S. BOARD DUTIES FROM THE CANTABS Annual Boat Race Between Rival English Crews a Procession. WEATHER AGAIN UNFAVORABLE Victors Take Lead at Start and Are Never Headed Form of Both. Eights Good. Tutney, England, April 1 The Oxford eight today won with the greatest ease the sixty-ninth annual boatrace between eight-oared trews representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge over the usual course on the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake.

The Dark Blues finished six lengths ahead of the Cantabs, their time for the entire course of four miles and a quarter being 22 minutes seconds. Weather which compared unfavorably even with that of Saturday, when both of the boats were swamped at different parts of the course and the contest was declared by the umpires to be "no prevailed throughout the morning and until the last moment It was not believed that the crews would be able to re-row the race at noon. However, after going over the course, the umpire decided that a start should be made as arranged. Oxford again won the toss and chose the Middlesex or Northern side, which gave them a slight advantage over the Light Blus, the wind today blowing from the northwest. It was a procession more than a race.

The Dark Blues pushed the nose of their shell to the front on the first stroke, and were never threatened at any point of the course. By the time a quarter of the distance had been covered, the Oxonians were two lengths ahead and soon after shooting Hammersmith Bridge, which Is about half the distance, they crossed Into the Light Blue's water. From that point the Ox ford stroke, R. C. Bourne, did not press his men.

hut the Dark Blue boat contin ued widening its lead until It passed Barnes Bridge, six lengths In front of the Cantabs, and this advantage maintained until the end. Considering the unfavorable weather conditions, the form of both of the crews was good. The official times for the Oxford crew at the various Dolnts were: One mile, minutes 47 seconds; Hammersmith Bridge, 9 minutes 20 seconds; Chlswlck Evot. 14 minutes 6 seconds; Barnes Bridge, 18 minutes 30 seconds; finish, at Mortlake, 22 minutes 5 seconds.

Elie Koodinoph has finished his Jaunt from Brooklyn across the continent, and Is now in San Francisco. Koodinoph Is a safety match Importer, and lived at 37 Columbia Heights when, last October, he began his long bike to the Pacific Coast. When he started out he predicted that six months would see the end of his Journey. The Eagle has received a letter from Koodinoph, dated March 24 In San Elie Koodinoph, Who Has Walked Across the Continent From Jirooklyn. Francisco, and as the match Importer left this city on October 10, his trip was made about two weeks under the time he allowed.

Koodinoph started off after both Mayor Gaynor and Borough President Steers had refused to write him letters of Identification. Before leaving he visited The Eagle, and he said that after reaching San Francisco he might begin another Journey on foot, through Alaska to the Behrlng Strait, across by raft to Russia, and the length of Siberia and on to Paris. In his latest letter to The Eagle the Brooklyn pedestrian makes so mention of theBe plans. The last stages of Koodlnoph's Journey, across the Great American Desert, brought many hardships to the walker. For days he was without food, and kept himself alive by chewing orange skinB.

He followed the railroad tracks and picked up skins which bad dropped from orange-laden trains bound eaBt from California. Koodinoph reached Cleveland early in November, and his first letter to The Eagle was written there. It was while there that he swore off smoking and drinking for the rest of his life. On November 11 Koodinoph wrote to The Eagle from South Bend, lnd. On November 22 he reached Chicago, which, he wrote, was the forgotten city forgotten by its of ficials, and forgotten by the God Him self." Late In December the Brooklyn man wrote that he was passing through Kansas.

That was the last heard from him until his letter from San Francisco. In this letter Koodinoph writes In part: My walking across the country has been a very miserable one, I confess, but regardless of all that I have had a foolish determination to continue on my walking, and wanted to complete my trip on foot to the end, so I did; but, oh, at what hardships and sufferings! 'Although I don regret the time I have lost in walking, because I bad a great pleasure to see so many different things and so many new Ideas of business for a man to make his living In any town or city of the country, that makes me feel very happy. So I will always Bay that I have had a very useful trip on foot. San Francisco Is very poorly rebuilt. The rent Is awfully high In the good streets of business, but In the other streets is still nothing but heaps of ruins and desolation, and does look like it was in the desert I have Just crossed.

