Harvard, In a snappy two-mile contest over the Thames course to-day. The Tale men led from start to finish and though Harvard made a game rally in the last quarter of a mile the Crimson crew could not over came Yale's lead. Yale caught the water first and with a fast stroke opened up a lead of a length at the half-mile mark. The two crews rowed a clean stroke and there was little splashing. Harvard increased her stroke. Yale shook off the challenger and at the mile had a lead of nearly a length. Xear the finish Harvard came strong and cut down Yale's advantage foot by foot. Yale, however, shot over the finish line with one-third of a shell's length to spare. The unofficial time was: Yale, 10.4; Harvard. 10.43. The freshman eight race was post poned until this afternoon. The crews were at the starting line when a wind sprang up. The race will be rowed after the big varsity eight four-mile race this afternoon. The varsity race will start at 4.30 o'clock. Weather and water conditions were ideal this morning when the second varsity rowers put their shells over board for the race. Both the second vprsity eights and the freshmen eights of Yale and Harvard were early on their way to the starting line off the navy yard and the coaches reported everyone fit and ready. The ob servation trains on both banks of the Thames were crowded. Thousands Gather for Regatta The thousands who form the most picturesque setting at any American Icegatta began to gather along the course before the sun mounted to the first quarter mark of Its course.. The nlght-before arrivals were astir early, but soon lost their prominence in the swarms of spectators who came into town by every form of transit. Special trains from east and west, motor cars, excursion boats, steam vechts and sailing craft, all con tributed their share and long before the starting time for the junior eights races the principal streets, railroad stations and water front were scenes of Indescribable confusion, color and clamor. Alumni and under classmen from the rival universities gathered parties of pretty girls, matrons and children to points of vantage on shore, observation train and yacht decks from which to watch the struggle of the junior and senior oarsmen in the three races. Colorful Spectacle The colors of the rival colleges were evident on every hand in the form of flags, arm bands, feathers, balloons, confetti and paper streamers. Ticket speculators stood ready to supply ob servation car seats at prices ranging from $lO to S2O each and did a hustling business despite the hundreds of per cent, profit they charged. There was little change over night in the actual racing or wagering sit uation. Even money prevailed on the varsity four-mile raee, with Harvard a slight favorite In the junior and Yale In the freshman contests. The coaches reported a quiet and uneventful night at both camps and the regatta offi cials stated that every detail for con ducting the race had been completed.

Altogether eleven farms were visited vsterday and of that number only two could be said to be in bad and un healthy condition.

June 25.—Counsel for Charles Becker considered to-day tho advisability for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court to save Becker from execution In the week of July 12 for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. It was reported that either a writ of error or habeas corpus may be re quested on the ground of newly dis covered evidence. Either writ would automatically stay the execution. A letter written to Becker's counsel by a prisoner now in Sing Sing prison asserting that he overheard part of a plan by Jack Rose, Harry Yallon and "Bridgie" Webber to "frame" Becker may be the basis for the proposed appeal. KAISER TO EXEMPT PASSENGER SHIPS? Willing, if Washington Will Guar antee Vessels Will Not Carry Munitions Special to The Telegrafh Berlin. June 25.—There are good prospects that the forthcoming Ger man note to the United States will go a long way toward meeting the American government's wishes re garding Germany's conduct of subma rine warfare and making passenger traffic on the high seas safe. While It is stated that submarine action against hostile merchantmen will not and cannot be abandoned en tirely. It is increasingly probable that the German note will embody some proposals to exempt ships employed wholly or principally in passenger traf fic from submarine attack. Such ships, it Is said, of course, would be subject to stoppage and ex amination by submarines, in accord ance with the practice in vogue prior ito the present war, and to capture if carrying contraband, but the regular rules of the prize law. particularly re garding the safety of passengers and crews, would be observed. Berlin, it Is understood,wants Wash ington to guarantee vessels will not carry munitions and on this condition will observe the rules of prize law in vogue before the war started.

M. —The Berlin Tageblatt has re ceived a dispatch from its correspond ent at Lemberg descriptive of the sit uation in that city which reads: "Reviewing the nine months' rule of the Russians in Lemberg, it is found that among the chief suiTerers in the Galician capital were certain former government officials, whose salaries could no longer be paid. Prominent families were reduced to begging in the streets and compelled to satisfy their hunger in the kitchens of other people. Well-known men of Lemberg chopped and sold wood, while their wives baked and peddled bread and cakes around the city." HARRISBURG, PA,.

Mil., .Tunc 25.—Six per sons, four of them Haltlmoreans, wort killed, and a dozen more or loss seriously Injured wlien the Blue Moun tain Kipprsg and the Fast Mall of the Western Maryland Railway crash ed together on a bridge one hundred feet high, over Owen's Creek, a few miles west of here last night. The dead are: Mrs. W. Edwin Chip chase, Baltimore; Walter N. Chip chase, her son, 27 years old, Baltimore; Coleman Cook, engineer, Baltimore: C. R. Fritz, traveling fireman, Hagers town; J. R. Hayes, fireman, Baltimore: Luther Hull, baggageman, Hagers town. Injured seriously: J. R. Sendregraft, Baltimore, fireman, leg and ribs broken. The Blue Mountain express, west bound, was late. If on time. It would have passed the mall, east bound, not far from the point at which the wreck occurred. The change in the schedule, in the course of which a mixup in the orders given the conductors of the two trains is said to have occurred, resulted in bringing the two trains to gether, both running at high speed on the bridge, which spans a mountain ravine, through which the creek runs over a rocky bed. So great was the Impact that the two engines were almost completely telescoped. Locked together their combined weight held both to the track and perhaps prevented a greater catastrophe. The baggage car of the Blue Moun tain Express In which Mrs. Chipchase. who was an invalid, accompanied by her son. was riding, lying in a reclin ing chair, was torn from its trucks and thrown to the bed of the creek. The Pullman parlor car Immediately back of the baggage car, veered near the edge of the bridge, but did not leave the rails, its occupants escaping practically without injury.

Captain Francis Clark Harrington, Instructor of mathematics at West Point, and during the latter part of the administration of President Taft mili tary attache at the White Mouse, made up his mind long ago to remain a bachelor. His friends were convinced that his decision was unalterable. His association with mathematics, which is a notoriously cold science, confirmed them in this opinion. But Captain "Pink," the name by which he is known to the West Point cadets because he is so carefully and fastidiously groomed, has become a victim of Cupid. He will wed Miss Eleanor Crozler Reyburn, daughter of the late John K. Reyburn, former mayor of Philadelphia, and niece of General William Crozler, chief of ordnance of the United States army, June 30. Captain Harrington was graduated from West Point in 1909. When the captain was transferred to West Point to take up his duties as an Instructor, it was noticed that there was an increase in the bulk of mail that left the academy post offiice for Washington daily. And the increase was not credited to business of an official character. Miss Reyburn was living in the capital city.
