LID TO Be CLAMPED
ON TIGHT NEXT
SUNDAY
THREAT OF COMMITTEE or 100
TO IMPEAcH SMITH HAS ITS Eff
Feet AND CLOSING ORDER
GOES FORTH.

Detroit is TO be dry" once more.
Satisfied that the committee OF 1907
means business and that its threat to
ask for his impeachment unless he
gets busy" is no idle bluff. Police
Commissioner Fred w. Smith has de-
cided to clap the lid on again, begin
ming next Sunday The word is being
passed among the saloonkeepers all
over the city. and those found doing
business the Sabbath hereafter will be
prosecuted.
In other words. Commissioner Smith
Is suffering from an attack OF cold
feet since the committee of 100" de-
livered its ultimatum. For several,
weeks past the saloonkeepers have
enjoyed practical immunity, for 1t was
understood that 1t was safe to sell
liquor during certain hours on Sun
day. At any rate, they did business,
almost openly In some cases. and no
complaints were made. But this must
all end now, and woe to the saloonist
who takes chance.
When the commissioner was before
the committee recently he was given
just two weeks in which TO enforce
the liquor law The time is up next
Tuesday so the commissioners ac-
ton comes in time to thwart the
threatened Impeachment proceedings.
With the information In the possession
OF the committee, much of 1t In the
form OF affidavits. that body was In a
position TO make 1t exceedingly warm
for Mr.. Smith and he evidently realized
his predicament. Hence the new lid
order.
Still another saloonkeeper was con
victed In the recorders court Friday
OF keeping his saloon open on Sun
day The defendant was John
Schlotta, No. l442 Mt Elliott-ave.
Judge Phelan fined him $25.

The Washington Government Disposed To Regard the Venezuela Incident As Closed.

Washington. June 25.-The Ameri- can government is not looking for any further trouble in Venezuela. The recall of Jacob Sleeper. charge q af- faires, and Lieut. Ruggles, of the le- gation at Caracas, apparently ends the diplomatic incident except so far as President Castro may add to the complication by some official action.
 There are almost a dozen consular officers and agents of the American government stationed in several Vene- ZUelan cities. It is understood that there is no intention on the part of the government to recall them as they are attending to the interests of Amcri- can citizens and their absence would be undesirable. These agents have no diplomatic functions. But if there should be sufficient reason, the de- partment will not hesitate to direst them to surrender their eXequaturs and request the officers of some other government too look after the interests of the United States.

Princeton, June 25.-The funeral of Grover Cleveland tomorrow will be marked by extreme simplicity. AL though twice elected president of the United tates, no pomp or splendor will have place in the ceremOn- ies. There will be no bands to play mournful dirges on the way to the old Princeton cemetery; no military escort; no eulogy by officiating cler- gymen.
 The half mile of thorOughfare through which the cortege will pass from Westland, the Cleveland home on Bayard Lane, to the cemetery, will be policed by mounted troops of blue coated soldiers, but they will be there for police duty as a measure of pre- caution in protecting a living presi- dent rather than as an element of display in paying tribute to the de- parted chief executive.
 It had been Mrs. Cleveland's wish to avoid anything of a military ma ture at the funeral It was only when the necessity of guarding Pres ident Roosevelt, who is to be in at tendance, was borne upon her by those in charge of the funeral ar engagements that she consented to the presence of the troops in a police capacity.
 Final arrangements for the cere- mony and the names of those selected to officiate were not announced until this afternoon when the acceptance from all had been received. Four clergymen will officiate at the house and at the grave They will read the burial service from the Presbyterian book cf common worship, but will offer no eulogy. This simple but i'm

The Collapse of Yale's Stroke Turned the Race Which Was Otherwise Close, Into MOurnful Procession.

New London, June 25.-Amid a deafening din of whistles and horns and amid the shouts of the collegians, the Harvard varsity eight shot it's boat over the finish line tonight, win ming from the crippled and distanced Yale crew that classic of American college aquatics, the Harvard-Yale varsity boat race. But instead of it being a race Harvard finished the last mile and a half alone, while far behind Yale limped along with but seven men at the oars, with GrisWOld the stroke-the man who had been relied upon to set the winning pace bent forward. faint from the terrific strain of the opening two miles.
 Up to this unexpected climax, it had been a struggle worthy of the best traditions of the old antagonists. and with a fitting setting of marine spectacle such as has seldom been equalled along the regatta course for brilliancy and magnitude.
 For the first time, too, the presi- dent of the United States was taking a keen and active interest as a cham

 Yale was more fortunate in having a distinguished champion, Mir. Taft, present in reality-the central figure of a group of cOllegians aboard one of the observation trains who shouted encouragement to the Yale crew as they sped over the early reaches of the course and then collapsed into glum dismay as Griswold was seen to fall over helplessIy in the Yale boat
 The race was rowed under the most favorable racing conditions, just as the sun was setting over the pie turesque Thames. with the water broken only by the ripples. a cloud less sky and a light northWesterly breeze. The picture of the straining racers as they started on the course was one of intense interest. On eith- CT hand the green hills of the Thames stretched away dotted with old fash toned New England farm houses and the river banks fringed with solid masses of people and crowded Ob- servation trains skirting the banks,
