new RECORD FOR COURSE
Arrest of Hartman Adds Interest TO.
Exciting Event.

New London, Conn, June 27.-Be-
fore the largest crowd that ever wit
messed race on the Thames river,
the Yale crew this evening, rowing an
average of four strokes to the minute
less than Harvard, held the big Cam
bridge eight even until the last half
mile, when the blues let out their
speed and won magnificent contest
by scant boat length. Only once in
the whole four miles did the long
graceful shells cease to lap each other.
Thousands of persons crowded the
observation trains and every kind Of
floating craft, and those who lined
the shore gave cheer upon cheer to
the old rivals as they got out one of
the grandest races in the history OF
boating. Yale's time for the four
miles was 81 minutes and 10 seconds;
Harvard's 81 minutes and Is seconds.
The race was accompanied by one
disagreeable incident. This was the
arrest OF E.. I'll Hartman, the rail-
road magnate, by Lieut.. Billiard, Pres
ident Roosevelt's national aide. Lieut..
Bullard, who was in charge Of a rev
enue cutter had warned every boat
owner not to follow the race. The big
varsity struggle had scarcely been
started when Mr. Hartman, in a
powerful motor boat, started to fol
low the race. Lieut.. Bullard and
Chairman SchWeppe, who were aboard
| the regatta committee boat, the Ar
row, 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 of the referees boat
and held it off the navy yard. Lieut..
Bullard signalled for launch and
blew the revenue cutter whistle,
which finally caused Mr.. Hartman to
look around.
You are under arrest, SIR shout
ed Lieut.. Bullard. you will give
yourself up to this man, who will
take you aboard the Gresham to await
my orders
The millionaire lifted his forefingel
at Mr.. Schweppe and said:
Young man, will see you later
lschweppe's friends aboard the Arrow
gave Mr.. Hartman a gentle laugh.

| Hartman saw no more Of the race,
but was detained as an ordinary pris-
oner aboard the Gresham until after
the race was over, when Lieut.. Bull
lard went aboard the Gresham and re-
leased Mr. Hartman, but ordered his
boat tied up at the navy yard.
The incident may cost Harriman a
fine Of $500 This was the penalty
imposed on a yacht owner at last
years race for transgressing the rules
governing the course.
The race was scheduled to be roWed
at 1880 O'clock, but at that hour a
stiff northwest breeze was blowing,
which every now and then broke out
into little squalls that would have
sWamped racing shell. The fresh
men and four-oared races we're post
poned until O'clock. The big crowd
that never considers the oarsmen but
always wants to see the race, was
growing impatient when shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock the breeze gradually
fdied away and at z o'clock, when the
1.-TWO eights reached their stake boats
\ just above the big draWbridge, there
was scarcely enough wind to ruffle
the hundreds Of flags that tioated from
the finest yachts Of the eastern sea
board which formed an avenue all
!, the way up the river for four miles.
The time of n minutes and 10 sec
onds up stream, was the fastest on
record for an upstream race. The
record for the course is 20 minutes
and one second, but this was made
down stream, with tide and wind. The
rowing Of Yale's crew which, man for
man, was not physically the equal OF
Harvard i, is the greatest achievement
OF John Kennedy, the blue profes-
sional coach.
The difference between the two
crews was simply that Yale used her
strength more economically than did
!. Harvard.
The postponed freshman eight
cared race and varsity four-oared
race win be rowed up stream tomor
row at 1870 o'clock.
John Richardson, Jr., of Boston was
elected Harvard captain tonight,
Richardson rowed No. on the var
sity team.

ment rings have been a fad for years among New York's 400.
 Of late the supply of green gold has been about exhausted. There were only two or three mines in the world from which it could be obtained. and for long time the Lucky Boy was the principal producer of this rare and precious metal. The jewellers are anxious to get another supply and would be willing to pay a higher prem ium than formerly if they could ob- tain it. The brick owned by MT. Kay anaugh is about all of the mineral that has not been sold to the manufac- turers and used for rings and other small ornaments.
 This was a most pleasant surprise for the owners of the Lucky Boy. The mine was recently purchased by the Consolidated Arizona Gold and Copper company. which is formed of Phoe- nix people. The company intends to make the property a producer agan as soon as possible and thus give the world another supply of the beautiful and rare metal which it seems their mine only can now produce.

