CAMBRIDGE WINNER
 OVER OXFORD CREW
Springs Surprise by Defeating
 FaVOrits in Boat Race
MAKE IT IN FAST TIME
inexperienced Oarsmen Triumph Over Veterans, Stroked by New Yorker, in Time But fc Seconds Lower Than Best Record Ever Made.

 Putney, Eng, April 5.--Cambridge uniyersity's varsity eight sprang a surprise today by defeating the heavi- CT and more experienced Oxford crew in the seventy-sixth revival of their historic race on the Thames from Putney to Mortlake. The light blues won by about { and one-half lengths.
 The official time was s minutes, 41 seconds.
 Make Fast Time
 The smashing victory of the Cam bridge crew, made up largely of unr seasoned oarsmen, over the much iouted Oxonian veterans stroked by w. F. Mellen of New York completely up- set the calculations of the experts. It was David and Goliath struggle and before the race the advantage had seemed to rest with the much heavier crew of dark blues, six of whom had rowed for Oxford before while the ight blues had only one veteran in he boat.
 The easy victory Of the Cambridge youngsters was won in fast time-the mark they made being only 12 sec ands slower than the record of IS minutes, 2s seconds held by oxford.
 cambridge's time of IS minutes, Al ,aeonds has been beaten only once in he history of the race--the occasion pn which Oxford established a record n 1911. Only three times previously in tho long series of races, in fact, has time better than 19 minutes been made.
 Cambridge Wins Toss
 Cambridge won the toss and chose lhe Surrey or southern side of the course. This choice was a surprise to many of the experts, as it was gen. rally expected the winners of the oss would choose the northern side, which afforded much protection from he wind during the first two miles nd at the finish. The Cambridge captains choice was nade after long consultation with l William East, the famous oarsmen, 1 nd with several of the old light blues. | Bright sunshine tempered the l aortheast wind and before noon large ! rowds already thronged the towpath ' long the course. The oxonians were strong fayoritcs Il the betting, at three to one, but here were plenty of Cambridge sup orters.
 Takes And Holds Lead
 At the mile mark Cambridge was cading by a quarter of length. With two miles covered Cambridge E as leading by two lengths. Oxford pulled up during the third mile, at he end of which the Cambridge ad- yantage had been reduced to one cngth, but during the fourth mile the fighter Cambridge oarsmen again pulled away and flashed over the line i wonderful winner.

r. c. Platt and R. S, Brown of this city and r. l.. Wilcox and Arthur
 F. Day Of Hartford have been selected as a committee Of the common stock holders of the New Britain Machine Co. 10 effect a reorganization of the company so that earnings may be ap- piled to the payment of preferred dividends.
 The company defaulted in the pay ment of dividend in 1891 and the preferred stockholders took over tho management of the concern. ln- debtedness has been paid and the fac- tory is now operating at a profit. There is still, however, a large capi- tad deficit and no distribution to stock. holders can legally be made while this condition exists. In order to apply earnings to preferred dividends an organization must be effected, The plan suggested is reduction in the preferred dividend rate from eight to seven per cent applicable both Co fn- ture dividends and unpaid accumulat- cd dividends, and a reduction in the common stock by the substitution of shares of no par value for the out standing shares of s25 par value. No change in tho management is to take place it is said and no plan will be put in force without the approval of the present board of directors.
 Proxies were sent today to the so permission may be voted the committee to proceed with work on the plan.

Earthquakes Cause
 Damage in England

Southampton, April 5.-Con- siderable damage has been caused in a number of places in this vicinity by earth tremors. In some instances the shocks were so violent that residents thought the city was being bomber. A number of chim- neys were thrown down, crash ing into the houses beneath them.
 London, April 5.-Severe earthquake shocks recurred last night in the Derbyshire coal fields and in the neighborhood of Alfreton. Shocks were first noticed at about II o'clock and were more violent than any Of those early in March when the earth disturbances were first noticed.
 Many buildings were shaken and windows yibrated loudly. The oscillations were accom- panied by dull noises similar to those produced by heavy lorries running in quiet streets or train in a tunnel. The yib tions were distinctly felt in mines.
 To the northward of AlfrYrT a the shocks were equally ma. and the people ran into the streets in alarm. Apparently little damage was done although the shaking of strata in the col fiery workings has caused some anxiety.

