HANG Oil TO RAIL
WHEN BOATS HEEL
By James B. Connolly
(Copyricbt, 1020. by raited N-ws)
New , York, July the
weather sharks uptown said there
would be wind off Sandy Hook to
day, but wljen our destroyers slipped
In there Just before starting time It
was a cold fog: rolling" off the ocean,
and from out of the fogr came the
shrieks of what sounded like a
thousand steamers trying: not to run
each other down.
But the fog rolled by. and after an
hour's postponement It was time to start
the race, and across the line went the
racers in the usual light air, and with
the green boat getting her usual start
that 18, to leeward and behind the Reso
lute. .
The talk last night was that after ler
experience of Tuesday the Resolute was
going to ship one of those New Jersey
weather sharks. She must have had one
aboard today, because when the Sham
rock tacked soon after -the start and
stood In on what seemed like a hunt
for more wind, the Resolute, did not
follow. She held on as she was, and
because she held on, that race, boat for
boat, was saved for her right there. :
A breeze from the sea and the Resolute-took
it, and for three minutes or so
she was rolling with her lee rail under
It. with the Shamrock rocking up and
down with never a smell of it.
SHAMROCK CREEPS tTP
- After the Shamrock got going It was
a pretty race to first mark, which had
been placed 1Q miles to windward, placed
not out to sea as it might have been by
the committee, but In toward the Jersey
'shore, v When the history of these cup
races is finally written it will be inter-
eating to see what number of them have
been settled by the fluky winds off the
Jersey beach.
It was a good two-mile breese good
for these enlarged toys. They. Carried to
the first mark and. in one hour and a
half approximately they turned the buoy
to the usuab steamboat . sirens, h . The
Resolute to there! had a minute and a
half the best of it, which means that
when the wind freshened the green boat
began to gain. Now the next 10-mile
leg was to be a broad reach,' and so it
was' for live miles, with the - Shamrock
gaining slowly.
ABOUT it KyOTS
Both boats were making .a very pretty
'picture" for that five miles, and the entire
10 miles in fact. with , the swash flying
past them and the crew tucked up under
the windward rail, where they hung d
like people on a sloping roof they had
to hang on or slide overboard, and if
they slid overboard the best they could
hope for was a hastily flung life pre
server. The Shamrock'seople may be saying
that the wind was .not quite far enough
aft to suit them on this lag, but they did
pretty well, for all that. They sailed
tpat 10 miles at an average of a little
better than 12 knots. The Resolute did
-a little under 12 knots, which may give
an idea of what kind of racing .freaks
they are, with the wind not blowing more
than 12 knots throughout. The . Sham
rock beat the Resolute 43 seconds on the
leg.
TRIES TO CROSS FIRST
Now the run home was where the
Shamrock was to show what a wonder
she was. The wind was to be over hei
quarter, and over her quarter it was,
and with her green top sides burled
under waterall the ugly bumps in
her buried we were looking at net
from "her lee side she brought every
foot of her long length Ao bear and
she did sift along. The Resolute wasn't
loafing while : all this was going on.
No. no, not she. She was reeling off
about 11 knots on her Own account, or
not far short of It. But the Shamrock
was gaining. The guessing at this time
was not that the' .little green lady could
make up her handicap and win.. But
would she cross the line first? And
after all. there must be some consolation
In beating your opponent out In actual
sailing.
This time . the breeze was about 13
miles an hour, the strongest It had
blown during any race of this series,
and five miles from home It was a
safe bet that the Shamrock .would cross
the line first'
'0 JIB TOPSAIL
If either boat showed distress under
the strain It should be the Resolute,
k because hadn't she been all the year
parting her throat halyards or carrying
away her mast or something? But It
. was not the Resolute that cracked. Here
the Shamrock had no jib topsail at all
on.
: The Shamrock had' tried out a few
jib topsails at various times through
out the race, but none seemed to suit
her, and now she was trailing without
one. And why wasn't she carrying one?
The only reason w could see "for It was
that the day before while In drydock
she had shipped a fancy new topmast,
a wonder of a topmast, greater than
all of the wonderful ones that had gone
before. It was of some kind of metal.
- We could see it gleaming in the sun.
and it was hollow, bo reports said. It
was probably too hollow and If they
slapped that big Jib topsail to her down
it would come kerplunk on their skulls.
BIO TOPSAIt GITE8 WAT
Of course. It may have been the Sham
rock's Judgment that the Resolute top
mast would not stand the strain, and if
that happened the race would" be over
for the Resolute. But the Resolute's
stood th strain, t We were nearest the
Shamrock at the time, and we thought
we could see the fancy Shamrock top
mast buckling. The Resolute's might
have been buckling, too. But whether
it was or not. she was not taking In any
sail. True, she was on the wrcng tack
to take in sail.. She would have to come
into the wind and lose time to do that

