CORNELL IS VICTOR Ithaca Team for.. Ninth Time Wins Laurels Over the Poughkeepsie Course. THE FRESHMEN WIN ALSO
Poughkeepsie, New York, June 25 For the ninth time since college boat racing began over this course, Cornell captured the honors in the varsity four-oared race. The Cornell, freshmen also finished first. At the end of the race which was a hard one, the Columbia varsity shell upset. No one jras injured. The race was nerve racking from tart to finish and this increased the ' value of the laurels. Tonight the youths from Ithaca are marching through the streets with brooms in their hands sweeping everything before them. The streets are given over to them because they have a right to Bweep. The order at the finish of the varsity race was: Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, Pennsylvania. Time, 11:43 2-5. The freshmen eights finished: Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
Waiting on the Action of the Supreme Court is A dministration Which is Expecting More Laurels

Washington, June 25. Although this administration has already earned the reputation of being a trustbusting machine, greater laurels may await it when the Supreme Court of the United States convenes in October next. Past experience has demonstrated that the wheels of Justice move
slowly, but since Congress has passed an "expedition" act (largely a measure
based upon the statute books through
the influence of Attorney General
Wickersham), a number of cases of
great public interest have been pushed
forward for early decision.
Cases in which the government is
an Interested party have been allows to encumber the record of the Supreme Court through the disinclination of the
government to push the cases, and purely because other matters have oc
cupied the attention of the govern
ment prosecutor. The docket of the
Supreme Court today is so crowded with cases mostly of a private nature about one-fifth of the total number being cases in which the government is a party, that it is thought it will take that body at least three years to clear the record. Should the government cases follow the regular call, that is, await their turn on the record it would take at least six month from the time the Supreme Court convenes before the first case would receive a hearing, and fully a year after that before the second case could be considered.
Under the government expedition act.
however, the Supreme Court has ad
vanced for argument In October the
most important cases In which the government is interested. Hearing on the cases in open court will" occupy the at
tention of the jurists until January, when the bench takes a recess for the purpose of compiling decisions. For
this reason, it is expected by the "legal
sharks" connected with the Department of Justice, that a decision will
not be handed down in any of the very
important corporation cases until after
the Christmas holidays.
During the period of from October
to January forty-three out of fiftythree government cases have been advanced and assigned for hearing. Eight cases affecting private citizens are also scheduled for hearing during this tim?.
An investigation of the record of the
docket of the Supreme Court shows that in the first four hundred cases on the docket call the United States has sixty-six cases counting class cases as one. The solicitor General of the De
partment of Justice will appear in one
case in approximately every four and
half. In the first three hundred
have aggregated over fGO.OOO. The largest case was a ju&gment of $45,000 rendered against Grant Brothers Construction Co., of Los Angeles, Cal., who imported 45 aliens from Mexico. The offense committed on October 20. 1909 when an attempt was made to bring in the men from Mexico through the border immigration station of Naco, Arizona. From this point they were forwarded to work on a branch
road of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co., at Courtland, Arizona. On examination by the immigration Board they were rejected and denied admission. The case was then reported to the local United States attorney and a civil suit brought against the Grant Bros. Co., in an effort to collect the statutory penalty. After a long trial the government was successful and obtained a judgment for $43,000, being $1,000 fine for each alien imported.
Sometimes, however, the contract alien law works an apparent hardship. A newspaper Imported an instrument of English manufacture for the purpose of transmitting photographs by wire, paying a large import duty when it reached this country. It was found necessary later to either import skilled mechanics to repair the machine or to
send the machine across the ocean for repair in England. Under the contract alien law, the mechanics could not gain admission into this country. If they did, the owner of the instrument wa3 subject to a fine of $1,000 per man. On the other hand if the instrument was sent back to England, the owner was under the necessity of paying another duty upon its re-arrival in this country. Treasury Department officials who Investigated the matter decided that they could not let down the bar.
A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS
New York, June 25. The improving tendencies intimated in last week's ad- j vices have been confirmed by a moderate recovery in values which has taken place since then. Recent developments have certainly been of a more encouraging nature, and while the situation is not without its perplexities and drawbacks, still favorable factors prevail for the time being. Chief among these is the crop outlook. Some attempt to create alarm was made by the professional crop killers, who caused a temporary flurry in both stock and wheat by the circulation of exaggerated damage reports; but the latter met with prompt denial by more reliable authorities, and exerted only a passing influence. It should be remembered that this is the season when the crop-killer exercises his most pernicious activities, and all sensations of this character should be guardedly accepted. There is little excuse for being carried away by false alarms, because the Government now publishes very elaborate weather reports in the daily newspapers, and the study of these would prove an important check upon this insidious foe of the farmer and business man alike. As a matter of fact the crop outlook for the country at large is quite satisfactory, and with the advent of higher temperatures is im-
nrovine dailv. Some damage has
cases on the regular call the govern- Deen done to spring wheat, which ear-
ment has seventy-two cases, counting
each case separately and appearances
will be noted in approximately one in every four and one-sixth. In addition to the above there are forty assigned cases of which thirty-six cases are beyond the three hundred mark and four
within this number. Should the Jus
tices of the Supreme Court hear three
hundred cases during its next session, which will argue about one hundred and eighteen cases.
