On account of the thick weather
prevailing along the Atlantic coas;
Yesterday the Standardization trials

ured mile course off Lewes. Del.
yesterday as scheduled. This was
the information contained in a tele
gram received by the Daily Press last
night from General Manager Walter
A. Post. of the shipyard, who is on
board the Terry.
In order to judge, the exact speed
being made by ship on her stand
ardization runs, it is necessary for the
members of the tial board to be able
to see clearly the buoys marking the
measured mile course. AS this test
is held to determine the number Of
revolutions the wheels Of a vesse
must make to drive the ship at the
contract rate of speed tie naval Off
GERS take no chances of making er
Tors because of any haze over the
course.
In all probability the Terry viii
have the Standardization run today

hap. the ship will begin the two en-
durance runs of twelve hours each
tomorrow and will run the final -four
hours forced draft speed test Satur

ASK FOR ABOLITION
OF STATE QUARANTINE
Committee Of Chamber OF
Commerce Preparing Peti-
ton to Governor.

Acting under directions Of the
board of directors. the Cham
Der of Commerce committee on
port charges and usages will today
begin the preparation Of petition to
Governor william Hodges Mann ask
ing for the abolition of the state
quarantine at this port. The petition
will be drawn by Attorney X. NJ. Leu
and will be acted upon by the com
mittee tomorrow.
When the quarantine matter was
being agitated early In the summer
the Chamber OF Commerce asked the
governor to abolish the state quaran-
tine here entirely. but, after nves
tigating conditions here and at Nor
folk. the governor merely amended the
state regulations governing this por'
so as to place Newport News upon the
same footing as the port OF Norfoik
Local shipping men and some o.
the members of the chamber beiieVt
that the time is ripe to again urge
the governor to abolish the State IN
spection OF incoming steamers. Inc
committee probably will call the gov
errors attention TO the fact that the
federal quarantine authorities at oic
Point maintained a closed qlaran
tine for Hampton Roads por''
throughout the summer moh'n'
and during the prevalence of con
tagious diseases in the Tropics ah'
that all vessels coming from forelg'
norts and all vessels having sickness
aboard are required to stop at th'

RAIL RATES ARE LOWERED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Takes Action In Cases Affect
ing the Entire Country.

Washington.-Red in class
and commodities on all shipments
west from Chicago to the Pacific
coast were ordered Wednesday by the
interstate commerce commission.
The commission decided that the cap
ital invested in railroad property and
betterments did not justify the adj
vance in rates to the point marked in
the new schedules filed by the rail-
roads.
The decisions are in what are
known popularity as the Pacific coast
cases. These cases were heard last
autumn by the commission on it's six
weeks trip to the Pacific coast and
intermountain territory and had been
under consideration ever since then.
In every instance reductions in the
existing rates were made.

CLEAN SWEEP FOR HARVARD
Crews Defeat Yale Boats in Three
Shell Races on Thames
River.

New London.-Harvard's day OF vic
tory on the Thames Thursday culmi-
mated with success in the varsity
eight.
With her stroke oar all but col
lapsed, Yale crossed the line at the
New London bridge four lengths be-
hind the Cambridge crew.
For three and a half miles the shells
sped down the river almost abreast,
first one and then another forging
slightly ahead. Harvard was nearly a
length ahead at the two-mile point
and her bow showed in front for the
greater part of the way, but time and
again a gallant squirt brought the New
Haven shell on even terms. Not until
the boats entered the final quarter
mile stretch did the Crimson look like
a winner.
Harvard's victories were the most
decisive that ever marked the open
ing of her annual rowing regatta with
Yale The Crimson freshman eight
Dared crew beat the youngsters from
New Haven by three lengths, and the
Harvard varsity four bettered this
performance a little later by rowing
away from Yale in the last eighth
mile of surprising race and finish
ing four lengths in the lead.

RAILROADS GAIN A VICTORY
Commerce Commission Grant PERMITS
sion to Advance Grain Rates East
of Buffalo.

Washington.-Ann was
made by the interstate commerce com
mission Thursday that it will not sus-
pend official classification So, involving
more than 5000 items, which was filed
to become effective July 1. This is
regarded as a victory for the rail
roads.
Permission was granted by the com
mission to railroads operating out of
Buffalo to advance rates on -four and
other wheat products one cent hun
dred pounds to eastern destinations.
For nearly month the commission
has been overwhelmed with protests
against the proposed new classified
ton, many shippers seemed to believe
that the Encouragement of freight clas-
sificatication would result in largely
increased rates. The subject was con-
sidered carefully by the commission,
a thorough and comprehensive check
being prepared on the entire classid-
cation. In the items and ratings in
volved there are only fifty-eight
changes, of which twenty-eight are re-
duc.ions and thirty advances, the lat
ter including twelve increases in car
load weights.
