 After Meeting of Board of Directors
 Subscribers to be Released if They

 New York, Nov. 29.-The following statement was issued to-day from the office of the president of the Erie rail- road, after a meeting of the board of directors:
 Tt having appeared that the board of directors of the Erie Railroad com pany that under existing conditions the purchase of the common stock of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Rail road company might involve obliga- tions on the part of the Erie company, interfering with the future development of it's own railroad, the board of direc- tors to-day voted unanimously to &C., cept the offer of J. P. Morgan, himself to assume and complete that purchase on his own account, thus relieving the Erie railroad from all costs, charges and contracts in the matter.
 ''The Erie board voted further to proceed with the sale of it's SIP, 1000, 900 convertible bonds as heretofore author ized, the proceeds to be used as au- thorized under the general mortgage of 1903 in the improvement of and exten- sion to it's road.

 DEFENSE OF DR. M'LEOD
WILL TRY TO SHOW HUNT DIS
 MEMBERED BODY.

To be Admitted That He Performed the Operation Known as LaparOtOmy, but Only i'm Attempt to Save Susan Geary's I.ife-Hunt Will be Charged
 With Being the Greatest Criminal of
 the Age.
 Boston, Mass, Nov. 29.-Counsel for Dr. Percy D. Mcleod, now being tried in the superior criminal court on a charge of being accessory to an illegal operation on Miss Susanna A. Geary, the dress suit case victim, stated at the opening of the defense to-day that an attempt would be made to show that it was William F. Hunt who dismember- ed the body of the girl, as we'll as as sisting in disposing of the different parts by dropping them in suit cases in the harbor.- Attorney Charles H. Innes, who began the defense of the ac- cused physician after the government had rested also stated that it would be admitted that Dr. Mcleod performed the operation known as laparotomy upon the girl, but that he did so to save her life MT. Innes accused Hunt, who yesterday was a witness for the government, of being the greatest crim- inal of the age by the manner in which, Mr. Innes claimed, he disposed of the bodies of infants, while in Philadelphia. MT. Innes further declared in his open ing remarks that operations such as was performed by Dr. Mcleod were necessary and that masks were used by some physicians, not as disguise, but to guard against infection.
 The government closed it's side with the testimony of Dr. John H. Pettee, who assisted Dr. Mcleod in the lapa- rotomy operation. Dr. Petter admitted that he was a friend of the accused physician, but said that he advised him to send the girl to the city hospital.
 He also admitted being a frequent visitor to the office of Mrs. Dr. Bishop, where, it is claimed, the illegal opera tion which was the primary cause of Miss Geary's death was performed.
 After MT. Innes had finished his opening remarks twenty-fie witnesses for the defense were sworn.
 Several witnesses testified that they called at the office of Dr. Mcleod on September 19, the day it is claimed that Miss Geafy's body was dismembered. They said they saw the doctor at his office and that he did not appear ner- vous.
 The defense then turned it's attention to the character of Hunt by calling William Stanford, a Philadelphia de- tective, who testified to seeing Hunt frequently in that city, where, he said, Hunt was known as Dr. Roberts. He heard Hunt say one time that he (Hunt) was a doctor and an undertaken and that there were always dress-suit cases handy and the Delaware river near by.
 The last witness of the day, Mrs. Grace Ashmead Stanford, wife of the detective. was relating what Hunt told her of the disposal of the bodies of in- fants, when court adjourned until Fri day.

AGAINST ABoLISHIAG GAME.
President Faunce of Brown Hopes it
 May be Purged and Saved.

Iay be Purged and Saved. Providence, Nov. 29.-In discussing the uses and abuses of football tonight President W. H. P. Faunce, of Brown university, stated that he did not be- lieve it yet necessary to abolish auto mobiles, horses, fraternities or football, all Of which, he claimed, had brought about fatalities. He thought that the real damage from football came from the incapacitating of the squad from serious study, the instructions of pugil- ism by the coachers and gambling on the results of the contests. He believed that no other sport so quickens college loyalty.
 T cannot speak for my faculty" said President Faunce, but I shall bring the matter before them next week. In general, think those teachers and stu dents most familiar with football would be the most sorry to lose it. In college life there is no sport that so quickens the social consciousness of the college. l do not despair of saving the same by purging it of its patent and intolerable abuses"

ANOTHER STATEMENT
 ISSUED AT COLUMBIA
MR. CAMP NOR HIS COMMITTEE CAN CHANGE DE-
 CISION

Football Must Go Despite Any PrOeeed-
 ings on Their Part-TFuth of Matter
 is Fhat Worst Features of Game Are
 Such as No Revision of Rules Can
 TOuch-It at Present Posters a Dis
 honest and UnsportsmanIike Spirit
 President Summons Reid to White
 House for Conference.
 New York, Nov. 29.-To dispose of ru- mcrs that the action of the Columbia university faculty committee on under graduate organizations in abolishing football at Columbia was taken merely to force the rules committee to reform the game, and that the game may be revived at Columbia when such a re- suit is attained, Dean Cctrs~. w. Kitch- Wey, of the Columbia University Law school, made the following statement to-day:
 The action of the faculty as I un- derstand it, is not aimed at association football CT the so-called Rugby game, but at the game of football as it now exists in our American colleges. But this statement is not to be taken to mean that the action of the committee was taken in order to force reforms on the rules committee. There is no req son to believe that the committee or that the football element in our col leges has any conception of the disre- spect into which this game has fallen, and no reason, therefore, to hope for a revision of the rules that will have any material influence on the game. But the truth is that the worst features of the game are such as no revision of the rules will touch-the dishonest and un- 9portsmanlike spirit which the game at present fosters.
 When any game reaches the point when it needs to be hedged about with stringent rules to prevent the young gentlemen in our colleges from resort ing to trickery and dishonesty in their college sports, it is vain to look to any reform of the rules of the game for re- lief from it's evils.
 For these reasons it does not seem to me that the action taken by the fac ulty committee yesterday is likely to be affected by any subsequent proceedings on the part of Walter Camp and his committee"
 While it is generally conceded at Co., lumbia, even among football men, that the game has been killed, a mass meet ing of students has been called for next Tuesday by the student board of repre- sentatives to ascertain the real senti- ment of the students on the question, and, if it be against the recent action of the committee, to submit a petition to President Butler.

Meriwether testified as follows:
 "The first time had seen MT. Branch was September 1, 1904. l was on the Santee and MT. Branch was put there for misconduct. He made himself gen. erally unpleasant to me during the four days he was there."
 While on the Hartford at Newport News some fruit was being brought to the ship. Witness, Branch and many others were helping themselves to fruit. Branch told him to turn it. Witness said, Go to he'll" Branch made a re- port of insubordination, disrespect and not turning in promptly.
