A. 0. U. ". COALING STATION

tContinued from First Page.) any coal dealer in the city The prices in the city have been so high that we were led to believe coal could be bought cheaper and on corresponding with out of town concerns it was learned that with enough buyers such a thing was possible, It is the present intention of the men behind the plan to have each member of the order become stock holder with the shares at one dollar, although this point has not been defin- itely settled. Anyway stock will be sold only r.. the members and at the end of the year a dividend though probably small will be declared"
 MT Curtiss then went on to say that all the members were in favor of the plan and that as the benefit would be big they all were willing to give it their hearty support.
 Continuing he said: 'We have many prominent men in the city in our ranks and they believe that a big body like the Workmen can run a. yard like the one planned. It will be run to benefit the Workmen only and all the help will
 
 clerical help, the team drivers and the men that will furnish the teams and in fact all employed there will be Workmen, so that we all will have a good chance to get along despite the circumstances"
 Mir Curtiss said that work will begin at once for furthering the plans and that a meeting will be held some time shortly after Christmas to make final arrangements, for the election of off, cers and board of directors.
 It is understood that MT. Curtiss will be general manager of the yard. He is secretary of the order and is very able business man.
 He said last night that such organiza- tions were to be found all through the west and that they were very flourish ing. The members of the particular or- der patronize them universally and he saw no reason why a most successful organization should not be put imme- diately into working order in New Ha- ven.
 It is the intention of the members to sell wood with the coal and if the high prices in Ice continue next summer they will esta blsh an ice plant for the bene- fit of the members.
 Possibly there will be a general sup ply house like there is in other cities, but the advancement will be made to- ward the coal trade first and then later steps will be taken along other lines. The business will probably start some- time in February

for shoplifting. These are the first ar- rests made since the holiday trade be- gan for that offense. Veteran Patrol man Benjamin Jackson was at Howe & Stetson's last evening and claims that he saw Mrs. Miller take a fur col- larette. He teIephoned to police head quarters for an officer to come to the store and the two women were detained until the officer arrived.
 Patrolman B. Daly was sent down from headquarters and he and Jackson took the two women to the central po- lice station, where Detective Robert P. Dunlap put them through the third degree" of questioning. Captain COWles arrived later and to him Mrs. Miller confessed to the theft of the collarette. When she was arrested the collarette and pocketbook were the only arti- cles found in her possession.
 Mrs. Miller is about thirty years of age and her husband is employed at Winchester's. She has one child, a son. Her sister from Brooklyn is a rather good looking young woman about twenty-five years of age.
 The two women were searched at police headquarters by Mrs Ireland, the matron. Both women are evidently very poor and Mrs Ireland after search ing them last night said that they did not have. on clothing enough to keep them warm
 Captain Cowles of the detective bu- reau said last night that he expected to have evidence this morning suffi- cient to warrant placing other charges of shopllfting against the two women.

CASE OF CADET BOQZ.
A Tobasco Sauce Hazing at West Point
 A Former Cadets Testimony,

Philadelphia, Dec 1.-The taking of testimony in the case of Oscar L. Booz, the West Point cadet who died two weeks ago from injuries which his par ents allege were inflicted at the West Point Military Academy, was begun to- day by the board of inquiry Three sessions were held during the day, two at Bristol, the home of the Booz fam fly, and a short session in this city in the late afternoon. The witnesses call ed were William H. Booz, father; Mrs. Sarah Booz, mother; Nellie Booz, sister of the young man; Rev. Dr. Allison, pr. Weaver, Bristol physician, who attended Oscar BooZ, and several oth- CTS. Little of their testimony was new. After hearing all the Bristol witnesses, the board made a flying visit to this city, where it took the testimony of pr. J. Soils Cohen, a throat specialist, who had Oscar under treatment, and s. s. Albert, former classmate of Oscar Booz.
 pr. Cohen said that Oscar had tuber- culosis of the larynx and that when he came to this city for treatment his case was hopeless. In answer to question whether a person could con- tract tuberculosis from an injury to the throat, the physician said it could only come from pre-existing case. The doctor said he noticed that Booz had an old injury in the throat. He thought that if the tobasco sauce had been forced down Booz's throat it may I11U tn the disease.
 Sigmond S. Albert, who had been a cadet at West Point for fourteen months, and was a cassmate of Oscar Booz, was called He was asked to state in a general way what sort of hazing had been indulged in at the academy, but he absolutely refused to answer. Albert said that Booz was not hazed any more than any other cadet. He then related how he and Booz and other fourth year men were made to do ridiculous stunts" such as making the upper class mems bed and "other un- manly and disgracefup' things. What the unmanly and disgraceful things were the witness refused to state, say ing that it was not of the public's bus mess. He took the hazing because he expected it. He told of one night when some fourth year men were stood up in tent and told to open their mouths and shut their eyes. They obeyed, and then some one squirted into their months what he believed to be tobasco sauce.
 It did not hurt Albert because there was not enough of it. He could not say whether Booz was one of the vic- tims as they all had their eyes closed. He said Booz never complained to him

