Gales Ferry, June 21.—A heavy rain flattened out the roughness of the water on the Thames river today and the Yale crews had a good chance to row. In the downpour the varsity and junior varsity went on a seven mile paddle with two sprints toward the end of a quarter of a mile in which the varsity crew beat the juniors each time by a full length. The freshman and combination crews also went outy covering 9 miles with several sprints towards the end, in which the fresh- | men had the advantage.

From a stream normally 200 to 300 vards wide and 18 inches to six feet deep, the Rio Grande has become 50 feet deep at the flood crest and from three quarters to a mile wide. The flood is the result of a cloudburst last Saturday. Those familiar with the lower Rio Grande valley, much of which is bare- ly above sea level, fear that the upper flood will spread far beyond all previous marks. Greatest damage is feared to growing crops. Red Cross relief for the flood dis- trict already is under way. Hundreds of Mexicans living in Eagle Pass low- lands have lost all belongings while at Piedras Negras, across the river the food situation is admittedly serious.

Under the terms of the amendment the tariff commission would be ene larged to ten members and would be required to recommend to Congres not later than December 1, 1923 and each six months thereafter rates of duty necessary to equalize the dif- ferences in conversion costs as dis- closed by investigations which it ucation."

Get Hooper's Reply Rail workers and their leaders to- day were digesting the reply of Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the railroad labor board to the nine union chiefs who informed the board a strike would be authorized if the referendum favors a suspension of work on the roads. What effect Mr. Hooper’s statement that the proposed strike would be dis- astrous to the railway unions, unfor- tunate for their members and unjust to the public would have on the bal- loting the remainder of the week was a matter of conjecture. Mr. Hooper’s letter, which was ad- dressed to Mr. Jewell, said the strike vote should not be taken on any mis- understanding of the action or atti- tude of the board and asserted that the ultimatum of the union chiefs manifested “a strikingly distorted con- Red Top, June 21.—Rain fell so heavily all morning that Coach Howe decided he would not send out the Harvard crews.

At the time |1 he signed his contract last winter it was understood that he also was to receive a substantial bonus for each home run. Umpire Dineen in the report which brought Ruth's original three day suspension said the player had called him one of the vilest of names. “There is no player in the Ameri- can League who can call one of my umpires like that and conduct himself in such a disgraceful manner on the ball field and get away with it" Mr. Johnson sald. “The umpires are in charge of the ball games and their authority is go- ing to be respected by every man in the league,” he added.

In a prepared address explaining his amendment Senator Frelinghuysen declared the present tariff making system was both illogical and un- scientific.” Describing that system as “a complication of the statements of manufacturers, importers, merchants and farmers and of inconclusive data collected by government agencies in- adequately equipped’ the senator said the public mind was thoroughly awake to ‘“the abuses of this system and to the necessity for reform.” Offers No Apology. Asserting that in offering his amendment he was not apologizing for the present tariff bill, - Senator Frelinghuysen declared that to’ his mind the measure was as good as could be prepared under the circum- stances and should be passed as quickly as possible in order to re- move from business the uncertainty that now existed. for Ailing ception of what the board has done and why it did it.” Mr. Hooper said although he felt no reply was required he also felt it his duty to answer the union leaders in the interest of railway peace and be- cause the threatened strike ‘contains such possibilities of loss and detri- ment” to the strikers. DOCTOR DEFENDING USING OF WHISKEY Madre was said today by the authori- ties to have been accused formally of bigamy in Indianapolis, Detroit and New York and Boston. It also was announced that his ‘“wives” had charged him with defrauding them of thousands of dollars. Mrs. Ethel Turner Osbaldeston, ar- rested with Stewart is alleged, accord- ing to a detective agency to have posed as Stewart's sister and arranged the several marriages of which he is accused. The two are held on the specific complaint of being fugitives from justice from Boston. UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAWS Clubs The New Jersey senator argued that his amendment would ‘vitalize” the tariff commission and would remove its members from ‘“personal and party pressure” by establishing a fundamental principle for fixing rates. Also he said, it would give the commission the time, the money and the authority to frame such a bill as would afford actual, not merely sup- posed protection to American induse try and American labor. . ALDERMAN PAJEWSKI TO JOIN BENEDICTS Found Eating Grass, New Bedford, June 21.—This old whgling city, accustomed for gener- ations to hearing strange tales of the sea and the men who follow it, added another story to its annals today. It centered about the mysterious ap- pearance of a battered schooner hulk and a tattered half starved man lboard her close to the shore of West Island yesterday. The man, emaciated and with a heavy growth of beard when found eating grass on the beach by a sum- mer visitor, could only tell the police today that he had drifted to the is- land and that he had recently been | in Boston and New York. His name, | he said, was Osmund Ericson, and his address “the water.” His unseaworthy craft, 30 feet over all, was lying close in 'Oi the shore.

Anti-Saloon league of the attitude of the medical profession toward whiskey for use in illness was denounced by Dr. H. N.

Whiskey, he added, is a valuable tonic for aged people or a remedy for sudden shock. Most physicians, he said, hope for a time when much of the “red tape” is eliminated and when they will be trusted enough to prescribe whiskey as they would any other medicine. Excessive use of cosmetics {s com- ing to be a national menace, not only to complexions but to health as well, Dr. Willam L. Lathrop Love of Brooklyn told the convention.

FEAR RUSSO-GERMAN PACT - Trench See Threat of Military Alli- ance in Visit of Mission to Moscow —Think Plot is Hatching. Paris, June 21.—French official cir- cles are considerably concerned over the arrival in Moscow of a German military mission of which Col. Bower, chief aide to Gen Ludendorff, and Col. Hentza, an assistant of Hugo Stinnes, are members. The officials say they have reason to believe the military men have gone to Moscow to make a survey of the goviet army with a view to a possible military accord between Germany and Russia. The presence of German officers in Moescow and the recent warlike utter- ances of X7 Freundze, chief of staff of the bolshevik army, are regarded with significarn.ce by the French officials. and the girls decided that their money would be spent for open air pleasure at any rate—so they contributed it to the Fresh Air fund, and we ac- knowledge it today. In addition, there has been reced the check for $100 which was prom- ised by the New Britain lodge of Elks several days ago, and which aids in swelling today's total. A consider- able sum, not enough, however, has been given to the committee by indi- viduals who have been approached with requests for aid. It is the hope, though, that many people who will not be approached will be willing to | help send needy youngsters on an outing of two weeks at the camp, and the Herald is handling those contri- butions. 1t takes little argument to con-! vince one that the children are much | benefited in health by their vacation, besides the pleasure that théy derive.