lose enough to lose the race; and no
racing yachtsmen are going" to do that.
Let it come down if tt would and lose
the race and cup. yes. If It would, but
the other thing. io ! !
And lo and behold, it was the Sham
rock' gear that weakened.- That big
topsail they carried could be seen lag
ging, sagging checking her way or at
least of - no help to lier. . By and by
It gave altogether, and that i was one
of the several reasons why the Resolute
beat her across the line. Tea minutes
later she sent up a little one, a ridicu
lous one compared in size to the other.
BESOLCTE GETS WI3TB
By and by a black squall 'came up.
Everybody ducked to It. Destroyers
shut down wheelhouse windows J and
steam yachts : hove to as the racing
boats came Into the wind. The Reso
lute "acted as if she had started some
thing when It was past. She pointed
into the wind.
Hanging idle for three minutes, or so,
and while she hung so, the long green
boat crept up on her. She came abreast
of her to leeward and we all thought
Lhe was going to slip by. If the stake
boat had not i been so near we would
have feared for the cup. the Shamrock
having two races on it. But the green
one never got by. The Resolute was
making ready i for another sail, and as
the. Shamrock ! breasted her, up It went
and, as If only waiting for that, a nice
little squall took all the kick out of the
wind and an almost flat calm followed
the nice little breese came along and
filled the Resolute's waiting balloon and
away went the white lady for the stake,
and while the Shamrock was yet ' a
quarter of a mile away she crossed.
The Resolute got the greatest recep
tion either boat has yet had when she
crossed the line. When the Shamrock
crossed, looking very pretty under her
enormous white spinnaker, she too, got
a great reception. Then all - hands
turned and made that 'run up the har
bor which Js as interesting as the race
itself. It stands two and two and Sat
urday they sail the final. t I

and looking at the two catfish that was
out there trying not to get anywheres.
So I pretended like I was sound asleep
and the lieut had to go out and find a
soft place on the deck, as I have nick
named the porch.
. The off iciat i story of the race may be
told in the following words by one who
didnt see it: They started at 1 o'clock
because starting time was high noon, and
they got away about even with neither
sloop making! any headway, i In fact.
they both looked like they was In reverse.
1 , don't knowi If ; they have emergency
brakes on yachts or no, but if they
have they was certainly both using them.
In about 2 hours they round the first
stake and the boats, that was watching
give a resounding cheer on their sirens.
Speaking about the boats - that : was
watching them, the attendance is getting
so good that if they keep on a few more
days you will half to have a set of
binoculars to i find the spectators. I
Well, Resolute was ahead at the first
stake and the second stake and the last
stake, and it looks now like the defender
has a even chance of winning, but per
sonly its a race betwen a hearse and a
snail, and may the slowest team win.

ACCUSED OF USING
EXPLOSIVE BULLET
Belfast, July 14. (U. P.) Police
today charged that Sinn Fein snipers,
standing In windows and on house
tops, were using explosive bullets,
terribly mutilating their victims.
Military charged snipers who were
firing from the Clonard -monastery
today. ,
- Two women and two men were
wounded when an armored car fired
on hostile, crowds which had gath
ered around a convent. The crowds
Were dispersed.
" Three more persons died in hospitals
today from Injuries received in s last
night's rioting, bringing the death list
in the factional - fighting - between
Orangemen and Sinn Felners during the
last week to 27.
MORE THAN WOtTJBED
It was believed other deaths occurred
in homes which were not reported.
More than 250 have been wounded, many
seriously.
Unionists have posted notices declar
ing they were mobilizing all available
forces. Nationalists also were gather
ing adherents. It was : feared today
would develop more serious fighting.
Some Idea of the bitterness existing
can be gained from the fact that am
bulances laden with : wounded were
stoned. All hospitals were crowded to
capacity and relief workers erected tents
on the outskirts to care for the wounded.
Sinn Felners were discovered" garbed
as -women attempting to leave the city.
Mobs looted saloons and shops and piled
furniture in the street, to which they
set fire, dancing about the blaze drunk
enly. During the night scores of build
ings were ablaze. Unionists did not at
tack those shops over which a Union
Jack flew.
Many were beaten Into insensibility
in rough and tumble fighting. -FIGHT
HAND TO HA!fD
Troops intervened only when shooting
started, generally allowing the hand-to-band
fighting to proceed.
A mob captured a Catholic church
and fired shots from the steeple. They
held the church until driven out ' by
troops. ? It was estimated the , damage
would run close to a million ; dollars.
Cavalry was patrolling rll streets and
further military reinforcements were ar
riving hourly.
An attempt to burn a nunnery was'
frustrated by military authorities.
Troops fired on the crowd, wounding
four persons. In many places troops
returned the fire of the Sinn Felners. !

