Cambridge, Mass. April l7.--WitA
a powerful and finished stroke, Har'
wards Varsity crew defeated a
weaker and less expert crew from Co
lumbia on the Charles river today by
six full lengths, in race Of a mile
and seyen-eighths.
After the first few dashing strokes
which followed the referees pistol
shot, there was never any question
regarding the outcome. AS If impell-
ed by powerful motor. the Harvard
shell swept proudly down the Charles
river basin. before twenty thousand
people on the river bank and shot
like an arrow across the finish line.
Behind them trailed the Columbia
shell with the oarsmen plunging into
the water in a vain effort even TO
keep up with the hyb2g crimson shell.
Despite the most perfect river con
dtons. the Columbia boat rolled like
Il knockout in heavy sea, and it was
with difficulty that COXswain Rock
wood kept the nose of his boat head
ing down the course. Harvard's vet-
eran 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
With The firing of the pistol the
crimson Shell was the first TO get
away Both crews hit up the stroke
above forty or more and for a hun
dred yards or more rowed side by
side Then Harvard began to draw
away. Columbia continued high
stroke for a couple Of minutes long
er, but presently dropped back to 80.
At the quarter mile Harvard was half
length to the good ar d at The hal,
mile there was open water between
the boats The Harvard boat gained
steadily, the crimson stroke deereas,
ing to 30, and at one time as low as
80. C0lumbia's coXswain lockwood
was continually shouting encourage
mcnt to his mo2, but with only par.
tia success
Under Harvard bridge dashed the
crimson crew. with 5,000 people
watching. Ten seconds later the Go.
lumbia shell swept under, the two
crews started down the last half milo
Of the course The water was now
rougher than in the upper reaches Uf
the river The motion had no effect
whatever upon the Harvard shell, bu
the unsteadiness of the blue AMI
white boat was the feature Of the
race from this point on.
Harvard again dropped her stroke
below thirty but when the mile ana
a half flags We're passed there were
five lengths of water between the
boats. Coming down to the finish,
Columbia was the first to spurt, bur
there was no gain on Harvard.
As the finish li,e was neared, Ser.
geant called upon his men for a last
effort. Up went the Harvard stroke,
while astern the Columbia shell wob-
bled uncertainty. Then the red flag
fell and Harvard had won. Nineteen
seconds later, the Columbia shell
rolled across the Ice like a spent run.

More than nine out of every ten
cases of rheumatism are simply rbeu-
matism of the muscles, due to cold
or damp weather or chronic rheuma-
tism. In such cases no internal treat
mept is required. The free applica-
ton of Chamberlain's Liniment is all
that is needed, and it is certain to
give quick relief. Give it trial and

lieves the pain and soreness. Price

had the most opposition, and this
resulted in his losing his own
counties overcame the lead of G..
A. Shallberg of Moline in Rock
Island county, and gave him margin
of about 600 in the district The sue
cess of Judge Gest was due to three
things-the efforts of some of the lead
ing members of the bar, not only in
this county, but in the others and
without regard to political lines
the feeling that Moline already has
more than its share. which worked
against G. A. Shallberg here and the
multiplicity of candidates in Rock Is

Ramsay Leads Field.
Judge Ramsay, the only one of the
other present judges to have any OPP
position, apparently was made strong
er by reason of that opposition, and he
polled the high vote in the district,
although leading Judge Graves by only
500. The. success of Judge Ramsay is
particularly significant rebuke of
some of the campaign methods en-

WATCHMAN Is
SHOTGUN TARGET
CASTLE DeSmyter Is Victim Of
Unknown Assailant at Plow

GETS BULLETS IN ARM
Hears Noise, and Leans Forward,
Thereby Keeping Out of Range
of Big Part of Charge.

A mysterious attack was made on
CASTLE De Smyter, Que of the night
watchmen at the Rock Island Plow
company's factory, shortly after ~
O'Clock last night, and the Waterman
barely escaped being killed. The
watchman's assailant fired at him with
a shotgun at close range, and over 40
of the little bullets lodged in De Smy-
ter's left arm. The rest of the charge
was irnbedded in wall.
De Smyter had just reported at a
patrol box in the pattern room of the
foundry building. and had started
down the stairway. AS he stepped on
the stairway he heard a noise below
him, and leaned forward, and threw
his left arm out somewhat. This move
was ali that saved the Waterman from
receiving the full charge of the Shot
gun in the chest and stomach, and
only part of the charge took effect
in his arm.
Intended to Kill.
There is no doubt that the man with
the shotgun intended to kill De Smy-
ter. He left his tracks plainly, and
evidently he had been lying In wait
for the Waterman for some time, for
he had tramped down quite little
circle near the wall. When he heard
the Waterman coming he stepped back
a step or two. and raising the weapon
when he thought the Waterman had
about emerged from the little cover
ing of the stairs, he discharged the
weapon and fed.
Alarms Companions.
/ The sound of the explosion alarm
ed two other watchmen at the shops,
and they rushed to the pattern room.
and finding that DeSmyter was
wounded summoned the police.
They heard the man with the shot
gun running down the railway
tracks, but could not overtake him.
The wounded man was removed
to st. Anthony's hospital, and sur
geon was called to attend him and re-
move the little bullets from his flesh.
lie will recover.
The police have no clew as to the
identity of the man who committed
the assault and DeSmyter claims that
he has no knowledge of the mans
motives nor identity.
