poLIcHMAN's SON K1LLED
Mystery About the Killing of Young
 Reynolds To-Day.

Chicago, Nov 2S.George Rev holds, IS years, old, son of Captain Peter Reynolds, of the St Louis po- lice department, was murdered on a street near the business district of the city today Following the sound of pistol shots, his body was picked up near the sidewalk in an unconscious condition by the driver of newspa- per delivery wagon. Reynolds reviv- ed and gasped "I have been shot in the mouth.'' He then lost conscious ness again, and was carried to a pos lice station where he died as he was being lifted to hospital ambulance. Detectives are working on the theory that a woman is concerned in the young mans death. It was said Rev holds was with young woman short Y before his death.
 Reynolds came to Chicago from St Louis few weeks ago to take DO sition at the Majestic hotel. He re- signed, however, Thanksgiving day, and the hotel management know noth-' ing of him since that time.

The Yale News Gives Further Partic-
 ulars To-Day
 New Haven, Nov 2S.-Further ex- plantations regarding speculation in Yale-Harvard football tickets appear to-day in the columns of the Yale Daily News. 0. Clarke Perkins. 1905, S., in letter addressed to the Yale Football association, says ten tickets which he secured were sold to his landlord at his boarding house for the regular price, $2 apiece, the landlord promising that he would give the tick cts only to personal friends, and that they would not be, used for specula- ton. Perkins says he obtained sevr eral of the tickets from members of his class, including F. w. Kett, whose name has been published. Perkins adds that he has learned now that the landlord. one J. B. Dolan, got $3 for each of the tickets. The letter closes with frank acknowledgement from the writer of his own responsibility in the matter, no blame whatever being attached to the other college men con- scerned The strong sentiment against ticket speculation" he says, lis an ex- cellent thing and have myself had as much feeling against the spectators as anyone"
 An undergraduate writes to the News anonymously, saying that he was in close touch with the ticket distri- button, and defends the action of the management in publishing names. He says this action was in accordance with a warning frequently given and well understood that the men to whom tickets were issued were to be held re- sponsible for the ultimate disposition of them. should they reach the hands of speculators.
 An interesting part of this letter is the statement, "No blacklist has yet appeared Such list is, I believe, now in course of preparation and will be published later. The names al- ready published are merely those of men whose tickets got into the wrong hands,

ST. PAUL AND THE LUCANIA.

The Former Will Have One Hours
 Start on the Lucania-Of Officers of
 Both Lines Deny That There Will
 Be Race and Have Warned the
 Captains Against Crowding on
 Steam.
 New York, Nov 2s Although ths officials of both the American and Gu hard steamship companies make de- nials, it is the belief in shipping cir cles that the steamships St Paul and Lucania will start on race with the mails across to England to-day, Since the American line two weeks ago changed it's sailing day from Wednes- day to Saturday the vessels of the two lines have succeeded in getting the mails to, London at about the same time
 The St Paul will have an hours start of her rival. but this advantage is overcome because of the shorter route travelled by the Cunarder to Liv- erpool. The St Paul has to make Southampton before delivering the mail.
 Much interest is manifested in the race in London. The Cunard line has issued circular warning It's cap- tain against crowding on steam be- yond the usual rate of speed
 The American line carries most of the mail of the United States. It re cefves subsidy from the govern ment The Cunard line is paid by the sack.

NEW MILFORD BANK.
Threatened Run on Institution Did not
 Materialize.

5a < \ l9a !. ! '
 New Milford, Nov 2s. Fears as to the condition of the New Milford Saw ings bank which led to small run on the institution yesterday, had prac- tically subsided to-day, as a result of strong statements of confidence in the soundness of the bank issued byrespon- sible citizens. About twenty deposit ors from New Haven and Bridgeport came to town by the early trains to-day and withdrew their money from the savings bank, but among local de positors the scare was evidently over, and none of them took out their saw ings. On the other hand several de- posits, one of $500, were made.
 One factor in allaying the fears of depositors was the statement of Hon Nicholas Staub, prominent citizen, who went to Danbury yesterday and personally looked over the savings banks securities.

