Several of the Gang Have Been Indicted
 Before.

Boston, March 15.-The ten alleged
 counterfeiters, Salvador Mastrapavola his wife Angela and his daughter Mary, twelve years; Francisco Cacci alias En- rice Martino, alias Filippo, Pedro Con- gales, Antonio Cotognia, Antonia Ma zucci, Francisco Brosi, Giuseppe al Sal va and Francisco di Marco, who were arrested last night were arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner Fiske to-day and each held for the federal grand jury.
 From evidence in the hands of the authorities, it appears that one of the men, Cotogna, was arrested in 1894 and indicted on several counts of having in his possession counterfeit two- dollar bills and of attempting to pass and passing similar bills. He was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for three and one-half years. Another member of the company has figured previously in counterfeiting case. At the time George Bedame was arrested early this winter in Boston for passing counterfeit two-dolar bills, he claimed that Mastra apavola was his un- cle and certain letters alleged to have passed between the men were offered in evidence. Mastrapavola denied the rela- and insisted that he knew Be- dame only as a man who had taken a room in the same house.

PROF. PHELPS' LECTURE.
Third of the Series on American Literas
 ture Last Night.

Inifu OH tno Serles on Amor1can Atteroo ture Last Night.
 Professor William Lyon Phelps deliv-s
 cred the third of his series of lectures
 on American Literature under the aus-
 pices of the University Extension cen-
 ter in Warner hall last night. The att
 tendance was not large owing to tho
 disagreeable weather, but the lecture
 was full of interest and those whGi
 heard it were much edif1ed as to the life and works of the great American novel; ist, James Fennimore Cooper.
 MT. Cooper was born in 17S9, the year of the French revolution. He received splendid early training and at the res
 markable age of thirteen entered Yale in the class of 1906. He, however, did not complete his course in the college because of being expelled. At the age of nineteen he married. He and his family went to Europe in 1922 and re- mained there for seven years. In 1881 he took up his residence at Coopers- town, N. Y., in the vicinity of which town the scenes of many of his novels are laid. His life was full of quarrels, ana ne Hau frequent ldW5ullS WltH JH6 newspapers, but won all of them. This made him unpopular to a degree, but his works were eagerly read by old and young.
 Cooper died in 1851, leaving request that no biography of his life be written. His wish was acceded to for several years, but Professor Lounsbury of Yale wrote one some years ago, which is ex- actly what it should be. Some of the works of Cooper are splendid, others are among the worst ever published. They lacked sympathetic imagination. His stories have been translated into every language and read with vide spread interest. There Is always a steady demand for his novels. He founded a new school of sea stories. Cooper was and will be best known for his Leather Stocking tales. He had no humor and wrote too much. He was a, great master of sustained narrative and is the greatest novelist of action that America has produced. His letters were of the greatest assistance to America at the time when American literature was in dsrepute in Europe.

which had no taste, smelled bad and had a green slime over it. Very little of it was eaten. Lots of the men vomited af- ter eating canned roast beef.
 Captain D. III. Houghton, Third cav airy, testified that in his command the officers drew the same rations as the men while in Cuba. "The complaint about the canned beef" he said, was that the men could not eat the meat and would not eat it unless absolutely compelled to to appease hunger. When the cans were opened the first thing that struck the observer was the repul- sive uninvitlng appearance of the con- tents. Darrhoea broke out in my camp about the time of the surrender and in general conversation among the of ficers we attributed the sickness in part to the meat"
 In reply to Major Lee, the witness said that canned roast beef was abso- lutely unfit for ration.
 Do you consider canned roast beef wholesome for the American soldier?"
 Tt is undoubtedly unwholesome. It tastes like chips. There is no substance to it and the fat and grease are abso- lutely repulsive"
 Colonel Henry L. Turner, who went to Cuba in command of the First H. linois infantry and became brigadier general of the Second brigade of the Third division of the Fifth army corps, was the next witness. He said on the way to Cuba there was good deal of unofficial complaint about the canned roast beef and as the result of an official complaint the surgeon condemned a lot of it and 1t was thrown overheard. The cans had swollen and the meat was very bad. In Cuba there was a shortaga of rations. A good deal of the refriger- ated beef spoiled, possibly from the in tense heat The greater part of 1t came done up in cheese cloth and some of it looked good, but some of 1t was dark.
 In reply to Major Lee, the witness stated that he had tried to eat some of the canned roast beef, but it nauseated him and he could not do it. It certainly was unfit for a ration in warm clim- ate. He regarded it as a contributing cause of the sickness of the men. He had also tried to eat the refrigerated beef, but could not as it gave him the diarrhoea.

