MAKE DErERmiNED FIGHT
SO Said the Members of the Yale Corpors
ti0n mt Yesterday's Meeting.

SO Said the Members of the Yale Corpora
tion Mt Yesterdays Meeting.
At the Yale corporation meeting yes
terday the chief topic of discussion was
the proposed increased taxation Of
Yale property by the town of New Ha-
ven. The unanimous opinion Of the
members of the corporation present
was that such increased taxation would
be unjust, especially from the fact that
no precedent for such action exists in
any other city with regard to any other
American college or university.
After a careful discussion of the mat
ter it was decided to draw up a formal
protest against the action of the town.
This protest will be presented at fu-
ture meeting of the corporation to be
held in a few weeks.
The general opinion of the gentlemen
seemed to be in favor of Yale making
a determined fight against the increas-
ed taxation. President Dwight presid-
ed at the meeting.

FOE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
The Water Company's Petition to Increas
Its Capital Stock The Otfects In View

Its Capital Stock The Objects in View.
The New Haven Water company has
always been mindful Of the fact that
as the city grows it needs larger fa-
cilities for supplying pure drinking
water, and during the past year spec
ial attention has been paid to this
feature of the work. During the past
year the old water mains in many in
stances have been replaced with new
ones, and the system has been extend
ed to parts of the city that have for
merly been without water from the
company's supplies. A committee was
appointed several months ago to make
a special study of the future needs and
requirements of the company for sup
plying pure water so as to meet the
demands of the city. The process of
liberation has been greatly perfected
during the past ten years. The differ
ent styles of filtering plants have been
carefully studied by the members of
the committe, and the subject has re-
ceived good deal of attention, with
reference to future action by the COM
pany Improvements are constantly
being made in the methods of filtra-
ton, and should the company decide in
the future to adopt a filtration sys-
tenn, it is intended to secure the best
there is. In order to be prepared for
making improvements and enlarging
and perfecting its plant the company
has decided to make this application to
the general assembly for power to in
crease its capital stock. The power to
add $3,0O0,000 to the capital stock is to
be asked for The bill will be present.
ed early in the session.
AS to the plans of the company for
carrying out these Improvements. a
prominent official of the company said
last evening, mo decision has been
arrived at as to what will be done, but
that the directors of the company will
by receiving power to make the new
issue of stock be in a position to go
ahead and make the improvements
whenever 1t shall be deemed necessary.
No filtration plant has been decided
upon at Lake Whitney or at any Of the
other supplies. You may say, however,
that we will do all in our power to have
the water supply of New Haven as
healthful as any city in the United
States"

A sUpERABUNDANCg OF MONEY.
This Fact Shown by the Statement of the
New York Associated Banks.

New York Associated Banks.
New York, Jan. 15.-The weekly state
ment of the Associated Banks to be is
sued tomorrow will show large in
crease in cash on hand as the conse-
quence of an unusual state of affairs
in the money market. About a month
ago the presidents and other leading
officers of some forty banks belonging
to the clearing house attended din
ner at the Union League club given by
Henry w. Cannon, president Of the
Chase National bank.
At this gathering an understanding
was reached that no call loans, or, in
other words, loans repayable on de-
mand, should be made at rate less
than two per cent. per annum. For
three or four weeks previously most of
the call loans had been made at III per
cent. AT this rate the banks did not
consider they were receiving an made
quate return on their money. During
the present week the borrowers found
that they could obtain money from
the trust companies, insurance compa-
nies and other large lenders at liz per
cent.
Accordingly they shifted their loans
to a large extent; that is, they paid off
the loans to the banks and got. accom-
modated from the lenders whose rates
were one-half per cent lower. The
banks secured only a small part of the
new loans. The rapid accumulation OF
money in their vaults, which was earn
ing nothing at all, finally brought them
to a realization that their agreement
to keep the call money rate up to per
cent. could no longer be adhered to
with advantage, and to-day most OF
them were accepting offers Of III per
cent. Although the tendency Of money
is downward all over the world, it is
cheaper in New York than anywhere
else

POLICE BONDS ARE MISSING
DEAD MEN THE SURETIES or PA-
TROLMEN.

Mayor Farnsworth Orders Superintendent
Smith to Call for Bonds-High omciars
Credentials Among the Missing-Only
Nine of the Sixty Men Are Properly
Qualified.
| The bonds of one hundred members
of the police department are missing,
and the superintendent has received
instructions from Mayor Farnsworth
to have the men execute new bonds,
and when approved by the mayor they
will be deposited with the city treas
urer, as required by the city charter.
The notice sent out by the mayor is the
result of an inquiry instituted by him
shortly after he entered upon the du-
ties of his office He called upon Cor
poration Counsel Ely to inquire if the
charter had been lived up to so far as
the bonding of policemen was con-
cerned.
Continuing his investigation, the
mayor found that in many instances
the bonds had been given many years
since, and that the bondsmen were
dead. He then ordered new bond for
each man whose name did not appear
among those whose bonds were found
in the mayors office when the present
term began.
When Superintendent Smith received
his instructions from the mayor a few
days ago he asked Treasurer Mersick
if he had any police bonds, and found
that the present treasurer had no bonds
in his possession.
| One man, who had been on the force
several years, said last evening that he
did not know where his bond was, but
he knew that he had buried his bonds
man ten years ago.
OF the sixty men at the central pre-
cinct but nine are qualified to do duty
this morning if the letter of the law
was lived up to. The men are bonding
as quickly as possible, and it will only
be day or two before the difficulty Is
settled. Among the number whose
bonds cannot be found are Captain
Wrinn, Sergeants Crocker and Cook
and Signal Officer Began

After reading the bill Judge Gross
cup said he could not consider it in it's
crude form, because, a court cannot
take cognizance of town meeting allie
cations" adding: This corporation
seems to have been floating on wind
capital of $S0,000,000. 1t is not as solid
as water"
I'VE prefer to appear as stockhold-
ers." replied Judge Erb, as counsel.
This thing is a gigantic fraud" com
tinued Judge Erb. They elected a
company of men for directors who
were fit timber for presidential cabi-
nets-men of national reputation
Charles Foster, ex-secretary of the
treasury; Senator Ell1ins, Patrick
Egan, ex-minister to Chill; r. c.. Ker-
ms of St Louis, and Mayor William
Warner of Kansas City These men
announced a grand scheme of conquest.
The whole was to be seized in a field
of operations. The affair was conceiv-
ed in sin and fraud"

cup, you elect to come into court to
disclose this tremendous swindle as
