Harvard Had Little Practice Owing to Exams. Cornell Gets Launch and Courtney is Happy. Official Regulations for Races Wednesday and Thursday. GALES FERRY, Conn. June 30 Regatta week opened, today, to find tho oarsmen of old Tale early stripped for action, and eager to put on the finishing touches for the important races of Wednesday and Thursday.

Before his men were actually ready for work, coach Cook sauntered about, endeavoring to get a line on the work of the Harvard and Cornell crews. Tha day, weather wise. Is Ideal, but a strong northerly breeze kicked up the river, and Yale hesitated about getting on tha river. Mr Cook Informed his men this morning that the pair oar work was practically finished. The eights will practice in their shells, and will not be coached individually unless one or more of them show a falling off in their oarsmanship.

The men at the Yale quarters seemed this morning to appreciate the fact that the big races are near at hand, and they welcome the orders which came from Capt Cook calling for vigorous work. The varsity crew went out at 11 o'clock in search of smooth water, which was found In Johnson's cove. The eight practiced about an hour. The freshmen enjoyed a sail on the Alcedo. The lat-; ter eight will go to Xew Haven tmor-." row for examinations.

All of the men are as fit as fiddles, and the crews of old Yale will go to tha starting point In magnificent condition. Harvard's morning practice was great ly abbreviated today for two reasons. Sixteen men of the varsity and freshmen squais had examinations and coach Lc-hmann will not return to the quarters until this afternoon. Both crews took short walks before breakfast. At 9.S0 the varsity launched their shell and rowed up and down the river in front of the quarters for half an hour.

They were not coached and mere- ly took warming-up exercise. Harvard will work bard this evenlnx and tomorrow. The spirits of coach Courtney were high this morning upon the announce- ment of the navy management that the fast steam launch Venture bad been se- cured.

says of the career of the promoter Hooley: The meteoric financial career of Ernest T. Hooley is the spectacle of the moment in London. Two years ago London did not know of Mr Hooley'a existence. One year ago his was a name to conjure with in the world's financial capital. Within scarcely more than six months he floated sucoessfully schemes which drew from the pockets of the investing public more than J125.000,000,wlth a net profit to himself, according to his own admission, of $15,000,000.

Today he is in the bankruptcy court, and is the possessor, also according to his statement, of not a shilling of his own. When Wall st produces occasionally a Napoleon of finance he is a bold operator on the stock exchange. In London he is a promoter. Mr Hooley was for a few brief weeks the king of promoters. It was doubtful at one moment, perhaps, which of three men deserved the title Barney Barnato, Horatio Bottomley or Ernset Terah Hooley.

Barnato's tragic end need not be called. Bottomley, whom it is no exaggeration to describe as the most marvellous hypnotist of the present day, is succeeding, after a series of startling vicissitudes, in keeping the enthusiastic confidence of a multitude of followers. Hooley is struggling with his first disaster. I say his first disaster, because he is still a young man of boundless energy and because anybody who can accumulate a fortune of fifteen millions in less than a twelvemonth by his own- efforts la not likely to be effaced by a single collapse. A man who suddenly gets possession of millions and as suddenly loses them is bound to be an interesting personality.

Terah Hooley would command attention almost anywhere. A keen, forceful, rather attractive face, an abrupt, almost impatient manner the man impresses one instantly as an incarnation of lndominable will and energy. Ho wu born SS years ago In Derbyshire, but not of poor and humble parents. His people have been yeoman farmers and landowners in Leicestershire for generations. He began his business career as a stock broker in Nottingham, and by the time he came to London two years ago he had accumulated a comfortable fortune of about $750,000, besides acquiring Rls-ley Hall, a fine estate near Derby.

Most of his property was made In connection with bicycle companies. He brought these substantial profits to London in order to undertake bigger operations than were possible In the provinces. His first great venture was the buying up of pneumatic tire companies. He organized a syndicate and purchased the business for $15,000,000 and promptly refloated them at $25,000,000. The public subscribed the money more than twice over, and within a few months the price of the $5 deferred shares was The present quotation is $2.50.

