D0RIES MUST ADHERE TO
REGULATIONS ABSOLUTELY
Slight Variations in Equipment Will
Disqualify Boats from Competition
in Races-NeW Course Is
Laid Out

Notice to members of the Dory associa-
tion of the South Coast Yacht club was
served yesterday by Chairman Stewart
Laughlin of the regatta committee to the
effect that slight variations in the equip
ment of any boat will disqualify her from
participation in the race.
Some members being dissatisfied with the
hang Of their sails have changed them.
Other sails have stretched a few inches be-
yond the dimensions stated in the original
plans. According to the order Issued yes
terday "all sails must come within the sail
plans, before and after stretching, else
they will be ineligible for any champion
ship race hereafter"
Most of the owners have been rubbing
the sides of their boats with various oil
compounds to overcome the resistance
caused by the roughness OF the side plank
ing. This Is absolutely prohibited accord
ing to yesterdays order The committee
declares that 1t intends to enforce rigidly
the rule that the dories shall beu inform in
every particular, so as to make the test
one OF seamanship rather than of equip
ment.
The course for the next official race, jan
uary 8, was announced, and will be entirely
different from the preceding races Boats
viii cross the line between the flag and the
Miner bulkhead usual at noon with the
starting gun, and will proceed around the
breakwater, thence to Point Firmin whist
ling buoy, leaving the mark to port, and
thence to the starting point, leaving the
flag to port, The course of the second race
will be announced later

ATTELL KNOCKS OUT
MACKEY IN EIGHTH
OHIO FIGHTER SHOWS WEAK
FROM THE START
Californian Floors Him Four Times in
the Final Round Before He
Fails to Come to
Time

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. Pet required
eight rounds for Abe Attell of California
to knock out "Biz' Mackey Of Ohio tonight
in their fight before the West Side Athletic
club. More than $500 sportsmen witnessed
the contest Although Mackey showed UP
weak and ineffective from the start, it re-
quired constant hammerlng with body blows
for Attell to wear him down to where he
could reach his head and deliver the knock
out
In the eighth the Californian finally be-
came effective, although he had the best of
the fight from start Getting in a hard
blow on the kidneys with left on the jaw
Attell sent Mackey to the floor for the first
time.
The referee counted eight before Mackey
rose. The Californian then sent him down
with a right handler and the O.iioan al
lowed seven to be counted before he got up.
For the third time Attel sent him to the
floor, but Mackey got up before the gong.
As last effort Attell went at him furi-
ously with both hands and sent him down,
but just the referee counted ten the
Ohio boy again tried to struggle to his
feet, but he was out.

NON BIPARTISAN SCHOOLS.

All who favor non-partisan school
board should attend the non-partisan
conventions and help placing goQd,trust-
worthy men in nomination, and then
turn ont and cast their votes for them,
and help interesting their friends and
reighbors in them. Another attempt
will, 1t seems, be made to capture
the schools for the benefit of the par
tisans who have declared war upon the
people and who have announced the un.
American doctrine that officials are re.
sponsible to party bosses and not to the
people. Such efforts should be frls'
tlnted at the polls, The schools should
be kept out OF the maelstrom of parti'
san politics, particularly when 1t be.
comes so raging as 1t is In Utah, and
the only way to do this is to nominate
and elect independent men who are
willing to serve the people. This Is
matter In which the citizens are all
equally Interested. Keep the schools
out of the grasp Of the un-American
sollticians who consider Offices as
"spoils."

RAILROAD RATES.

. :. i + y ~ { {.
There always are two sides to every
question, and the question of railroad
rates is no exception to the general
rule. Mr. George j. Kindel of Denver,
told one side at the meeting held at
The Commercial club on Monday even
ing. lie stated that sheepmen are
paying s16sOOO more yearly to ship
their 100000 pounds of wool to Bos-
ton than 1t costs the California sheep
men to ship similar amount to Bos-
ton from San Francisco. He declared
that the freight on the steel used in the
construction OF the Newhouse build
lngs, COS sl,10 per hundred to ship from
Pittsburg to Salt Lake while it would
cost only Is cents per hundred from,
Pittsburg to any city on the Pacific
coast. He also said:
Your new Commercial club building
will require $50 tons of steel. That
viii mean that you will pay $50 IL
oense to the railroads to put that up.
That much would be saved by building
that structure in any one of the Pa
cific coast cities And that tribute Is
paid on the structural steel alone"
This is probably true. AT least, as
q general proposition it is true that
freight to inland cities is higher than
freight to coast cities. We believe the
scale generally is the freight to the
coast plus the freight to the inland
point from the coast. The freight for
instance, TO Sacramento is the freight
to San Francisco with the rate from
San Francisco to Sacramento added.
This certainly looks bad, and If any
thing can be done within reason to
equalize the rates it should be done.
But it seems that the interstate COM
merce regulations permit this arrange
n,ent, to enable the roads to meet wa
ter-way competition. and that Utah
and Colorado points are no exception
to the general rule.
AS We have said, there is another
side, and in fairness that should be
stated, too. Railroad rates have con-
stantly decreased with tho increase OF
business, and the decrease will contin-
ne. 1t is not many years since ticket
to the Missouri river from here. which
now costs $50. was more than double
that amount. Freight rates have been
lowered proportionally.
1t Is also true that products manu-
featured in Utah are sold JUST as cheap

