Tale's time for the three miles was 14:50H.
Harvard's 14:59.
Makes Last Gallant Sport.
Harvard, In passing the three-mile flag,
made Ma last spurt. Although reeling In
his stretcher and the Harvard crew splash
ing water In his face. Captain McQrew
raised his stroke to thirty-four, but even
at that gait Harvard could not catch Tale.
For a few strokes the Harvard shell gained
a trifle, but before the three and a half
mile flag was reached Captain McGrew had
been compelled to drop back to thirty-two.
Harvard was now tired and Tale began
to gain on every stroke.
' Tale's - time for the three and one-half
miles was 17:21; Harvard's, 17:34. Over
this half mils Tale had Increased the lead
by 4Vi seconds. -'
It was now only a question of lengths.
Harvard cheers died away and the broad
Thames resounded with one grand "Yale,
Tale, Tale," while from the decks of 200
yachts . tlo cannon were booming forth a
salute to the victory and a "bravo" for the
vanquished.
Finally the flag dropped at the finish and
' the watches' recorded 3:19 for Tale and
a:29 for Harvard. - -
. Time Near Record.
" It was Tale's' race by three good lengths,
a cl6se, hard finish , within 8 seconds of
the .fastest.: dme that any crew 'has ever
made on the Thames course. Captain Mc
Grew, who' rowed for Harvard as gallant a
race as 'any man' ever', rowed for any col
lage, foil over limp on his uar, while Duffy
sank dowtt In the hell from sheer exhaus
tion. Swain, at bow, had also, rowed out
the last ounce of his ;power and' his oar
slipped. tram his. hands.-. Tale, strong with
the nerve 'which victory gives, pullsd on
below the great drawbridge for two or three
. lengths before the coxswain called his men
to rest.
Then " a' remarkable Incident happened.
Stroke Bogue, who had rowed like a demon
all the way, threw , hit ear1 .out from his
'chest and sprang from his seat into the
river. ' . . . '.
"Man! overboard!", yelled the crowd as
Bogue came up from his plunge, and struck
out- like a racehorse to meet the . Tale
launoji. which was coming down the course.
Head Coach Kunslg and John Kennedy met
Bogue half-way and pulled him Into the
launch,' The Yale stroke, after that long
race, was apparently aa freah as when he
started Into it.
Freshmen Sprint All Way.
The story of the freshman race Is that of
a long sprint by Tale's stalwart youngsters,
alth Harvard clinging to their heels in a
plucky fight. The race was started within
a few seconds of 12 and was rowed down
stream over the last two ,mlles of the
course from the navy yard to the draw
bridge. In this race, as In the 'varsity race. Har
vard rowed a higher stroke than Tale,
while the latter took a thlrtj-two to the
minute gait and hung to It with scarcely a
variation in the whole two miles. Tale got
the best of the start and never lost the
lead. ...
The Ells finished the two miles in 9:43V4.
breaking the old record or B.67. which has
stood since 1893. Harvard also broke the
old record this sfterrioon. Its time for the
two miles being 9:48. Tale led Harvard at
the finish by just about two and a quarter
lenflths...
Fob re Battle Hard.
- In the 'varsity four-oared event Harvard
gave Yale another, terrific struggle. In this
race the Ells had tq make a vigorous fight
to get the lead. Yale started off at thirty
six to the minute. Harvard at thirty-five.
Although contrary to their Instructions, the
Tale four stunk to this gait to the end of
the half-mile and never got down to their
normal gait of thirty-two until the end of
the mite and a half. Harvard started in at
thirty-five and held it for almost a mile.
when It had to drop down to thirty-one.
Tale finished the first half-mile In 2:46
Harvard In 1:49. Tale's time for the mile
was 6:1S; Harvard's 5:45. Tale's time for
tho mile and a half was 8:26; Harvard's

Yale won the race, . actual measurement.

