KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Decide 10 Erect a Statue of the Gre
 nfscnverar

DisCONeEeE t1eTe.
 At the meeting of the executive commit. tee of the Knights of Columbus, which was appointed to arrange for the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America on the 1lth of next October, held yester- day, it was practically decided to purchase statue of Columbus to be erected in this city before the anniversary. The statue which it is proposed to purchase is the work of the Flemish artist, NJ. Buryens of Ghent, Belgium, and designed by Rich ard Andrew, of the Massachusetts art school. It was at first suggested to place the statue 8. Isabella, ,Santo Domingo, where Columbus erected the first buildings in the new world. But it has subsequently, been recommended by prominent Connec- ticut members of the order that it would be better to place the memorial in New Haven, where the order was organized. The scheme has met with hearty approval and it is now believed the money can be raised among the 5000 members. The statue itself will cost about s12, 900. and the pedestal and foundation will make the outlay sl7, ,000.
 Several sites have been spoken of, but the most suitable location is believed to be at the junction of Meadow, George streets and Congress avenue. If the scheme is adopted, it is intended to have the statue erected by the day of the cele- bration.
 Previous to the meeting of the executive committee the committee of the scope and character of the celebration met yesterday morning in the office of General Secretary Colwell, Hoadley building. The New Hs ven members of the committee consisted of Daniel Colwell, J. F. Brennan and M. F. Sullivan.
 There was a general discussion on tn, statue proposition and the commirtee seemed in accord with the plan. It wal finally voted to recommend to the execu tive committee the purchase of the statu, | for erection in this city.

ON ALL WOOL SHIPMENTS.

The Western Freight Association
 Reduces Rates from the Mississip-
 pi River to Boston by Way of Chi-
 cagO-The Grand Trunk Joins in
 the Movement.
 CHICAGO, April 21.-Chairman Midge- ley of the Western Freight association has authorized the western roads to make a proportional rate of fifty cents per 100 pounds from the Mississippi river to Boston by way of Chicago on all wool shipments from the west. This is re- duction from 91t cents, heretofore regu- lar tariff rates. The western roads are en- abled to meet this cut through the cooper ation of the Grand Trunk, which has agreed to pro-rate with them on any basis made necessary by the action of the Cana. dian Pacific.
 The Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City C'Clover Leaf'D has withdrawn the tariff on westbound traffic between Boston and St.Louis whereby rates were reduced thret cents on first class freight and proportion ately on the other classes. General Freigh Agent Weed of the Clover Leaf states tha the tariff was issued by mistake.

NEGOTIATING FOR CaHILL.

The Local Management Endcavorfns
 10 Secure a Former Favorfte Local PIayer-ssSnudy.s Grimn Will Play
 in This City.
 Tommy" Cahill, the clever ex-cAtchel of the New Haven team, who has played for the past two seasons with the Louis vile club, has been released by that club. The local management have opened nego- tiations with this clever young catcher and short stop and it is by no means i'm. probable that he will cover short stop fol the local team during the coming season. If Tommy" can be secured for the local team, 1t goes without saying that the pen nant will surely land in this city at the close of the championship season.
 There has been for several days past some question as to whether Sandy Griffin would be allowed to play in this city during the present season or not. Sandy" yesterday went to New York and in an interview told President White em- phatically that he had been signed by New Haven legitimaiely and would either play with this city during the coming season socistion and would sign with the Western asSpCiatiou. luc hiSumcuNs Wnlcn San- dy" used were at once powerful and con- vincing, and as a result ''Ssndy" will play in this city during the season with the full permission of President White of the Eastern league. Grifin's claim was that he had been signed by President White without his (Grifin's) consent, and in the allotment of players was apportioned to Binghamton. The latter club ascertained that Griffin was playing with the team in this city and filed protest with President White, demanding that the player be sent to that city. Griffin yesterday, as stated above saw President White in relation to the matter, with the result that he will play in this city during the coming season. Next week the local team will play the Brown university team in this city. On Wednesday they will play in Bridgeport with picked team. Thursday the Flush ings, the strong team which defeated Prov idence Wednesday by a score of to 1, will play here, and Saturday the champi- onship season will open.
 The local team will play in Providence, weather permitting to, day and to-morrow, and two victories for the local tenn are predicted.

 Two Men Who Say That They Knev the Man Who is Supposed 10 Have Been Drowned at Long Wharf Last Saturday.
 Last evening about 10 o'clock two men approached Officer Grant near the Long wharf and stated that they wished to ex. anime the hat of the man who was sup- posed to have been drowned in the harbor last Saturday night. Officer Grant re- ferred them to Medical Examiner White, si whose office the hat was. The men went up there about 10:30 o'clock and talked the matter over with Dr. White. They said that the hat was like the one that their friend wore. But they were exceedingly close mouthed as to their own identity, re- fusing to give either th.ir name or address or anything of the circumstances connect ed with the affair. This appeared rather mysterious to Dr. White, who telephoned for the police and Coroner Mix. Before the men left MT. Whites office, however, they divulged their names to him. They were then, at about l2:30, taken to police headquarters, where they were examined by Coroner Mix. They were very retioent with him also, but st last told their names, but refused to give the name of the missing man. It was thought at first that they might be held as important witnesses in the matter, but were eventually released The accident in question happened last Saturday night at Long wharf. 4 OCT tain man named Moore, a mate on the bark 'Msry Gibbs" says that he heard what was apparently A man fall in the water, but before he could arrive on the scene everything was quiet, and this hat, which is now in Medical Examiner Whites possession, was found on Long wharf the next morning.
 The two men are evidently dock labor ers and appeared to be honest enough fellows, who did not want to commit them selves or make any mistakes. Further in- vestigations will be made.
