PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
 TO PRESIDENT HADLEy
IS CALLED RAREST AND SANEST ECONOMIC THINKER OF
 TO-DAY.

Statement of Vice President Byrnes of
 N. r., N. H. S H. Railroad at Eco-
 homie Club Banquet--President Had
 ley Defends Yale's System of Disci-
 pline-West Point Training Not the
 Kind to Produce Free American Citi-
 zens-Dr. H. E. smith Proposes Com-
 mittee of Citizens to Settle COnta-
 gious Hospital Question.
 The fourth annual dinner discussion of the Economic club of New Haven was held at the Tontine hotel last night About 150 covers were set at the excellent dinner served by Manager Nolan. The toastmaster of the occa- sion was Col Norris c. Osborn, in- stead of John w. Alling, the president of the club, who did not wish to act in that capacity. In opening the toast- master said that the subject for discus- sion was "The City of New Haven, Its Virtues and Weaknesses" He said each speaker was free to say what he pleased, but that Marquis of Queens bury rules were to be observed and that there must be no striking below the belt.
 The first speaker introduced was President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, who spoke on the relation of the uni- Wersity to the city. He said in part: "The university is trying to maintain the highest of standards, yet we must admit that it has some faults; but if you think that have come to discuss them you are sadly mistaken. They are rather of the kind to be considered prayerfully in one's closet The best that can be done Is to explain our ob- jects, and do the best we can. The uni versity has many wise men and some foolish ones. It has some boys who have yet to learn it's rules, and it con- tains some instructors whose views and teachings are narrow.
 It is well for New Haven that she has the advantage and presence of the university, which has made her known the world over, and to her disadvan- tage that she has some of the attend ant nuisances.
 It is sometimes asked why not have as at West Point, required studies and rules, and enforce them vigorously. To tais 1t is sometimes replied that the boys would not stand it. The fact is that if it was for their best interest they would be madeto stand 1t. The real explanation is that the West Point training is good for army officers, where everything moves with precision, but it is not the training to produce free American citizens. When man graduates from West Point he enters the army, and his duties are made clear by orders. In private life mans du- ties are not so clear. If you give a man West Point training here he might not make so many mistakes while here but he will make a great many in the future. The only way to

LOSS OF MAIL BOAT BERLIN
WITH SINGLE EXCEPTION ALL
 ABOARD PERISH.

One Hundred and Forty-three Persons
 Lose Their Lives--vesseI Wrecked as
 She is Entering Port After Weather-
 ing Severe GaIe-Terrihc Seas Swept
 the Ship.
 London, Feb, 21.-The worst disaster for many years in the history of the busy cross channel traffic between Eng land and the continent occurred dur ing Q violent gale shortly before 6 o'clock this morning, when the Rotter- dam mail steamer Berlin. from Har- wich to Hook of Holland. having safe ly weathered the hurricane was sudden ly wrecked as she was entering port. With one single exception all her passengers and crew. numbering alto gether 143 persons, lost their lives.
 The terrific seas broke up the steam ed with such awful suddenness that all effort to save life appears to have been entirely hopeless. At a late hour this evening it was reported that some few survivors were still clinging to the wreck but as the heroic efforts all day long of the lifeboat crews had failed to reach them, little hope that they would be saved was held out
 The third messaEe was timed at the Hook at T:52 and reached Harwich at $40 It said: 'The Berlin has broken lin two, and very probably will prove a total loss. Her crew are still on board, Lifeboats and tugs are trying to save the passengers"
 The fourth message came through the London office of the railway company. It was timed at the Hook at S:10 and said: Tt is impossible to reach the Berlin tonight to save the passengers. We will do the best we can. The poop of the ship Is under water"
 Then at 1O;S6 came the fifth and last message: "The Berlin is total loss, with all her crew and passengers. No- body has been saved.'
 No cause yet has been assigned for the terrible accident, and it probably never will be known how the steamer missed the channel which, although 300 yards wide and well buoyed and lighted is always difficult of access in rought weather. It Is coniectured that some Arrangement of the engines or steering gear may have rendered the vessel un- controllable Captain Precious of the Berlin had a good record of fourteen years service. The list of passengers on the fated steamer was lost, and all the names of those who were on board have not yet been learned, but as far as has been ascertained there were no Americans among the passengers.
 Among the drowned are Frauline Schoene of the Mannheim Court opera, who last week sang the Wagnerian parts of Elsa and Elizabeth at Covent Gardens; M. Oreilo baritone of Amster- dam, and NM. Stellmach and Memm- Ter, who all sang minor parts and Frauline Buttel, of the Court Theater at Berlin, and Fraulne Gobel, of the court theater at Dresden, who acted as leaders of the chorus during the Coyen Garden season.