One man was killed and much damage
done in an outbreak of disorder at Dro-

BE THAT OF KATE
(Conttao-d from Pas Ona)
shipped from Detroit to New York in
a trunk by "A. A. Tleturn" on. June
10, a Chicago woman? ;
Detroit police, baffled at every turn
for a clue, will seek the cooperation of
Chicago police today .in an effort to
unraval the mystery of the trunk mur
der by having them make a search of
their records for a missing woman an
swering the description of the girl found
in the trunk, her body sliced by a sur
geon's knife and vital organs removed.
Mrs. ' Lottie Brooks, manager ..of . the
apartment at 105 Harper avenue, the
address given by the shipper of the
trunk-coffin, told the police today that
the young couple, giving the name of
Mr. and Mrs. E. Leroy, who departed
under mysterious circumstances at about
the time the trunk was shipped, had
told her they were from Chicago, and
had talked of that city.
Ml'TILATtOK FIEHDIftH
Because of the flenmsh mutilation of
the corpse, Detroit police are at a loss
for a motive for the murder. All the
vital organs, including the heart ami
lungs, were removed, the tongue was
cut out and the knees broken so that
the body could be pressed into the
trunk in the form of a letter "S. lead
ing to the belief that it was either the
work of a maniac, or the ooldrblooded
and purposeful blundering of someone
with a knowledge of surgery. :
Completely baffled for any other
clue, the homicide squad today began
work on two theories rirst. that an
illegal operation had resulted in the
death of the girl and the body had
been chopped and the vital organs re
moved to blot out all traces of the
original crime,, and, secondly, that she
had been poisoned and the organs re
moved for the same reason. The cut
ting out of the tongue leads the homi
cide bureau to place the most credence
in the poison theory, as the tongue
might . have shown poison traces.
SUrPPED OH PREPAID SLIP ;
The trunk with its gruesome contents
was shipped from the Michigan Central
depot June 10, on a prepaid slip No.
22.418 at a cost of $4.69. according to the
records of Chief Clerk 1 Libby of the
express office. According to Mrs. Brooks,
Leroy had two trunks hauled away, and
police believe the other trunk contained
the heart, lungs, tongue and other parts
of the body and was shipped ; to some
other fictitious address, where it is lying
unclaimed. G. C. Brokaw. superintendent
of the Detroit express office, if said to
have found an expressman who remem
bered the particular trunk, and he Is to
be questioned by the detectives this
morning. Chief of Detectives Edward
H. Fox received a message from New
York today saying the police there were
sending the clothing found in the, trunk
te Detroit for possible identification.
They, also notified him that a blue
serge suit found with the body had been
purchased in Pulaski, Mich. Other
clothing found tn the trunk included a
woman's brown coat with a fur collar.
black hat turned up with black trim
ming, lavender underskirt and an old
rose, sweater coat.. Mrs.-Brooks will be
asked to identify these as worn by "Mrs.

Mrs. Brooks, the . landlady, gives -the
following version of the mysterious story
of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy who occupied
one of her apartments from June 7 until
three days later : v
"The Leroys rented the apartment on
June 7." Mrs. Brooke said. "I asked
them for their marriage license and the
woman told me her mother had it. Thex
seemed to Quarrel quite a ! bit because
the man was not .working, but I noticed
nothing unusual about them. Then a
few days later I found a ' strange ex
pressman moving out their two trunks,
X went to their apartment and asked Mr.
Leroy his reaeons for not giving ma ad
vance notice."
"My wife waa called home" by a
message showing her folks were -ill, and
I am following her today," the man re
plied, according to Mrs. Brooks, who
says no telegram was received at the
apartment.
NEVER. CAME BACK L
"I checked the apartment and discov
ered a pair of blankets, two sheets and
a table cover were missing. When I
asked about them, Leroy said they were
at the laundry. I insisted that he pay
for. them, but he sr.ld tt was all right
and left me an address near Cheboygan.
Mich., to write to in case everything was
not all right. ' The bed clothing never
came back and my letter to that address
was returned unclaimed.'
Mrs. Brooks says no one by the name
of A. A. Tleturn was ever at the apart
ments; and police were working on the
theory that Tleturn and Leroy i are the
same man and that the body of the slain
girl is that Of Mrs. Leroy. Mrs. Hugh
Roland, who rented the apartment after
the Leroys had left, said she had ' seen
Mrs. Brooks scrubbing dark stains from
the floor, but Mrs. Brooks emphatically
denied this.

