Jury Reaches Verdict In Forty
Five Minutes.
E. H.- Harrlman' Arrested at Boat
Race Kew York Legislature Ad
journs Increase In Franchise Tax.
To Determine Mrs. Eddy's Compet
ency In Memory of Longfellow.,
After 45 minutes' deliberation, the
Jury Saturday evening returned a
verdict of not guilty In the case of ex
Judge Wm. G. Loving of Nelson man
ager of the Virginia estate of T F
Ryan, who was placed on trlul heie
last Monday in the circuit co'irt of
Halifax county, for the murder of
Theodore Estes, the son of Shcriif M.
K. Kates of Nelson county.
Loving shot young Estes dead on
the afternoon of 'April 22d at Oak
ridge, after a buggy ride the dead
man took with the defendant s
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Loving, who
told hor father that her escort
drugged and assaulted her.
Harrlman Arrested For Obstruction.
Before the greatest crowd that ever
witnessed a race on the Thames river
the Yale crew, Thursday, averaging 4
strokes to the minute -less than Har
vard, kept abreast of the brg Cam
bridge crew until the last half mile,
and then cracked on speed and won a
great race by a scant boat length.
The race was marked by one dis
agreeable Incident. This was the ar
rest of E. H. Harrlman by Lieutenant
Ilillurd, President Roosevelt's naval
aide. Lieutenant Billard, who was in
charge of the revenue cutters, had
warned every boat owner not to fol
low the race. But it had scarcely
been started when Mr. Harrlman, in
a powerful motor boat, began to fol
low the shells.
Lieutenant Billard and Chairman
Schweppe, who were aboard the re
gatta committee boat, the "Arrow,"
repeatedly warned the. motor boat's
owner to stop his engines and get off
the course. Mr. Harrlman not only
paid no attention to them but took a
position alongside the referee's boat
and held It.
Off the navy yard Lieutenant Bil
lard signaled for a launch and tooted
tho revenue cutter whistle, which
finally caused Mr. Harrlman' to look
around.
"You are under arrest, sir," shouted
tho lieutenant. "You will give your
self up to this man who will take you
aboard the Gresham to await my or
ders." Mr. Harrlmun saw no more of
the race but was detained as an or
dinary prisoner aboard the Gresham
until after the race, when Lieut- Bill-
nrd released him. But he ordered Mr.
Harriman's motor boat tied up at the
navy yard. This incident may cost
Mr. Harrlman a fine of $300. This
was the penalty Imposed "on a yacht
owner during last year's race for
breaking the rules governing the
Long Legislative Session.
The 130th regular session of the
New Y'ork state legislature adjourned
without day at 2 p. ni. on Wednes
day after almost exactly one half
year (2G weeks) of continuous ses
sion, the longest regular session ex
cepting only that of 1881 Bince the
adoption of the first constitution of
the state in 1777.
The governor would not discuss the
subject of an extra session but there
are good reasons to believe that it
will not be called until after the
Fourth of July. It is generally sup
posed that it will be convened in the
week following.
Practically no serious, effort was
made to break the deadlock between
the senate and assembly on the sub
ject of apportionment and there was
no visible effect of the special mes
sage which Governor Hughes sent to
both houses Monday .night urging
them to pass an apportionment act
before . adjournment.
Cornell Won the 'Varsity Eight-Oared.
Cornell won the university eight
oared race of the intercollegiate regat
ta for the eighth time Wednesday In
tho most exciting contest ever rowed
over the 4-mile Poughkeepsie course.
Cornell's time was 20:02 2-5 seconds.
Columbia was second, United States
naval academy third, Pennsylvania
fourth, Wisconsin' fifth and' George
town sixth. Syracuse did not finish,
her shell being swamped a half mile
from tho finish line.
The Ithacans won by the narrowest
margin from Columbia. Until the
judges announced their decision, the
thousands of spectators afloat and
ashore were in doubt as to the result.
Syracuse Took Four-Oared Race.
Syracuse captured the honors of
the University four-oared shells from
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia,
which finished in the order named.
Syracuse finished two lengths ahead
of Cornell and her time over the two
mile course was 10 minutes and 37 1-3
seconds.
Wisconsin Wins Freshmen Race.
Wisconsin won the freshnieu eight
oared shells over the two-mile course,
leading Syracuse at the finish by one
length and covering the .distance in
9 minutes and 5G seconds. Pennsyl
vania was third, Columbia tourth and
Cornell fifth. Columbia rowed the
Inst quarter of the mile with an al
most water-logged shell, which fillet;
near the stern when three feet of
planking, was ripped out by striking
a -submerged log.
Increase In Franchise Taxea.
In Its certification to the local au
thorities of tho special franchise tax
assessments, the New York state
board of tax commissioners announced
an Increase this year of $126,543,733
as compared with the figures of last
year. The total assessments for thia
year are $540,092,992 as against $420,
649,259 for 1900.
The up-state assessments show an
Increase In the totals in every county
In the state except Franklin, whore
there Is an apparent decrease of $33,
600. This is accounted for by the
fact that during the year the Malono
waterworks system, which last year
was assessed at $100,000, has been
bought by the municipality.
There' has been general increaiw of
upwards of 25 per cent in tho aHf-ss-nients
against telephone companies.