The report that Mrs. Lucy Boardman of this city has offered a handsome sum for the endowment of the Berkeley D1- vinity school (Episcopalian) in case of its removal to this city was fully con- firmed by inquiry here yesterday. It Is also ascertained that the Berkeley trus- tees applied to the Yale corporation re- gently asking cooperation in the mat ter The corporation at it's meeting a few days ago answered that in case of the removal of the school to New Ha- ven, the Yale corporation would give students of the school the use of the university library, the right to attend at the Yale public lectures and concerts, admission to graduate courses and oth- CT privileges. The corporation also ex- pressed readiness to consult with the Berkeley trustees on other matters re- lating to the school and the university.
 From a person familiar with the sit nation here it is ascertained that the Berkeley trustees are seriously consid- ering the matter. the chief obstacle to removal being the danger of forfeiting certain endowments should the school be removed from Middletown. The matter of advantageous relations with Yale is a decided consideration in the case Since the death of Bishop Will Hams it has been said that the school has somewhat diminished in numbers.
 In connection with the projected re- moval are recalled the negotiations which failed some thirty years ago for the removal of Trinity college from Hartford and it's installation as a de- partment of Yale.
 The amount offered by Mrs Board- man, in case of removal, is $150,00O. The with its endowment, is worth several hundred thousand dollars. It has 424 alumni, living and dead, among them many high Episcopal church dig

BERKELEY DIVINITY SCHOOL.
Mrs. Lucy Boardman's Offer to Trus- tees if School is Established Here.

Mrs. Lucy Boardman'6 Offer to Trus- tees if School is Established Here. Middletown, Dec. 17.-The trustees of the Berkeley Divinity school are con- siderlng an offer from Mrs Lucy Boardman of New Haven, to establish the school in that city. It is said that l she is willing to give to the school a ! large modern building and considera-
 ble endowment if they will remove to that locality. There are many legal questions that may arise in this mat ter and it is by no means certain that
 the trustees will conclude to move. Mrs. Boardman is a sister of Joseph
 E. Sheffield, who was benefactor of the school.
 The school owes it's existence and growth to the late John Williams, fourth bishop of Connecticut, From the foundation of the school until his death, Bishop Williams remained the active head as president of the trus- tees and dean of the faculty.
 The school was started in the autumn of 1S49 shortly after Dr. Williams be- came president of Trinity college A charter was received from the general assembly in 1854 and the school was established on an independent basis at Middletown. Since then new build ings have been added from time to time, the latest being the library nam ed after Bishop Williams. Although the school is especially the theological seminary of the diocese of Connecticut, only about 90 of the 360 living alumni now belong in Connecticut, the re- mainder being widely scattered throughout the union as well as in for eign lands. Among the number are eleven of the present bishops, the heads of four theological seminaries and professors in four others. The whole number of alumni is 424. of which 63 are deceased. The present dean is Rev. John Binney, D. D. The sub-dea is Rev. Samuel Hart, D. D., for many years connected with Trinity college. Bishop Brewster is president ex-officio of the board of trustees and of the faculty.
