 Of the eleven members of the commit tee only seven were present. There fwere Messrs. Davis. Cullom, Foraker, Clarke, Morgan.

REV. MIR. YAnDnEY IN NEWPORT.
Left This City Yesterday and Will Take q
 Few Weeks Rest.

Rev. Thomas H. Yardley, curate at Christ church, who has been slightly deranged mentally for few days from overwork and too close confinement to study, yesterday afternoon went to the home of his mother in Newport to take a rest Arrangements had been made by MT. Yardley's physicians and friends to have him leave New Haven with an attendant for Newport on the 2:47 train yesterday afternoon, but Mir Yardley objected to having an attendant go with him, and shortly after lunch yes terday he disappeared. His friends thought that he was somewhere about the city and had begun to search for him. when a telegram was received from him en route to Newport stating that he was on his way to that city and requesting that his clothes be sent there
 Dr. Carmalt, one of the physicians who have been attending Mr. Yardley, said last evening that the young cler- gyman had been breaking down for the past two or three months, and that his friends had frequently urged upon him the advisability of taking a rest.  MT. Yardley, however, strongly object ed to interferences of this sort, and pr. Carmalt said last evening that he thought that 1t was a desire to escape the Opportunities of his friends that led MT. Yardley, In his unbalanced state of mind, to leave his rooms at 57 Elm street by a. rear door in the midst of pouring rain Tuesday afternoon and wander about. The physician said that MT. Yardley, after the urgent ad- vice of many friends, finally consented to go away for rest. but that he ob- jeGted to surveillance, and it was his objection to this that led to his peculiar actions.
 Mir. Yardley has been curate at Christ church about one year, and has been an indefatigable worker in church work and a hard student. He has taken nc vacation during the year, and his phy- sician states that he has also been ir- regular at his meals.
 Dr. Carmait thinks that after a few weeks rest Mir. Yardley will recover from his illness entirely.

AMONG THE TRAP SHOOTERS
TOURNAMENT OF INTERSTATE AS-
 ISOLATION.

Many Marksmen Here-SOme Crack Shots Record of Yesterdays Shoot-van Dyke
 Has the Largest Total--IndividuaI Scores A Highly Successful Meeting Con- ducted at scheutzen Park.
 The interstate association's trap shooting tournament, its sixth this sea- son, was begun at the New Haven Gun clubs range at Schuetzen park yester- day and will be completed to-day.
 All day yesterday there was an al- most unbroken fusilade at the Blue Rocks projected at known or unknown angles over the marsh fronting the range of the gun club. and all day long the scorer called out in monotonous tones after each shot. Dead" or "Naught," according as the marksman hit or missed the skimming piece of clay. Dead" or "naught" reiterated the gentleman whose duty it was to tally the score on large blackboard as he placed a glorious or an ignoble 0 opposite the name of the individual marksman.
 As the sun neared the zenith the tall lynan's voice grew husky, but still the fusilade continued until nearly seven o'clock, when the days shooting closed and the scorekeeper, who had stuffed his ears with handkerchief to deaden the sound, removed the same and en- joyed the privilege of hearing his think ing machine work once more.
 Altogether 6,475 traps had been used during the day. The individual scores of the narksmen in each of the ten events of the day are given in the table below.
 About forty participated in the shoot yesterday, including some of the crack trapshooters in the country. The lar. gest number of traps broken in all the days shooting was by Van Dyke, who broke a total of 165 traps out of a pos. sible 175. Dickey came second. with 16: and Leroy third with 161 out of a DOS sible 175.
 Among the best out-of- town trap. shooters who participated in the shoot were s. A. Tucker of Meriden, c. R Dickey of Boston, J. s. Tanning of sar Francisco, E. D. Fulford of Utica, Cap tain Money of New York and MT. Var Dyke of New York.

1HRRB IN 4 WATERY CRAZE.
Made Foolhardy Attempt to Cross '
 River in Q Rickety Saow.


 River in 9 Rickety Saow.
 Manchester. N. H., July 14.--Fiva young men made a foolhardy attempt to-day to cross the Piscatoroug river in rickety scow less than twenty-five feet above the falls at Baldwin.s bob- bins shop, and as 8 result three now rest in a watery grave. The boys. whose ages varied from seventeen tu twenty-two years, started out with no, oars, but pieces of boards for paddles. The river Is extremely high. The swift current carried the boat towards the dam with alarming rapidity. The young men all jumped as the scoW hung for a minute on the flash boards and landed on the rocks below the falls.
 Frank sitnard, seventeen years old. was swept beneath the dam by the uns dercurrent and was drowned. Joseph Lavoc, twenty years old, and Thomas Terrier, twenty years old, also went down. William Lavoc and George Ter rien were swept ashore and escaped. None of the bodies has as yet been recovered, as the current Is too swift at the present time to allow of the success- full use of grappling irons.

POLICEMEN ARE AROUSED
At the Statement Made in an Evening
 Paper Yesterday.

At the Statement Made in an Evenina
 Paper Yesterday.
 An article published in an evening paper yesterday stating that under a. rule of practice observed in the police department police officers are enabled to draw 377 days pay for a years work caused much comment, not exactly of a complimentary character, among the members of the department last even- ing
 The article referred to stated thai each officer in the department is al- lowed vacation of one day. each month and received pay for that day. whether or not he takes the vacation. The article stated further that if the officers did not choose to take theirs twelve vacation days during the year. they were allowed pay for those days in addition to their regular regular sal- aries, thus making it possible for them to draw 377 days pay for one yearal work.
 The statement is absolutely untrue. Police officers are allowed one days va. cation each month and they are allow- ed to let their days accumulate to the number of ten. Opposite each mans name on the pay roll note Is made oH the number of vacation days to his credit, or If there are no vacation days to his credit, that Is days which he has not taken, this fact is noted. From the number of vacation days accounts lated to mans credit, if any are ac- cumulated, are deducted days lost on account of sickness, unless the commis- sioners vote to allow pay for time sn lost
 It is a rule of the department that IS an officer does not take advantage dur ing the year of all his vacation days. those days in excess of ten to his cred- 1t at the end of the year are cancelled, only ten days being allowed to accu- mulate at any time. No extra pay for vacation days not taken is allowed and no man in the department can in any way draw more than 365 days pay in a year or 366 days pay in a leap year. If man does not care to take advan- tage of his one days vacation a month he receives simply his regular pay for that day, pay which he would also have received had he not worked that day, but he receives no extra pay on ac- count of not having taken his days of tiOp

A Collision at Montowese.

A llead-on collision occurred in Mon- towese yesterday afternoon on the curve near what is known as the Widow Smith place between an open car and a box car of the Fair Haven Haven and Westville railroad It was said last evening that the motorman of the open car whose name could not be learned was slightly injured and that child sitting on the front seat of the open car was struck in the mouth by a piece of wood, the blow knocking out the front teeth. The en- ployes of the road would say nothing concerning the accident last night.
 The curve on which the collision oc- cured is so abrupt that the motormen Of neither car saw the car advancing towards him in tipne to avoid the col nsion.
