OPPOSES PROHIBITION.
Secretary De Nedrey Claims to Speak
for Local Labor.

Samuel De Nedrey secretary of the
Central Labor Union, appeared before the
House District committee today in oppo-
sition to the Sims bill for absolute pro-
hibition in the District He said he was
not pleading for special interests or fer
any individual in the liquor business. but
merely wanted the committee to know
that organized labor desired no change in
the liquor laws of the District of Column
bia. He also took occasion to deny that
Ia boring men were those who abused the
use of intoXicants. They had to live so
close to what they made that most of
them could not afford TO spend money for
drink.
Declaring that prohibition did not pro-
hibit, Mr.. De Nedrey said:
Il have been 70 Maine, a prohibition
state, and there is no real prohibition
there. ! have sat in a hotel right on a
level with the street with the electric
light turned on and | have seen drinking
going On at a great rate. ! have been in
he dry Zcne of Tennessee, and all that
prohibition has dcne there has been to
compel the express companies to increase
their clerical force to be able to handle
the big trade in jugs.
Mr. De Nedrey also asserted that il
Washington were put under prohibition
la VS. the retail! and wholesale liquor bus
ness of Alex andria would be doomed, as
1t only costs ) cents TO get there.
Today was the la prohibition hearing.
The committee will not recommend any

READY FOR THE
AMERICAN HENLEY
Washington to Be Represent
ed by Three Crews in
as Many Events.

The American Henley at Philadelphia
Saturday will be the magnet that will at
tract the attention of our local oarsmen
and there is every prospect that an ex-
tremely large exodus will take place to-
morrow and Friday for the scene of bat
tie.
Mr.. 1nnis Forbes, one of the leaolng
stewards of the American Rowing Asso-
citation. which is the proper name OF the
so-called American Henley" in letter
to The Star says the coming regatta will
be the most attractive one of the year. not
excepting the national. middle states or
the collegiate affairs at Poughkeepsie and
New London.
He bases this view on the fact that for
Cornell. University of Pennsylvania. SYRIA
cuse Columbia, Georgetown and the New
York University will compete. Added to
these will be the cream of the clubs from
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
and hence he predicts wonderful sue
cess for the fifth regatta of the American
Association.
Three Crews From This City.
Washington will send three stinct rep
resentatives, the first time in the history
of the city that three eight-oared crews
in as any races have represented this
city. Georgetown University will send its
fast and speedy varsity crew to row in
what is called first eight-oars." while
the Technical High and Georgetown pre-
paratory schools will go out for honors
In the race for schoOboys.
Under the skillful coaching Of Harry
Vail the varsity crew of Georgetown has
reached high state of perfection. and
coach. manager and crew are confident
that they will give an exceedingly fine ac-
count of themselves. They have been
working hard and faithfully over the Hen
ley distance, one mile and a sixteenth,
having discarded for the present the long
route of four miles. and Coach Vail has
got them down to the sprinters' distance
without any drawback whatsoever They
Will row in the eight-oared shell belong
ing to the Potomacs. a craft that has
lost only one race out Of ten on the
Schuylkill river
The crew Is in much finer shape than
when it met the New York University
three weeks ago, and it naturally expects
much harder race than the one against
the New York students. In this race the
varsity expects to meet again the New
! ork University, and also Columbia SYRIA
cuse and University of Pennsylvania, as
well as the New York Athletics, Bachelor

WELTERWEIGHTs IN HOT BOUT
Harry Lewis Makes Chopping Block
of Charley Hitte at National A. C..

NEW YORK. May 20.-Harry Lewis. the
Philadelphia welterweight made a, chop
ping block Of Charley Hitte of Albany in
bloody six-round glove fight at the Ma
tional A. C. in East oath street last night
When the fight started Lewis showed his
superior cleverness and agility by jabbing
Hitte in the nose and mouth with rapid
blows. Hitte missed several heavy swings.
but he was full of fight.
AS the second round began Htte landed
solid right hand swing on the jaw,
which staggered Lewis and made him
hang on in a series Of clinches. But after
that Lewis jabbed some more. until the
blood poured from the Albany mans nose
and mouth.
Lewis kept up his jabbing in the third
until Hitte made him rec. with a terrific
swing on the side of the head But Lewis
recovered In a jiffy and had his man in
Queer street at the gong.
In the last three rounds Hitte took a
terrific beating. He bled so freely that
both men were covered with gore. Lewis
landed countless blows without receiving
a return. for Hitte's swings were either
blocked or ducked. When the fight ended
Lewis was the winner by mile.
In the preliminaries there was plenty OF
red hot slugging. Willie Mcdonald Of

of last season is full of snap and ginger
and at the start is about the fastest ever
seen on.the Potomac river. They could
always beat the second varsity crew. the
one that recently was defeated by Tech. -
and hence the meeting with these two
will infuse lots of local interest
They have had a decided advantage in
training daily with the varsity, and their
race each day over the measured racing
course has given Capt. Daley and his
boys lots of experience that will stand
