rect reasoning. Judge Miles represented

election OF {. G. Fits to the attorney gem
eralship, assumed the Craftsmanship OF the
committee on the judiciary Of that body.
He is past middle age IN life.

ton OF Hardwick, Harry Blodgett Of St.

HARVARD SURPRISED EN-.
Yale Had TO Work Her Hardest To
Win Football Game.

The surprise Of the Harvard Yale foot
ball game at Cam bridge Saturday was nc {
that Yale won, but that Harvard put up
such formidable game. In spite OF her
indifferent showing during the season,
and Of Yale's reputed strength, Harvard
proved almost the equal Of her antagonist,
and Aale's only score was made late in
the second half, when a Harvard player
fumbled a Yale man recovered the ball
deep in Harvard territory, and by ire
sistible plunges it was carried across for
a touchdown. The score was to 0. Yale
had to play her hardest, and used many
substitutes to win. Forty-three thousand
people saw the contest.
At Springfield, Mass, before 10000
people, Dartmouth beat Brown p to 6. In
straight football, Brown was superior,
but the quick passing, running and tricks
worked by Dartmouth, with the two
Glaze brothers as stars, counted up more
touchdoWns.
Other games Saturday resulted:-Penn-
sylyania ., Columbia o; West Point IL,
Syracuse 0; Navy u, Virginia p. !. g.;
swarthmore 80, Wesleyan 8 Lafayette So,
Lehigh o.
There still remain to be played two
games OF interest, West Point vs.. Anna
polls academies, and Pennsylvania vs..
Cornell. Among eastern colleges, Yale
has won the leadership again, with Har-
ward, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth close
behind. Amherst, Princeton and Brown
come along next. Carlisle, Williams,
Swarthmore, Lafayette, Virginia p. l.,
West Point, Annapolis, Columbia and
Cornell rank next.
American football is responsible for
nineteen deaths in all this season.

peath Of Mrs. a. 8. Kenney.

Mrs. Caroline (Kathan), wife OF A. h.
Kenney died yesterday morning at the
hospital IN Waterbury TO which she was
taken a month ago. For many years she
had been afflicted with stomach trouble
which grew gradually worse and finally so
affected the broin that death came as q
welcome release from mental unrest and
physical pain.
Mrs. Kenney was born in Randolph,
May IS, 1888, the daughter of Horace and
Melissa Martini kathan. April 10, 1888,
she married A. b. kenney, who, as a mem-
ber OF the sth Vermont regiment, served
his country in the Civil war which broke
out three years later.
Her girlhood and married life was spent
in her native town up to 1854, when she
and her husband removed TO Royalton.
There they continued TO reside until Mr..
kenney bought a house on South Pleas
ant street in this village in which they
had made their home during the last three
years.
She was a very lovahle woman and the
great dependence OF her husband in his
feeble state OF health. Besides Mr. Ken
ney, she left brother and two sisters
Alvan Kathan and Mrs. ID. NJ. English of
Randolph, and Mrs. George Richards OF
Braintree.

More Truth Brought 70 Lleht.

Much Of the testimony at the life insur-
ance investigation the past week has re-
lated TO the financial transactions OF the
COMPANIES through banks and syndieates.
Ii was shown that in several instances the
officials had made enormous profits as
commissions in making loans to con-
Germs IN which they were privately inter-
ested. All the officers were heavily IN
sured themselves, and they secured re-
hates from their premiums, though it was
forbidden BY the rules OF the company to
rive them. More was learned concerning
the sums spent through Hamilton in in
fiuencing legislation. An examination by
experts shows the assets OF the Equitable
to be as claimed. The surplus was scaled
down several millions by a revaluation,
but remains nearly S70,000,0o0.

COURT SAYS "N0"
TO MARY ROGERS.
FEDERAL BENCH LACKS JURIs-
DICTlON IN CASE.

Prisoner Remanded to State Custody
mo Further Move Likely to Save
Her From Execution on Dec. g.
Gov. Bell viii Not Reprieve Again.
Lawyer Finn Still at Work.
Monday, the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States handed down a decision in the
case OF Mary Rogers, the condemned muir
deress. The court decided that il is with
out jurisdiction in the case and affirmed
the decision OF the United States district
court Of Vermont The effect OF the de-
cision viii be again to place the response
bility OF dealing with the case in the
hands OF the state authorities and il in the
meantime neither the governor nor the
state courts take action in Mrs. Rogers
behalf, her execution must occur on the
day set, Dec. g.
In his opinion, Justice Day laid no stress
upon the sex Of Mrs. Rogers, but dealt
with the case upon purely legal grounds
Recting the phases in the case, he took up
the efforts made in the woman's behalf,
holding each in turn to be Ineffective. On
the point that Mrs. Rogers had been held
i'm solitary confinement more than three
months, be said the record does not show
she is so held, though admittedly held in
close confinement. This course was, he
said, within the rights OF the state and
could not be used as a ground for inter-
ference by the federal courts. He also
said the state supreme court could not be
required 20 fix the time for executions that
v neither the state supreme court should
sit in Bennington county Is a matter OF
state practice officially; and also that
there Is no merit in the contention that
fixing the date for execution when grant
ing a reprieve is a violation OF the federal
.ss... 10
cluded with an order that a mandate be
issued at once. This obviates the raising
OF the question Of possible postponement
OF the day OF execution.
OF Mrs Rogers counsel, Attorney Mo-
loney appears discouraged, saying that
only an executive reprieve can now post
pone execution, and that the prisoners
lawyers have paid hundreds OF dollars out
OF their own pockets on her account. At
torney Finn says that the case will be
fought TO the end; that new developments
may occur; and that nothing Will be left
undone TO secure commutation, at least.
Upon being advised of the courts de-
cision, Gov. Bell stated that he stood on
the same ground that he has maintained
heretofore in this case.
II shall not interfere in any way he
said. "with the regular arrangements Tor
the execution OF Mrs. Rogers on the date
set. Dec. s.
Mrs. Rogers was notified OF the courts
decision by her counsel, T.. b. Finn,
Tuesday. She broke down and wept.
When Mr.. Finn told her there was still
one chance that he proposed TO try, she
frightened and told hin TO do so. saying,
"Mhie there is life there is hope"
A request has been sent the prison au-
thorities by an undertaken OF Hoosic rails
y. Y, that the body OF Mary Rogers be
turned over 10 him. IL IS supposed he is
acting in behalf Of her family, who VIII
give the body burial.

MerIwether on court Martial.

Midshipman Minor Meriwether Of
Louisiana is on trial at Annapolis by court
martial on charges that include man
slaughter in causing the death Of Mid
shipman Branch OF New York, resulting
from the recent fight between the two az
the Naval academy. The body of Branch
mas been exhumed and an autopsy held TO
determine whether he died from the blows
received or not. II was the opinion OF the
attending physicians that death resulted
from his head striking on the floor, not
directly from the blows.
