Further than a "man overboard."' the log of the cruise of the Portland Row ing Club from Salem to Portland, which lasted two days, ending at the club last night, showed little excite ment. Saturday night the members hunted up the Balem Canoe Club, and this took a great deal of ceremony. Commodore Arthur Allen ordered his packies to form in line, but he ordered the wrong kind of step, and the whole band marched through' the city "hay-foot-atraw-foot." The way led them past a dancehall, and the majority of the rrrw didn't get to the Canoe Club. The camp was established on the bank of the river a short way below the city. All got back from the night's excitement to get some of the break fast which the commissary department prepared. Th Portland men are grateful to the Salem Canoe Club for Its assistance. The canoes were shipped south on Fri day night, and when the Portland men arrived Saturday night the canoes were arranged carefully, ready for the start.

One or two member may find it necessary to go to West Virginia for a few days, but as many witnesses as possible will be heard from here. A Match for a Liar.

Counsel for New York were equally emphatic In declaring that Thaw would be released and seized for deportation". Both sides were prepared to fight to the last ditch Thaw's lawyers to keep him in Jail; New York's lawyers to get him out. Police arrangements, which were un der way today to meet possible pro Thaw demonstrations in the courtroom or on the street, were held In abeyance tonight, although it was understood that both the Dominion and provincial secret service and the Dominion and provincial uniformed forces would be on hand in case of emergency. Nice Problem Arises. The holding of the hearing in cham bers raises a nice problem that no one here tonight cared to solve off-hand. It was this: If the writ is sustained and Thaw automatically is set at lib erty, will the immigration officers have a right to enter the chambers and arrest him? IS. Blake Robertson, assistant super intendent of Immigration, now is ready to take Thaw in charge as soon as he shall bo liberated. The problem Is his to solve. With two assistants he will station himself In the courthouse cor ridor, just outside the chambers and watch the door like a cat. Those with the gambling spirit dom inant were wagering 2 to 1 tonight that the writ would not be upheld. At all these Jerome smiled, quizzically. Letters Threaten Jerome. Many letters threatening Jerome's life have been received by him since his arrival here, but he has made none of them public. Most of them were written by cranks, although one from Chicago had a particularly sin ister tone. While Jerome takes such missives lightly, having received thou sands at the time of the Thaw trial in New York, he is being guarded here constantly by private detectives re tained by the State of New i ork. unis afternoon a crank tried to enter his room, but waa steered away.

LARGE AUDIENCE LISTENS Viscount Haldane Says Fear or Pub lic Opinion Rather Than of Jus tice Is Great Force Actuating Observance of Law. MONTREAL, Sept. 1. The address delivered this afternoon by the Lord High Chancellor of England, Viscount Haldane of Cloan, formed the princi pal feature of the opening meeting In the American Bar Association. Vis count Haldane held an audience which completely filled the Princes. Theater and included many of the great legal lights of the . Western Continent and several from Europe. His theme was "Higher Nationality A Study in Law and Ethics." It was in many ways an epoch-making 6peech. dealing as it did with the relationships of three great nations. The Lord High Chancellor told how British law in the early days largely was vested in the sovereign of the realm, who had associated with him the Lord Chancellor as the executive of the king's justice. That ancient law was based upon experience rather than upon logic, he said, was a fact that had in fluenced the law and the constitutions of the three great nations England, France and America. Public Opinion Great Force. Chief Justice White, before Introduc ing Viscount Haldane, read a telegram from the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada, and the Du chess of Connaught, expressing regret at not being able to attend the ses sions of the Bar Association. The speaker argued that the great force that actuated mankind in ob serving the law was not fear of the officers of Justice, but fear of public opinion and that therefore public opin ion tended more than the arbitrary ex ecution of Justice to restrain men from lawbreaking. Developing this argu ment. Viscount Haldane proceeded to suggest that the same- policy might possibly be adopted by nations and that the time had come when nations might be as much ashamed to follow tho ancient methods of settling differ ences and disputes as individuals have become in late years. Frank B. Kellogg, president of the American Bar Association, briefly in troduced the presiding officer of the afternoon. Chief Justice White, of the United States Supreme Court, referring to him as a person who exemplifies the highest ideals of th American lawyer, and who has added luster to his pro fession, "by the manner In which he has presided with great honor and dig nity over the Supreme Court of our land." Applause Is Like Ovation. Justice White, turning to Viscount Haldane. said that the members of the American Bar Association jntertained the highest respect fur the Lord High Chancellor and all that his great office Implied. He added that there was no need to Introduce the Chancellor as his office and his fame spoke for them selves. The stage was decorated with the "Union Jack" as a center piece, the Stars and Stripes on the right and the Trl-Color of France on the left In honor of the eminent French Advocate Maltre La Bori. All the prominent lawyers had been greeted with applause when they entered the theater, but the climax to the enthusiasm came when the Lord High Chancellor, accompanied by Jo seph H. Choate, and Sir Kenneth-Muir MacKenaie, principal secretary to the Lord Chancellor arrived. The applause was so long sustained that it resembled somewhat the demonstrations in poli tical conventions. Frank B. Kellogg. ex-President Taft, Premier Borden and Chief Justice White also came in for ovations. At th conclusion of the afternoon session; McGill University conferred degrees of the lord high chancellor and a number of distinguished members of the legal profession.

