THURSDAY EVENING

coach at Harvard in former years, is
here. He came from Europe especial
ly to see the regatta.
A large crowd Is present. Yale was
obliged to give odds of to 4 that she
would win the varsity eight race, but
freely gave to l that she would land
the varsity four match. Harvard back
ers conceded slight odds in the fresh
man four event.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Ethel Archie, Quen-
tin and Kermit and party of relatives
and friends witnessed the event. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had intended to be
present, but at once abandoned the
plan on learning of ex-President C1eve-
lands death.
Right OH Time.
This great athletic event was pulled
off on time today. This race between
Yale and Harvard has been talked of
for months
This race, together with the
Poughkeepsie races. gives the lovers
of rowing a great week.
The Crimsons have had a most en-
couraging preliminary season, defeat
ing the Naval academy s and Cornells
first boat, the latter by matter of
ten lengths.
Harvard has been training for the
past week at New London. In the
matter of weight and experienced
material as well as in the detail of
early season rowing Harvard appear
ed to have the advantage just before
the race started today; furthermore
the Harvard crew has had two good
races; Yale has had one:

this ship.
Most of the passengers on the Lar
ache were residents of Argentine Re-
public. The Larache. was little more
than an old tub and she proved a ver-
tible death trap when she struck on
the rocks near Muros- She sank in
few minutes, leaving the passengers
and crew struggling in the water. The
small boats on the Larache were eth
er smashed or capsized. There was
a fleet of fishing boats in the neigh
borhood and these rushed to the res
cue, but the heavy fog prevailing Sc
riously interfered with their work.
The fishermen succeeded in rescu-
ing 65 persons. In addition to the
captain, the ships doctor and the first
OFFICER were drowned. The disaster
occurred at o'clock in the morning
and most of those who were saved
are without clothing.
1t has been ascertained that the
number of passengers and crew of
the Larache totaled $50. Sixty-five
persons are known to have been saved
but the fate of the other S5 is not
known, and it is feared that most Of
them perished.

the half mile both crews struck little

half mile and mile and Yale pulled up

At the mile Harvard had led by half

After passing the mile the crews rowed

death of former President Cleveland
MY only difference with him. Mr..

Mr. Cleveland, rather than disliked

est. His failure to unite the great lib
eral forces of the country into a COM
pact body and to lead them onward
to the realization of the enlightened
and systematic reforms which had
been already marked out for him. was
due. partly to his lack of preparation
and training in national affairs and
partly to his lack of tact in the man
agement of men.
Throughout his first term in the
White House he was handicapped by
the wont of familiarity with both men
and the measures of the time.
Throughout his second admins

funeral arrangements have been
agreed upon many minor details will
not be settled until later in the day.
1t was agreed at Westland at 1890
a. m, that the complete funeral ar
rangements would not be given out
until this evening. Some of the ar
rangements depend upon the ability
of certain relatives and intimate
friends of the family to reach here
tomorrow. The funeral is fixed at 5
o'clock in the afternoon in order to
give some of those whose presence is
desired time to get here from distant
points. All of these persons have
been telegraphed for and until re-
sponses are received no names or de-
tails of the funeral will be announced.
A tentative list fthe hhonorary pail
bearers has been prepared and it is
expected the names will be made pub
lie as soon as those invited to act have
been heard from.
Local citizens in conjunction with
the friends who are assisting Mrs.
Cleveland in her hour of sorrow are
today giving some attention to ar
rangements for the visit of President
Roosevelt He probably will be met
by a very small committee of Mrs
Cleveland's friends.
Although the funeral will be strict
ly private at Mrs. Clevelands resi-
dence. a great many people are ex
pected to come to Princeton tomorrow
and in anticipation of this the local
authorities are 'making preparations
to handle the crowd. A force of po-
licemen from Trenton. n. j., will be
to assist the local police and an at
tempt will be made to rope off the
street leading from the Cleveland resi-
dence. Bayard Lane and Hodges ave-
nue. to the cemetery. The local mill
tiamen may also be pressed into SER
vice.
Among Mrs. Cleveland's callers DUR
ing the morning hours were DIR. A. T.

