The bill was explained succinctly IN
the House by Representative Thacher
of Massa chusetts. who said:
"All along the coast of our country
tho story is the same 1t is the same
cry, Give us men The service ls de-

pursuits, and the older men. broken
down sometimes in body, mind ana
purse are leaving the service. These
facts are indisputahle. Let us examine
the conditions which the life-saving
service faces today and the provisions
of relief to be furnished by the coast
guard bill:
owing to insufficient pay and lack
of retired list. practically one-th1rd
of TIL life-saving stations are now
either undermanned or manned Win
inefficient men.
AN average of eleven men a year
die in the service from disease or ex-
posure incident to the hazardous duties
In addition an average or twenty
nine men are discharged annually be-
fore the expiration of their enlistments
on account of physical unfitness. de-
yeIoped as incident to exposure ana
their hazardous duties.
The revenue cutter service and the
life-saving service. both devoted in the
main to the saving of life and property
from the ravages of the sea, are now
operated as distinct organizations, al
though formerly administered by one
executive head.

Victory Over Harvard.

NEW YORK. March 2o-With Guy
NickaIls back from England, crew work
at Yale has become active, in prepare
ton Of another victory over the Crimson
at New London next June. Last season
the new Yale rowing policy was some
thing OF an experiment, and hopes and
doubts struggled against each other al
most up to the day OF the big race. There
is a different condition now. Nickalls
has proved his theory by an indelible
victory. and this judgment from now on
will remain unquestioned In all that per-
tains to the rowing policy at New Haven.
And, as a matter OF fact that policy has
been quite clearly outlined.

the American custom will prevail, that OF
placing them directly over the keel, in
stead of zig-zag. as n the usual type OF

Yale crew last year when It used the
thole pin rig and the corroborative evil
dence which was gathered from the per-
Torrance Of Pennsylvania on the Hudson
has been taken as a justification of what
Dy many was COnsldefed an obsolete
method. The fact that Captain Denegre

Hospital.
POLICE FILE CHARGE
Assault With Intent to Kill is the
Charge Filed Against Strch-

Assaiiant.
POLICE FILE CHARGE

The condition of Albert Crowell.
who was removed to the Graham hos
pital Saturday night with knife
wound in his skull. following a fight
with Emil Strohmaier, was reported
by his physician, DR. w. Frank Brown,
to be improving and it is believed he
will recover from the operation in
which his skull was trepanned and
the point Of knife blade removed.
Chief OF Police Kenney this morn
ing filed in the superior court an in
formation against Strohmaier charg-
ing him with assault with intent to
kill Crowell Strohmaier has err
gagged Frank III. Ballinger to defend
him. He probably will be arraigned
in tho superior court some time this
afternoon.
Chief Kenney yesterday visited
Crowell at the hospital and took from
him statement as to how the fight
occurred and of the caues which LEAD
to 1t. According to the story told by
Crowell, the fight resulted from jest
resented by SHOEMAKER. Crowell
stated that both he and Strohmaier
were in a saloon at Twelfth and
Main streets before the fight and he
says that Strohmaier was intoxicated.
SHOEMAKER had some money in
each pocket OF his overcoat. In g
joking way, Crowell put his hand In
one OF Strohmaiers' pockets that con-
tanned the money. Strohmaier jerked
away and in doing so the pocket Of
his coat was torn. This made him
angry and he turned and struck Gro
WE'LL A police officer, in the saloon
at the time. ordered Crowen to leave
the saloon. He says he left the place
and walked across the street to an
opposite corner. He had been there
but minute or two, he says, when
Strohmaier left the saloon and ran
toward him, holding knife in his
hand
Crowelrs father, Benjamin Crowell,
a teamster, came along at this time
and started down the street with his
son. Crowell says that Strohmaier
followed for short distance and
then struck him on the side Of his
head with the knife, reaching across
his father in order to do so. Crowell
claims it was after this that he be-
came agnry, took out his own knife,
and went after Strohmaier. He says
he did not know he had been stabbed
in the head until later He tried a
number Of times to cut Strohmaier
whose oyercoat was slashed in num-
be- Of places. The only injury he In
flicted, however, was slight cut
across the back OF one hand.
Croweil was taken Immediately aft
err the fight to the ONCE OF DR. Brown
and from there to the Graham hos
pital where he was operated upon.
The operation was performed about
1890 and it was some time after that
before he came out from under the
influence of the anesthetic.