SUDDENLY CALLED.

. Il j j
The Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate brings q message of the sudden
death of DR.. David d. Thompson, the
editor OF that paper, at st, Louis, Mo-
on Tuesday, Nov. 10. DIR. Thompson
was In attendance upon the sessions
Eof a committee on missionary work.
on his ways to the meeting Monday
evening, he was just about to cross
Lindell Boulevard to enter the church
when lie was struck by an automobile
ana thrown some distance along the
ground He was instantly cared for
and taken to the Lorraine Hotel, where
examination disclosed conditions re-
quiring surgical attention. lie was
then removed to st. Luke's Hospital,
where he fingered through the night,
and passed away in the morning.
DR.. Thompson was a prominent fig
ure in the Methodist church and hi
sudden removal will cause sorrow
throughout that denomination. The
Advocate has been well edited paper.
although in its anti-"Mormon'' policy
1t has evidenced unusual narrow
mindedness. 1t has, however, never
descended to the contemplate tactics
of some other papers claiming to be
Christian. and this, we believe, is
wholly due to the noble Christian
character of the now departed leader.

AN OLD STORY REVIVED.

The old yarn about the Church au-
thorities introducing religion INTO ". VIC
schools Of Utah is being revived at t'lis
fine by the arch agitators VINO seen
determined TO pursue their course uit w
they are effectually overwhelmed DS
enlightened public opinion. To anyone
conversant with the actual conditions
IN Utah 1t is perfectly obvious that no
church authorities, be they OF one Dc
nomination or of another nave any
such influence over the pubic sciiooi
svstem as Is implied in the absurd
charge that they had introduced re-
]igion in the schools, but the story was
Mt one time. relied upon for effect ana
1t Is evidently hoped that 1T may 90
service once more in a cause that has
absolutely no justification. except such
MS can be offered by the masters In the
art of distorting truth into grotesque
forms.
The grain of fact upon which the sto-
Nv rests Is this that religion classes
were at one time held in some school
houses after school had been dis
missed The trustees never dreamed
of doing anything wrong by opening
schoolhouse to religious instruction pi '
no wrong was committed, that we kno"
or. unless, as has been allegeu' ~ ~ =
few cases the classes were interieieu
with by the dismissal of the scnooi ~
the teachers, before the regular ii '
re This Is n fact, the teachers anu io
one else were responsible for that' Hiiu l
We dare say in no instance was any res i
injury done. Schoolhouses an wv
+,c country are opened, when Inc Tvs
+ees seq fit to do so. for meetiiisS' an |
many travelling missionaries OF various l.
churches have awaited themselves l e''e
privilege of speaking and teaci is ~
l,pion in such buildings, without any
,nog raising q rumpus about II, put
+binrs are SO different here under the
suicidal agitation directed against wy
church. Molehills are magnited 5il'ho
mountains, all for the purpose OIL Keep.
Ing the agitation going.
No attempt was ever made by tne
Church authorities, nor by tho super
OF the Religion classes, 70
religion into the schools. ihat
charge is as malicious as 1t Is absurd.
On the contrary, when the complaint
was made tho teachers of religion
classes were advised not to interfere
with the schools in any shape or man
rcr whatever, and that advise, we be-
Iieve, has been followed in every in
stance. And, In the meantime. there
IS a wide difference between ''introduc-
ng religion into the schools" and using
/ scroolhouse for a religion class after
school hours. 1t is by obscurins the
questions at issue and confusing the
IDEAS that the asitators keep their
inpes in line. When the terms are
dearly defined and understood, it is OBJ
,ious that there smoothing to complain
about.
