This Is due TO a lack of knowledge

alcohol is an Indispensable requisite

attempting to cross the railroad tracks
before southbound freight on the Con-
cord division Of the Boston and Maine
railroad near South Danbury yesterday,
Clinton G. Stevens, well known farmer,

Mr.. Stearns was GO years old and

where he loaded II upon the milk train.
It Is thought that he mistook a
freight train for a passenger train yes

late and it arrived about the time that
the passenger train was due. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Stearns saw the train,
thought it was the passenger, and hur-
ried to cross the track, so as to be in

the passenger train ne would have had

OAJECTED TO SONS
PLAYING FOOT BALL
Father Of Columbia Player Addressed
Letter to President Butler Asking
Him to Keep Boy Of
the Team.


New York, Nov. "a letter addressed
to President Butler of Columbia univer-
sity from Il. Duden, the father of one
OF Columbia's foot ball men, was made
public last night at the university. The
letter says:
My son, Fred II. Duden, senior in
the school Of mines, has to finish his
studies and be graduated this year. He
has lost one year at the university by
being unable to pass his examinations
because Of playing foot ball., and had
to take the same courses over again.
He passed his examinations last June
and now is in the last year Of the school
of mines.
i have how telegram addressed by
Coach Morley to my son:
Report at Columbia oval at a. M.
for foot ball practice
How can my son study when he has
to be at nine in the morning at football
practice, and again at practice after
four o'clock in the afternoon until later
Il certainly did not send my boy to
the university to learn to play foot ball,
and | find that it ruins his constitution,
besides the bodily harm he risks every
day. l have now told him that he
must either quit foot ball or leave the
university, and still he is forced to play
by Morley, who seems to have him under
his control.
II appeal TO you 70 find some ways
and means to get him off the foot ball
team, 50 that he has the necessary time
to study, to attend to the lectures and,
by so doing, graduate in his final exam
nations
To this letter, the university authori-
ties replied:
When the standing Of a scholar is
uniformly good, it is impossible for the
university to take action in such cases.
II parent desires that his son shall
not pursue football, he must persuade
him through other means. just so long
as his scholarship is maintained at the
proper standing, the faculty has no con-
troll over the students action in ath-
letics."
1t was said at the Columbia foot ball
headquarters that Duden would continue
to play throughout the season.

ON PRESIDENTS ArrIrupE.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Spoke Last
Evening.


North Adams, Mass, Nov. AT a
Republican rally here last night, United
tSates Senator Henry Cabot Lodge re-
ferred to the attitude of President
Roosevelt upon the tariff. Senator Lodge
declared that on the subject OF protec-
tion the president and he were in accord.
The remarks were called forth by a
recent address by Henry w. Whitney,
Democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor. Mr.. Lodge said:
'Wr Whitney cites private CONVEX
sation which he had with the President
and in which he says the President
declared that he was in favor Of conti-
mental free trade. / was present, and
have no recollection of anything being
said about continental free trade by
the President, but if he did say it,
it had absolutely no bearing on the pres
ent campaign. Continental free trade
could be brought about only by annexa-
ton, which everybody in the United
States favors, and everybody in Canada
opposes, or by the adoption by Canada
Of tariff uniform with ours against
all foreign nations, to which think
we should have no objection at all, but
to which no one in Canada would assent
for moment"
Discussing the duties of hides, sena-
tor Lodge said:
Il do not think 1t can be taken off
except in general revision, end when
that revision occurs, which hope will
be very soon, trust that we may be
able 70 remove it, but the removal will
probably involve large reduction If
not the entire removal of the duties
which now protects boots and shoes.

CHANGE IN LEGISLATIVE RULES.

CHANGE IN LEGISLATIVE RULES.
Clerk r. G. Cheney of the Vermont
legislature has come back from tour
OF inspection Of the working OF the legis-
iative wheels in New York, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Connecticut
with several new ideas which he pro
poses TO the special commission to be
introduced in the Vermont assembly.
That there is room for Improvement in
the methods Of doing business here is
certain, and If the officials are able to
advance any schemes whereby the BIZ
ennial grist il ground out more expedi-
tiously, then the legislature ought to
lose no time in adopting them. But It
must be borne in mind that speed gain
ed Mt the expense Of thoroughness will
be more costly in the end than the long
sessions which we have now. But the
officials, especially Clerk Of the House
Thomas G. Cheney, can be trusted To-
Ls careful in their recommendations
These Is one innovation which ought
to be made, and it is not by any means
a new suggestion, that the first reading
Of the bills be BY title only. (And this
we say with oil due respect to Repre-
sentative Hapgood Of PERU A great
deal of time is lost uselessly in this
particular The members introduce their
bills and the present rules require that
the documents be read in full unless
perchance someone moves, and the mo
ton is carried, that the bill be read by
title only. The reading of the bill pre-
vious to its being sent to committee

touched up, there is time enough to call
the specific parts to the attention Of

should be read in their entirety, so
that vote can be registered intelli-

state Of Vermont pays something and
gets nothing when IL requires that they
