 Drunkenness in Vermont.

Washington, Dec. 9.--The eighth na- tional convention of the American Anti Saloon league opened here to-day and will continue until Friday night, Rev. Dr. Luther B. Wilson of this city pre- siding. Reports were made by Rev. T. M. Hare, state superintendent for Wis consin; Theodore Alvord, for West vir- gInia; Rev. J. C. Thoms, for Washing ton; Rev. MT. West, for Virginia; Revs. Wood and Morrow, for Vermont; Rev. Dr. Foulke, for Tennessee, and Rev. Dr. Young for Kentucky. The last named said that while whiskey was well established as a beverage in Kentucky, the anti-saloon movement and the Christian church in that state were be- coming mobilized and '"the time would soon come when the last stand would be taken by the saloon"
 The Vermont delegates reported an increase of drunkenness following the recent return to high license there but announced that they were preparing for a more active campaign. The delegates accepted an invitation to call on Presi- dent Roosevelt tomorrow.

Harvard Does Not Consider That Tech
 ntcaiiy He Is to Receive Pay.
 Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 9.-A discus sion having arisen on the question whether F. D. Colson of Cornell, who is to coach the Harvard varsity crew next year, is to receive remuneration for his services. Professor H. s. White, chair man of the Harvard athletic committed, published letter to-day in the Har-l yard Bulletin bearing on the subject. Professor White. says that while MT. Colson is not technically to receive any pay for his services as coach, the conn mittee considers it suitable to make good to him any loss of income incurred by the temporary surrender of his work at Cornell, as well as any extra ex- pense Involved in the trip.
 < In an editorial in the same issue the Bulletin declares the appointment is really the employment of profession al. 5 >,t. =..z.
 "All that the Bulletin has to say" an- nounces the paper, Ifs that in it's judg- rnent it is step in the wrong direc- tion. It believes that strictly amateur coaching should be the only kind used"
 The Bulletin adds that MT. Colson is not professional in the sense that MT. Courtney is at Cornell or MT. Kennedy is at Yale.

MESSIAH SUPERBLY GIVEN
INSPIRING SCENE AT W0oLsEY
 HALL LAST NIGHT.

Grestest Musical Treat Ever in New
 Haven-Moat Aaspioious Debut of
 New Oratorio society-Uhorus Work
 ths Best Ever Heard in che city-Ths
 soioista We'll Received.
 Under the most favorable auspices the New Haven oratorio society was last night ushered into public existence and by the excellence of it's work dem- onstrated beyond any possible doubt that this city can boast of singing organization which, from the enthusi- astic reception accorded it, attained at a single bound the high plane of similar societies in the greater musical centers of the country. Without exaggeration the rendition of Handels great Mes siah" in the superb Woolsey hall, with accompaniments of the New Haven Symphony orchestra and the wonderful .Newberry organ, all under the direction of Professor Horatio Parker, was by
 
 New Haven, and 1t is doubtful if this glorious work was ever better given.
 The performance marked the begin ming of a brilliant epoch in the musical activity of Town and Gown Never before in the history of New Haven has an oratorio been properly given. No matter how large the orchestra is, ar1 oTatorio needs. iii addition, a solid foundation to rest on. And this the New Haven society had in the New berry organ. The acoustics of the hall have been found adequate for instru-5 mental work, and last nights concert proved it's appropriateness for choral work.
 Never before in New Haven has an oratorio evoked such continued and hearty applause as last nights rendi- ton. The chorus has been under care-5 full drill for the past few weeks and is remarkably well balanced one. The fortunate part Is that the tenors are especially good, feature which is gen. erally lacking in choruses. The attacks were sharp and unanimous. Dr. Park CTS insistence for clear enunciation by his chorus was 8 marked and accept- able feature. The using of the harpsi- chord for the recitatives was an inno- vation and a pretty, spectacular effect, and while in keeping with the age in which the music was written, it is somewhat too anticipated for present- day use
 While two of the soloists were un- known to New Haven fcholas Douty, of New York, tenor, and Miss Janet Spencer, of Philadelphia, contralto- they will be long remembered and glad Iy welcomed on future occasions. Mrs.

AMERICAN FORESTRY ASsO,N.
Meeting II ssa.hington-Fregrs.. a1 Movement ana Plans.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson presided at the opening session of the American For estry association to-day. The report of the directors indicated substantial advance in the forestry movement. The report renewed the recommendation for a consolidation of all the forestry work of the government, to be placed under the bureau of forestry of the agricuI- tural department. and reported prog ress in harmonizing state forestry leg islation. 5
 It is expected that the association will frame a general law for presenta- tion to state legislatures looking to some form of tax exemption or post ponement to encourage conservative cutting of forests. Affiliation of state forest organizations with the national body and the advisory cooperation of the association in the management of national forest reserves are urged. The membership of the association is 2,1O7, over 67s0O0 acres of private forest lands are under the supervision of the bureau of forestry, and the total area now in national forest reserves is over S, 900 acres.
 A resolution was adopted declaring that the association lend it's best efforts to the creation Of the southern Appal- achian national forest reserve, endors- ing a forest reserve In the White Moun- tains; advocating an appropriation of $500,G00 by congress for construction and improvement of roads and trails in existing reserves; legislation to prevent mineral entries for other purposes than the development of mineral resources; that exchanges of lands under the lieu land laws be confined to lands of equal or similar value; the repeal of the tim Der and stone act, and legislation to sell timber growing on the public lands when such sale shall be for the public welfare.
 The committee on nominations rec commended Secretary Wilson for presi- dent of the association; Dr. B. E. Fer now, of New York, vice-president; F.. A. Bowers, of Connecticut, secretary, and Otto Luebhart, of the District of Columbia, treasurer. .