FRANK MAO TIoAARs DEAD.
Killed by q Fall Going to His Apart
 ments,

New York, Feb. 21.-Frank Mac Wears, well-known actor, who for some time had been playing at the Savoy theater in this city, was found dead early to-day in the areaway lead ing to the basement of the Hotel Riv- oli, in West Thirty eighth street. His skull had been fractured, presumably by fall from the stone steps leading up to the first floor on the outside of the building. It is supposed that Mac Wears, who was very large man, slipped and fell into the areaway. The police, however, are making an inves- tigation into his death.
 MacVioars was about forty years old and had been playing the leading part in "The Man of the Hour" company at the Savoy. He came to New York from San Francisco shortly after the fire in that city. He was well known to theater-goers on the Pacific coast, from Vancouver to Los Angeles, having played in stock companies in all the large cities.

Vigorous Protest Against Allowing Voters to Decide for ThemseIves-.
 Mayors in Favor--Objection to The
 Giving of Moving Pictures--Number
 of Men Speak in Favor of a Liberal
 sunday--Hamden Representative for
 Sunday Baseball.
 Hartford, Feb. Aggressive onno- sdtion to popularizing Sunday by pass- ing legislation to permit of theatrical performances and permitting of the playing of baseball was evident in the hearing given by the judiciary commit tee on a number of bills concerning Sunday observance this afternoon. The supreme court room was damned with people, among the number being rnasly clergymen. A number of bills of soare- what similar import were grouped and heard together and the most opposition came on the house bill, which provides that upon the petition of twenty-tive voters the question of licensing places for theatrical performances or secular entertainments on Sunday may be del cided by a vote of the taxpayers. Rev. Mr. Stockdale of Meriden appeared in behalf of the Protestant ministers of that city to protest against any and all legislation which will pave the way to the general dissertation of the Sahbath by communities. V. Munger of Amso- mia vigorously protested against the bill allowing voters to decide the matter for themselves. In reply to a question by Mir. Gum, lle said that even if 5000 people in town wanted Sunday enter tainments he would be opposed to it, as it would be a violation of the statutes. Myron T. Smith of Hartford, represents ing the federation of churches. also op- posed all the bills and explained the Hartford situation. He was opposed to the giving of moving picture or Sunday night entertainments. He sadd there WviO uASOukIi 6Ool tdWS 10 OVSrn SucM thins, and prosecuting attorneys did not seem to look upon it in that way Public sentiment was with the nlfnis- Iters in this crusade He also said in reply to a question by Mir Gum that he was opposed to having the voters settling the matter Rev. Mir. Desdiei of Hartford also opposed the bills and claimed that Sunday entertainments had their inception with Q propaganda of theatrical managers in New York, who wanted to get into Connecticut and i establish circuit of Sunday night theaters. MT Gum frequently inter rupted the speaker, and MT. Gum said that he himself went to church Sunday mornings and played golf in the after- noon. He further said that the git1laa tion seemed to be this. Many years ago

MORE CONFESSIONS MADE
 BY EVELYN NESBIT THAW
YOUNG WIFE BREAKS DOWN UNDER STRESS OF CROSS
 EXAMINATION.

With Blinding Tears She Admits That
 After Her First Experience With
 Stanford White She Continued Her
 ReIatiOns-Terrible Personal Sacrifice Apparent = Defendant Almost Lost
 Sight of in the Great Interest Center-
 ing About Wife's Testimony.
 New York, Feb. .21.-Under the stress of a oss-eXamination, in which Dis trict Attorney Jerome gave no quarter, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw broke down to-day upon the witness stand. With blinding tears burning their way down cheeks, which from an ashen white had flushed to crimson, she admitted that after her first experience with Stanford White her relations with the Architect continued for several months. But this was not all. There were other confessions. which, while damaging to her own character, accentuated all the more the terrible personal sacrifice she is making in the effort to save her husband from death in the electric chair. The case has progressed to the point where the defendant has been all but lost sight of. His girl-like wife Is the figure about whom the storm lashes it's fury. She it is whose life Is being searched out, and who is being held up to scorn by the prosecuting officer,
 Thaw, his face buried in his hands, might easily have been out of the court room picture to-day, and none would have missed him. All eyes were upon the witness chair, and the slight figure in blue which occupied it. During the morning and at all times heretofore, Mrs. Thaw has had to sit on the edge of the chair in order that her feet might touch the floor To make her more comfortable for the long ordeal still ahead of her, foot stool and back cushion were provided during the afternoon. At the close of the most eventful day of the trial, MT. Jerome announced that he would probably keep Mrs. Thaw under fire for two more days Adjournment was taken until Monday morning, although at one time Justice Fitzgerald said that to accommodate out of town witnesses ile WDulu IlOlI court poIH lu-iiOlfoWi holiday, and Saturday
 There was no subject affecting the witness of so intimate a nature that the district attorney hesitated to haul from it's hiding place, and hold before the gaze of the world, all the while requiring that she should recognize and own the fault in her own damning words.
 When Mir Jerome was fiaying the witness with questions as to her re- lations with White carrying her from place to place, and demanding to know every detail, and while bitter tears were yelling to her eyes, two 'newspa- per women accustomed to harsh scenes of life, left their places In the court room. At last the prosecutor himself relentei somewhat, and suggested that

TLLEPHONE RATES,
General Investigation is Requested in
 Massachusetts.

