I. w. WIS WORK WAS
 ROWLING SUCCESS
University Settlement Worker De- cIares They Got What They
 Sought, Publicity.

New York, June 2.-Robbins Gil- man. head worker of the University Settlement, told those who attended the Intercity Conference of Settle, ments at the Henry Street Settlement House yesterday that the work of the I. w. w. last winter was a great and grand and almost a bowling success.
 "If you don't believe it, he saids .it is probable that you don't under stand what the I. w. w. set out to obtain, and that they obtained it. They. wanted pubIicity--to bring to the minds of the general public that they existed and that they were facing th91 problem of unemployment in the mid- dle of a hard winter.
 They succeeded in getting what they were after As one of them said to me. We were off the front page today. but we'll be back again tomorrow'-and they were.
 "The l. W. W.'s are red blooded men, intellectually keen. They were animated, as far as we could sec, with the highest motives and were determined to work together to do something to bring this situation be- fore the eyes of the public and have something done. They couldn't be led or bullied. Each msn was thinking for himself. They were dealing with the whole problem of unemploy-' ment, while the Bowery men were merely concerned, each one, with his individual need of a job. and hadn't the intellectual ability to grappm with the whole problem.
 "The I. w. W.'s are relying upon the help of the public once the sit- uation of the unemployed is sufficient ly brought to their attention to do something about it.

HOLD SHORT PRACTICE.
Smart Breeze and Examinations Cur
 tail Harvard Oarsmen's Work.

Red Top, Conn.,, June 2.-The first morning practice for the Harvard crews, which today inaugurated the real season of hard work in prepara- tion for the regatta with Yale on June 19, was short for the. reasons that a smart. breeze sprang up while the crews were down river. and sec ondly because the oarsrnen began their examinations at noon. Coach Wray took his varsity and freshman eights and substitutes down stream to the two mile stake, where racing starts were given. Wray gave par ticular attention to the individual form of men in the boat. Nearly every member of the two eights had instruction on some little irregular ity of form. The practice lasted fifty minutes when the river became choppy, and the crews headed back to the landings. MT. Herrick took cut the second eight, which is called the Henley eight, and gave instruc- ton both in blade work and form.
 Until June 10 the morning practice will be short, as examinations will be held. from noon until D. m. each day. The hard rows will be towards evening. No visitors came today and few are expected this week.

SCARLET FEVER CASES
 IN AUBURN JAIL
StVenty-fVe Per Cent. of Prisoners
 Have Malay in Mild Nature.

Auburn, June 2.-The epidemic of scarlet fever in Auburn prison reached general proportions last night and at the close of the days inspec- tion of the inmates it was said that over a thousand showed signs of hav- ing been infected. Prison Physician Frank HeacoX, with four assistants began an inspection of every indi- vidual, and besides examining the eyes and throat, made other tests to determine the presence of the malady. About TO per cent. of the men were set aside as definite or suspected cases and received treatment. None of the guards show signs of the dis ease, although all have associated with the convicts constantly. As the prison plant contains no hospital ac- comm odations for a general epidemic the isolation of suspects is impossi- ble.
 Those who have the fever so that they suffer from any discomfort are placed in the hospital. The men, however, do not consider the illness with alarm and continue at their work. Of the 1,400 men examined yesterday only seven were i'll enough to go to the hospital, where probably score of others are confined.
 Twenty Women III in Bed.
 In the womens prison, where the disease originated, there are sixty-five victims, of whom about twenty are in bed and half a dozen are serious ly ill
 Nothing is allowed to enter the prison except under rigid inspection, and everything that goes out is thor oughly fumigated. The inmates are showing a fine spirit of cooperation with the physicians and pr. Heacox said that he believed the epidemic is being overcome.
 We examined the men individual ly, giving each a thorough examina- tion," said pr. Heacox "I should say roughly that at least 75 per cent gave signs of possible infection, ana we placed them under treatment. All of the cases are mild and few of the men are suffering any physical dis comfort.
 "The fever seems to have struck the entire prison population at once, and while so general in extent, is mild in character. It is just burning itself out.
 Do Not Expect Serious Results.
 We do not feel alarmed, but if any of the men have other troubles the complications may develop into serious cases. We are holding our own and do not anticipate that the epidemic will be very serious
 The prison officers have received ruling from Attorney General Car mody that convicts whose terms ex- pire must remain in prison until the usual thirty days quarantine has ex- pired. This caused dismay among 8 number of men who will go out this month under expiration.
 The men just committed are iso- lated as much as possible from the men who have been exposed. An items in the program of the mayors conference this week relating to the prison are called off.

FLORIDA HOLDS FIRST
 STATEWIDE PRIMARY
Electors Cast Ballots for United States Senator. Representatives
 and State Officials.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2.-Voters of Florida today cast ballots for the nomination of democratic candidates for one United States senatorship, four members of the national house of representatives and various state and and county offices.
 It was the first statewide primary held under a law enacted by the last state legislature. The measure pro- vides that voters cast ballots for first and second choice of candidates, thus insuring nominations at the first primary. Under the previous system a second primary was held when no candidate received a majority vote at the first primary. Candidates on the democratic ticket only qualified this year.
 Chief interest centered in the con- test for the senatorial nomination. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher is seek ing renomlnation and is opposed by John N. c. Stockton of Jacksonville. All of Florida's representatives in congress are seeking renomination and all have opposition.

COST OF ATHLETICS.
Wesleyan Bulletin States Sports Cost
 University $11,7OO.

Middletown, Conn.,, June 2.-Ffgures showing the comparative cost and number of men participating in inter collegiate and "intramural' athletics at Wesleyan, are contained in the university bulletin sent out today. About sixty men took part in inter- collegiate sports last year on the foot ball, baseball, tennis, basketball and track teams at a total expenditure of $11, 700. Allowing for some of the men playing on more than one team the cost for each individual is figured at $200. The question is raised as to whether these figures though modest when compared with the outlay at many other institutions" are not ex- cessive. As compared with this, it is pointed out that during last year a system of intramural" athletics was developed with a regular schedule of inter-class and inter-fraternity games, in which about 425 students took part, at a total cost of $15O or less than seventy-five cents apiece, and with a corresponding benefit to the general health and physical life of the student body.

prObat1on.
 Says Wife Is Awful Ugly"
 He gave a lengthy argument in favor of himself and complained that he could not get along with his wife because 'she is awful ugly, she does just what she wants to do.' He stated that he pays her part of his wages each week and has not been drunk for four months, saying that if he had been his wife would have complained because she would be only too glad to have an opportunity to have him sent to jail
 Wunch's son testified against him, saying that he gets drunk every Fri day night when he gets paid and sleeps 1t off before it is time to re- port to the probation officer. He also declared that his father seldom gives his mother more than $5 per week. .r' .>+ >.:

 Five Counts Against Margosian.
 Margos Margosian, who seems to be possessed of a desire to hug young women, will be given a hearing tomor- row. He seems to be somewhat de- mented and his mental condition was examined today. He will be charged tomorrow with assaulting Mary Dill lon, Ida Koplowitz, Helen Kilduff, Mrs. Mary Boscolin and Sadie Rosen- berg. He pleaded not guilty to all five counts against him.
 Stanley Wustaf, an eighteen-years- old boy, said "Yeh,' when asked if he was drunk last night. Officer John Carlson arrested him at S:3O o'clock last night. He was lying. in the middle of the road in front of Keeney's. The boy told the court that he had gone out with a friend and spent all his money in getting drunk. Judgment was suspended and the judge ordered him to keep out of saloons in the future.
