CONFESSION OF CLERK CAUSES
 ARREST 0F IT

Detroit, Aug. 10.-Thas the confes- .sion of one of the arrested city of Ehcials, E. R. Schreiter, council clerk. caused the arrest of seventeen alder men charged with conspiracy to acc cept bribes from the Wabash Rail- road was not denied by the prosecu- tors office today. Eight of the sev- enteen were among the ten officials, including Schreiter, who were arrest ed two weeks ago charged with tac- cepting bribes."
 1t is believed that 1t Is cnly through sE71ch a confession that the arrests could have been made. Schreiter has been connected with the city hall for upwards of fifteen years and it Is said that his confession involves the al- dermen arrested in more than one deal. Prosecutor Schroeder today re- fused to admit that Schrelter had confessed but the fact that no war rant was issued for him on the sec- ond charge leads many to believe that If the council clerk is convicted the
 prosecutor will appeal to the court in ! his behalf.

Whitman caused 1t to be announced that he vtll bring pressureS to bear on the two men he believes concerned in Keeping them where they cannot be arrested. With the pair under arrest, Whitman believes he could get sever

SO that crimson victory this year
would tie the long series.
Tie fastest time ever made on the
Thames was by the Yale crew o. 1888,
which covered the four miles in 20
minutes, and 10 seconds. The fastest
Harvard crew was that of 1878 which
rowed the four miles in 20 minutes
and AK seconds. The slowest time
by winning crew was that of Har-
ward in 1885. which padded over the
course against a head wind in Is min
rtes an 151k seconds. The slowest
time by losing crew was when the
Yale stroke collapsed for years ago
but recovered in time to help the
shell over the line in.27 minutes and

was estimated. that the difference be-
tween the two was u boat lengths,
the longest lead ever attained by a

streak became so pronounced from
1900 to 1906, the Crimson failed to

it has been nothing but Harvard on

In connection with the varsity race,
the Freshman crews of the two uni

Since that first struggle in the heavy
working boats, so that the regatta this
year is the forty-sixth meeting of the
two Oldest American universities in
what many of the graduates regard
as the American sporting classic.

The racing began with the two
mile contests but the course was
gradually heightened, and since 1876
it has been four miles. There have
been several attempts to bring it
back to three miles, especially after
hard contests when some of the young
oarsmen have collapse under the
strain, but so far the effort has met
with little encouragement
