THE FARMER: FKIDAY, JUJf 30,1.920
Resolute Halt A
Mile In The Lead
In Triangular Race
City Will Not Act Again
Now On Jitneys; Expect
Cars Off Streets Monday
ACCUSED AND HIS SWEETHEART
Crosses the Line First
and on the First Ten
Mile Leg of the Jour
ney, a Beat to Wind
ward, She Not Only is
Faster Than the Lipton
Boat But Also Works
Far to the Windward
of Her Wind at Five
Knots An Hour.
Resolute, first across the
line in the fourth race of the
international series, beginning
at one o'clock .today, was in
creasing her load in the first
hour of the race. Shortly after
half past one with the wind at
5 knots and with the yachts
beating windward on the first
leg of the three legs of the race
the Resolute was leading by a
quarter of a mile and was well
to the windward of the English
yacht.
After Captain Burton started to let
Shamrock run in order to forereach
his rival the challenger appeared for
x while as if she was sailing back for
the starting line so badly she was
thrown off apparently by the shifting
wind.
When the two yachts headed in
shore for the Jersey Highlands, Res
olute gained constantly in the beat
windward.
Working inshore Resolute pinched
DUt further and further to weather, j
while Shamrock sought to overcome I
her rival's advantage for forereaching.
The defender heeled over in the light ;
breeze more than the Lipton bent and j
showed the same marked advantage j
in beating to windward In a ground ;
swell with faint airs as she did in pre- j
vious races. The yachts at were
trying to get in under the Jersey '
Highlands where they hoped to get a
bit more breeze.
At 1:20 the wind hauled almost to
lAtMncr ,,-n T(nlute and nutting
her more than a quarter of a mile
to windward where she - was almost
ah!e to lay her course for the mark.
At 1:30 the wind after having in
creased to eight knots went back into
the south-southwest, making it dead
(head to the first turn, with Resolute
half a mile to windward and going
faster than Shamrock which seemed
loggy. , ,
As Shamrock was 23 seconds' later
than Resolute In crossing the line, but
must give her today a time handicap
of six minutes and 40 seconds, she
must finish six minutes and 1 8 sec
onds ahead of the defender to w and
six minute- and 17 seconds to tie.
The sloops stood well inshore to
gain advantage of tide. The wind was
Just strong enough to drive them
through the ground swell. Shamrock
pounded and slapped in the roll and
there was continual smother of water
under her snub bow.
At 1:S7 observers ashore estimated
that Resolute was leading. by only a
little more than .-- quarter of a mile.
Captain Burton evidently had given
up trying to forereach the Herreshoff
sloop and was beginning to pincn
Shamrock along the edge of the wind
At 1:50 when nearing the High
lands. Shamrock had picked up with
the aid of a small baby Jib topsail
and was doing better in the breeze
which had dropped back to six knots.
Apparently the skippers did not find
the wind they expected along the Jer
sey shore but they had the advantage
of the tide and kept on heading in
toward Seabright. Shamrock cut
down some of her rival's lead on the
tack Inshore, but at 1:55 the Ameri
can sloop was still quite a piece to
weather.
Sandy Hook. X. J.. July 23 The
tally was 2 to 1 In favor of the chal
lenger, which needed but one more
victory to lift the America's cup, v,-hen
Shamrock and Resolute prepared for
today's race
White end green hulled sloops rode
gain side by side in the shelter of
the Horseshoe after a day of rest spent
by the challenger in a State.n Island
dry dock where her sleek sides under
went another burnishtng. Shamrock
was also equipped with a new top
mast and a new topsail. The New
York Tacht Club announced tnat
pending a remeasurement of the
green sloop the race would be run to
day with a handicap of six minutes
end 40 second in favor of Rewlute.
unless the measurement, prob.-vbly af
ter the race, should alter these fig
ures. An eight knot southwesterly breeze
was blowing at 8 o'clock and with
passing to sea of an all night rain
storm prospects for a race were good.
Sir Thomas Lipton felt that Pham
rock's best chances of capturing the
perattex.mug lay in today's politest in
which the Irish sloop had "1 m'le.s of
reaching a point of sailing In v h'ch
she has shown superiority over Res
olute Should Resolute win today the
yachts will meet tomorrow over a '0
mile windward and leeward course
and the chances for Resolute a witch
at windward work in the deciding
contest would be bright indeed.
At 9:30 Shamrock slipped her
mooring and taking a tow left for
the starting line an hour earlier thun
usual.
