The special meeting Of the board Of
aldermen last night was one of the
longest and most important meetings
held by the present board The meet
ing was called BY Mayor studley at the
special request Of the hoard of health.
This board desired the sanction of the
beard Of aldermen to new plan that
they have for contracting for the dis
posal of city garbage. BY permission
OF the board OF aldermen Dr.. James Fl.
Maher, president of the board of
health, appeared before the aldermen
and explained the urgency Of the uues-
ton. His remarks were reinforced by
those of Alderman Homan, who stated
that the work of the board Of finance

The text Of the mayors communica-
ton was as follows:
MAYORS LETTER TO BOARD OF
The Honorable Board of Aldermen,
City Of New Haven, Conn.
Gentlemen:-You win receive at this
meeting o communication from the
board of health, asking for permission
to make contract for the collection
of garbage.
The board of health labored under
disadvantage in the past because it felt
that the contract must be awarded to
the lowest bidder Oftenttnes those
who have bid have underbid not ex-
pecting to take the contract themselves,
but hoping to get some favors from
those to whom they would transfer It.
For the present year the contract for
collecting garbage amounted to about
$500, although a larger sum was ap-
propriated
believe that the collection can be
made good and satisfactory if the con-
tracts are let TO the right parties, that
is to those who have the means of col
lecting and properly disposing of the
garbage
[ have no doubt that if permission
asked for by the board of health is
granted a better garbage collection win
be secured for the city than It has ever
had, and at a. reasonable price.
If you should not grant their request
tonight / trust that you viii instruct
the committee to which 1t is referred to

Grace brown MURDERED
BEFORE THROWN into Lake
THO REPUTABLE PHYSICIANS
PRESENT AT THE AUTOPSY
so TESTIFY.

Their Opinion That Unfortunate Girl
Died of Blows Which Killed or
Rendered Her Unconscious Before
Hurled Into Water-BloOd ClOt ON
Brain Produced by One Blow SuiFlc-
lent in Itself to Cause Death.
Herkimer, N. Y, Nov. 26.-Two rep
utable physicians, who were present at
the autopsy held on Grace Browns
body, went on the stand at the Gillette
murder trial to-day and testified that
the girl received blows before enter
ing the water that were sufficient to
cause death, and which, in their opin-
ion, did cause death in this case.
These physicians, DR.. A. O. Douglas,
and DR.. E. H. Douglas both Of Little
Falls, but not relatives, declared un-
der oath that Grace Brown was not
drowned. 1t was their opinion that she
died from blows that killed or render
ed her unconscious before her body
dropped into Big Moose Lake,
They declared that there was not
enough water in the lungs of the body
to warrant theory of drowning,
The substance of their testimony,
which occupied the entire day was that
Grace Brown received one blow that
cut her upper lip and loosened a tooth,
that another blow discolored her cheek,
and ruptured blood vessel within 1t,
and that third and more severe blow
on the scalp caused a blood clot to
form on the brain. The blood clot ON
the brain, the physicians swore, was
sufficient in Itself to have caused
death.
Former Senator Mills, Gillette's senior
counsel, conducted the cross -examina-
ton. He spent several hours in an ef-
fort to shake the testimony Of lhese
witnesses, and while he succeeded in
confusing Dr. A. 0. Douglas somewhat,
neither off them went back of their
opinion that Grace Brown was slain be-
fore she was immersed in the waters Of
Blg Moose Lake,
The theory advanced by the defense
was that the blows could have been ad-
ministered after death. and their line of
questioning Indicated contention that
the girl in drowning rose to the sur
face three times and each time struck
the overturned skiff ana received the
injuries alleged by the witnesses and
state to have been inflicted before she
was immersed in the lake,
To-day was the first time that the
district attorney has made an attempt
to prove directly that Grace Brown was
actually murdered He had spent a
week in showing a possible motive, and
so connecting Gillette with the case that
the jury would look to him as the guilty
person should murder be proved at the
close of the states case.
When DR.. E, H, Douglas first took the
stand he was asked to describe the in
1uries he found on Grace Browns body
at the autopsy.
There was a confusion on the left
cheek, the left eye was discolored, the
nose was swollen, and on the right
side of the head there was a confusion
such as could not have been caused aft
er death, he said.

AGAINST TRAINING TABLES
President of Brown Would Like to See
Them Abolished.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 26-President
w H. P. Faunce of Brown university
in an address to the students of thai
institution to-day made it clear that he
was opposed to training tables for col
lege athletic teams. He said:
II am glad that developments of the
past season have saved college football
But improvements are stil to come
Personally I shpuld like to see all train
ing tables abolished, as l abhor sys-
TENS which separate athletics at all
from the rest of the student body
Il would like to see in the future all
games played on college grounds. The
dignity and standard of the college
would be raised if we could make the
public believe that they were guests
of the college at athletic contests.n

ANN xAYIoN IMPOSSIBLE
Nova Scotia Official Speaks on Behalf
OF Cnnndn.

Boston, Nov 26.-The annexation of
Canada by the United States is an alb
solute impossibility, but that a union
of the two countries was a possibility
was the keynote of an address delivered
tonight at the annual dinner Of the
Canadian club by Lieutenant Governor
duncan G. Frazer of Nova Scotia,
Never in the history of the world"
he declared, "can annexation be made
possible, but the time may come when
these two countries will join in a union
for the freeing of the oppressed and
giving liberty to all mankind. The re-
lations between Canada and the Unit
ed States were never closer than at
the present time. Trade was never
broader between them, and it should be
still broader. Our relations with the
United states are the same now as al
ways, except that wiser councils which
have been argued with you in the in
terests Of reciprocity have failed in their
endeavors, and we have been obliged
/ to seek other avenues for cur COM
merce. There was a time when we were
willing and ready to enter into recip-
rocal trade relations with you, but that
time has passed, and to-day we do not
feel that we should be the first to ask
you for your trade, for we seem to have
nothing which yoH can appear to care
for. There is, believe, mission for
those two mighty nations to which we
belong, and that is a mission under
Gcd for the betterment of our fellow
men,"
Hon. A, B. Morine, formerly finance
minister in the Newfoundland govern
ment, also addressed the club.
Mr.. Morine declared that the Ameri-
can fishermen were all wrong when they
believed that the Newfoundland fisher
men would ultimately come to their
terms. INSTEAD, said MIR. Morine, mo
matter If the Newfoundland fishermen
find utter ruin staring them in the face,
they will not yield one minute point,
and the sooner the Gloucester fisher
men realize this, the quicker amicable
relations can be reached between the
island and the American fishermen"