The brain the only vital organ left In

ALBANY DROWN NG
REPUBLICANS LIKE
HARDING'S FRONT
PORCH CAMPAIGN
' By Pavid Lawicneg
(Copyrighted, -20. .
Marion, . Ohio, July 24. No on
who heard the speech of Senator
Warren O. Harding accepting the
Republican nomination of the presi
dency could have failed to be Im
pressed with the utter earnestness
and good intention of the man. -
' Entirely . apart from the skillfully
worded phrases and well balanced' i sen
tences, almost -scientifically composed to
give the minimum - of offense and the
maximum of comfort to the great body of
voters whose ballots are wanted next
fall, the Republican nominee revealed a
personality of simple but solemn appeal.
He pledged himself in prayerful tones,
not to achieve the impossible, but to do
the best he could with the immense job
of the presidency if elected.
EFFECTIVE FOBCH SFEAKEB ,
The speech satisfied Its hearers,! who
were mostly Republicans. It did more
than that, it thrilled and enthused them.
With all due respect to the length of
time Senator Harding bas been in public
life, he was still an unknown quantity
to the Republican leaders. Every man
Is an unknown quantity so far as. presi
dential campaigning Is concerned until
he is once nominated. The Republicans
came here to size up Harding.- Was It
wise for him to stay on the front porch 7
Was he a mixer? Was he capable of
the task entrusted to him by the Re
publican national convention?
And the answers to all these -questions
"were enthusiastically in the affirmative.
More than one Republican who had been
urging that Harding leave the front
porch and .go touring, went away be
lieving that If the senator would i con
fine his -campaign speaking, to a dozen
or so prepared speeches either in Marlon
or In three of four cities like New York.
Chicago and Boston, he would make
just as effective a campaign as could be
made by platformlng all over the
country. . -
GOOD OLD M'KIJfLETISM
. The speech ( of acceptance was ac
claimed by the Republicans who heard
It as a masterpiece of exposition, an elo
quent and thoughtful presentation, not
only of Republican doctrine, but of the
pathways of safe and sound administra
tion in a troubled era. i
It was, apparent that the portions of
the speech referring to foreign policy
struck deep chords of approval. .. Un-
.r.rZiatZr, ?Z tZlat ,
,-ithe first presentation of the covenant of
the League of Nations, the wearisome
debate on the Lodge resolutions and the
vigorous campaign conducted by Sena
tors Borah and Johnson has implanted
certain Impressions of new and strange
ways for America In her foreign policy
under the league, so it was easy 'for
Senator Harding to touch the notes of a
foreign policy of McKJnley's day; and
gain thereby a hearty response, i
This was an audience that seemed tired
of today's troubles, domestic or foreign,
and appeared" eager, ever so eager, to
go back to the old days, if It was only
to speak of normal times in a fond
reminiscence that might bring realiza
Uon itself.
ALL MID-WEST PRODUCTS
It was "backward that Senator Hard
ing looked to get guidance for the future.
back to party traditions and party prin
ciples, and as he denounced by Implicit,
and sometimes by explicit allusion, the
conception of leadership of the presi
dency which Wood row Wilson had In
troduced, the crowd semed to graps read
ily the kind of an administration which
Senator Harding was visualising,
Senator Harding plainly marked out
, i y uuwmuuniuu. . w
the method and manner by which Roose

on Senator Harding's : address ac
cepting the Republican nomination
Parley Parker Cbristensen, Farmer-
Labor party candidate for president,
said: , . , j.
Oh, i bunk, of purest rayione
mine autnor seems to lose tne earn
mon toncb :
His words bide not his mind from being
seen,
And I perceive in either nothing much.
Christensen, a former progressive, as
sailed Senator Lodge's statement that
Harding; is imbued with the spirit of
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt and
asserted that, from : bis knowledge of
Roosevelt, the latter, : If alive, "would
scourge the combination of profiteers and
politicians who so brazenly link his
memory with their nefarious effort to
turn this republic over to 'a soviet of
Wall street bankers." .
The Harding address, Christensen
said, "is an ; enlightening exhibition of
shadow boxing. The League of Nations
is dead. Yet he lunges at its ghost and
shouts to the onlookers, 'It's alive! It's
alive! I tell yo'u It lives! ij He sees a
red conf ligration with a j vision
equaled only by Pontius Palmer, but as
to the issues involving deliverence of
the people--? economic bondage and po
litical servility, the senator from Ohio
patters forth with words signifying
nothing."
