MURDERED HIS FRIEND.
Eighteen Years-old Harry cohn Killed
Walter Owen Yesterday.

w ellISA EOWVh 1CoCC10cty
| Walter Owen, an eighteen-years-old
boy employed by the Winchester Re-
peating Arms company, was shot and
killed in the factory yesterday morning
by the carelessness Of Harry Cohn, a
boy of his own age. An automatic rife
which COIN was pointing at young
owen sent bullet through the lads
head, from which he died half hour
later.
The accident occurred at the shooting
range in the rear of the drying room,
which is enclosed and has a window
looking out into the yard Owen was
tor Perkins, and In passing through the
yard about o'clock in the morning he
stopped at the window to watch the rifle
testing.
COIN is employed in the testing range
to load the rifles for Byron Fields, who
discharges them into a sand bank. Cohn
had just loaded three cartridges into
model &c. repeating rifle, which holds a
dozen bullets, when he noticed Owen
at the window. He drew bead on
him with the partly loaded rifle, either
as joke or to frighten him away. Mr..
Fields saw his helpers careless act,
and called sharply to him to lower the
gun, but Just as he spoke the rife went
off. The bullet crashed through the
window and young Owen dropped with
q cry.
The lad was picked up unconscious be-
meath the window with bullet hole in
his head. The ball had struck him
squarely in the forehead. He was taken
to the New Haven hospital, where he
lived only half an hour. His home was
at 40 Howe street
Cohn lives at Is William streets. He
was arrested by the Dixwell avenue po-
lice and taken at once to the office Of
Coroner Mix, with Mr.. Fields as wit
ness.
The coroner's investigation lasted all
morning at the end Of which he decided
to hold young Cohn in $1,000 bonds on
the charge of criminal carelessness.
The two boys were well acquainted
and on very friendly terms.
| Under instructions from Coroner Mix
the charge against Cohn was last night
changed to that of murder, and he was
/ held without bonds.

Grand Opera House.

"A Desperate Chance" which Mana
gers Forester & Mittenthal are to have
at the Grand opera house the last three
days this week with matinee Saturday,
tells the story OF the Biddle brothers
who figured in one of the bloodiest trag-
edies in the criminal history of this
country. The events occurred few
years ago In the vicinity of Pittsburg,
Fa., and in their consequences shocked
almost the entire civilized world. The
Biddles were notorious thieves. One
night they forced an entrance to a gro
Gerry store in Pittsburg. The proprietor,
in defending his property, lost his life.
An officer was killed in attempting to.
arrest the outlaws. Capture followed
Swiftly, and the Biddles were sentenced
to death and confined to the Pittsburg
Jail. One Of the boys was possessed Of
"a hypnotic power over women. He used
this on the wife os the warden. and
through her obtained weapons and the
means of escape. Gaining the outside
after a battle with the guards, a sleigh
was in waiting to assist them in their
desperate fight. The woman accompar-
led them in the midst of a driving snow
storm, 1t took the officers but a short
time to gain the trail and from that on
there was running battle Of bullets,
during which the Biddles were shot al
most to death. Both died the next day.
The woman was also seriously wounded
and for a time her life was in the bal
|ance. H.. ~.

THE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec. at is expected
by the president that the treaty with
Panama providing for the construction
of the Isthmian Canal will be returned
to Washington within two weeks. The
indications now are that the treaty will
be transmitted to the Senate before the
adjournment of congress for the Christ
mas holidays. It is doubtful, however,
whether consideration of the treaty,
even by the committee on foreign rela-
tions, will begin before the holiday re-
cess. Senator Cullom, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, had con-
ference with the president to-day re-
garding the treaty. He indicated that
serious opposition to ratification of the
treaty would be developed, but express
ed no doubt Of its ultimate ratifica-
ticn.

HARVARD ENTRANCE CHANGE.
New Rule Established About Accepting
Candidates From Other Colleges.

Sanuluhtes FROM OtutT NOueBce'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec l2.-The annual
catalogue of Harvard University, which is
soon to be issued, will contain change
of considerable importance in the rules
regarding admission from other colleges
and some minor changes in the admission
requirements. Previously the rule as to
admission from other colleges has been:
Graduates of other colleges and students
who have completed credtably the work
.of the first two years at other colleges may
be admitted without examination and as
signed to those classes for which their
previous training seems to qualify them.
Every case is decided on its own merits,
but students from other colleges are not
admitted dd eundem without examination. "
The new statement will provide that a
student who has completed the work Of
one year or more at another college may
be admitted to Harvard without examina-
| ton, but for his first year OF residence as a
| special student only. At the end of his
year as a special student he may be trans
| ferred TO regular standing in whatever
| class he is thought fitted to enter, judging
from his work at Harvard together with
| his work elsewhere.
The object of the new rule is to give the
authorities at Harvard better chance
| to pauRe students abilities on
something more than evidence Of previous
work and to make more equitable adi just
ment between the various colleges where
students seek advanced standing here.
The principal change in admission re-
ouirernents is the addition Of music and
counterpoint TO the list of optional studies,
which has already been announced. Some
change will be made in the examinations in
Latin, consisting mostly OF the substitution
of certain prescribed passages announced
for previous study for sight translation.
The change will not affect candidates for
admission until year from next June.

Il shall use all my ability Mr.. Tarkng-
ton is said to have written, "in an effort to
open the eyes OF the people to the great
amount of graft creeping into every form
