Each season has Its peouliarWorm OF
accidents. In summer we grow ac-
customed to stories of drownlnes due
to upset boats and too venturesome
swimmers. In the fall there is crop
of fatalities from firearms in the hands
.of careless hunters. and at this season
we read Of accidents TO coasters ana to
skaters who venture on thin ice. NO
body with any spirit wishes to abrldge
these nmusements. but there is always
room Tor rrecaution. Coasting in the
city streets is always dangerous. A
sled sweeping down steep incline
cannot be instantly stopped. and when
it encounters horse and wagon at a
cross street disaster is almost cer-
tain.

INSPECTING AMUSEMENT HALLS.

In an probability City Council win
tonight arrange for thorough inspec-
ton Of our theatres. Doubtless all
amusement halls, and All buildings
where lodge meetings are held viii be
included. We would call particular at
tention to the latter feature. We are
told that in certain Instances lodges
meet in rooms IN the upper stories OF
buildings from which there are the
most dangerous and restricted exits.
II there Is to be an inspection it should
include all buildings where audiences
are likely to assemble with the ex-
ceptlon Of churches.
or course the occasion for this inter-
est was the terrible Chicago disaster.
This should not lead us into doing any
thing hysierical, nor do we believe Il
win have that result but we should
not be deferred frommaking a Thorough
and impartial investigation or from
demanding whatever improvements are
necessary TO public safety
We believe that our theatre mama
gers realize their fun responsibility and
that they viii cooperate with any
committee which shows a disposition
10 be fair, Impartial and conservative.
These managers are IN the midst OF
their season; they are under great ex-
pensei and they must not be forced
10 carry any load that is Unnecessary.
Yet the public safety is everything.
and any reasonable ana sensible pre-
caution when officially pointed out
must be taken. Perhaps am investiga-
tion win reveal degree Of sgfety that
IS now unknown; this would be a
valuable bit of knowledge.

Princeton Defeated Before Splendid
 Audience in Excellent Debate-con-

 of Students Form ImprOmptu Chorus
 -Applause ImpartialIy Bestowed.
 Adding one more to the long list of Yale victories in varied contests with her great rivals the university debating team set the blue of Eli above the colors of old Nassau in a most spirited and en- tertaining debate before nearly aOoo people in Woolsey hall last evening.
 Long before the time set for the de- bate the eager throng of people began to fill the big memorial yestibule. As soon as the doors were thrown open the great auditorium began to fill with the multitude and when the time for the opening of the speaking began the hall was very nearly filled. During the in- terval in which the auditorium was f1ll- ing small group of students in the front of the house organized themselves into an irnpromptu glee club and favor ed the audience ith the strains of
 Bright College Years and "Bingo'
 which were heartily applauded.
 At exactly 8:15 the two teams ap- peared on the platform simultaneously,
 and soon after Judge William K. Town send, who acted as presiding officer, opened the proceedings with the words. HEF01r fho OF .f are unable to read am requested to
 announce that the question for debate this evening is, Resolved. That it should
 be the policy of the United States not to hold territory permanently unless with the purpose that 1t shall ultimately en- joy statehood"
 Arthur Packer McKinstry, 1905, open- ed the debate for Yale. He dWelt upon the advantages of unity and the power of the United States. Our power, he de- clared, has not depended on owing
 single foot of land abroad. Our strength is what We are and the secret of our strength is to be found in our motto.
 E pluribus unum. Every man has an equal part and share in our government and this is achieved by the system of SedtSAOOu. I1e dSkGQ the negative 10
 point out the advantage of empire be-
 fore a change from the present system should be considered.
 Walter Seaman Dawson, 1906. opened for Princeton. He commenced with the statement that nothing could De far- ! ther from the minds of the negative than to advocate empire. They were simply opposed to the idea of declaring any definite future policy concerning the territories. It was absurd, lie rey
 marked, to try to solve the problems and bind the actions of the people of the future. He adopted the Philippines
 as the concrete basis for his argument.
 When the time comes give the Filipi-
 nos statehood if ever they should be lcapable of 1t, or autonomy or indepen-
 dence, in fact do anything which may be just. But there were objections 1 which he cited to making any definite
 statement of our future policy to-day. l Walter Dennis Myers, 1905 resumed l the Yale argument. He quoted Presi- (Continued on Third Page.)

