I, July 9.—The three “American cup yachts, Resolute, Vani- tle and' Deflance, were fog bound in Newport harbor today and the regatta committee of the New York Yacnt club decided at 12:30 that there was little prospect of ‘the fog.lifting ana ithey: declared the contest postponea until, tomorrow. /The three hoisted their mainsails early today and then idled at their ‘moorings in Brenton's Cove waiting for a thick, wet fog to burn off be- ' fore starting out to the starting line ‘of the second race of the Newport serjes. The fog drove in from the sea all night and the wind dropped out.

Harlan of 1llinois, a member of .the interstate commerce commission, has booked passage for Europe on July 24 and the rate decision, it is said, may not be, ready much before then. It is understood Mr. Harlan has writs ten the decision. It is predicted the full Increase asked for will be grant- ed on only a few classes of mer- chandise, that small increases will be allowed on others, but that no change will be made in rates for commodities —coal, grain and other staples form- ing a large part of railroads’ ton-'| Who Wrote Rate Decision hage. The result, as a whole, is ex- pected to be only moderately favor- able. It is’' rumored that on certain essential features of the case the commission is divided, four members favoring certain advances in rates ana the other three disagreeing. A ‘‘split” opinion is looked for. Wall street agents here say business in the street will not pick up until the decision 1s made public. If it is anyway favor- able to the eastern rallroads which demand an average 5 per cent. in, crease in freight rates a big boom In railroad securities is predicted. ot A U S : CONTINUED TILL TUESDAY.

(Bridgeport Post.) The common council showed good Jjudgment ‘last evening in amending the ordinance relative to newsboys. The original law placed the age limit at twelve years. The amendment makes the limit ten years, This is within reason. It is particularly wise for vacation time. The old proverb that Satan finds mischief for idlg hands to. do applies as much to boys and girls as to older persons. It is not good policy for a child to have | ten to fifteen hours of idleness for three months in the ‘year after he reaches the age of ten vears, There is nothing that we know of 80 conducive to good training for children as to teach them how to earn their living, and there is no way that we know of that is so admirably suit- ed for such training as selling news- papers within reasonable hours. Ry this we do not mean that boys shouid ‘sell them all day and half the night, but, they can be allowed to carry routes for others or for themselves ‘within the limit of time in which the morning and evening newspaper is is- sued. Thousands of boys in this country have gained their start in life in this way. Connecticut has a living former governor who sold newspapers. t eight years old. Where one boy injured as the outcome of such ser- vice, hundreds are benefited. We ven< ture to say that ten tlmes as many boys go Wrong who hdve nothing to do, compared with the little hustlers who get the spirit and enthusiasm which goes: with newspaper delivery as they rise at five in the morning to g0 on the early routes, and as they appear on time in the afternoon o carry the evening issues. There are many of these newsboys Wwho educate themselves in this way and they earn in wages by working about four hourg a day in the open air as much as boys of fdurteen and sixteen earn by working nine and ten hours a day in the stifling factories. The republicans must gain ninety- one congressmen in order to get a | bare control of the house in the sixty- fourth congress. They expect to get it after this fashion: Fifteen in Il- linois, thirteen in New York, twelve in Ohio, seven in Indiana, ten in Penn-~ sylvania, four in Connecticut, two in California, two in Colorado, four in club's courts went into the third round teday in‘the morning play, and the * comsolation singles, and the matches.in doubles were begun.

Massachusetts, two in ‘New Hamp- shire, two in Iowa, three in Kansas, two in/Maryland, four in Missouri, two in Montana, eight in New Jersey, and enough others to make the total over 100.—Bridgeport Post. . OPPOSES WARBURG FOR RESERVE BOARD ‘Washington, July 9.—Paul M. Warburg will not serve on the fed- eral reserve board unless the senate and currency committee recedes from its determination to *“‘quiz” him in regard to his previous banking connections. President Wilson seeks to have the committee retreat from its position. Warburg’s stand in the case, as indicated b)r his telegraph messages to Senator/Gilbert M. Hitch- cock, acting chairman of the senate banking and currency committee, is the result not of his unwillingness to be ‘“quizzed,” as has been popularly supposed, but of the alleged discrim- ination between him and three other nominees for the reserve board, whose names were confirmed without a personal examination. Of the five men selected for the board W. P, G. Harding, A. C. Miller and Charles 8. Hamlin were confirmed by the senate without question. There was much difference of opinion, however, as to the confirmation of Warburg and Thomas D. Jones of Chicago. Conse- quently they were asked to appear before the committee. Jones ap- peared and told of his connection with the International Harvester company and with the New Jersey Zinc company, both so /called trusts. ‘Warburg immediately wrote to Presi- dent Wilson asking that his nomina- tion be withdrawn.

Putnam, July 9.—After whistling through a keyhole of an office in the Central Block, and being asked why he did it, a poorly dressed man went out, crossed the street to a drug store, bought ten cents’ worth of poi- son, drank it and died a few minutes later in the hallway of the block. While the man was staggering about from the effects of the poison per- song who saw him thought he either had a flat or was crazy and a doctor was called. The only clue to the man’'s identity was in his statement that his name was Donnelly, that he had walked from North Scituate, R. I, 27 miles, during the night, and that he was looking for a man. Nothing was found in his clothing. He was either a laborer or a mill operative, about 30 years of age, and weighed 135 pounds. HELD FOR ROBBERY.