pected that a day or two would be re
quired to find them.
French Proposition Strongly Opposed.
The French proposition presented
to the second committee (land war)
of tho peace conference at The
Hague on June 22 regarding the
opening of hostilities is strongly op
posed by the countries relying on
prompt mobilization, chiefly Great
Britain, Germany and Japan. The
proposition Is as follows: "The con
tracting powers agree that hostilities
among them cannot begin without
advanced and unequivocal notice, hav
ing either the form of a declaration of
war supported by facts or the form
of an ultimatum with a conditional
declaration of war. A state of war
must be communicated to neutral
powers without delay."

ident Stryker. At the alumni ban
quet he was given an ovation. Mr.
Root said in part: "I am a great be
liever In the benefits of college fra
ternities. The influence of the upper
classmen has saved many young fel
lows from going wrong. The fraterni
ties have done what the professors
could not do. They are necessary for
tho usefulness of the college." The
Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity closed Its
75th anniversary reunion Thursday.

BDYLAN
DISCHARGED
Was Suspected of Murdering
His Step-Daughter.
Wife Testified In His Favor, Saying It
Would Be Impossible For Him to
Have Been the Murderer Mother
Demands a Vigorous Starch For
the Slayer of Her Child.
New Y'ork, July 2. Thomas Boylan,
father of little Viola Boylan who was
assaulted and murdered several days
ago, was arrested by the police yester
day and taken before a magistrate,
but was discharged, there not being
sufficient evidence against him to
warrant his detention.
The arrest followed a Bearch of the
Boylan flat by detectives. The po
lice declare that the mattress of Boy
yan's bed shows blood stains and
that there are also, stains on the floor
under the bed. They also found staliu
on Boylan's clothing -which they be
lieve to be blood. No analysis has
yet tieen made.
When arraigned Boylan stoutly
maintained that he knew no more
about the murder of his child than
any one else. His wife testified in
his favor, saying that It was Impos
sible for him to have been the mur
derer. The suspicions of the police were
first directed to Boylan, who Is nn
epileptic, because of his strange ac
tions since the death of little Viola.
This caused the search and the find
ing of evidence considered sufficient
to cause his arrest.
Boylan Is about GO years old and a
cripple. The arrest was unexpected
as the police have been searching for
an unknown Italian who was said by
Viola' Boylan's playmates to have In
tercepted the girl on the street and
to have taken her into the wine cellar.
Several Italians have been arrested
and released on proof that they hud
nothing to do with the girl's death
After being missing from her par
ent's home for several days the girl's
body was found hidden in the coal
bin of the apartment house in which
she lived. Her mother has accused
the police of Inaction and demanded
that a more vigorous search be made
for tho murderer.

Agree to Submit Their Grievances to
Board of Arbitration.
Albany, July 2. For half an hour
early yesterday morning the employes
of the United Traction company on
the Albany and Troy divisions were
out on strike. For a time it threat
ened to develop into a serious tleup of
the road and probably a repetition of
the strike of 1901, which continued
for several days and during which
two lives were lost. At a conference
between General Manager Fassett,
representing the company and a Joint
committee representing the employes
of the two divisions it was agreed to
submit the dispute regarding the
wages of the men to a hoard of arbit
ration. The decision of the board Is
to bo final, thus averting further
trouble.
During the strike of 1301 it was
necessary to call out the militia. Two
of Albany's representative buslnoss
men were shot and killed by the
militiamen, while standing near their
places of business. The guardsmen
fired at a crowd of sympathizers, the
bullets striking the two men. A set
tlement of the strike followed soon
after.
