Thus did Cornell haw to swallow the bitter pill which tomes of a fourth place?a-pill as bitter as aloes-for the big Red crew and the men who shouted themselves hoarse lit, a soul stirring despair for that big Red crew. Thus was Cornell forced to finish fourth for the first time in the inauy years of rowing up at fthaea. Never had Cornell been worse than third on the Hudson. Thirteen times had the proud Cocnellian led the fleet as it swung down through the spider web span and on to the finish. Si* times bad Cornell crews been second in the classic. Only five times had the Cayugans been ; ? bad as third. And to-day a fourth. The glorious age of Courtney seems to have gone?but Cornell knows it will come hack. Back there behind Cornell came Columbia, rowing as hard and as fast and us expertiy u? nn ui^i ...... porters had hoped it would?and yet getting no greater (dory thnn thaf which came ol' finishing fifth. It was a field of surpassing class?this set In which tlie Blue and White was pulling Its shell even faster than it had expected to pull j Columbia Kscape* Last Plare. Columbia whs as good as second at j one stage?at the half mfle marlc?but J when the Cornell shell crossed the line I the Blue and White was a few length* I behind It, and a little more than a length in front of Pennsylvania. Co- | lumbia also suffered the chagrin of be- j ing last for a short spell?for about ihree-quartprs of a mile in the second third of the battle. But the New j Yorkers had too much power to stay last, and gave old Columbia and Jim Bice the small satisfaction of escaping the lot which fell to them last year. When one compares the record made last year?14 minutes 7 seconds?with the times turned In by all six crews this day, the high caliber of the field and the gruelling nature of the contest, may , be realized fully, even if one was Ue- I nled a sight of ttie glorious struggle. Washington was timed in 13 minutes :S6 1-5 seconds; Syracuse In 13 minutes, 3* 3-5 seconds; Cornell In 13 minutes, ' .'IS 4-5 seconds Columbia In 13 minutes. : 45 1-5 seconds, and Pennsylvania In 13 1 minutes. 50 3-5 seconds. This rousing regatta over Yonkera In the lee of the Highlands was a wondtous sight and & wondrous competition apar? from the exciting varsity race. Had it ' nuea aner i?u on?.... - varsities and freshmen?it would have prone down as one of the greatest affairs yet seen in American rowing. Taken all in all. and take it from men wt.o have seen every regatta since the Pi'Ughkeepsie company got together, there never before was a set of races which bristled with red hot finishes and furious episodes as did this event to^ day. Cornell Seconds Win. Honors were admirably distributed, for no college won nitre than one event. To Cornell went the opening race, for junior varsity crews. To Syracuse went the second contest, for freshman elgn's. The Cornell Juniors oettered the record for the two mils race, being timed In 9 minutes 45 3-5 seconds, as against the old mark of 10 minutes 1-5 second set by the Cornell second eight of 1916. As in the varsity later, every crew In that Are race came home Inside the old standard. Columbia's Junior varsity, which finished two and & half lengths behind the Ithacans. rowed a surprisingly fine race and beat Syracuse and the two Pennsylvania entries into submission. The Blue and White beat the Orange by three-quarters of a length, while the pupils of Jim Ten Eyck led the Pennsylvania Juniors by a length and a half. The Pennsylvania 150 pound crew was last, half a length In the wake of Its heavier rival from Its own campus. Columbia was timed In 9:52. Syracuse In 9:54, the heavy Penn eight In 9:68 and the light crew In 10 minutes. Con aldering that the tide Just had turned /when that race waa rowed the time was phenomenal, as was the entire regatta. Columbia'* freshman crew sent Its supporters to the heights of hope and enthusiasm by showing the way for more than a mile and a half of the two mil? Journey. But Syracuse, with a far heavier and more powerful crew, could not be beaten off and the lighter Columbia eight fell behind. Syracuse won by a length and an eighth in 9 minutes 20 1-5 seconds? faster time fhitn was made In the Junior varsity but yet not a freshman record. The standard la 9 mlnutea 11 3-6 seconds, pet up by Cornell's yearlings in 1909. Even as Cornell and Syracuse battled for third honors In the varsity so did Columbia and Cornell have It out for second place In the freshman race. And Columbia, leader most of the way and valient to the end. found that It had sapped Itself just a little too much to keep In front of the Ithacans. In a driving finish which prepared the onlookers for the frenaled battle to come aoon afterward the Cornell youngsters took the place by only four feet. I.ooka I.Ike Dead This was not learned until after the regatta was over. From the observation train It looked like a dead heat. Columbia was three-quarters of a length In the van of Pennsylvania?poor old Penn, which collected three lasts and a place next to last In three races. Verily the cup of bitterness was filled to overflowing for the Red and Blue?and Joe Wright, their coach. Never was there a better setting for a regatta, never were therer better conditions than those which obtained this . vening when the varsity crews paddled out to the starting line. It was in the cold of the evening of rather a pleasant day. The tide was running fairly strong and a fine wind was coming down from the north?a following wind for the crews In their bout down the three mile stretch from Krum Elbow, near the Columbia bonthouse. Here nnd there fair weather clouds without n menace showed In the cerulean dome which stretcl^ed over one of June'a rare days and waa a rare eight Indeed. Ae the observation train rolled by the Columbia float from which the Washington stalwarts rowed out to the start the men from Seattle were seen with heads together, bowed?perhaps In a last minute confabulation, but as If In prayer. Fast Water for Vmry. True to schedule the fleet peddled out to the stake' boats. There wss Syracuse, eloseet to the west shore, with Columbls. In the second lane and Washington In the third. There wee the heralded Cornell eight, threatening to upset the Navy's supremacy, In the fourth course, with the Midshipmen right beside them and Pennsylvania far on the outside Rldhes come to those who need them most?and to the Navy, out In the middle of the river, came the fastest waters. They msda a pretty picture those six crews with torsos broneed by the sunn of a hundred days and tough<*>ed by the varied weather of a spring of hRrd work. Their frail cedar shells rode the waters w'th the languor and grace of so msnv sampeens on the China Sea calm which comos before the typhoon. The cmmlttio boat shot up and asked if ali were ready.