'From Kansas 1 turned more south, and crossed part of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California, and 1,200 miles was almost entirely nothing but a deBert." PUBLIC PLEASANTLY FOOLED. Laundry Trust, So-Called, Didn't Raise Prices Today. The much-talked-of April Fool's Day surprise that was going to be sprung on the public by the new so-called "Laundry Trust," In raising the prices on all work, did not happen. And it is not going to. John Marks, president of the New York Laundry Company, at 20 Bergen street, and vice president of the "trust," made known today that no change will take place, nor has there been an anticipation of any.

He stated that the combination of sev eral laundries throughout the borough was not done for the purpose or getting more money out of the public, but to enable the people to have their work done quicker and better. There will be no decrease In the future, as has also been hinted through certain channels. The public, according to Mr. Marks, is getting a square deal from the laundries, the prices now being charged affording only a living profit. SETTLES EDDY ESTATE CLAIM.

Boston, April 1 George W. Baker, one of the Bix claimants to the eBtate of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science denomination, In case the court failed to uphold her will, announced today that he had accepted an offer of settlement and would withdraw from the litigation. The amount Is not stated. TIRED WOMAN A SUICIDE.

Despondent and worn out from overwork, Mrs. Anna Van Esy, 46 years old, who lived with her husband anil two children in the crowded tenement house at 202 Sou'h First, street, committed suicide I yesterday by drinking a mixture of pot- New Commissioner Confers With Chairman Willcox and Issues Statement. WOULD HASTEN DIGGING, And Is for Brooklyn and Queens First and All the Time, He Says, George V. S. Williams, the new Public Service Commissioner appointed by Governor DIx to succeed William McCar-roll, as Brooklyn's representative, began the duties of his new office today.

Mr. Williams reached the Commission early this morning and after meeting the other members of the Commission spent the entire morning conferring with Chairman William R. Willcox In regard to general matters and to the Public Service Commission's attitude on transit. The new commissioner issued the following general statement: cannot make any statement at this time In regard to the building or operation of the subways. The only Information I have concerning the proposed new subway agreements has been gained from newspaper reports and I have been too much engaged In' legislative work to give even these much attention.

I have only one definite opinion on the subject. I know that the people of the City of New York need better transportation fa cilities and need them at once. My duty as I see it Is to try to hasten the actual ouiiding of Bubways but how that result is to be best achieved I can only learn through study of the situation. Until I have made that study I shall not decide upon any policy." Mr. Williams talked to the newspaper representatives In the office of the chairman.

He handed out copies of the foregoing statement when asked It he would say anything regarding his attitude toward subway matters. He then said: Is for Brooklyn and Queens First and All the Time. "I will say one thing more. As I explained to the men up in Albany I am for Brooklyn first and all the time. And I want to add Queens to that.

I have a great deal of Interest In Queens matters and In things over there." Mr. Williams when asked If he would have anything further to say later, added: "I am going to talk vfvlth several men, Mayor Gaynor among them, and get their views on the transit question. I haven't informed myself fully enough to make any statement as to my position." It was pointed out to the commissioner that the Mayor had given a long talk on subways to a morning newspaper today. "I saw that," said Williams, "and I am going to read what he has to say. I haven't had time as yet." Mr.

Williams Is staying at the Hotel Mohawk In Washington avenue, but may take a house. The commissioner laughingly denied a story that he had sold his big farm at Huntington, L. I. "No," he said, "I haven't sold that and I am not going to do bo. I'll begin to go down there aB soon as summer comes." NEW P.

0. BANK OPENS. A new postal savings bank, the fourteenth branch of the Brooklyn postofflce, was opened this morning at Station 1915-1917 Fulton street, near Howard avenue. Three depositors were in line at 9 o'clock. Only nine branch stations, covering Blythebourne, Coney Island, Bath Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Vanderveer Park, Fort Hamilton, and other suburbs, are now without poBtal savings banks.

