 That Coach Jlm Wray of Harvard, reached Red Top Saturday and had a view of the evening practice of Yale crews from the motor boat at Har- ward quarters was not generally known at Gales Ferry until the rowing was over. Mir. Wray was interviewed Sun day morning by the Journal Courier correspondent, Mir. Wray walked to tho end of the dock at Red Top and renewed acquaintance in his good na- tured way, He said Harvard had a good crew and that all men were feel ing fine. He felt proud of the way his charges acquitted themselves against Cornell and felt confident they would give a good account of themselves on the Thames. Some of the Harvard rowing squad are expected in New London Monday morning but the ma jority will not arrive until D. III.
 It may not be news to those close to Yale athletics circles but It will be sur prlsing to outsiders 10 know that the Yale varsity crew this year is the most perfect physically which has represent ed old Eli on the Thames for years perhaps the best ever seen on the riv- CT The physical examination records verify this statement. which was made by ProfessorI Durfee on Saturday even Ing.

 Sunday was the first really good row ing day experienced since the Blue oarsmen arrived at Gales Ferry. but. of course, nothing could be done but pray for similar conditions through out next week. Prospects are very good tonight for continuance of fair weather, and a time trial Is expected almost any day that wind and tide serve.
 The rigging of the new shells has been adjusted satisfactorily now 10 nt each man-thls work taking some time and much close observance on the part | of John Kennedy. There was no bon 1 fire at quarters Saturday night, the ] news of the victory of Princeton In the l baseball game being received quietly i It may be that the serenity of mind i fin which the oarsmen received the news was induced by the fact that the managers and assistant managers oi the crews had been well and truly tucked in the river a few hours be- fore, being slung off the end of the dock with a hearty. muscular one, two three, followed by terrific spash.
 A number of Harvard oarsmen are ex. pected 10 reach New London Monday forenoon, but the main crowd will not arrive until D, m, when they will probably board the launch and go uT the Thames in time for the first prac. tlce in the evening The shells will arrive early in the morning and will b, at once shipped 10 Red Top.

SECOND CANOE UPSET
Two Yale Men Saved After Thrilling
 Experience at Woodmont.


 W. A. Curtss, Yale 1909 S., of East Haven and j. A. Watson, who until it's close last week was a student in the Art school, who have been stopping at the cottage of w. N. Buttrick, Beach street, Woodmont, were canoeing yes- terday afternoon off Woodmont and by the overturning of their shell had a very narrow escape from drowning. The two students intended padding to Nor ris Cove and when a little way from the shore Curtiss lost his paddle and in making an effort to recover 1t he cap sized the canoe. Curtiss could not swim so Watson who is a good swim mer grabbed Curtiss who had gone down for the first time, in an effort to keep him above water, at the same time calling for help. The overturned canoe was within reaching distance of the men, but Watson was so exahusted that he was unable to use the canoe to keep afloat, especially as he was handi- capped by the weight of Curtlss Three Waterbury young men, Robert Quinn of 4l2 Meadow street, Clifford Martin of 55 Spencer street and Thomas Her mann of 92 Burton street, who are staying in a cottage at Woodmont saw the accident and went to their assis- tance. Quinn who Is @ good swim mer and a well known athlete, swan to the two men, his two companions following in boat The three res- cuers succeeded in reaching the shore with the two capsized men,
 Curtiss was in a serious condition from the water he had swallowed and 1t was necessary to roll him on the ground pr, Robert E, Peck of the Woodmont sanitorium attended Curtiss and last night 1t was stated that he was out of danger. Watson was none the worse for his experience.

CONTRACTORS OFFER TO
PAY UNION WAGE SCALE

Glen & Ricu, Iuv contractors who
are putting in the water and sewer
systems, this morning offered the un-
ion scale of wages for laborers, $500
for a day of eight hours. The offer
was made to union men, who refused
to accept it unless the contractors
would agree to make of it a union
job. In other words, the union men
would not go to York unless the men
now employed join the union and in
the future only union men be en-
ployed. This provision of the union
men was not accepted by the contract
ors, who state that they nave all the
men they can use at this time. A
large crowd of 1aborers and sight
seers surround the big machine that
the trenches, and this gives South
Main street a busy appearance. The
ditching machine is proceeding slow
1y through the mud and water which
was found at a depth of sever or
eight feet at the corner of Alameda
and Main.
The argument of the union men is
that if it remains an "open job"
mostly %non-union men will be employ
ed, and thus the non-union men will
reap the benefits of the high wages
secured through the efforts of the I'M
ion, which will neither get the work,
exclusively, nor the recognition. The
union men are of the opinion that not
more than fifteen or twenty men will
be needed to follow the machine and
do the detail work it cannot perform,
and for that reason, they state, now
that they have raised the scale of
wages, they want all union men to
reap the harvest, though it is smaller
than any of them anticipated. The
machine does the work of rs or 80
men. The laborers had expected all
this work to be done by hand.

A TRIBUTE OF SILENCE.

John Sharp Williams mas given an
excellent illustration of the fact that
In the presence of death human sym
pathy rises above ~partisanship. He
was scheduled to deliver an address
at the ~Chautauqua at Creston, Iowa,
the day before, Senator Allison's fu-
neral The day was billed as a Dem
|ocratic occasion and a red-hot parti-
san address was expected of the erst-
while Democratic leader of the house.
A great crowd was present primed to
listen to a characteristic outflow of
Democracy from one Of it's leading
opponents. Mr.. Williams, however,
concluded that inasmuch as the first
citizen of the state hen lay dead at
his home a partisan address, even
though 1t had been scheduled, would
be in pad taste. Consequently he
turned a deaf ear to the pleadings OF

government of the country into comic
opera.
Mr.. Taft is much o good a man
to be sacrificed. Alone Upon his char
acter, his service AND his merit he
might have claimed the first place in
the nations gift and had his claim
allowed; as heir at law, no; as the
beneficiary of the machine methods,
no.
Theodore Roosevelt is a popular
man. Even the Democrats owe him
for his good intentions and for the
enemies he has made. They will fol
low lin into his retirement with salu
tations; but they will not accept a
designated successor and the dynas-
tic principle at his hands.
Theodore Roosevelt has preached
socialism so far reaching as to throw
Mr.. Bryan and his dream OF railway
ownership quite into the shade, to
make Mr.. Bryan look like a conserva-
tive. He who would constitute either
free silver Or railway ownership a
preCeXL IOr IurIner opposing MT. bry-
an Is not a Democrat and never was
a Democrat.
On no public question of the time
is Mr.. Bryan a menace to the coun-
try. On no public question OF the time
is he as radical as Mr.. Roosevelt. In
the campaign the people will be ask
ed to revise their judgment of a man
and to choose between two men, the
n representing Democracy, unterri-
fed and undefled-the Democracy
of the people-the other representing
the one-man power and the one-party
power.
