HOW AND WHY YALE WENT DOWN
 IN VARSITY RACE

For the second consecutive time in twenty-eight years Harvard last even ing won the eight pared varsity race | from Yale on the Thames river by fully | six boat lengths. The time was 21m. | 50 seconds for the winner and p m. 10 sec. for Yale. Not since 1880 and | tive races from Eli. Since 1885 they have, however, won five varsity races, l 1891, 1899, 1906, 1908 and yesterdays | race. It is estimated that fully 10000 | both sides for the full length of the | course, which is four miles. The
 Thames bridge also shared it's full quota of humanity.
 Harvard's growing confidence in her beating system brought out twice the
 number of enthusiasts that usually follow the crimson, while Yale's deter
 imitation to win back lost prestige was backed by a record breaking Yale crowd. The race though won by a good margin, was nevertheless a pret- ty one to witness. Both crews were in
 fine fettle. All the way up the river precision, the better work being evil
 dent in the crimson crew. Their stroke could often be seen to- increase over that of Yale by two to sometimes three strokes per minute, which sent the shell the more forward.
 For two and one-half miles the New
 Haveners kept within a full boat length of their opponents. Towards
 
 human effort increased her stroke first by three, then four, and finally five and six strokes, which placed the shell well in the lead Yale spurted
 with her old time bull dog tenacity, but the race was lost. According to the official timers the race goes down as follows:
 Harvard-Half miles. 2:26; one mile, 5:1O; one and one-half miles, SOS;
 two miles. 10:46; two and one-Elalf miles, 13 20: three miles, 16:10; three and one-half miles, 1857; four miles, 21 50.

 The time of the race is not consider ed remarkable, being forty seconds slower than the record time for an up stream race. In 1907 Yale rowed up stream in 21 n. 10 sec, beating the Crimson by scant boat length. Yes terday the race was rowed up stream with the tide, the wind being light blowing across the stream, quartering slightly with the crews. Harvard'es

 the Train Crowd.

The boys of the Y M. c. A. are camping this year on Mount Tom Pond in Litchfeld County, near Bantam Lake. They went into camp Wednes- day noon and word has reached the city that they are all well and in good shape. Six of the boys, Futile, Bern hard Hawkins, Mosel, Pearson and Weldon started on the hike Tuesday morning at seven o'clock. They made thirty-five miles the first day, and reached camp before the fellows who went on the train Wednesday morn ing. The schedule called for those who took the Luxurious Pullman to arrive first, but the "tramps" beat them out.

TROLLEYMEN

Bill 10 Make Them Special Police
 Rejected.

The bill making all conductors and motormen on the trolley cars special policemen which was introduced in the General Assembly. was rejected at Hartford yesterday. It was advocated by those in favor of the bill that by making the conductors and motormen special police, much of the nuisance and disordsrly conduct on the trolley cars would in time be abated IS those in charge of the cars would have the power to make arrests of those causing disturbances and violating the laws
 It was also argued that the fact of it being known that the conductors and
 motormen were special policemen. would have much weight and the roIghs and toughs who have been mak. ing all sorts of trouble on the cars would tame down to a considerable ex-

The West Point Dismissals.

From the New York Times.
The haZing, some of it innocent and
merely prankish, that led up to the
brutal treatment of Cadet Sutton at
West Point has resulted in the expul-
sion of seven cadets with the approx
al of President Taft. acting upon the
report of Supt. Scott and the Sibley
board of inquiry Contrary to re-
cent distinguished precedent, Mr..
Taft and Secretary Dickinson will not
reinstate any of the dismissed men by
nappeal from the law to the diction-
airy. Neither the influence they can
WELD nor the manly appearance of
these young men who have been con-
victed of doing an unmanly thing-un-
manly because in disobedience of ord
ers-will save them.
The action of the new President
clearly shows that during his admins
tration the military ten command
ments will not bulge, and hazing will
continue hazing.

SWOLLEN FORTUNES.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

SWOLLEN FORTUNES.
The Grass extravaganza OF gilded
New York in all Of its sordidness is
revealed by the testimony in the Gould
divorce case.
For instance
Mrs. Gould admitted having spent
$2o4, 600 In II single year upon herself.
She told the court she could not pos
sibiy buy her gowns for less than
$4,000 per year.
Which somewhat gilds the lily Of ex-
travagance.
George Gould testified his father left
an estate of $SO.OOO.OOO: that the in
come from this estate for each Of the
Jay Gould heirs was $4,000 a week,
$4,000 a year or nearly 100000
yearly for the six children.
A SUM sufficient to keep the wolf a
good way from the door.
Now
Aside from the showing Of wasteful.
ness and stopper pulling dissipation
and social dirt. one of the lessons from
this divorce suit. which has drawn its
slow. salacious length through the
courts, is this one:
We need in this country an inhei-
itance and an income tax law.
Under a reasonable Inheritance tax
law the huge estate Of Jay Gould
would have yielded to the federal gov
ernment not less than $1O,OOO.O0O. In
some European states SO large for.
tune would have been taxed $50.
100000, or 25 per cent.
And the Gould estate is but one OF
several large American family for
tunes.
Also. on the basis Of per cent IN
come tax, reasonably low levy, the
government would receive from the
$5.OOO.OOO incomes an annual tax re
turn Of $25O.OOO.
Would such taxes work a hardship:
Evidently no. Mr.. Gould's test
mony is that. despite the large sums
spent on the Gould castle" and an
ultra extravagant wife. he was unable
to spend all his Income. He says he
saved from this income since hi
fathers death the tidy sum Of $1O.-
100000.
Castellane spent Annals share or as
much as he could get his hands on. and
Helen gives away much Of hers i,
charity.
A reasonable tax would be only a
drop in the bucket to these people.
Mrs. Gould airily told the court tina,

a month and her servants $4,000. 1.-THE

as any private citizen might. One of
the big tugs of the Southern Pacific
fleet will meet the Kaiser Wilhelm II

riman without demonstration to the
Erie railroad station. where, unless
his plans are changed. he will meet re-
porters and they can judge Of his con-
dition for themselves. The talk OF his

self knows. 1t may be for a week, a
month or longer. That must depend
upon his health. Mr.. Hartman is very
far from being a sick man. Our ad-
vices from him are that he is greatly
improved, and, with reasonable care,
there can be no doubt that he has
many years Of usefulness and activity
ahead of him. His going to Arden is
not because he is i'll. but because he
wishes to complete his cure.

for the future at Arden and having the
board meetings of the Union and

scheduled for Tuesday. held there. Mr.
Tegethoff said: They have managed

After Mr.. Hartman has completed
his period of rest at Arden it is the
expectation of his friends that he will
take up his activities again where he
left them off before going abroad
Whatever anybody may say OF Mr.
Hartman" said his secretary today
nobody who knows him ever accused
him Of being gutter. He is a man
who feels most deeply his moral obli

to retire from activities and devote the