both of Princeton university and in

The California club is, metaphoricalIy,

hundred tickets were the limit for invi-

5000 disappointed maidens are talking,
and declaring, and announcing emphat-

much interest In the scheme for the
pleasure of the enlisted men at the
start. but since the idea has met with
so much appreciation not only from the
men themselves but from the admiral
and his officers, many are coming for
ward and claiming their right to invite
guests on the strength of their mem

But Mrs Cornwall is standing firm

club would demand so many tickets l
would not have asked 126 organizations
to invite their prettiest girls for the oc-

have had new gowns made and been
happy in planning the good time they
were to have. And now+-well, 1 have

FALSE PRETENSES IS
CHARGE AGAINST BOLCOM
Prominent Lumberman Accused
in Warrant of Wrongfully
Disposinp of $3.50

SEATTLE, May Sin a complaint
filed by Jean Romano, proprietor of the
American machine works. Prosecuting
Attorney Kenneth Mcintosh this
morning issued a warrant for the ar
rest of C. c. 'Belcom, a prominent Sc
attic man, now living In San Fran
cisco The charge is obtaining money
under false pretenses and the amount
involved is $2,550.
c. c. Bolcom is a brother OF William
M Bolcom, head of the Bolcom mills
Inc. of Ballard Harry Bolcom is an
other brother. All three of the Bolcom
brothers are well known in lumber
manufacturing circles.

of the best known lumbermen of the
Pacific northwest.

GUNS TO BOOM AS
FLAG COMES DOWN
Evans Two Starred Emblem
Will Flutter From Mast
No More

Admiral Evans will sever his con-
nection today with the battle fleet, and
at noon his two starred flag on the Con-
necticut will be hauled down for the
last time to the thunder of 1Ss guns
All the ships OF both fleets will join
in this last tribute to the retiring COM
mander in chief. Admiral Evans will
not be on board the flagship for the
good by ceremony. Admiral Thomas,
who succeeds to the command of the
fleet and will make the Connecticut
his flagship, will hoist his flag after
that of Admiral Evans has been hauled
down. The flag of the new commander
in chief Will be saluted by the combined
fleets and the wheels of duty will re-
sumo the regular revolutions.
That Admiral Evans will not be on
board his flagship is a source of deep
regret to his officers. Evans is loved
by officers and men alike, and in the
navy they have a beautiful method of
expressing this regard when the loved
chiefs flag comes down.
CAPTAINS AS OARsMEN
Had Admiral Evans health permitted
his taking physical leave of the feet
he would have been taken ashore in
his pulling barge and the oars would
have been manned by the captains of
the battleships. To few retiring ad-
mirals is this attention rendered. and
that his officers cannot do this for
Admiral Evans adds to their sorrow
at the parting.
Admiral Thomas staff will be as
follows: Commander A. w. Grant.
chief Of staff; Lieutenant Commander
MeAlpine, fleet engineer, Lieutenant
r. Mclean, fleet ordnance officer; Lieu
tenant K. G. Castlenan, flag lieutenant;
Lieutenant F. D. Berrien, flag secretary,
and Lieutenant D. A. Weaver. fleet
athletic officer.
THOMAS REIGN BRIEF
Admiral Thomas reign as commander
In chief will be brief. Sharing with the
officers and men OF the fleet their re-
gard for Admiral Evans, he also an
joys their confidence and regard. But
the feelings of the feet count for moth
ing and when the time for Admiral
Thomas retirement comes down will
come his flag. The time set for this
second good by is May Is, when Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry, now COM
mander of the fourth division of the
Atlantic feet, will assume the supreme
command. Admiral Sperry will take
the feet back to the Atlantic.
