Indiana Governor Delays An swer in Ex-Governor Tay-
 Tor Case for a Week

Indianapolis, Ind, September 30.-Gover- nor Durbin this afternoon informed the Kentucky officials here, with requisi- ton from Governor Beckham of Ken lucky for the return to that State for trial of W. s. Taylor and Charles Finley charged with complicity in the Goebel murder, that he would not render formal decision for a week or more.
 This final answer of the Governor was in compliance with the request of the Kentucky represent atives that the Gov ernor read carefully the transcript of the record and the briefs in the Powers case, the briefs and decisions of the court of appeals in all the Goebel cases together with the dissenting opinions of the judges of the court of appeals from the decision of the court.
 The papers submitted to the Governor by Arthur Goebel, s. l.. Mills and J. R. Griffin of Cincinnati and Chief of Police Williams of Frankfort, Ky, were vo- luminous and treated the matter exten- sively from all standpoints, including the history of the Goebel murder. the trials of Powers. Youtsey. Howard and Ripley and the former application of Kentucky for acquisitions for Taylor and Finley.
 Arthur Goebel in relating the inter- view with Governor Durbin said:
 T asked the Governor, who was about to deny the requisitions, if he had read all the evidence in the cases. He said he had not I then asked him if. after read ing the evidence, he felt the verdicts were fair in the other cases, he would surren- der Taylor and Finley, and he did not re- ply. l then asked him if he did not think it fair that he should read the evidence before deciding. and he said he would.
 It is the general feeling here that the acquisitions will be refused.

LIGHT WIND IS PREDICTED

New York, September 30.-Every one Is whistling for favoring wind when the Columbia and Shamrock II. meet tomor- row in the second race for the Am erica's s pitch as a result of the grand contest of Saturday. Confidence is supreme on board the Erin and the Shamrock. as 1t is with the American yachtsmen. The course Is to be triangular. ten miles to a leg; beat to windward and two reaches or a run and reach; this, however. de- pending upon the wind. The start may be expected about 11:s0 o'clock.
 The official forecast for Sandy Hook from Washington is as follows:
 "The winds will be light to fresh northerly in the morning, but they probably will decrease toward noon and become variable and light"
 A rattling wind without too much sea were the conditions on the course today. It was such day as made the sailors on both the challenger and the defender envious. Sir Thomas Lipton called it Shamrock weather and said that with such a clinlSing breeze tomorrow he would surely move the cup a little. On Columbia there was no boasting,, but a comfortable degree of confidence, and . certainlv that if the defepder wins to- morrow there will be nothing in 1t but three straight.
 Betting today showed the effect of Sat- urday's wonderful contest. The talk of long odds was silenced and two to one on Columbia seems to have been the best recorded on the general result while on tomorrow's race these odds were shaded down in one instance to to 5.

New York, September 30.-The strange story of woman who preferred to pass for a man was revealed by the death to- day of Miss Carolina Hall of Boston. a cabin passenger on the steamship Citta al Terino, which arrived from Naples and other Mediterranean ports on Sunday.
 On the passenger list Miss Hall ap- peared as MT. Charles Ludlow Hail." and with "him' on the ship was Mrs. Hall.

She was of slender build, medium height and with a short crop of light hair cut pompador. She dressed well and carried herself with the air of man. Her voice and gestures were masculine.
 After Mir" Hall was taken i'll the ships surgeons were called in and the secret came out. The patient begged that 1t be kept quiet, but the surgeons were forced to tell it to the captain, who. however, did not disclose it to the seventy-five passengers. The surgeons said the pa- | tient was suffering with consumption | The vessel docked at this pofr Sunday and the young woman died at 2:33 a. m today. During the day the coroner's of | flee was notified and coroner's physi- clan visited the snip and held an autopsy on the body. After this the other woman telegraphed to Colonel Hall in Boston. This evening a telegram from Albert J. Hall was received aboard the steamship for Miss Caroline A. Hall. saying the sender would come to New York. 1t was dated Boston Highlands
 Men Get Along Better.
 It was learned tonight through the Italian woman that Miss Hall had re- sided abroad about ten years and met her companion. Guisseppina Poriana, in Milan about three years ago. According to the story, Miss Hall decided that men got along better in the world than women and so adopted male costume. She travelled thus with the other woman for years; and as she was an artist, went about the art centers painting and work ing at her profession
 Being a good rifle shot Miss Hall Is said to have entered several tournaments and won prizes When she decided to come home she asked the Italian wom an to accompany her.

