MANAGER FOX SPEAKS.

He Explains Distribution of Football
Tickets and Other Conditions.
Manager Alan Fox of the Yale Uni
versity Football association comes to
the front with a statement to clear up
the talk over the distribution of the
tickets for the recent Yale-Harvard
game.
In part Mr.. Fox says:
every coach, the president of the
university and every member of the
faculty, paid the regular price for his
seats Absolutely no free tickets were
| issued, except those referred to, nor
! has it been the custom in the past
| to issue free tickets to others, except
| that in the lats year or two the police
commissioners, some of the city Off
Gals, and the superintendent of the
New Haven police and some of the Of
| ficials OF the town of Orange have re-
ceived a number of complimentary
| tickets.
"There has been some newspaper talk
because these complimentary tickets
| have not been issued this year, and
alos because an effort was made to
secure the services of some Hartford
and Bridgeport police. The manage
ment feels constrained to say that, as
it paid So and 1928 for every man
acting as police at the game, and, fur
! tfermore, as it gave no complimentary
tickets to it's most loyal supporters,
including those who had given time
and thought to the preparations for
the game. it did not feel justified in
continuing the custom of issuing these
tickets free. Instead, however, the po-
lice were allowed to purchase at the
regular price GA of the choicest seats
on the ground, and 16 others, making
30 in all.
1.-THE inquiries of the Hartford and
Bridgeport police departments for men
were made because one of the New
Haven officials informed the manage
ment that it was doubtful If New Ha-
ven could spare the requisite number
of men for service that day. When
it was afterwards learned that New
Haven and Orange could take care OF
the entire policing of the game, the
services of the out-of-town police were
dispensed with. The management de-
sires to thank, however, the depart
ments of Hartford and Bridgeport
for their prompt response to its re-
quest"
Mr.. Fox touches briefly on the specu
lator question. In this connection hi
says: 1.-THE difficulty with this wholF
question has been the absence of an,
statute or local ordinance prohibiting
such speculation. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that next year the form OF tick
cts and the contract under which they
are sold will be such as to enable thu
management to effectually put stol
to this unpleasant. feature of tn
game"

ITO be Conttnusd Tomorrow
A QUESTION OF TAXATION.


To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier
The editorial columns Of the Register
continue to dilate on what it calls 'the
folly of the aldermen" in pointing out
to the citizens the fact that there is a
very large amount of property exempt
ed from taxation in New Haven, more
than twice as much per capita as the
average of both Detroit and Buffalo;
also that the exemptions to Yale uni
versity amount to over seven million
dollars, which is one-sixteenth of the
grand list, 50 that one-sixteenth Of the
amount paid by every taxpayer goes to
take the place of the tax which Yale
university would pay if there was not
provision in the charter that this
property of the university should not
be taxed.
The writer has had no conversation
with any alderman with reference to
this subject, but desires to express
some reflections concerning the matter
for the consideration of so many of our
| citizens as are willing to approach the
matter in an unprecedented spirit. Is it
right that a poor widow, who is work.
; ing twelve or fifteen hours day trying
to keep her little home and give her
boys a primary or perhaps part Of a
grammar school education, should have
one-sixteenth added to her taxes in aid
of the support of Yale university IN
| giving to the sons of the wealthy an
advanced education? Does a great,
wealthy and world-famous university
need to add one-sxteenth to the taxes
of thousands of widows, orphans and
poor men of this city in aid of giving
luxurious lodgings to Vanderbilts and
] other millionaires while obtaining an
education here?
A college education is supposed to
cultivate the mind to high conception
of justice and conscientious regard
for the rights Of others, as well as many
other admirable qualities. Do the in
telligent and cultivated graduates OF
Yale consider it just that this wealthy
university should be in part supported
by adding one-sixteenth to the taxes CT
the poor? When, long ago, the college
was educating a few poor young mer
for the ministry and owned few thou.
sand dollars worth of property, it is
claimed that the exemption was Gre
ated. If the charter did create such al
exemption, without taking up now the
question as to whether it was then jus
or not. is it not obvious that it is no
lust under present conditions? At al
early date Connecticut tolerated slav
cry, but is that any reason why i
should continue slavery or any othe
injustice?
Please strip the subject from the cen
fusion of words which has obscured j
in the columns of the Register and asl
three simple questions: Is it just am
equitable that the poor taxpayers o
New Haven should pay one-sixteentl
of their taxes to support Yale univer
sity? Second: DO the broad-minde
and generous graduates of Yale univar
sity desire this arrangement to be per
petuated if it is not just? And, third
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1902-12-10