His other great flotations were a liquid beef concern at $12,500,000, and English sewing cotton at $13,500,000. Dozens of smaller bicycle and other Industrial concerns were offered to the public and eagerly subscribed in rapid succession. His latest and greatest ventures were fail ures, namely, his attempt to obtain a contract for a Chinese loan of $80,000,000 and an effort to float a Spanish loan at about the time the present war began. As for his methods and his moral responsibility to investors in his schemes, or the lack of it, Mr Hooley has been talking with the greatest frankness the crash came, three days ago. For Instance: "What I have done in the way of company promotion since the spring of 18M is a matter of public notoriety.

I have handled altogether 25,000,000 worth of property, making a profit of I have worked an average of 16 hours a day, and I have not had three days' holiday. I have always acted in the most straightforward manner, and, no matter what I have been concerned in, I have always thrown my cards upon the table for every one to see. I have said: 'Here is a property for which I have paid so much; I am offering it for so much, and I make so much "Everything I have done has been open and above board. There has been no failure of any of the companies I have promoted, but I have been obliged to seek the protection of the bankruptcy court in consequence of the immense number of actions that have been brought by discontented shareholders. "No doubt you know that, in the ventures in which I have been engaged, I have not worked alone.

There has always been a syndicate, and I have had all sorts of people with me, from the highest in the land to the lowest. I have been making the business, and they have been taking the profit. Now they have turned their backs on me and loft me in the lurch, and I am going to show the public exactly how I have been treated. "If a'man puts his money in a gold mine, and the shares go down to 4d, he doesn't squeak, but If he goes into an Industrial company, and the directors play the fool, nothing satisfies him but litigation." "Then you have known directors to 'play the foci'?" "Some of my companies have been grossly mismanaged. It has nothing to do with me.

I am sfmply the promoter." "And the promoter's function "Is to sell the property to the best advantage." "It has been said of you that you did not manage companies; you only bought and sold them?" "That is so. I don't say that I can manage a business. I have never said so. I am a dealer a born dealer. I never worked the businesses at all." "And having bought a business and sold a business" "I had nothing further to do with it.

Why should "Well, what about the man who may have taken shares on the strength of your name?" "Well, he was a fool," said Mr Hooley curtly. "That is the He continued: "If I acquire a business for a million, and divide it into debentures, preference and ordinary shares and so cut it up for the public, and sell it piecemeal, I am entitled to my pront.am I not? Supposing I buy a business for a million and sell it for 1,100.000, i3 that too much?" "Perhaps not; but the profit is not always at that rate?" "Well," replied Mr Hooley, "there was considerably more profit than that on seme of them. But they have all proved to be what I saw they were." "Some people may say that they may have been overcapitalized." "Very likely they will," was Mr Hoo-ley's frank admission. "But," he added. In the most hopeful tone, "they will see me again at the top.

as they now find me at the bottom. They have not heard the last of me." But by far the most sensational feature of the Hooley collapse is the exposure which it brings of the systematic yenallty and blackmailing of the English press, especially the fir.ancial press. Mr Hooley declares that the real cause of his failure Is the persecution by newspapers which has followed his final resistance of blackmailing demands, which became so exorbitant that even his great resources could not comply with them. He paid one newspaper alone, as he affirms, $200,000 for Its support, or rather, to restrain its attacks. A single article in another Journal cost him no less than $50,000.

Mr Hooley promises to tell the whole story, with names and figures, in the bankruptcy court, and it may readily be imagined there is consternation in many London editorial rooms. This Is Mr Hooley's description of the manner in which he has been bled; "As soon as it Is known that a company Is coming out, I am besieged by them and their representatives. They como quite openly, and say 'Well, what are we going to get out of this?" I have seen a filo of 20 of them waiting together In the corridor at the Midland hotel. "So and So's coming they say. you answer; 'but there isn't much in it; it cost me so much, and it's coming out at so much.

