AUTOMOBILE EXHIBIT OPENS.
Large Crowds Enjoy the Novel Show
ut Convention Hall.


Mt Convention Hall.
From all appearances automobile shows
seem to have taken their place along with
horse shows events to attract the crowds
of the fashionable and well-to-do, who COM
prise what is termed society, and this prob
ability was emphasized last night by the
throngs that attended the opening of the
exhibition in Convention Hall.
People prominent in social and official life
were numerously noticeable, and the inter-
est taken in the unusually complete collec-
tion of motor carriages was marked. Every
thing on wheels that doesn't run on rails
and which is propelled by electricity or
steam generated by gasoline. from the light
single runabout to the heavy drag of big
carrying capacity, isI included in the ex-
hibits which occupy the center Of the i'm
mense space, and which IS safely reached
by means of BRIDGE which spans a speed
ing and exhibition track that runs around
the hall.
Contests Of various Sorts will take place
nightly on this track and Thursday night
floral parade will be given, handsome
prize to be awarded to the most artistic
display. OF
The exhibitors include the Riker Motor
Vehicle Company OF Elizabethport. N. j..
of which Mr.. F. C. C.sSteveiis. president of
the Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany Of this city, is president; the De Dion
Bouton Motorette Company. the Electric
Vehicle Company Of New York, the Over
man Automobile Company of New York,
the Knox Automobile Company. the mo
bile" Company Of Kingsland Point. N. Y.
and the Woods Motor Vehicle Company Of
Chicago and New York.
Haley's Band has been engaged to render

For the correct informatio of persons
not familiar with the conditions of the
academy 1t ought to be here stated that
the full and free information given by all
cadets now who have any knowledge of
the fight in which ex-Cadet Booz engaged,
Is given on account of the untrue state
ments so widely circulated in the press and
that the fight mentioned was, of course
not engaged in with the knowledge or coun-
tenance of the authorities then in control
a the academy. Such encounters are en-
gagged in at times secretly by cadets, and
always have been, but it Is fair to say
that they are in no way common, and that
they are believed to be much less frequent
than similar affairs are among any large
body of boys and young men assembled to-
gether in close association at any place.
The War Department Is familiar with
the very stringent enforcement of the strict
rules of the academy against 'hazing new
cadets in any manner, and with the diff
culties that have been encountered in get
ting cadets to tell anything at the time of
such affairs, even when the authorities have
reason to suspect that some unauthorized
affair has taken place.

"In conclusion, and in view of the wide
publicity given in this case by the press to
the scan1alors charges against the Military
Academy, l recommend that a rigid inves-
t!gation of the charges be ordered by the
War Department. the investigation to cover
the action taken by the authorities in sup
pressing hazing, and that the result be Civ
the widest possible publicity.

Charge Regarding a Compulsory
Drink.

1.-THE additional specific charge that after
the fight fluid was poured down Cadet
Boozs throat, from the effects Of which
he was afterward sufferer, is earnestly
denied by all the witnesses of the fight.
The charge, to one familiar with cadet Gus
toms, is an absurd one. I do not hesitate to
assert that 1t Is untrue.
Immediately following the encounter re-
ierred to, find that Cadet Booz fell into
the contempt of his fellow cadets in con-
sequence of report which gained circula
ton among them that he had been guilty
of an untruth, and feeling that he had
displayed but little spirit in his fight. The
origin of the former report was as follows
When Cadet Boox was on guard on August
2 he was reported by the cadet corporal Of
his relief for failing to take his post prop
srly when posted as sentinel In a writ
len explanation to the commandant Of ca
dets, Cadet Booz denied the correctness of
the report given him. The cadet corporal
becoming aware Of this denial. and finding
it to be false, consulted the president OF
the first class as to the best action to take

Connecticut during this campaign, are
confident that the appeal for order issued
yesterday viii be effective.
The appeal which was mentioned In
brief dispatches yesterday. follows:
In view of the coming visit OF Mr..
Bryan to New Haven, soEle apprehension
has been felt lest the unfortuns te occur
rences Of four years ago should be re-
peated- II they are. it can only be
through the thoughtlessness of men who
forget what they owe to themselves as
gentlemen and TO Yale.
Mr. Blyan's position as tne leader of
one of the national parties should alone
! secure for him a respectful hearing. ANY
attempt to create 3 disturbance or inter
ruption during the course of his speech
would be an act OF decided discourtesy to-
ward a public man. For this reason. II
is due to each mans character as gen.
tlemen that he set himself against any
such action, snd above all, ii is due 10
the university, whose willingness to nave
fair play will be judged by the press and
public rightly or wrongly from the man
ner in which Mr.. Bryan is received next
Saturday.
In the confidence that they are ex-

student body, the undersigned would beg

The appeal is signed by many OF the

| The Yale men who are in the Yale Bryan
