COLUNBIA'S COACH SAYS
CREWS ARE TOO TOO HEAVY

NEW YORK, Dec. According 10
James E. Rice, the new coach of the
Columbia crews. the eights that have
previously represented Columbia have
been 100 heavy to DO the most enectual
work. Rice believes that the ideal aver
age weight for q crew man In training
Is about loo pounds
In speaking about the matter yester-
day Rice said:
Il want to see every man trained
down 10 the point where every ounce Of
weight represents real muscle, and that
can be had only by good stin practice
every day.
When we get out on the water next
spring. ! intend To make the men race
every day. SO that they will learn now
To handle themselves in the final con
test. II insures confidence as nothing
else does"
Rice is planning to pm the Columbia
squad at hard work on the machine inn
mediately after the holidays. He eX-
poets to have the machines fitted up
with miniature oars with mirrors along
side, so that a man can observe his own
form and note the Improvement. He
expects that the men will have fully
mastered the new stroke by the time
work on the water begins again.

and was recently tried and indicted
for violating that cOunty's prohibit on
laws by soliciting orders therein. Mr..
MOOg, believing his son had violated
no law, determined to fight the case,
and accordingly sought advise from
two of the leading law firms of Mobile,
and likewise one Of the law firms Of
Montgomery. and in each instance the
attorneys discouraged him by refus-
ing to take his case because, they
said. there was no ground on which
to conduct a fight.
This evidently did not discourage
him, for he finally placed the case with

who brought the matter before the
supreme court and very readily sue

Exodus from Caracas Since Re-

Bound for Europe,

New York, May 12.-The four-score
generals, colOnels and lex" 'One thing
and another who compose the elite OF
new York's Venezuelan colony are
kept in a constant state Of excitement
by the almost daily arrival OF Cara
cas- refugees en- route to Europe. Since
President Castro's retirement every
steamer from Caracas has brought at
least one of his. former official or per-
sonal favorites. Ask what this exo-
dus signifies, and one can get explain
atoms to suit any taste. Castro's
enemies say that it means that the
rats are leaving the sinking ship Of
state.
The latest arrival at New York, Sc
nor GumersindO RiVas, editor of Cas-
tro's personal newspaper organ, ''El

that he and those who came before
him had agreed to give the same ex-

acas. I'VE have merely taken adYan-

trips Of recreation. We will all go
back to Caracas when We have rested
ourselves-General Castro, too"
With Senor Rivas Rivas came Nico-
las Goiticoa, recently removed from
the Office Of charge d'affairs at Wash
ington. He claims that he is now a

mission. The most notable arrivals
In advance Of these two were Secre-
taTy of State Cardenas, Manuel Corao,
one Of Veneduela's wealthiest capital
lists; Senior Velutini, second wee pres
ident, Senior de Castro, minister Of
finance, and Senior Mendoza, governor
Of the Federal istrict.
COraO and Acting President Gomez
have made millions out of the cattle
export monopoly, now said to be some
what profitless, because the owners Of
the monopoly put prices so low that
shipments have practically ceased.
Among other good things, Corao is
said to have shared in the large re-
turns Castro derives from the New
York and Bermudez Co.'S asphalt lake,
seized by him two years ago, and ener,
getically exploited ever since.
Senior Cardenas has a couple of con-
cessions that he would like to dispose
Of at a fair price. One Of these is
for the Porto Rico cable to
replace the French line, which Cas-
tro has virtually put out of business.
With the help of Second Vice Pres
ident Velutini, Cardenas is expected
to raise 100000 capital for the es-
Establishment Of a Venezuelan national
bank This scheme, it is said, has
been devised for the purpose Of es-
tablishing an institution through which
the issue Of paper money can be in
creased and loans made on the securi-

has established.
Venezuela bankers were called to
the presidents palace just before he
went into retirement, and asked to
finance the bank scheme. When they
nefused, on the ground that more bus
mess, instead Of a new bank. was need
ed, the task of raising money abroad
was turned over to Senior Velutini.

wildcat banking in Caracas, and the
scheme is now being laid before Lon