You shall have That perhaps is not enough, and you keep on bargaining in the ordinary way until a price is fixed." "And that is paid as?" "Well, I don't know what you call It." "What do you call it?" "Blackmail. That's the word." "But are not these amounts set down as charges for advertisements?" "Not at all; the payment for advertisements whatever the amount may be is done through the advertisement department in the ordinary way. "But," added Mr Hooley, "I'm going to clear myself with the public. I'm losing now everything that's worth having, but I'll geX it all back again, and some people will find they have made a mistake in persecuting me. They thought I had a million or two put by.

and that I was fair game for them. There seems to be quite a general idea that if a man makes 100,000 profit on a company though it's often nearer 20,000 by the time everything is settled he may be blackguarded and blackmailed with impunity." This evil of journalistic blackmail in the cltv of London has reached enormous proportions and is working Incalculable harm. The situation is by no means exaggerated by an honest editor, who wrote yesterday: "The hideous system which has sprung up eats like a canker worm at the root of financial business in the city. It nourishes the promotion of dishonest companies, it hampers the promotion of honest companies, and it is the public which suffers. If the present sensational circumstances result in attracting public attention to the abuse, the city may be relieved of a weight under which, by reason of the cupidity and cowardice of promoters.

It now staggers." It Is literally true that no honest enterprise which depends for support upon the general public can be successfully floated in London without paying heavy toll to the highwaymen of the press. If Mr Hooley will by full exposure or otherwise put a check upon this enormous scandal he will win forgiveness for many of his own shortcomings if he has been guilty of any. He certainly cannot be charged with selfishness in his days of good fortune. His charities during the few months that his Midas touch turned everything to gold amounted to no less a sum than $1,250,000. He insists that his creditors will not only be paid in full, but that a surplus will remain to him of at least $2,500,000.

At all events, it may safely be prognosticated that London will hear more of Mr Hooley. ROBINSON HELD. Quincy Court Will Examine Him FurtherCase of a Stolen WheeL QUINCY. June 20 In the Quincy court this morning Hector Robinson, who was arrested In Boston yesterday on the charge of obtaining $13.50 from Mrs Sidney F. Wlllard by a worthless check, was held in $300 until Saturday for a further hearing.

Chief Maurice Pierce of Milton had Walter Mann, a teamster of Quincy, before the court charged with stealing a bicycle from E. C. Bassett. Mann went to Bassett at his place of business in Milton last Wednesday and hired a woman's wheel. He gave his name as John Manning.

He was to return it Thursday, and the wheel not coming back, Bassett reported the matter to the rolice. Mann was arrested at his home in Wollaston yesterday. He told a most improbable story to JuiIrp Humphrey this morning and It led many to think he was insane. He said his "lady friend" was run into by a train at Hlngham while on the wheel and that she subsequently died from her injuries. Judge Humphrey asked Mann If any one besides himself had heard this story and he admitted that no one had.

He was sentenced to four months at Dedham Jail. Nothing could be learned from him as to the whereabouts of the wheel. John McAdam and William McAdani, who gave their residences as Providence, were held in $300 each until Saturday, on the charge of larceny of clothing from Mrs Brown of Quincy. Daniel Cronln, en expressman of Quincy. was held until Saturday for illegally transporting liquors.

JUVENILES IN COURT. Clinton Boy Burglars Lectured by the Judge, but Not Sentenced. CLINTON, Mass, June 20 In the district court room this morning a curious crowd was present at the trial of the band of young burglars captured last week. Judge Stone was on the bench. Agent Walker of the state board of lunacy and charity represented the state, C.

G. Bancroft appeared for the parents of the boys and chief Murphy had the case for the town in charge. The four little fellows in the dock seemed to en.ioy the surroundings. Just beyond sat the parents and relatives with their eyes bathed in tears. Agent Walker took the boys one by one into the judge's private office and gave them a thorough talking to.

As they emerged with their parents each was sobbing bitterly. The boys were called before the bar and each pleaded guilty. Judge Stone then spoke at length on the case. He said it was his intention to be lenient, but at the same time to protect the interests of the town. "If any of you boys are out later than du.sk I will have the onicei-3 report you," said he.