Station Is the last of the large branches to get one. Postmaster Edmund W. VoorhleB has under consideration a plan for extending the system to take In the suburban stations. TAYLOR WILL SUE POLICEMEN Lawyer I'unish Officers Who Summariiy Arrest Pawnbrokers. Lawyer Franklin W.

Taylor declared today that he was going to sue every po liceman who arrests pawnbrokers of Greater New York for refusing to give up property alleged to be stolen property. "Every policeman who so violates the law of the charter, the constitution and of personul rights hereafter will be sued for $10,000," said Mr. Taylor. "I shall serve a summons today upon Acting Captain Graham, a detective In charge of the Queens precinct. Graham arrested Hugh Lavery, a pawnbroker, who refused to give up some Jewelry alleged to have been pawned by a thief.

"The Pawnbrokers Association has taken definite steps to stop the alleged summary arrests and threats of arrests by police officers, who come to pawnshops and demand any piece or jewelry or clothing without the slightest attempt to identify the owner. Attorney Taylor maintains that a policeman can Just as rlehtfully enter a home and arrest a resident for refusing to give to a claimant any piece of furniture." He added: 'The law provides a metnoa to regain stolen property, a method that Is orderly and legal, but It does not permit a policeman, minus a warrant, to arrest a pawnbroker wnen ne inBistB on Deing convinced of the proper ownership. The course now being pursued opens up, to the mind of every unprejudiced observer, the worst system of graft imaginable. Even Mayor Gaynor never meant to open such channels. He knows too much about law to stand for policemen demanding property In such a way and arresting a pawnbroker if the goods are not immediately forthcoming." WILLS FILED MARCH 30.

Fire of unknown origin broke out la3t night in the rear of a poolroom at 209 liuffitlo avenue, owned by John Brown of 482 Halsey street, and occupied by John Howe.

The firemen had a lot of trouble extinguishing the-blaze. The damage. amounting to $500, was covered by Government Joins in Plea With Request for Permission to Intervene. ANTI-TRUST LAW AFFECTED. Supreme Court Decision Sustained Right of Patentee to Attach Restric tions to Sale of Invention.

Washington, April 1 The defeated parties to the "patent monopoly" case, recently decided four to three, by the Supreme Court of the United States, today asked the court to rehear the Issue before a full bench. The United States Government Joined in the appeal, with a request for permission to intervene, because the case Is regarded of the greatest public Importance and Involves the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law. The Government's application, signed by Attorney General Wlckersham and Solicitor General Lehmann, vigorously declares the court's decision sustaining the right of a patentee to attach to the sale of an invention restrictions stipulating that the purchaser must use In connection with the patented article only such supplies, which are not patented, as are bought from the patentee of the Invention, seriously concerns the-United States In a number of civil and criminal cases now pending under the Sherman law. The decision, the Government submits, "extends the power of property held under letters patent beyond the warrant of the Constitution and the grant of the patent laws, and puts It above the authority of Congress to regulate commerce among the several States, and above the universal limitation expressed In the maxim, "So use your own as not to Injure another's'." The distinctive right conferred by the letters patent cannot be made by the act of the patentee to attach to anything in which some quality of his Invention does not exist, the petition continues. "It springs from the invention and Is limited to the Invention, and while It is inluslve.

It Is not and to a contract, even If also related to the Invention, If Its purpose and effect Is to secure control or monopol of something else than the Invention. Is not saved, even as a contract, by anything In the patent laws, but offends the public policy of the United States and is void as being In re stralnt of trade." FORECLOSE MENGIS MORTGAGE Brian C. Hughes Plaintiff in Suit Against Former House Owner. Notice of a sale, following a Judgment of foreclosure, printed In the newspa-nem that Brian Q. Hughes, the well known Jokesmlth and funmaker, has been extending nis ao tlvlties in other fields.

