ROSE SOUGHT PROTECTION
ITALIAN FLED FROM FEAR OF
 MERIDEN COMRADES.

Nervous and Fearful He Commended
 Himself to Officer welch at Union
 station-Is Thought to Have Struck
 Man at City Hall COrner-stOne Lay-
 ing in Meriden-Had Plenty of Money and Passpert-Possibly Slight
 Iy Dementsd. ,.r
 Michael Ross, or Rose. as he is known in his native city, an Italian from Meriden, came to this city last evening and meeting Officer Welch at IJnton station at about S:25 o'clock has tened to put himself under the police mans protection. The man appeared very nervous and apprehensive, and had g, key in his hand which he want ed to surrender to the officer. He could not talk intelligently in English, but rnuttered something about getting in a lot of trouble in Meriden. Officer Welch escorted him to the central sta- tion for investigation.
 Rose stated through an interpreter that he had gotten into trouble in Mer- < iden and had run away. The key which he wanted to give up belonged Eo the H. Wales Lines company. the Meriden contracting firm, and had the number one on 1t.
 The Meriden police were communi- cated with, and they stated that they knew nothing about the man and had no charge whatever against him. They had heard that after the exercises of of the laying of the cornerstone Of the New Meriden city hall, which were held yesterday afternoon, this Italian had struck another Italian with the fiat of his shovel, but they had receiv- ed no complaint.
 MT. Lines of the H. Wales Lines Co. was communicated with, and he said that the Italian was a good workman, and that he believed that he had gone away while drunk, or else was lit- tie dernented. He desired the police to hold him here until his friends could look after him and take him back to. Meriden.
 The man was not drunk when brought into the station, and the po- lice did not much credit the idea that the man was insane. They believe that he struck fellow laborer at the cor nerstone laying. and fearing that he was hurt more than he actually was. and that the Italian friends of the at- tackled man would lay for him.. fled in. terror and took a train for this city to escape the supposed Nemesis.
 Besides the key which he seemed so, desirous of giving up Rose had $6f.55 tn money, $50 of it done up in paper in- side a great red bandanna handker-, chief. and an Italian passport issued under King Hun1bert I. ,4F@#
 Rose was detained at police head quarters to await the arrival of friends interested in his welfare. No charge was entered against him, but 1t seemed a wise precaution to detain him for his own safety as 1t was suggested that he was slightly demented and had att tempted suicide in. Meriden and might meet with some mishaD if allowed to wander at large. M

 6-Upon ratification by a majority of the general committee these rules shall become the official rules for the ensu- ing year. :, The proposition, it is understood, was fayorably received by the members of the old committee, and after a brief discussion the new committee retired, and awaited the decision of the origin al committee.

 Tt was the intention of the. original Football Rules committee to take up the suggestions made by it's members at a meeting held here three weeks ago, but the programme was disar- ranged by the action yesterday of the New York conference. There was much interest manifest as to what sugges- tions Harvard had to offer In the way of reform rules because of the confer ence MT. Reid had with President Roosevelt.
 Harvard is the only institution rep resentedson the old committee that has not yet presented its ideas for eliminat- ing the, objectionable features of the game. Whether Mir. Reid was prepar- ed present his suggestion is not known.
 Paul Dashiel said tonight that the members of the old committee, owing to the attacks made on the committee, had received specific instructions from their respective institutions, and that whatever new rules were formulated were to be followed by the institutions represented on the committee. He said the committee did not assuneto legislate for all the institutions of the coun- try. Institutions not represented on the committee, he said, did not have to follow the rules the old committee made.

 Motorman Callahan was the next wit ness, and then were the surprises forth4 coming, He was shown the accident report supposed to bear his signature, and declared emphatically thatfit was not his signature, that he did not sign it, that he had never read, the paper, and did not know what was on it, and had never seen the charges. He fur ther denied having heard anything of the disturbance, orethe alleged insult ing remarks, and when asked if the conductor had called lis attention to the occurrence before he left his car f for the night, he answered no. '5fn k
 General Manager Harlan testified to having had !, Mahon make out the charges, when he insisted on having the matter attended to. He said that he had asked Mahon if the motorman saw the incident, and upon an affirmative response had Instructed him to get the tnotorman's signature, It appears
 
 Chief FancIler Callahan had said that it was his name. Last night he ad- lnitted that he said 1t was his name, but not his signature, When queried eas, to why he had, not Informed the chief he said he thought the matter had gone too far. .
 There was a lively passage, between AI nd the signature. It was later practically acknowledged by the conductor that he signed the motorman's narnes but un- der the latter's perrlissiop, which the motorman declared he did not give.
 Manager Harlan went 4tosthe Consoli- dated railway office for an official copy, of Callahan's signature for comparison. butsafter this statement 1t was of littlel service. ., / The last witness was the accused: fireman himself. He declared that he had used no abusive language what ever, When the conductor refused him the transfer he said that he told the conductor that it was, not neces- sary for him to get thick about 1t. The word thick, he declared, was the worst word he used. to the conductor. j
 Then out of clear sky came another startling statement. Fireman Sheehan declared that he had pleaded with the chief not to bring the charges before the board because he had been inform ed that there were three of the oom- n1issioners who were very desirous of degrading him. Asked by Commission CT Pearce if the board was to. under stand him that the chief had so in- formed him, he answered yes. ....

 Manager Harlan considered it, very strange that the ir1otorman'i did not hear the disturbance on the car. When asked last evening if both of the men were still in the employ of the road he answered that they were .despitei statements to the contrary.
