BOTH BOATS WERE HELPLESS
Captain, for varIety's Sake, Tells
Story Of Men Who Were Not
Rescued at Sea.

IL suppose you've heard plenty OF
stories about men being rescued at
sea-" remarked the captain OF a steam
err on a line plying out of New York.
.''and for that reason I'm going 10 tell
you a story, for yariety's sake. about
some men not being rescued at sea
IL was one OF the worst experiences
I ever had since I've been a sailor.
1T was in the middle Of a terrible
hurricane. and the boat | was on was
just barely manageable. All We could
do was to keep steering way on her
and trust 90 weather the storm.
well, at the very worst of IL, when
the wind was bowling like mad and
the waves were almost burying us.
we heard a yell from out somewhere
on the sea. The next moment we
caught sight of a sailing vessel not
more than a few hundred yards away,
evidently in distress.
Soon we were so close TO her that
we could see she had lost n OF her
masts and was absolutely at the
mercy OF the storm. We could plain
ly see her sailors clinging 10 the rig
glng or hanging on TO whatever hadn't
been washed off her decks. What was
worse, we could plainly hear them
shouting 10 us for help.
"But-there was nothing whatever
we could do. You are not a sailor,
and perhaps you can't understand
what I'm telling you. when say that
We simply had to stand there on our
boat, listening to those men in their
agony, yet We couldn't &C much as
throw them a rope.
Why? Because our boat was bare
ly manageable itself, as I told you.
We we're fighting the storm just as
hard as we could. II we had stopped
we would have lost steering way and
run the risk OF being swamped. Also,
we stood an excellent chance OF be
ing rammed against that disabled boat
and sending ourselves and it to the
bottom. As TO throwing them a rope
first. we couldn't throw II far
enough for them to reach IL. and sec
ond. there was the probability of the
ropes getting tangled In our propel
Ter and spelling our chances OF es
cape.
There was nothing-nothing what
ever-for us to do And, | tell you
it vas a terrible thing to scoot past
those poor devils hanging on TO that
hulk and hear their cries growing
fainter and fainter In the distance
I've never forgotten the sound q
them"

Princeton to Go Slow in Rowing.

EEiVCOAOU W W ~ ~
w. w. Roper, who is the graduate
director OF athletics at Princeton, Is
authority for a statement that the
Tigers will not take part In any Of the
outside rowing regattas during the
present year.
Ever since Princeton made such n
favorable impression in the triangular
regatta with Cornell and Yale the peo
pie who were anxious TO have a Tiger
crew compete at Poughkeepsie or at
New London have been boosting to-
ward this end. Mr.. Roper's announce
ment, however, will end all this talk.
Princeton Will hold a regatta on Car
negie lake again next year. Negotia-
lions are now progressing for a TRAN
gular meeting with Harvard and Penn
sylvania.
II Is also practically certain that the
Tigers will enter n crew I'm the Amer.

Woman and Jus,ie. 70 Man.

In the past. because of what we
commonly call ~chivalry, men have
been at a disadvantage In many emer,
gencies.
II sometimes happens, for example,
that a man, in spite OF his nobler de-
sires, Is compelled TO go to law with
a woman. She commits trespass or
fails TO pay a debt, and there is no
remedy but a suit in court. How does
II stand with the unhappy man who
brings the action? All his follows dc
nounce him as a brute. The lawyers
make him the butt CT their antedi-
luvian jokes and the Jury give n yer.
dict against him withouN leaving their
seats. VIII II be so now that women
can vote? There will soon be female
lawyers. judges and jurors. VIII a
pima fare quite as well with n dozen
OF her fair sisters 10 pass upon her
rights and wrongs as she does now?
Perhaps she will have n more difficult
road to walk. but there will be com
pensations. Men will stand a far bet
ter chance OF obtaining Justice where
women are concerned than they do mt
present. Tears and sobs are far more
persuasive with a jury of males than
they are likely to be with women

SETTLEMENT HAWKS
IN WIN OVER THE "Y"

The West End Settlement Hawks
last night defeated the Y. NJ. c. A.
team by a score of 35 to 26. The
game was fast and close throughout.
The result of the game was in doubt
until the very last minutes Of play,
and at no time did the Hawks have
a lead big enough to warrant their
easing up on the game.
A great deal of credit for the ex-
cellent showing made this season by
the Hawks is due to Will Robb, the
coach of the Settlement team. who
has worked hard and faithfully TO
turn out a winner. The lineup was
as follows:
Hawks-Nuessili and A. Swanson,
forwards; W. Barker, center; p.
Swanson. Alderman and E. Swanson,
guards.
Y. NJ. c. A.-Young and Dean, for
wards; Nichols, center; Bleuer and

was about 80 D. IN. Miss Schumach-
er boarded the car al Seventeenth
street, Rock Island, with the object of
arriving at her home in Davenport,
which is in the Linden fats, at 10 p. m.
The car was practically deserted
Miss Schumacher observed no one.
She went up TO a seat near the front
of the car and sat down. A man sat
across the aisle from her few seats
ahead. Another came In and got into
the seat directly back of her
AS he was getting into the seat she
felt a sharp pain in the back of her
head. She supposed that the mans
watch charm or the edge OF his suit

looking around. but attempted 20 get a

AGAINST Increased Elo,Y.

Springfield. March 9.-Resolutions
tn be presented to the war depart
ment protesting against the granting
of permission TO the Chicago drain
age district to increase the flow of
water from Lake Michigan through
the drainage canal from 1000 cubic
feet a second to 10000 cubic feet
a second were adopted yesterday by
directors of the Association OF Levee
and Drainage Districts OF Illinois. II
was contended that the increase in
volume of water in the Illinois river
will swamp 100000 acres of reclaim
ed land and will put out of commits
zion sewerage systems in several
cities. The State Drainage associa-
ton insists upon the removal OF state
and government dams and dredging
in the lower reaches OF the river be-
fore any increase in its volume is per-
mitted.
