in the inner harbor.
Walter Folsom, owner and sailer of
Mischief H.. proved to be the cham
pion the first year, and took the same
honors the second year, closely follow
ed by Captain Dodge, George Wallace
and other weli-known yachtsmen.
These boats were -bottomed, fat
ended and fat-deeked They were
about twelve feet long. and had one
sail cut like a regular sloop mainsail-
In addition to this they carried com
bination ballooner and spinnaker which
could be set from the cockpit by the
man at the helm The cockpit consist
ed of a space aft of the center board,
where a man could place his legs when
he was not lying fiat on the deck.
Some of the prettiest starts, jockey
ing and finishes were witnessed during
the races, and every body in yachting
circles declared that these mosquito
races had the big yacht races skinned
to FRAGILE.
For $50 to 800 local yachtsmen can
build a small craft of this kind and
enjoy more real sport sailing round
Pearl Harbor than they can by getting
wet and cold in outside races.
The Advertiser would be glad to give
publicity to suggestions on this sub
ject, especially to opinions as to what
type of small sailer would be best
adapted to local waters.

REPORT IS DEMANDED.
House Wants Report of Investigation
 of Cotton Fluctuations.


 Washington. April 24-The House to- day discussed resolution making per- emptory demand on the Secretary of Commerce and Labor for the report of the Commissioner of Corporations, covering the result of his investiga- tions into the causes of fluctuations in the price of cotton, under the resolu- tion of the House passed last year
 MT. .Burleson. of Texas, the author of the resolution, said that he had in- formation that the resolution had been investigated and the report prepared, putin some way the report had found its way into the possession of the custo- dian. of the big stick where 1t had been for several days"
 The adoption of the resolution was vigorously urged by MT. Bartlett. of Georgia, who declared that the with holding of the report was in defiance of the House.
 MT. Fitzgerald, of New York. sarcas- tically remarked that because of Mir. Burleson's influence with the admins tration. the investigation had reach ed only the New York Cotton Exchange and left uninvestigated, men in his district who are attempting to force up the price of cotton goods to the poor people of the North"
 Before the resolution could be voted on. the House took a recess until to- morrow

T see it is raining" said prominent citizen yesterday. as he gazed upon the moonlst--or electric 1it--surf on Dex- ter Avenue last night.
 More of that drooling persons fool ishness." remarked another observer of the surf. But let me say that for once the prominent citizen has min mixed something. You notice he said that 1t was raining. Now anybody who didn't know enough to get out of the rain would know enough to get out of that mixture of waterspout, whirlpool, and hail. And look at that ocean on Dexter Avenue. Beautiful isn't is, to see how the water curls in eddys where two streets cross. The Dexter Avenue current is the stronger and a perfectly dry square Is formed except for, the drops falling from the skies Rather peculiar that, isn't itg'
 The prominent citizen left the streets of stagnant downtown during the Hull in order to get home where he be- longed. but a few stayed on the street corners and discussed the fall, the quantity of water on Dexter Avenue. and the river-like scene all paved streets presented during the hardest of the rains between g and 10 o'clock.
 During that rain Dexter Avenue. without exaggeration did look like good creek. Water flowed. not only in the street car tracks, but nearly foot deep across the whole avenue. In the gutters the water whirled by, washing the sidewalk. Boxes, barrels, blanks. dirt from side unpaved streets, filled the street.
 At its height the water did not stop for the storm sewers Some of 1t. of course, flowed down, but the larger quantity ignored the storm sewer opening At the corner of Dexter Ave nue and Lawrence Street. the water from Lawrence Street flowed over the iron grating, around 1t, and seemingly none into it.
 The han which descended for short period during the height of the fall was really a sphere as big around as a quarter. Some of it was flat and resembled two half dollars stuck to- gether. It would be easy to exagger-

 As it was, the water fell in sufficient ly large quantities. Many store keep CTS were alarmed about the goods l placed in their cellars. One prominent
 storekooper stated that if the heavy fall about s:30 o'clock had kept up
 about a minute longer. every cellar on
 Dexter Avenue would have been flooded.
 Under tn e awnings and sidewalk cov- erings on Dexter Avenue between Perry Street and Court Street. interested and
 protected spectators discussed the 'situ- ation. As barrels. boxes and blanks fioated by, anxious looks were cast up the avenue and toward cellars stored
 with valuable goods. As the rain abated and consequently the fow or
 water dininished. sighs of relief and
 smiles were passed around. That the damage to property IS con siderable, is not to be doubted. A rain as heavy as that of last night. mixed with the largest kind of hail. must or necessity be attended with great loss to
 the farmer in young growth and prob ably in stock.
 At one time the wind blew at very
 high rate, but up to a late hour last
 night no damage was reported from

