ATTACK TICKET SPECTATORS.
Yale Students Resent ExhOrbitant
Prices Asked and Deal
With Them.

New Haven, Conn, November 20
An extraordinary scene was witnessed
here tonight When Yale students made
an attack on h ticket spectators and
relieved them of every ticket for the
~Yale-Harvard foot pail game in their
possession. The spectators were
given the regulation price, 81, for every
ticket taken. In several instances
when the ticket dealers demonstrated
they were roughly handled.
The eXorbitant prices demanded by
spectators for tickets had aroused the
student body md they decided to take
the matter into their own hands.
Most Of the tickets taken were on
the Harvard side of the field, and were
obtained in Boston by the spectators.
A few tickets on the Yale side of the
field were found, however, and as
every ticket beers the name of the
Istudent to whom it was issued it Is
expected there will be interesting de-
IvelCrments in view of the fact that
the loot ball management some time
ago threatened to publish he rameS
of students whose tickets were found
in the hands of Specul" tors.

and had other dependent: on them. At
this j%uncture DR.. Roberts was temper
arily withdrawn as a witness and DR..
John o. Malley of Scranton was ques-
ton by James L. Lenahan. counsel for
the mine workers.
His experience had been that catarrh,
asthma, rheumatism, stomach troubles,
pneumonia, scitica Iumbago. anaemia,
etc, were the diseases from which min
ers usually suffered.
I Asked to infinitely describe miners
asthma, he said that it was a condition
due to inhalation of great quantities of
coal dust, powder smoke and vitiated
air.
Questioned as to whether or not the
disease was durable. the doctor stated
that the fatalities resulting from it were
slight. but that the likelihood of it's pro-
ducing some fatal disease was common.
The effect of asthma, he said. was very
facilitating, it disturbS nutrition. and
the person suffering from it had a
gaunt. emaciated appearance rendering
it impossible for the miner TO do good
work. There We're bur few. he said,
who could escape even moderate at
lacks.

that asthmatic patients are usually long

was then called. his examination being
conducted by John Shea, of counsel for
the mine workers. After stating his
connection with several husritalso of this
city, he said the coal companies con-
trlbuted very little to their support.
His testimony regarding the causes of
miners asthma, etc, was substantially
the same as that given by the proceed
Ing witness. The effect Ct PARTICLES of
coal getting into the lungs OF the men.
he said, was that it brought on bron-
chial troubles. and eventually a Decu-
liar form of consumption.
What is the average life of a min

TWENTY-FIVE or thirty years.
When asked if it were not true that
all people who are employed out of the
sun light are likely to have a pale.
dnaemlc appearance. the doctor said
that if the statements he lad today
heard were true. the Jack Of sun light
would not contribute to any great ex-
tent to the miners condition, because
the companies claimed the men left
their work before noon.
Mr. Warren detailed the better condi-
tions which exist in the mines now,
with respect to purer ventilation, and
the duties of the fire DCss who precedes
the men in the mines. but the doctor
said he could not see now the purity Of
the air could be increased without in
creasing the drafts and que
increase the exposure of the miner to
rheumatism, pneumonia, etc.

Elected by the Police.

New York, EOVember 2O.-Mrs. Car
RE Nation created a sensation at the

great gathering on the evils of
o~ver-dress, attempted to- break a bot
tie of champagne, and finally was
elected from the building by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quiet
ly and took a seat in the tier. She a
been there only a few minutes when
her gaze rested on the box where some
members of the Vanderbilt family were
sitting. She studied her programme
and then descended to the promenade.
Statiuning herself in front of the Van
derbilt box she delivered a TRADE on
Over-dress. IN the box were seated
Mrs. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt, Reginald
Vanderbilt and Miss Nelson, Alfred
G. Wander bilt was leaning against thu
rail of the promenade and did not see
Mrs. Nation approach.
You ought 20. be ashamed of your
Selves the woman screamed at them.
You ought 10 be ashamed to wear
such ~disgIaceful clothes. Take them
off, take them eff at once, and attire
yourselves more mod silly
Alfred C. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position. at the rail and came over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing and
wiping her forehead with a handker-
chief, he Whispered something in heE
ear and Pushed her away. The out
burst of the woman attracted a great
crowd of people and the occupants of
the Vanderbilt box were evidently very
much embarrassed Mrs. Nation then
turned her attention to other boxes.
Finally she started for the cafe, where
che hnrp down on a marty nf mon who
were drinking wine. Mrs. Nation
seized the bottle and glaring at the
men shouted:
Young men, ont drink such filthy
stuff. o. are going straight TO he'll.
Where is the man who sells this stuff.
Show him to me and | will tell him
what l think Of him"
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance of
NJ Villepigue, the caterer at the gar
den.
Get out of this horrible business, .
she shouted at him. You are also go
ing to hell and running the bodies and
souls of men. You are dragging them
down with YOU. Shame on you, shame
on YOU
The ~Frenchman. however, ran TO
Mrs. Nation and rescued the botti"
which she had repeatedly brandishei
in the air TO emphasize her remarks.
Then he pushed her out of the door.
Here the police took hold of the Kan
sas reforrler and forced her out Of the
building.
