JUDGES AND CORPORATIONS

Springfield. Mass. Oct. 31.-The Demo-
Gratis OF Chicopee and Chicopee Falls
held rallies last night. The faithful
did not turn out very generally, and only
fair audiences gathered to hear the
speakers. Charles McDermitt presided
over the rally in Chicopee. The speak
ers were George Fred Williams and
Christopher Callahan. AT the falls.
Henry +. Moriarity presided. Here
the first speaker was c. A. Atkinson
of New Jersey, and Messrs. Callahan
and Williams followed.
Speaking OF the influence and morals
of the men controlling big corporations,
Mr.. Williams said: There has not
been a governor in this commonwealth
in quarter OF a century-there may be
one eXception-who would dare TO APP
point a judge who was objected TO by
the railroad corporations Of Massachu-
setts. i think perhaps General Butler
might have done it. Therefore your
judiciary, while il is composed of honest
and honorable men, Is selected because
of the tendency of mind in those men
satisfactory - those influences"

PRosEcuuoNs FOR PERJURY.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-1t is quite probable
that some prosecutions for perjury Will
result from the Luetgert case. While
the states attorney refused 10 affirm or
deny this. il is given on first class au-
thority that the testimony of two OF
the principal witnesses for the defense
will be laid before the grand jury for an
investigation. Ii may be that more
than two people will be included in the
list. but 1t is practically settled that In
dictments will be asked for against two
before the Luetgert case can be reached
for trial again. The two witnesses are
William Charles. Luetgert's business
partner. and Mary Siemmering. the do
nestle in the Luetgert household.

WRECK OF THE LAMPER.
Pounded Her Life Out on tho Shoal
at Nau set Light

Orleans. Mass. Oct. 22.--After being
dismasted by the northeast hurricane
Wednesday night the three -masted
schooner Nellie Lamper. Captain Nc
Lean. St John for New York. was blown
into the breakers off Nauset light about
noon yesterday. and an hour afterwards
was a total wreck, while the seven men
were taken off just before the vessel
went to pieces.
The schooner was first sighted by the
observer at Highland light about 3
o.alock. and at that time both her main
and mizzenmasts had gone by the board,
and she was being driven before the
gale with only her foremast standing.
and that swa!'ing In the wind. About
10 o'clock the men a. the lifesaving sta
ton caught sight OF her. flying along with
the foremast still standing and the crew
making every effort 10 keep a little sail
on the mast, with a faint hope of keeping
her head off shore. The wind at the
time was bowling from the northeast
and blew diagonally on shore. so that
there was a slight prospec. that she
might get by Pollock Rip without strik-
ing the shoals. Just off the Nauset
lights the weakened foremast gave one
lurch and then fell over the bows. Inn
mediately after the schooner, now left
without a sail TO catch the wind. drove
rapidly toward the breakers. and in a
few minutes was pounding her life out
on the treacherous sands a short dis
tance off shore.
Captain Bearse of the station had in
the meantime assembled his crew on the
beach. Within 10 minutes after the ves-
sci struck the first life line had been shot
over her. and the crew were hauling in
the hawser There was just enough OF
the stump OF the foremast left standing
TO which to fasten the hawser and the
breeches buoy was then pulled aboard
IL was the work of very few minutes
after that for the lifesaving men to pull
the crew ashore, one at "A time, and with
In an hour after she struck every one OF
the seven men was on dry land Every
man expressed himself as particularly
grateful for the rescue, especially. when
short time afterwards, they saw their
ship pounded to pieces on the shoals and
her remains, together with her cargo Of
piles, scattered along the shore.
captain Mclean stated that he had q
good passage from Bangor until We'd
nesday night when, about SO miles from
Highland light the wind began TO blow
hard from the northeast. The schooner
staggered on before the gale until shortly
before daylight. when a heavy squall
struck her. and the main and mizZen
nlasts went over, weakening the fore
mast and carrying away some OF the
standing rigging Of that mast. The crew
endeavored TO keep a little sail on and
passed Highland light with some pros
pect of being able to keep her OF shore.
The fab OF the foremast however, settled
her fate. and Captain Mclean said that
IL was toss-up whether any of them
would reach shore. All seven of the
men were cared for last night at HE life
saving station. They lost all their ef-
fects.
The Lamper was good sized vessel,
13O feet over all and 314 tons burden.
She was built at Mystic. Conn. in 1879.
and was down in the maritime register
as hailing from Chicago.

Sons OF ELI Had Many Coaches at Yes
terday's Practice.


Sons of ELI Had Many Coaches at Yes
terday's Practice.
New Haven, Oct. 2-As n result OF
Wednesdays $ game with Brown. Yaie's
football practice yesterday was something
unique in the way of coaching. There
was veteran player on the field for
every position. -four positions on the
"scrub" were filed by veterans who had
donned their uniforms to strengthen up
tho scrub" and give ths varsity hard
practice. Such coaching is rarely seen.
Heffelhnger. who watched Wednesdays
game from tho sidelines. took turns yes
terday afternoon In playing first opposite
Cadwallader and then opposite Brown.
Heffelfnger handled the two big fresh
men without mercy. He played through
the entire practice, and for "a man who
graduated five years ago. he exhibited re
markabe condition. Back of the college
line ex-Captain Brink Thorne, who is
as good type of the plugging back as
Yale has developed, and Laurie Bliss,
who represents the greatest lightweight
paok, maze pair of unique half backs.
At fulibaok Louis Hinkey tf last years
team drove punts down the field that gave
the varsity backs practice in catching
such as they have not had this season.
While these veterans were playing their
old positions and coaching at the same
time, Frank Butterworth and ex-Captain
Murphy of last years team were on the
field coaching tho backs and tackles re-
spectively.
With heffol1nger coaching the centre
men. Murphy the tackles, Hinkcy the
ends and Butterworth. Bliss and Ihorne
the backs, there was coach for evory
position. Ths practice was exciting.
Thorne recalled his playing two years ago
by a brilliant dash from feiDt kick by
which he scored n touchdown for the
scrub. Corwin for the varsity made a
pretty run that almost offset Thornes.
The makeup of the varsity was almost
the same as in Wednesdays game. Cham
berlain and Hazen were the ends in the
first half. and in the second Dudley re
placed Hazen. Post ana McGee were botn
tried at tackle in Capt. Rodgers place.
Cutten began the practice at centre and
was followed by Mcfarland. Sullivan
played quarter. In the first half Marvin
and Corwin were the half backs and Hine
full. In the second half Townsend, n
freshman, vas given n trial at half for the
first time. Marvin and Mcbride were
each tried at full.
The practice showed some improve
Dent in t"am play. The interference
was also better. BY today one or two
moro coaches are expected. An heroic
effort will be made to get the team into
condition to do better against the Indians
than against Brown. Yale has never had
80 many coaches here at this time OF the
season, and rarely as many during the last
few days of training before champion
snip game.

THE DEFENDER STORY DENIED.

Prescott Lawrence was seen last
night at Newport in regard to the widely
published report that Mr.. Lawrence and
Others had arranged to race the sloop Dc,
fender abroad next season. Mr.. Lawrence
said the story was hoax, as. far as he
was concerned. He returned from Europe
several months ago, instead of few days
ago, and he had no knowledge that the
Defender was to race either in foreign or
in domestic waters
Ever siucs the story came out Mr..
Lawrence has been good -natursdly guyed
by his friends, who have long known
that ho takes no unusual interest in
yacht racing.
