Thames River Events Go 10
the Crimson in Easy Style
This Morning.
FRESHMAN AND FOUR
OAR RACES ENDED
Vctors Rest Upon Their Oars
Awaiting Sons of Old Eli at
the Finishing Line.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, July f.
Harvard painted the Thames river
crimson this morning by winning
with perfect ease the varsity four
cared race and the freshman race.
In both races it was Harvard all
the way.
In the fom-oared contest, Harvard
took the lead Immediately and
quickly had clear space between the
Crimson shell and the trailing son of
Eli.
The finish at the navy yard saw
Harvard rowing easily about six
lengths ahead.
In the freshman race, it was the
same story. only more so.
The Blues worked braevIy. but they
must have realized after the first half
mile that they had little chance. In the
last mile Of the race, the Harvard
freshmen sped ahead easily. as If they
were saving their strength.
Yale was plugging along. but in the
anal quarter mile. the Harvard crew
was laughing at the effcrts Of the Blues.
Harvard crossed the line with a long
easy stroke. and the boys sat in their
shells splashing water on each other
and joining the tremendous crowd in
giving the Harvard yell AS the Yale
crew pulled srsvsly Up with probably
the best stroke It made during the race.
the Harvard boys gave yell for old

pect Of the big race being started on
schedule time at o'clock this after
noon.
With predictions and odds in the bet
ting showing Harvard the favorite.
Coach Kennedy. Of Yale, only smiled
when asked for statement. It was a
mighty confident. comfortable kind of
smile. ana seemed TO say: Wait and
see. No one ever yet knew anything
about boat races in advance"
Captain Howe. OF Yale. said hts men
were in perfect trim.
At Red Top. the Harvard camp was
working hard against overeonddence.
Wray Looks Worried.
Coach Wray looked a bit worried, but
his worry was clearly feigned. and un-
doubtedly was intended 70 keep his men
from starting out too sure Of them
selves
With the advantage OF weight and ex-
peTienoe In the Crimson, the dopesters
contended THAI only an accident or un-
toward fortunes of war" could defeat
the men from Cambridge
Yale money was plentiful. however
ard the betting was more spirited as
the time for the race approached. Tha
odds remained al 70 4. with Harvard

EARTHQUAKE RENDS
THE NEW MESSINA
Houses Built Since Disaster.
AS Well AS Old Walls,
Thrown Down.

MESSINA. July L-An OF the walls
among the ruins OF the old town and
several of the newly erected shelter
houses were shaken to the ground to-
day by two severe earthquake shocks,
which spread CONSERVATION among the
Inhabitants OF the new village, which
is growing out OF the ruins OF the de-
stroyed town.
The first shock lasted ten seconds
and caused panic among the inhabl-
tants, who abandoned their homes and
rushed out into the open.
The tottering walls Of the old ruined
quarter crashed 10 the ground, throw
ing stones and debris to great distances
Many OF the fleeing men and women
were struck by falling rocks and were
injured, but none fatally.
The shocks were felt all over Gala
bria, especially at MileIo, where the
population was driven into the fields.
Shocks At Reggie.
The shocks were felt severely at Reg
gio, where nearly every wall not thrown
down sby the December disaster was
destroyed. Earthquakes Of a minor ma
ture have been frequent here OF late.
but tOdays was particularly severe. II
was undulating and vertical, and was
accompanied by deep roaring sounds
Men who were present in both the
shock of December q and the one OF
today. declare this was OF far greater
intensity than the other. and the fact
that there we're no big buildings stand
ing IS the )nly thing that prevented a
great loss OF life
Many of TIE wooden houses that had
been erected 1sith the relief fund, raised
il America. we're not thrown down,
though nearly every other building in
the city was destroyed.

FAIR COMPANY
 TO BE ORGANIZED

Although little has been publish ed recently in regard to the enter prise, the proposition to have a big county fair at Conway next fall is not dead by any means. In a quiet way Secretary G. l.. Bah nel of the Board of Trade has been pushing the fair project among the members of the board, and it is now stated that the Faulkner County Fair Association is prac, tically a certainty and will be or eanized within the next few weeks
 An option for fVe-year lease on the 40 acre tract ill the eastern part of the city owned by Judge Sam Frauenthal and H. B. Ingram has been secured, and this will doubtless be the location of the fair grounds. It is also likely that w. N. Owen will be rendered the manage ment of the fair.
 It is planned to organize stock company with sufficient capital to cover the cost of erecting the fair buildings, enclosing the grounds and building half mile race track. A meeting for this purpose is expected to be held with in short time.

BOYS HAVE TO
 WORK STREETS

Prosecuting Attorney George w. Clark of this city today received an opinion from Attorney Geneaa. Hal l.. Norwood in which it is held that boys between the ages of IS and 2I may be forced to work on the streets of cities of the sec. ond class and incorporated towns, although those in the country are not liable to road duty until they reach their majority.
 One section of the statutes pro- vides that male persons between the ages of 2I and 45 shall be re- quired to work on the public roads, while another requires that male persons between the ages of IS and 45 shall work on the streets of towns of the second class. The question raised was as to whether the two sections conhicted in re- gard to the minimum age and whether the section referring to the work upon streets should not conform to that relating to work on the public roads. The attorney general held that there was no con f1ict whatever between the two statutes.
 The ordinances of this city re- qure that each male person be- tween the age of IS and AS shall work on the street five days in each year. The statutes permit cities, to require as many as TO days work every year.

Fav0rs Stock Law.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 In your paper last week I see two articles i'll opposition to the stock law, in which some state ments are made with which I can not agree.
 Tn the first place, believe that all citizens ol Conway who are di rectly interested in farming should have the right to sign either for or against the petition.
 MT. Dunn refers to Mississippi.
 I find that the farmers there still maintain the stock law after 20 ears experience.
 As to the. renter, 1 fail to see how it would cost him anything. If the landowner did not prepare pastures for his tenant, he would simply get no tenants, and if too many restrictions were made on the tenant, he would go to some other land owner. All of this would be governed by supply and de- mand
 I really think the hardship would come the first year and it would be harder on the small land owner than anyone else, but the expense of getting stock-water would be insignificant when con- pared with the cost of keeping the farm fenced, while all tillable lands ou side would be getting more fertile all the time. In my own settlement timber is getting so scarce that it is even difficult to get good fence posts, and it is only matter of few years until we will be compelled to resort to some thing of this kind.
 As to it taking a better fence to ! keep stock in than to keep them
