several who wfll Vote In New Haven
 This Year.
 The board of registration was in session last night for the purpose of considering sep- arately the case of each student or Yale col- Iege who thought he had taken up New Ha- ven as his home, and therefore wants to vote here.
 Alexander Milne, who was heard by the board at previous session, was the first one called. His home has been in Westerly, R. T., and as he intends to make this city his home; and as he is an alien, and no alien can vote in Rhode Island, he was admitted to
 the rights of an elective franchise.
 Eugene 0. Webster, who attends Yale sem-
 mary and who also had . hearing, was ad-
 mitted.
 George W. Rainer, who came from Boston.
 said that he intended to make New Haven his home. He admitted, however, that while
 here he had received support from his parents The motion to admit him as an elector was lost by a vote of to 3. It was not party vote.
 Fred O, Baker, who halls from Bay City, Mich, stated that he had voted in Bay City. but had no intention whatever of returning there. He was admitted by a unanimous vote.
 D. E. Burtner is young man twenty-five years old with beautiful sandy moustache. He stated that he had lived in Pennsylvania, had voted there, but he intended to make New Haven his home. He is giving music lessons while taking a collegiate education. In answer to question from Selectman Rey- holds he said that he was at his former home in Pennsylvania this summer and also in Meriden.
 ssWhere did you register from when you were in Merideni" asked Selectman Brown.
 ''I didn't put up at any hotel. was stops ping with friends,n was the reply. This was enough and Mr. Bartner was ad- mitted as an e1ector. Jesse L. Bright frankly stated that he was 29 years old. He has voted in Ohio, but is going to stay in New Haven. He said that
 he had supported himself since he was IA years of age. Selectman Cooper said that anyone who had supported himself so long ss that ought to be allowed to vote several times year.
 Julian B. Wright, 22 years of age, and is the prospective heir of property in Massa- chusetts.
 J.H. Hedges, formerly of Portland, ore- gon, has nice white set of teeth and large dropping moustache. He had already ap- peared before the board. "You are the one who spent last summer ! in the Catskills, are you not?" asked Select man Brown.
 "Yes.n
 ''Well, will not vote for you," said the selectman.
 MT. Hedge gave as an explanation that he was with chum whose home was in Port land, and he believed he did give his home as Portland.
 Selectman White thought the fact that he ' then registered as from Portland should bear no significance. He said that but for that one thing Mr. Hedges would probably have been admitted unanimously. He thought that as MT. Hedges intended to make his home in New Haven he should be admitted He was alone in his opinion all the other voting not to admit MT. Hedges as an elector. When the vote was announced the apph cant's face flushed and he seemed to feel his \ disappointment deeply. As he turned tc leave he said sorrowfully: "Im man without country" The last case considered was that of Mi. | chael Toole, who has been absent from this ! city twelve years, travelling about the coun- \ try 8 civil engineer. He was born here \ and his parents still reside here. MT. Toole ! was not present last night, but was repre- sented by Attorney Isaac Wolf, who read the | law to show that every man has 8 domicile. I even a tramp; and that no matter how long one is away from his native place, if it can' not be shown that he has changed his resi- denee and voted elsewhere, his domicile ii still where his parents reside, and he has 6 right to vote there, even though he has not been in the State continuously for one year. All the members of the board voted to sd- init Mir. Toole to the rights of an elector ex- cepting Seleetman White, who gave no reason for his negative vote.
 The board then adjourned until this morn
