CREWS AT LAKE WHITNEY.

Varsity and Freshman Shells PRACTICE
ing for Spring Regatta.
The Yale oarsmen are working out on
Lake Whitney in preparation for the
spring regatta next Saturday. All Of
the crews have been transferred from
the harbor to the lake, and as a conse-
quence Lake Whitney presents a crowd
ed appearance.
The work of the varsity crew will be
let up more or less for the next few
days because of the lack Of a straight
course. When working out in the har-
Dor the crews can row any distance in a
straightaway course, but at Lake Whit
ney the one and one-eighth mile course
is all that is left open to the men with
out turn.
This year the spring regatta will have
the finest programme of events ever
seen at the lake, every shell owned by
the Yale Boat club being brought into
service.

FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE


Rev. Mr. Haynes of United Church
Meets With Men and Gives Them
Advice.
Two important developments took
place yesterday In the lockout of the
men employed by the New Haven road
in the freight houses in this city The
more important was the appearance of
Rev. ARENAS ]. Haynes, pastor of the
United church, at the meeting of the
freight men in the Insurance building
yesterday morning, for the purpose of
giving his counsel to the locked out
employees. The other was an action by
the freight men at Belle dock which
indicates that they now stand ready to
quit work unless the men at the other
three freight houses are reinstated.
Rev. Mr.. Haynes attendance at the
meeting yesterday was the result of an
invitation issued to him by the uniol.
of freight handlers. He first made
himself acquainted with the demands
of the employees and their grievances
in the whole, as explained by them, and
then he made an address to them in
which he stated that he had no doubt
that if the matters ait issue were pre-
scented to the company in the proper
way they would be acceded to. In con-
sequence of his visit and speech to the
men, 1t was stated, authoritstively
that they were willing to waive all
claims against the company except that
they shall not be called upon to labor
on the Sabbath. This point now ap-
pears to be the only one at issue and
that it can be speedily adjusted is the
opinion of many of the unions Off
GERS.

CUTS CROKER'S POWER.
Fire Commissioner O'Brien Ertends
Field of Battalion Chief.

Fire Commissioner O'Brien issued yesterday
two orders, which extend the powers of William
F. Begins, the battalion chief now in charge OF
the Bureau Of Violations for Manhattan, The
Bronx and Richmond.
One Of the orders which looks like slap at
Chief Croker takes away from him the jurisdic-
ton over the five theatre inspectors, who are
leutenants and who have heretofore reported to
the chief BY the new order these are to
report to Begins.
To the wiseascres at Fire Headquarters this is
taken to mean a retaliatory measure at Chief
Croker for his action the night before ex-Fire
Commissioner Hayes retired in countermanding
an order sent out by Mr.. Hayes. The theatre
detail is considered TO be one of the best in the
department and is eagerly sought after.
The second order extends the jurisdiction Of
Begins over Brooklyn and Queens Michael
Quinn who IS in charge of the Bureau of
Violations in these bOroughs, is made subor-
dinate to Begins and viii report 70 him.
Another order places Battalion Chief Thomas
F. Barrett in temporary charge of the repair
shops for Manhattan and The Bronx and or
derS William II. MesiCk. the fOrman in charge Of
these shops to report TO Barrett for orders.
Mr.. OBrien rejected yesterday the bids sub
mtted for the construction of two new firebOats.
and announced that new specifications would
be prepared and bids advertised for It was
said that Chief Croker had filed objections to the
specifications and for that reason the bids were
rejected.
