NOpcCldl 70 JouInaI-COurler.)
Stamford, Nov PA mild sensation
was created here this afternoon when
it was announced that Mrs. Mary III.
Morse, wife of Gardner Morse, of New
Haven, had brought suit for $40,

she came from New York unwillingIy,
and proposed to return that evening,
but Or. Givens said 1t was too late

HAD NO CONFERENCE
Coach Roper Of Princeton
Met Neither Knox, Camp
Nor Biglow.
STOKES ALSO LEFT OUT
Meeting to Smoke the Pipe of
Peace May be Held at
Cambridge.

Contrary to a published report, there
was no conference here yesterday be-
tween Coach Roper, of Princeton. and
Captain Biglow Walter Camp and
Head Coach Knox, of Yale, in regard
to the extra minutes which the Yale
eleven stayed off the field between the
halves in last Saturdays contest, and
over which the Princeton graduates
have raised something of a charge OF
unfairness against the Yale coaches.
Hearing of a proposed meeting, Mr..
Camp, Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Biglow wait
ed at the New Haven house yesterday
for Mr.. Roper until 1t seemed that il
they waited any longer they could not
catch the train for Auburndale on
which the football squad went. Mr.
Roper did not appear, and Secretary
Stokes, who had been apprised that
the Princeton coach intended to see
him also, waited the entire afternoon
without seeing the Tiger guide.
The Yale coaches are very much put
out over the charge of unfairness
brought against them, and especially
on the knock at Walter Camp which
appeared In the New York Evening
Post. They were anxious yesterday to
do anything in their power to explain
to Mr. Roper, and were disappointed
when he did not come. The Yale
coaches claim that they should have
been Informed when the appointed in
termission was over.
Mr.. Roper is going to the Yale
Harvard game at Cambridge to-mor-
morrow and it is probable that there
he will see Mr. Camp, Mr. Knox and
Captain Biglow, and that the matter
will be satisfactorily explained.

HE APPEALS FOR

Board of Finance Takes No Ac-

May at the Next
Meeting.

John T. Sloan threw a bcmbsheii
into the camp Of the city bsausifui
committee last night. The projec4sae
landed at the meeting Of the beard Of

ably clean.
Mr. Sloan said he intended to bO
present himself, but for some reason
which he did not state, was unable
to be.
"Mr. Mayor" said City Clerk nd
ward A. Street shortly after the regu-
lar weekly meeting Of the board OPEN
ed in the office Of Director James B.
Coe of the public works department.
there is communication before the
board tonight from John T. Sloan re-
garding the city beautiful" 49,
You may read It," said MI
John P. Studley.
Gentlemen the letter read, II h&
hoped to appear before you In oppoSsS
ton to any appropriation for the ciky
beautiful scheme.
IT there Is any money to spare 1t
would seem that better use might be
made Of 1t by malSing an effort TO
keep the streets reasonably clean. AS
Il look out Of my Office window in
Center street which is always dirty,
and generally muddy or walk through
| Church or State street, Wooster,
Chapel street, and Grand avenue, I
wonder if they are ever cleaned; and
at the same time ] wonder If It 1s
sensible to try to make great show
in one place and leave the rest to take
care of itself.
III you gentlemen will locK at
! Wooster Square and many OF the
small parks in the Gitv you will see
where money can be used to give
pleasure to more people than by
spending great deal in such a small
| space.
The scheme reminds me of a for
ner citizen Of New Haven who used to
walk around the streets In bare feet
and wearing a high hat"
THAT was old man Beckwith,' said
Mayor Studley sotto voce. He used
to wear a high fur cap-the almanac
man, you know. Used to be very
familiar figure on the streets Of New
Haven
Beyond hearing the communication
of Mr.. Sloan read by City Clerk street
no action was taken upon 1t. II was
placed on file and may be resuscitated
at the next regular meeting OF the
board, next week, which is expected to
| take some action as to the appropria-
ton of $4,000 to promote the city
beautiful scheme, this money being in
tended for the development Of plans
along that line,
The board Of alderman had conn

story brick on the corner of Fourth
avenue and Twenty-sixth street, to be
used as a store, and costing 5000, will
be erected by the Birmingham Terminal

be rented for revenue to the company.
Moore & Handley have built a one
story warehouse near their present build
ing.
However, contractors have been COM

JANUARY'S FIRE
LOSS VERY SMALL
NOT A HOUSE WAS BURNED TO
THE GROUND DURING MONTH.
TOTAL LOSSES NOT OVER FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Not a house has been burned to the
ground during January nor has there
been n fire in the business section of the
town. This is the most remarkable record
for the first month in the year In the
memory of the force. on account of
the fact that January is generally a
vigorously cold month, 1t has usually
been the worst for the fire department,
but the warm summer days have brought
no great catastrophes.
Perhaps the worst injury done to any
one building was to that of r. p Means
on South Twenty-irst street. most of
the roof being destroyed. Out OF thirty
six alarms, several have been false and
not one has been an ugly fire.
Although the losses have not been COM
piled, 1t is probable that they will not
run over $500, II as much. The firemen
have been practicing regularly. and are
prepared for more work during Feb
ruary
