HENLEY STEWARDS
BAR TITUS ENTRY
Spring New Rule to KeeE
Out Dangerous American
OarSman.

PRINCETON, N. J., June 5.-Con-
stance sutton Titus. the famous sculler,
!. has received a notice from the Henley
committee that he will be ineligible for
entry in the coming Royal Henley Re-
gatta in England.
The debarment was made on a new
rule known as Rure {, and IT is to the
effect that no entries will be accepted
out OF the United Kingdom unless the
association represented is III affliation
with the Henley Regatta Judging by
the attempts that have been nrade to
debar Mr.. Titus in previous years after
he went over there and broke all rec
ords, this is simply a case of "cold feet
on the part of the English sportsmen.
Their record in connection with the
American attempts to row at Henley
speaks for itself. Mr. Titus made a
Statement which tells the story:
Drawn With Schools.
'In 1902" said Mr.. Titus. "schoIes and
myself entered. and one of the first set
backs we received was the drawing of
myself and SchOles in the first heat
SchOles lost and I was forced TO row
against the supposedly best Engi siIman.
Fields, and won, and the third day I
met Kelly and he. being perfectly fresh
. from not rowing I'm previous heats. de-
feated me.
Il was then invited to come over the
following year and was asked TO leave
my boat in England. A week before
sailed In the summer of 1903. 1 received
cablegram saying my entry was re-
gected under Rule 10, which read: The
honorable stewards reserve the right
10 reject any entry until time Of start
ing and no reason is given
Cornell at that time had a fast crew,
and intended crossing the water, and
they then made a rule that no crew
would be accepted which was coached
thirty days prior TO a race by a pro-
fesSional, thus barring Courtney.
Scholes in 1904, whom / defeated the
previous year. won the Diamond Souls.
Other Instances.
I'm 1906 w. B. West. of Philadelphia
was accepted with open arms. as they
probably knew that he had not won a
race Of note, and did not even qualify
in the first heat on the Henley, which
shows that not eligibility rules, but a
mans ability, IS the determining factor
with the English. Now Rule 4 contained
in substance in Mr.. Cooper's letter
which ] received today. is sprung on us
The whole matter clearly shows poor
craftsmanship and is a direct attack on
our amateur standing in aquatics."
Mr.. Titus says he cannot see what af-
filiatiOn is wanted by the English Mr.
Titus was asked whether he thought
there would be any affiliatiOn with the
English ROYAL Henley Committee bV the
American Rowing Association of y. A

custom for the Americans 10 be dictated

WOMEN P|CKETS
At PRIZE FIGHT
Petticoat Guard Fooled by
Deputies, and Fight Was
Called Off.

CLEVELAND, June 5.-Women pick
cts were posted on the hills surrounding
a quiet spot in Linndale, where 200
Cleveland men had assembled TO wit
ness a prize fight the other day. The in
reference of deputy sheriffs broke up
the affair before the fight got under way.
Women were chosen FOR guard duty
because II was believed by the pro-
moters of the fight that their presence
would not arouse suspicion. They were
stationed at frequent intervals for
distance of half a mile
The fight was to nave taken place
in a wooded glade, nesting among the
Iinndale hills, a secluded spot The
sheriff's office heard Of the plan late in
the afternoon. Deputies A. II. Nowake
and ]. V. Kalina were hurried to the
place.
From the top OF the hill where they
dismounted the deputies saw large hay
rfcks, filled with men, filing down the
steep incline. Walking TO the Big -Four
bridge. deputies could look down the val
ley TO where a crowd was already gath
cred.
Carefully avoiding the patrols, the
! deputies hunted out an unused path,
and, by holding 10 the Trees as they
descended, painfully made their way 10
the imprOvised gate, several hundred
yards from the crowd. where the ticket
taker was hustling TO get his patrons
seated before beginning of the perform
ance. Dollar bills and silver were pass
| ing in large numbers into his hand.
| After a few minutes kalina stepped up:
Il regret 10 announce" he said, that
the fight cannot take place" Then the
| officers swept past the ticket taker and
| reached the ringside where they made
/ the same proclamation.
"All you have TO do, boys. is to shut
/ up shop. We won't arrest anybody. "
| announced the deputies. A Sigh Of re-
lief swept over the throng ike a breeze
! over the lake.
! Without more ado, stakes were pulled
I'D and a majority Of the men accom-
panied the deputies back TO the car line
| and into the city.
! The fight was TO have been between
/ East Side and West Side amateurs and
was TO decide a long disputed cham
| pionship. A purse Of so was 10 go "a
| the winner. Beside the admission fee
! 10 cents was charged for the hayrich
ride from the car 20 the rinSside

A CRAZY MAN
Found Eating an Egg, Shell and All--
 People Amazed.

