CAMBRIDGE
WINS RACE

PUTNEY, Sept. 8.-Cambridge
won the great collegiate boat race
today in 10 minutes and 16 seconds.

races and hundreds of women wore
crimson costumes in honor of Har-
ward.
Coxswain Blagdon made break
that perhaps cost Harvard the race
Blagdon took his she'll too far out.
The error gave the Britons a
chance to forge ahead and they
passed under Barnes bridge leading
by three lengths. Harvard made
desperate effort and gained a
length before the finish. The finish
was the most exciting in the his
tory Of racing In England and one
of the finest ever seen on the
course.

LINGUISTIC EXPLOSION
IN COURT

Such rapid fire of Italian was
never heard before in police court
as that turned loose this morning
when Ripoli got upon the witness
stand and tried to tell Justice Hin
kle that Dominick something or
other had robbed him of six pairs
of shoes.
Ripoli was breaking the two min
ute record when the court inter-
posed and asked that Interpreter
Plastino come forward. On the
start Ripoli had asked for an Gin
terp," but Prosecutor Laughon
thought he might do without. To
show that he could Ripoli sprinted
a linguistic mile before they flag
ged him. When Dominick threw in
a few questions the mixup sounded
like reformed spelling on a phono-
graph with Dominick, Ripoli and
Plastino all working overtime.
However, the court got enough out
of 1t to assess Dominick $50 and
costs.

PRALL CASE
REVERSED

A decision of the supreme court
was fled in the superior court this
morning wherein the higher court
reversed the decision of the lower
court in the case of conspiracy in
which J. H. Prall was found to be
guilty. The supreme court based
its decision upon the instructions
to the jury.
Prall, with ]. H. Messned and
one Franzen, was charged with con-
spiracy to get DR.. Mary Latham out
of the state of Washington SO she
could not be convicted of the crime
of larceny in burning down her
drug store at Mead, Wash. She
was out on a cash bond of $500
and ran away to Idaho, where she
was captured and brought back.
Later she was sentenced to prison.
She told about the conspiracy. The
alleged conspirators mortgaged
some of her property for the al
legged purpose of paying her $500
bond, using $4,000 to bride officials.
Prall was to get $100 for his
work and she was to take $50 for
expenses.

BUSINESS SEEMS
TO BE POOR

Dutch Jake" has closed his show
at Natatorium park as it did not
pay. 1t is the general belief that
the tenderloin boss did not give the
Washington Water Power company
anything for the privilege of put
ting the show up at the park, but
notwithstanding the small expense
attached it did not bring returns.
All kinds of stories have been cir
culated by the friends of the local
monopoly, including Dutch Jake"
that business was fine at Nata-
forum, but 1t is a fact that people
who have been looking for conces-
sions at the lair and who have held
concessions at the company park
have been inquiring as to whether
the line to the fair grounds will be
affected or not by the company
attitude toward organized labor.

Superintendent Lumsden of the

street car men discharged yester-
day were removed from the payroll