One length brtwr between Syracuse and Cornell. was a weird quality to the echo of a locomotive whistle as It bounded back and forth among the hills back there In the eastern hinterland. Finally Julian W. Ciirtiss of Yale, the referee, gave the word "Go" and away they went?all except Pennsylvania. Somebody had Jumped a slide and the Red and Blue went only a few yards, while the Navy, getting the best of the false start, went smashing down the river, oblivious of the mishap. A new start was called and five crews had to stop and paddle back to the stake boats. Cornell Nets the Price. There was only a short delay, and then a new start, this one a true start. It was 0:43 P. M.?and this time they all went away even. Now came the first surprise < f the race. It had been figured that Cornell would permit the powerful Midshipmen to go out and set the pace, and lie back j to worry the Navy with Intermittent ] spurts. Instead the Ithacans shot out to make the going. That may have been j the best plan after all but the reiiult j was not the happiest. Cornell gel some i satisfaction out of leading for quite a ! spell. At the half mile it was Cornell, i Columbia, the Navy, Syracuse, Washington and Pennsylvania In the order j named. Nearing the mile Cornell let j loose at a 36 and the 'Navy followed j suit. The result wan a terrific spurt i which sent the Ithacans and the mid- ; shlprnen away from the rest. At the mile mark Cornell was show- j Ing the way. but i's lead was only five j feet. Cornell tried to shake the sailors j off, but they would not be shaken. The I Navy had a lead of a length over Washington and the coast crew had only five j feet on Syracuse, with Columbia three- j quarters behind Shortly Hfter that Washington staged its first rally and started the first of ! the long series of wild demonstrations ; on shore. Fearing the mad Washing- ' tonlans, the Navy spurted and forced : Cornell to follow suit. At the mile and , a quarter Cornell lost Its short lived ! glory. The Navy moved Into the lead and Cornell found itself confronted with the necessity of fighting off a new foe from behind. At a mile and three-quarters the Cornell crew put on a desperate spurt to regain the lead. But the Navy was out there to keep In front of the Ithacans to the finish. The Navv hit a 36 and ! hit It with polish and power. There i was no lost motion (here; there was no , fault In the application of Its terrific drive. The Navy spurted. Cameli spurted, Washington came on like mad, Syracuse rallied, four shells lapping as they j neared the high span. This was a real raeo If ever there was one anywhere. Then the bridge, and the two mile < mark?the race two-thirds over and 1 that last gruelling, desperate, heart ; testing and muscle wearying mile to go. j The Navy had left Cornell behind by half a length. Cornell was a similar I distance abend of Washington?and all ' going like mad Penn had passed Co- i lumbla, which was last, definitely out \ of the fight. What a struggle In that last mile, | what a scrap In that last half, what ; waves of cheers broke against the high- j I lands and echoed and re-echoed across j the waters to the struggling crews and ; died 'In the distant hills' Thousands ran through the gamut of human emotions. thousnnds of hearts Jumped with the thrill of the contest, thousands of pulses hammered as the crews went smashing through this thunder of ap| preclatlon. Cornell It till let. Stroking Into that last mile Cornell , organised a fighting rally. The Navy 1 was to be tested as few other eights had been tested. If there was a weak- j ness in that link It would be exposed ' now. If there was the faintest suspt- j I clon of a falter It was to he forced I mercilessly to the fore. Cornell sent ltd stroke to 37. rad- j Ically high for the Ithacans, but the i ! Navy lilt 3d. Washington came up | j foot, hitting 36 with that peculiar short | . stroke?and gaining.

