OF Gerald j. O'Keefe, the charge is

clerks employed in October. Two weeks

they had not got receipts for their taxes.

not been credited with having paid their
taxes and that their checks were not

Yale Game.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 21.-The Har-
ward varsity eleven yesterday afternoon
was sent through what was probably the
last scrimmage before the game with
Yale on Saturday, and the rest Of the
week will be given up to light work.
After preliminary signal practice yes
terday, the varsity was given hard
twenty-five minute scrimmage, during
which three touchdowns We're scored
against the second eleven. The varsity
however, were unable to prevent the Sc
eond team from carrying the ball twice
over the line from the iifteen-yard line,
where the second team had been given
the ball.
Captain Hurley, Foster, Parker, Leary
and Brill were in the signal practice, but
did not participate in the scrimmage.
The lineup for the hard work for the
afternoon was as follows Left end, Sny-
der; left tackle, Montgomery; left guard,
Burr; center, White; right guard, Kors-
berg; right tackle, Squires; right end,
Knowlton; quarterback, Starr; left half
back, Leonard; right halfback, Wendell;
fullback, Carr.

a Case for the Road Commissioner.

Up on the Somerset road in Searsbtrg
there is long, wide, and deep slough
in the roadway. 1t is the special de-
light of teamsters and drivers who have
to navigate through it. One teamster
remarked a few days ago that anybody
its passage needed conn
pass and suit of sails on his wagon. Re-
Gently there appeared upon the banks
of this division OF the earth's waters
a board sign with the following inscrip-
ton:
"All persons are forbidden fishing in
the road
Whether or not the signature was
genuine does not appear, but anyway
the sign evidently Jared somebody's
sensibilities and it was stealthily re-
moved the other day. The cold weather,
if it holds, viii probably render the in
land sea passable for the season. Next
spring, however, persons passing that
way will need life preseryers.

PROFIT ON HIS
OWN POLICIES
Tarbell Accepted Commits
siOns on Thousands.
BELIEVES THIS IS PROPER
Tells Story Of Business Trips With
Family Parties and Free Trans
portation-T Talks of Elk
travagance.
BELIEVES THIS IS PROPER

New York, Nov. Gage 'E. Tarbcll.
second vice president Of the Equitable,
admitted as a witness before the legis-
lative investigating committee that he
had taken out two policies Of $780,
600 each since becoming an officer of
the Equitable, and that he had taken
for himself in each case all OF the agents
commission ON the first business and on
the renewals.
Asked by Assemblyman Cox if he
did not consider that relating the
witness in loud tone declared he did
not consider it so, aud believed he was
justified in taking commissions on in
surance upon his own life taken out in
the company Of which he was an officer.
Witness testified further that he had
taken out life insurance in the New
York Life, the Travellers and the Aetna.
His policy in the New York Life amount
ed, he said, to $4,000. and on this in
sltrance he had drawn commission. He
added that he had made the arrange
ments in the New York Life with George
M. Perkins.
In response to further questions Mr.
Tarbell said he believed it was the GUS
tom for officers Of life insurance COM
panies to take commission whenever they
insured their own lives.
Mr.. Tarbell, in an aggressive manner,
testified that he had taken out total
OF $39s,47O in life insurance in the
Equitable, including the two policies Of
100000 each, since he became an officer.
One Of these policies had been written
through Eisley & King, general agents
Of Newark. He had taken all the cons
mission on this business, and had taken
and was taking renewal commissions.
The other policy was placed through
General Agent Haines, and he had fol-
lowed the same plan Of taking commits
sions in this case as wen as ia the
other.
In other companies, the witness said,
ne had taken out $4,000 insurance
$4,000 was in the New York Life, $780,
900 in the Travellers, and $25, 900 in
the Aetna. In each case be received
By him amounting to more than $780,
900 100000 was on his own life and
the remainder on his family.
Pinned down by Mr.. Hughes, witness
said he thought that whenever the Off
Ger Of an insurane company took out
a policy, in his own OF in another com
pany, it would be safe To presume that
he was getting the commissions. He
admitted that in the case Of his taking
out insurance in his own company he
had taken the entire commission, al
though he had ostensihly been insured
through general agent.
Mr.. Tarbell made other interesting
disclosures Among these was his ad-
mission concerning business trips around
the country. On these trips were groups
Of men, most of them attached to tile
society, and sometimes his wife, son
and daughter Transportation was gem
orally furnished free by the railroads,
and sometimes the private car as well
He justified this sort Of thing by as
serting that, while lie at times took these
trips in lieu Of vacation, the private
car was really workshop to him, and
he always deducted family expenses in
his vouchers.

BLOWS CAUSED
DURANT'SDEATH
Witnesses So Testify in Case
at Waterbury.
THE HEARING IS CLOSED.
According to Testimony Of DR.. James. the
Primary Cause of Death Was the
Blows inflicted by Coon
and Dennis.
THE HEARING IS CLOSED.

Waterbury, Nov. 80. Inyestigation
into the death of Peter Durant, an aged
inmate Of the state insane asylum here,
who died the first Of November, was
brought to close yesterday, and the
report of the board of supervisors who
have been conducting the hearing will
he made, it is expected, within few
weeks.
Witnesses examined yesterday testi-
fed to what occurred one night between
Durant and two attendants in the din
ing room. They said that Durant per-
sisted in rising from his chair and leav-
ing the room, and that, finally, two
attendants, Coon and Dennis, after try
ing to force the patient into his seat,
struck him.
r. B. Curtis, an employee Of the in
stitution, said that Durant's chair slip
ped from under him. He did not see,
he claimed, that Durant threatened the
attendants with q knife, as had been
previously alleged.
DIR. Henry james Of this place, who
was present at the post norton exam
inntion OF Durant, said that he found
the breast bone bruised and four ribs
broken, as well as other minor injuries.
in his opinion, the primary cause Of
death was the blows inflicted by the
two defendants, which, however, he
thought, were not hard enough TO have
seriously affected younger and more
healthy man. DIR. w. L. WATSON, second
assistant physician at the hospital,
thought Durant's death was due to
blow on the head.
At the conclusion Of the hearing the
members Of the board Of supervisors
left town, and it Is expected viii make
known the result of their findings in two
weeks.

Presented Old Plan.

In opposition 70 this arran cement the
Northeast Citizens Association yester-
day presented once more the plan for
the arrangement Of these streets which
they substituted a year ago. and which
was not approved by the Commission
ers at that time
The arrangement of plaza approaches
was settled AT that time and would not
have arisen again had not the railroad
company discovered its need Of addi-
tional facilities adjoining the Unon Sta
ton for mail and express yards.
The contention of the citizens is that
+ street, instead of DETECTING from its
straight course. should continue directly
into the plaza as shown in the diagram
of their scheme. They wish r street,
on the other hand. TO be DETECTED at
Second street and run diagonally into
California street.
They are willing to accept as an al
tentative for this latter demand the ex-
tension of F street as proposed by the
Commissioners, but they do not yield as
concerns z street
They also object 10 the narrow width
proposed for the new street, and ask
for street 50 or 100 feet wide They
also argue that F street will be made
difficult for pedestrian travel by the
congestion of railroad vehicle traffic 1T
that point The Commissioners answer
that both these difficulties can be OBJ
'-iated.
Ire total area of the triangular space
10 be acquired by the railroads is about
Il. 600 feet