Boston, Feb, 21--A general inyestiga- tion of telephone rates was requested to-day by counsel for subscribers at a hearing before the Massachusetts high way commission, on the subject of low CT rates for Boston and its suburbs. After remarks from Attorneys repre- senting both the company and petition ing subscribers, the hearing was con tinued for week.
 Several officers of the telephone company, who had been summoned by counsel for the petitioners, were not present, and it is said that they intend- ed to take no notice of the summonses. President Sherwin, of the company, ap- peared at the hearing, but as he de- elined to testify, counsel for the sub scribers stated that he would apply to the court for a legal summons. The question of reduced rates is now re- ceiving the attention of the telephone company, which expects soon to an nounce a new and in some ways reduc- ed schedule.

 Washington, Feb. 21.-Viscount Aoki called at the state department to-day to talk with Secretary Root over the programme to be followed in conduct ing negotiations for the preparation of a treaty relative to the restriction of Japanese coolie immigration into the United States.
 As the ambassador had been fully informed of all the steps leading up to the passage of the immigration act, and, in fact, had really suggested the adoption of measures to exclude Jap anese without passports, he was not disposed to criticise adversely what had been done by congress. Therefore, the way to resume negotiations for tt e projected restrictive treaty was regard Gu eLo UpCIli d4ld 4t 4S DC4lCNOu tlAeNN " fore the assembling of the next con- gress the new convention will be ready for the consideration of the senate.

 The Japanese of San Francisco have cabled strong appeal to Tokio, ask ing the government to support their cause, and pointing out that the re- strictton of Japanese immigration would eventually result in the extinc- tion of their compatriots residing in San Francisco.
 The Japanese newspapers have not commented on this appeal up to the present.

NO RoCKEFELLER MoNEY
Colgate Would Not Accept One Cent oi


 Boston, Feb. 21.--In an appeal for funds for the institution, Dr. Albert C. Lawson, general secretary of Colgate university of Hamilton, N. Y, said to- night at a reunion of the New England alumni:
 Colgate university will not accept one cent of the $32,OOO,OOO given by John D. Rockefeller for educational purposes nor will any of his money go to any Baptist college although Mir, Rockefeller is himself a Baptist"
 Dr. Lawson somewhat qualified this statement later in his speech when he remarked that no Baptist college in the east would accept the money al- though some western institutions might do so.
 Dean William H. Crawshaw, acting president of the university, in a brief address said that small colleges were growing faster than the large ones and that this was because in the small in stitutions there was more democracy. Among the other speakers were Prof. James M. Taylor and Prof, A, P. Brig ham of the university.

DEMOCRATS UNDER SMART
Resort to Systematic Objections to
 Sundry Civil Bill:

Sundry Civil Bill.
 Washington, Feb. 21. Snarting un- der what they consider unfair treat ment the democrats resorted to a sys- tematic series of objections against pro- visions in the sundry civil bill to-day in the house. They compelled the re- pubiicans to maintain 100 members, a quorum of the committee of the whole. The house passed a number of bills and resolutions including one calling upon the secretary of the navy for informa- tion regarding the repairs being made on the battleship Louisiana and as to whether the contractor had refused to make the repairs necessary and another enlarging the act relating to shanghai ing. Both the rivers and harbors bill and the naval appropriation bill were sent to conference.
 When Mir Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriations commit tee moved that the house resolve itself into the committee of the whole for the consideration of the sundry civil appro- priation bill and that general debate be limited or obligated to an hour, the motion was antagonized by MT. Sulzer of New York because it excluded a proposed speech by MT. Clark of F'lori- day on the management of the St. Elizabeth government insane asylum MT. Tawney explained the necessity for speedy action, but MT. Sulzer persisted in his objection and the house resolv- ed itself into committee of the whole The opposition under the lead of MT Sulzer demanded the first reading oi the bill and then for the first time al this session of congress the house list ened for nearly three hours to, the read ing of measure.
 Then Mir. Tawney explained the bill Mir. Taylor of Alabama, followed and the reading of the bill was begun un- der the five minute rule. Both Messrs Clark and Sulzer made points of order against sections and generally were overruled. Several times on demand g quorum was counted at tonight s session, many of the members appear ed in evening dress. At 1O:45 p. m. the committee rose having completed nine- ty-six pages of the bill and immediate ly thereafter adjourned.