And how Washington was coming I "The Navy Is tired and Is wilting," ; shouted men In the observation train. ! I "Cornell and the Navy have killed each other off and the fogy coast eight Is j ! moving up to win," opined some of. ! the veterans. Whether to win or to lose. Washington was coming like the mighty Thor on his chariot, throwing bolt* of power to the right and left and smashing the opposition before It. Oreat as the Navy was, It. could not stop the herculean onrush of the Seattle giants. At two and a quarter miles Waehing( ton took the lead The air was filled j with wild yells end wild shouts Thou- : ! sands went to the support of this "under 1 dog"?this courageous Washington crew which wns making so nohle n fight.

At two and a half miles It was Washington i first by five feet. It was Navy second by three-quarters of a length, and Syracuse coming like a thousand furies to challenge Cornell and ultimately to wrest Phlrd place from the big Red crew. For perhaps a hundred yards they rowed in that order?'Washington showing the way to the pick and the pride of the East. About 700 yards to go now? 700 yards of torture?700 yards which were destined to emphasize the greatness at the Navy crew, ?ne Intrepid spirit of the service, and the greatness, too, of the best crew which yet has come out of the ! West. For perhaps a hundred yards Washington set the pace and gained an honor which never before had been won by a crew from the coast. For about one hundred yards the Navy had to hold a position it had not held since a Princeton eight won over It last year. Rut this Navy eight was not to he headed for long. Up went the stroke to a 40. and Washington was at a loss. Up went the stroke and out went the shell to regain tho lead while 30,000 exercised their vocal chords to the limit while steamboat, yacht and powerboat whistles tooted and screeched mid shrieked. "Navee, Navee, fight, fight, fight!" j came the unneeded call from several hundred cadets from West Point who j were gathered at the finish line.

It was a great spectacle as well as a great competition. For Poughkeepsie V was perhaps the last regatta. The railroad and the city do not quite appreciate the coming of the regatta each year, and the intercollegiate association may move to a more enthusiastic locality.

One of the Democratic lenders! expressed amazement at the import- ! c ance which Congressional representa- c tives of the party attach to the bonus.

In other words, service men of Republican inclinations vote for Republican candidates, while those of Democratic sympathies respond to normal influences of that p^rty. The manifest tendency Democratic Senators and Representatives to Ignore the established policies of the party treat Indifferently the achievements of the Wilson administration (asldo from the League of Nations Issue) and resort only to criticism without suggesting remedies for existing evils Is frankly deplored by most of the Democratic leaders. They do not view with approval the frenzied efforts of their Congressional spokesmen merely to match the Republicans In aligning themselves for or against momentary fads to placate a noisy but politically powerless minority. One of the most experienced of the Democratic leaders said to-day that aside from the tariff the Democratic Congressional program will ' prove of doubtful value In the coming contest. What Is needed, in his Judg- ' ment. Is a definite constructive policy I which will yield "real Issues." 1 Ckl>f at I'nrtT. i The chief need of the party as ap- d praised by this qualified spokesman la f a supreme leader whoae wlahes and P views will be respected.

One or two of the 1 L'atlers credit Mr. Hearst with knowrig a "soft spot" when he perceives ne. The Democratic party is flnan- , ially broke.

Hearst really wants to make a bid or control of the Democratic party >r is intent on the creation of an enirely new enterprise made up of the nore radical elements of the country * n both parties. Analysis of the so alled issues for which Mr. Hearst lands and a comparison of them with , ecent Republican as well as Demo- \ ratio undertakings has convinced omc of the Democratic leaders that dr. Hearst believes this to be the isychological moment for springing 1 brand r.ew political party. Hearst Followers In Congress. In both houses of Congress are | Senators of both parties who have j omc to be kpown as Hearst Demo:rats or as Hearst Republicans. The ight over the treaties negotiated by i he armaments conference clearly repealed a greater degree of sympathy >n the part of thirty-four of the 1 hlrty-six Democratic Senators for he international program favored by dr. Hearst than for that sponsored >y Mr. Wilson. On the Republican aide are Senators who have manifested unmistakable tympathy for the so-called issues munciated by Mr. Hearst. The posi:ion assumed by these gentlemen on lome of the questions relating to the Harding policies has resulted in their 5eing dubbed "Hearst Republicans." On more than one occasion these; 3cnators hare openly antagonized the Republican policies as enunciated by Vfr. Harding. This is conspicuously :rue of the so-called agricultural bloc. >f which Mr. Capper, the millionaire publicist, is the leader.

