Yale and Harvard Teams Go Through
Final Practice.

New Haven, Conn.,, November IL
The Yale football team was put
thorugh a stiff scrimmage this after
noon with the substitutes and came out
of it in excellent shape. 1t was hardly
expected nat the men would line again
before the Harvard game, and when
the gates were thrown open to the pub
lie, the large crowd of spectators were
surprised when they saw the two teams
battling on the Varsity ten yard line.
Down at the Pequot club house at
Norris Cove where the Harvard team
is Quartered, there was an air of busi-
ness this afternoon when late in the
Gay the Varsity was given a long sig
nal practice. None of the men showed
any signs of physical defects and they
ran through the signals in fast order.

vile.

Washington, November 1.-THE
board of trustees of the Catholic Uni

trustees regarding the Marquis de Men
stierS letter.
statement regarding the affairs of the
university, a resolution having been
adopted by the trustees to thai effect.
A more formal one will be issued in
the near future to the Catholic public.
The preliminary statement authorized
tonight is as follows:
Tho board of trustees takes this oc-
casion to thank all those who contribu-
ted so generously in the past year for
the support of the university, and
thereby exhibited their desire to cor
respond to the wishes of the Pope. The
collection last year amounted to over
sos, 000- Out of this amount and other
contributions the university was able
to pay off it's floating debt, which
I! amounted to SOS, 743. and to pay current
expenses, as well as to invest $50, 600.
In addition to this 5000 o was contrib
uted by the knights of Columbus to
foun the chair Of American History.
mo money was placed in the hands
of Mr.. Waggaman since April, 1903
an therefore no part of this 100000 is
involved in the bankruptcy proceed
ings brought against him..
1.-The annual collection for the uni
! versity is set for the first Sunday IN
Advent. which this year will be Novem-
Der q.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Mr.. Roosevelt Devoting Considerable
Time to Its PreparatioH-Wm Not
Discuss the Tariff.

Washington. November 1.-THE Pres
ident is devoting considerable time
each day to work on his message.
While he has considered with the
members of this cabinet and with soma
members of congress the subject of re-
vision OF h tariff, the consideration
thus far given the matter has not
been of a serious nature. 1t can be
said authoritatively hat he will not
discuss the subject in his message.
The concensus of opinion, as express
ed to the President is that, if the tariff
is to be revised, the work should be
taken up at an early date; but thus
far no decision has been reached in re-
gard to the matter, and none will he
reached until the President a had
opportunity thoroughly to discuss the
subject with members of congress
generally.

New York, November 17.-With Jour
of the twelve men who are to decide
her fate already selected, the trial Of
Nan Patterson, the former show girl
Young, the wealthy horseman, was
continued in the Criminal branch of the
Supreme court today. The greatest
care has been used in the examination
of talesmen and the exhaustive ques
tioning and almost indiscriminate chai-
denying for even the slightest cause, in
dictated that the panel of 100 talesmen
might be exhausted before the task was
finished.
Miss Patterson seemed in very good
spirits when she entered the court room
today, and a brief chat with her coun-
sci before the trial was resumed added
TO her apparent cheerfulness. Mr.. Levy
informed the defendant that the morn
ing mail mad brought him a letter which
might have an important bearing on

The defendants father, J. Randolph
Patterson, of Washington, was in the
court room early and occupied a seat
near his daughter within the bar en-
closure.
John Millin, who was Caesar Young's
racing partner and who, it is UNDER
stood will be one of the principal wit
nesseS for prosecution, was ordered to
sit in the rear of the court room upon
request of the prisoner. Millin had a
seat near the bar enclosure and a
been watching Miss Patterson closely
for some time when she asked that he
be removed away from the rail. AS Mr..
Millin passed the defendant in going
to the rear of the court room she shrank
back upon her fathers shoulder.
An y witness to the shooting OF
Young was discovered in a most unu>
ual way today while the trial was in
progress. Archibald j. c. Anderson,
one of the men summoned for examina-
ton as to his qualifications to serve en-
the jury, was being questioned by AS
sistant District Attorney Rand when lie
asked permission to speak with Judge
Davis, who is presiding at the trial.
After a whispered conversation, coun
sci for the prosecution and defense were
called to the bench and a ONE later
Anderson vas excused and Joined coun-
sci for the prisoner within the bar en-
closure.
Daniel J. O'Reilly, one of Miss Patter-
sons attorneys. said that an eye wit
ness to the shooting had been discov-
cred. Information to this effect had
been communicated to Justice Davis
by Anderson.
When court adjourned seven Jurors
had been accepted.

$500, 600 LOSSES.
What New York Department Stores
Have Lost Through Shop-Lifters.

New York, November 17.-Losses of
half a million dollars through shop lift
ing has been suffered during the past
year by twenty one department stores
in this city, whose proprietors because
of such losses have formed an alliance
to fight petty pilfering. The fact that
such an alliance has been formed came
cut today when a woman was given a
fifteen day sentence in the court of gen.
eral sessions after having pleaded gull
ty to a charge Of stealing goods valned
at S5.04 from a department store.
Hitherto h storekeepers have been
willing to let Offenders off with a fine,
and the court as a rule has acted ac-
c~ordingly. Before sentence was impos-
ed to day the attorney who had prose-
cuted the cas- sai hat his law firm
had been retained by an alliance OF
twenty-one department stores to prose-
cute every case of shoplifting.
The snoplifting evil as become SO
great" said he. owing to the leniency
of justice of special sessions hat it is
a very serious matter to the firms con-
cerned. During the past year the losses
through shoplifting t the twenty-one
firms in this alliance which I represent
have amounted to $500. oo0."

A~SPHYXIATED BY GAS.
Four Men Loose their Lives from Eff
fects OF Gas Escaping from n Broken
Valve.

New York, Nov. 17.-Four. men were
asphyxiated by gas at Dover, N. J.. to-
day at the plant of the Dover, Rocka-
way and Port Dram Gas Company.
They constituted the entire working
force OF the place, and were discovered
by George z. Bunnell, a former en-
ployee, who on visiting the plant found
it apparently deserted with engines
running IND a full head of steam and
scarcely any water in the boilers. A.
ter shutting down the engines and at
tending to the boilers, Bunnell went
through the works and found the four
men beneath an open trap oor in the
meter room, with the space under the
floor filled with gas from a broken
valve in the drip pipe.
The men were William Bulmer, IL
years of age, employed as a fireman;
Elias Chamberlain. the engineer; Otto
Fidschuma, painter and a man known
only as Gustave, also painter.
The men lay together in a heap, Ind
BunnelI noticing hat the man ON top
was alive, entered the trap to rescue
him, but became so weakened by the
gas that he could not lift the body to
the floor, four feet above, and was
barely able TO get out himself Ha
staggered outside but was unable 10
attract any ones attention n it was
some time before he recovered Suffi-
GENTLY to phone for assistance.
When help finally arrived and the gas
was turned off so the men could be
taken out, all four were dead.
From heir position it is thought that
Bulmer went through the trap first to
fix the broken valve n was overcome
by the a n that in an effort ar
rescue. Chamberlain, Eidschum and
.Gustave followed, and lost their lives.
