TW0LEAD BATTLE
FOR REGATTACUP
Notre Dame and Ma ia I'd in
Front-DeIphine VIII in
Dramatic Spill.
BY JOSEPH A. FOX.

With roaring, driving battles that
brought one near-tragedy and several
minor mishaps the speed kings OF the
power boat world yesterday afternoon
launched the tenth annual Presidents
Cup Regatta before a gallery of thou
sands-ashore and afloat-that lined
the 2la-mile course of Hains Point.
Out of the welter came two leading
contenders for the Presidents Cup. the
prize from which the regatta gets its
name These are the 1885 champion.
Notre Dame, owned by Herbert Men
delsohn of Detroit, and Ma ia, I'd.
which carries the hopes of Jack Ruth
erford Of Port Washington, Long

chances to edge into the picture-Hot-
sy Totsy, Sd, entered by Howard Ben

Bend, Ind, and the 15-year-old FL
Lagarto. raced by George Refs Of Boil
ton Landing, N. Y.
The final test comes this afternoon,
when the end Of the regatta winds up
the racing season.
1t was the first heat of the grucling
45-mile test for the Presidents Cup
that saw disaster overtake one Of the
flyers and momentarily chill the spec
tators with fear of possible fatality.
Delphine VIII Turns Turtle.
Making a desperate bid to over
take El Lagarto, with 10 miles of the
15-mile heat completed, the veteran
Commodore Frithiof Ericsson. at the
wheel of Horace Dodge's Delphine
VIII, was travelling approximately
mile a minute on the straightaway
when suddenly the craft bucked. High
in the air Delphine VIII jumped. 1t
crashed to the water, leaped again
and then turned turtle, shredding
bottom and hull and catching Eric
son and his mechanic, Edward Nc
Kenle, underneath.
In q second rescue boats were on
the way, threading a path through
the speeding field, but it was fully
a minute before Ericsson and Nc
Kenzie were seen clear Of the wreck
age. The latter was bleeding from
the mouth.
Both were taken aboard the nearby
Coast Guard cutter Apache, serv-
ing as usual as the judges boat, for
first aid, and then Mckenzie was
removed to Emergency Hospital. It
was later reported that his only
injury appeared to be contusions
of the shoulders. from the terrific
force with which he struck the water,
but he was kept in the hospital over
night for observation and X-rays to
determine definitely the extent Of
his injuries
Ericsson, who has been driving boats
for more than a quarter of a century,
escaped with a slight cut in the fore
head, and commented. laconically:

with a legal mind that the police
cannot interfere with them as long
as Steve is allowed to sell his peanuts

The rumors were particularly dis

had Edward Dent, District surveyor,
search the records to determine def

Jurisdiction over East Executive ave-
nue., where Steve has conducted his
peanut business these many years.
Dent went through mass of plat

to the conclusion that while East Ex-

Pitts waited nearly q year after he
became eligible for parole before he
fled an application for release.

using them to convert to his own use
approximately $4,000, 900 of funds of
the F. H. Smith Co., the principal
business of which was the financing of
real estate.
Pitts claimed, the board said, that
at the time of his conviction there
was an understanding" he would be
granted parole at the expiration OF
one-third of his sentence.
If such an understanding existed"
the board said. "it is contrary to the
letter and spirit Of the parole law.

MORGAN FIRM TAX
ESCAPE REPORTED
100000 Van SWerin-
gen Deal Loss Held Offset
to 1885 Profit.
Ey the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, September 26.-The
Post-Dispatch, in a copyright story
from New York, said tonight partners
in the banking firm of j. p. Morgan
& Co. paid virtually no income tax to
the Federal Government on the profits
of that international banking firm for
the year 1885"
Quoting only an anonymous
Authoritative source" the newspaper
said, "The transaction by which the
Morgan firm wiped out 1885 profits
attracted wide attention at the time
it was made "a year ago). It was
the sale at public auction of the stocks
and bonds posted as collateral for a
loan, said to have been $4,000, 900,
made to the Van Sweringen brothers
by a group of New York bankers,
headed by the Morgan firm.
Loss Put at S43,0O0,0
1T was held in the auction rooms
of Adrian H. Muller g. Sons, Is Vesey
street, = famous as a security
graveyard The total realized by the
auction was S4,703, 900, which left the
banking syndicate with a loss re-
ported at the time to be $4,000, 900.
In taking such large loss through
the public sale of deprecated collat-
eral, the Morgan firm was able, for
income tax purposes, to erase almost
all of the profit that had been shown
in that "ear"
The newspaper reported "for a
number OF weeks experts Of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee,
which is conducting special inquiry
into railroad finance, have been in
vestigating the transaction by which
the Morgan firm rubbed out its prof.
its. Public hearings, which are
expected to dwell at length on the
affair Of Morgan g. Co., will begin,
it Is reported here, soon after the
presidential election in November"
Control Proof Sought.
The story asserted the Senate COM
mittee's investigators were seeking to
prove the Morgan firm did not ac-
tually relinquish control. but kept
strings tied to- the collateral which
carried with them domination Of the
Van Sweringen railroad empire Of
$4,000 miles-"a system equaled only
by the government-owned network in
Russia"
From sources close to the Morgan
firm" the newspaper said, it had
learned every precaution was taken
to make the deal, legally. just what
it seemed to bean open-and-shut
sale at public auction"
F. A. o. Schwartz acted for the
Morgan bank and other creditors at
the sale, the story continued. L. p.
Ayres acted for the Van Sweringens,
and the stocks were sold to him.
Financial hackers who made it pos
sible for the Van Sweringens to regain
control of their railroads were identi-
fled by the newspaper as G. A. Ball,
a Muncie, Ind, manufacturer, and
G.. R. Tomlinson, Cleveland ship
owner.
