CREWS READY
DERBY. May 5.—The college colors
of Columbia. Yale and Pennsylvania
made their appearance here today as
supporters of the three universities
and other followers of rowing began
to arrive for the triangular regatta on
the Housatonic river this afternoon.
With sunny skies and light wind. it
was expected more than 25.000 would
be on hand to see the races when the
first contest started. This was sched-
uled for 3:45 daylight. saving time
with the Yale and Massachusetts Tech
freshmen contending for honors over
the Henley distance. A half hour later
the junior varsity sights of Columbia.
Yale and Pennsylvania were to com-
pete over the two mile course. and the
final event will be the varsity race be-
tween the three crews. also two miles.
Although Jim Rice's Columbia var-
sity is the favorite for the big race. a
great host of Yale supporters took
forward to seeing the first test of a
Yale crew coached by Ed Leader
whose University of Washington eight
took second place at Poughkeepeie
last year. Only three veterans of last
year's varsity crew are in the Yale first
shell.
An observation train of 32 cars will
follow the races on the Shelton side of
the river.
F awncy.’
NE WHAVEN. May 5.—Investiga-
tlon yesterday failed to reveal the
exact origin of the tradition of wear-
ing high silk hats and cutaway coat
at the crew races and the professors
consulted thought that the Junior
classes at Yale is really developing an
original plan. “Still." said one. "in
1850. the top hat and cutaway coat
wast the usual thing for every gentle-
man. It was a development of the
custom, plnninf up the_iiaps of the
baffle which were worn at the
time. and which were always in the
way.
“These boys don't know the danger-
ous thing they are doing in helping
to bring back the custom of wearing
top-hats for dress. “'hy those things
are a terrific nuisance to take care
of. One will have to carry a. leather
hat box every time he goes to New
York. if the top hat fashion comes
back."

by a force for which she cannot ac-
count.
Her mother. Mrs. Charles R. Colt.
wife of a Litchfield banker. .wo'rn by
four days of ceaseless worry. had Just
left police headquarters to go to her
hotel for photographs of her daugh-
ter which the officers proposed hav-
ing exhibited on every movie screen
in the country while radio stations
broadcast descriptions of her.
When Mrs. Colt reached her hotel
she found a telegram from her daugh-
ter sent f‘rom Utica. N. Y.. saying she
was on her way to the city.
Miss Colt was on her way from
Montclalr last Monday to meet her
mother at the Grand Central Station
when. according to her story she was
seized with an intense desire to travel.
She sent a. porter for a ticket and left
immediately for Chicago 'where she
remained until she saw her photo-
graph reproduced ln ' a New York
newspaper and learned what efforts
were being made to find her. She
borrowed money from ‘ friends and
came home, but shortly ' before she
reached Utica a’man who noticed her
_perturbed condition. approached her
and before long life had confided to
him her identity.” He sent the tele-
gram for her. kept her spirits up untfl
they reached New York and then. his

KENT. May 6.—Despite the visit of
Selectman F. J. Johnson to the home
of Miss Jennie Barker yesterday af-
ternoon in an eflort to obtain from her
some story that would ‘tend to show
whether nineteen-year-old Fred Car-
ter. her foetorbrother. might have
committed'suicide or that he had been
murdered. nothing was learned that
throw any light on the mystery of the
youth's death. His shot riddled body
was found in the Housatonic river last
Monday. after he had been missing
from home some three weeks.
'Miss Barker has maintained a rigid
silence upon the matter of the boy's
disappearance ' and the subsequent
finding of his body. despite stories
which tendto show that her “nagging
habits" and the fact that he had in-
timated that she wanted him to marry
her. which he protested against. might.
have caused him to commit suicide.