ATTACKED FRoM AMBUsH.
Mon Are Growing Desperate Over Coio-
 ratso strike

Trinidad, Col. Dec. 9.--While a num- Der of deputies and clerks were driving from Berwind to Tobaseo this afternoon they were fired upon by several men, hid behind rocks and bush. The depu- ties and clerks jumped from the wagon and returned the fire. The shooting continued at intervals for thirty minutes, though no one was injured. Sheriff Clark and posse were preparing to leave for the scene on special train when word was received that rein forcements of guards had arrived from Tobasco, half mile away, and the am- bush party fled. ss -
 No arrests were made. The trouble is said to have originated this morning when miner came into the mine office at Berwind and became very abusive. He was knocked out by deputy, and 1t is thought that he stirred up his friends to start the difficulty. The double funeral of Velano and Band, the miners killed by the guards in the bat tie at Segundo Monday night, will be held in Trinidad from the Catholic church tomorrow afternoon under the auspices of the miners union. This be- ing the first blood shed since the strike began, great preparations are being made for a demonstration. Over 1000 union miners are expected to march in the funeral parade. The relations be- tween the miners and regulars at Se- gundi are still strained and trouble is expected there at any time.

FEVER CITY ASKS HELP.
BUTLER, PA., ISSUES APPEAL TO
 AMERICAN PUBLIC.
Wants sIoO.OOO More Co stamp out Typhoid Epidemie-A Seeming Re- crudescencs of the DIseass-TSelve New Cases and Three More Deaths Yesterday.

Butler, Pa, Dec. s.--The fever situa- tion seems more discouraging in Butler this evening than it has been during the past four or five days. Three deaths occurred and twelve new cases were reported. A new feature in the fever situation and one which is causing great alarm among those who have knowledge of it is the report that there are four or five cases of typhoid fever at Greece City, ten miles north of Butler, on that branch of the creek on which the Boydstown storage dam is located. The state board of health officer will in- yestigate and if there is any possibility of future pollution from this source, the danger will be promptly removed and heroic methods will be used if neces- sary. The Torn Run dam, which now supplies the city, is on different branch of the creek and will not be af- fected by the Greece City cases.
 Dr. Salem Heilman, the supreme med- ical examiner of the Protected Home circle, has Issued his report concerning the fever epidemic here. The protected home circle has 300 members in Butler, and a number of them are fever victims.
 Dr. Heilman does not hesitate to an nounce that the conditions are deplor- able and tha he is firm in the belief that the infection has not reached it's worst stage. Buffers only hope, he says, lies in complete disinfection.
 Burgess William Kennedy tonight is- sued general appeal to the American public for aid. He wants $100,000 more to stamp out the epidemic and earnest ly urges the support of the people of the United States. The burgess has is sued this appeal after holding the mat ter under advisernent for several days The letter is address to the American public. It reads:
 Tn justice to all in behalf of the bor- ough government and the entire people of Butler, I beg leave to state so far we have been able to help our people without a general call for outside aid. We contributed $S,00O to the relief fund, and outside cities have raised this amount to s16,000. We have been care- fully using this since November 10. Now we are forced to admit our funds are getting low.
 We feel that as a relief for our suf- fering people that their suffering com pels us to issue general appeal for outside assistance. We have been criti- cised in various ways. We wish to as- sure the public that we have been do-

STUDENTS WERE HIS VICTIMS
FORMER HARVARD MAN CON-
 KISSES MANY THEFTs.

Clarence Lee, coiored, Who says He Is the Son of the Late Congressman Lee Goods vaiued at Nearly s2,50o-StoIe Foriy-fiys Football Tickets.
 Boston, Dec. 9.--Clarence Lee, the ne- gro who was arrested at Brockton yes-
 terday, charged by the federal officers with obtaining by forgery registered packages from the mails and by the
 Cambridge police with larceny, to-day |confessed to the lanceny of goods val- ued at nearly s2,500 from Harvard stu dents and from express companies. He said he pried open the students closets
 with a Jimmy. Lee claims that he is s
 son Of ex-Congressman Lee of South
 Carolina and was sent to Harvard col slege to complete his education. After
 attending three or four months he left
 because of the death of his father.
 B9 He was freely admitted to the halls
 and dorinitories of the college, and stat
 ed to-day that he had made g business
 of going to the college grounds each
 day to gather whatever he could When
 asked to separate the goods which the
 police have recovered, he. identified
 more than half of the booty as the
 property of students, and it was neces- sary to use an express wagon to re-
 move the goods to Cambridge.
 The charge made by the federal au- thorities against Lee is that of repre-
 senting another in the obtaining of reg istered letters from the Cambridge post office and thus obtaining forty-fve
 tickets to the Yale-Harvard football game, which were reported stolen.
