IN THE VARSITY EIGHT.
Port Side lows Much Better Than the
Observation-Disclosures Trial
This Afternoon.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N Y, June o4.-De-
spite the heat of the early morning here.
the Georgetown eight went out from
the float about II o'clock. The effect
OF Sundays rest was plainly evident, for
the usual Vim was not apparent this
morning
With the benefit Of the wind and tide
the Blue and Gray men padded up along
the eastern shore. There was no shade,
SO the men took matters easily. at the
mile and half mark a stop was made,
ana stuart got a chance to fix his foot
rest. one of the screws in the adjusting
part or the rest dropped out, and as
result, until the foot hold was fixed, the
NO 4 man was not getting much power
in the leg drive
The bow and stern four were worked
alternately. after which the she'll was
sent In stretches, but there was no even
ness. and the shell was not on the keel
Nrohln washed out a the finish and did
not eaten with the rest. Foy was at
lauit In this respect also.
. Inc port side of the boat Is better
IMAM the starboard. and is perhaps as
eood port side as the Blue and Gray
ever had
When the turn was made for. home the
coacnlnS launch. the Robert Collier. went
out IN mldstream. and from this vantage
point the body swing of the eight appeared
oel.er than at closer range. Coxswain Duff
gave the men under him free rein until the
high bridge here was reached, when he
called on them for spurts, which were kept
up until after the Poushkeepsie wharf was
at the stern of the she'll
The welcome order to stop did not come
any too soon for the fral eight as the
weather was mountaineering them. Coach
russell will try this afternoon to remedy
the defects in his eight so that they NAV
be In condition for the big trial Wednes-
day. If he can eradicate the tendency on
the part of Murray and Cronin to wash out
at the finish. and of Woods to swing out of
the boat. IT will help materially.
Nearly all of the observa ton tickets have
been sold. Navy threw Il big surprise this
morning when its eight came down the
river using a twenty-five stroke instead Of
the high one to which the sailors have been
accustomed.

NOTICES TO MARINERS.

1t Is stated that lack of funds may pos

Mariners, compiled by the photographic
bureau. These notices to mariners in
formed of all changes in the location of
lights and buoys, danger marks, new perils
to navigation and other matters of mari
time Importance. The publications of the
photographic Office are regarded as invalu-
able to mariners all over the world, and
the news of the possible Suspension of
the Notices to Mariners is viewed by them
with alarm. The absence of the informa-

SETS ASIDE DISTRICT LAW
JUDGE MULLoWNY's VIEW OF
PERMIT FOR POULTRY OWNERS.
Decides Regulation Creates Glass Dis
elimination and Is Therefore I'm
constitutional-Appe Noted.

Judge Mulowny today declared to be. I'M
constitutional the police regulation put into
effect a few months ago compelling per-
sons who keep chickens pigeons to get
out a permit. In the overthrow Of this
law, should the judge be sustained, thou
sands of people will be affected, and one OF
the hardest jobs of the District inspectors
will be unnecessary. The case in which
the question arose was that of the District
of Columbia against Albert M. Keen.
The regulation which was declared I'M
constitutional is as follows:
mo person shall keep any kind of live
fowls or pigeons in any square or block
within the District of Columbia which
has Is per cen. of its. territory improved
without having first obtained permit so
to do from the health officer of said Dis
trict. which permit shall prescribe the con-
dltJons under which such fowls or pigeons
the consent of 10 per cent of the residents
within radius of 100 feet from the
boundaries of the premises upon which
lows or pigeons are to be kept; provided,
however, that such fowls shall not be per-
mitted to run or stray beyond the
boundaries of said premises; and provided
further that this regulation shall not apply
to fowls or pigeons confined in coops in
sion stores or public markets. or to homing
pigeons The remainder of the law pre-
scrbes the penalty.
Glass Discrimination.
Judge Mulowny decided that the law
made class discrimination, and was there
fore unconstitutional, unreasonable and I'M
just. The discrimination was pointed out
in the provision that the low does not af-
feet commission houses. Although one
man, who is a commission merchant, can
Keep as many chickens as he wants, his
neXt-dOOr neighbor, it was poined out,
not being provision or commission mer-
chant, cannot keep chickens without get
ting permit or the consent of 10 per cent
of the residents nearby Judge Mullowny
thought that this was improper discrimina-
ton.
Further. the law excepted homing pigeons
from its effects. although including all other
kinds of pigeons Judge Mullowny pointed
out that the law was intended to prevent
nuisances in the city, and he regarded
much of a nuisance as other kinds of
pigeons. if a nuisance at all. Again he
thought there was discrimination.
Further, the court regarded the law as
being too broad and inclusive. He stated
that the word fowl could be taken to in
clude every kind of bird and the law would
thus prevent persons from keeping all
kinds of fowls, such canary birds even.
"A man could not raise a baby. If 1t
made noise" commented Attorney
Kenyon. who represented the defendant in
the case.
Prosecuting Attorney James l.. Pugh ex-
cepted to the ruling Of the court saying
he would appeal the case.
