MANAGEMENT OF NAYA1 PRISONS
Series of Recommendations offered b.
Chaplain ID. III. Tiebon

Washington, Dec. 31.-The secretary
of the navy has received from Chaplain
d. H. Tiebon, who was delegated to at
tend the annual congress of the Ma
tional Prison association, a series of
recommendations for the management
of naval prisons. He strongly COM
mends the management of the prison
which is in the care Of Judge Advocate
General Lemly. The adoption Of the
probationary system is not recommend
ed, because the, dominant idea in mill
tary punishment Is to deter others from
crime.
While the practice Of allowing com
utation of sentence for good conduct is
commended, it is suggested that ii
might be advisable to divide prisoners
into three classes according to the de-
gree Of promise of earning a reduction
of term and to separate these classes
with special privileges. In the case of
pronounced criminals he suggests that
commendable as the prison discipline is,
it cannot reach such cases and he rec
ommends that they be transferred to
some neighboring state prison. An
other suggestion is that some system
of patrol be adopted so that young
boys guilty Of absence without leave
for minor offenses after three years
good conduct shall be permitted to re-
enlist and thus be in the way to secure
an honorable discharge.

THE CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Murdoch Loses for Yale and Cook Wins
Harvard Wins Trophy.


New York, Dec. S1.--The semi-final
round of the inter collegiate chess tour
nament was begun at the Columbia
Grammar school in this city to-cay
when the rarings and openings were as
follows: Murdoch of Yale VS.. Meyer of
Columbia, Spanish opening; Hewins Of
Harvard VS.. Young of Princeton, French
defense; Cook of Yale VS.. Seward Of Co
lumbia, Dutch opening; Southland of
Harvard VS.. Dana of Princeton, French
opening.
Meyer beat Murdoch In brilliant style.
This was doubtless the finest game con-
tested in the tournament so far. Forty
six moves were made. Only nineteen
moves were made In the game between
Hewins and Young. This, too. was a
pretty contest in which the former had
at first the advantage, hut the fine work
of Young made things equal and 80 the
players agreed to draw.
Cook and Seward contested their
games very stubbofnly hut evenly for a
great number of moves and they had to
adjourn the contest until the evening
session. AT this session Cook played
well and beat his man after forty-nine
moves. Southard's superb play was too
much for Dana, who aftey forty-one
moves resigned This victory secures
for Harvard the possession of the tro-
ply for another year. None of the
other rivals can reach the total of eight
points which the Harvard men have so
| far reached.

YALE and CORNELL.
Professor Huffcutt Offers Inducem ents for
Yale to Row.

Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 31-The interview
with Bob Cook Of Yale published yes
terday was read with considerable in
terest at Cornell. Mr., Cooks remarks
have not tended to clarity the situation
as some of the powers that be are In
clined to take offense at some fthe
statements. Prof. e. w. IIuffcutt, pres
ident of the Cornell athletic council,
took the matter as a joke and to-day
gave out the following interview:
I'VE will make Yale even better Of
fer. If she will row on the Cayuga
course, where no dredging or moving
or cooking is necessary we will pay all
her expenses while here and give her
the choice of lanes. There Is no better
course in the country than the Cayuga
lake course. 1t would not be a paying
venture financially to row here. but
Cornell does not row for money and is
willing to stand all the expenses Of the
race if Yale will bring her crew here.
We will provide her with bath house,
living quarters, coaching launches and
all paraphernalia for training. While
here she shall be our guest and partake
of our hospitality. There will be no
profits or we would divide these with
close of the exercises.

made her debut in Bar Harbor society.
Her illness followed shortly afterwards.
The Pultzers delayed their departure,
and most of the family, with retinue
of servants, have been there since.
The most noted specialists in the
country were employed and his daugh-
ter's condition had improved so greatly
that Mr. Pulitzer intended leaving for
his winter home on Jekyl island In few
days The sons of Mr. Pulitzer, sum
moned from Harvard, were at the bed
side Miss Lucille was one of the most
beautiful and cleverest of the debutan-
tes of last summer here. A special
train will convey the remains to New
York tomorrow and interment will take
place in that city.

YEAR IN oIrY COURT.
How the Police, City Attorney and Court
Have Labored in Preserving Peace.

Have Labored in Preserving Peace.
The city court begins the new year
this morning with the usual session for
the disposition of breaches against the
city's peace. The work of the city
court has been rather more arduous
the past year, as evidenced by the fact
that the years docket is longer than
ever before. That this is so is not the
least of the reasons why New Haven's s
citizens should begin the new year hap
PLY. IF the city must have criminal
class, the more of them there are be-
hind the bars the better.
Judging by the list Of prosecutions for
theft and burglary Of late, one would
say that this class of public offenders
who are at liberty must be SMALL In
these cases es well as in the less serious
misdemeanors the arrest and prosecu-
ton have in most instances followed
fast upon the crime. Twelve We're on
the files in Prosecuting Attorney
Browns office at one time charged with
either theft or burglary. Most of the
burglaries have been Of small stores
and places Of storing goods, with a few
burglaries Of residences.
Perhaps as important as any of these
was the arrest and binding over of
Frederick Carman, charged with break
ing into an express car. A statutory
offense. the penalty for breaking into
cars is justly severe. Carmal is bound
over on three counts, on any one of
which a sentence Of ten years in state
prison may be imposed. Street walkers
and policy players have also been made
to feel the weight Of the law, and con-
victions have been obtained in many
instances. There has been the usual
large number Of drunks and minor
breaches of the peace.
The DR.. Bond trial for murder in the
second degree is one of the most recent
and the most important cases heard in
the court. DR.. Bond has been bound
over for trial at the January term o.
the superior court. The cases against
Cook and Captain Hodgdon are still
pending in the court. On the whole
the police and prosecuting attorney and
the court can look back with much
qualification over the past year to-day
and feel that the city has received the
excellent protection in person and prop
erty.