Shamrock went out early to test
her new topsail and mninshe-t trav -
ler. whose deck fastenings gave away,
lightly during the last mco. j
The sea was smooth at 10:10 un-1
der an even breeze from the south-j
ward.
Resolute dropped her moorings at
10:18 and stood out under her own
all. A tug later took her in tow.
At 11:80 a thick bank of fog roll-1
ins in from off shore suggested a
possible delay in the start although
wind conditions were fairly good.
While the two cup sloops were
loitering around the Ambrose Chan
nel lightship at 11:30 in a four knot
breeze, a thick bank of vapor enclos
ed them, causing the regatta commit,
tee at 11:45 to order 15-minute post
ponements. At noon visibility about the light
ship was 100 yards. The breeze was
ibout three knots and as it was from
.he south, fog was predicted for the
.-st of the day.
At 12:10 the fog lifted and the
committee tug went into position to
astward of the lightship although
still flying the postponement flag.
The regatta committee at 12:30 set
signals for the following 30-mile tri
angular course:
A beat to windward from the Am
brose Channel lightship south-southwest
down the Jersey short; a reach
east by north out to sea and a reach
back to the lightship.
By 12:30 the wind had increased to
five knots, giving promise of a good
race.
The preparatory signal was sounded
at 12:45 for a start at 1 p. m. The wind
held at five knots.
Resolute was first across the line
today at the start of the fourth in
ternational yacht race.
With the blowing of the prepara
tory signal the two sloops stood away
to southward in the light breeze
and when the warning signal was
sounded at 12:55 they were 300 yards
to windward of the lightship.
Then they came about and reached
for the line with booms to star
board, but not sufficient air to per
mit any smart jockeying for the
start.
The yachts reached fast to east
ward of the committee boat and
along the line.
With a starting sounded at 1 p.
m.. Resolute crossed at 1:01:33 offi
cial time and Shamrock at 1:01:56
Then both plunged forward on the
first ten mile leg of their 30 mile
triangular course a beat to windward
down the Jersey shore.
it was Shamrock today tbat hung
i)aclc and allowed Resolute to set the
pace. Capt. Burton of the challenger
was very nearly handicapped having
otvly four seconds to get over the line
within the two minutes allowed after
the starting signal.
At 1:11 Resolute was easily a quar
ter of a mile ahead.
Both yachts crossed on the star
board tack and Resolute at once be
gan to gain. Ten minutes after the
start both tacked to port with Reso
lute 200 yards to windward going
quite fast and Shamroock almost be
calmed. The two, sloops broke out
baby jib topsails on crossing the line.

Aboard Steam Yacht Victoria, July
23 (By Wireless to the A. P.) Sir
Thomas Lipton was confident today
that he would realize the ambition of
years and take home the America's
Cup. Indeed, he said jokingly that
he had ordered the ship's carpenter
to build a box for it, but that it would
not do because it was not elaborate
enough.

STANLEY IN
ANOTHER
DENIAL
Says . He Believes Suckley
Referred to the Whole
Board Reiterates That
He Had No Thought of
Getting Cronan.
President John C. Stanley of the
Board of Police Commissioners em
phatically denied this morning that
he ever instructed former Assistant
Superintendent of Police Charles H.
Suckley to "get" ex-Captain Edward
O. Cronan of the detective bureau, as
was intimated by the former officer
when he recently told Commissioners
Primrose., Murphy and Anderson that
he did not mean them when he an
nounced that he was Instructed by
someone to "get" the detective chief.
"Whether Suckley said "commission
ers" or "commissioner" in his fare
well address to officers of the police
department, on Juliy 15, now seems to
be the bone of contention on which
J the entire ma.tter is resting. At any
rate
Suckley Cleared Anderson
'Mur-
pny an(i Primrose at the meeting
wnich was held Wednesday afternoon
at tlle Elks' club, and Stanley has put
forth his own defense in the following
statement which he issued today. Mr.
Stanley said:
"It was not my privilege to be pres
ent at the meeting July 15th, so that
I cannot, of my own knowledge, say
just what was said by Mr. Suckley;
but, from the statements of some of
the men present, and the account of
what he said, as it appeared in the
press, which was taken by men train
ed by long experience to report ac
curately what speakers say on such
occasions, and three gentlemen of the
press, all from different papers, re
Ported the same words and printed
same as Police Commissioners and
"the board."
