The freshman who Mortified Policemen Win
chell and Cannon last night by his exchange OF
osculatory fluctuations with Miss Carroll might
have taken warning over the bare-legs episode
and might have regarded the wonderful pro-
visions OF the laws of New Haven more crcum-
specify. But from his lofty academic soul
had no fear. So he fell.
This is the way it all came about. Some
good citizen recently made mplaint to Mayor
Driscoll that there were too many young men
and women on the streets OF New Haven at
night aud asked the Mayor to ask the police to
do something about 1t. The police waked up
with bang.
For some reason. as soon as 1t became known
that Winchell and Cannon had been assigned
to reprsss the use OF the streets for peram bu-
lating receptions. the streets became very
quiet. Those to whom the news brought
oualms OF conscience went homo to think 1t
over. Only the freshman and his lass. in their
sweet and unsuspccting innocence. remained
