 The Columbian'S rowed to de- cisive victory three lengths over the uprising University of Washing ton boat as disaster overlook Cali ecrnia the worlds champions of last year, and three other crews.
 The shells finished in the follow ing order: Columbia, Washington, Pann, Navy, and Wisconsin.
 Darkness obscured the finish and it. was some time before the posi- ions of any but the first two was known positively All were water logged and the Washington shell nearly sank at the finish. Califor- -7ia swamped half mile from the finish: Massachusetts Tech swamp "a near the two-mile mark.

MEXICO REJOICES OVER SETTLEMENT
 CHURCH QUESTION
REIMBURSEMENT TO NEW CON- OPTIONS WILL REQUIRE
 CONSIDERABLE TIME

MEXICO CITY, June 25, R)-
 Amid much rejoicing in Mexico over the settlement of the church question, there stands out tribute ito Dwight w. Morrow, American Ambassador, for the part he played and which was successfully termi- mated. ThS Ambassador received
 messages of congratulations from Ian sides and open mention has been made of the fact that had he not intervened at the critical stage negotiations might have been brok- en off.
 The Ambassador also received letters threatening him with harm because of the part he played in the affair. He laughed at the threats, however, and went off to his sum- mer home at Cuernauvaca for the weekend.
 The people of Mexico are over
 ioyed by the turn; many seem una ble to realize the extent of their
 good fortune To comply with the legal aspect of the. agreement the
 Minister of the Interior has already
 advised the United States govern ment that the churches may be re- turned to the proper clerical au- lthoritieS.
 Readjustment to new conditions
 will require considerable time since many of the priests have lost con- tact with their superiors during the three years when they could not serve the church.

 TENTION WIRES

WASHINGTON. June 25. R)- The Treasury Department issued instructions to all collectors of customs along the Canadian bor- der to confine the armament of border patrolmen to the service pistol
 Patrolmen heretofore have been armed with rifles and shotguns where the situation seemed to warrant. The new order follows the sensational killing of Arthur Gordon, above PlattSburgh, New York, by customs patrolmen. The youth was shot while running 27 cases of beer from Canada in an automobile.
 Meanwhile another victim was added to the long prohibition enforcement list when Grady Phillips, youthful sawmill opera tor. was shot dead whenshe failed to heed the command of balllff Luke Ballenger to stop his auto near Tallapoosa, Georgia. Bailitt said he suspected there was rum in Phillips car but none What-so- ever was found.
 President Hoover dropped all legislative administrative business to devote his personal attention to a flood of telegrams coming from International Falls, Mime sota, asking for protection against overzealous patrol officers, following the killing of Henry Virkula, confectioner by border patrolmen.

 The report was received from a radio company which picked up messages from an unnamed British freighter. The rumor is considered improbable as it is unlikely the Franco craft could keep afloat that long.
 The opinion in Madrid is pessi- mistic and the fliers are regarded as lost altho hope is held they may have been picked up by a small vessel unequipped with wireless.