YURA DIAMOND COMPANY
HELD UP BY ATTACHMENTS

The Yura Diamond Company, which
has been doing business in imitation dia-
monds in the r. C. Taylor building at
4S4 Main Street, closed its doors yester-
day, packed its stock of goods and had
the same transported to the freight depot
of the Providence line of the New Haven
Railroad
Just behind the truckman followed Con-
stable Albert f. Richardson with two or
three writs, which had been hastily Sc
cured in the interest of creditors. He
succeeded in overtaking the goods, and
stopped their further transit, at least
temporarily.
1t is doubtful if any benefit will come to
the creditors from the proceeding, be-
cause there is a mortgage on the stock
given to G. L. Pratt of Springfield by
Ernest E. Pratt, who seems to have con-
stituted the Yura Diamond Company.
The four large cases reached by the con-
stable are supposed to contain imitation
jewels. The cases are addressed to May
Austin. Providence R. I. Two local con-
Germs are among the creditors. Dolan &
Co of Attleboro are the largest creditors
The premises were leased from S. R.
Haywood, who leases from R. c. Taylor.

GREAT ADVANCE IN
EVENING SCHOOLS
Greater Interest and Better Re-
suits Shown at the End of the
First Term Than in Past Years
Chance for New Pupils

| At the present time the public eve
ming school pupils are enjoying the
longest mid-year recess they have had
in the history of the schools, the school
committee having granted them three
extra days, making the time the same
as the day school vacation. The eve
ming schools will reopen Thursday
night.
The schools closed for these holidays
in a very healthy condition, having had
a much better per centage in attend
ance than on previous years. This is
particularly the case with the High
School, where both the enrolment and
percentage attending were far in ex-
cess of previous years.
This school has rapidly become popu-
lar at home and spread its reputation
abroad by means of educators who
have come here from many cities to
study the system and inspect its prac-
teal working.
Between 400 and 500 students occupy
81 rooms in the English High School
building five nights each week. The
average age is somewhat greater than
those who occupy the same rooms in
the daytime and their average training
is about the same. They are wellbal
anced, bright young people who are
continually giving UP their evenings
for work they know will pay them well
in the end. No department in the
school requires any outside work from
the student: instead, the teachers
are expected to prepare and plan their
work so that the most may be OBJ
tanned from each subject in the hours
allotted to it.
A short review of the work in all
studies has been planned by the princi-
pal for the first week of school, in or
der to help those who have been
obliged to be out more or less during
the holiday season. This also serves
as an excellent opportunity for many
to register who have thus far been I'M
able to accept the advantages of this
school. A regarding in many of the
subjects will also help those who are
now expected to enter for the first
time this year.
All of the classes in modern Ian
guages are to be conducted by men
who speak the languages as natives.
The Spanish will be taught by Rafael
Romen who succeeds Jose Reyes, the
latter resigning on account of poor
health. Prof. Albert Pernot will con-
tinue in charge of the French, in which
there are three grades, including in all
| about 80 pupils, and PROT ]. Loesberg
will conduct the German classes.
The classes in Latin have been more
popular than in past years, and one
of them, which gives special instruc-
ton to those who may afterward teach
the subject has many Normal School
graduates in attendance This class is
in charge of f. H. Ellis of the South
High School
The bookkeeping, stenography, ma
thematics, English and science depart
ments are all in good condition, hav-
ing in every case a better graduation
| and more pupils than at this time in
any previous year
