HARVARD AFTER CORNELL SCALP
Sweep swinEers Are Bending to
Their Work at Cam bridge.

BOSTON, Mass Nag i5.-With the mem
cries of the six-lenSth victory over Column
has eight In the recent two-mile race on
the Charles river, Harvard's sweep swing
ers are bending to their work, hoping to
overthrow Cornell's varsity in a like man
ner. The defeat OF the light blue and white
showed Harvard undergraduates that they
have'a boat every whit as powerful as the
one that trounced Yale so severely on the
Thames last summer The work in the
Columbia race demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the crimson watermen are steel
nerved veterans and powerful athletes.
The false start did not unnerve the Harvard
craft, and when the nervous Morningsiders
padded back to the starting line the Cam
bridge men awaited the pistol shot with
supreme indifference.
But it will be a different proposition on
May 81. when Coach Wray's men Journey
up to Ithaca for a two-mile race on Lake
Cayuga with Cornell. Coach Courtney is
issuing the usual fine line of bear
stories from the Cornell camp, but Har-
ward is not to be caught mapping and will
enter the contest keyed to the highest
pitch. Last year the crimson watermen
ran away from the Ithacans in a two-mile
race on the Charles, and Coach Wray is
extremely anxious to repeat. AS for
Courtney, he is laying low, doing out tales
of hard luck, yet withal determined to
score a victory over the crimson eight
with his red and white.
Harvard is preparing for the race In
earnest. After having rested the week fol-
lowing the Columbia contest, the oarsmen
resumed practice and hard and prolonged
work has characterized every drill. The
varsity is rowing with the same smooth
recovery and powerful leg drive that was
shown in the Columbia race and is rarddIy
rounding into excellent form. This year
the crew appears to be rowing with a
shorter and snapper stroke than il did in
1903. Ii Is a question whether II is safe "a
follow this apparent policy of developing
a two-mile stroke for preliminary contests
when the Yale race, the big event Of the
season, is four miles. Wray is confident,
however, that he has a versatile boat and
that no evil results will occur from pre-
pairing his men so particularly for the early
season short-distanc rows. In any event
it will be a powerful crew that will face
the Comedians on May q and the race bids
fair to go down in college athletic annals
as ones OF the best that has been contested
between the two universities.

Creighton Law
School Glass
is Graduated
Seven Young Men Admitted to the
Bar as the University Class
of 1909.

After a delightful banquet at the Rome
at which about sixty lawyers and other
men of prominence were present, the 1863
class of the law department of the
Creighton university were given diplomas
and entered upon the practice of that pro-
fession. At the close of the feast President

offered a prayer and conferred the de-
grees. Chief Justice Reese of Nebraska
administrated the oath.
Amos e. Henely, OF the graduating class
delivered the valedictory, taking for his
subject, THE Lawyer" His talk was full
of spirit and showed very impressingly the
appreciation felt by his classmates of the
responsibility of the profession and of
work done by the faculty members in pre-
pairing them for that work. Mr.. Henely
was the honor man of the class and was
given l.. l.. b.. cum laude.
Hon Horace f. Deemer, of the supreme
court of the State of Iowa, delivered the
principal address of the evening, choosing
for his subject THE Social Cosmos He
showed very clearly the advances con-
stantly being made in the workings of the
laws and lawyers. He set forth in a very
forcible manner the responsibility the
young men of the graduating class are TAX
ing and the duties they will be called upon
to perform. He closed his talk by welcom-
ing them into the profession.

entertainment of a sensational and spec

1T like Omaha and the electrical show.

Everybody Liked 1t.
And everybody else liked the big show.
In fact. a certain quartet of small but
highly curious boys liked 1t so much that
they broke into the basement of the Audi
forum a day or so before the last day
and held a regular revel of investigation
until they were caught In the act of getting
too familiar with some of the appliances.
So. with due credit going to the many
boosters. large and small, everyone con-

its outcome for itself and the city and
willing to go into the project during coming
years, the gigantic event came TO a close

footing of electric horns, the ringing OF
bells and the applause of thousands OF

A story comes from Lexington
Nat several independent tobacco
arms, who purchased some of the
Burley Society pool last fall, had
shrown many hogsheads of their
purchase back on the hands of the
society, By taking advantage of a
clause in the contract in reference
10 the delivery of the tobacco, it is
alleged that MANY Independent firms
may repudiate their contracts, For
this case, it is said, much delay has
occurred in the payment of money
due the growers in the pool. This
contingency has also had its effec
on the proposed pool for the l90'
crop.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 22.-Wil
! lie Whitla, who has caused the police
of the entire country endless worry
since he was kidnapped from school
at Sharon last Thursday, was return
ed to his father at Hollenden Hotel
here tonight at $50 in compliance
with the agreement en'eCd into be-
tween the kidnapped boys father and
an agent of the kidnapers here to-
day. The boy was placed on a street
car on the outskirts of the city and
started to the hotel shortly after 8
O'Clock. Two boys recognized the
lad on the car, and, taking him in
charge, conducted him to his father,
who was waiting according to pre-
arranged plan which he had follow
ed at the dictation of the kidnapers.
The boy wandered about the hotel
lobby urannounced for several min
utes, asking the bell boys for his
father. before the latter knew his
son was in the big foyer. The mo-
ment that the. anxious parent hear d
that a strange boy was in the hotel
sauntering around in aimless fash
ion, he rushed across the lobby,
grasped him in his arms and smoth-
cred his face with kisses. An at
tempt had been made to disguise
the lad. He wore a paired Of smok-
ed glasses and a large tan cap, which
was pulled down over his ears, and
the father said it would have been
difficult to have recognized the boy
in such garb had he met him on the
street. Willie is in perfect health.
He says he has been we'll treated,
and ever since his capture has been
constantly indoors. He believes he
was taken from Sharon to Warren,
thence to New Castle. 1t is his opin.
ion, expressed in happy schoolboy
way, that he was in Ashtabula Sat
urday night at the time his father
was to leave his $4,000 in Flat Iron
Park. Mr.. Whitla admitted that he
had paid $4,000 to a woman in a
candy store. He believes the wom-
an was an Italian but refuses to dis
close her identity.
