COLLEGE CREWS
TO RACE TODAY
Regatta Between Yale and Penn
on Today's Schedule; Weather
and War May Interfere

Philadelphia, April T. Weather
permitting and providing war condi-
tions would not interfere. the local
rowing season was scheduled to open
to-day on the Schuylkill. Yale and
Penn crews expected to compete in
the annual collegiate regatta.
The junior eight was scheduled to
start at 4.30, while the varsity race,
the premier event of the afternoon,
Will be staged half an hour later. The
relative merits of the two crews are
practically unknown, as there is but
one veteran remaining from last year
on both of the varsity eights.
Average Weight About Even
The weights of the two varsity
crews are even, as they each average
17o pounds. The Red and Blue
eight, however. have a two-inch ad-
vantage in height, as they average
little over feet | inch. The Quaker
oarsmen are also two years older per
man than the New Havenites. 1t is
in the junior crews. however, that the
weights differ immensely. The Yale
second boat averages 176 pounds,
which is eight pounds heavier than
their opponents. The Penn crew. how
ever. is over an inch taller than the
tale men, as they stand feet q of
aa Zach in height to Yale's feet II
inches. The average weight of the
Yale boat has been greatly increased
by Fox, the No. man. who stands
6 feet inches and weighs 207 pounds
Captain VOL is the only man re-
naming from the crew which raced
against Yale last year. All the other
men have either graduated or are
rowing in the junior boat. McNaugh-
ton, the No. man in Yale's varsity
is the only veteran who rowed against
Penn last year. Yale has been ma
terially weakened by the loss of much
of its rowing material, who were
forced TO give up practicing on ac-
count of being in the Yale Battery
Both crews have been out on the water
five weeks and are still far from being
in mid-season form.

TO LOOK AT MORRIS

Chicago, ILL.,, April TN take an
other look at Carl Morris five months
hence and see how he looks then, be-
fore deciding whether to give him q
chance at the heavyweight champion
ship" said Jess Willard. as he made
preparations for a trip to Norfolk,
Va, where he will join wild west
show.
Asked whether he believed Morris
fight with Fred Fulton at New York
last night was sufficient to qualify
him for a crack at the title, Willard
said:
II don't think Morris showing
ought to give him a fight with me-
at this time. Anyway, my show con-

Predictions that temperatures were
to 90 sharply down grade led to i'm
mediate misguidings in the corn mar
l<Ct operation for the railroads would
be handicapped and movement of the
corn crop would suffer new delay. Be-
sides, fresh Complaints of car scarcity
gained circulation, and it was said
traffic facilities had not as yet i'm
proved sufficiently to result in any
decided increase of loadings. Receipts
here were still disappointingly small
and the United States visible supply
total showed only a slight enlarge
ment. Under such circumstances, bulls
had the advantage throughout the en-
tire session. Business was of notice
ably restricted holiday character.
Buying that was ascribed to export
interests had a good deal to do with
the advance in oats. The best demand
was for the May delivery.

MUNICIPALITY HELD LIABLE

Atlanta, Ga, April 12.-If NUM-
cipal government lowers the grade
of street in front of your property,
and you are put to expense to read
just your building or ground to the
lower level of the street, the munic-
ipality is liable for damages at least
to the extent of your expense, accord
ing to decision just handed down
by the state court of appeals in a very
interesting and hard-fought case that
went up from the city of Atlanta,
wherein the damaged property own
er, George w. Sciple, was success
fully represented by local attorney,
and the decision of the court being
against the city of Atlanta's appeal
from an adverse verdict. 1t was con-
tended by the city that there was no
liability to pay the expense of read
justment, and contended also that
the property owner was not bound
by the valuation placed by him upon
his property for taxation. Both con-
tentions were over-ruled by the court
of appeals.

AND WIFE HELD ON
CHARGE OF KILLING GIRL

Douglas, Ga, April 1l.-R. w.
Wooten, a Broxton druggist, aged 40,
and his wife, Mrs. Matte Wooten,
aged 80, are held in Jail here charged
with the murder of Refine Wooten,
12-year-old daughter of Wooten and
his first wife. They were arrested
last night on warrant issued by the
coroner's jury charging murder
Testimony was to the effect that
on Sunday, April l, the girl died
suddenly after taking medicine given
her by Wooten After her death it
is alleged Wooten refused to permit
an investigation.
On April 2 the remains of the lit
tie girl were carried to Rochelle for
interment and there Wooten reported
to his friends that she died of relapse
of measles. The next day interested
parties summoned the coroner and
began an inquest The coroner went
with the jury to the Rochelle ceme-
terry and eXhumed the body, took out
the stomach and sent it to the state
cemist for examination. The chemist
examined the stomach and reported
officially that after allowing for alb
sorbtion the stomach contained $500
of a grain of sulphate of strychnine,
and stated that one-fourth of a grain
was the least dose Known to prove
fatal to an adult
Based upon these facts the coroner's
jury returned a verdict of death bv
poisoning at the hands of R. w. Woo
ten and his wife and pronounced it
murder and the corner issued a war
rant and they were arrested and pac-
ed in jail.
