STATEMENTFROM HARVARD
PRESIDENT AMES' VERSION OF THE
 CHEAT FOOTRILL FIGHT.

He Says That the Artc,e in the Yale News
 is Full of Inaccuracies and Is Calculated
 to Give Wrong Impression of the Po-
 sitlon of Harvard.
 Boston, Oct. 15-The following state ment relative to the Harvard-Yale con
 troversy was given out tonight by Pro-
 lessor Ames of the athletic committee; The statement in the Yale News con- tains several inaccuracies and is calcu- lated to give an erroneous impression of Harvard's position. That position was fully explained to MT. Adee at casual meeting in Cambridge June IS; ! to MT. Cowles, who came from Castine, 1 Me, August % for the purpose of learn | ing Havard's attitude, and to Mir. Stu art, who came to Cambridge October l to lay a proposition before the Harvard | athletic committee. Harvard has at all l times, throughout the present contro- yersy, up to and including October ., | been ready to let by-gones be by-gones ! and accept an invitation from Yale to l meet her in football or in all the sports, l either for one year or for term of | years. Harvard, as the defeated party, opened negotiations for football game
 in April. Yale officially terminated these negotiations by Captain Thorne's l letter of May Il. In common courtesy | it was Yales part to reopen negotil- l Jions, if they were to be renewed at all | It was Harvard's part to maintain a | dignified silencee until an invitation | should come from Yale. The plan by | which certain Harvard graduates, who neither had nor claimed to have author | ity to make agreements, were to unite 1 with certain Yale graduates in inviting l Captains Thorne and Brewer to a con- | ference, and by which Yale should send
 an invitation, was therefore, disapprov-
 ed when submitted to the Harvard ath- letic committee-the body entrusted by
 the university authorities with the en- tire supervision and control of Harvard
 athletics. The committee has insisted also that inasmuoh as there has been
 a public difference between the two uni | versailles, the settlement of that differ
 ence should be public also
 Yale has been unwilling to send an in- vitation in the customary form for a game of football MT. Stuart did, how | ever, on October l, submit proposition to the Harvard commrtee for it's ap- proval in the form of two letters which, as he said, had been prepared after a consultation by CaptaIn Thorne and Yale's advisers MT Stuart assured us that Captain Thorne would send one
 of these letters if Captain Brewer
 would send the other in reply. This
 proposed correspondence seemed to the
 committee to be in substance repiti-
 ton of the request in Captain Thorne's s
 letter of May Il and a compliance with that request on the part of Captain | Brewer by contradicting for himself
 for Harvard supporters and for pr,
 Brooks, of the published statements of
 the latter The proposition was neces-
 sarily declined the same day.

Secretary Carlisle,s Decision.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Secretary Car lisle to-day rendered an adverse decis- lon touching the application for an American registry for the British steam CT Southery. This vessel was wrecked outside the limits of the United States some months ago and was brought in 0 an American port and repaired Appli- cation was then made to the treasury department to permit the Southery to be registered as an American vessel be- cause of the extent of the repairs made. Section 4136 of the revised statutes gives discretion to the secretary of the treasury to issue an American registry in the case of "any vessel built in a Foreign country when such vessel shall be wrecked in the United States, and shall be purchased and repaired by a citizen of the United States, if it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the secretary that the repairs are equal tc three-fourths of the original cost" This vessel having been wrecked outsire the United States, Secretary Carlisle declin- ed to extend the regulations so as tC permit of an American registry. Ex- Governor Russell of Massachusetts ap- peared for the applicants and ex-Sena- tor Hunton and J. Chapman Neale against the Southery.

Four of the Best racers Are to Race To-
 morrow,
 Lexington, Oct. 15.-This was the sev- enth day of the meeting of the Ken lucky Trotting Horse Breeders asso- citation. Only two events reached con- clusion this afternoon and in neither case did the first choices win. The Wisconsin stallion, B. B. P, ruled as choice in the $5,00O stallion represen- tative stake, and on form should have won, but Baron Dillon was the best horse. Gerrity did not handle B. B. P. just to suit the crowd and shift in the betting caused the judges to sus- pect that something was wrong.
 In the fifth heat Billy Andrews took the ribbons by request and could not have lost had B. B. P. remained on rto, as he was making gradual but certain gain near the seven furlong post, but the horse shifted to pace and then a break and Dillon won a brilliant victory. Two of the prime choices in the 2:16 trot, Lyric and Roetta Soap, won a heat each, while Sunland Clay, well regarded selec- tion, was never in the hunt.
 To-morrow's prime event will be the free-for-all pace, in which Robert J.. 2:O11s John R. Gentry, 2;O3%, Joe 1 Patchen, 2:O4, and Frank Agan, 2:06h | will meet and it will be the betting race of the meeting.

