THE YACHT RACES
SUNDAY MORNING

The regatta committee and several
yacht owners held a meeting yester-
day afternoon at which rules for the
sail next Sunday were discussed and
acted upon. The rule in regard to the
turn at Koko Head was changed a lit
tie and now reads "All yachts must
round the Koko Head buoy, leaving it
to port
1t was decided to hold a special
meeting of yacht owners on the mat
ter of handicaps and the rule to gov
ern the same. The old rules are re-
garded as being unfair Yacht owners
are requested to make a point of at
tending these meetings.
The race leXt Sunday will start at
9 o'ciock he morning from outside
the ent@" to the harbor. There
will be seven boats in, including the
Hawaii.
Japanese sampans will act as stake
boats, one to be stationed at the turn
off Koko Head and the other at Pearl
Harbor.
Mr.. Jaeger has allowed the use of
his launch as a judges boat during

WHAT JEFFRIES
THINKS Of FIGHT

CHICAGO May 1O.-Retired heavy
weight champion of the world James
j. Jeffries today threatened to whip
acting heavyweight champion Jack
johnson on sight. Jeffries was not at
all peeved when he got in today from
the East. He was in fine fettle when
a reporter asked:
will you receive Jack Johnson and
talk fight with him?"
IF that fellow comes to see me he
will get a cleaning for which he might
get lot of money later on mutter-
ed the former king OF battlers. 81
don't want to see him. have said 1
will fight him and that goes; but
won't even talk to him until 1 have
finished my theatrical contract in
July"
"Will you sign up then?' was the
next question.
YES" said Jim.
''But will you demand an additional
six months in which to prepare for
the bout?"
We'll, don't think so. I'm not
prepared to say as to that. But l
have said l will fight him, and that
goes as it lies"

YACHTS MUST Be
AMERICAN BUILT

So American yachtsmen are to be
driven, like owners of commercial
shipping, to foreign flags if they wish
to own vessels built outside the Unit
ed States. The restriction provided in
the Senate by the Payne Bill is not
quite so severe as the prohibition
which operates against merchant YES
sells, for it only establishes duty of
80 per cent. ad valorem on foreign
built yachts if they wish TO fly the
American flag. AS the average yacht
owner will not be able to find com
mensurate advantages, he will merely
continue his yacht ownership under
the foreign flag Of her build and the
only result of the measure, if finally
adopted will be to operate against
the importation of small boats.-Exc

DOUBLES
ARE POSTPONED

1t has been found necessary to post
pone the doubles in the Beretania Ten
mis- clubs contest, on account of con-
flicting events of the next few days.
Several of the players have found that
they cannot respond at the times set
in the shape they would like, and pre-
fer that the contests be set over. In
difference to their wishes the matches
go over indefinitely.
A street report that the tournament
was postponed on account of lack of
interest is hardly stating the case
squarely. That there is lack of in
terest" is perhaps true; but that lack
of interest" is due altogether to the
conflicting engagements and arrange
ments of players above referred to.
The tournament will be pulled off at
a more opportune season with great
err vim than had at first been plan
ned.

[. [. GARTER TAXES HIS LIFE WITH ACID Former Nashville Man Found
 Dying In Room LEFT SEVERAL NOTES Had Been Joking With Friends Few Minutes Prior to Committing the Act-Wanted Friend in Nash
 vile Notified.

c. c. Carter, formerly of Nashville, committed suicide at g o'clock last night at his room, 412 North Twenty-second street. by drinking carbolic acid. MT. Carter engaged the room today for week. He came in about S:S0 o'clock last evening and seemed in the best of spirits. Hearing struggling a few minutes later the landlady, Mrs. Lokey, went to the room and found Carter dying. Dr. w. R. Ward reached the mans side just as life became extinct.
 Mir. Carter and his wife were out of the room for a while last night and when Carter came in alone he talked to the landlady and told jokes for few min utes before going on up to his room. When Mrs. Lokey found him he was lying on the bed with his head nearly touching the floor. A neighbor, R. E. Middleton. was called and he picked the dead man up and placed him on the bed. On the stand near the bed was an empty bottle labeled carbolic acid and several scrubbed notes.
 It is thought that the man took the acid and then tried to write the notes to his wife. for they looked as if they were written with great trouble, and the last one was almost illegible. An envelope had been torn up and on the scraps of paper was written: "I have no friends, no home, no money. Wire J. D. Brown" '.By-by, dearest" "By-by, dearest. I am gone" Pet, I am gone Goodby Car ter"
 A small packet of letter. was found on the outside of which was written in the same weak hand, "Send this to mama" The packet contained several letters from his mother and several from a man named J. D. Brown, Nashville, with whom 1t appeared from the letters that Carter had entered into a partner ship in a deal on some property in Nash vile. There was a receipt from Brown made out to Carter for s40o. Carters mother signed her name Mrs Allies Ramey. Fort Royal. Va.
 MT. Carter has been in Birmingham for several weeks. He was arrested about three weeks ago for violation of the pro- hibition law and placed in the county Jail here. It is claimed that he tried to escape from the jail during his imprison- ment. Some friends bailed him out of Jail three weeks ago. and nothing had been heard from him by the authorities until last night, when word reached the sheriff's office of his suicide.
