Although Resolute was second across the line, the ballooner on the Irish sloop would not break out and was hauled party down. Five minutes ifter the start Resolute had nearly caught Shamrock. At 12:22 Resolute jumped Into the lead, passing Shamrock to leeward, after the challenger's crew had clear ed the fouled Jib topsail. Having cleared the fouled Jib top sail the crew of the Shamrock set their splnaker. It did not draw well. It was. evident to observers that sail handling on the challenger had been bungled. The splnaker was taken In at '12:25 and a smaller reaching jib set. This also failed to fill quickly and ten minutes after the start Reso lute was leading by fifty yards. , Challenger Loses Steadily, ; At 12:30 her lend was 200 yards.

Sugar Company To Face Charge Of Profiteering Salt Lake City, July 20. The Utah Idaho sugar company, whose principal holders are officers of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, must stand trial at the November term of United States court here on a charge of profiteering in sugar.

Every delegate here declares ; that a presi dential ticket will be placed In the field and they are unanimous in the declaration .that William Jennings Bryan and "Billy" Sunday are the men who will head the ticket. The ques tion of whether Mr. Bryan will con sent to head the party's ticket is up permost in the minds of the delegates and the opinion is freely expressed that If he refuses to accept the nom ination it will be freed Upon him. "If Mr. Bryan wants the nomination' he can have it by nodding his head," said Mr. Calderwood today, "and if he doesn't want It we probably will force it on him.

Intent Held Plain. "It seems perfectly plain that it was the intention of the legislature that the highway commission should have power to lay out, designate and improve roads where there had previ ously been noh ighways. "If this were not the right construc tion It would be impossible for the commission to work out any complete system of connecting roads.
