inent made at the boathouse yesterday.
The varsity rowed down the lake to a
point we'll below Osden's dock and on
It's return to the boathouse had trav-
erscd twenty-six miles. Only one other
Cornell eight has ever approached this
mark. the 1914 eight. which reached Og-
den's dock. but did not row beyond II.
The coaches said that the varsity
was short of work, though they hoped
good weather this week would permit
more practice than has been possible so
far, In all probability no more shifts
will be made In either varsity or fresh
man eight before the Harvard races.
The probable seating arrangement Tor
the Harvard races follows:
Varsity-Bow, Fernow; 2. Bird; 3.
Brewer; 4, Andrus; s. Worn: s. Gushing;
Z. Lund; stroke. Collyer; coxswain.

ROFRAKO ANSWERED
 GALL OF THE HEART
Alleged Murderer Could Not Re-
 main Away From Family

New York, May 17.-Former Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Michael A. Rofrano, who suddenly crept out of hiding to face a charge of murder, declared yesterday that a yearning for his home and five Chil- dren made it. impossible for him to stay in exile any longer. As soon as ne had been arraigned before Judge Delehanty in General Sessions on charge of murder in the first degree, lie begged District Attorney Swann for permission to see his family. Not in the Tombs, he said, but in some room in the district attorneys office, from which his children could not carry away a vision Of their father behind prison bars.
 The reunion took place in the office on the fourth floor of the Criminal Courts building formerly occupied by Assistant District Attorney Brothers. Two detectives looked on as Rofrano received his family, wife, mother and five daughters, ranging from to 4 years. For the first time since his reappearance Rofrano showed the effects of the nervous strain which he

COST OF LIVING ID
 TAKE NEW SPRING
Strike on New York Pier Causes
 Embargo on Freight

New York, May 17-An embargo on marine freight from the Pacific CoCst to this port which will divert thousands of tons of freight to the transcontinental railroads, with a, consequent increase in rates to the shipper of from about ' to 45 per cent, has been declared by the Southern Pacific Railroad company Since much of this freight consists of dried fruits canned goods, and dried vegetables the increased cost of ship ment must ultimately fall on the consumer of such commodities here. and, it was admitted. an increase i1 the already high cost of living may follow the companys decree.
 Whatever the result of their action however, the railroad officials an nOunced yesterday that the embargo would be enforced until the last one of the 1850 coopers, checkers, and lOngShOremen who quit the piers Of the Morgan line here on Tusdav taOin shmrdlu cmfWyp vbgkqj xzfih1f morning of last week had returned to his work or his place had been sat- isfactorily filled. According to these officials their men had no desire to strike, but were forced to quit work through fear of Paul Kelly, the former gang leader, and the strong arm men who are with him in the LOngshoremen's Union
 Kelly is president of the union according to the information of the railroad men. Whatever his post, he is said to control the union complete ly and to direct it's councils. Certain 1y he appeared as spokesman for the union in the brief negotiations which preceded the strike declaration last week, and men who had worked for the Morgan line for twenty years and who quit their posts almost in tears, declared that Kelly had threatened them with beating and even more serious harm if they did not accept his leadership.
 Officials of the Southern Pacific which controls the Morgan line de- clared their belief yesterday that the strike was nothing but an attempt by Kelly to hold up the company for prepOsterous wages and to cement his hold upon the Longshoremens S union by a display of strength direct ed against non union piers.

DASH OF BUSINESS
 IN GLASS OF LOVE
Lake George Man Knew How to
 Mix a Cupid Cocktail

Putnam, May 17-seabury D. Brewer, of Lake George, N Y, ap- parently never heard that diologue between two actors on a New York stage which runs thus:
 First Actor-Heres a fine motto: Do right and fear no man,
 Second Actor-Here's better: Don't write-and fear no woman!
 MT. Brewer wrote-to Mrs. Sarah Duncan Naylor, now dead-and fifty one of his ferVid love letter were read before Judge Charles c. Thomp- son in the Probate Cout, where her daughter is trying to have her will set aside on the ground of undue influence by MT. Brewer.
 Mrs. Naylor, who died at Spring. field, Conn.,, Feb. 19, last left an es- tate of $101,OOO. Four-fifths of the income from this she devised of Mr. Brewer. Her daughter, Miss Mary G. Naylor, should get the other one- fifth, she said, and upon Mr. Brewers death should at it all. Mrs. Naylor lives abroad. Her attorneys are Jos- eph H. Choate, Jr., and Ernest T. Sherman of New York.
 Used Morphine and Whiskey.
 Dr. Esther L. Stevenson, first ,as- sistant at Dr. Givens sanitarium at Stamford testified that Mrs. Naylor. patient there in December, 1914, was addicted to the use of mor- phine and had one and a half ounces of whiskey before meals and at bedtime.
 'She told me many times how men had tried to strike up affairs with her since she was a widow" testified StnuanCnr ly of a man from Lake George, who said he remem bered her as a "golden- haired companion of his youth It was really her sister he rem membered, but she said she didn't want to dis appoint him, so she had her hair made golden with peroxide of hydrO- gen.
 Further testimony developed the fact that MT. Brewer went to Reno to get a divorce from a wife, who he said, had deserted him seventeen years before, and while at Reno he wrote Mrs. Brewer the fifty-one let ters. They were a queer melange of fervid sentiment and cold business
 Mingled Love and Law.
 Tn one he expressed "undvinr love- and then asked, "Please send me the power of attorney you con- ferred upon me-
 In another he wrote "Remember l am not scolding at you, for Cupid is sitting on top of my pen.'
 In still another he wrote:
 This is the last time in my life that I will ever let woman make 2 sucker of me. But I wouldn't let this letter go without telling you how much I love you. You must remem- Der, however, that business is busi- ness.'
 Five wills of Mrs. Naylor were pre- sented in court today The first, sec- ond and third spoke lovingly of her daughter and did not mention Brew er The fourth and fifth gave most of the income to him. The case will go on today.