A crazy man was recently found eating an egg. shell and all, and it was declar- ed additional proof of his insanity, as everyone realizes that the shell of an egg has no food value, and is both in- digestiEle and injurious. It is just as crazy for a sane person to swallow a lot of cod liver oil to get the benefit of in, as for the crazy man to eat the egg, shell and all.
 Scientists agree that the oil or greasy part of cod liver oil has no medicinal value whatever, and only up- sets the stomach and retards recovery, but it is the medicinal elements envel- oped in the cods' livers and their of which represent all the tonic and cura- tive power of that famous old remedy.
 Vinol contains all the medicinal, cura- tive elements of cod liver oil, but is en- tirely free from oil, and is, therefore. the best strength creator and tonic re- constructor possible to obtain.
 The reason Vinol is so far superior to the old fashioned cod liver oil and emulslons is because it is made by a scientific, eXtractive and concentrating process from fresh cods flyers, com bining with peptcnate of iron all the medicinal, healing, body building ele- ments of cod liver oil. but no oil.
 Vinol is uneXcelled to restore health and create strength for rundown, de- bilitated, tired, overworked people. old people, weak women. nursing mothers punv, aillng children, convalesce1ts or for people suffering from hard colds hacking coughs, incipient consnmption and bronchitis Try 1t.

GRACE GEORGE.
With Associates She Gives Splendidly
 "The Dlvorcons."

With Associates She Gives Splendidly
 "The Dlvorcons."
 That the theater going public of New Haven appreciate a well constructed and perfectly acted comedy, was prov, en by the reception that was rendered Miss Grace George and her associates at the presentation of 'Dvorcons' at the Hyperion theater Saturday evening before a large and enthusiastic audi" ence The play in which Miss George is starring and the work that she does in it have achieved for her triumphs on both sides of the Atlantic, and she well deserves them.
 "Divoreons" is three act comedy, and deals with a rather dangerous sub feet as it's object, but Miss Mayo has given an English translation that is charmingly free of anything of r'- volting nature. The comedy deals with the love affair of a husband and wire. The latter and younger of the two has fallen in love, IS she supposes, With man of her own age, and the husband has discovered the same. Word is re- ceiVed that the new divorce day has passed the chamber of deputies and the husband agrees that his wife shall marry the man she imagines that she loves There follow a series of inter- esting and amusing situations which terminate in the wife's coming back to her husband.
 Miss George in the role of Cvprienne was humorous, sly, tender and bewitch- ing, as the case demanded, There was finese and naturalness about her act ing that made her charming. She care fully avoided all the opportunities that the part offered to be possibly vulgar and instead. made the wife winning impulsive and always attractive wom- an It ic by far the pest thing that she has done. MT Frank Worthing shared the honors with the star of the piece and it would really be difficult mat ter to say which did the more artistic work. At any rate 1t was the acting and subtle facial expressions of these two that made an audience applaud at various times during the piece so that 1 the actors had to stoo.
 | The rest of the cast was of the same ] high grade even to the parts of the maid and butler. One of the most artis- tic pieces of comedy work in the en- 1 tire play was that of Max Freeman l in the role Of Joseph, a waiter. After l Saturday evening New Haven should be
 glad to welcome Miss George at any 1 time and place.

 sensational success, "Follies of 19O7," which created a sensation at the Jar din de Paris, New York, after an all summer run that established a record Tor summer engagements in the me- tropolis, causing more comment than ,,.-. --ler production of the year. De- Ecribed as feast of musical, spectacu- lar and ratirical delicacies, served in thirteen courses by cast of one hun dred, the 'Follles of 1907" should leave little or nothing to be desired in the matter of furnishing excellent enter tainment for local playgoers this week. The book is by Harry B. Smith, and the lyrics and music are said to be by everybody. The production was con- ceived and executed by F. Zlefeld, jr., and staged by Julian Mitchell, that wizard of stagecraft, whose work in Babes in Toyland" and other popular musical productions is well remem- bered.
 Prominent in the cast are Bickel and Watson, who are well known in New Haven for their mfIth provoking pro clivities as the result of their ever popular comedy band.

Myrtle Edwards Arrested in Willi-
 mantle Charged With Fraud.

Willimantic Oct. 2O-Myrtle Ed wards, the actress, wife of Alexander Ccmstock of Waterbury, who is wait ing trial here, charged with fraud is nearing a nervous breakdown and her condition was considered bad. She was taken to the almshouse Friday where she will be more comfortably situated than in the police station where she has been locked up since last Monday morning. She has appeared before Judge Arnold in police court each morning she was brought here and has each time asked a continuance of her case.
 Her confinement Tn the police station has already had it's effects on the pret- ty soubrette and her will has at last broken down under the strain of her nervous system. She was in such con- dition that better care was necessary than could be given her in her cell at the police station and it was decided to remove her to the almshouse. She cries great deal and is nervous and unable to sleep.
 Lawyer George F. Hinman, who has been retained in the case by some of her friends, Is at work preparing his defense. In court yesterday morning he asked for further continuance to Monday morning. At his request the bond which was put at $500 was re- duced to $2OO in order that the prison CT might secure her release and be able to get the desired evidence.

"The Heart of Maryland"

One of the brightest and most suc- cessful of the few great enduring plays based upon the realities and roman ticism of American life is David Be- lasco's "The Heart of Maryland" " which will be the attraction at the Hyperion Tuesday and Wednesday with Wednesday matinee, Oct. 22 and 28. It is a dramatic epic which tells the story of woman's love and self sacrificing devotion and her undaunt- ed heroismS battling her way to the triumphant finale in the effort to save her lover from the disgrace of being executed as a spy. In this picture of love and war, she is the central figure amid a score of strong and realistic typical characters and accentuated by the romanticlsm which will ever glorify the history and traditions of our old colonial times.
