UNIVERSITIES ID TAKE ACTION
They will Try to Prohibit Many
 Plays in Football.

If Managers of Teams Do Not Change
 Rules the Faculty Will Act-The
 Physical We'll Being of the Young
 Men Committed to Their Charge
 Compels Them to Take This Step.
 New York. Dec 29.-It is asserted by persons usually well informed i'll such matters that the intercollegiate foot ball rules committee will have to aDoi- lsh mass plays before the beginning oI the next season, or that, failing esuch action on the part of the committee, the authorities of a number 0f the uni yerisitieS will take such steps that the framers of the rules will be forced to legislate against the close formation method of attack.
 A statement to this effect was made recently by the president of an eastern university and since then it has become known that various college authorities have had considerable correspondence regarding the objections to the present methods of play. and that Chairman Walter Camp of the rules committee has written to the universities regard ing the adyisability of calling meet ing of the committee in January for reSising the rules.
 Those who run the faculty end Of athletics in the colleges are, it is said, just about unanimous for a radical aI- teration of the rules: They say that the physical well being of the young men committed to their charge, if noth- ing else, demands change; that foot ball as it is played to-day has come to be too much contest involving mere brute force, and that the injuries sus- tained in the game now are too serious and too numerous to permit of it's con- tinuance in it's present form.

A FIRE IN WEST HAVEN.
Destroys Building of A. J. Thompson
 the Florist


 New Haven, Dec 29.-Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning fire broke out in frame building i'll the rear of the greenhouses of A. J. Thompson, at 757 Campbell avenue, between Richard and Wharton streets, ill West Haven. Considering the lateness of the hour the firemen responded in creditable time, but when they arrived the flames had made great headway.
 The inf1ammable material and con- tents of the building were quickly con- sumed and the flames reached to great height, lighting up the vicinity for over a mile around. The ringing of the bells awakened almost all the inhabitants of the borough and many went to the scene of the fire.
 The efforts of the fremen were di- rected to saving the fine greenhouses and in this they were successful, but one catching fire, and this being but slightly damaged.

MRS MANSON TALKS.
She Says Her Husband Believes Her
 Innocent and Will Hire Attorney.

lHnocenC ana WIFI Hire Attorney.
 Willimantic, Dec 29.-State's Attor-
 ney John l.. Hunter says that he has
 received word from Dr Wolff of Hart
 ford, who has been making a chemical
 analysis of the stomach and parts of
 the body of Mrs Julia Wilson, that he
 had already found enough poison in
 the body to kill any man, although he had not nearly completed his examin-
 ation. It is. however, likely to be several days before the final results of the examination will be officially announced. It is now known that the coroner and Dr Wolff have been at
 work on the theory that the death of Mrs Wilson was caused by a slow pro- cess of arsenical poisoning, continuous since about the first of July. Dr Wolff found the poison in the stomach alone
 and it is supposed that his reason for
 calling for other parts of the body
 was to determine if the poison had lpermeated her system.
 States Attorney Hunter says that
 both Mrs Manson and George Wilson will be arraigned before a justice of the peace as soon as Dr Wolff makes
 his final report, which he expects will
 be by the middle of the present week They will be charged with murder in
 the first degree and if probable cause is found they will be bound over to the
 March term of the superior court. That
 term of court will be held in Putnam,
 but as this city is more accessible for the witnesses he would ask the court to try the case here.
 Mrs Manson was seen by Coroner Bill few days ago and it is said that i she told him that she did not want the state to furnish her counsel as her husband was able to furnish her a lawyer, as he believed her to be inno- cent States Attorney Hunter stated yesterday that portions of the stomach and other parts of Mrs Wilson's, body would be saved by Dr Wolff for an examination in behalf of the defense and that it was very likely that the state would have to pay the expense of the examination by some expert SC lected by the defense and also for a lawyer to defend Mrs Manson, as he did not believe that Mrs Manson's hus-
 band was able to pay for the examina- tion and a lawyer.
