Cardinal Team Leaves California Crew
Adrift Midway in Course-oVer-

by Judges Boat
[By Associated Press. ]

OAKLAND, April 17.-Stanford won
the third annual eight Dared race over
the three-mile course in the Alameda
estuary today. The California eight
was swamped midway in the course
when Stanford was ten lengths in the
lead and rowing easily, the stroke
being about "a to the minute.
Stanford finished alone, stroking 81.
The channel was choppy and
strong wind prevented better time.
Misfortune followed the University
of California's eight-oared boat in the
third annual race with the Stanford
crew on the Alameda estuary today,
and the cardinals finished alone, leav-
ing their opponents swamped midway
in the three-mile course. The race was
a disappointment to thousands of spec
tators who lined the Alameda mole,
and particularly to the Berkeley root
ers, who turned out in full force to
witness the double event of the morn
ing.
California was first under way and
led by quarter Of length for some
distance. Stanford, rowing the faster
stroke, made up the slight lead and
then proceeded to open up gap that
steadily increased while the shells re-
manned in comparatively smooth water.
Just after completing the first mile
Stanford held lead of over four
lengths and the bronzed rowers bent
to a quickened stroke as they entered
the mile and half straightaway chan
mel that led to the open bay and the
finish boat. Stanford made the bend
with little difficulty, but Berkeley be-
gan shipping water before reaching the
shelter afforded by a lee shore. Just
when it seemed as If the Californians
would weather the storm they wire
caught in the splash of Stanford's
wake and swamped. The members of
the crew were picked up by the judges
launch, and Stanford, rowing stroke
that was eased up from "a to 30 per
minute. finished with the cheers of the
cardinal contingent.
No official time was taken, but 1t
was estimated that the time of the vic
torious eight was by no means spec
tacular, owing to three quarter head
wind and a short, choppy course en-
countered after reaching the turn.

HARVARD WINS
FROM COLUMBIA
CRIMSON VARSITY CREW IS
SIX LENGTHS WINNER

VICTORY IN LONG PULL

Veterans of Last Season
Sweep Past Finish
[nx Associated press.1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 17.--With
a powerful and finished stroke the
Harvard varsity crew defeated
weaker and less expert crew from Co
lumbia on the Charles river today by
six full lengths in race or mile
and -eighths.
After tho first few strokes there was
never any Question regarding the out
come. AS IL impelled by powerful
motor the Harvard crew swept proud
ly down the Charles river basin, before
5000 people on the river bank, and
shot like an arrow across the finish
line.
Behind them trailed the Columbia
shell with the oarsmen plunging their
blue and white blades into the water
in vain effort even to keep up with
the flying crimson shell.
Despite the almost perfect river
conditions the Columbian boat rolled
like a knockabout in heavy sea, and
1t was with difficulty that Coxswain
lockwood kept the nose of his boat
heading down the course.
Harvard's veteran crew showed all
the dash and force which wore out
Yale at New London last year, while
the exhibition of Columbia. even to
Coach Rice, was disappointing.
The start came almost exactly at p.
m. With the firing of the pistol the
Shell WdS lL0 lilSb " BOT away
Both crews hit up the stroke above
40, and for a hundred yards more
rowed side by side. Then Harvard be-
gan to draw away. Columbia continued
the high strooke for a couple minutes
longer, but presently Capt Cerussi
dropped back to SO. At the quarter
mile Harvard was half length to the
good, and at the half mile flag there
was open water between the boats.
The Harvard boat gained steadily the
Crimson stroke decreasing to 80, and at
one time as low as 28.
Under Harvard bridge dashed the
Crimson crew with 5000 people watch
ing. Ten seconds later the Columbia
she'll swept underneath and the two
crews started down the last mile of the
course. The water was now rougher
than in the upper reaches of the river.
The motion had no effect whatever on
the Harvard shell, but the unsteadiness
of the blue and white boat was the
feature of the race from this point on.
Stroke Sargent of the Harvard crew
again dropped the stroke below 80, but
when the mile and half flag was
reached there were Ave lengths Of water
between the boats.
Coming down to the finish, Columbia
was the first to squirt but there was no
gain on Harvard. AS the finish line
was neared Sargent called upon his
men for the last effort.
Up went Harvard stroke, while astern
the Columbia shell wobbled uncertainty.
The red flag fell and Harvard had won

