ference of governors and others inter-
ested in the suppression of vice and
amelioration of the condition of work
ing girls, promised to be one of the
early results of the investigation start
ed by the white slave" committee of
the senate.

ernoon that such a conference would
be desirable. Lieutenant Governor

and will get into Immediate commu-
nication with the governors of Mich
igan. Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Wis
consin and Indiana, suggesting a gem
eral conference, to be held in Spring

combination of adjoining states great
good may result.

Upton CHALLENGE
DECLINED BY NEW
YORK YACHT CLUB
Challenge Did Not Comply
With Conditions Which
Govern All Contests
for the Cup

New York, March 12.-Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenge for anoaher race for the
Americas cup, the premier trophy OF
the yachting world. was declined by the
New York Yacht club tonight. This ac-
cause the challenge did not comply with
conditions of the deed of gift which gov
erns all contests for the cup.
Destinations of the present challenge,
however, it was stated by members, did
not necessarily mean that no cup race
was in prospect, as the club expected an
unrestricted challenge for the cup from a
British gentleman other than Sir Thomas
Upton.
The clubs only official statement re-
lated to the reason for the declination of
the Upton challenge, which was for
warded by the Royal Ulster Yacht club
for Sir Thomas. The statement read:
Conditions Too Broad
1.-THE New York Yacht club has declined
this challenge because 1t imposes as a
condition that the defending vessel shall
not exceed 70 feet in length ON the water
line and thereby deprives the defending

of gift to select a vessel of such size as
1t pleases, provided she be not less than
65 nor more than 80 feet on the water
line.
THE club has cabled its reply to the
Royal Ulster Yacht club.
'As 1t would be improper to make this
reply public before it is received by the
Royal Ulster Yacht club, it cannot be
given to the press until tomorrow even
ing
The clubs action tonight was taken al
a meeting attended by more than 30t
members. Only boat owners were entitled
to vote on the question of the challenge
Forty votes were cast and all were
against acceptance. The refusal was 9
repetition of the clubs action upon the
Upton challenge in 1907 which likewise
stipulated for craft under the 80 foo
mark as challenger and defender.
Sir Thomas sent three boats to this
side of the water in a vain quest of the
cup against 80 foot defenders and has con,
tended that a yacht OF the so foot type
cannot be constructed on the other side
and brought across with safety to thu
crew without a sacrifice of some of hel
racing qualities to the strength of con
struetion necessary for an ocean voyage
