fourth, Wisconsin fifth, Georgetown
sixth, and Syracuse did not finish, her
shell being swamped a half mile from
the finish line.
The Ithacans won by the narrowest
finish line was crossed and the judge
announced that Cornell had won, the
thousands of spectators, both afioat
and ashore, were in doubt as to which
crew won the victory.
Cornell and Columbia fought for the
honors of the race over the whole four
miles of the course and at no time
during the entire distance were the
two shells more than twenty-five feet
apart. Columbia led for over three
miles, and then Cornell took the lead,
only to lose it to Columbia again. In
the last 100 feet of the race, Cornell
by tremendous squirt shot the nose
of her shell out into the lead and
swept over the finish five feet ahead of
the Columbians.
Syracuse captured the honors of the
varsity four cared shells, Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Columbia finishing
in the order named. Syracuse finished
two lengths ahead of Cornell, and her
time over the two mile course was
10 minutes and 81 LIS seconds. Wis
consin won the freshmen eight cared
shell race over the same course Of
two miles. leading Syracuse over the
finish line by one length and covering
the distance In 3 minutes and 56 sec
onds. Pennsylvania was third, Col
lumbia rowed the last quarter of a
mile In almost waterlogged shell,
which filled near the stern when three
feet Of planking was ripped out by
striking a submerged log.
The varsity race was postponed .un-
til after o'clock on account Of rough
water. Twenty thousand people saw
the race.

Knows M'ParIand Well.

Sioux City, June 27.-W. c. Daven-
port formerly sheriff of woodbury.
county and ex-chief Of police OF Sioux
City, is well acquainted with James
MCFARLAND, the Pinkerton sleuth, who
is one of the central figures in the
Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho. Back in
the early 90's the famous old detective
was a frequent visitor to this section
of the country, and usually made his
headquarters IN Sioux City. Davenport
first met him in 1893, when he was as-
ISOLATED with him In running down a
gang of bank criminals who were
wanted. back east. He regards McPar-
land as probably the shrewdest detect
i've in the world and describes him as
being good natured old Irishman who
has been in the harness for nearly half
a century. MCFARLAND is nearly 20
years old, but Davenport says he would
be taken for man of so.

November. When the train reached
Victor on the next trip Scott and
Sterling were there. They told me
They've removed a rail at the iden-
teal point you thought they would.
Scott and Sterling said they saw the
men at work.
when we struck the curve we got
out and walked ahead where nine or
ten spikes had been taken from the
rail. 1t was still in place, however"
would there have been any diff
Guilty in taking your train across in
safety?"
II wanted to do it, but the conductor
thought we had better put the spikes
back, so we did It,"
"And this is all there was to the
train wrecking!"
Yes. sir"
On cross examina ton witness said
the point where the spikes were pulled
was undoubtedly the most dangerous
on the road and the most likely place
to be selected by train wreckers.

REFUSE TO "GUsH"
Pennsylvania Democrats Declare
Against Laudaton of President or
Any IndividuaI-PIatform on State
Issues.


Harrisburg, Pa, June 27.-John e..
Harman, Of Columbia county, was
nominated for state treasurer by to-
days democratic state convention.
The platform is devoted entirely to
state issues, the revelations Of the
legislative commission which is investi-
eating the expenditure of $4,000, 900 in
furnishing the state capitol forming the
feature of the document. 1t challenges
the wisdom Of continuing the republi-
can rule in Pennsylvania and declares
the dominant issue before the people
of the commonwealth is to be whether
dishonesty in public places shall cease
or continue: whether graft shall be
sustained, Or rebuked and punished"
Believing this to be vital question in
this state" it says I'VE are not to be
led astray by the perfunctory endorse
ment of any candidate for president in
1908. Or declamatory laudation of the
present incumbent of that high office"
Regarding control of trusts and 9TH
er combinations, the platform favors
the most rigid regulation of trusts
and combinations that wisdom can de-
wise under the laws of universal appli-
cation and impartial enforcement"

To Develop Power From the Ocean.

Is the cherished dream Of scientists
to come true after long years? A Ger
man electrician claims to have invent
ed a machine which utiliZes the power
of the ocean waves SO that dynamos Oh
shore can be made to develop electric
ity enough to light streets and build
ings.
If this be true he has solved the
problem Of future fuel supply. for no
longer would coal be required for cook
ing, heating or power when electricity
could be had so cheaply. All the pow
er, light and heat the world required
would be at hand to last as lorg as
mar. The economical saving of such
an invention would be beyond COM
prel,ension and could hardly be spoken
in figures. Foodstuffs, clothing. trans-

J. @, Adams Cradle.

The cradle bed Of John Quincy
Adams has historic interest for all
Americans. 1t is preserved In the
museum in Boston and is of the type
common at the time Adams was born.
1t has wooden box with rockers
and hood Of the same material, guilt
less of decoration of any sort. Speaking
of cradles, one is reminded that 1t is
said that Francis D'Assisi invented
the cradle for the purpose of making
plain to the people of his time who
could not read the picture of the Ma
tivity. The mangerlike cradle used
then containing the Christ child gave
the ignorant folk an excellent idea of
the conditions in Bethlehem on that
wonderful Christmas night.

to do with q Iecision to ask for the
so per cent Both are well posted
on freight re 1t was found by care
full investiiS N of actual joint ship
ments tror-aa rious parts of the state
that 10 r-c cent of the two locals
would on ,st shipments be abour
equal to the continuous distance tariff
The continuous distance tariff was
what was wanted by most Of the mem :,
bers of the association, but it was
feared that 10 per cent would be 50
low that if the railroads fought the
rate in the courts the association
would be unable to prove that 1t was
compensatory. 1t was found that 80
per cent was about s per cent above
the continuous distance tariff, and it
was the belief Of those in the associ-
alton best informed that they would
have no difficulty in proving that it
was compensatory. 1t was for that
reason largely that the association de-
cded ON 80 per cent as the proper
schedule.
Before the railroad commission all
possible schedules were argued and
advanced. Many Of the railroads,
while fighting all joint rates, argued
that if they were put in at all 1t should
be at first only on articles such as We
hicles. Hamblin for the Burlington in
sisted that joint freight rates on gro
ceries never should be thought Of 1T
was argued that the rate should be
sliding rate varying between 140 per
cent of the locals and 105 per cent.
Following the meeting of the Iowa
Manufacturers association in Council
Bluffs, petitions from thousands of the
members of the association were sent
to the railroad commission, and all
united on so per cent. Members of the
association are now congratulating
themselves that they got almost ex-
actly what they asked for.
The order of the commission will put
the rates into effect August L. The
schedule will be 80 per cent of the To-
calls thru billing and with a minimum
charge of 25 cents. The question Of
the railroads absorbing the transfer
charges is still open. The commission
has announced that on carload lots the
railroads must absorb the transfer
charge, but on less than carload lots
1t will investigate further into condi-
tions tefore finally deciding.
The Importance of the joint rates is
evidenced by the fact that one small
manufacturer has figured that it will
save him $1,000 year, besides en-
abling him to reach a wider terri
tory.
