CORNELL MANS DEATH \ MYSTERY Rumor That a Freshman Died From Injuries Sus- tained in Class
 Rush. DENIAL FROM
 HIS PHYSICIAN Statement Made That Vic tim Was Not Thrown at Any Time During
 Melee.
 

Ithaca, N. Y., sept. 20.-H. Douglass Fowler Cornell freshman of Calves ton, Texas, died here yesterday after a mysterious illness The circumstances surrounding his death gave currency to the rumor that he did from injuries sustained in the "Rush" Wednesday evening
 Dr. c. P. Beaman who attended Fow- Ter said to-day: '1The rush had nothing to do with Fowler's death. He said death resulted from paralysis of the pneunogastric nerve, and the cause of such paralysis could only be absolutely determined, he said, by an autopsy. pr. Beaman was called to attend the case on Saturday by Fowler's roommate. Fowler complained of headache and fe- yer His temperature was 102. He was sent to the inhrmary without a diag- nosis being made and ordered to remain in bed. Sunday morning, though nerv- ous he chatted brightly, the doctor de- clares about four p, m. Sunday the nurses telephoned that Fowler was suf- fering from convulsions. Dl. Beaman hurried to the infirmary Hypodermics and emergency remedies at first failed, but artificial respiration finally restored consciousness.
 Fowler could move his arms and legs, but his body was cyanosed. pr. Beaman was then convinced that the trouble was in the brain. Fowler died within a few hours.
 While Dr. Beaman favored the braln-hemorrhage theory he insisted that the rush could not have been the cause, as there were no marks on the youths body or head which he might have sustained in the rush Fowler's roommate reported that Fowler complained of not feeling well for several days before the rush, and had treated himself with home rem edies
 The Cornell Sun says that several men who were near Fowler in the rush state that ho was not thrown down at any time during the melee.

HACK ORDINANCE GOES WAY BACK Aldermen Again Refer it to Loos' Committee on Its
 Second Read
 ing.
THREE REPUBLICANS
 BLOCK PARTY MOVE
Attempt to Reconsider Nc Carthy Appointment With Democrats Ab-
 sent Slips Up.

The new hack ordinance which the committee on ordinances of the board of aldermen has been so long in de- Yeloping received another setback last evening at the meeting of the board when it was referred back to the com mittee for still further consideration. despite the protest of the chairman Of the committee. This is the ordi- nance which proposes to divide the city into zones for the regulation of the fares which hackmen may legally charge and it has been the contention Of Chairman Lcos of the committee that this is the only thing that can be enforced at all in this regard After varying vtc,ssitudes the draft which the chairman favors came up before the board on it's, second and final read ing last evening, but the discussion that arose over 1t proved it's doom. Several members of the committee be- san to talk on the matter and to s,lg- gest some changes in the bill, while the chairman remained seated, evil dlntly intending to get in his remarks last. He waited too long, for Alderman Mckerness sprang a surprise by rising and moving that the draft be referred back to the committee. He said that he did not want to sit there and listen to a conference on the subject by the committee, and as they did not seem united on the matter he thought it had better so back for reconsideration.
 Then Chairman I,oos slowly rose in his place and announced that he would feel highly indignant If the ordinance was referred back to the committee without hearing from the chairman of the committee. He began to explain i the draft and the necessity of the pres ent form and was getting, deep in the subject when McKerness again arose and darted another thunder bolt by making the point of order that the de. i bate or explanation was out of order h view of the motion hefre the board
 The chair decided that McKerness was in the right and Loos was cut short 1 in the midst of his remarks after ht had summed up the situation with the 1 (Continueu on Second Pape0

ODD WILL APPEARS
Document in Danish Filed Here From West Indian
 Islands.

One of the oldest documents which has been placed on file in the local probate court in a long time came to hand yesterday when the will of the late Moves E. Perkins, who formerly lived in this city, but was living at the time of his death in Santa Cruz, Danish West Indies, was received at the court. The deceased has been dead some years and the estate has been in process of settlement In the island until this date But there is property to the value of $4,S00 in this city, and in accordance with the law that has to be settled here.
 The copy received opens with sev- eral pages in the Danish language, with which the clerks at the local pro- bate office are not familiar, and fol- lowing this comes the original copy of the will itself which is usually kept on file where the estate is probated. The document calls attention to a certain section of the royal laws of Denmark in accordance with which the estate is supposed to be settled and the clerks nere are wondering now they are to obey the commands of the royal or dinances which they have never seen.
 Moves was formerly residtO,t of this city, but later removed to the Danish West Indies, where he had a plantation His estate in the island was valued at $9,30O. It is left to- getner with the property here to the widow and son. The widoT,was nam ed as administratrix in Nhe island and has so been named for the property in this city.

A Plain Statement of Facts.

On Aug 2 19O7 at meeting of the New Haven Trades Council 1t was vot- cd that 6 committee be appointed to visit Mayor John F. Studley and re- quest him to appoint representative of the laboring classes to the board of education of this city.
 It has been the opinion of the labor men in this city for some time that the class who represent the largest number of the school children in the public schools should at least be entitled to one representative in the the board ot education, so that the interests of their children would be cared for and .heir rights upheld
 Therefore the committee which was appointed in accordance with the vote above referred to met on the. evening of Aug. 12, 1907, and after discussing what was advisable to do it was suggested that the committee adjourn to the City hall and cnleavor to arrange a confer- ence on th.s matter with the mayor. They were fortunate in finding his honor in attendance at meeting Of the board of finance The mayor was called from said meeting and the com mittee made known to him their mis- sion, stating that the Trades Council delegated them to request him to app point q labor man On the board of edu- cation
 Why" said the mayor, my secre- tary, Mir. sedgewick, informed me that I had no more appointments to maks on any c6mmission.
 The committee informed him that terms of two members of the boar pired about Sept 15, or,
 The mayor then said he wol5 down to his office and look the up, whereupon he took the e down to his office.
 He returned in short time alt that he had found that the terms Whitney and John Day JacksonN pired in September,
 The committee then again urged hss honor to appoint a labor man to one of the vacancies when they occurred and he said he would take the matter un- der consideration and again confer with the committee before making the app ! pointments.
 The committee then retired.
 On Sept 12, or, the committee not having heard anything from the mayor, wrote him reminding him that he had failed to keep his promise with them and as the time was close at hand when
