The contest brought out the cusL
tomary crowds of enthusiasts, and long
before the race started the banks OF
the river, from the start to the finisy
were lined by people. All sorts of rivet
craft We're moored along the sides Il

The Oxford crew received much chaf-
fling because of it's recent trial over
the course performance that was
met by a tremendous storm of protest
as q violation of all amateur sporting
traditions.

Standpat newspapers of the state
have been rejoicing with the railroads
because tho supreme court of the
United States has knocked out the

the standpat and railroad candidate for

Young Didn't Get 1t.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington, ID. c., April An con-
neclion with the reports that Lafay-
cite Young, of the Des Moines Capt.
tal is in Washington for the purpose
of pressing his claim to the position
OF public printer, it can be said on the
best of authority that whether Mr..
Young is a candidate for it or not, he
will not be named. Mr.. Young is not
known positively to have been an ap-
plicant, but Iowa people have had the
impression that he would like the
place. At any rate, another man has
been chosen for it.
Young Almost Had 1t.
1t is positively declared, on high au-
thorty in Iowa circles, that when La
fayette Young went to the White
House today he expected that he was
going to be named public printer. He
was there only a minute, and few
moments later announcement was
made that John S. Leech, now pub
lie printer of the Philippines, would get
the job. The story is that as recent
ly as Thursday the president intended
to name Young, and on that day he
was told of the actions of the state OF
Iowa against Young, concerning al
legged overcharging by Young as state
binder, and that this decided the pres
ident not to make the appointment, on
the grounds that confirmation would
be impossible. In political circles the
story is regarded as highly significant,
because it is alleged that it will af-
feet the Iowa support of Taft.
Young told the president that Frank
Gotch. the wrestler who last night de-
feated Hackenschmidt for the worlds
championship, was an Iowa man and
successor to another man, Burns. as
the worlds champion. The president
said he would have expected to learn
as much. Mr.. Young leaves tonight
for the west, and OH Tuesday will
speak with Secretary Taft at Council
Bluffs.

RAILROADS WON'T coNcEDE.
Minnesota's Appeal for Compromise il
Rate Cases Turned Down,

Minnesota's Appeal for Compromise in
Rate Cases Turned Down.
Minneapolis, April 4.-There will be
no compromise between the state of
Minnesota and the railroads. The fight
on the rate question must go to it's
finish in the courts.
All the leading Minnesota roads
were represented in the conference of
attorneys held Wednesday in st. Paul,
and at that meeting the compromise
proposition was discussed and reject
ed.
This proposition had been conveyed
verbally from state officials to certain
railroad attorneys. 1t was peace
measure to erld the litigation and quiet
the rate question, to avoid an extra
session of the legislature and other
dangers.
The plan was for the roads to Sc
cure dismissal of the stockholders in
junction suit stop fighting the 2-cent
fare and the merchandise rates, and
make some reduction in commodity
rates.
Such course would have done
much to win popular favor. but it
struck the railroad men that it meant
too complete surrender. They turned
it down, anG, decided to see the fight
thru. What course the governor and
attorney general will take remains to
be seen.
The railroad attorneys haven't much
fear of an extra session. They be-
lieve it has been headed off Had the
Peckhom decision knocked out the
rate law entirely. no doub; the legis-
lature would have been called together
TO pass another one. That appealed