Among some of the cases to be ar
gued and possibly decided within the
next six months are the peonage cases,
involving the construction of a federal statute and certain convictions in Florida; the hours of service, act, a cas of extreme interest to all labor or
ganizations, as in the case of the Bucks the American Federation of Labor, and the contempt proceedings against President Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, who face jail sen
tences of from six months to a year
and six month; two cases under the corporation tax law, as applied to the holdings of real estate companies; the case against Augustus Heinze, the cop
per king, who is charged with a misapplication of funds of the Metropolitan National Bank of New York city;
the Tobacco Trust cases; the Standard Oil cases and that of the American Su
gar Refining Involving the principles of the Sherman Anti-Trust law, as cor
porations doing business in restraint
of trade; the Atlantic Coast line rail
road, cases, testing the constitutionality of the initial carrier clause; the Hipolite Egg Co, the first case brought
to the Supreme Court of the United
States involving a construction of the
pure food statute; four commodities
clause cases against the Lehigh alley railroad, the Erie railroad, the Central railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania railroad, and the case against the Press Publishing Co., in which tha Supreme Court will be asked to deter
mine whether or not President Roosevelt, William Nelson Cromwell, attorney for the French Panama Canal, Douglas Robinson, President Roosevelt's brother-in-law and Charles P. Taft. President Taft's brother, were li
beled by certain articles which appeared in the New York World, in connection with the purchase of the Panama Canal land.
ly rains and increased acreage will probably offset; but the outlook is for a big corn crop, also for a large product of hay. Indications likewise favor a full cotton crop. All of our best crop authorities now consider agricultural conditions lniich more encouraging than two weeks ago. Monetary conditions are exceptionally favorable both here and abroad. As many stocks are paying 6 per cent at present prices and bonds 5 per cent, it follows that money is better invested in these than in time or call
loans. The condition of the local banks is being steadily strengthened by increasing reserves, and a contraction in loans. The monetary situation abroad is also specially favorable, as funds are accumulating and interest rates declining. At the West there has been an improvement in the banking situation. Leading bankers there have been pursuing a policy of retrenchment, and while the situation in that district has not yet entirely cleared up, there is greater confidence than a month ago. July disbursements
were estimated at over $200,000;000, or more than $18,000,000 in excess of a year ago. This, too, was a factor of some importance In the investment market. Very shortly Congress will adjourn, relieving both business men and financiers of a good deal of anxiety. President Taft is closing the second Congressional session of his
term with much greater credit than at one time expected. Inadvertently the President some time ago referred to the new tariff as "the best ever," an opinion not shared by many of his friends. What he no doubt really meant was that the new tariff was the best that could be secured at that time. The temporary and limited loss of popularity produced by this misconception has already been more than recovered by the President's recent legislative successes. The passage of the tariff bill, the railroad bill and the postal savings bill, not to speak of minor measures, can all be tracked to Mr. Taft's ability, tact and
perseverance, and have added immensely to his politcal strength. One of the best elements of the situation is the changed tendency in our foreign trade. The country is gradually getting down to an export basis, permitting a more normal internation
al commerce than has been experienced for many months. With a liquidation and decline in commodities which should tend to still further lower the cost of living, the probabilities are that our imports will contract while exports expand; thus permitting a larger influx of gold next fall if that be necessary to offset any stringency should it come. Europe is taking a more kindly interest in our financial undertakings, and seems quite ready to participate moderately in the better class of American issues. Other stimulating influences which can be cited are the settlement of the railroad question through passage of President Taft's bill; the probability that the railroads will later on secure a reasonable" advancd in rates.
On the other hand there are uncertainties ahead which may prevent any pronounced advance. Holiday quiet will begin in the coming week; the present political agitation is more or less disturbing; besides there is an
undercurrent of public unrest. Big crops will impose large demands upon interior banks, which they in turn may be compelled to transfer to the East, in which case the New York banks will be obliged to take a larger share than usual in financing the next harvest. This contingency, however, has been so fully anticipated that when it arrives it may easily prove less important than expected. The fact that trade is dull everywhere, however, has been so fully anticipated that when it arrives it may easily prove less important than expected. The fact that
trade is dull everywhere will tend to maintain monetary ease. This inactivity in business, however, can hardly be considered a bull argument in stocks; and its effect upon railroad earnings remains to be seen, especially in view of the large increase in expenses which the railroads are now compelled to face. The iron trade is not at preseit in wholly satisfactory condition, and the tendency of
prices is downward. The cotton j goods industry is still going through j a period of stress, manufacturers be-! ing obliged to curtail heavily owing to their inability to secure the higher prices necessary to cover the increased cost of cotton. Another important industry not yet adjusted to present conditions is the copper trade which continues to suffer from overproduction. From many points of view it is satisfactory to note that the tendency of commodities is downwards to a more normal level; yet on the other hand it must be remembered that lower prices for agricultural products mean smaller profits for the farmers. The latter have had a number of very fat years and can well afford one or two lean ones, except where they have been tempted into extravagance and undue speculation.
The Treasury situation is one that is causing some concern on the part of Government officials, and before long a bond issue must be resorted to. This, of course means that in case of
. money stringency next fall but little 1 assistance can be expected from the
Government. Many of these facts are well understood in financial circles, and their effect has already been pretty well discounted. Upon the whole the influences pro and con in the market are fairly well balanced, and the differences of opinion between buyers and sellers are sufficiently pronounced to provide a basis for fair trading activity. After the decline of the last six months, no very serious break can be anticipated, besides which there still remains a short interest of sufficient importance to be an element of support in case of decided reaction. General conditions
are sound and there is no reason for apprehension for the country is at last taking a period of much needed rest. But after riding in automobiles for several years, coming back to a trotting horse seems a rather slow gait.

Notwithstanding the fact that heavy fines are imposed upon contractors who import aliens for the purpose of using them in various construction enterprises throughout the country, instances are being daily reported to the Department of Commerce and Labor where contract alien labor is being used. For the purpose of carrying Into effect the law on the subject, Secretary Xagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor has declared absolute war upon large and small contractors who have been employing such labor. Instructions have been sent to all agents of the Immigration Bureau stationed along the border of the United States as well as In seaport towns, to exert themselves and make it impossible for foreigners coming to this country under contract to gain admission.