Waterbury, March 15.-The Spring fields signalized their last appearance of the season in this oity by defeating Wa terbury 7-6 Every member of the Springfield team played magnif1cently, their passing being on a par with any, thing seen here this season. The work of Smith at goal was phenomenal, and the playing of Hipson and Connell was of the kind that has made them fla nous. The home team played an uphill game. The suspension of Sword for his non appearance at Hartford last night, caused Chatfield, an amateur, to be put in goal, but his work in the first pe- riod was so yellow that Holderness was Springfield made foul in goal, adding one to Waterbury's score. 7 Waterbury 6. 5, Hipson 8.

BILL FOR FOURTEEN TOUNS.
Endorsed by COuncilmen Last Night
 Special Committee to Advocate It.

 Special Committee to Advocate It.
 The councilmen held a short ad- journed session last night and passed a resolution directing the corpora tion counsel and the special committee Of the board, which is to go to Hartford to advocate the passage of the bin for dividing New Haven into fourteen towrs. In the absence of the clerk of the board, Councilman Beecher was ap- that committee of five, of which the president of the board should be one should be appointed by the chair to go to Hartford to favor the passage of those bills for charter amendments, on which the board has taken favorable action. President Anderson appointed the following gentlemen to serve on the committee with him. Messrs. Mannix, Hall, Rowe and Hillman.
 5, On motion of Dr. W. P. Baldwin 1t was voted to reimburse the members of this committee for the expenses in- cured by them in going to Hartford.
 The bill for the division of the city into several towns came up for discus sion and on motion of Councilman Ma ley it was voted to extend the privilege of the floor to W. s. Pardee, who drew up the bill MT. Pardee explained that the object of the bill wNs to secure a fairer representation in the legislature for New Haven, than the city now has. He said that as long as the town of New Haven had governmental func- tions a division into several towns was impossible, but that now since the con- solidation act the city could be so d. vided. He referred to the act which provides that all towns now incorpo- rated must have 2,500 population in order to be entitled to a representa- tive. He said that he had found that only one ward of the city now had less than 250O population, and he had therefore provided in the bill for the of the Fifteenth ward, the one having less than that number of inhabitants, and the Fourteenth ward, into one town.
 After Mir Pardee's explanation of the bill, instructions to the corporation and the special committee were passed.

TROLLEY PLUNGED INTO RLTER. Three Persons Lose Their Lives tn the

Worcester, Mass, March 15.-A car on the Millbury division of the Worcester and Suburban railway ran off the track from McGowan bridge and plunged in evening. Three occupants of the car were penned up in the vestibued con- veyance and drowned before help could be rendered. A fourth passenger George Puff of Brahamville, was se- verely injured, but may live The acci- dent took place in the center of Mill bury, within stones throw of the Providence station. The crew of a freight train in the depot broke the car to pieces with axes and rescued the bodies. The dead were:
 Michael Shea, motorman, lived for merly in Northampton.
 Fred White of Whitinsville, conductor, aged twenty-siX, single.
 Morris Welsh of Millbury, motorman, aged twenty-one, single.
 The cause of the accident is unknown, but was probably due to the fact that the tracks were covered with a layer of snow. The work of rescue was started soon after the accident. A fire alarm was rung and the whole fire and police departments in addition to the train crew mounted the wreck and cut away the debris. Puff owed his life to the fact fact that the car broke in two and his head happened to protrude above the water level. He calmly directed the rescuers