APPAM NOT A PRIZE,
 LANSING DECLARES
PruSSian-AmeriCan Treaty Of 1799
 Is Not Thought Applicable

Washington, May 17-Secretary the text of his note of March last to Count Won Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, in which the latter was informed of the decision of this gov ernment in the case of the British steamship Appam, which was cap tured at sea by the German com- merce raider, Moewe. and sent into Hampton Roads as prize under command of a German lieutenant
 Until yesterday the note had been regarded as a confidential document by the state department, Even the character of it's decision in the Ap- pam case was never officially dis closed by the administration. The note would have been kept secret longer except for the fact that it has been introduced in evidence be-
 fore Judge Waddill in the federal district court at Norfolk, where libel proceedings are pending. The state departments purpose in withholding publication of the note was out of courtesy to the court and since the court has permitted
 the note to be introduced in evidence,
 the state department no longer has
 objection to it's publication.
 The note discloses that the state department refuses to accept the con- tention of the German embassy that under the Prussian-Amer treaty of 1799 the Appam should be en- 1 titled to asylum in an American port ] This is a distinct surprise for it has l been generally believed in Washing tn that the state departm had con-
 cluded to regard the old treaty as
 applicable and that it would not or i der the Appam to leave American ] waters. Secretary Lansing asserts that
 the old treaty is applicable only to
 prizes brought into American ports 1 by vessels of war and that even in
 such cases the port of refuge could
 not he made a port of Intimate des- ] tination or indefinite asylum by ves- l sels bringing prizes into American 1 ports.
 But in any event, the state depart
 ment has decided, the Appam is not 1 entitled to remain in American waters
 under the treaty, because she was
 not brought in by a ship of war, but
 was sent in unescorted to be de- posted as a spoil of war in an Amer ] ican port. The state department rules
 that the Appam can only enjoy the | privileges usually granted by mari-
 time nations to prizes of war, aud ] that she should leave as soon as the cause of her entry into an American port is rcmoVed-stress of weather repairs, or need of provisions
 However, in view of the libel pro- ceedings instituted at Norfolk by the 1 British owners of the vessel in an 1 effort to obtain custody of the ship, 1 the state department will take no action until the courts of this co1ln- 1 try-perhaps until the supreme court -decide- whether the United States 1 at Norfolk has properly taken jurls- diction of the case.

 Tears rushed to his eyes as his youngest child threw her arms around his neck and pleaded with him to come home. Both the mother and wife were in mysteries. Finally Kofrano, overcome, asked the detec- tives to take him out of the room, which they did, closing the door on his weeping children.
 'T Had to See Them
 Then Rofrano broke down com pletely He turned to the door which separated him from his family and nuttered: Those little ones in there. That's why I had to come back I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to see them, no matter what happened to me-
 Martin w. Littleton, counsel for Rofrano, said his client was anxious to go to trial as soon as possible. He wanted no delay, and it was at RofranO's own urgent request that Mr. Littleton made arrangements with the district attorney to put the case on the June calendar. Although Rofrano himself would make no statement yesterday, MT.

We are often criticised because we
do not get the money" with this
publication. Few Negroes realize the
responsibility that rests upon the Ne
gro editor. Some would-be editors
endorse their races worst enemies
for "the money"-and they are credit
ed as being smart newspaper men.
The Negro editor, who commands the
respect of the public and serves the
best interests of his race and his
community; is the man who will not
sacrifice the rights or privileges OF
his race on the altar of self-aggran-
dizement. He will have hard strugg-
giles, but will be encouraged by each
achievement for right. The fellow.
who sells his birthright, generally
gets his price. He flourishes for a
time only, and often becomes a pub
lie menace or social outcast. The
Star asks no sympathy or charity, and
will never adopt the "get the money
policy. We will tell the truth about
conditions, and will never endorse or
support any political candidate, who
has not given the Negro a square
deal. We will give credit to any in
dividual, regardless of political affilia-
tion on social standing, who is true
friend of deserving Negroes. .
