ELI At FINISH
Of J. Y. RACE .

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 16
Harvard and Yale shared hon
ors in the first two races this
morning of their seventy-first an
nual regatta on the Thames, the
Crimson squaring the count
shortly before noon by sweeping
down the river to a thrilling,
quarter length victory over Yale
in the junior varsity contest.
Previously, Yale had scored a
hollow victory in the freshman
race, winning by almost four
lengths.
Both races were held in that
informal, go-aS-you-please atmos-
phere that usually prevails dur
ing the. preliminary contests,
thousands remaining back in town
where they will wait until time to
board the observation train for
the big varsity race late this
afternoon.
In so doing, they missed a
heart-warming finish, which saw
the Harvard Jayvees come on
with a rush in the closing half
mile to win right on the line.
The distance of both races was
two miles.
Crimson Responds
Yale got away to a flying start
In. the Jayvee race and was a
length out in front at the mile.
Harvard began to come on at this
point and at the mile and half
mark they were practically nose
. to nose. Yale still held tenaci-
ously to a slender lead as they
neared the outer edge of the
Sub-base, but Stroke-Oar Samuel
S. Drury. jr., of Concord. N. H.,
called on Harvard for a dying
finish and it responded gallantly
to row Yale down in the final
brush to take the lead and win
by a quarter of a length.
The victory Of the Harvard
Jayvees raised the Crimson hopes
for third triumph over the Ellis
in the classic four-mile dual to
be rowed down stream to the rail-
road bridge at 7:45 tonight.
Mishap Ruins Chances
In the freshman race, a mis-
hap in the Harvard shell less
than a hundred yards after the
eights had passed the mile
marker spoiled what chances the
Crimson cubs had Of a victory.
From the train it appeared as
though Bill Prout, number five,
caught a crab, while some ex-
pressed the belief that he had
gotten his slide up in under him.
Whatever it was, the Harvard
crew appeared demoralized for a
few moments, but recovered and
finished the race with three full
lengths of open water between it
and the winning Yale eight.
The Yale freshman eight was
stroked by Horace Havemyer, jr.,
Of New York city. After the
race both freshman crews rowed
back to the Harvard quarters
at Red Top, where the defeated
crew surrendered their shirts to
the victorious Yale freshman
eight.
Yale won the first race of the
annual series when an Eli COM
bination shell swept to victory
over the Crimson sweepswingers
by a two-length margin in a
tWo-mile race last evening.
Jayvee Times Fast
The Harvard Jayvee outfit was
timed in 11:49 is as it flashed
across the line. Yale was only
three-fifths of a second behind.
In the freshman race, Yale did
1906 2-5 for its two miles; Har-
ward, 12:262-5. Yale led all the
way here, passing the mile mark
at $50, as against 6:06 for
Harvard.

 Aldrich's program would dis rupt the board of directors of al- most every major bank in New York. including his own, and would force absolute separation of commercial banking and invest ment banking. It would prevent issues, and thus remove all temp tation for a commercial banker to encourage speculation.
 The Aldrich program was an- nounced in long statement which revealed that Chase National was preparing to divorce its investment affiliate, the Chase Harris Forbes Corp, largest bank investment affi- Hate in the world. Thus Chase follows the lead of the National City Bank which announced a similar separation of bank and securities affiliate Thursday night.

Merchants Are To
 Get a Good Break
(Continued from Page 1)

From all parts of the city com- ments of praise and appreciation have been received concerning the merchants of Waterbury for their courteous accommodations of hum dreds of factory workers who were puzzled as to how to dispose of their checks. The tributes are for the merchants in general. Due to orders from headquarters, owing to a lack of small change or for personal reasons, perhaps some business men decNnedf yes- terday to accept the cheeks caus- ing some confusion, but the situa- ton on being studied or explained was not productive of any ill-feel- ing.
 A meeting of the Waterbury Clearing House association was held this morning, but no action was taken. As to the opening of the banks it all depended, so it was explained, on congress actions to- day and on the views held by Gov ernor Wilbur l.. Cross and his spe- cial banking committee. Whether the holiday will be extended to Monday or later will be determined by word from Washington and Hartford.
 However, the plan as outlined above was prepared for adoption tomorrow. It will help out an em- barrassing situation. It will aid merchants, trolley company off, cials, hotels, theaters and other inconvenienced by the flood of checks and the dwindling supply of ready cash.
 All the banks are open for the disposal of trust business and for the. convenience of holders of safe deposit boxes. All local industrial banks have reopened to receive payments only.
 There is little possibility of Wa terbury attempting to circulate scrip. Federal currency as pro- posed by President Roosevelt is viewed by the leading bankers as more practical and more accept able in the present emergency.
 Hundreds of reports are circu- lated as to plans of President Roosevelt and congress, but few are disturbing the general public. The same evidence of confidence and optimism noticed last Monday still prevails. The fact that the city of Waterbury and the factories paid on time proved an encourag- ing feature. The inconvenience of changing the checks will pass within a few hours it is predicted. Some of the banks are making ef- forts to help small business firms by providing their pay-rolls for them over the weekend. Huge sums are impossible however.

 Zangara chuckled when Armour was asked why didn't you jump on him and stomp him down?"
 Dixie Herlong, stenographer, told of the examination of Zangara aft CT the shooting, and of his ques- tioning by Sheriff Dan Hardie.
 At the examination, Miss Herlong said, Zangara talked freely. and there were no threats made.
 During the testimony, the prison- CT seemed far more interested in the telegraph instruments imme- diatly behind him, than in the evidence which probably will send him to the electric chair.

battle for his life was read. Zan- gara listened intently, but other wise showed no concern.
 He first entered a plea of guilty of intent to shoot Roosevelt, in which attempt he did shoot and kill the Chicago mayor. Defense counsel moved that second count, of intent to hit Cermak, be drop ped.
 The defendant was questioned by the states attorney when he ap- peared before Judge Uly O. Thomp- son to plead on the indictments re- turned by the grand jury follow ing the death Monday of Mayor Cermak.
 "Your name os Joseph Zan- gara?" he was asked.
 "Giuseppi, Italian, Joe, English, same ting, same ting," he replied.
 Zangara stood tapping his foot. his arms folded as the charge was read to him.
 DO you, Joe Zangara, plead guilty or not guilty?"

 Immediately following the formal plea of guilty. Judge Thompson or dered testimony to be taken to sat- isfy the court of the prisoners guilt. Under the Florida law a man cannot be sent to the electric chair until proof of guilt is estab- lished to the satisfaction of the court. Judge Thompson, therefore. had the discretion of imposing a life sentence, or death in the cleo tric chair.
 States Attorney N. Vernon flaw thorne of Dade county, leader of the prosecution, agreed to drop the second count, as requested by de- fense Counsel Lewis M. Twyman.
 Under Florida law, it was ex- plained, 8 plea of guilty to either count is equivalent to guilt under both counts. The Florida law is not concerned with whom the as- sassin intended to kill, so long as he pleads guilty to intent to kill someone.

"Our first task is to reopen all sound banks" the president said.
 President Roosevelt omitted all details from his message, desiring to strike broad and heavy blows at his objective.
 He dealt with the additional currency plan in one sentence:
 'T ask amendments to the fed eral reserve act to provide for such additional currency, adequately se- cured. as it may become necessary to issue to meet all demands for currency and at the same time to achieve this end without increasing the unsecured indebtedness of the Government of the United States" K This was construed as a warning Against mere printing press money.