CAPTAIN CARTER RELEASED.
Doors of the Federal Prison
 Opened to Him To-Day.

Met at the Gate By His Uncle and
 Driven Away in a Hack-Tried to
 Avoid Reporters But Said He Would
 Go at Once to See His Mother.
 Leavenworth, Kans., Nov. 2S.-A few minutes before four o'clock this morn ing, Oberlin M. Carter, ex-captain of engineers, walked out of the portals of the federal prison at Fort LeayenS worth a free man. At the gates he was met by his uncle, L. D. Garter, and was immediately driven in a hack to the Union depot in this city. This last movement was a race to throw the newspaper men, whom he wished above all things to avoid, off the track. At the Union station while Carter still staunchly refused to be interviewed as to his plans for the future he said:
 t'I will catch the Missouri Pacific train out of here at 5:14 o'clock to Kansas City and there, after breakfast will take the fast Santa Fe direct to Chicago. I wish to spend Sunday with my mother, who is over anxious to see me''
 While awaiting his train, the ex- army officer conversed freely on a large number of subjects but always skiIlful- ly avoided the introduction of anything iii regard to his conviction or his plans for the future. He spoke at length about the prison, but even then turned the talk from himself to generalities.
 The captain looked much older than when he entered the prison nearly four years ago but showed no trace of ill- health.
 It was thought last night that an officer of the department of justice might be at the prison gates to rear rest Carter on an old indictment, but such was not the case.

A HARMLESS CRANK.
A. B. Deming Creates Scare TOT

 Safety of President.
 NEW YOteIA, NOV. 1o.-As President Roosevelt was leaving the side en- trance of the Church of the Holy Com munion after the Oracle funeral serv- ices a commotion was created by A. B. Deming, harmless crank who vends medicinal charcoal. He pushed past a policeman and thrust long envelope into the presidents hand.
 Den1ing was promptly arrested and taken away.
 It seems strange that despite the fact that 500 uniformed policemen and tine pick of the detective force of the city had been selected as a special guard for President Roosevelt's protection during his visit to this city an old man, unauthorized, reached the side of the president and thrust into his hand a letter. The man, thought to be insane,
 ght have held or even used a weapon Y bout hindrance from the guard.
 So mortified was Commissioner Greene at the failure of his force to safeguard the president that he re- fused to accept the official report of the affair and announced that all the po- licemen concerned, from the captain in charge down, must answer charges for their neglect to do the one thing to which they had been assigned.
 The president, accompanied by Com missioner Greene and MT. Loeb, en- tered his carriage and was driven to the Jersey City ferry. He remained in the private car Colonial until the Wash ington express, to which the car was attached, pulled out at 1:15 p. m, Com missioner Greene being with him near ly all the time
 Police Commissioner Greene and In- spector Brooks were within ten feet of Deming when he handed his letter to MT. Roosevelt. The president took the letter and handed it to William Loeb, his secretary, who in turn gave 1t to In- spector Brooks.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, who was with the president, was yisibly agitated Dem ing, who is an old man with a white beard, shabbily dressed and carrying a large handbag, remained by the church door.
 As the president entered the carriage DAOO&A0 ldhACN lO AJCIC@lASC SCISCd Kinsler and said:
 ''Who gave this letter to the presi- dent?
 Mrs. Roosevelt answered, "That man there." pointing to Deming
 Deming was recognized by the report CTS as the same individual who rallied at J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie from the White Star pier as they were aving for Europe on the Cedric on April A. At that time he called upon them in 8 loud voice to "Flee from the wrath to come"
 Deming's note, written on letter pa per of the Church of the Holy Com munion, was as follows:
 President Roosevelt-It is well to pay homage to the dead, but of greater importance to preserve life. Please read carefully the article on the medi- cinal value of charcoal inclosed. Dr. Stevens, chief physician at the Masonic home at Utica, politely thanked me for leaving him a copy. know 1t will ab- sorb all impurities in the blood, tumors and cancers and prolong Emperor Will liam's"-
