Contests Seen as Captains
Claim Supremacy.

NEW RICHMOND, Ohio, July 25.-A
revival of the days when frequent and
spirited steamboat races decided SUI
premacy of the river was looked for
today by river men as a result of the
victory of the Chris Greene, Ohio River
packet, over the Betsy Ann
The Chris Greene brought thousands
of spectators who lined the banks of the
river late yesterday across the gang
plank of time, when river rivalry was at
its height, by nosing out the Betsy Ann,
its challenger, by two lengths in a 20
mile race up the Ohio.
The winning Side-wheeler completed
its course in 2 hours and IS minutes,
averaging approximately eight miles an
hour. This was nearly five miles an
hour less than the record set by the
Robert E. Lee when 1t raced the
Natchez from New Orleans UP the Mis-
sissippi to st. Louis in June, 1870.
Has Two New Challenges
The Chris Greene already has two
challenges for races for the pair of gild-
EIDE elk horns which the Betsy Ann,
packet Of the Pittsburgh e. Cincinnati
Packet Co, had won in hard-fought
battles on the Mississippi.
One is from the Tom Greene. flagship
of the Greene Line. and the other from
Capt NJ. O. irwin, master OF the Senator
Cordhill of Pittsburgh.
Crowds of cheering spectators greeted
the racers as they pulled up here at
dusk last night The two steamers were
helching clouds OF black smoke from
their twin tunnels and their whistles
were shrieking.
When the boats were brought to a
stop. Frederick Way, president of the
Packet Co. challenger OF the Chris
Greene, brought the elk horns aboard
the rival and presented them to Capt.
Chris Greene, who had commanded his
own craft
The race started at Cincinnati at sos
o'clock. The Chris Greene had been at
anchor there awaiting her rival. The
Betsy Ann pulled up on the starboard
side and finally nosed up even with the
Chris Greene With sirens shrieking
wildly, both vessels plunged forward.
Lead Cut Down.
The race started neck and neck. but
the Chris Greene soon took lead and
increased ii TO two lengths at the half
way mark 1t was 800 feet ahead at
New Palestine, five miles further on.
but Capt Charles Ellsworth of the Betsy
Ann cut 1t down again to two lengths,
the margin of victory.
The contest followed challenge by
Way after Greene boosted he could beat
the Betsy Ann ANY time" He made
the boast when newspapers reported a
victory Of his boat over the Betsy Ann
last week
In making the challenge Way offered
the gilt-edge horns as a trophy for the
victory.
The Betsy Ann was launched in 1915
and measures ITO feet by IS. She car
ried $50 passengers, while the Chris
Greene, built In 1924 and measuring 1870
feet by 40, carried $50.

Colndr. Hansen. who was next in

HELD BY SHERIFF
HouSekeeper for Wealthy
Family in Sanitarium After
Sale to JeWeIer.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.--Jewels worth
$3.50 900 reposed in the safe of the
sheriff of New York today. having been
seized from a Fifth avenue Jeweler to
whom a housekeeper for a wealthy
family sold them.
The Jewels we're purchased from the
Wanamaker stores in Philadelphia and
New York by Mrs. Maria J. Leslie and
charged to her employer, Mrs. Isaac e.
Emerson, wife OF the head Of the Emer-
son Drug Co. Mrs. Leslie sold them to
Harry Winston. Fifth avenue jeweler,
for 500 1000. They were seized from him
on writ of replevin taken out by
Wanamakers, which claims the jewels
have not been paid for and were bought
from the store without authorization.
Purchases Not Authorized.
Mrs. Leslie for many years possessed
the right to make purchases for the
Emerson family on memorandum and
charge accounts. Her recent jewel pur-
chases were so large, however, that
Wanamakers became alarmed and
cabled Capt. Emerson. now in Europe
with Mrs. Emerson. asking IL the pur-
clases had been authorized. He an
swered in the negative.
Attorneys for Winston said the jewels
were purchased by him in good faith
at what he considered fair price.
Mrs. Leslie, they said told Winston
that Mrs. Emerson wanted to raise
some money in hurry to aid rela-
tive who had lost heavily at the gam
ing table, and took that means because
she did not want to ask her husband
for funds.
The jewels were seized from Winston
In melodramatic manner. He had de-
manded profit of $4,000 on the
transaction, because, his attorneys said,
his reputation had been injured by the
Investment.
Woman i'm Sanitarium.
Appearing to accede to his demand
the deputy sheriffs who went after the
Jewels took two checks. one for 500, 900,
the other for $4,000. Presenting the
checks, they first asked for an inspec-
ton OF the jewels before payment,
When the jewels were handed TO them,
they served the writ of replevin, pock-
eted the checks and rushed the jewels
to the safe of a nearby hotel.
From there the jewels we're taken,
under guard. to the sheriff's Office.
The sheriff. according to the law,
will hold the jewels for three days. II
at the end of that time Mr. winston
has not posted bond of 81 900 900. they
Will be returned to Wanamaker's to
be held by them pending adjudication
of ownership.
Mrs. Leslie is in a Connecticut sari-
tarium No criminal action Is planned
against her, pending return Of the
Emersons from abroad.
