man did not respond fb fhe offer#

by a* member of the Leader staff to
arrange a match between,the Hous-
ton man and a local boy who is nw
with the' Orange Rifles at their en-

he expressed his intentions: ' of com-

this time the conference will be

Peoria, 111, Aug. 9.- The fortieth
annual championship regatta of l,he
National Association of Amateur
Caramen, which will held on the
Illinois River today/and ^tomorrow,
have attracted the best oarsmen from
the United States and.Canada,
events in the National Regatta are
twelve in number and all a mile and
a quarter straight away with the ex-
ception of the senior quarter-mile
dash. The free-for-all eight oared
shell race « the feature of today's
programme. This , is the first time
that the regatta has ever been held
in the West. New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and St. Louis are the
best represented cities, but crewsare
present from all the Eastern and mid
Western rowing centres. There Is al-
so a strong delegation from ail the
South and Southwest. «
The course is verysuitable for the
regatta. Tt is oni"wide part of the
Illinois River with a current of less
than one mile an hour, and there is
little or no traffic at the poiiit. The
big rowing ohifcs of Cariada are al-
so represented in .the eyent. The
fact that the Canadians captured six
national championships at the Na-
tional regatta held at Saratoga
Springs last season, was responsi-

Hard Work for Longworth.
Washinglon, Aug. 9.—Washington
arc predicting today that Congress-
man LongWorth will be one of the
herdest wplked men in' the cam-
paign this yfcar, because his situation
is unusualllylpeculiar. Colonel Roose-
velt, who is the father-in-law of Rep-
tesentative longwprth intends to
fight his suii-in-law, caring nothing
about the embarrassment of a mem-
ber of the family by ^offering him
opposition in ' his own district. Mr.
Longworth will remain- upon the
ticket for re-election to his district
and make a fight against all comers.
It is understood that he was sent as
minister plenipotentiary to the Col-
onel asking him to keep out of the
Congressional fight in Ohio, but Col.
Roosevelt was'unmoved by the plea,
declaring that to maintain a consis-
tent national ticket, it would also be'
necessary to put local organizations
in thf field. It I understood here that
Longworth will take the stump for
Taft, speaking not-only in his own
district in. Ohio, but perhaps in oth-
er States.