The fact a that Senator Johnson always has a >rogram of his own which may harnonizo with Mr. Hearst's In spots tut Is fundamentally Republican. Democratic leaders who discussed ho lay of the political land to-day lo not believe there Is much chance or Mr. Hearst staging a third party vent. They think it more probable le will make a bid to get control of he Democratic organization, a plan i rhleh they are quite confident they rill bo able to foil. As far as potentiul Presidential andidates are concerned the Demoratic leaders who discussed the out- . >ok to-day concurred In the opinion hat It would bo sheer nonsense to redlct anything In that line. They perned to think, however, that Mr. Hlson will have a great deal more , say about the selection of the next emocratic standard bearer than any her man In the country; but none f them seemed to have any fixed pinion as to his wishes In this dlrecon.

HOME REVOLT LEADS FORDNEY TO RETIRE Ways and Means Chairman Announces He Will Not Run for Reelection. BONUS STAND RESENTED i Also His Tariff Legislation Js, Criticized?House Leader j Says He Is Tired. 1 Special Dispatch to Juk New York Heeald. ; ?w York Herald Rureau. I Wuifalnctnn, It. C'., June M. ( Representative Fordney (Mich.), chairman of the Way* and Means Committee of the House, sponsor of the bonus raid on the Treasury and of the bludgeon tariff which has aroused a storm of protest over the country, today announced that he would not Ik* a candidate for reelection, much to the jurprise of his colleagues and friends. Mr. Focdhey'a explanation was that he is tired and lias achieved hla ambition, and that he intenda to devote more time to his family, which he has been, he says, forced to neglect durlnfc the twenty-four years lie has been in Con- ! rreaa. But an entirely different story reached the Capitol to-day as the real reason for Mr. Fordney's sudden determination to juit. It was to the effect that the reirrtlt npfilnQl him in his hnrno rlintrlrt hp. ' ~au*? of his efforts to saddle a burden of $5,000,000,000 or more on the public as a political bait to able bodied exservice men and his connection with the pending unscientific tariff bill, which would tend to raise the cost of living, has reached great magnitude. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, Mr. Fordney concluded to throw up the sponge. Furthermore, It is said Mr. Fordney began to see the light after the primaries In Iowa, Indiana and Pennsylvania and decided he would not take a chance with the electorate this fall. Mr. Fordney has represented for twelve ronseeutive terms the Saginaw district, which, prior to his entrance into politics, was Democratic. He resented to-day in strong terms the suggestion that he was quitting under fire or was afraid to allow the voters to get> at him at the polls this autumn. "The fact is." he said. "I am 69 years Did and have achieved my ambition. I am proud of my connection with both the tariff and the bonus bills, both of which will be enacted into law at this session. I am sure my people would give me a vote "of confidence on these measures If I were disposed to give them a chance. However, I am tired and need a rest and my good wife has prevailed on me to spend more time with her during our declining years. I feel that I have done my share of the public work." The resignation of Mr. Fordney and the reasons accepted by many that it was due to unpopularity of the bonus and tariff have thrown a new scare into the hearts of the bonus advocates on the Senate aide of the Capitol, where the bonus raid measure la now pending. No effort was made on either side of the Senate to bring the question before the body to-day and the plans for th# future are shrouded In mystery. Senator Watson (Ind.) did say the bill would not be brought before the Senate until after the tariff bill Is disposed of, but he Indicated that was only his private opinion. No one on the Democratic side would hazard a guess about the fate of the measurb". Meantime the Republican leaders are making a drive to fore# through a cloture rule to speed the tariff bill.

Senators Borah rgrf La Follette refused pointblank to sign the cloture petition or to support such a motion. While Senators Moses (X.

Should Republican leaders fail to get the necessary ttvo-thlrd vote to enforce (lie present cloture rule they will endeavor to amend the Senate rules so as fo invoke cloture upon a majority vote of the Senate. As soon as It was learned that Mr. Fordney Intends to <iuit Congress there was considerable talk among House j members in favor of ignoring the se- | niorlty rule in naming his successor, j Representative Green (Iowa) Is the I ranking mfmbw of the Ways and Means Committee, and under the seniority rule would step Into Fordnevs snoes.
