The union lawyer did not comment
on the fact that the president and
half a dozen members Of the wom-

that they saw no insignia on the
man and that union members who
stood in the vestibule Of the Italian
hall for an hour before the panic
started said the alarm came from
within the hall and no person wear
ing such a button had passed them.
In the opinion Of Anthony Lucas,
prosecuting attorney of Houghton

tablished today were that an excitable
member Of the audience raised the
cry, that there was no actual fire IN
the hall and that the doors were open

 The balloting was very spirited as vast array of candidates was pre- sented. The race for the presidency was very close, the three favorites being MT. Leo Mclaughlin, MT. Clar- ence Horner and Miss Bancroft.
 Miss Bancroft was escorted to the chair by MT. Mclaughlin and re- sponded to an insistent demand for a speech with few graceful remarks of thanks and appreciation of the honor conferred. She called meet ing of the officers and the committee on history to meet at Jones school next Saturday at a. m.
 The association then adjourned, with many pleasant memories of the happy occasion.

New London, Conn, June 19.-By a margin of four inches, Yale won the Varsity four-mile eight-oared race on the Thames river here late today after a struggle that will stand out in rowing history when the compet- ing oarsmen are forgotten. Through four-mile lane of yachts and motor boats, the 16 crewmen toiled at the crimson and blue tipped oars as no galley slaves ever labored under the lash, while thousands of spectators on shore and on observation trains shrieked hystericaly
 When the knife-lke prows of the racing shells had cut past the final line of flags and the oarsmen dropped with heaving chests and. sweat dimmed eyes, few of the thousands knew whether victory had perched on the bcw Of the Yale or the liar yard racing craft.
 On board the judges boat at the finish line could be seen the arbiters of the race gesticulating in confer ence while first blue flag and then a crimson one was waved at the end of a long pole. On the observation trains the clans of Harvard and Yale cheered by turn. Slowly the Harvard colors began to sink as the judges finally resorted to the megaphone and screamed across the water that Yale had won it's first varsity race in seven years by less than a foot in 21 minutes and 16 seconds, with liar yard crossing the line one-fifth of a second later.
 The victors and yanquished saw or heard little of the celebration. Ex- hausted nature was taking her toll. Drifting slowly upstream with the tide went the two shells side by side. Too exhausted to hold themselves up right, those who had the strength and wits to do it splashed water on their exhausted crew mates.
 Never in the history Of intercol- legiate rowing has there been a greater exhibition of bulldog determi- nation and grit on the part of sixteen oarsmen seated in rival shells. They rowed side by side with Yale always

every half-mile flag except those marking the three and half mile station. Here the Crimson crew made it's bid for victory and for few hundred yards led by several feet.
 The Ellis soon regained the lead, however, which they never relin- quished.
 Many Harvard adherents left the shores and trains confident that Har- ward had won. There was no ques- tion, however, as to the Yale victory. The three officials differed as to the seconds, but officially decided that Yale had crossed the line about four inches ahead. Guy Meals, the Yale coach, said that he never had seen or heard of such close finish in a race of such @ distance.
