 MT. Carroll then stated that if they would not try the man he did not pro- pose to submit his case. He then walk ed into the outer room.
 Commissioner Pierce then said that he thought it advisable to hear the wit nesses. When Mr. Carroll heard this he hurried back to the room and said: You are my witnesses and forbid you to testify" He then left the build ing.
 The following witnesses were then heard in reference ito the matter: Miss Albaugh, superintendent of Grace hos pital: Franklin L. Storey, an inmate of that institution; Dr. M. J. Adams and Dr. ". B. Baldwin. All these wit nesses testified that Mr. Miller was a model patient. That what he did was simply to make himself as kind and thoughtful as possible, and do any little thing that he could to make it pleasant for the sufferers. He did not do any thing that could possibly hurt him, and the doctors stated that he was of such nervous temperament that if he had not done something to occupy his mind he might have gone crazy.
 MT. Carroll had also subpoenaed Chief Fancher as one of his witnesses. When the evidence had all been heard the board went into executive session and afterward stated that they were unanimously in favor of supporting the chiefs verdict and that it was their opinion that MT. Miller was entirely blameless. 5@1, '..

HARVARD DEFEATS YALE.
BOWMAN IS KNOCKED OUT OF
 THE BOX.
Patton Substituted and Cote Batted for Him in the Ninth Inning, but YaIe Could Not stem the Tide of Defeat-The Contest RepIets With Brilliant PIsys-Miss Roosevelt Cheers the Crimson.


 Cambridge, Mass, June IS. - In a game replete with brilliant plays, liar yard won from Yale this afternoon on Soldiers field, to 2, in the presence Of 10000 spectators.
 During the first inning Harvard bat ted out three runs. adding another in the second and batting Bowman of Yale completely out of the box. In the third inning Patton was substituted for Bowman. and after that Harvard se- cured but one run. Clarkson had clearly the advantage in the box, keep ing Yale's hits few and scattered. He was also backed up in fine style by. the Harvard selders.
 In the fourth inning Crittenden of Yale made two-bagger and got third on O'Rourke's hit to short. Matthews threw wild and the runner scored. A beautiful double play, however, by Still man, Coolidge and Carr stopped Yalc's chances for further scoring in that in- ming.
 In the afth Harvard scored another run on Stephenson's single, Matthews double and a line drive by Stillman. Yale scored another run in the seventh as the result of ORourkes hit and a line drive by Barnes. This ended the run getting on both sides. With the score 5 to ? in the ninth inning it look ed to be an even chance for a Yale victory when Clarkson gave a base on balls, followed by two base hits, which landed Yale men on bases. This was with two men out Yale's supporters rose in a body and cheered their team to what looked like sure victory. Clark son. however. steadied down and after three balls had been called struck the third man out, ending the game in Har- wards favor. It was then Harvard s turn to cheer and the undergrad duates went almost wild with delight.
 Miss Alice Roosevelt was an interest ed spectator on the Harvard side and whenever Harvard made clever play she would cheer and wave her Harvard banner. The score:

Under that law, generally conceded to

State ever enjoyed, the Democrats car

technical questions may be raised, and
so many diverse constructions placed,

when they are done with an election,
and whether the result of any election,

REPUBLICANS FAITHFUL TO ELECTION
LAW.

TN \ forceful editorial on the result
of the recent Baltimore Mayoralty
Il Election. the Baltimore News calls
attention to the noticeable fact,
that. during the term of Governor Lown-
des, the Republicans showed themselves
thoroughly faithful to the Election Law,
in letter and spirit. In the very exciting
elections of 1S99-the city election in
the spring. and the general State election
in the fall-the question of fair elections
was completely absent. The question
was who would receive II majority of the
ballots, and when the election was over
it was over. There was no talk OF trick
ballots, or lead-tillrd rings. or queer
paper, or any other lodges for throwing
out votes honestly east. But no sooner
did the old Democratic State and City
organizations" get back into power than
they proceeded to set up in business in
the old line. Rotten elections were their
speciality. and they showed no desire to
give up lhe pra'li'e Oh thelr old probes
sion. At the very earliest possible OPP
portunity they made II concerted assault
on the election law; and, though they did
not do it as much damage as they wished
to, they let themselves in for enough de-
vilment to give them bare majority in
the Legislature of 1902
How much fraud was committed in the
election of Tuesday. May 9th. we do not
pretend to be able to say. What we do
say is that no intelligent person in the
