Led Harvard Crew by One
Third of a Length i'm
TwO-Mile Event
HARVARD MADE GAME
Squirt AT THE FINISH
Cut Down Yale's Advantage Foot by
Foot, But Could Not Overcome Lead
Gained at start-Rough Water Post
poned Freshman Race.

NEW LONDON, June 25.-Yale won
the second varsity eight-oared race by one
third of a length over her rival, Harvard,
III a snappy two-mile contest over the
Thames course today.
The Yale men led in the race from start
to finish and although Harvard made a
game rally in the last quarter mile the
Crimson crew could not overcome Yale's
lead.
Yale caught the water first and with a
faster stroke opened lead of a length at
the half mile line. The two crews rowed
a clean stroke and there was little spash-
ing. Harvard increased her stroke and
came up on nearly even terms with Yale.
Yale shook her off and at the mile had
a lead of nearly length. Near the finish
Harvard came strong and cut down Yale's
advantage foot by foot. Yale, however,
shot over the finish with one-third of a
length to spare.
The freshmen eight race was postponed
! until this afternoon. The crew were at
the starting line when wind sprang up and
it was decided to postpone the event until
later in the day
Yale 10 minutes and 40 seconds and Har-
ward 10 minutes and 43 seconds.
| The freshmen eight race will be rowed
after the big varsity eight four-mile race
| this afternoon. The regatta committee an
nounced that the wind and water condi-
tions were the cause of the postponement

JUDGE DECLINED
TO ORDER VERDICT
Defense Proceeds With Testimony in
Murder Trial in Keene - Experts
Tell of Analyses.
Especial to The Reformer.)


KEENE, June %
In the superior court yesterday the evi-
dence of the respondents in the trial of
Felix Buchanowski and Mrs Dominica
Salewiski, charged with the murder of
Frank Salewiski, husband of the woman,
was begun.
At the opening of court this morning
Judge Kivel asked that the jurors remain
in their room for a time and Joseph Mad
den, attorney for Felix, entered motion,
asking that verdict of not guilty be di-
rected at once. His motion was at once
overruled Attorney Pickard made the
opening for his client, Felix, and Attorney
w H. Watson made brief opening for
Mrs. Salewiski.
Mr. Pickard outlined what he expected
| to prove. He also stated that experts
would testify that arsenic was found in
the water at the Salewiski house, the shop
where he worked, also in the wall paper
| at the home and in a sample of the beer
IIe further stated that the symptoms OF
(which Frank died were consistent with
lptomaine poisoning and not arseneal as
claimed by the state.
Prof E. r. Angel of Derry was called
and stated that previous to 1890 he was
chemist for the state board of health Is
Iyears. He testified to the amount of ar
Isenic found in samples of water taken from
franks house and from the shop wher'
Frank worked.
The cross examination was by Attorne!
iGeneral Tuttle; who with the witness fig
!. ured out that Frank Salewiski would hav
Ito drink over $50 gallons of water in
brief time to have the amount of arsenic il
his system which was claimed.
The cross examination of Prof Angel
and one other witness, Prof. Votey,
chemist at Burlington, VT, occupied tn
attention of the court during the after
noon. Prof. Votey conducted an analyst
similar to that by Prof. Angel. His ties
/ itimony was along the same line as that c
lProf. Angel.

10000 Automobiles in Vermont.
(Randolph Herald and News. J

(Randolph Herald and News
In this poverty stricken state of
Vermont there are 10000 automobiles
and motor vehicles, or one to every 80
persons, about. At a fair estimate of
their purchase price, this represents an
expenditure of about $S,O00,0OO, nearly
all of which has been made within the
past eight years. 1t is too bad that
the bulk of this sum has had to go out
side the state. The whole country pays
heavy tribute nowadays to the motor
vehicle industry, most of which is cen
tered in one state and even in one city
Of course John D. gets his little tol
for ''gas and grease" too, amount
ing to nobody knows how many million
dollars every year.