The two crews finished In fine form with

new record for this event on the Thames,

DEPENDS UPON KiNG PETER
Protest is Made Emphatic by Withdrawal
of Ministers.
POWERS INSIST UPON SOME PENALTY
Kerr Kins; Takes Oath and Solemnly
Swears to Keep ike Welfare
of His People Con
stantly In Mind.
BELGRADE, June 26,-Klng Peter this
afternoon confirmed the appointments of
the existing ministry. ? , .
PARIS, June 25. The-French minister to
Servla has reported- -the circumstance at
tending the departure of the ministers from
Belgrade as follows: '
All the ministers received similar Instruc
tions to act together. Accordingly an
understanding was ; reached - that they
should depart, this stD being regarded as
the most emphatic method of Impressing
tne powers protest against the assassins
tions of King Alexander and Queen- Draga.
The Russian and Austrian representatives
apparently shared lij the principle of the
protest, but did not withdraw became
Russia and Austria wer apprehensive that
a united withdrawal of the entire diplo
matic representation ' at Belgrade would
precipitate another revolution. '
The officials here say the entente of the
ministers to Servla now becomes an entente
of the powers in expressing a protest. The
duration of the absence of the ministers
from Belgrade Is Indefinite and depends
mainly on King Peter's Course in the i
lection of his ministers and the terms of
Servla's notification .to the' powers of the
Inauguration of the new regime. .
Kins; Peter Takes the Oath.
BELGRADE, June iS. Amidst great
enthusiasm King Peter this morning took
the oath before the Skupshllna. - Subse
quently he held a review of the troops.
, The oath by fhe king was In the following
terms: ..
I, Peter Karageorgevltch, on ascending the
throne of the kingdom of Servla and as
suming the royal prerogative, swear by the
Almighty uod and by all that is nollest
and dearest to me upon this earth that I
will protect the Independence of Servla and
the unity of its government: that I will
maintain Inviolate the constitution of the
country; that 1 will govern In conformity
with the constitution and the laws; and
that in all undertakings and dealings I will
keep the welfare of my people before my
eyes. Taking this, my oath, solemnly be
fore God and the Deonle. I call aa witness
the Lord God, to whom I shall give account
at tne judgment seat., ho neip me uoa
Amen. .
Previous to the king taking the oath
there was a Joint sitting of the Skupsh
llna, attended by a religious service, at
which the metropolitan officiated. ..
The president of the Senate opened the
Joint session with the announcement that
the king would take the oath to maintain
the constitution. King Peter then appeared.
wearing his orders and other decorations
and accompanied by the cabinet ministers,
The metropolitan uttered a brief prayer
and then read the oath, which the king re
peated In a Arm vqlce. Loud cries of "long
live King Peter"; punctuated - the .king's
repetition of the oath.
After the metropolitan had bestowed the
benediction all present Joined in the na
tional hymn. The king took leave of the
assembly with -the words:' "God be with
us, brothers."
Regicides Likely, to Kscape.
On the parade ground four regiments of
Infantry, two regiments of cavalry, four
field batteries of artillery and one horse
battery were drawn up before a large
crowd of people in carriages, on horseback
and on foot. A pretty pavilion on the
ground was lilted with ministers and their
families. Both the Russian and Austrian
military attaches were present.-
King Peter, wearing a general's uniform
and mounted . on a white horse, formerly
ridden by the late King ' Alexander, and
surrounded by a brightly uniformed staff,
took up a position, in front of the pavilion,
while the troops marched past. They were
a fine body. of. men.
King Peter, after the march past rede off,
followed by shouts of "Long live King
Peter!" He returned direct to the palace,
cheered everywhere along the route.
Purlng' the day "the ' king - had several
conferences with the ministers and a royal
proclamation was Issued and was well re
ceived. .. ;
It is believed .the question of punishing
the regicides Win 'be allowed to' lapse,
though it was remarked today that Colonel
Mlchln, minister ' ot ' public works, who
took a leading part' in the assassination,
kept in the background during the cere

EL MOCHO JS RECOGNIZED
Noted Revolutionist Is to Represent
Venesnela aa Minister to

NEW TORK. June . It Is reported
from what are considered to be good sources
that ths Venezuelan government intends to
re-establish Its legation at Washington and
that General Jose Manuel Hernadez (El
Mwho). is to receive ths appointment.
Venesuela has been without a minister or
legation at Washington for over three
years.

cumbent. Since then Augusto P. Pulldo. ss
charge d'affaires, has had rhargs In Wash
ington el. zalaor diplomatic deuUa lor. toe
Venezuelan government. President Castro
has refused to appoint an envoy on the
ground that the country could not bear the
expense.
The probable selection of General Her
nandei caused great surprise among the
local Venezuelan here, It Is only a few
months since he was liberated from prison
in Maracalbo, where he was confined for
starting a rebellion. He was set free at
the time of the recent trmible with Ger
many and Great Britain, thst he might
flght for his country. -
General Hernandez Is about 60 years of
age. The sobriquet "El Mocho" (the
maimed) was given to him because of a
crippled arm, the result of a battle In one
of the many revolutions In which he has
taken part. He is a carpenter by trade.

