senator Bacon had presented an
amendment asking for details as to the
expenditure of $780, 600 especially appro-
priated for the prosecution Of cases
against the laws mentioned, the resolu-
ton was laid aside in order to permit
the senate to proceed with other busi-
ness.

MUST HAVE MEN.
Kansas Wheat Is Awaiting Har-
vest Hands.
Governor HOch Issues an Appeal
TO Railroads.
ASKS FOR A RATE.
Need at Least 5000 Men Next
Week.
Nearly All Western Counties
Cry for Help.
ASKS FOR A RATE.

Governor Hoch has responded to
the appeal OF Free EmployInsnf Agent
T. B. Gerow for more harvest hands
for. the wheat country and this morn
ing sent two kilograms which It is
hoped VIII cause the railroads to I'm
mediateiy put In low rates from Chi
cago to the mississippi river. The nrst
telegram was to Eben 8. Macleod,
chairman Western Passenger assocta-
ton, of Chicago. and was as follows:
Kansas needs at least 5000 more
harvest hands within next week 10
save wheat crop. Must have them OF
much grain viii be lost. urge upon
you the necessity Of putting in cheap
rates at once. with 10 day limit, from
all Illinois and intermediate points. Il
request is granted please have Chicago
and other leading daily papers Ia ter-
ritory named print story to post Idle
men where they can get work. Wire
me action. E. W. HOCH.
Governor Of Kansas
This was follow up with q message
to W. J. Black passenger traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe, which was as
Kansas must have 5000 harvest
hands within week or much grain will
be lost. Have wired Macleod for
cheap rates. appeal to you to help
secure them. e. W. HOCH,
Governor OF Kansas.
No replies have yet been received to
these messages, but IL is thought that
the rate of one cent mile will be
given by the railroads.
Mr.. Gerow is still receivfng frantic
appeals for help from some localities
in the wheat belt Even Barton coun-
ty, which is usually troubled with &
surplus of men, Is short this year.
Pratt county is needing men, and SO Is
Kingman. The wheat in these coun-
ties is of very fine quality and prom
ises a. big crop. The only trouble is
that there are not enough men to
harvest II.
A greet many men are being sent
out from eastern Kansas points but
the supply Is inadequate. The rail-
road companies we're apparently indif-
ferent to the situations, ana made no
special harvest rate from eastern
points. The result has been that the
usual number Of extra men have not
come to the state. sapd as matter of
fact there is no doubt that unemployed
men are scarce al =5ge< the country.
High wages in the wheat fields is the
only thing which serves to tempt men
away from their regular employment

GETS THE $4,000.
Senate Passes Bill TO Pay Presidents
Travelling Expenses.

Washington. June 23-Although char
acterized by Democratic senators as a
pure donation for excursion purposes -
to give the people a free show, which
might we'll be followed with peanuts
and pink lemonade. the senate passed
an independent bill appropriating s25.-
600 annually for the travelling expenses
of the president, by a vote Of AZ to 20.
The money is to be expended in the
discretion of the president.
The debate was extended and in parts
acrimonious.
Mr. Morgan. of Alabama. said the
senate knew nothing of what was in
tended to be done with the $4,000 to
be appropriated.
TT might be used" he said, for the
entertainment of the scions of royal
blood with the president giving instruc-
tions in American hunting and sports,
or as some have suggested, it might be
for political expeditions. where the
president might stock a train with
spellbinders to enlighten the people of
the United States on subjects they
knew more about than the spellbinders.
In that event it would be money thrown
away
He pictured what the presidents
special train might be- with liveried re-
tainers Of black, red or white.
Then" he said, ..it might be that
he wanted to take lessons in catching
q live wolf and choking him to death
with the hands in order to appoint his
instructor to public Office.
He characterized the appropriation as
"a pure donation for excursion pur-
poses.
Senator Carmack opposed the bill
on the ground that the only purpose
is to give the people a free show, and
said the next move would be to furnish
roasted peanuts and pink lemonade.

parts of the country, love of their old
homesteads and kinsmen proving
stronger than their desire to visit
Trondhjem. In any case the trip here
is difficult and somewhat expensive,

Norwegian flags and the crowd cheered
him.
Mr.. Bryan said that judging Norway
by her sons who come to America he
