YOST WILL REMAIN
As Coach of Michigan Football Team University of Wis
 .consin Takes Action.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 6-At q ses- sion lasting late last evening the Uni versity of Michigan senate voted prac- tically unanimously to retain Coach Yost for the Michigan football eleven regardless of the recommendations of the recent Chicago football conference which declared against professional coaches who were not faculty mem bers. There was no great controversy over this question, YOst having con tract running four more years. The proposal made by the University of Chicago that football be abolished for two years was defeated by decisive vote.
 It was decided to accept the Chicago conference recommendation for three years eligibility rule but at the Uni versity of Michigan the rule is not to be retoactive, that is, it will not apply to students who entered college under the former conditions. This ruling of the senate will save Captain Curtis. Garrels, Barlow and Schulte. who have been athletes three years and would have been ruled out under the Chicago recommendations.
 When the proposition to abolish the training table was reached a deter mined fight was started in favor of retaining the tables, but having won out on it's principal contentious. the opposition did not press its advantage and the rule to abolish training tables was endorsed as were also the remain ing recommendations of the Chicago conference.

ROBERT MANTELL.

Robert Mantell will appear at Polls Thursday night, when he will be seen as King Lear" in the first revival of Shakespeare's master tragedy ever given here. Indeed, not since Edwin Booth was in his prime has the great drama of fil:aI ingratitude been given in English by an actor of the notable attain ments of MT Mantell. Of the Shake speare plays at present in MT Man tells long and growing list, King Lear has been selected for his sim gle appearance here because of Its rarity. Mir Mantell brings to the play a fine equipment-intellectual, elocutionary, physical and histrionic. He uses the excellent stage-arrange- ment of the play made for Edwin Booth by William Winter. The sin gle presentment of the play here will be really novelty for Water- bury's theater-goers, inasmuch as there has been no opportunity for the present generation to have seen the tragedy in any form. Marie Booth Russell, beautiful and ac- complished actress of classic roles, will have the notable character of the faithful, misunderstood Cordelid in the revival, which will be given in Polls exactly as in New York city. Harry Leighton, Giles Shine and Guy Lindley are among the trained Shakespearean actors in Mr Mantell's company. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, s1 and $1.5O. Sale or seats. "Wednesday. Telephone 11s. Noffree Riistr Orders will not be- held after Thursday noon.

the audience were invited to ride him. Several made the attempt and by the time they were picked up in sections the audience was in bedlam. Men roared, women shrieked, the gal lery god howled as never before, and "Hee Flaw" looked out over the foot lights with a very apparent air of ennui. The revolving table com pleted the cyclone of merriment. Two tiny ponies rode it at full speed and then M. Berzae offered $500 to anyone who would do the same. Again the foolhardy ventured neck and limb, and the people in the chairs held on for dear life while the roof rose and fell with the ever in- creasing shouts of delight. Don't miss seeing this act whatever you do. It's positive sensation in laugh making. Bellman and Moore, a very clever and very discreet pair of char
 acter artists, offer a skit that gives them opportunity to display the tal- ents they possess. The act is de- lightfully clean, wholesome and thoroughly charming one, and there is just enough of it to please without palling. Numbers of its type are rare in polite" vaudeville and their engagement is something always to be welcomed. The remainder of the bill is uncommonly good and is made up of the Three Leightons, Dixon and Holmes, Mile Troja, Johnny Reilly, and Fiske and McDonough.

HIGGINS SIGNS BILL
Big Life Company Directors
 and Trustees Ousted.
CARELESS, SELFISH AND DISLOYAL
Governor Tn Memorandum Scores High Omcials of New York Insur- ance COrpOrations-All Must
 Retire on Nov. 15.


 High Omcials of New York Insur-
 ance Corporations-All Must
 Retire on Nov. 16.
 ALBANY, N. Y, April 3.-The first of the ten bills proposed by the special Investigating committee as the result of it's long and sensational investiga- ton of life insurance methods and con- ditions is now law.
 Governor Higgins has affixed his sig nature to the bill which postpones until Nov. 15 the annual elections of the New York Life, Mutual of New York, Mu- tual Reserve of New York and Security Mutual of Binghamton-the four pure ly mutual life insurance companies in- corporated under the laws of this state It does not affect the Equitable Life Assurance society, which is stock company. In signing the bill the gov ernor issued a memorandum sharply criticising the directors whom he thus legislated from office.
 Under the provisions of the act, which takes effect immediately, the present directors and trustees of the four con- panies concerned will continue in of- flee until Nov 15, and their terms of office will then expire, no matter for how long they may have been elected and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the respective charters or bylaws.
 On that date the annual meetings must be held by all of the four com panies 'at time and place which shall be fixed by the board of directors, and an entire new board of directors shall then be elected. The said cleo tions shall be under the supervision of the superintendent of insurance, who shall appoint at least three policy hold CTS of each corporation holding such an election to act as inspectors thereof"
 One of the most important effects of the act is that it invalidates every proxy hitherto secured, whether by the companies themselves, by Thomas W. Lawson of Boston or any one else, the act providing that mo vote shall be cast at any such election under any proxy executed prior to the 18th day of September, 1906, and all proxies executed heretofore or prior to said date authorizing any vote to be cast at any election of directors of any do- nestle mutual life insurance corpora tion shall be void"
 Governor Higgins memorandum says:
 The bill is useful one. It takes the control of certain companies from the present boards of directors, mem- bers of which have been discredited by the poor account given of their stewardship to the Investigating com mittee. Some were careless, some selfish, and few proved so loyal to the interests of policy holders as to justify their being continued in office. except by the exercise of the enlightened fran chises of such policy holders
