GILLETTE TRIAL IS NEARING THE END Evidence VIII All Have Been lnto- dIced Before 1o-Dsy's Session
 Closes m Tur nIDV urVT WrrR
10 THE JURY NEXT WEEK
The Arguments of the Opposing Counsel Will Be Commenced
 Monday.

Herkimer, N. Y., Dec 1.-Chester D. Gillette, who is on trial charged with the murder of Grace Brown, his sweetheart, will not know his fate until next week. The last bit of evil dence, both for and against the ac- cused man will have been given to the jury before the court adjourns to- day There will remain, however, the closing arguments and the charge of the presiding justice before the case goes to the jury. In view of the mass of testimony, 1t Is believed that the final arguments will be anything but brief.
 The session of the court to-day will be brief. The usual custom of ad- journing at midday on Saturday un- til Monday will be followed. This will give scarcely more than sufficient time to clear away preliminary de- tails and will allow little if any time for the arguments. At any rate 1t seems hardly possible that the prose- cutors closing argument will be reach ed today and Gillette probably will have day of rest to nerve him helf for the ordeal he will have to undergo when the prosecu- tor faces the jury for the last time.
 When the trial was resumed this forenoon Gillette again went on the stand.
 District Attorney Ward pulled sev- eral garments out of Miss Browns trunk and Gillette identified them as an apron, skirt, etc, that Grace Brown wore In the factory. Gillette, under instruction. ransacked his own suit case at the feet of the jurors. but fall ed to find any of his working clothes in the pack.
 The object was to show that Grace Browns farewell words to the farm, when she said she might ne,Hr see the dear old place again, was prompt ed by her decisipu to remain away from home forever with Gillette who. at least, had promised to go to sS0uth Otsellc md take her away. Glllette's failure to find any of his working clothes in his grip will be placed be- fore the jury In the prosecutors sum- ming up as an indication that he in- tended to he back in Cortland in week.
 Deputy Sherlff Klock testified that Gillette told him he was able to find his way to Eagle bay by keeping the lake In sight all the time.
 Evan Evans. turnkey at the Her klmer jail. swore that Gillette's watch did not stop at 6:l0 on the night of

FOOTBALL SEASON
 IS NOW 1T AN END Men Who Made the New Rules Now Discussing Further Changes For
 Next Year MAMV nrAf AnMV m m n
NAVY BEAT ARMY 10 TO ..
Last of the Big Games of 1906 Was Played at Philadelphia
 This Afternoon.

Philadelphia Dec 1.--While the army and navy cadets were ringing down the curtain on the football sea son of 1906, one of the most interest ing seasons in the history of the game because of the new rules, the men who make the rules were already dis cussing the advisability of further changes in the code.
 To-day's game has brought to Phil adelphia nearly all the football ex- perts in the country. Late last night there was a meeting of the Middle Atlantic Football committee, at which were present among others, Walter camp, Professor Dennis, John c. Bell, Carl Williams, Paul Dashiel, John E. Pine, w H. Corbin, who are prOmi- nent as officials. Among the sugges- tions adopted which will be sent to the general rules committee are these:
 That 15-yard penalty be substl- tuted for the loss of the ball when a forward pass hits the ground.
 A majority opinion favored the dDOllJlOIl or tue uNe-ydru Iuic iioHi center In the forward pass.
 Favored allowing two forward passes in one scrimnnage if the first did not cross the line of scrimmage
 Opposed to increasing the number of downs in ten yards.
 That linemen be given the privilege of exchanging with the backs pro vided that such a shaft will not pro duce mass plays.
 Favored the abolition of the rule prohibiting tacking below the knees.
 That the five mben on the side line be kept back three yards from grid iron.
 Favored increasing the time of play to 8 minute halves and that time to be taken out for distance penalties.
 Favored abolishing the second um- pire; favored clauses clarifying under what condition a man could recover the forward pass.
 Favored ruling definitely protect ing the man catching punt.
 Voted that In Turner legislation the referee be given control of the condi- ton and progress of the ball and the umpire the players.

HUNTING Il VERY
 COSTLY SPORT Nineteen Lives Lost in the Past Two Months in New
 England
FOUR DIED FROM EXPOSURE.
In Thirteen Cases the Huntsman Met His Death By a Bullet \
 From . Rifle.

