\e\\i of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 YALE MAKES CLEAN SWEEP IN FRESHMAN AND JUIVIOR VARSITY RACES ON RI VE Exh Crew Omwhelm-| ingly Superior to Har-! vard Rivals, Freshies Win by Five Lengtlls' and Juniors by Five and Half Wearers of Blue Confident Varsity Also Will Come Through Vietorious—Big Race Scheduled for 7 p. m, | By The Associated Press. Regatta Course, New London, June 22.——Yale swept to overwhelming vie- tories this morning on the Thames river in the freshman and junior var- sity races, opening féatures of the 56th annual regatta between these traditional riv: Vale is Superior The Blue freshmen optstripped the Crimson yearlings by fully five lengths in the first event while the Eli junior vareity shell crossed the finish line five and a half lengths ahead of its Cambridge rivals. Both races were rowed over the upper two mile course from the navy yard to Bartlett's Cove, It was the first time since 1920 that Yale has scored a clean sweep in the morning races over the picturesque Thames course, and Ell supporters, confident of the mettle of their un- defeated varsity eight in the blue rib- bon four mile race this evening, had high hopes of a triple triumph, Harvard The decisiveness of Yale's victory came as a distinct surprise as both Harvard crews, particularly the fresh- men were highly regarded by rowing experts. The Cambridge eights got the jump in both races but their ad- vantage was short lived. They were distanced each time before the half way mark had been reached and were rever able to challenge the Blue's lead. Yale's freshmen had an open water margin soon after the half mile mark had been passed in the first race. This margin was increased to two gnd a half lengths at the mile where Har- vard's last challenge failed to cut down the Blue's advantage and the New Haven yearlings gloubled their lead in the last mile. ° The official NEW BRITAIN HERALD WALL T, CLEAN-UP ON; hory Today Occurs Only Hall| Mile From Tesmor Home EXPULSION flf MEMBER cHicAGo POLlGE INTERESTED DEATH TOLRRAS BEEN BIG| IDEAL NAN MUST HAVE Chicago, June Four men ee- P.

Orders Seiz- ure of Stock, Despite Seals of British Customs —England Admits Right. Washington, June 22.—Treasury of« ficlals, learning that the British steam- er Baltic had arrived at New York with a supply of liquor under seal declared that the New York customs officiale had instructions to seise all such stores and that there should be no question of their authority to pro- ceed at once against the Baltie. One of the many elements in the situation on which treasury ofclals | are doing little talking 4 the question whether ships which bring in liquor under seal shall themselves be con- fiscated under the clause of the Vol« stead act authorizing seizue of -cone traband carriers.

London, June 22,—It is declared in well informed quarters here that the | British government in no way chal- lenges the authorities of American of« ficlals to break British consular seals and confiscate the liquor aboard ships it being recognized that the jurisdic- tion of the British government in the case of liquor or any other goods sealed at a British port ceases once the three mile limit is passed. Baltic Slips In By The Associated Press, New York, June 22.—While treas- vry department officials today were concentrating their attention on the Berengaria, the Baltic slipped into Quarantine with 6,182 bottles of liquor under British government seal for her next east-bound voyage in de- flance of American dry regulations. Mellon Orders Upon announcement that the Cun- arder Berengaria was coming here to- day with sealed liquor to test the treasury department ruling that no liquor except for medicinal purposes must be carried across the three mile 1imit, Secretary Mellon from Washing- ton ordered his agents to board the Britisher and selze her wet goods. The fact that the White Star liner Baltic also was defying the dry edict apparently was not known to the Am- erican government officials for no dry agents were at Quarantine to meet her. List of Iiquor Supply The Baltic reached Quarantine while the Berengaria was reported ap- proaching Sandy Hook. The Baltic's east bound liquor sup- ply comprised: 5,720 bottles of beer and u.. 306 bottles of spirits. 119 bottles of wine. 38 bottles of liqueurs. It was placed in a separate com- partment in the hold and bore four British customs seals, which were in- spected daily by the ship's officers. Except for this supply, the Baltia arrived bone dry. A few bottles pro- vided for the iest-bound voyage which were not consumed were dumped overboard at the three-mile limit, While ship's officers had been or- dered by their line to "keep mum'™ it was understood at Quarantine that action by American authorities might |be expected when the captain pre. | sented himself at the custom house with his manifest.