Williamstown, KY, Jan. IL. One
man was killed, two fatally wounded
and six other men were seriously in
jured as the result of a fight that
started at a dance Saturday night and
continued through yesterday morning.
which was terminated by Sheriff Car
ter and a posse arresting the alleged
%ringleaders in the killing. just as a
mob was being formed to avenge the
death of Ethel Ransom, who was beat
en- to death after he had received sew
eral wounds.
The dance was held at the home OF
Wesley Barns, and during the festivi-
ties Ethel Ransom and William
Thompson are said to have begun
shooting after an alteration. Thomas
Turner interfered and was shot and
beaten.
The men then came into town. and
while George Lantern, who was
wounded, was in DIR. O'Hara's office,
Ethel Ransom assisted in dressing his
wounds. After leaving the Office the
Lantern crowd attacked the Ransoms,
Ethel Ransom was the first to fall.
Not satisfied. his enemies, as he cried
for mercy, beat his brains out with
blocks Of cement.
The Lanterns, finding that their op'
ponents were gaining in numbers, took
to flight. The sheriff and his posse
surrounded the Lanterns home and
they, on learning that they would be
protected. surrendered.
AS the sheriff departed by one road
for Covington with his prisoners a
mob was being formed. The second
fight, which was a battle, was not a
sequel Of the dance row, but was the
o%utgrowth of a feud.

An earthquake shock caused consider

seconds. The trembler took the form
of a Migratory %convulsion, swaying

Reports from adjoining localities

force of the shock extended ver an
area of at least fifty miles square,
and in several districts two distinct
shocks, separated by more than a min
ute, were felt.
In many places in this city where
water pipes had been frozen the earth
quake broke the mains and flooded
the houses. For a time it was fear

have to be shut of. Onicers at Fort

State Bar Committee Finds
Judge Root of Seattle Guilty
Of Gross Improperly.
Want GRAND JURY TO PROBE
DiCkered With Great NOrther0 Over
Money Matters aad Accepted
Transportation.

Seattle. Wash, Jan. 12.-The state
a association committee appointed
to investigate the conduct OF Judge
Milo A. Root, who resigned as a Judge
OF the supreme court two months ago.
made its report Saturday. Judge Root
was recently elected for another term
OF six years. His resignation affected
only the term to which he was elected
two years ago. II he fails to qualify
Monday. Jan. IL. the Office will be de-
clared vacant.
The committee finds that JUDGE
Root has been guilty of gross impro,
priety, which units him for the su.
preme bench.
Findings Are Sensational.
The report makes these conclusions
and recommendations:
That Judge Root had correspond
enc with NJ. J. Gordon, attorney for
the Great Northern Railroad company,
concerning money transactions.
That Judge Root accepted from the
Great Northern and other railroads
free transportation.
Ihat Judge Root fle as the Opln-
ion of the supreme court an almost
verbatim draft of an opinion dictated
by NJ. J. Gordon, attorney Tor the
Great Northern, in the a of Harris
against the railroad company.
Some Points in Doubt.
The committee is unable t. obtain
any facts to substantiate the rumors
of the giving out of advance informa-
ton concerning the decisions of the
supreme court.
The committee is unable to obtain
any facts to substantiate rumors of
bribery and corruption.
The committee holds hat the con
duct of Judge Root in receiving free
transportation is highly censurable
and requests the judges Of the supe-
rior court Of Spokane county to call a
grand jury to investigate fully the
ru1aors of corruption.
Decide Course In Future.
Believing that its suggestion will be
acted upon, the committee feels that
it is only fair to withhold any other
| recommendations.
Whether such inquisition be held or
not, tie SUPREME court and the state
bar association will then confer to
| reach a basis for further action or
proceeding.