Judge Stone then plr.c.1 the case of Alphonso King on file with the statement that young King was only the of the other boys. The cases of Sidney Bindhammer, Frank Cochran and William Gordon were continued two months for sentence. After court the Rtolen goods were restored to their owners. Archbishop Williams Officiated. Rev P.

F. Boyle, pastor St Teresa's church. West Koxbury, is happy over the very successful mission which the Jesuit fathers. Rev W. J.

STRONG PROTESTS WILL BE MADE Hearing Before Railroad Commissioners Tomorrow on Petition of Boston Elevated for Location on Humboldt Av. Strong protests are to be made against any approaches to Franklin park being given the Boston Elevated railway company. Tomorrow morning at 10 the railroad commissioners will give a hearing upon the petition of the road for a lecation for tracks upon Humboldt av, Roxbury. The new line asked for will leave Warren st, run through Walnut st to Humboldt av at.d along Humboldt av to the entrance to Franklin park. There is a general opposition on the part cf bicycle riders, property owners cn the avenue and side streets, and alvo frcm residents of Roxbury who drive to the park through Humboldt av.

Sterling Eiliot, chief consul of the L. A. Samuel J. Elder and many others lead in the protest. It is expected that the remonstrants will appear at the hearing in large numbers to impress upon the railroad commissioners the Injustice of permitting the electric railway tracks to occupy this beautiful approach to the park.

In obicctlng to the granting of the petition, the remonstrants argue that the company now runs cars on bcth sides of the park, carrying large crowda of people on Sundays and holidays, and that upon the comnletlon of Columbus av the road will have an additional line to the park. Any further avenue for the electrics the remonstrants consider unnecessary, as the public is now amply provided for with routes. If the Humboidt av location is granted the remonstrants say that the only approach to the park which bicycles and cjrriaees life- with safety and to avoid the crowds from the electric cars, will be taken away. Occupancy of this avenu by cars, they say, will Introduce an element cf danger on holidays and Sundays especially, and it will take away the or.lv street leading from Roxbury to the park which has not been taken by the street railway company. The remonstrants point out that the company already has a location upon wainm ranted some time ago.

upon which they have never built. If Humboldt av. now desired, is given to thm thr remonstrants ask what is to prevent the company from, building upon walnut av as wen ami uiuwuiiu crowds rieht in the path now used almost exclusively for bicycling and pleasure driving. Humboldt av is not a wide street. It is argued, being only 40 feet from curb to curb, and a double track line will snoll the thoroughfare for pleasure carriages.

It is the desire of the leaders in opposing the granting of the petition that all who can should attend the hearing tomorrow morning at tho office of the railroad commissioners. NEWTON. Fred E. Trowbridge of 114 Newtonvllle av reports that early this morning an attempt was made to enter his house by forcintr a rear window.

East Watertown, to a width of SO feet, in accordance with plans accompanying the pt-tlon of residents of the town of Belmont for the widening of Belmont and sts. The order has aroused general indignation in Watertown, and will not be compiled with until every legal means of resistance has been exhausted. The order calls for widening by taking land on the south side of the street, and herein lies the objection of Water-town residents. Only the south side of thl3 street is In Watertown, and on the section within i tie Wuttnowii limits there are very few houses. The town is in no wise interested in the proposed widening, which Is solely In the interest of rapid transit for the towns of Belmont and Waverley.

Watertown has no objection to the widening, if the entire burden were not placed on her shoulders, but objects decidedly to having a street on her very borders widened entirely at her expense, when no benefit will accrue to the town. The commissioners" order provides for the completion of the street by Sept 1, 93, but the strenuous resistance which the town Is sure to make to an order which is generally regarded aa unjust makes it practically certain that the order will not be complied with within this tiir.e. It is proposed to carry the matter into tho courts, and in case this remedy falls to make an appeal to the next leg-isKture. As the town has reached its debt limit, and the proposed widening is certain to be an expensive undertaking, it is confidently expected that this last ippeal will be successful. WOBUEN.

A provisional military organization will be started in this city as soon as authority can be secured.
