THE Treasury Department once acted
L as Judge in dispute that arose be-
tween man and wife The two had had
spirited squabble as to the possession of
several national banknotes, each holding
fast to one end of the wad. A five-dollar
bill was in this way torn across the middle,
and each contestant carried off halt of it.
The department received half of the
bill from the wife, who said that the other
half had been destroyed, and requested a
new bill. Shortly after the receipt of the
wife's communication there came the sec
ond half of the bill from the husband, with
a similar statement and request. AS the
Government then had both ends of the
bill, it awarded two dollars and half to
each.
Among the most remarkable requests
ever addressed to Government officials
was that from a Chicago business man.
A month or two before the time set for
the marriage of one of his daughters, he
sent to the Treasury Department a large
bundle of old and torn greenbacks, re-
questing their redemption and the lssu-
ance in their stead of new bills in the
amount of those turned in. The new bills,
he stated, were to be given his daughter
as wedding present. So tar the request
of the Chicago business man presented no
peculiar difficulty to the treasury officials;
but they objected when he naively sug-
gested that the new notes should bear
in red letters on their face the full name
of his daughter.
Not long ago the Secretary of Agricul-
ture got letter from q Western farmer,
who descanted at length upon his adj
miration of the work done under Secretary
Wilson's administration. Especially did
the farmer praise the publications issued
by the department for the guidance of
farmers desiring to experiment with the

CLOSE ANNUAL RACE ON The
THAMES.
HARTMAN GETS ARRESTED
Railroad King Learns That Laws of
the Course Were Meant for Him
as Much as for Any One Else
Pays Fine of $500 and Misses
Sport.

New London, Conn, June 2S.--Be-
fore the largest crowd that ever wit
messed race on the Thames river
the Yale crew last evening, rowing
on an average of four strokes to the
minute less than Harvard, had the
big Cambridge eight even until the
last half-mile, when the blues let out
their speed and won by scant boat
length. Never once in the whole
four miles did the long graceful
shells cease to lap each other. Yale's
time for the four hours was 81 min
utes and 10 seconds; Harvard's 81
minutes and IL seconds.
The race was accompanied by one
disagreeable incident. This wa
the arrest OK e. II. Hartman, the
railroad masnate, by Lieutenant Bill
ard, President Roosevelts naval aide.
Billiard, who WAS in charge OF the
revenue cutters, had warned every
boat owner not to follow the race.
The big varsity struggle had scarcely
been started when Hartman, In a
powerful motor boat, started to fol-
low the race. Billiard and Chairman
Schweppe, who were aboard the regat-
/, Ia committee boat Arrow, repeatedly
warned Hartman to stop his engine
and get out OF the course. Hartman
not only paid no attention to them.
but took a position right alongside
the referees boat and held 1t. on
the navy yard Billiard signalled for
the launch and footed the revenue cut
| ter whistle, which finally caused Har-
riman to look around. He was inn
mediately arrested. The millionaire
levelled his forefinger at Chairman
! i'chweppe and yelled back:
Young man ! will see you later"
Schweppe's friends aboard the Ar
row gave Hartman gentle laugh.
Hartman saw no more OF the race,
but was detained as any ordinary
prisoner aboard the Gresham unit:
after the race was over, when Billarc.
went aboard the Gresham and re-
leased Hartman, but ordered his boat
tied up at the navy yard. The Incl.
dent may cost Hartman a fine of
$500. This was the penalty imposed
on a yacht owner Mt last years race
for transgressing the rules governing
/ the course
