a Tech Student Equals Work of an ordi-

NdEY ftOi9N-
Some interesting experiments were
made yesterday at the Tech under the
direction of President 7. c. Menden-
hall and some of the professors Of the
physics department.
Under the direction Of the president,
a number Of the students who have
athletic proclivities were persuaded to
run at the top of their speed up the
steep hill on which the institute is
located. They were timed exactly by
stop watches and the height Of the hill
having been accurately measured by
the civil engineers and the runners
weighed at the bottom Of the hill pc
faAe starting, it was easy for the
scientists to calculate just how much
work the men had done in raising theiI
weight to that height in the time II
took them to mount the incline.

day showed that in running up the mn

AN uNRULY COW.
Things Exciting at Lincoln Squares. c.
Earle Had an Experience.

An unruly COW bought by Isaac Ka-
der of 81 Water street from c. H.
Ellsworth yesterday morning, created
considerable excitement in the vicinity
of Lincoln square. and for a few min
utes it looked as if the good old days
when COWS had their fling about the
streets Of the town had returned. Ste
phen Earle, the architect, was one of
the first to feel the COW, as he was
slammed against the fence in front Of
the Hancock Club, with enough force
to make him think that an engine had
left the track on the crossing and had
struck him. A number of boys tried
to stop the bovine, but she had her
way until officer Jerome Barker en-
tered the chase, and finally got hold of
her. After a determined struggle she
was returned to her owner.

Friends Of Margaret
Dee Want Her
Examined.
IS WELL COMM CTED
Prisoner Says Nothing Ex-
cept to Declare Her
Entire Innocence.

Friends of Miss Margaret Dee, who
was arrested Monday afternoon by Of
ficer Eaton on Main street, for the al
legged larceny of S95 from Miss Frances
Killilea in DR.. Joseph H. Smiths office
476 Main street, talked with Chief of
Police James NJ. brennan yesterday
afternoon and asked that he have her
examined as to her sanity.
She belongs in Boston and is well
connected. For several years her axe
tions have~been very eccentric in many
ways, and some OF her actions mako
her friends think she is of unsound
mind. Chief brennan will comply with
their wishes and this morning she will
be examined.
Yesterday morning she was brought
before Judge Utley for a second tins
to stand trial for the alleged larceny of
Miss Killilea's pocketbook, and the
charge was changed from larceny to
larceny from building, which is more
serious in the eyes of the law. Drs
Smith, Watkins and Davis, dentists,
Misses KiIlilea, Kathryn A. Holian,
Mrs. Margaret Wilcox, wife of the pas
tor of Park Church, and Inspector
O'Day were at court to testify, and told

spector O'Day testified to his inquiries
about the girl in Hyde Park. Canton
and Boston, where he learned that the
woman had caused considerable trou-
BILE to storekeepers and other people
with whom she came in contact En-
ployees of railroads running into Bos-
ton have for long time looked on her
as a spotter and regard her as nuis-

any statement in court other than TO
deny that she was in any way con-
nected with the larceny cases.
Michael Kerwin, charged with as
sault and battery on John Costello, was

not pass on the street without saying
things to each other. The assault oc-

Edward Snow, a driver for George D.

HIS trial DELAYED.
Brinkworth Case Put
Off for Another
Term.
A BURGLAR CASE.
John Leary Furnishes Much
Interest Other Crimi-
nal Matters.

1t was authoritatively announced
yesterday that Walter H. Brinkworth
will not be tried at the present term of
the criminal court for assault with a
weapon upon Miss Bessie Mcdonald,
sweetheart of the defendant, whom he
essayed to kill after the disruption of
their friendship.
While the girl has recovered, Brink
worths physical condition is so shat
tered by the incident and the injury
inflicted upon himself, that the gov
eminent will not force the case at the
present term. Brinkworth is out on
bail, but his constitution has received
such shock that fears are now enter
tanned of his ultimate recovery.
One side is paralyzed, and other de-
velopments have appeared to compli-
cate affairs. His discharge from the
city hospital was but recent.
The defendant may be merely called
to court to plead to the indictment,
but after conference with the coun-
sci in the case. Sullivan & O'Connell,
it has been practically settled that
there will be no trial at the present
term.
