CLAIMED FOR LAW VIOLATION

Lamb for a perpetual injunction re-
straining the Standard Oil Company
from operating in Mississippi and
seeking to collect $11,O00000 in penal
ties for alleged violation Of the anti

the history Of the Standard Oil Com
pany and the methods by which 1t is
alleged to have stif1ed competition in
this state. Under the Mississippi code
the state is entitled to recover a
statutory penalty of $4,000 per day for
each specific violation Of the anti
trust laws and the penalties sought to
be recovered in this case cover period
Of three years. The hearing. it is un-

same grounds as set forth in similar
proceedings Instituted III other states

BOAT CREWS READY
Yale and Harvard in Trim for Ade-
quate Events to Be Rowed at New
London, Conn.,, Wednesday.

New London. Conn.,, June 30.-All
arrangements for the Yale Harvard
boat races, which will be rowed on the
Thames tomorrow, have been COM
pleted. The four-oared race will be
rowed at 10:S0 o'clock from the head
Of the four-mile course down stream
to the navy yard. The freshmen race
will be rowed Immediately after the
finish of the folfr-oared race, starting
at the navy yard and finishing at the
bridge. The race between the univers-
ity crews will start at e o'clock at the
bridge and will finish four miles up
stream.
Ordinarily the Yale crew is a big
favorite for the annual race, as is nat
ural enough in view of the scarcity Of
Harvard victories on the water for the
last twenty or twenty five years; and
Yale Is generally favorite on general
principles more than on any expert
comparison Of the crews.
The prestige Harvard gained by her
victory over Yale last year has been
dimmed by her failure to make good
against Cornell this spring. Probably.
If 1t were not for the fact that Har-
ward proved to be so far superior to
Yale last year. and that the Harvard
she'll contains most. Of the men who
made up last years crew, the Yale
/ varsity would be a decided favorite.
From all appearances the two crews
seem to be more evenly matched this
year than is usually the case. Up to
date neither has shown any marked
superiority over the other. Today the
reports from Red Top and from Gales
Ferry are to the effect that both
eights are in the best of physical con-
dition.
For fifty-seven years, with occa-
sional intervals, the crews of Yale and
Harvard have battled, the rival blue
and crimson having been borne during
all those years by four, six, and eight
cared crews. In the forty-two races
that have been rowed, since the initial
contest In 1852, four points now sep
arate the contesting universities. Yale
having won twenty-three races and
Harvard nineteen.
Early in the history Of the event it
was rowed over a two-mile course.
which was increased to three miles in
1855. Again the distance was increased
in 1875, this time to four miles, which
has been the length OF the varsity
races ever since. Yale holds the record
for that distance having covered the
course in 1883 in twenty minutes, ten
seconds. Last year the race was won
by Harvard in twenty-6our minutes,
ten seconds.

morning to find themselves riding on
the water wagon. The statewide pro-
hibition law passed by the legislature
last winter over the veto of Governor
Patterson becomes operative at mid
night tonight The law forbids the sale
of alcoholic drink within four miles of
a schoolhouse. and will have the effect
of closing the doors of virtually every
saloon in the state. All the cities will
become dry" among them Memphis

ton of being the largest city in the

500 saloons. Other large cities which
will be affected are Nashville. with 131

On that date the state law forbddng
the manufacture of intoxicants will

baton was given the brewers and dis
tillers to enable them to dispose of their

than million dollars in the revenues

Vile Wright made short flight, en-
circling the Fort Myer aerodome.
Lack Of power. due to loose spark

by the Wright brothers as the cause
for the refusal Of the machine to fly for
more than few hundred feet beyond
the end of the starting rail. Their per-
sistency in trying, time after time, to
make the machine behave properly
won the approval of the large crowd
that, had gathered in anticipation of a

was the way Wilbur put it afterward.
