PERKINS PEEvEO
over TREATMENT

Chicago, June 20.-After a forenoon
of peppery exchanges between Attor-
ney Grosvenor, representing the gov
ernment in the antitrust suit against
the international Harvester company,
and George w. Perkins, chairman of
the finance committee of the COM
pany, who was a witness, the latter
complained bitterly to reporters of
the attitude of the government repre-
sentatives toward him and the COM
pany.
He had been under cross examina-
tion all forenoon, and had been dis
missed without redirect examination,
when he was surrounded by news
paper men.
What has been a matter of con-
stant amazement to me has been the
discourteous attitude the government
has maintained toward me since the
beginning of the trial." he declared.
AT first | expected the government
would call me as a witness, and ney-
er was so surprised in my life when
the government closed the case with
out calling me. The only course left
was for me to go on the stand of my
own yolition, and the moment ! take
the stand the prosecutor warns me
that anything I may say may be used
against me in a criminal suit which
may follow"

Crimson 0arsmen Take
Both of PreIiminaries
OF Regatta.
WEATHER GLOOMY KIND
Eli Youngsters, Although Catch
ing Water First, Soon Are
Left Far Behind.

New London, Conn, June 20.-Row-
ing true to form, Harvard crews won
both preliminary races in the annual
regatta with Yale this morning. Dis
agreeable weather conditions appeared
to have no effect upon the crimson
oarsmen, for in both the varsity four
cared and freshmen-eight races they
led their rivals from start to finish.
1t rained steadily the entire fore
noon, but the Thames was almost with
out a ripple The four-oared race
was little more than procession. The
showing of the Eli youngsters in the
freshmen-eight, however, was excel
lent.
The rain had a depressing effect
on thousands of spectators.
Harvard won an easy victory over
Yale today in the varsity four-oared
race, the crimson crew crossing the
finishing line five lengths ahead of the
Yale oarsmen. The contest was rowed
in nasty rain and the rippled sur
face of the Thames caused slow time.
The official time-Harvard, IL min
utes, so seconds; Yale, IL minutes.
IL seconds.
STEADILY WIDENS GAP.
Yale caught the water first, but the
Harvard crew soon put the nose of
their shell to the fore. Harvard stead
! lily opened the gap between the two
shells so that at the mile mark Yale
was two lengths behind. This lead
was increased to three lengths at the
tmiie and a quarter. Harvard flashed
over the finish line five lengths ahead.
The Yale crew was in bad shape at the
end OF the contest, number two almost
collapsing.
The freshmen-eight contest started
soon after the conclusion of the var.
sity four race. The water was smooth,
but it was raining hard.
Harvard won the freshmen-eight con.
test by a length and half. Time
Harvard. 10:41; Yale, 1915.
At the mile mark Harvard was a
full length ahead. Yale gradually cut
down the crimson lead to a scant half
length at the mile and half mark.
A quarter mile from the finish the
pace proved too much for the Ellis, who
drifted back until a scant length sep
arated the two shells as they passed
between the finishing flags.
The river was smooth, with just a
touch of a westerly breeze across the
water, when the Yale and Harvard
e!ght-oared crews put their shells over
board. The four-mile course was lin
ed with cheering thousands.

Members Turn From Tar
if to Study the New
Bills Framed.
DEMOCRATS TO AGREE
Draft to Be introduced in Both
Houses Early Next
Week.

Washington, d. C., June Coon
gress turned its eyes away from the
tariff today and scrutinized the admin
istration's currency bill While the
measure will noi be introduced in both
houses until next week, the tenta-
tive draft brought about an informal
discussion generally by which tine
president and democratic leaders mop
ed to develop complete harmony when
the bill Is launched for debate and
amendment.
Attention centered today in the re-
discounting feature as one of the fun
damentals on which the entire plan
was based. The power Of the regional
reserve bank is specifically broadened
TO discount notes and bills of ex-
change arising out of commercial trans
actions. 1t is this power, which. in
times Of stress, administration officials
think, will alleviate money stringency.
BOARD PASSES on PAPER.
While the federal reserve board,
through its agent in the federal re-
serve bank. would have the right to
determine and define the character of
paper eligible for discount. that defini.
tion viii not include notes or bills
drawn for the purpose of carrying or
trading in stocks. bonds or other in
vestment securities. except notes or
bills having maturity of rot exceed.
ing four months and secured by United
States state, county or municipal
bonds. Notes and bills generally aris,
ing aut-af d6mmefeial transactions
must have maturity of not more than
45 days.
The Glass bill proposes that the new
currency became effective 80 days af
ter passage. though a period of IS
months Is allowed for the shifting Of
the present reserve to the new fed
eral banks.