CHANGES IN TRoLLET SERVICE.
Car to Lenve for walIInEfOrd at 11.sO
 p. m.--LIghthouse Cars.

?. m.-LighthOuse Cars.
 The Consolidated Street Railway company last evening announced the following changes in car service: Beginning Monday night. December 12, the last car for Wallingford will be run at 11:3O from the corner of State and Chapel instead of Ii. as at present. This will necessitate emitting the 12 o'clock car returning from Montowese to New Haven, and making the last car from Wallingford to New Haven 12:SO. and the last car from Montowese to New Haven o'clock.
 This is done at the request of Wall- ingford people who desire to go to the theater, and is put on as an experiment up to the first of January, when the management will return to the present schedule if the patronage does not war rant a continuance of this service.
 On Monday on the Lighthouse Point line a forty-eight minute schedule will go into effect for the winter, instead of the twenty-four minute service now in force. The first car will leave State and Chapel streets for the Lighthouse at 6:12 a. m and every forty-eight minutes until Il p. n., and the first car will leave there at 6:06 q. m. and every forty-eight minutes until 11:42 p. m. Sundays the first car will leave State and Chapel street at z a. m. and then the, same as week days, while the first car will leave the Point at TAP a. m. and then also the same as week days.
 On Monday Cliff street cars formerly leaving Kimberly avenue and Boule-s yard at 5:4S a. m. and every twelve minutes will leave there at 5:42 a. m. and every twelve minutes until 12:3O (after midnight). and at 12:45 and at 1 3. m.

ANNEXATION DISCUSSED.
BEFORE THE VEST HAVEN
 BOARD OF TRADE

New Haven Chamber of Commerce Com
 mittee Present--ooionel Osborn, Col
 onel Fox and General Bradley Speak
 -Advantages to West Haven-Public
 Meeting to be Held.
 There was a large assemblage present at the West Haven Board of Trade last evening at which Colonel N. e.. Osborn, Colonel Simeon J. FOX and Gen. eral E. P. Bradley part of the commit tee appointed by the Chamber of Com meree to confer with the West Haven Beard of Trade, were present to discuss and present their views on the subject of annexation.
 Clarence E. Thompson, president of the West Haven Board of Trade pre- sided and opened the meeting by intro- ducing Colonel Fox Colonel Fox said that he felt that for many reasons west Haven should be part of New Haven He said that the majority of West Ha- veners obtain their living in New Ha- ven and that in the summer there was considerable exchanging between the two places. He said that he did not care ito speak further and asked President Thompson to introduce Colonel Osborn. B Colonel Osborn thanked them for the opportunity of speaking before them and said that he only spoke in the most friendly spirit. He began by telling how the town had spread and how New Haven now overlapped the borough. He said that in his opinion annexation was inevitable ad that circumstances brought the two places together over which they had no control. He said that annexation was considerably more to the advantage of West Haven than New Haven. West Haven, he said, was no longer an agricultural community, but an industrial one and that In all ways for the better or for worse they were now a part of the population of New Haven. West Haven, he said, should separate from the town of Or ange as there was but little in common between the people on the hill and the people in the borough. There are sev- eral ways he said by which West Ha- ven could seek release from conditions that were in some ways intolerable. He said that setting Up as an independent town was rather difficult as 1t was not the policy of Connecticut to increase the number of towns and cited Norwalk as an example He said that he did not think that the state would make an ex- ception in the case of West Haven.
 At this point the speaker was inter- rupted by Attorney c. K. Bush who disputed the constitutional correctness of one of Colonel osborn's statements. <
 Continuing Colonel Osborn said that West Haven was dependent upon New Haven and that the boroughites doing business in New Haven contributed to the great general crrent of commercial prosperity. He said that West Haven depended on New Haven even for the light that was being used in the town hall and that the water supply was also

