AMERICAN YACHTING
HAS NO DELEGATE
Many Countries Represented
at London Conference.
Special cable Despatch to THE Sun from the
London Times Service.

Copyright, 1919, all rights reserved.
LONDON, Oct 20.-Regret that Amer
lea was not represented was the
keynote of the proceedings at the inter
national conference on yacht measure
ments held in London to-day. Major
Philip Hunloke said the Americans had
no central body TO manage their yacht
ing affairs, but that they had many
clubs and that Americans have shown
extraordinary ability in designing and
sailing yachts.
w. p. Burton, vice-president of the
British society, said that although Amer
lea was not represented at the confer
ence Americans were by no means I'M
friendly to it. Major b. PeckstaI
Smith, secretary of the Yacht Racing
Association read a paper dealing with
the American or universal rule of rae
ing. He said that it was interesting to
note how the New York Yacht Club rule
was similar to that which Prof l.. jung
burg had devised in Sweden-that all
yachts shall be rated according to the
square root of their sail area.
He emphasized the Importance OF the
following two points: that strict and
severe limits and penalties are of great
importance and that sail arrangement
rules such as those In America and
Sweden, which allow yacht owners to
make alterations to their boats during
the season without the trouble and ex-
pense of remeasurement, are bound to
popularize yacht racing. Countries rep
resented were Argentina, Belgium, Dem
mark, Finland, France, Great Britain,
Holland. Norway, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland

FAVOR DARTMOUTH
TO DEFEAT CORNELL
Green's Showing Against Penn
State Puts it in Fore for
Saturdays Game.

New York football followers are look
ing with eager interest toward the game
between Dartmouth and Cornell which
will be contested on the Polo Grounds
next Saturday afternoon.
Barring the Army-N Navy tits, this
game will be the biggest football affair
that has been provided at the Polo
Grounds since Cornelrs 1914 team
crushed Brown, 81 to 7. Cornell has
not been seen here since 1914, While
Dartmouth has not played in the city
since the disastrous Carlisle game in
1913.
Cornell and Dartmouth have met
twice on the gridiTon. each team winning
a game. The first clash was in 1900.
when Cornell won. "a to g.; while the
second was in 1912. when Dartmouth
trounced the Big Red team at Ithaca,
"a to 0. Thus this tilt will break the
tie, and II scenes certain that Dart
mouth will gain the long end OF the
rubber.
The chief reason that Dartmouth as
sumed the favored position is the rugged,
determined attack that the Big Green
team showed against Penn State last
Saturday, when Dartmouth was forced
to come from behind to win, 10 to IL.
This game might indicate also that the
Green. defence Is not all that 1t ought to
be. but it must be remembered that
Penn State is one OF the toughest teams
in the East.
And almost any defence at all ought
10 stall the Indifferent work that may
be expected of the Ithaca backfeld. The
Big Red team has scored grand total
of ~ points this season, and for each
and every one of them Capt. Fritz Shiv-
erick must be thanked. lie scored one
touchdown and two field goals-hardly
enough to make Dartmouth lose any
sleep.

CITIZEN SUPERVISOR
TO ENFORCE DRY LAW
Federal Activities T Temporary,
Roper Asserts.
Special Despatch to The sus.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-D Daniel c.
Roper. Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., tonight issued an explanatory
statement provoked by the published re-
ports of disorders in New York incident
to first efforts to enforce the dry law
with all of its drasticism Mr.. Roper
said:
Public attention has been drawn by
the press to sensational Incidents alleged
to have taken place within the last day
or two in New York city in connection
with the enforcement of war time pro-
hiRition. The statements are to the ef-
feet that guns were used by revenue Of
ficers and that persons were actually
shot
II have only had time to make SUPER
fcial inquiry regarding the occurrence
to which the press refers. but shall i'm
mediately and thoroughly investigate the
same.
THE public has also been led to be-
lieve that Col. Porter. the supervising
agent in charge of the district, was sent
to New York for the purpose OF enforc-
ing prohibition. Such is not the case.
COL Porter is the agent in charge OF our
revenue organization, and he has been
in New York for several months.
1t Is my conviction that the prohibition
fully administered through local sup
port, and it will be our policy to en-
courage each State to function for itself.
Our permanent organization FOR prohibi-
ton enforcement contemplates the ap-
pointment of supervisor of prohibition
for the State. to be selected from among
the citizens of the State, and does not
contemplate the employment for this
work of persons from outside the State.
We are now endeavoring to locate ef-
ficient supervisory officials in the several
| States. who will be made responsible
for proper enforcement Of the law
through the cooperative efforts OF State,
county and municipal officers.
Il have great faith in the desire of
law-abiding American citizens to enforce
the laws of their country. The present
internal revenue force will carry on this
enforcement work in a temperate but
fearless and vigorous manner until the
permanent organization as above indi-
Gated shall have been perfected"
