HARVARD Grew WINS
H0NORS AT HENLEY
Grand Challenge Cup Goes to
American Rowers-Ital-
ian Best Sculler.

Henley on Thames, July 6.-The two
leading trophies contested for at the
Henley regatta We're won by foreigners
today, the grand challenge cup falling
into the hands of the Harvard second
eight and the DIAMOND SOULS being
taken to Italy by Giuseppe Sinigaglia,
The weather was perfect when the
Union Boat club, of Boston, and the
Harvard crew went to the starting line.
Boston was off in the lead and was half
a length in front at the quarter mile.
Harvard spurted and the shells were
even at the half.
Harvard then drew away and led by
a third of a length at three-quarters
of a mile. AT the mile post Harvard
had increased their advantage to three
quarters of a length and from there to
the finish line widened the distance to
q length and a quarter.
In the final of the Diamond sculls, G.
M. Stuart$of Cambridge, led Sinigaglia
all the way to within 800 yards of the
finishing line when he gave up, the
pace being too strong for him.
England was slightly compensated
for the loss of the grand challenge cup
by the victory of Leader over the May
ence Rowing club of Germany in the
stewards challenge cup and by the sue
cessful defense of the Thames challenge
cup by Caius college, Cambridge,
against the attack Of the Royal Nauti-
cal club of Client, Belgium.

OLD MAN
KILLED BY RIVAL?

Hartford, Conn.,, July 6--The jealousy
of an old man whose love was spurned
for that of a youthful rival led 69-year-
old Waldo r. Ballou to a terrible death
in the Stamford studio Of his 4O-year-
old sweetheart, Helen Blondell Angle.
five days ago, according to officials in
charge Of The case.
That announcement, coming with
definite a~bruptness. supplies the mo-
tiye--hitherto missing-that impelled
the slayer of the white-haired politi-
cal leader. 1t supplies. too, the police
say, a motive for the strange behavior
of Helen Angle since the police trailed
her scarle footprints and placed her
under arrest.
1t was virtually announced that
charge of homicide in the Ballou case
will be laid before Saturday morning.
Whatever doubt existed in the minds
of the authorities was dispelled yes
terday by three unexpected discoveries.
w have made discoveries which
'"They bear our theory from the
first. 1t will be proved that Ballou,
when he called on Mrs. Angle, Tuesday
night, met another man there. His well.
come was not cordial and he left early.
Bitter at the rebuff he did what a nom
drinking man would do-took the first
drink any man ever saw him take in a
public saloon.
The liquor Or perhaps a flash Of the
returning fire of youth led him to re-
trace his steps. He entered the flat
again and found his rival still there.
There was a sharp, quick quarrel and
Ballou was struck down. The rest Is
told in the red prints of bare feet all
over the place. Our case is much
stronger than it ever has BEEN"
The inquest will be held late this af-
ternoon.

SWEDISH-NORWEC|AN
ALLIANCE PROBABLE
Claimed There Is Growing
Sentiment in Favor Of
Proposed Union.

Stockholm, July 6.-The campaign fol
an alliance between Norway and Swed-
en- continues without a dissenting note.
Prominent politicians of all parties are
advocating such a course on the public
platforms, and in the newspapers. The
movement, however, still acks any Of
fetal action.
Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer.
and Siguid Isben. have exchanged
visits between Stockholm and Chris
tiania, and each has found public SEN
timent agreeable to the proposed alli-
ance. The ir~reconcilable differences
which led to the disruption of the union
betWeen h two countries i'll 1905, and
which barely escaped causing war,
seem to have smoothed out to the ex-
tent at least that both peoples desire
to unite in a defensive alliance against
possible Russian aggression.
The Increase in the army and navy
of Sweden, instead of exciting the con-
Germ of Norway, is greeted there with
the utmost satisfaction. it is said, and
Norway itself has a strong movement
underway for an increase in arma-
ments. Isben, in his lectures here. has
argued that the foreign offices and the
genera! staffs should have some for
NAL arrangement for working together

Egyptians possessed no newspapers, an
interesting chronicle of the small hap
penings of their daily life is exposed in

girls. Announcements of horse racing

PROBE METHODS OF

London City Officials sus-
pect They Control Eng
lands Meat Supply.

London. July 6.-The corporation of
the city of London is holding a private
inquiry into the alleged control of he
English meat supply by the big Ameri-
can beef companies. 1t was proposed
at a recent meeting of the corporation
that the development of these COM
panies be clipped by placing a limit
upon the number OF stalls they may
hold in the Smithfield market, but upon
adverse report by a special committee
it was decided not to interfere. The
committee reported that the conditions
of the business n the nature of the
Tade have very materially changed
during the last 10 years, and that the
tendency to eliminate the middleman,
or commission agent, and to concen-
trate the trade into fewer hands had
affected the-meat trade as we'll as other
industries. The corporation decided,
however, by 80 votes to 10, to have a
private inquiry to ascertain which
sections of the market, if any, are I'M
der American control. 1t is asserted
that many of the Smithfield statesmen
are financed by what is called trust
funds" but the extent of the American
influence in Smithfield is not known.