Newton said that before his departure from America. Dr. Chadwick had ten dered him two checks in part payment of his claims against Mrs. Chadwick. He said that he supposed Dr. Chadwick thought the checks would be made good by his wife but that as matter of fact they had proved worthless. These cheeks. he said. had face value of about s5O.000. one being drawn for s25.- GOO and the other for slightly smaller amount.
 On this point he said: Had I not been given sworn statement by Fri Reynolds to the effect that he had in his possession s5.OO0,OOO worth of col- lateral belonging to Mrs. Chadwick, would never have loaned her the money. When the treasurer of a city banking institutian certifies that collateral in his possession is worth stated amount. there is no reason to doubt the genuine ness of his representation. Mir. Newton loaned Mrs. Chadwick s190,0OO.

DESTRUCTION or FLEET.
Japanese stiu Raining Shell on Rus.
 sian Ships.

Tokio, Dec. 9.-Evening. In disabling the Russian fleet at Port Arthur pre- oluding the possibility of it's being able to reinforce the Russian second squad- ron, the Japanese have accomplished the main object of the desperate as- saults against the fortress which they have been making for the last three Hmonths. There is now a strong prob ability that, while continuing the siege, they will avoid losses of the magnitude already attending their efforts and, in- stead of assaulting, will rely on starv- ing out the garrison until it is finally captured.
 The following report dated December s, 10 p. m., has been received from the commander of the naval land batteries in front of Port Arthur:
 Eight shells struck the protected cruiser Pallada to-day and set her on fire, Simultaneously she began to list to port lowering astern. She is deemed unfit for navigation. During the action we discovered the gunboat Giliak to the landward north of the battleship Peres- viet and hombarded her. Eleven of our shells were effective. This vessel Is also demed to be disabled.
 The hits made by our naval and siege guns total 22. The arnored cruis- CT Bayard caught fire at half-past elev- en o'clock this morning, and the fire was not extinguished at 4:15 in the af- ternoon. Evidently the cruiser is seri- ously damaged.
 The results of our bombardment of the battleship Sevastopol, the mine shir (transport) Amur and the transports are notsyet known"
 The above-mentioned hits were made with shells from the heavy guns. Those made by the small shells are not mentioned in the report.
 Another report from the same com mander dated at three o'clock this (Fridayl morning is as follows:
 As the result of our naval gun bonn bardment yesterday (Thursday), the Bayard was hit six times and the Amur Is sinking astern. Our cannonade di- rected against the storehouses and ar senals at the northeast base of Pain Mountain resulted in thirty-six5 hits, causing great damage

Cz4R TO FINISH DIET.
Speaks of Resistance to Ills Deerees---
 Measures of Repression.

Helsinfors. Dec. 9.-The emperor's speech at the opening of the Finnish diet to-day was as follows:
 By convoking you to assemble in ordinary session of the diet I have given new proof of my confidence in the Finnish population. With sorrow, however, I observe that the public tranquility of Finland has been shaken by resistance to my deerees. The past summer was darkened by the murder of the highest representative of inn perial power in Finland. The measures enacted for the suppression of resist ance to the laws which unite the ern- pire and the grand duchy of Finland have only temporary character and will be abolished by me joyfully as soon as the governor general announc- es that cause for these measures has ceased to exist The other laws, such as the imperial manifestos of February 15, 1899, and June 20, 1900. dealing with the use of the Russian language in the Finnish senate, and that of August F. 1901, dealing with military service, will, as regards the main principles, remain in force; but have had new measures frafed for the purpose of limiting the application of these laws, appreciating the remonstrances regarding them by the Finnish senate.
 T pray God to enlighten your minds and bestow His blessing upon your la bors. Nicholas"
