Miss Barrows enjoys an enviable repu-
tation hereabout as a vocalist or ad-
mirable voice and presence. Her songs
last evening were most happily chosen
and delightfully."- sung. Miss Larry Is
violiniste whose ability needs no exploita-
ton before Providence concertgoers. Her
work last evening betrayed rare tonal
depth and sympathy, charmingly com
bned with technical brilliancy
Miss Mansir, as soloist and accompanist,
contributed largely TO the success OF the
concert. Her solo numbers were charac-
terized by marked sharpness and clean
ness of technique and a musicianly re-
gard for melodic values and quality of
tone. AS an accompanist she was most
artistic.
DR.. Raia is we'll known to Providence
concertgoers and his appearance is al
ways gladly heralded. The doctor played
with his usual clean-cut style and artistic
restraint.
Mr.. Hope sang acceptably. Mr.. Wat
sons readings lacked in that delicacy
of finish which is always the chief charm
Of the elocutionist, but his work prom
lses further achievement and was well
received by a most enthusiastic audi
ence.
The artists disposed of comment upon
the audience seems in order. 1t was es-
sentialy a heated restless audience, suf-
| fering with an acute attack OF the ap-
plause fever which led 1t TO indulge in
bursts of effusive appreciation OF ag-
gravating persistency. II is gratifying

PRESIDENT
OF YALE IN
A FIGHT

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 15-In a rough
and ready scrimmage between President
Arthur T. Hadley OF Yale and Charles u.
Porter, who. said he was from Denver,
Col, In the presidents office IN Wood
bridge hall this morning, President Had
ley came out victorious and landed his
visitor in the police station.
The tussle was so fierce that the prest-
dent could not enter a complaint against
the man until he had recovered from the
first effects, while Porter after the fray
had to be supported by two policemen.
Porter arrived here yesterday morning
presumably from Milford, and paid his
.ast dollar 10 ride in a coupe to President
Hadley's office. He was shown into the
latter's private office, where he explain
ed that he came from Denver. Col. that
his father was a prominent Yale man and
that he was financially embarrassed
Very politely he requested the presi-
dent TO pay his railroad fare to Syracuse.
N. Y, where he said that ample funds
were awaiting his coming.
After questioning his visitor at some
length concerning his fathers class In
college and his personal history. the
president excused himself from his visit
or for moment and telephoned to the
police station for a detective.
MAY BE PROFESSIONAL.
Detective Dennehy was hurriedly dis
patched toward Woodbridge hall. but he
had scarcely received his Instructions
when n second telephone call came in.
You had better send two officers; tina
man weighs $50 pounds and he is trying
to escape"
When the detectives reached the office
they found a general mfx-up, in which
were President Hadley, the stranger and
two Yale undergraduates. President Had
ley was against the door trying with the

inside the office. The latter was using
his $50 pounds in a frantic effort to get
out.
At the police station when he had re-
covered from the combat with the head
OF Yale university Porter told substan-
TALLY the same story as he had related
to President Hadley and showed his finan-
cial resouces TO amount to just ten cents
10 substantiate his claim that he needed
help from the university.
Several letters addressed TO Mrs. Emma
F. Porter, 20 Ruggles street, Roxbury,
Mass, were found on him. but he insist
ed that his wife was at present in Den
yer. A postoffice order requesting his
mail to be sent to Milford in care OF
r. S. Baldwin was among his effects, as
were papers showing that he was vet
eran of the Civil War. having served in
the Eighth Missouri.
These papers also showed that he had
received pension OF IS month until
few months ago, when 1t was stopped.
His application TO have IL renewed had
not been successful, as far as could be
learned. The last payment was made
at Los Angeles. Cal
The police believe that they have a
professional crook who has been work
ing his game successfully all over tha
country.

did not appear TO be an ordinary crimi-