Boston, Dec With the close season on moose going into effect in Maine at midnight last night, statis- tics completed to-day show that two months of hunting in. New England have cost nineteen human lives. Of these fatalities eight occurred in Maine, six in Massachusetts, three in New Hampshire and two in Vermont. Four of the deaths occurred from exposure and one from an attack of heart disease. while in the other four teen cases the fatal shot in only one instance was self-inficted, thus leav- ing thirteen hunters at the close of a seasons sport, each responsible for a human life. Two of the victims were women. one each for Massachu- setts and New Hampshire.
 In addition, at least fourteen oth- CTS have been seriousy injured by the accidental discharge of hunters weapons, six in Massachusetts. and one each in New Hampshire and Yer mont. In these cases six of the wounds were self-infiicted. Various causes were given for the accidents. In some cases the hunter shot be- cause he heard a rustic in the bushes and mistaking the cause of the noise for an animal, fired and investigated later. In other instances the slipping of the weapon. or fall in climbing over an Obstruc- tion, or nervous lingering of the trig- ger. and, in few cases, careless fooling with loaded gun. were re- sponsible. One Massachusetts game warden was seriously injured while attempting to enforce the Sunday game laws.
 The majority of the accidents oc- cured in October, when thirteen of the victims met their fate. This was due principally, it is believed, to the unusually heavy foliage which clung to the trees until late in the fall. As the view in the woods be- came less obstructed. fewer accidents were reported. One interesting fact was that all of the mishaps took place when the sportsman was on either by himself or with a friend for a days excursion. and in no instance was a shooting reported where par ties had gone deep into the game country for an extended trip with professional guides. It was interest ing, also, to note that Massachusetts pressed Maine SO closely in the num- Der of accidents, having only two less deaths and an equal number of serious accidents. In the Bay state, only small game is hunted. But the big game in Maine attracts hundreds of visitors from all over the eastern part of the country, and these. with large proportion of its rural male inhabitants going into the woods for days outing. constitute small army of armed men. among whom a larger casualty list might be expect ed. That the number of victims in the Pine Tree state was not greater this season is believed to be due largely to the steps taken by Maine authorities in enacting and enforc- ing laws against accidental shootings.
 While the moose hunting season closed in Maine at midnight last night. several hunters will remain two weeks longer fin the great north woods until the conclusion of the deer season.

Army and Navy Game.

Philadelphia, Dec 1.-The black, gold and gray of the army and the blue and gold of the navy are flying everywhere in Philadelphia to-day in honor of the annual football match on Franklin field this afternoon be- tween the cadets of West Point and Annapolis. Despite the threatening weather an enormous crowd, as large as has ever attended an army and navy game on the University of Pennsylvania gridiron, is expected to be on hand to see the struggle. The hotels are crowded with visitors. Hundreds came in yesterday and last night and thousands arrived on the morning trains. Fourteen special trains came in during the forenoon from New York. Washington. West Point, Annapolis and intermediate points. The greatest number came from Washington and included the assistant secretaries of war and navy, rear admirals. major-generas and on1- cers of all other grades down to the plain privates.
 For the first time since the game has been brought here neither the secretary of war nor the secretary of the navy will be present. The only members of President Roose- velt's family to be present are Miss Ethel Roosevelt and her brothers, who will be accompanied by Miss Hagner, Mrs Roosevelt's secretary. Besides the war and navy depart ments, every other department of the government will be we'll repre- sented.
 There is little to choose between the two eleyens. There is a differ ence of only a pound in the weight of the players and this is in favor of the navy, the first time they have outweighed' the army boys in several years. The average of the army is 172 and the navy IFS.
 The teams have practically the same record for the season. The army team has played stronger elevens and therefore has had a little more experience. The only team they have each played was Princeton. the latter defeating the navy 5 to 0 and the army s to o. but the Princeton fans could not cross the West Point CTS goal line. their eight points being made on two drop kicks

FIGHT ON BLAZING BARK.
Captains Quarrel While Fire on the
Mamie Scan Threatens OIL.

The three masted bark Mamie Swan loaded with
cargo Of case oil for the West Indies, caught fire
yesterday while at anchor off Stapleton. Had it
not been for the prompt action of the pilot boat
New-Jersey the fireboat Abraham S. Hewitt and
the water boat Stapleton, the bark would have been
totally destroyed.
While the flames licking about the fore
castle lively argument ensued between Captain
Peterson, of the New-Jersey and Captain George
Stapleton, of the Stapleton.
Captain Peterson the first man aboard and
took command of the situation. Captain Higgins,
of the Mamie Swan, being ashore at the time The
pilot captain had hardly boarded the bark when
Captain Stapleton jumped aboard. and was prompt
ly ordered back by Captain Peterson.
Captain Peterson grabbed Captain StapIeton by
the throat, and the latter asserts that he would
have been thrown overheard had not his
to the rescue.
The fire is believed to have started from hot Goals
from the cooks stove dropping on some cotton
waste saturated with oil. The mate ordered the
forward to fight the fire so soon as II was

below. A thick fog shut off all view Of the
flames, and the ships bell was practically useless
as an alarm.
The explosion of a few cans of oil alarmed Mrs.
Higgins, and she was taken In a skiff to Bechtel s
dock The crew which rowed Mrs. Higgins ashore
signaed the Stapleton and requested that It steam
out and save the bark from total destruction.
