ALDERMAN BUDLONG
EXPECTS, TO VOTE

DR.. j. c. Budong. who is alderman from
the Fourth ward. says he intends 10 make
every effort TO be present and vote when
the question OF electing a successor TO Col.
Harold j. Gross on the police commission
comes before the board OF aldermen.
Concerning his attitude on the police
comrnissionershp. he says: II have not
committed myself TO any candidate and
do not Intend TO do so. I have personal
preference; but whether my preference
would be for the best interests Of the
city, I am not so decided but that / might
be convinced to the contrary"
II tho aldermen should not confirm the
mayors nominee next Monday evening,
and hold the question open until after
Jan. 81. there Will, he a vacancy i'm the
police commission, as Col. Gross can not
hold over.
The law as IL existed when he was elect
cd by the senate did not provide for hold
ing over until his successor is elected and
qualified; and as amended by the last gem
eral assembly II provides only for the
holding over of members chosen after the
amendment was adopted.
II would thus be possible under the law
to force the city TO rely on two commits
sioners who might be at loggprheads for
whole year. and neither could. there
fore, command the department.

YALE ATHLETES
ARE LONGER LIVED
THAN ARE OTHERS

New York. Jan. 3-Dr William G.. An.
Yale university. is about 10 publish re-
port in the yale Alumni Weekly to the eff
feet that college specialized athletes live
longer and are sounder i'm after life than
those that did not distinguish themselves
in athletics during their undergraduate
days
lie bases this conclusion on an ex-
haustive statistical investigation of the
mortality among members OF Yale teams
and that among general graduates during
the last 80 years He finds that OF 1892
students in academic and Sheffield school
classes from 1855 20 1905 inclusive, 1906 are
dead and 95l6 living The percentage OF
deaths here is 1872 per cent.
OF the S07 athletes during the same
period, SO are dead, or a percentage OF ~,
or only a little over half the general
graduates. Consumption was responsible
for 10 OF the 5s deaths but he says, in the
case OF the athletes. the percentage of
men dying from this cause was not
greater than the expected deaths among
non-athletes from similar cause.
Deaths from heart disease were four a
very low average. he declares
Pneumonia carried off six and typhoid
fever five and nine OF the IS athletes met
violent deaths. of which two were suicid-
al. DR.. Anderson holds that while the
Yale men who reached honors in the major
than the ordinary mans share OF long life
IL is yet unproven whether this is due 20
his development as an athlete or his origi-
nal strength and IL seems likely TO remain
so until some more perfect plans OF COM
parison can be found.

ly agreed that Miss Kalich and her COM

ingly recognized. Her voice is OF excellent
tonal qualities and her style OF acting has
often been compared to that OF the ia