Property That Produces a Very Rare Quality Of tie
 Yellow Metal,

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 1S.-John Kavanaugh, manager of the Troy. Manhattan company at Troy, was in Phoenix. yesterday on his way to Los Angeles for his summer vacation. While in Phoenix MT. Kavanaugh was showing about a ring and a brick made from gold taken from the Lucky Boy mine in Pinal coupty.
 This gold, says MT. Kavanaugh, commands a high premium from New York jewellers, for there is very little of it's kind in the world It is a pc cuIiar quality of metal, known as green gold, from the pronounced greenish tinge in its color.
 Years ago when the Lucky Boy was being worked MT. KaYanaugh bought all the gold produced by that mine and acted as a sort of middleman be tween the owners and the jewellers, who were so anxious to get it. He paid the mine owners more than they could get from anyone else for it and the jewellers purchased it from him at a price far above that which is paid for ordinary yellow gold.
 It was used mostly for the manu- facture of wedding rings, and it seems that green gold wedding and engage

His brother was in the employ of the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacihc Rall' road Company between Naco and Cananea. The only mark on the body of Webb was a black streak down his back bone which showed che course of the lightning. while the horse showed number of burnt spots on him, a big scar being burn ed ou the top of his head and an other mark along his back.

 The new safety deposit vault in the First National bank of this city will be completed and ready for use in c few days. They will be managed as separate department of the bank and undoubtedly will be appreciated and largely patronized by the patrons of that reliable institution. Above and at the rear of the count ing room is a large compartment with the very latest burglar and fire proof vault and safes. An elegant parlOT s being fitted up for those having busi- ness in that department. For a small consideration individuals can obtain a box and key and store their valua- bles, money. s:lverwaTe, etc. in case ton or business.
 In all large cities safety vaults are in great demand and undoubtedly will be as popular in the Shelter City The department will be in charge of a reliable attendant and safety from fire and burglars will be guaranteed Great credit is due to the management of the bank and especially Cashier Hanks for this enterprising feature in Douglas banking.
 While the bank s as busy as can be the new directors room in the rear on the ground floor is not quite complete.
 Altogether the bank will present as snug and complete an outfit as can be found in any city in the country.

WRITING STORIES IS EYTINGES PASTIIME

 preSSible,

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19.-The Ga zette is in receipt of a letter from Louis V. Eytinge, who was convicted of the murder of John Leicht on March 17, last, on the desert north of Phoenix, and sent to the penitentiary at Yuma over a month ago. Eytinge's letter is quite buoyant in tone. He asked that the Gazette be sent to him. as he wants to keep up with what is going on in Phoenix. He speaks of his improved health in the following words, after jocularly refer ring to Yuma as a health resort:
 My health is improving very fast under the hot sun, and you may be sure that the next time I won't be so weak as to be unable to take the stand in my own behalf.
 "Tamale Sam, while an amusing character, was never admitted to close intimacy with me, and down here we are strangers, due to his betrayal of a proposed jail-break to the sheriff. Stitching is the great unforgiyable crime of the underworld
 While the prison authorities will not allow the prisoners to send out newspaper and magazine work, Fly tinge has kept on writing stories. He has completed two of his peculiar studies of criminal life since his in generation in the penitentiary and intends to dispose of them after he is brought back to Phoenix for a new trial, which he is sure will be granted him by the supreme court.
 Eytinge has also a few words to write about District Attorney Bullard who tried so hard and so successfully to convict him, He declared before he left Phoenix that Bullard had not been fair with him. In his letter ht reiterated this statement, but gave al praise to John J.

POKER CHIPS ARE NOW

HauntS of the Gamblers Have All Been Deserted
 for Good,

As deserted as a village church at midnight were the haunts of the gam blers last evening, where the poker chips have been rattling nightly and in the early morning for months, not withstaGding that all gambling had been closed in Tucson, says the Star. It was discovered after the first city anti-gambling ordinance and the ter ritorial anti-gambling law had been enacted that neither touched poker playing, and as a result the games were allowed to run.
 In the business district and also in the vicinity Of the depot, as well as in the tenderloin regions, the poker games fourished and many were the tales that were told of the victims who were fieeced out of their mon sy. There were numerous innocent lambs who walked blindly into the games and when they stacked up against experts they walked out light
