YALE WINS IN L Captures All Three From Har vard in Regatta. BULLDOG BY FIVE LENGTHS Victory a Notable Feat For the Eng lish Thole Pins, Taken To New Haven By Nickalls, the British Coach. New London, Conn. For the first time In many years Yale University crews swept the river In the annual dual regatta with Harvard. Notwith standing delays due to rough water and accidents the English coached eights of the Blue, with characteristic bulldog determination, fought for vic tory from early forenoon until dark, defeating In turn the junior, varsity and freshman eights of the Crimson. Victory was ixceedingly sweet to the Ells, for the lntervarslty regatta records have to be searched for many years to find a Vale triple victory, al though similar hard successes are of more frequent and recent occurrence. To add to the Joy of the Blue the varsity eight established a new up ativam course record in winning the big race. Delayed Over Hour. . Only one race, the Junior varsity event, was started on time. The four mile varsity contest was delayed by rough water one and one-quarter hours and the freshman race postponed from forenoon until after the feature event. Then a broken oarlock necessitated the first-year crews rowing a race at one and one-half miles In almost total darkness. Regardless of the delays, one of the largest regatta crowds that has gath ered at New London in a decade fol lowed the fortunes of the crewg loy ally, applauding the efforts of both winners and losers. The entire four mile course, from the railroad bridge to Bartlett's Cove, was lined with steam yachts, sailing craft and motor boats, until in plac es the racing crews were hidden from those on shore and train. Fully lO.OoO spectators witnessed the. contests from the observation cars which followed each race along the banks of the Thames, while the river shores were thronged. It was a great day for Yale and a great day for New London, for it was demonstrated that the lntervarsity boat races between lala and Harvard are still one of America's sixirt classics.

ANNUA RACES HEROES IN EVERYDAY LIFE iutyriKiii.i 1HE BRITISH NOIE EVADES THE I55UE Declares Americans Have No Substantial Grievance. THE NOTE UNSATISFACTORY Note Sent Through Ambassador Page States That Time Limit On Ex ports To This County Ha Been Further Extended. Washington. Lord Crewe's memo randum to Ambassador Page dealing with the complaint of detention of American cargoes bound for neutral ports was made public by the State Department. State Department officials would not comment on the memorandum. In the opinion of experts on International law who have followed the con troversy between the two govern ments, the memorandum Is not of a character to afford much satisfaction. It holds out little expectation of ma terial relief to American commerce from the hardships inflicted upon it by British regulations established In violation of the principles of interna tional law, as pointedi out by the United States in Its note of March 30. Consequently Its effect, it Is believed, will be rather to sharpen the edge of the Issue between the two govern ments. Another note to Great Britain is now in course of preparation at the State Department and is expected to be dispatched as soon as the negotia tions with Germany over submarine warfare have been cleared up. While this communication probably will make reference to the latest memo randum, it is understood that the man ner of enforcing the Order In Council will not be treated as relevant to the question at issue whether there Is any warrant in International law for the powers that Great Britain and her allies have assumed to exercise over the commerce of the world. Protest To Be Strong. Against this arbitrary policy of the British government the American note will protest as vigorously as was the note to Germany demanding an end of the murder of Americans on the high seas. President Wilson will be equally firm demanding an end to the present throttling of American com merce, and it is believed here that there Is nothing in the British note Just made public which will produce any change In the present tenor of President Wilson's next note to Eng land. FLIERS CRASH ON MOUNTAIN. Fast Mail and Blue Mountain Express Come Together. Thurmont, Md. Six persons, four of them Baltimoreans, were killed and a dozen more or less seriously injured, when the Blue Mountain Express and the Fast Mall of the Western Mary land Railway crashed together on a bridge, 100 feet high, over Owen's creek, r. few miles west of here. The Blue Mountain Express, west bound, known on the railway schedule as train No. 11, was late. If on sched ule, It would have passed the Fast Mall, No. 10, eastbound, not far from the point at which the wreck occurred. The change in the schedule, in the course of which a mlxup In the orders given the conductors of the two trains is said to have occurred, resulted in bringing the two trains together, both running at high speed on the bridge, which spans a mountain ravine, through which the creek, a shallow stream, runs over a rocky bed.

