from tho honm mark on n broad reach
with a southwest wind, Constitution lead
Ihk by about two minutes. Ab thoy ap
proached tho btakoboat black clouds which
bad been gathering In the northwest
brought with them n small rain squall and
uudden "hango of wind. Constitution was

Immediately after take tho northwester,
which lifted It out Into the middle of the
sound, while Columbia was making for the
mark oloso-hnuled on tho port taok In
tho very lost wind of tho first northwest
equall. This gave Constitution nn oppor
tunity to tako advontago of tho westerly
wind, which followed out In the sound,
whllo Columbia lay almost becatmod at the
mark, This settled tho race, for there
after Columbia was hopelessly out of It.
Tho contest of speod was altogether In
the first round, while the wind, which was
nt all times light, held thus. On every
leg tho new boat gained and maintained
Us reputation as a wonderfully fast yacht
In Boft airs, Hut Columbia, with Its perfect
nails, was also' going fast and In tho first I
fifteen miles the new boat oniy mane up
twenty seconds over ItB time allowance.
Tho most noteworthy spectator of the
race was Captain Sycanioro of Shamrock

It was his first view .of tho American boots
nnd he got a very valuable line on the light
weather qualities of his rival.

ARION, la., Aug. 10. (Special Tolegram.)
An unknown man was murdered last nlRbt
along tho rlght-of-wny of tho Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. 1'aul railroad, ono-half
mllo west of this pluce. The murder wub
evidently committed with a coupling pin,
as tho dead man's head wuh split open anil
a largo pool of blood wns found near tho
rlght-of-wny fence, together with a coup
ling pin covered with blood except whero
held by tho murderer's hand. The deed was
committed about 10 o'clock last night. Tho
body was first discovered by a train crew
on a Mllwnukcu freight train. Tho mau
had evidently been killed near tho right-of-way
fence and tho body dragged to tho
track so that passing trains might obliter
ate slgnB of tho crime.
A man hns hecu arrested on suspicion
at Mapleton. Ho had blood on his hands
nnd on his handkerchief. Tho murdered
man was in Arlon yesterday. Ho
was fairly well dressed and was
thought to be a card shark, ng ho
spent the afternoon mnrklng a deck of cards
which wero found near tho scene of the
murder. Tho coroner's Jury Is now hold
ing an Inquest. Upon tho body was found
a notebook with the address of T. V. Cle
ments, 707 South Twenty-fifth street, South
Omaha. Ho wns known to have had mchoy
and It is supposed tho crime was commlttod
for purposes of roobery.
Sheriff Hell goes to Mapleton this nftor
noon to securo tho auspect arrested there.
Two negroes wero seon near tho scene of
tho crime about 11 o'clock last night and
they will he arrested. The murdered V n
was about 35 years of age, medium holght
and weight and has close-cut Bandy hair.
He had several fair admission tickets in his
pocket bearing tho name J. F. Love.
At the Clements home In South Omaha a
Bee reporter was told that the family was
all accounted for, but that tho murdered
man was probnbly a friend named Lovo,
who visited them several days recently and
who set down tho address n a notebook
when he left.

HOW SCHOOL BOARD STANDS
(Continued from First Pago.)
to tho council committee the secretary of
tho board called me up by telephone and
asked me It I would sign It. I told him that
! I did not approve of the action of a bare
' majority of tho board In getting together
In secret cnucus and taking action llko
this, which will bind tho board without
' giving opportunity for full nnd free dis
cussion. At the tlmo wo passed tho reso
lution calling for a grand Jury I was under
J tho impression that such a body was tho
only ono authorized to make such an In
vestigation. Since thnt tlmo I havu dis
covered that under tho charter of tho city
tho council is tho body authorized to mako
Investigations of this chnracter and there
fore I would not havo signed tho letter
even If 1 had known about it from tho
I llrst. I believe now that It Is tho duty of
; tho niemberH of tho school board to appear
I before tho commlttco and tell what thoy
know about the matter. From what I can
learn no member of tho board claims to
I havo personal knowledge of nny corrupt
practice, but some of them say that thoy
know men who claim to know of such
practices and it Is certainly their duty as
honest citizens to glvo those names to the
commlttco of tho council. They claim that
ihey fear tho committee was organized for
tho purpose of whitewashing certain of-
! fleets. If thero Is any disposition ot this
kind on tho part -of tho commlttco and It
carries out that plan that evidence given
before tho committee will bo public prop
erty and then the majority of tho peoplo
of the city will sustain the bonrd in Its
demand for n grand Jury. In voting for
tho resolution as offered by tho flnnnco
committee I wns only doing what I believed
proper under tho circumstances, for the
men who signed that resolution aro roputa
ble cltlzons, whoso word Is entitled to
credence,
N, M. Howard I signed tho letter with
tho other member of tho board, I have
not given much thought to tho question of

think tho law should bo changed if It now
so provides. 1 know nothing of tho fncta
tn tho caso of tho alleged diversion of
fines ono way or 4ho other. I voted for
tho resolution, believing that If no ono was
to blamo In the matter investigation would
not hurt them.
Morris Levy I decline to state whether
or not I signed tho lettor. I am not In
favor of rovivlng tho line system. I do
not think that tho resolution Introduced
by the flnanco committed had for its ob
ject tho Increasing of tho revenues of tho
Board of education.
JoIi'nHon Doesn't Remember.
Theodore Johnson I don't know whether
I signed tho letter which wont to tho coun
cil committee or not. I signed a letter pre
sented to mo by Secretary Burgess, which 1
understood was to authorlzo him to send a
letter written along the linos ot the one
published In the papers, but It may bo that
It was tho letter Itself that I signed, for
I never read It. As to a return to tho tine
system I cannot say, for I havo believed
all along that it was a matter of enforcing
tho Inw. As to tho unanimous voto on the
resolutions calling for a grand Jury, wo
had tho report of a commlttco appointed to
Investigate tho matter and we went ac
cording to that.
Georgo T. Nicholson Yea, I signed the
letter. I would havo to consider tho ques
tion of n return to tho flnb system boforo
answering. My reason for signing tho let
ter was that tho matter had beou consid
ered by n commlttco of tho board which
had decided that a grand Jury should bo
domanded to Investigate the question and
tho board had never nBked tho council to
tako tho matter up. An Investigation would
hurt no ono if no one Is nt fault.
Robert Smith I signed the lottcr, hut I
do not know anything nbout tho matter.
Wo left It to our finanoo commlttco and I
havo nctcd solely on its recommondatlon.
I am decidedly opposed to reinstating tho
lino system.