If they do not desire it, is there not
remedy for the injustice, and even II
they do desire it, are there not means
whereby the injustice may be termin-
ated?
! I should be glad to see a statement
to the public from President Hadley, or
some other who is authorized to speak
for Yale university, in answer to these
public questions. If the accredited rep
resentatives of the college say that they
do not desire to have an injustice per-
petuated, then the crumb-pickers and
sycophants who toady to Yale's social
influence will cease to produce ram
bling and ineffective arguments in sup
port of claims which the university
does not desire to make, and they will
cease to put Yale in grasping, selfish
attitude before the public. cannot
! believe that the brOad-minded, progress
sive men of Yale desire that the uni
versity should be represented by such
arguments as have been put forward
by the Register.
The Register has said that the su-
preme court has settled Yale's right for
exemption for "all time" The Supreme
court of the United States settled me
question of the fugitive slave, but it
was not for ''all time" because it was
unjust, and if this is unjust. the Su-
preme court has not settled this for
! ''all time
The Register has spent a great deal
of editorial argument during the year
past in claiming that even constitu-
| tional wrongs might be righted. The
editor of the Register expended good
deal of ink and oratory in efforts to Sc
cure changes in the fundamental law.
It is true that neither editorials nor
oratory were successful in securing a
constitution which hardly any one
thought worth voting for, but the editor
was much more hopeful about securing
changes in the constitution than he
seems to be in finding a possibility of
relief of the poor from taxes to support
the university.
The Register puts forward the argu-
ment that other cities would exempt
Yale from taxation if the university
could be moved. There are plenty of
towns and cities which would exempt
Sargent's and Winchester's factories
from taxation if they were allowed to
do so by law, and with ten times the
reason for doing so that exists in the
case of the university, but, neverthe-
less, we would not approve of such ex-
enption nor do I believe that Winches-
ter's or Sargent's would desire it or ask
iit. TAXPAYER

TWO CITIES ARE
KNOCKED OFF MAP
AN EARTHQUAKE LEAVES TWO
CITIES IN GUATEMALA IN
RUINS AND 500 PERSONS ARE
REPORTED KILLED.

New York, April A.-The three earth
dukes of Friday night reduced to ruins
Quesaltenango, the second city Of impor-
lance in Guatemala, and having $4,000 in
habitants and completely destroyed the
town of Amatitlan, says Guatemala City
(Guatemala) dispatch to the Herald. Both
of these towns were capitals of the de-
partments of the same name each bears.
1t Is reported that 500 persons were
killed in Quesattenango, but the rumor
lacks confirmation. The exact loss of life
cannot now be ascertained. News of the
destruction which extended one hundred
miles along the western part of the repub-
lie. is coming in slowly because all of the
telegraph wires are down.
1t is known that Amatitan exists no
more as a town, the seismic disturbance
having been so great The inhabitants
that Is, those OF the 10000 residents who
escaped death in the oataclysm, camp
ing In the open air for safety, not daring
to return to the ruined confines of the
town. Some of the inhabitants are build
ing temporary huts.
More news has been obtained about the
condition of affairs at Amatitlan than at
Quesaltenango, as the former is only
fifteen miles south Of this city, while the
latter Is more than one hundred miles to
the northwest.
Couriers say earthquake shocks are
still being felt at short intervals in the
neighborhood of Quesaltenango. There
have been serious seismic disturbances
along the Cordillera, affecting towns and
villages between Amatitlan and Quesal-
tenango No reliable information regard
ing loss of life or the extent of property
destruction in these intermediate places
has reached here
Slight disturbances were felt at Guate-
mala City, but no great damage result
