HARVARD WILL PLAY
 FOOTBALL NEXT FALL
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY ATH- LETIC COMMITTEE IN FA-
 VOR OF GAME.

Belief That the Revised Rules Recently
 Adopted by the American JntercOl-
 legiate Rules Committee Afford a.
 Reasonable Assurance That q Satis-
 factory Game May be Played Under
 Them--Action Must be Endorsed by
 Board of Overseers and Corporation.
 Cambridge, April 3.-The Harvard athletic committee is in favor of play ing intercollegiate football at Harvard during the season of 1906. The an- nouncement was made tonight that at a meeting of the committee held last night resolutions were adopted declar- ing in favor of the game under the re- vised rules recently compiled by the American intercollegiate football rules committee at it's conference in New York. The action of the athletic conn mittee is subject to the approval of the board of overseers and the college cor poration before it will become effective, but, inasmuch as these bodies have delegated the athletic committee to solve the football problem, it Is be- lieved that football will be played in the stadium next fall under the new rules.
 The action of the athletic committee was made public in the following off cial statement issued by the committee tonight:
 Tt was voted that the following res olution be adopted and transmitted to the corporation and board of overseers and to the faculty of arts and sciences, together with the appended statement:
 The Harvard athletic committee, by virtue of the authority delegated to 1t by the corporation and the board of overseers, hereby votes to sanction the game of football at Harvard as an in tercollegiate sport for the season of 1906"
 The following statement was append ed to the resolution:
 "The committee has taken this action after careful examination of the re- vised rules for football recently adopted by the American intercollegiate football rules committee These rules seem to afford a reasonable assurance that satisfactory game may be played under them, and the committee considers it desirable and expedient to permit the Harvard team to cooperate with other university teams in the endeavor to test and exemplify these rules in intercolle- giate contests"
 The faculty of arts and sciences, to which body the resolution Is in part ad dressed, has nothing to do with the football question. This body, however, { recently adopted a resolution to the ef- feet that it was desirable that football be omitted during 1906, and the action of the athletic committee in referring to the faculty of arts and sciences was merely an act of courtesy.
 It was the general feeling about the university tonight that immediately after the spring vacation Coach Reid will have football squad out for prac- tice.

GAR PROPOSES EARLY
 CONFERENCE AT HAGUE
QUESTION IS UNEXPECTEDLY PLACED BEFORE THE STATE <
 DEPARTMENT.

Russian Ambassadors Indicates That the
 Netherlands Government Has As.
 sented to the PrOpOsaI--Some obiec-
 tion Likely to the Programme Set for
 Discussion Notable Disinclination
 Among European Powers to Enter
 Into Any Engagements That VIII
 Further Restrict Independence of
 Action in International Matters.
 Washington, April S.-Unexpectedly. the Russian government to-day made another movement toward the recon yention of The Hague conference, when Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador. presented to Secretary Root a proposal for the reconvention of the conference at The Hague early in the coming sum- mer, and indicated that the Nether- lands government had assented to the proposal.
 It had been supposed that, owing to the oomplexity of the problems involve ed in the arrangement. of even a tenta- tive programme for the conference and the delays caused by the necessity of persuading the Swiss government to make the time and programme for the approaching Red Cross convention con- form as far as possible to The Hague project, it would scarcely be possible for the conference to assemble earlier than late date next fall There were reasonable objections, however, to such date, and it was intimated that it might be necessary to defer the conven- tion until next year.
 The matter had been left, in large part, to the governments of Russia and the Netherlands to adjust, the first named because the proposal for the con- ference had originated with Emperor Nicholas, and the latter for the reason that the host sho ->f be consulted when 1t concerned a matter 0f date for the conference. The fact that they have agreed makes it probable that the other signatory powers to the original Hague convention, which have accepted the invitation to attend the next confer ence, will agree to the proposed date. although the short period of time avail able will make 1t necessary fer some of the powers which have given little att tention to the subject recently to do some rapid diplomatic work in order to arrange programmes according to their own desires, for it is certain that this proposed Russian programme, as con- veyed to the state department to-day by Baron Rosen, will, while not meet ing positive objections, at least call forth some projects differing material ly, in scope and detail, from the Rus sian plan.

"Old Sport" Campana was well known in New Haven. He lived in this city about three or four years some fifteen years ago. He resided on Nicoll street for time and gained good livelihood selling vegetables and fruits, going about the town with team. His familiar cry was not unwelcome to many. "Old Sport" was proud of the quality of bananas he sold, and always claimed they were the best to be had in the city. They were as good, at any rate. He was genial, whole-souled huckster, and every one had good word for him. He took part in several walking matches here.

MAYOR HENNEY REELECTED
ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICK EFT
 GOES IN WITH HIM.

William r. O'Neill, the Nominee of the
 Hartford Democrats, Defeated by Il
 Majority of Over 2,000---Vote Cast for
 Him In Democratic Wards Far Below
 the Reconsideration Taken by
 Both Sides to Have the Election a
 Clean One.
 Hartford, April S.-Mayor William F. Henney, republican, was to-day re- elected by a majority of over 1000 votes in the city election held here to- day, and the entire republican ticket went in with him. It was a remarkable election for various reasons, chief being the determination of the leaders of both parties and the citizens in general to make 1t clean election. There was, so far as Is known, no vote buying, and in every ward there were located watchers. Detectives wee also in town but no arrests were made.
 Tn the democratic wards, the vote cast for William F. O'Nefl, the demo- cratic candidate for mayor, was away below the average cast for the demo- cratic candidates in those wards. Some of the wards, where 1t was expected q heavy vote would be cast for the democratic nominees, went republican, The Eighth ward was a particular in stance of this where the prediction in- dications were that the democrats would have a complete walk-over
 The contest throughout the day from the opening of the polls at o'clock this morning until their closing at 5 o'clock this afternoon was animated. In every ward carriages, automobiles, and in some instances even trolley cars were pressed into service in order to get the voters to the polls.
 Voting machines were used thereby ensuring quick and prompt returns. The machines, 1t Is said, worked excel lently in every ward.
 The result of the election, 1t Is said, came as big surprise to the demo- crats The city ticket which won was Mayor, William F. Henney; treasurer, Charles H. slocum; collector, Otis J. Hart controller, Charles H Robins; marshal, Hart Talcott; town clerk. Henry F. Smith; registrar, Edward s. Young; selectmen, H. B. Philbrick, J. T. Titcomb, w. J. Holhurst; grand jur- ors, Edward L. Steele, Salvador D'Esopo, Luclus F. Robinson; high school committee, Archibald A. Welch, F. W. Davis J. J. McCook school vis- itors Francis Parsons and James J. Peard.
 Mayor Henneys total vote was 7,401, and that cast for O'Neil was 5,340, Tn 1904 Mayor Henney boiled TIPS votes against 6.57t cast for Ignatius A. Sul- livan, who was the democratic candi- date for mayor at that time.
 In commenting on the result of the election the Hartford Times in an ex- tra to-nigslt says:
 ITO Mr O'Neil goes the satisfaction of having made a gallant struggle against a popular opponent. MT. ONeil's defeat in no way will diminish the respect for him on the part of his fellow citizens"