"It does not seem possible that
they all could be mistaken in quot-
what was said, and I naturally as.
sumed they were correct. If they
were not corect, as is now claimed,
It is squarely up to the press of this
city to make a retraction of the pre
vious statements."
"I believe the reporters did get it
correctly for the reason If Suckley
said 'a commissioner,' the natural
thing would be for the reporters and
others to ask him whom he meant."
"However, I say again, most em
phatically, that there is absolutely no
truth in the statements that I told
anybody to "get" Captain Cronan or
anybody else.
"Assistant Superintendent Suckley
was present at the meeting of the
full board of commissioners and the
mayor, and then made his verbal
charges, which he had previously
made to me, and was told by me to
present them to the board Th- verbal
charges were heard by the board and
; the mayor, and after a lengthy dis
cussion, lasting several hours, the
board decided they would not enter
tain verbal charges, that if written
charges were preferred they would
entertain them. As president of the
board, I notified Suckley, who tame-
: diately presented written charges and
I the board voted to suspend Captain
Cronan and ordered him on trial."
I "The board did not summon a sin
I gle witness nor did they know who
the witnesses would be until tney en
tered the court room. All of the
evidence, was prepared at the time
of the trial by Suckley, and all wit
nesses were under oath. The Board
refused to consider some evidence
presented previous to trial by Suck
ley .tellintg him to present it in open
court."
"I, personally, had no knowledge
1 whatever of the Klla Miller affidavit
presented by Suckley, which he had
in his coat pocket, and was as sur
prised and astonished as was every
body else at its presentation."
"I was not present at, nor have I
any knowledge of, a meeting such as
Captain Cronan quotes Suckley as
stating I was present at with the
mayor, Mr. Meyers and Suckley."
"I do not believe that my stand
ing in the community requires verifi
cation of this statement. However,
if it does, I feel sure it will be read
ily sustained by Mayor Wilson and
Mr. Meyers." .

Do Not See How the
Company's Proposal
Will Solve the Traffic
Problem in This City.
The seven cent flat rate which the
Connecticut company has requested
will be of doubtful value in solving
the traffic problem in this city If the
Connecticut company carries out its
threat to stop trolley service on the
streets of Bridgeport next Monday,
according to the discussion of the
proposition throughout the city.
Most of the persons Interviewed
failed to see where the patronage of
the trolleys would increase when pa
trons would have to pay seven cents
for a ride on the trolley cars when
they can obtain the same service on
the Jitney busses for five cents.
According to the common interpre
tation of the wording of the proposi
tion the Connecticut company pro
poses to carry passengers to any place
within the city limits that is not
more than three miles from the cen
ter of the city for seven cents.
la outlying towns like Milford it is
figured that the new system would'
mean an additional increase. Origi
nally the fare to .Milford was ten
cents, then it was raised to 12 cents,
when the original zone syst i was
inaugurated the fare was boosted to
24 cents and under the ruling of the
Public Utilities Commission the rates
now in force call for 33! centi. on a
cash basis and 22 cents by the zone
ticket. Under the latest proposition
of the Connecticut it is figured that
the fare will be 28 cents cash, as it
will be four zones.
BELIEVE UNKNOWN
FELL FROM TRAIN
Investigations are being carried on
by Coroner John J. Phelan, as to the
identity of the man who was found
dead, on the west bound tracks, near
South Norwalk, Sunday morning.
The body was found with the top of
the head badly crushed, and laying
near the track. No evidences of foul
play could be 'found.
He has been identified by several
workmen on the railroad as a sec-
iHion hand. Several men thought he
was a man named Clinton ueianey,
but the testimony of one workman
stated that Delaney had tatto marks
on his left arm. The unidentified
body was not marked in that way.
The name "L. J. Langue" which
was sewed on his underwear was the
only clue found. The sum of $14
was also found in his pocket. His
clothes were in fairly good condi
tion. He is described aa appearing
about 32 years of age, and is dark.
The cause of his death has not as
yet been ascertained, but physicians
believe it was caused by falling from
a train. Besides the injuries to the
head, there were no other serious in
juries. The authorities believe that the
man was one of a gang brought to
the camp conducted for the section
hands, near Norwalk. The chef and
his asistant, both identified the man,
as being a section hand. The chef,
Simmohds, stated that on Saturday
morning he gave him a pork sand
wich. Upon investigation, such a
sandwich was found near the scene of
the fatality. r
The body is at present in' Wren's
Undertaking parlors. South Norwalk,
awaiting identification. The police
authorities are also investigating the
matter.