TIMES WANTS TRUTH
TOLD ABOUT WAR
Is No Prospect Of Being Able to Com

LONDON, June 25.-A demand that
the nations be "told the truth about
the war; is voiced by the Times IN an
editorial The paper declares there is
no prospect of being able to compel
the Germans to withdraw within their
own frontier, and it would take
months to provide the British forces
with big guns, explosives and machine
guns necessary. The country has got
to set its peace, said the Times, q dis
regard confusing bulletins and face
the probability of a prolonged and un-
progressive campaign in the west .

better to consider it now, when the
public mind is normal, than to wait
until just before election and make
hasty decisions, when theI public
mind is excited and bewildered by
heavy political advertising.
I wonder what percentage of the
people know what they are voting
for. Just before every election it is
quite common to hear people ask,
''Who shall we vote for?" Indicating
they don't know what they want, nor
what they believe.

NEGRO ELEVATION.-It has been
argued that the coIored people are
physically and Intellectually be-
tween man and monkey. Human
beings who are heartIess enough to
make such irrational statements are
liable to say anything.
Even if it were true it only proves
that they are eVoIuting animals. For
have they not reached an intermedi-
ate state? They have rendered hu-
mainly a great service by proving
that man has the power within to
transcend his ordinary self.
If a race of people STEPPED in the
most abject slavery could develop
morally and spiritually in such a
short time of partial liberty, what
might they not have done if given all
the freedom of the whites? They
have certainly given the lie to the
white mans narrow race theories.
There is no ground to assume that
the negro will not in time modify his

ing parties? The people that partici-
pate in these lynching aprties are
murderers and should pay the full
penalty of such lawless action. How
30 we know that the negroes lynChed
we're guilty? Innocent men are muir
jered for no other reason than that
their skins are dark.
Educate the negro. Do not stunt
him and keep him in ignorance. Ig-
nOrance is the cause of all these low
crimes, whether committed by the
black race or white race. If the ne
gro can compete with the white man
in civilization and development may
the best man win. If the negro, with
equal opportunities, can show him
self superior to the white man, why
should the inferior race object to
their lead won by fair test of brains. l
would rather be governed by inteIi-
gent, fair and progressive black gov
erpment than by scheming white pol
iticians who see people of their own
race murdered before their eyes with
out f1inching.
Give the negro a chance! If the
white race wants to prove itself SUI
peFior, let them educate everybody
with no restrictions and take a great
step in decreasing the number of
crimes cOmmitted.-F. E. S.

thing different, so the Republican
party was badly defeated.
Millions voted for the Bull

find one. Evidently they did not

Millions voted for the Deocrats,

hears the story that the next admin

the people were not satisfied with it
before, and there is no reason to be-

It is foolish to keep chasing around
in a circle, like a puppy dog after its
tail, and never getting any further
ahead.
Let us therefore quietly investigate
and find out what we want, and vote

THE IDAHO & LOS ANGELES.
Changes in Appearance Of Vein Ar.
Highly Encouraging.

John w. Fink, manager of the Idaho
& Los Angeles company which is de-
veloping a promising vein lying south
of an parallel to the Interstate Gala
han, came down from the property
yesterday. A tunnel is being driven
at the head of Missoula gulch, on the
Beaver creek side of the divide. 1t
was started on the vein a good many
years ago and run about so feet, show
ing at that time two or three inches of
ore that assayed 3S per cent zinc. This
ore was apparently the top Of an ore
shoot which came up about two feet
from the bottom and soon disappeared
as the tunnel advanced. The tunnel
has now been extended on the vein 2
total distance of 1926 feet, and the APP
pearance in the fact is decidedly en-
couraging. Particles of lead and zinc
are occasionally found in the quartzite
along with much iron, and inter-
mingled with a streak of tale that has
been continuous is a yellowish green
substance that has the appearance OF
chloride of silver. The prospect of en-
countering an ore shoot at no great
distance is regarded very favorable,
Two shifts are employed. Arrange
ments are now being made to take In
supplies for the winter.
