S i c i : ' -
"; (By I'niud News)
Berlin. June 24. Writing in the third
Internationale's , newspaper, "Big Bill'
Haywood declared that, the . present
American "crisis" Is the accomplishment
of a gigantic plot which is actually de
veloping into open war against the work
ers, with Its aims to reduce wages to a
pre-war standard. ' ' -
"Its prelude."; he declares. "was the
closing of the factories."
. Haywood accuses the market .men of
destroying apples in Michigan and rice
in Arkansas, of dumping coffee over
board and destroying fruit In San' Fran'
Cisco harbor, rather than to sell tt at re
duced prices. s : - , :
Finally, he' declares that cotton grow
ers are purposely reducing their acre
age - in orfler4 to maintain ? high prices.

A party of English soldiers had been
detailed to raid a certain house. " They

N. S.)-r-Yale's blue-clad- bulldogs
won today's varsity race against
Harvard on the choppy waters of the
Thames after one of the greatest
struggles in the history of the clas
sic event.
The Yale crew' spurted in the last half
mile of a contest that was a gruelling
affair from the start, and scored a vic
tory, coming from behind after the
Crimson crew had led them most of
the way over the four-mile stretch of
water.
HARVARD OVERTAKEN" .
Harvard was leading: the Blue boat as
the three and one half mile mark was
passed. At this point Yale started to
increase her stroke and soon reduced
the lead of. the Cambridge crew to half
length. . '.
Both crews were rowing a Btroke of
30 to the .minute at this stage of the
race and neither -was splashing. Both
were getting everything" they reached
for. Throughout the last half mile the
contest was a terrific fight for every
inch of water they covered.
At 2 miles Yale started her real
spurt. The ; bulldog oarsmen bent to
their sweep with magnificent effort,
raising their stroke to 32. Harvard im
mediately Increased her stroke, also, but
the blue was not to be dented.
It was not until the rival eights had
entered the last" quarter mile of the race
that Yale forged into the van. Harvard
foughfgamely, rowing. for dear life, but
the blue boat crossed the finish line half
length in the van. " The official time
of. the winners was 20:41. Harvard fin
ished in 20:44. .
PACE IS GRUELLIXG
Yale's oarsmen were apparently ex
hausted as a result .of their efforts and
most of the crew dropped over their
oars. Harvard's oarsmen also slumped
in their boat but soon straightened up.
Ex-President Hadley of Yale, who rods
on the regatta boat, expressed the opin
ion that today's race was the greatest
ever rowed by . Harvard and Yale crews
and waved his- halirr-"w41d" enthusiasm"
as Yale crossed the line the victors.
Yale's crew was picked up by the blue
launch and taken upstream- to their
quarters. ' The Harvard oarsmen were
taken aboard the launch John Harvard.

Grand Forks. 3. C, June 24. (U. P.)
Doukhobors of both sexes, many of them
nude, late yesterday used pitchforks,
hoes, rakes and cordwood sticks to put
o rout a party of mounted police who
had gone out to discipline them because
they would not reply to questions by the
census enumerator.
There -are 1500 doukhobors in this dis
trict. They are Russian immigrants, in
sanely religious? but good farmers. They
decline to accede to man-made laws and
insist they will take no notice whatever
of mere government regulations.
' Early in the week they had thrown
out the census enumerator and when a
policeman served summons on them to
bring them to court they tore up the of
ficial papers. Diplomacy having failed,
a detachment of mounted police, con
sisting of Staff Sergeant Reid and two
constables, . went out to make arrests.
The three men soon found themselves
surrounded by a crowd of fighting de
mons whose frenzy knew no bounds.
The police retired until reinforcements
arrived when the mounted police were
successful in capturing the men who
were ringleaders in the anti-government
movement, " Inspectors had their uni
forms torn to remnants and several ' of
the oflfcers were badly cut. Eight ar
rests were made and fines of $20 were