THE GRANDFATHER EI5 Unanimous Opinion of the U. S. Supreme Court. VIOLATES 15TH AMENDMENT Effect Of Unanimous Opinion Likely To Precipitate Suits To Re'move Franchise Restriction In Several States. Washington. The Supreme Court of the United States dealt a death blow to the "grandfather clause," which, as a part of their registration laws, Is employed to bar thousands of negroes from voting in many of the Southern States. The unanimous opinion of tba court, as handed down by Chief Jus tice White, applies only to registra tion cases coming from Oklahoma and Annapolis, Md. It can, however, bo made, applicable to other Southern States which have adopted this clause as a part of their election machinery, If some Interested party makes an at tack upon it in the Supreme Court. As a result it is now anticipated that immediate steps will be taken to knock out the "grandfather clause" In North and South Carolina and in Mississippi. Upholds 15th Amendment This is the first time that the Su preme Court has passed upon the validity of one of the most effective weapons used by the Southern States to bar the ignorant negro from par ticipating In elections. The court has passed upon cases having an indirect bearing upon efforts to restrict suf frage, but it has never before handed down an opinion directly bearing on the "grandfather" clause. In its opinion, the court unanimously sustains the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, prohibiting discrimination against negroes in elec tions because of their "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The court, however, pointed out a way by which a State can restrict suffrage if it sees fit. It held that a State can apply the literacy test to persons seek ing to register for elections or seeking to vote, but this test must be applied with an equal hand to both white and black. The "grandfather clause" of both (the Oklahoma and Maryland enact ments was designed to restrict negro suffrage. In Oklahoma the clause was written in the State Constitution and j applied to FecVral, State, county and I municipal elections. In Maryland the clause applied only to municipal elec tions at Annapolis and has no bearing j whatever upon Federal or State-wide i elections in that Commonwealth. This clause provides that any per ' son whose grandfather was not a , registered voter of any State cannot I register. The "grandfather clause," as written In the Oklahoma Constitu i tlon, was copied from the North Caro lina law. It is a product of the mind of Senator Simmons, of that State, who led the fight 25 years ago and overthrew negro domination of bis Commonwealth. As can be readily j seen, only a few negroes can produce : evidence that their grandfathers were voters, and as a result, the black vote was wiped from the registration books in wholesale lots. 1916 CONVENTIONS TO CHICAGO.

WILD FLIGHT OF RUSSIANS Cologne Gazette Correspondent Says Russian Units Became Disbanded In the Rush and the Army Deteriorated Into a Mb. Berlin. The long, desperate cam paign in Galicla has ended in the fall of Lemberg, the capital, and a notable Austro-German victory. The War Department's official re port says: "Lemberg was taken by storm by Austrian troops. Tho positions bo tween the Dnelster at Mlkolalow and Lemberg were also taken. Further north, the line east of Lemberg Zoltan Ceturynka, northenst of Zolkiew, was reached during the pursuit at Kawa Ruska and to the east thereof. "The situation remains unchanged in the San and Vistula districts and to the left of the Upper Vistula. The Russians are beginning to retreat." Stormed Positions. An official statement Issued at Vienna describes the fighting imme diately preceding the fall of Lemberg as follows: "The Russians' defensive positions to the south of the town have been completely broken by our troops. Some fortifications on the western and the northwestern front of Lemberg came Into our possession after violent fight ing, in which the Vienna Landwehr particularly distinguished themselves. "German troops stormed the posi tions west of Kltllkow and north of Lemberg repulsing all the Russian counter attacks." The news was received with great Jubilation In Berlin. Saved Some Artillery. A special correspondent of the Cologne Gazette telegraphs that the Russians, before the general retreat began, hurriedly sent back all the artillery they could move. This was done Instead of endeavoring to cover the retreat of the artillery and saving all of It. Part of the cannon were use less on account of poor ammunition. Continuing, the correspondent says: "It was after the artillery had been sent to the rear that the panic-stricken troops began their fight. WagonB and supply trains blocked the roads. Men detached the horses from these vehicles and rode many of them, heed less of the crowd of soldiers of all arms crowding back to the rear. Gen erals and colonels were helplessly carried away. Units were disbanded and the army became a mere mob. It was readily to be seen that catas trophe was unavoidable." A report given out sets forth that since June 12, 60,000 Russian soldiers and nine Russian guns have been cap tured. Emperor William has given the Archduke Frederick, of Austria, the rank of Field Marshal in the Prussian army in recognition of his services in the campaign which resulted in the fall of Lemberg.
