COLLEGE BOAT
RACES TODAY


ITHACA. N. W May sO.-Many
ath. etic enthusiasts and college men
have arrived here to witness ne third
annual boat race between the crews
Of Harvard and Cornell to take place
late this afteronon on Lake Cayuga-
The start win be at $50 o'clock. and
the race win be rowed over the regu-
lar two-mile straightaway course. In
view OF the fact that the red and white
has been victorious in both OF the
previous races and the further facs
that the crimson met defeat q short
time ago by Columbia, II is but natural
that Cornell should be the favorite In
today's contest. Harvard Is not with
out her supporters. however. and ths
general opinion Is that the race VII
be one OF the best ever seen here.

peciaI to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
MOSCOW Idaho, May 30.-Today's
session of the federal court lasted only
a little more than two hours, but dur
ing that time the defense scored sew
eral points during the progress of the
north Idaho conspiracy case.
Bertsal f. Ferris was the first wit
ness. being on cross examination by
defense, The witness not only con-
tradicted himself several times, but
his memory was too faulty or too vivid
upon certain points to make favor
able impression with the jury. Taken
as the whole defense had by far the
better of the argument.
Joel H. Benton was the next witt
ness. He had not been on the witness
stand long when the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning. Four jurors
attended the ball game this afternoon
and eight attended the Memorial day

Americans, all united in their fealty

their common country, and each know
ing only the generous rivalry with his
fellows as to who could best serve the
cause for which each was ready to
lay down life itself. To General Law

tragedies where our pride rises above
our sorrow. For he died in the full
ness Of time, serving his country with
entire devotion-a death that every
man may well envy.
Honors to Indiana.
Indiana, in the Civil war, furnished
even more than her share of brave SOL
diers. 1t also fell to Indiana to fur
nish the greatest Of all war governors
who upheld the hands of Abraham
Lincoln: for when history definitely
awards the credit for what was done
in the Civil war she will put the serv-
