Columbia Favorite.

COlumO O1a taVOr1te.
 Last year when a freshman race also was included in the regatta Co., lumbia made a clean sweep of the three eventsi with Yale on the Housa- tonic river and followers of the Blue and White today were confident that it's oarsmen would repeat the vic tories.
 On the other hand, Yale. while badly beaten by Penns crews recently is declared to have greatly improved and was expected to give Columbia a real race. ColumbiaS varsity, aver aging ITO pounds and outweighing Yale three pounds to the man. has been heralded as one of the best eights turned out at Morningside Heights in years.
 The Bulldog shell is stroked by Jack Freeman who tips the beam at only 147 pounds and is the lfghtest stroke in collegiate rowing circles. He earned fame last year by pulling the Blue to a remarkable victory over Harvard on the Thames.

tempt to Halt Mate.

Grand Island, Neb., July 4.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)- first breach of
order in connection with the strike
here took place when Mrs. Dobber-
stein, wife of a shop employe who
did not go out, fired two shots near
a group of pickets which, according
to city authorities, hailed her hus-
band as he was leaving the shops in
the car brought by his wife.
Mrs. Dobberstein declares that the
men were throwing stones at their
car and also that she did not dis
charge the revolver.
Union men deny that they threw
any stones and union Pacific watch
men also fail to corroborate the
charge.
1t is given out by police that the
woman probably became frightened
and shot, as the husband later ad-
mitted, in order to scare the pickets.
The gun was taken away from the
woman but no further action is likely
to be taken.
A few days ago laborer was slap
ped and kicked by striker. but this
is the only other incident reported by
Union Pacific watchmen.

Washington. July 4.-Twelve F-5-
L seaplanes of the navy have COM
pleted a flight of 1000 miles from
Philadelphia to the naval air base at
Pensacola. Fla, without mishap. The
flight. without accident, is regarded
as a high tribute to the efficiency and
reliability OF material and personnel
1t also demonstrated conclusively the
mobile qualities of naval aviation
units.
The flight from the naval aircraft
factory at Philadelphia was Under
taken in the interest OF economy. The
alternative procedure would have
been to pack the planes for shipment
and transportation from Philadelphia
to Pensacola by rail at a cost of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