He appears as the plaintiff In the case and the defendant Is Morris Mengls of SheepBhead Bay, the father nf Roberta Mengls-Corwln-Hill, and himself the one-time plaintiff In a suit for $1,000,000 which he Is said to have settled for nearly J500.000. Mr. Hughes is advertising some property belonging to Mr. Mengls for Bale to satisfy a Judgment of $1,129.10 obtained in a tore- closure suit. According to Lawyer Henry E.

Helstad of 190 Montague street, attorney for Mr. Hughes, the latter loaned $1,000 some time ago to Mengls on the property at the corner of Voorhles avenue and East Fifteenth street, SheepBhead Bay. Default In payment was followed by the foreclosure suit In which Judg ment has been entered and Wallace N. Vreeland has been tppolnted the ref eree to conduct the sale, advertised for April 24, The sale Is William H. Smith being the auctioneer, Mengls has had an Interesting career.

For many years he was an owner ol race horses. His suit against General Louis Fitzgerald, Alvin Krech and a number of other well known Wall street magnates for $1,000,000 as his fee for showing Fitzgerald and his friends a chance to make big money In the purchase of tho Western Maryland, was tried twice. The first time Mengls got a Judgment for the full amount This was set aside by the Appellate Division and there was a disagreement of the Jury on tho second trial. Then a settlement followed, rumor crediting Mengls with receiving nearly one-half of his claim. SEEK TO RECOVER $80,000,000 Bolin and Haffyard Heirs Meet Here and Discuss Plans.

Descendants of the Bolln and Haffyard families, who claim to be the heirs to vast wealth In Newfoundland, met here yesterday at the Instigation of their lawyer, W. W. La Point, to formulate plans for the recovery of about $80,000,000 worth of property In the English possessions at Newfoundland. The meeting occurred at 84 Fourth lace, the home of A. Ugdren.

The lawyer maintained that the heirs were being deprived of property and wealth due them. J. Hannaford was appointed treasurer, and James Walsh secretary of the two associations. The claim for this money is based on a power of attorney said to have been granted by King George III to Richard Haffyard, a grandson of Samuel Churchill, who made the original fortune In St. John's, N.

F. The contention will draw Into a contest some Boston heirs who have organized, the Duke of Devonshire, the English crown property and many others. TRIES SUICIDE; FAILS.

They respectfully called upon the bench, having In "especial charge the Covenant of the Union" to see that the boundaries of the States remain. It was the first time In the history of the nation that such a protest had been made. The protest took the nature of a brief filed as "friends of the court" by a com mUtea of coVArnnra. Harmon of Ohio, Herbert S.

Hadley of Missourt, and Charles H. Aldrlch of Nebraska. This committee was selected at a conference of governors last September. The brief was submitted In connection with the "State rate cases," set for oral argu ment today. The brief was that of peculiar Interest coming bo Boon after the most recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission that railroads submitting to low State rates must give similar rates on lntarntnta hnnfnefln.

Because the federal circuit court In the Minnesota freight and passenger raue enaea helrt the rates Invalid not only as confiscatory but by reason of their effect nn InterntRte commerce, that case WIS taken as the text for the governors' pro-teat It was declared that what was said went directly to the right of every State to regulate State commerce, and was designed particularly to be applicable to the Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Kentucky, Ohio, Arkansas and West Virginia rate caBes before the court, toe governors had nothing to say about the confis-cntnrv nature at the rates, but confined themselves to the Interstate phase of the nnpaHon. The committee of governors set forth the claim that because Minnesota nau required the railroads to reduce their rates from such cities as St. Paul, to Duluth, on the Seate boundary the Interstate business of the railroads from St. Paul to Superior, Just across the line from Duluth, had been affected. Similar conditions, It was stated, were to be found In Kansas City, and Kansas City, East Louis, 111., and St.

Louis, Omaha, and Council Bluffs, Cincinnati, and Covington and Newport, Ky. DiBresard of Federal Constitution Claimed. The vice of the Minnesota decision, It wns nreed. wa not In an Incorrect state ment of Minnesota geography, but in the plain disregard of the provisions of tne federal constitution, which established the relation of the nation and the States by giving one control over Interstate matters and the other control over State flff It was admitted that there might be some effect on Interstate commerce when States regulate State rates, but it was asserted time and again In the brief that if a railroad enjoys a reasonable return under State rates. It enjoys every right to which It is entitled.