Atty. B. M. Holden Files Formal Com plaint Against Ap- pointment With Sen- ate Committee On. Post Offices.
Says He Can Prove He Put in the Most Corrupt Political System Ever Known in a New England City,"

Hartford, April 5.--"We claim and if permitted 10. can prove that he put in the most corrupt political system ever known in New England city," is the charge made against Arthur F. Connor of Bridgeport nominee for the postmastership in that city, in brief filed in Washington with tho United States senate committee on post of- fices and post roads by counsel for the opponent for the nomination and made public today by Attorney Bene- dict NJ. Holden,
 It is pointed out in the brief that after the Bridgeport board of relief had first its work and the board of aportionment had fixed the tax rate and the mayor had signed the rate book the book was sent to Connor as tax commissioner to enable him to send out his bills and collect taxes.
 Reductions Charged
 If Is claimed that connor without legal right reduced the valuation so made up in the grand list as follows.
 1917. s2,2S2.273: 1918, si.963.6f9: 1919. s3,oSS,77O: 1920, s2,O99,s0o.
 This was in addition to the legal reduction made by the board of re- lief. The brief points out that in his testimony by a committee connor ad- mitted tho following:
 That he acted without written complaint of any kind.
 2--That he made 10 public records and such as were made were kept under his personal supervision so that he could make explanation"
 5--That all books containing any records Of the transactions which he had in his office disappeared the night he left the office.
 4-That both he and his secretary were notified to return tho books.
 5--That the city attorney demand- cd return of the books.
 Was Publicly Accused
 e--That he was publicly accused of stealing the books to hide his mal- feasance in office.
 That he did not ask assistance of the police in finding the books.
 S--That he did not deny to the board of assessors or any one repre- senting them the charge that he or his secretary had taken the books.
 9--That books of a similar nature kept by his predecessor were kept in . vault but his were kept in his priv lte desk
 lo--That the charge of secreting he books to hide the record of his official conduct was publicly made.
 11-That he did not publicly deny he charge. Lawyers appearing in opposition to Connor confirmation maintained that though Connor had | vault in his office he says in his estimony that he never saw 1t locked ind in the four years he was in of- Ice he did not know whether it could ,e locked but told the committee his looks must have been taken by some- me who wanted to injure him and hat they contained records which we're valuable to him.

Connurs Makes Reply.

Bridgeport, April 5.--Arthur r. Connor's written answer to charges against him by persons opposed 10 his confirmation as postmaster Of Bridge port was filed today by his counsel. A. l.. Delaney. with the senate sub- committee which recently held a hearing in the matter. The brief up- holds Connor's conduct in his admin istration as tax commissioner and asks the committees approval of his nomination because the remon- strantss have miserabiy failed in their charges. not one of which has been proven, not even by the slightest scin- tilla of evidence"
 Attorney DeI.aney's brief for Com nor confines his argument 10 the question as to whether or not Connor 'as tax commissioner acted either H. legally or contrary to established cus- toms," The issuance of certificates Of error has been the custom in the city of Bridgeport since 1898 to the pres ent day and this Is admitted by the remonstrants" the brief says. Attor- ney Delaney points to similar proce- dure in vogue in New Haven and elsewhere and says the procedure is in keeping with the law.

Worm-Stunted Porkers
Will Make Poor Showing

All worm-stunted pigs are poor
doors from start to finish, but this is
especially true Of fall pigs that have
become infested with these pests
through filthy surroundings. If the
fall porker goes into the winter in a
stunted condition he most likely will
finish the winter in that condition.
Often it is hard to arrange lots so
that spring pigs can be raised on clean
ground, but this is seldom true in the
fall. Practically every farm has clean
stubble fields or hay fields which, with
their more or less abundant after
growths, make first-class places for
raising the fall pig crop.
The important point to watch in try
ing to raise vigorous, healthy bunch
of pigs is to see that they are kept
confined to the clean pasture area. II
they have the run Of old hog lots the
advantage Of the clean pasture ground
in keeping down worm infestation lis
lost.-R. ]. Liable, University of 1llt.

Three Cents Worth

At the Faculty club at Indiana uni.

fessors were discussing how they
saved the. pennies when they were
young professors The story that took
the prize was told by the head Of q
department. He said he ordered
three cents worth of meat from the
butcher for his cat. The meat was de-
livered at his house, but before II
came the cat had caught mouse, so
the professor called the butcher and
asked whether he would come and get
the meat and take it Understanding,
of course, the amount paid for it.
1t was reported that the butcher
took the meat back.-Indianapolis