ing the country to find him.
The negro came to the Mehrlng farm and
asked for something to eat. His descrip
tion, while being identical with that which
Annie Green gave, tallies also with that

PROTEST GOES TO RUSSIA
Pres dent Decchi to Forward Petit;on of
the B'nai B'rith.
ASKS FOR COPY OF THE DOCUMENT
fcffect I'pon the tsar and the H e
sponse It Will tiring; Forth Can
not lie Forecasted by
State Department.
WASHINGTON. June 2o.-Ths president
has derided to transmit to the Russian gov
ernment the petition presented to him by
the executive council of the B'nai B'rith
regarding treatment of Jews In Russia.
This action has been taken after ma
ture consideration. At first it was decided
that the petition should not be presented,
because it might be resented by the Rus
sian government and lead to a response
that will cause a break In the relations of
the two countries. However, the first con
clusion has been reconsidered and by direc
tion of the president the petition will now
go forward.
What the result will be Is problematical.
As Indicated In the following note from
Secretary Hay to Simon Wolf the presenta
tion will probably be made to the Russian
government through the United 8tates
charge at St. Petersburg. The note reads:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHING
TON. June it. Dear Bir: The prenldent has
concluded to transmit to tne miHpian gov
ernment the petition of which you pre
sented him a draft on the 15th of this
month.
The matter which he had to conelder most
seriously was whether or not such a pro
reeding would be to the advantiige of your
persecuted and outraged co-relialoniBto In
Russia. On this point he has decided to
accept your opinion and that ot tne nu
merous and Intelligent groups of American
citizens of the Jewish faith whom you
represent.
He request that you will send him the
petition In due form at your earliest con
venience. Of course, you will understand
thRt the president rannot tell vou what re
ception your petition will meet with at the
nanus or tne miswian government.
I am, sir. faithfully yours, jmmin mai,
Hon. Simon Wolf. Washington. D. C.
The petition which will be transmitted to
the Russian government Is the one which
the executive council of the B'nai B nth
handed to the president as a tentative -doc
ument to be signed by leading citizens of
the United States outside of federal ofttce
holders.
It is expected that it will take about two
weeks to secure these signatures, work
along that line already being in progress,
Upon learning that the government of the
United States had decided to forward the
petition to the Russian government. Count
Casslnl went to the State department and
ctnsulted with Secretary Hay.
Russia May Snub America.
The ambassador's call was shorter than
usual, but 11 led to the official announce
ment that the government intended to for
ward the Jewish petition to the czar.
At the White House conference on the
15th the Jews made the point that the czar
was kept In Ignorance as to the condition
of the Jews in his empire by the bureau
crats who surrounded him on all aides,
and they were sure that If the president
would only once assist them in laying their
case before the czar himself he would at
once adopt measures to alleviate their con
dition. The president at that hearing
promised to do what he could.
It was at once perceived that to do what
was asked involved the danger of a short
reply, and a disposition developed to regard
the full publicity which had been given
the White House conference as sufficient,
for It was assumed the czar could not fail
to see some of the newspaper comments.
The Jews, however, were not satisfied and
this, president decided to adopt the bold
course of sending the petition directly to
the czar through the United States em
bassy at St. Petersburg. Officially it is ex
pected the document will thus be received,
but privately It Is stated there have been
no lack of intimation from well Informed
sources that the czar will never be per
mitted to see the petition, as the Russian
foreign minister will not receive it for
transmission. In fact, It Is realized that
the Russian position Is still correctly de
scribed in Count Casslnl's words of June 9:
Neither will It be possible for Russia to
receive any representations regarding tne
Klshlneff Incident from a roreign power.
The Russian government takes the same
position as that long neia ny tne Ameri
can government, namely, that it rerrams
from interrerenca in me niienmi un
of another power and must Insist on sim
ilar treatment ror useu.
If Russia refuses to receive the petition
Mr. Riddle, the United States charge at
St. Petersburg, will have to receive the
rebuff, as Ambassador McCormlck has not
yet returned from his hasty visit to Chi
cago and It Is possible that what happens
at 8t. Petersburg when Mr. Riddle under
takes his disagreeable task may Indefi