 It was not possible to get into com munication with the Weather Bureau last night, but from reports of heavy rains received in this office last night from northern districts, a freshet warning may be expected from the Weather Bureau this morning. -

HOUSES THREATENED
OVERFLOW OF GENETTA DITCH
 DAMAGES MANY RESIDENCES.
Foundations of Numerous Houses in South Montgomery Are Washed Away Because of Last Nights
 Floods.

One of the results of last nights rain storm was the flooding of Genetta Ditch, which 'overfowed it's banks and washed away the foundations of sever al residences in the southern part ol the city. No casualties were reported though residents in that part of Mont gomery suffered many inconvenience and discomforts.
 Sufferers appealed to the Police De- partment for assistance, but naturally enough the department could do little to aid them. Captin Miles Smith, in charge of the Department at night sent Mounted Officers Patrick and Cur tis to the place and their ride through the storm did nothing more than to confirm the reports sent to headquar- ters.
 The cessation of the rain and the sub sequent abatement of the flood pro- vided relief.

 "Pari Passu, with the breaking down of isolation, that makes a common pub lie opinion possible, the building up of standards of conduct is being accom- plished by the formation and establish ment of rules that are being gradually taken out of the domain of discussion into that of general acceptance=-a pro- cess in which the recent conferences at The Hague have played a great hon. orable part. There is no civilized. coun- try now which IS not sensitive to this general opinion, none that is willing to subject itself to the discredit of standing brutally on It's power to deny to other countries the benefit of recog- nized rules of right conduct. The dif- ference shown to this international public opinion Is in due proportion to a Hdliou STSdtuess anu auNduCe m CIV ilfzation. The nearest approach to de- fiance will be found among the most isolated and least civilized of coun- tries, whose ignorance of the world prevents the effect of the worlds opin- ion and in every such country internal disorder. oppression, poverty and wretchedness mark the penalties which warn mankind that the laws estab- lished by civilization for the guidance of national conduct can not be ignored with impunity- r

International opinion Is the consensus of individual opinion in the natiops. The most certain way to pro- mote obedience to the law of nations and to substitute the power of opinion for the power of armies and navies is, on the one hand, to foster that decent respect to the opinions of mankind" which found place :n the Government declaration of 1776, and on the other hand, to spread among the people of every country a just appreciation of in- ternational rights and duties and a knowledge of the principles and rules of international law to which national conduct ought to conform: so that the general opinion whose approval or con- demnation supplies the sanction for worthy of respect"

Twenty-Five Patrolmen Decline to Obey Chiefs Orders and Are sus-

 Peculiar Situation. M

Pensacola. Fla, April 24--(Special.) ) |. With the exception of about eight men. the entire Pensacola police force refused duty today when ordered to get on cars of the Pensacola Electric Com pany and protect the non-union motor men and conductors from any at- tempts at violence. and for several hours today the city was without pro- tection, excepting what could be given by the limited number of men.
 The Pensacola Electric Company yes terday applied to the, city for police officers on these cars which pass through. exposed sections of the city, and the-1Mayor, after considering the matter for nearly twenty-four hours, issued an order to the Chief of Police to detail a sufficient number of off, cers on the cars to give the necessary protection. When this order was is- sued, the force was called to the as- sembly room at police headquarters and the order read to them. Twenty five men immediately stepped from ranks and refused duty. They had pre- viously intimated that they would not serve on the cars. When they declined service each man was immediately suspended by the Chief and notified to appear before the Board of Safety for trial on the charges he preferred against them. Among the officers are some who have served for eight years on the force.
 Tonight a sufficient number of new officers have been sworn to service to protect the city and the property of the company is being protected by the provisional company of State militia. The crowds which have heretofore gathered in front of the government building and especially on the curbing surrounding the building. were perma- nently dispersed today when Custodian John E. Stillman posted notice prohib- iting gatherings on government prop erty.
