HARVARD lost RACE.
CAMRIDGE Won BY Two LENGTHS
IN A HARD CONTEST.
Americans Finished Strong, While
Britishers Were All In-Cambridqe
Got Better Start-Harvard Had Fin.
est Crew Physically Ever Seen in
England, but Lacked Training.

Putney, England.-Saturdays boat
race between Harvard and Cambridge
universities, which was won by the
Englishmen by two lengths, was prob
ably the most surprising ever rowed
on the Thames. not so much because
Of the result, but the way in which 1t
was rowed.
Cambridge, as had been feared by
Harvard and hoped for by English
men, got away the better, securing a
lead which they increased to three
lengths before Hammersmith bridge.
Both crews, as they went under the
bridge, were rowing steadily at rs
strokes to the minute. neither appar.
emily exerting itself. Evidently Har-
ward commenced to use more power
and although Cambridge already had
the race won and had the advantage
Of water conditions, the Englishmen
were compelled to increase their
stroke to 32 and finished a tired out
crew. Donaldson was ready to col.
lapse and Brookes in the bow was
nearly as bad. The remainder OF the
crew padded the boat to the landing
stage.
Harvard men, on the other hand,
were apparently quite fresh and took
their boat across the river at a brisk
rate. English sports say there Is but
one explanation OF the result-that of
superiority Of Craftsmanship and he
Englishmen's stroke. Harvard was
one of the finest crews physically ever
seen on the river, but was unable to
overcome that training which English
oarsmen receive from childhood. The
Cambridge crew, too. had in Stuart
one of the best strokes England has
ever produced. 1t has also had the ad.
vantage of choice of side, but those
who know the river best say this was
little in their favor with the tide and
wind as they were.
Comment on Race.
Stroke Stewart of the Cambridge
crew said:
"Filley and his crew rowed a mag
nificent race We are glad we won
but sorry to defeat such good fellows" 4"
Captain Filley of the Harvard boat
laconically declared that his men had
been beaten fairly and squarely. Coach
Wray was gloomy and had nothing to
say except that he had no excuse to
offer. Coach Mattlebury of Cam.
bridge said:
"The Harvard men made up the best
crew ever sent out from the United
States. With another year and a little
more English style the Harvard men
will be dangerous rivals. hope the
Americans will favor us with another
visit"
The crews dined t'gether at Princes
restaurant.

READY TO CLEAR
DEBRIS AWAY

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10
Steps toward the immediate clear
ing away of debris in the down
town section were taken this
morning, when the committee on
met to receive re-
ports. Railroads announced they
were ready to carry away great
masses of brick, iron, steel and
wood. the laying of tracks into the
ruined district having been finished,
The greatest difficulty lies in the
fact that the city is without funds
to pay men for loading cars, but
the committee believes means to
meet the situation are to be de-
vised today.
No longer is there a fear of
lumber famine, as every mill on
the Pacific coast is working extra

SLOW IN MAKING
REPORT

The city officials have despair
ed of ever getting a report from
Charles Bihler, the bridge expert,
who was commissioned by the city
council last fall to make an esti-
mate on the cost of strengthening
the Monroe street structure. Mr..
Bihler some years ago made an ex-
haustive report on the bridge, sug-
costing many improvements.
The city council last fall asked
Mr.. Bihler to make an estimate on
his suggested improvements as to
cost. The council agreed to pay
him $50 a day.
I'VE will have to do it ourselves"
said City Commissioner ONO this
morning. 'Mr. Bihler has put us
off SO often that | guess he is not
going to make the report. He is
busy at present building bridges
for the Spokane International.

not bound to awaken the attorneys
of the prisoners. The supreme
court has upheld this.
Representatives of the state say
that many of the federation miners
deported from Colorado by the
mineowners there have entered
into the Occur d'Alene region of
Idaho in the last year or two.
They tried to start strikes but
failed. This caused the federation
to be disgruntled, according to one
of the leaders in the prosecution
So, along with their other griev-
ances, they decided to kill Steuen-
berg in order to terrorize the state
officials and enable the federation
to regain control of the Idaho
mining region. They might have
killed Steunenberg quietly, but
that would not do; the terrorizing
effect was needed.
I'VE knew there was something
doing for several weeks before
the assassination said Detective
Swain, who has cha rye of the Sc
cret service work for the Occur
