around among the yachtsmen on and
about City Island yesterday, meaning
that Captain William Dennis, the sailing
master Of Alex. Smith Cochran's cup de-
fence sloop vanitie,. had resigned COM
mand OF the yacht.
When this news was confirmed at noon
il also became known that Captain Harry
Haff had been appointed skipper OF the
Vanitie OF course, every one wanted TO
know why Dennis quit" and one of the
yachts sailormen who said he knew all
about it declared it was because Dennis
could not have his way about the sails
that were 10 be used on the yacht In the
races off Sandy Hook last week.
Dennis wanted the yacht TO race with
the same suit she wore in the Sound
races when she won.' said he. The
owner and the designer insisted on using
a rev set that did not ft as well, so, as
Bill could not have his way, he quit"
William Gardner, the designer OF the
Vanitie. when asked why Dennis quit,
said: Because we did not want him"
incidentally he said that sails were made
to pull and not to flap.

he continued. She showed what she
could do at Larchmont and on the heavy
weather day in the New York Yacht
Clubs race, and as for lacking, she can
come about IL we want her TO as quickly
as the Resolute."
The wind blew so hard from the north

The escape Of Krafchenko is taken

\. j. Bradford of this city, repre-

record for winter automobile tours in
North Dakota.
He y the 10O-mile trip in the

Mr.. Bradford declares he left here
last Wednesday for Neche, and, since
then, has covered over 500 miles.
From Neche he drove to Park River,
and worked all the lines west, as we'll
as the H%ansboro line.
He says he made more yesterday
afternoon than the other traveler
made in n day. He came in from
Park River yesterday afternoon, and,
when near Larimor got stuck in a
snow drift. He had to be dug u of
this before he could continue to Grand
Forks.

Worrying over Situation

When tho railroad commission
meets here Wednesday to consider the
llltra-st;lte express rate question, Far
go representatives will oppose the
adoption of the interstate block sys-
TEN for state traffic.
Fargo authorities maintain that the
adoption OF this system would work
I other disadvantage. while Grand
Forks will reap all the benefits. Con-
*~euuently, according to Il report from
thal city. Traffic Commissioner Gibbs
OF the Fargo Commercial club is COM
ing here to oppose such a plan.
Inc traffic committee of the local
club will urge the adoption of the new
interstate system for intra-statc tar
MS. And the committee also is ready
to show that Grand Forks will not
reap all the benefits.
IN many respects, the local commits
tee declares, the rates would work to
Fargo's advantage, and all this viii
be pointed out at the meeting of the
commission.
Grand Forks is not worrying over
the express situation. Should the
commission decide to throw out the
interstate commission rates
and adopt another schedule, which
would give Grand Forks higher rates,
FOCAL can take their express
to East Grand Forks and ship it. from
there. thus securing the benefits of
the interstate tariffs. The East side
city is on the sa,nc basis in outgoing
express.
Shoul the commission decide to
adopt a schedule of their own maxi
ing, they probably would face a fight
on the part of express companies. The
express concerns have declared that
tho Interstate rates are acceptable to
them as ntra-state rates. but, it is
generally believed, they would siren
uously oppose the adoption OF differ
ent tariffs.
The commission meets at Fargo to.
morrow to consider the express bag
gage rate question.