MISS FLAGTER INDICTED.
Grand Jury Finds Bill Against Her for Manslaughter in Shooting Ernest Green.

Washington, Oct 15.-Th grand jury for the District of Columbia has re- turned an indictment for manslaughter against Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daugh- ter of Brigadier General Flagler, U. $. A., chief of the bureau of ordnance.
 Miss Flagler shot and killed young Ernest Green, the son of Richard Green, Secretary Carlisle's colored mes senger, early in August. It was as serted by Miss Flagler that Green had been in the habit of stealing fruit from the grounds surrounding the Flagler home, and, to frighten him and the boys accompanying him, she fired. The ball hit Green and caused his death. A coroner's jury acquitted Miss Flag Ter, but the case was presented to the grand jury.
 Miss Flagler's trial will probably take place in a few weeks. Both General Flagler and his daughter feel sure that they will be able to prove that the young woman simply pulled the trigger in order to frighten the boys away.

POLICE BOARD ESTIMATES
INCREASED COST OF THE DEPART
 MENT FOR THE COMING YEAR.

Twelve New Patrolmen to be Asked For
 Several rernumeraries Dropped for
 Various Cau,es-Patrol Drivers Fay to be Raised-Charges Preferred Against
 Patrolman Cooney--A New Ambulance
 Needed.
 At the regular meeting of the board of police commissioners last night the committee on finance, MT. Moran, chair man, presented it's estimates for the coming year and it was accepted. It's estimate for the year is S1S6,OOO Last year the estimate was $162, ,4S5, but an extra $3,5OO was needed to carry it through.
 The increased estimate arises from several causes. One item was $1 800 for sundries as against s1,OOO last year. This increase is due to the fact that hereafter the department will have | to furnish its own stationery instead of receiving it from the city auditor. An expensive item will also be the furnish | ing of proper record books to pawn
 brokers, as ordered by the lately en- acted state law.
 | Twelve new men to be added to the
 present regular force will also be asked
 for, as they are badly needed to cover | beats now almost entirely unguarded
 and valuable property is in jeopardy, A thousand dollars will be asked for | another ambulance for use in enlergen- l cies, and $50 is listed for a cover for the
 patrol wagon to screen from public gaze
 persons while being transported to the | sta ton.
 l It was also suggested that the patro | drivers who receive SS0 per month | should be graded in B and receive $2.7i
 per day, as they work twelve hours pel day the patrolmens ten. This is to apply to the present drivers, as they have
 been in the service several years anc will not prevail in the case of future
 appointed drivers.
 The committee on efficiency, Comms | sioner Hubinger chairman, recommend l ed all forty-six supernumeraries, eXcep | Philip Lawton, John Mcintyre, E. J l White and c. A. Wehr. Superintendent | Smiths report on Lawton was unfavor | able. The superintendent stated tha | Mcintyre had not the requisite fore l though for a police officer, and he hat | pelted a man with stones some timt
 ago, seriously injuring him. Action up on these two men was postponed unti l the next regular meeting, for more
 extended investigation Supernumerary White broke his leg $ short time ago and it was recommend ed that he go before the surgeons fo | examination, as also SupernumerarN l Wehr, who is hard os nearing. Tn senior supernumerary, Edward J. Hol ton, whose inception into the rank
 dates from 1889, sent in his resignation
 which was accepted.
 Joseph Higgins of 14 Downes stree complained that Patrolman Michael Cooney had brutally assaulted him
 From an investigation of the facts i lappears that Patrolman Cooney push
 ed Higgins back when ne was in ;
 crowd around a man who had fainted ! Higgins was instructed to present formal complaint, if he desired to SC cure satisfaction, and have his wit nesses on hand at the next regula meeting of the board.
