Very truly yours,


CHARLES H. JUDD.
1.-THE registration at the Yale Summer
school is 1875. This may be increased
somewhat during the week, but 1t will
not reach 207 which was the registra-
ton Of last year, The Summer school
was organized in 1905 in response to a
demand urgently expressed by superin-
tendents and principals in this state
that the university offer courses for
teachers. In 1905 there were forty-eight
teachers and principals from the public
schools of Connecticut registered in the
Summer school. Eighteen of these
were from New Haven. In 1905 the
registration of Connecticut public
school teachers dropped to thirty-sev-
en-, four of these being from New ia
ven. This year there is one teacher
from New Haven and there are nine
teen from other public schools in the
state, This shows very clearly that the
teachers of this state are not ready tC
undertake university courses, and the
university will not offer such courses
next summer"
| In taking the above statement, and
especially the part concerning the New
| Haven teachers, at true value, ont
thing must be taken into consideration
This is, that New Haven teachers have
the privilege Of taking any course il
the university, they desire, provided
| enough Of them signify their intention
of taking that course.
Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon
and Saturday morning, there were
courses which We're given especially fol
teachers. Such men as Pr)f. William
Lyon Phelps and Prof. Arthur Wheele
were the lecturers In these courses
which were in the main, literary, his
tory, philosophy and psychology cours

the courses for teachers, every one o
whom were Connecticut teachers. Ant
Of these 1885, thirty-two were from thu
New Haven schools. This does not in
clude any of those who We're takins
courses in the Sheffield scientific school
and to say that at least seven or eigh
were enrolled in the scientific courses
would not be exaggerating. Thus Their
] were about forty New Haven teacher
taking regular college courses.
When these facts are taken into con
sideration, 1t does not show the New
Haven teachers in such bad light
When approximately ten per cent. 0
this city's teaching force give up tn
little time they have outside Of tn
schoolroom, to strictly professional
work, as attendance on such courses is
| the matter appears In an entirely NOR
favorable light.

STARTLING CHARGES BY JEROME.
Court Adjourns Early To Give OPP
posing Counsel Chance to Pre-
pare For Today's Combat.

was not permissible under the rules of
evidence which have governed the tri-
al. He will proceed with his argument
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Jerome's contention is that while
he may not attack the truth or falsity
of Mrs. Thaw's statement that she
was betrayed by White, he can attack
the truth of her assertion that she
told the story to Thaw at the time
she says she did
Mr. Delmas first sought today to in
terrupt Hummers testimony by show
ing that he was acting as Evelyn Mes
bits legal adviser and counsel when
she made certain statements to him.
Hummel evaded this, however, by say
ing he was acting solely as Whites
counsel and no legal action had been
contemplated in behalf of Miss Nesbit.
He said he was paid yearly retainer
by Stanford White and could not say
exactly what he charged the architect
for drawing up the affidavit. Asked if
it was $1,000, he burst into laughter
and said absolutely it was not. He fin
ally placed the charge at "One hundred
dollars-about." When Evelyn Nesbit
was on the witness stand she said
Stanford White came to see her one
evening in 1908 and asked her what
she had told Hummel about him, add
ing that ABE Hummel had just
squeezed $1,000 out of me and the Lord
only knows how soon he will squeeze
another"
Young Mrs. Thaw's testimony re-
garding the affidavit was to the effect
that Stanford White had taken her to
Hummel'S office after telling her lots
Of horrid things about Harry" and that
she had told IIummel about her trip
through Europe with Thaw. She said:
Mr.. Hummel then dictated a lot Of
things to man and put in lots about
Harry Thaw which was not true at
all" She denied signing any papers ia
Hummel'S office, but admitted having
signed some papers later in Whites
studio. She claimed she did not know
what the papers were. Some time af-
forwards she says she demanded that
White show her the papers. She was
taken to Hummers Office and there q
paper bearing her signature was
shown her and burned. She was not
allowed to read it. she declared. AL

District Attorney Jerome has been
trying to put in evidence photograph
&c copies of the affidavit. 1t developed
yesterday that the copy was made by

about bringing the taking of testimony

have followed the trial believe that

away.

