SHEPARD SUIT OFF
Vanderbilt's Grandson, Former Yale Student, Withdraws
 Action for Libel.
DEAN WRIGHT TESTIFlES
With Campus Officer Donnelly He Gives Details of Vanderbilt Hall
 Escapndc in 1894.

The New York Evening Sun of yes terday gives the following details of the action for libel taken by Elliott r shepard, a former student Of Yale The The Sun says;
 Elliott r shepard, son of the late Elliott r, Shepard and grandson of the late William H Vanderbilt did not appear today before Justice Hen trick. In the supreme court. when hls suit to recover s3o.OOO from the Sun Printing and Publishing association for alleged libel was called
 Ills counsel, Hays & Hlrschneld, ask ed for two weeks adjournment. Col Franklin Bartlett counsel for the Sun said he was ready 10 proceed to trial q once, but said that he would consent to the case being passed for the day subject to the engagement of MT Hays before Justice O'Gorman
 Hays & Hirschfield said that they desired an adjournment, and would prefer to have the court dismiss the suit on their application for an ad- journment The court promptly dis ! missed the suit.
 On Aug, l3, 1902 the Sun published an article setting forth that Esther Wiggins shepard had sued her hus- band, Elliott F, shepard, for a divorce and relating certain alleged dolngs of Shepard before his marriage in tho Yale dormitory while he was student there.
 Col Franklin Bartlett was appointed by Justice Stectler in the supreme support of Mrs. shepard's divorce suit, In which Howe X Hummel appeared as her counsel Testimony was heard by | Col Bartlett. but before the suit was concluded Shepard and his wife became reconcllcd and went to Paris, France to live
 Just before the two years limitation i for the institution of such suit i elapsed. Shepard began his suit for li- bel against the Sun. Col, Bartlett, as counsel for the Sun, put in an answer justifying the publication.
 Recently Col. Bartlett went to New l Haven and took the dispositions of sev- eral witnesses whose testimony he ex- i pected to use at the trial today. The dispositions are on file in the supreme court Among the deposltions Is that of Henry P. Wright, dean of Yale col- Gege
 Did you know a student named El- liott r. shepard?' he WIS asked
 "Yes"
 "Was there any other Elliot F. shep- ard at Yale?'
 There has not been since have l been dean"
 Are you familiar with the occasion of the City Guard ball with which El- liott r. Shepard was connected?'
 "l remember about it.
 What were the circumstances?

1t was I don't think he ever got through"
 You know the nature of the young women, you know their status?' ''l do not, responded the Dean. When did Elliott F. Shepard leave oollege?"
 As l remember 1t, that afternoon" Us this extract which l read to you, that appeared Tn the New York Sun, on Aug. l3, 1902 substantially cor rect He (meaning Elliott F Shep- ard) left Yale in his freshman year owing to an escapade with some the atrical young women, which began at the City Guard ball and ended on the Yale campus in the college buildings. Is that statement substantially true?" inquired Col Bartlett.
 Yes, l see no objection to It." an swered Dean Wright,
 Well, is 1t true?"
 Tt Is true I would like to look at it, If may" After looking at the news paper the dean said; Yes, that's cor rect"
 "ls your memory generally good Dean?"
 Yes"
 Dean Wright deposed that he did not see the women in question and did not know what their character was
 Were you told the type of women they were?" inquired Col Bartlett
 There wouldn't be any doubt about that A man can't take to his room in Yale college from 1 to o'clock in the morning women"-
 "I just want to have 1t noted upon the record the fact that MT Wright doesn't know that these young women were theatrical young women" said B & Horkheimer, of counsel for Shepard. NO, don't know" said the dean but simply know that they were im- proper women or they wouldn't have been taken there at that time of night"
 Well, do you know the type of wo- men, were you told the type of women that Mir Shepard had taken to his room on the night of the City Guard ball referred to in this artIcle?"
 Tt would be rather hard for mo to recall that, It is go long ago, just what was told me"
 Did you know, as fact, that they were not related to Mir shepard?'
 "Yes."
 "Is 1t against the rules for a student to take to his rooms from a City Guard ball, at o'clock in the morning. wo- mon that he has met at that hall?'
 What do you mean by rules?'
 "ls 1t against the discipline of the college7"
 Yes, sir, 1t is against the discipline of the college for student 10 take to his room women at that hour of the night"
 And lt pas because Shepard had taken women to his rooms at that hour of the night that he was forced to withdraw from Yale college?' lnquir- ed Col. Bartlett,
 Yes" responded the dean.
 DO you know of your own knowl- edge that these young women were bad women. and not merely imprudent and unconventional women?"
 "I hay no immediate knowledge of it, of course.'
 Did Mir. Shepard leave Yale of his own accord or did he receive official dismissal?'
 The matter never came before the faculty"
 "DIi you intimate to Mir. Shepard that he would have to leave college as a result of ths?"
 'lf he hadn't left it would have come before the faculty and he would

se'~N~ <->~~>-@N S-~~N~~ As to OLIVE OIL
 1 N T I N S.
Ahollt nnce in sn often

About once in so often, we get a "kick" on Olive Oil in tin-and ninety-flye times in one hundred it's weeks, sometimes months, after the date of purchase. You say the Oil was all right when first opened; what has caused 1t to change ?
 Here's the answer.
 Olive Oil Is as sensitive 10 heat, light and exposure 10 the air as fresh sweet Butter and should be treated accordingly. Except in weather cold enough to freeze it solid, keep the lin In the lce-box. A good way 10 insure it's keeping perfectly sound until used up is to place it in bottles that have first been thoroughly cleaned and dried then corked tightly. Ninety-nine per cent. of the complaints of Olive Oil come from its having been allowed to lie around in a ho, kitchen. In word-carelessness lack of thought in the handling.

NAVAL ORDERS.
Change in Firing Orders for Guns Out
side Turrets-Marines' Pay.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The require
ment in naval regulations of reporting
bore clear" before loading, has been
RENTED IN the case of guns not
mounted in turrets. Its execution in
these cases interferred with the rapid
ity of fire in the broadside guns, prin-
cipally those of the 6-inch class in
which it is said there is no danger OF
accidents of the character which the
order requiring the report of bore
clear" was destined to prevent In guns
in turrets the regulation requiring no
tice Of bore clear remains in force
An order has been issued at the navy
department providing that enlisted men
of the marine corps regularly detailed
as signal men by the brigadier general
of the corps are to receive the same
compensation in addition to their
monthly pay as is now allowed the en-
listed men IN the army.
