woolly bunch OF long-haired COW

after cattle into surrounding coun-

at q high salary to do hair-raising
act, the chief feature being shat they
should appear to be thrown from
their horses and dragged by the

side Referee Until Naval
Officer lnterferes.

New London, Conn. June Edward
II. Hartman, the railroad magnate,
was arrested during the Ysle-Har.
ward boat race for persisting in fol-
lowing the racing crews. Mr.. Harri-
man had been repeatedly warned,
but, in his powerful motor boat,
ignored the officials OF the course,
and was finally taken into custody
by Lieutenant Billiard, President
Roosevelt's naval aid. Mr.. Harri-
man is liable to heavy fine.
Lieutenant Billiard, who was In
charge OF the revenue cutters, had
warned every boat owner not to fol-
low the race. The big varsity strug-
gle had scarcely been started when
Mr.. Hartman, in powerful motor
boat, started to follow the race.
Lieutenant Billiard and Chairman
Schweppe, who we're aboard the
Regatta Committee boat, the Arrow,
repeatedly warned Mr.. Hartman to
stop his engine and get out OF the
course.
Mr.. Hartman not only paid no at
tention to them, but took position
right alongside the reierees' boat and
held 1t. Of the navy yard Lieuten-
ant Billiard signaled ior q launch and
footed the revenue cxttsr whistle,
which finally caused Mr.. Hartman
to look around.
OFFICIAL ANGRILY CALLS TO MAGNATE
"You are under arrest, SIR" shout
ed Lieutenant Billiard. "You will
give yourself up to this man who will
take you aboard the Gresham to
await my orders"
Then 1t was discovered that the
man in the powerful and speedy boat
was Mr.. Hartman. Chairman n
Schweppe, OF the Regatta Committee,
was angry, and he shouted to Mr..
Hartman In terms that the latter
could not mistake. The millionaire
levelled his iorefnger at Chairman
Schweppe and yelled back:
young man, will see you later. !"
Schweppe's friends aboard the Ar
row gave Mr.. Hartman a gentle
laugh. Mr.. Hartman saw no more
OF the race, but was detained as any
ordinary prisoner aboard the Gres-
ham until after the race was over,
when Lieutenant Billiard vent aboard
the Gresham and released Mr.. Harri.
man, but ordered his boat tied up at
the navy yard. The incident may
cost Mr.. Hartman a fine OF $500.
This was the penalty imposed on a
yacht owner at last years race for
transgressing the rules governing
the course.
