Assault With Words.

A recent police story from Judge
Bope's court tells that al cause was
about to be tried where the accused
was charged with An assault with
words. Behind the story lies a Bit
human interest.
What Is an assault with words?
Ire aforesaid assault is fraught
with fearful and wonderful posslbili.
ties. When Mrs. Murphy's goat stalks
the back yard fence and chews the
hair from Mrs. Muleahey's pig there
Is apt to be an assault with a broom
to say nothing about m assault with
words. Or, on the other hand, should
Mary Smiths pet hens scratch up the
Fogarty garden there may be a few
new cackles In the poultry elysium. II
Fogarty drags his ten bore fromafhe
closet and discharges a bar load at
the Smith hens: an assault with
words will likely follow. Should the
Smiths fail to fix up the holes In the
partnership fence there is likelihood
Of another chicken killing aud the in.
e,itahie assault with words, or Der.
haps something else.
Just what constitutes an assault
with words may BIZ a difficult thing
to determine. Its 4 new kind of as-
SAINT. Coke and Blackstone would
disturb the dust OF centuries could
they but know. In the old days. words
never assaulted anybody. II was the
assault that followed the assault with
words that Jared the frame and drove
the spinal chord through the top Of
your head like a presidential light
ming rod. 1t would seem that a plain
old fashioned assault with bricks Ia
cheaper than the new assault with
words, after Its all over and you plean
guilty without trial. Trial for an a..
sault with words would necessarily
involve the expenditure OF more words
and these come high In the shape I'll
lawyers ices The brick proposition
might prove mot only cheaper but
more profitable. II the rogartys and.
the Smiths Know the right words Is
use they might make the Murphys OF
the Muicaheys throw enough bricks
over the fence to build a new founda

Yale Students Again Up
To Some Of Old Tricks.
Police Looking Into Early Sun
day Morning Disturbances.


New Haven, Conn, April 1.--Police
inquiry is being made into the cause Of
a lively disturbance which occurred
early today just outside of police head
quarters in which many scores of Yale
undergraduates are thought to have
taken part OF late there has been a
recrudescence of what are locally term
ed town and gown fights on the city
streets, but none has been serious
to warrant police interference until to-
day.
Upon the outbreak Of the trouble a
squad Of officers rushed out Of police
headquarters to dispense the crowd
which numbered several hundreds of
men, boys and women. The officers
were swept aside and roughly handled
until they began to use their clubs and
drove groups of the disturbers upon
the New Haven green. Quiet was not
restored for d long time, and then not
until a hotel proprietor had promised
to bail out four students who had been
arrested. One student was picked up
unconscious after the fight and also
taken to the police station.
The police are uncertain whether the
trouble was between student factions
which. had been turned out of nearby
hotels, or an attempt OF students to
rush" a crowd Of townspeople who
had been at a social gathering in a
public hall. Several women who were
caught In the scrmmage We're badly
jostled and received assistance from
the officers.

COURT REVIEW AMENDMENT.
Senator TiIIman Not Satisfied With
Railroad Rate Bill.

Washington. April 1.-Senator TIL
man who has charge of the rail
way rate bill in the Senate, said ct
Washington Sunday night that he was not
satisfied with the court review amend
ment to the measure which was agreed
on Saturday at 4 conference between
President Roosevelt. several Republican
senators who are supporting the bill and
members of the interstate commerce COM
mission. The senator said he would on
pose it on the floor of the Senate and he
expressed the opinion that not over a doz-
en- of his Democratic colleagues would
support the amendment.
Senator Tilman declares the amend
m"nt does not meet the situation fully in
asmuch as it makes no provision setting
forth specifically that there shall be NJ
suspension of the railway rate fixed by
the interstate commerce commission pend
ing the judicial determinat ton of any case
which may be appealed from the rate as
established.
This is a contention which Senator Till
mar: and number Of The Democratic
senators have urged as they urged that Il

the object for which the IcgiSlat ton is de-
sired. The senator added that lie would
prefer to vote for the House bill as il
stood than to accept the amendment 70:
the pending measure gave the right of
review where constitutional questions az"
involved.
Senator Spooner was at the White
House tonight in conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt presumably on matters
connected with rate legislation.
