HALLUCINATION
STORY OF ATTACK ON GUARD AT
 M,KINLBY,S CRAVE.

Common Belief That Private DePrent
 Was Overwrought by the Lonelines
 of HIS Pesition-Tho Post an Isolate cd
 One and Particularly Depressing. | Canton, O., Sept. 30.-The officers and
 men of Company c of the Fourteenth
 United States infantry on duty at | Westlawn cemetery, guarding the rest
 ing place of President Mckinley, work | ed diligently to-day Investigating the | strange story, in which Private De Prend. who was on duty at the vault Sunday night, figured so prominently. From interviews with all the command
 ing officers, several non commissioned
 officers and a number of privates the following was gathered:
 All the commissioned officers and the officers of the company in general &C., cepted fully the story related by Pri- vate De Prend last night and really be- lieved that the providers were about the vault with no good purpose. To-day only one of the commissioned officers adhered to the belief that an attempt had been made upon the sentinel for ghoulish purposes. He said: Tt was the real thing. It was prompted by the pure cussedness of some people who thought to bring reproach upon the na- tion by doing damage to the resting place of the dead president"
 All the men who were seen expressed the belief that Private De Prend acted in good faith and that he related only what he believed to be the real cir cumstances. With the captain and oth- CTS he went over the details of the whole affair at least dozen times and 1t is said. he did not vary in a matter of importance. Particular inquiry was made as to his sobriety at tAe time and it is said that it is established be- yond all reasonable doubt that he had not been drinking and that he was in his normal condition. The most com mon belief is that the sentinel was overwrought by the loneliness of his position, that his nerves were over taxed and that imagination contributed some Of the details related in good faith. The post was regarded by all as particularly isolated and depressing to the man guarding 1t at night, and it is understood that more sentinels will be stationed at the point in the future.
 Captain Riddle thanked the reporters for what he called the fair manner in which the incident had been described in the morning reports, saying they gave a full and complete statement of facts, so far as revealed last night. Hn was fully convinced last night, of the truth of the story as detailed, but af- ter investigation entertained doubts, not of the sincerity of Private De Prend but of correctness of conclusions.
 Captain Riddle authorized this s.ate- ment:
 T thing the sentinel deceived him. self as to the occurrence. I do not think an actual attack as related by E4m, occurred. When day light came no evidence of a struggle was found"
 The matter has been reported In full to General Otls. at Chicago command ing the department to which the guard is attached. Whether there will be formal inquiry into the matter remains for General Otis to determine. Officers at the cemetery expressed the hope that inasmuch as no actual harm had been done, no formal action would be taken.

Green During tho Bt-centon n ntoi-Th'
 Vote Was Unanimous and the MotioI Was Offered by MT. Curtis Who Re-
 csded From His Former Position-A
 Committee Named to Have Charge ol
 the Expenditure-Spccial Common | Council Meeting Tonight
 At last the matter of an appropria-
 tion for proper and suitable observ- ance by New Haven as a municipality of the Yale bi-centennial is settled so far as the board of finance is concerned, that body having at an adjourned meeting held late yesterday afternoon voted to appropriate $1,5OO, the full amount recommended by the court of common council, and the full amount which the city is permitted under it's charter to appropriate for public cele- bration.
 Yesterday afternoons session of the board of finance convened at 5:30. Citi- zens and newspaper men were permit ted to be present during the entire ses- sion. The business was transacted with despatch, the meeting lasting only about half an hour
 All the members were present, in cluding MT. Curtis whose absence from ,tkx C. I1@, ,oelr. 1, I>n1 the reason assigned by some of the members of the board for desiring to postpone action on reconsideration of the previous vote to appropriate $750
 As soon as the meeting was called to order yesterday afternoon Mayor Stud ley stated that he had at a previous, meeting voted twice on motion to re- consider, once as member of the board and then as chairman to dissolve a tie in order to place the matter in such condition that subsequent reconsidera- ticn would not be impossible. He did so, he said, because he considered 1t his duty to do so. The supreme court, of the United States had decided that such action on the part of chairman voting twice on an affirmative question was legal. Other courts had decided the opposite Some objection to his so voting had, he understood, been made and therefore he requested that some member again offer a motion to recon sider the former action in appropriating $750 and that the motion be voted upon again in order that there might be no further objection on that score.
 Tn accordance with this request MT. Dewell who at previous meeting of fered the motion to reconsider on which the mayor vot ed twice, moved to recon sider At once MT. Atwood objected to MT. Dewell offering the motion. claim ing that MT. Dewell had no right to do
 Yesterday, however, MT. Dewell did 50. He said that if some other menl- Der offered the motion he would vote for it. The ground of his objection which he had stated at a previous meeting was this: He claimed that when the vote was taken to appropri- ate s750 Mir Dewell did not vote affirm atively and that consequently he could | not, under parliamentary rules, be per- mitted to move reconsideration. When that former vote was taken there were no dissenting votes and it was recorded | as an unanimous vote Consequently | MT. Dewell claimed that since he did not vote negatively he had 8 right to move to reconsider and his contention | was sustained on that previous occa- sion by the mayor putting the motion.

whom had no duties to perform.
