 looms.
NEW HAVENER IS CHOSEN
\. W. Kendall Unanimously Elected Honorary President of United
 States Brewers.

Milwaukee. Wis. June 10.-The Unit cd States Brewers association at its closing session today adopted a plat form of principles, in which 1t pledges Itself to the abolition of the immoral saloon and to the cause of temperance in the use of Intoxicants.
 In discussing the resolutions, H R. Scharman of Brooklyn declared that the social evil is io be condemned wherever 1t hourishes. and demanded to know why the saloon should be ls- plated in connection with 1t.
 The trouble Is not" retorted Jos eph Uihlein of Milwaukee, when Mir. Scharman had finished, that these resolutions are not to strong, but that they are not strong enough These low saloons are breeding spots for all sorts of crimes and criminals We do not wish to condone any of them or any dlsreputable features. The crim- inal resorts should be eliminated in this country from any connection with the business of the brewers
 A letter from J. Topham Richardson, or the EnRlsn brewers aSSoclatlon was read. He wrote that many church. men and other prominent people in England Were opposed to the efforts to prohibit the liquor trafiic.
 A letter from the committee of -four teen" in New York for the purpose of eradicatng evils under the Raines law, sent letter to the convention making encouraging reports of pro- gress.
 The board of trustees unanimously recommended that George ]. Oberman of Milwaukee and N. w. Kendall oi New Haven be elected honorary presi. dents and Joseph Liebman of New York be elected as honorary members of the association. This was carried
 The convention then went into execu. tive sesslcn, at the conclusion of which the convention adjourned sine die to meet next. year at time and place to be decided upon by the board Of trustees.

FIRE EXAM HELD
Thlrty-five Candidates Tried at Test
 Yesterday.

The last of three examinations which the civil service board voted some weeks ago to hold on request was held in the Boardman school yesterday af- ternoon when the paper for those who wished to qualify as substitute flremen was given. Thlrty-hve candidates who had passed their physical examination were present and took the paper.
 The board has not yet taken up the correction of the papers of those who tried to get on the eligible list for po- lice serReants. At a meeting last week half of the papers of those who took the examination for searcher of rec ords were gone over and at another meeting set down for this evening the remaining papers are to be reviewed. The papers in the other two exanina- tons will be reviewed as soon after wards as possible, but on account of the large number will probably take some weeks before they have all been gone over.

MARRIAGES FALL OFF
May Was Fifteen Below the Record
 of 1907.

Whether the slump in prosperity Is the cause or not 1t Is quite certain to the employees of the department of vi- tai statistlcs of this city that there Is something wrong with the happy swains and bashful maidens who usu- ally about this time of year desire to link their names together on one of those pieces of paper which that office hands out as a marriage license. Dur Ing the month of May just passed there were issued only 62 licenses which is falling off of l5 from the total of r for that month last year. Not only does this hold true for the month of May but the entire year thus far has shown the same bad tendency and thus far the busy month of June has done little to retrieve matters al- though 1t will of course surpass the earlier months of the year. Cupid seems 10 have been cnmeshed in the net of the panic and has not yet euc- ceeded in getting his vigorous self out of the skeins.

CREWS GET DOWN
 TO REAL LABOR Yale and Harvard Oarsmen Stir Up the Thames in
 the First Actual
 Tryouts. SHELLS PASS EACH OTHER Men Given Hard Drill at Evening Praclicc--Both Blue and Crimson Coaches Pleased With
 Work of Men.
SHELLS PASS EACH OTHER
Especial tc the Lcurnnl-courier.

Gales Ferry, June lO.-At last the long spell of high winds seems to be broken and today the Thames river took on It's normal summer aspect in the afternoon. The breeze kept rather strong in the forenoon and the work of fale's oarsmen was not quite so fine to the spectator, although old oarsmen knew that the men were doing fine rowing under the circumstances.
 The morning practice was very light. John Kennedy spending much of the time with the fours, correcting indi- vidual defects in oarsmanship. In the afternoon there was a feeling around quarters that possibly a time row would happen in the evening, but 1t wac just a little late when the wind calmed down and no effort was made to send the varsity eight over the four miles against the watch.
 However, the evening practice was quite as hard asrthough tho full course had been rowcd, for the men were glv- en hard drilling which covered about six miles of the river. The crews were sent out at $50 D. m, the fours going out first, quickly followed by the eight oars and pair oar. This took every oarsman In quarters out, except those incapacitated from boils.
 For the first time this season the Blue oarsmen went down river below quarters. and showed their form tc their Crimson rivals, who were also out on the stream. The varsity eight looked well and every man justified his selection for his place in the shell by pulling finely.
 Now that the people along the shore have had a chance to see the much vaunted Harvard crew alongside theil opponents there is less talk of an easy victory for the Crimson. Around Gales Ferry today old oarsmen talked freely of the two crews and the general opin- ion is that while Harvard has first rate crew this year. the Yale eight il rot to be despised and will have to he reckoned with before the winning pos Is reached June 26th.
 Tho swamring of Yale's shell las' night has made no trouble with tn crew. and the boys rather enjoyed thu fun than otherwise. The shell was un harmed and was in use again today a! good as ever
 In the freshmen eight today another little surprise was sprung. stroke Liv ingston going back to his place in tn,