New York, March 13.-After a fore
noon session occupied ALMOST entirely
by District Attorney Jerome in bit
ter denunciation of the defendant ana
his wife. the trial of Harry K Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White, was
adjourned shortly after l. o'clock to-
day until tomorrow morning. The
prosecuting attorney found his oppor-
tunity to attack Thaw and Evelyn
Nesbit in an argument on the question
of the admssibility of the testimony
which Abraham Hummel the lawyer
who is under Indictment for suborna-
ton Of perjury in the Dodge Morse di-
worse case has to offer. 1t was to Ell
able Dolphin DelmaS, leading counsel
for the defence, to consult authorities
and frame a reply to Mr.. jerome and
also to allow the latter an opportunity
of completing the Hypothetical qucs-
ton which he is to put TO his experts.
that the early adjournment was order
ed. Mr.. Jerome declared that the peo-
pie hope to close their rebuttal cas-,
tomorrow evening.
During his argument today the dis
trict attorney TOOK on for the first time
since the case began. a sustained ora
torical tone. He asserted that Hum
mel would swear Evelyn Ncsbit told
him three days after her return from
Europe in 1903, that Thaw had beaten
her cruelty because she would not sign
Papers he had prepared. falsely accu3-
ing Stanford White cf having druggpl
and betrayed ,lcr. MI Jerome con
tended that she had told much more,
that TE9W seemed bent on putting
Stamford White in pcnitcntiary: that
the stttcmen that White had betrayed
her was not true: that Stanford
White had never harmed her, AMI
that ThaW was consumed with rage
when she refused to sign and swear to
the papers containing lies against
Stanford White
THESE things were put in the form
OF an affidavit" declared Mr.. jerome,
and that affidavit was subscribed to
by Evelyn NcSbit when she knew what
she was doing and what the paper con
tanned.
we want TO show that tho girl who
told this remarkable story here on the
witness stand. sworc nj another time
under the solcmnity Of an oath that
naked-Strippcd absolutely naked-shc
had endured the lashings and beatinrs
Of this defendant rather than swear
to his false statements that stanford
White had druggcd and ruined her"
Mr.. jerome argued that the mater
ial point Of the case is whether or not
Evelyn Nesbit told Thaw the story Of
her alleged ruin by Stanford White.
Without that story in evidence he de-
clarcd the reason for the defendants
alleged insanity disappeared. The
prosecutor plainly admitted the i'm
portancc Of young Mrs. ThaU's tcsti-
mOnY and he declared that he wished
by Hummers testimony to show her
own Reputation of the charges which
on the witness stand she renewed
against White.
Thus he concluded, "thc jury may
infer from her own statements after
her return from Europe in 1903 whcth-
er or not she had within two months
of that time told this defendant the
things she said she did"
Mr.. Delmas objected to Hummcl as
witness on the ground that his testi-
mony had to do with the truth or fall
sity of Mrs. Thaw's narration, and

Much Mooted Question at
Harvard Is Settled,
Professional Coaching In Any
Form To Be Abolished.
Several Other Radical Changes
Will Be Inaugurated.

Boston, March 13.-The long pending
que stion of whether Harvard would be
permitted to engage further in inter-
collegiate sports was disposed Of today,
when the Board Of Oversers of the col
le5c, accepting recommendations Of q
majority of Il special committe, voted
u authorize intercollegiate athletics,
though in 4 restricted form. This means
that football and other games will be
continued at Harvard, as the corpora
ton Of the university has already &C
ccptcd the report of the subcommittee.
The majority report reviewed at
length athletic conditions at the uni
verSity and paid Il tribute to the Har-
ward athletic committee for its accom-
rlishmeLt Of needed reforms But
still further reforms are necessary the
committee thought and the Board of
OVerscers agreed. The number of ath-
letic contests should be reduced. eX-
penScs on intercollegiate games should
he cut down and professional coaching
in any form should be done away with
as soon as possible.
Tho committee recommended that the
athletic committee use every effort to
secure concentrated action with other
colleges TO abolish professional, coach
ing. Other changes to become operative
include an alteration of the faculty
representation On the permanent attn
letic committee and a change in the
method of selecting the UNDERGRADUATE
members; the appointment Of y gradu-
ate manager Who will give Ill his time
to the office ana that tho surplus of
athletic receipts beyond the sums
needed for current expenses be devoted
To the cxtinguishmcnt Of The debt on
the stadium until that is paid and then
to reduce the gate receipts so that there
shall he only sufficient surplus for the
graduate department Of the athletic
grounds. a severe condemnation of
football is made by Moorlicld Storey,
the sole dissenting member Of tho COM
mittee Who presented a minority re-
port with The committee recommended
lions. Mr. Storey expressed the opinion
that football should he abolished en-
tirely on account of the abuses in the
gaIure. He presented q long statement
against the continuance Of football IN
which he quoted the remarks OF PreSl-
dent Eliot whD has repeatedly opposed
football.
Tho graduate members Of the athlet-
ic committee arc to be selected as at
present, but the faculty members, in
stead of being appointed by the corpor-
alton ana ovcrseers, will consist Of the
dean of the faculty Of arts and sciences,
the dean Of Harvard College, and the
dean Of the Lawrence Scientific School.

GRAIN GROWERS TRUST.

The organization of the grain grow
ers' combine, at Omaha, on Thursday
strikes us as an audacious and adroit
attempt at cinching up the grain inter-
ests of the country. There is bold
ress, a thoroughness, premeditatedness
about the whole thing that sounds ami
seems bit threatening; though its real
purposes may be of the best and
purest.
Time will tell just what it signifies,
end what it means to the farmer Of the
country, and we hope it will be among
the fair and decent agencies and not an
other crushing and blighting thing to
udue and despoil him. From the fact
that nearly 900 banks are registered as
ready to loan it money on given condi-
tions, means one of two things They
are in it for a campaign Of graft, or the
new combine is Of a sort that has won
the deepest respect Of the bankers and
cannot be overlook. We confess we do
not yet understand the drift of the
movement, and like a good many others,
will have to abide the time in patience
to discover what it is.
