PRESIDENT WARNS
REPUBLICAN PARTY
says Ii viii BE Necessary TO Live Up
10 Promises and Give the Peo-
. pie What They Expect.

New Haven, Conn. July 1.-Presi-
dent TAFT paused in his after dinner
speech at the Yale commencement
yesterday to give warning to the Re
publican party and TO Congress. In
the course of his remarks he said:
Il remember that in 1904 Charles
Francis Adams gave what ! may cali
a perfectly good reason for the cleo
tion OF a Democrat. He said that
one of the essentials of a successful
free government was an able, pa
triotic and efficient opposition ani
that as the Democratic party had fall
ed in that respect he was in favor OF
putting the Republican party in Its
place.
Now | venture to say that while
that may not be the reason which
shall move the American peoDle, it Is
true that IL the Republican party
does not live up to its promises and
what the people expect of ii, 1t will
be relegated to a position like that
of his majesty's opposition, and
therefore / may say we have trou-
bles of our own"

ANCIENT FINANCIAL
DEALING THE CAUSE
indictments Are Returned as Re-

In Which Reflner Forced

tie.

New York, July 1.-The American
sugar Refining company, six of the
directors and two other individuals
were indicted by the federal grand
jury today on the charge of conspir-
dcy in restraint of trade. The in
dividuals arrested are w. b. Thomas,
president: Arthur Dojer, Charles
Sneff. John f. Parsons. John MAYER
and George Frazier. all directors. An
indictment was also found against
Gustav Kissel and T. b. Harnett,
counsel for Adolph Sega. There are
fourteen counts in the indictment.
The history of the case began in
1856 when Segal. of Philadelphia. sold
to the American Sugar Refining COM
pany a refinery he built and operated
at Camden, n. j. Later Segal ac-
quired the old Pennsylvania Refining
company, and prepared to operate il.
Needing money he obtained a loan
through Gustav Kissei, Wall street
broker for $1,125,000.f which 1t after
ward developed camep1fom the treas
ury of the American Sugar company.
Segal deposited the majority of the
shares of his company to secure this
loan
The voting power went with ths
security and developed new control
ling interest with a new board, which
voted to close the refinery.
Segal also 9errowed f'onG a real es-
tate and trust company. giving other
shares of his company, which because
the plant WAS idle were worthless.
The trust company went bankrupt
and the president, Nipple, Killed HIM
self
Suit was then brought by Segal for
$50 100000 for damage to his plant.
Settlement was effected by canceling
his note. returning the shares and a
payment of $2,OOO,OOO for the loss
of business.
1t is this victory over the Ameri-
can company which opened the way
for the new suit.

THE HARVARD CREWS
DEFEATED YALE men
Two Events This Morning Were De-
cided Victories for Wearers of
the Crimson.

New London, Conn, July 1.-The
tive Harvard crews, the varsity four
and the freshmen eight, won this
mornings races from Yale on the
Thames river. In both races the
winners showed decided superiority.
The official time was: Harvard,
13:l4; Yale 1924
According to the program, the
varsity eight, which is the big race
OF the regatta, will take place at 6
O'Clock and If weather conditions are
not favorable it will be postponed
until 1880 tomorrow morning. The
weather at noon, however was salts
factory and no unfavOrable condi-
tions We're expected.
Revenue cutters of the navy are
here and will patrol the course to
prevent any Interference with the
crews. The observation trains pro-
vided by the railroads began TO fill
up early this morning, and it is GER
tain that a vast number of people
will witness the contest. william II.
Meikleham of New York, a Columbia
graduate, will referee the regatta.
While adherents of both universi-
ties are in jubilant spirits and are
wagering much money on the sue
cess of their crews, the experts admit
that it il difficult to predict the re-
suit Of the varsity race. Most Of
them. however, give Harvard the
shade. Yale seems confident OF com
ing into her own again this year. She
has a lot of unusually promising
material and the Yale spirit is not in
the least daunted by defeat,
Harvard has at least as much con-
hdence as has Yale, and even by the
use Of the differential calculus, the
mathematicians from Cambridge are
unable to figure that the sons of Eli
have a lOok-in.