Angela IV, Crown Prince's En try, Is Close Tp at Finish. MARBLEHEAD. Mass., Sept. 1. The three American boats defeated the three German challengers in the first of the international series of Sonder yacht races today. The winner was the Cima, owned by Guy Lowell, of Boston. The Sprig, owned by J. L. Saltonstall, of Beverley, was second and the Ellen, owned by C. P. Curtis, of Boston, was third. The race was a wind hunting affair from the slow, uninteresting start until the long, sleepy finish. At no time did the breeze hit up a pace of more than two miles an hour, and most of the way the yachts had only steerage way, Yachts Run on Triangular Course. The yachts were sent off in a tri angular course, with a beat of 2 miles and what was intended to be two reaches, but which proved to be a run and a reach, the yachts covering a!!S- miles triangle twice. The Americans defeated the Germans in the fight for place at the start and the foreigners began the contest with a handicap of nearly three minutes. Tbe Sprig obtained the best berth with the Ellen out ahead, but to lee ward, while astern came the Cima. The Angela IV had the best of it in the German fleet, with the Serum not far off, and the Wittelsbach X in the rear. Ths Cima never was headed after the first tack, although or. the last leg of the second round with victory almost within his grasp. Captain Lowell felt his chance slipping away as his boat drifted into a calm spot and almost lost headway. But a nice little puff came in from off shore in the last quarter of a mile and the Cima, draw ing ahead again, crossed the line amid a chorus of whistles and guns. Angela IV Often Close. The fight between the Ellen and the Sprig furnished the only excitement of the day although at times the Angela IV was very close. The Ellen took a lead over the Sprig from the start, but near tbe finish the latter began to gain and overhauled the Curtis boat ten feet from the line. Only the committee, sighting from flag to flag, was able to give the place to the Sprig by one second. The American yachtsmen were unanimous In their opinion that the Angela was the fastest of the foreign fleet and would prove a dangerous antagonist under other conditions. The Serum also was looked on as a factor, while much curiosity was expressed as to what the Wittelsbach would be able to do in a real breeze. Today's race upset the calculations of the experts who had picked the Wittels bach and Ellen as the best drifters. All except the crew of the Cima agreed that the contest was one of the most unsatisfactory that ever has been held in an International sonder yacht con test. Second Races Held Today. Tomorrow the yachts will sail the second race over a three-mile windward and leeward course twice around, or 12 miles for the circuit. The summary: Cima (American), Guy Lowell, 4:27:27.