"The test cannot be," declare the Governors, "whether the effect of fixing the local rates may or will be to lead the railroads to lower their Interstate rates, but whether the local rates are fair and reasonable, for If they are so, and the sum of them is so much lower than the Interstate rates as to lead shippers to take the trouble and risk of rebilling or reBhlpplng at State lines, this Is a perfectly lawful condition, the advantage of which the public is entitled to enjoy. And as the cost and convenience of carriage in that v.ay can be no less, but, as is well known, would rather be greater, the advantage would remain with the through rate, even if It were reduced so as to equal the sum of the local rates. The railroads cannot Invoke the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution to shield themselves against fair and rea sonable rates fixed by a State for Its own Internal business. The effect of these on Interstate rates Is not only Incidental and Indirect, but also legitimate under the dual form of Government through which we enjoy happiness and prosperity beyond compare. "If the local rates as reduced by Minnesota are still fair, and the reduction leads the railroads to lower through rates correspondingly, then Interstate commerce will have been relieved of a burden Instead of having one Imposed on It; and this would be accomplished not directly by the State's regulation of its own commerce, but indirectly by the action of the railroads themselves, which would be only Just and right." Consequences of Minnesota Decision Would Destroy State Control.

Testing the Minnesota decision by Its consequences, the Governors declared that It was plain that the inevitable effect of the idea that business necessities, peculiar location of lines of transportation and of commercial centers can make an act of a State regulating Its local rates a regulation of Interstate rates, and, therefore, Invalid, would be the destruction of the State control over Its own affairs. "The right of State regulation extends to every business conducted within Its borders, though such business may also extend into interstate commerce. Any act regulating or alfectiug an enterprise having an Interstate character necessarily affects the conditions under which it competes with like enterprises carried on In other States. This will apply to telephones, telegraphs natural gas and oil companies and many other enterprises. And the passage of a law regulating the hours of labor within one State might make it difficult or Impossible for Its corporations or citizens to compete successfully with those engaged In the same business In other States where no regulation exists.

The same condition would arise from the passage of a workman's compensation law or a law changing the liability of employers In one State, when other States have no such laws or different the doctrine is to be that the laws of trade may make the performance of a lawful duty by a State in the regulation of corporations doing business therein a regulation of interstate commerce, a to prescribe the test or rule for applying It? Or shall we go to the logical conclusion xaat lue JUWB ui naua na higher than the Constitution and must prevail without regard to the directness or extent of real or fancied interference with their full operation and effect?" In concluding, the Governors declared that the rate cases Involved no conflict between State and Federal authority, but a controversy between tne aiatcs anu tne railroads. "No one contends that Congress could exercise any control over the purely internal commerce of the States." it was aserted. "The enect or me decision is not to take power irom tne states aim leave It with Congress, but to take power from the States and leave the railroads free to charge whatever rates they please in their traffic within the states, lor the States cannot regulate these rates no body can. "The Fourteenth Amendment protects the rights of carriers from Invasion under the guise of regulation by either State or Nation.

But this is not bo hard as it would be to trace the Indirect effects of regulation by the States and by Congress back and forth across the boundary of their respective Jurisdictions. The boundary itself is plainly marked. We who have to do with administering the judicial power have In especial charge the covenant of the Union and our plain duty Is to see that this boundary is respected, leaving further responsibility to the people of the country and the agencies they have created for the regulation of commerce, State and Inter-State."

Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Will you allow me, through your columns, to thank the prominent citizens who, in all parts of the borough, supported the movement to defeat the proposition to erect an elevated road on Franklin avenue. I would suggest that an organization of such disinterested people be formed throughout Brooklyn to combat any similar proposition for the erection of elevated roads within certain precincts, to be determined later. Our experience la the recent contest has taught us that a large number of people believe that elevated roads in such precinicts create more evils than they remedy, and that they are an archaism which should be abolished from this time on.
