SOPHOMORES WIN
Drag Freshmen to Elm Street
in Omega Lambda Chi
Night Rush.
ALSO TAKE THE RELAY RACE
Fitzpatrick Closes Up Lead Enough TO
Make Contest Closc--Trailic
lmpcded.

Omega Lambda Chi night was cele-
brated in royal style on the Yale
campus last evening and the sopho-
mores came out victorious in all the
athletic events. The procession was
formed at about o'clock and headed
by the Second regiment band marched
slowly down College street, the stu
dents singing the omega Lambda Chi
songs.
Returning to the campus, the ath-
letic events took place, The fresh
men and the sophomores had their
tug of war and before ten minutes
was over the sophomorcs had dragged
the freshmen out into Elm street. The
event was declared won by 1910 and
the rope was Immediately cut into
pieces and carried under guard to the
Hutchinson,
Then came the relay races. The
four sides Of the campus were given
over to the different relays. by the
time the men reached the home
stretch the sophomore runner vas way
in the lead. Fitzpatrick, the freshman
athlete, ran for the class Of 1911 on
the stretch however and brought down
the lead until ii was hardly percopti-
BILE.
incidentally the crowd held up the
/ traffic on York and Elm streets for
few minutes, but no attempt was
made to throw the trolleys or to do
any damage to property Two year1
ago on Omega lambda Chi night the
present junior class got into a miXup
with the police on York street srd
reserves were called out
Five Of the most prominent MEM
bers Of the class were arrested, but
after being convicted Of outrageous
crimes in the city court, went to the
upper court and won out.
Noticeable in the throng last night
was william A. Goebel the football
guard who had a little trouble with
the police last week. lIe was one OF
the chief sophomores and the large
number of track and football men In
1910 prevented any possibility If 1911
winning out.

CANDLE TESTS MADE
State Experiments for Court I'm Arson
Case.

&HSr.
The arson charges against Bernard
J. Druen and his son. Frank r. Druen,
who are held for causing the fire which
broke out In three separate places in
their building at II Hamilton street on
the night of April 90, started yesterday
In the city court but the case Of the
state had not been completed when
court adjourned for the day and the
case went over until Friday morning
to allow the students cases to come
on again today. The entire session yes
terday afternoon was taken up with
the testimony Of Fire Marshal Gladwin
who told of the conditions he had found
afterwards that led to the belief Of in
cendiarlsm The fire marshal introduced
a great quantity of exhibits, including
partly burned candles from the fire,
other things taken from the place. An
interesting part Of the case was the ex-
perimentlng In the use of candles by
which the court was shown the length
Of time It would take a candle to burn
down to certain point so as to set fire
to something arranged for the purpose.
It Is understood that the state has
five more witnesses to put on after the
fire marshal has concluded his testl-
mony The case will probably occupy
all Friday.

ASKS TEN BISHOPS
Methodist Episcopacy Commit
tees Report To day Will
Be a Surprise.
NO CHANGE IN ADJUSTMENTS
Committee, by Decisive Vote, Declares
Against Recommendation of
the Bishops.

Baltimore, May 1s.-It Is reported to-
night on what seems excellent authorl-
ty that the report of the committee on
Episcopacy which will be presented to
the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference tomorrow, will be in the nat
ure of surprise in that 1t will recon-
mend the election of ten bishops, 1t
has been generally thought that the
number would be eight, but in the past
few days owing to the publication of
figures showing the great cost of the
episcopacy, the impression has be-
come prevalent that the Number would
be less than eight. While the sessions
of the committee are private, 1t is un-
derstood that a portion of the commit
tee favored recommending that seven
bishops be elected, where as the re-
mainder advocated ten and that the
latter have prevailed. The present
bishops are said to have favored a
smaller number than any of those
mentioned six, in point of fact. How
ever, there seems probability that
when the report is laid before the con-
ference the number finally decided
upon and elected will be eight.
Second only in interest to the election
OF bishops, perhaps, Is the final action
on the paragraph Of the church dsci-
pline relating to amusements touching
which the address Of the bishops rec
ommend the excision of dancing, card
playing and certain other words from
the paragraph. BY decisive vote the
committee on the state Of the church.
TO which the matter was referred, de-
cided today to recommend to the con-
ference that the paragraph on amuse-
ments remain as 1t now stands and
thus negatived the recommendation Of
the bishops The vote In committee
was nearly three to one against max
ing any change.

BARRY NOT APPRECIATED
william j. OBricn Tells of Revolu-
tionary Naval Hero.

In tho hall OF the New Haven Colony
Historical society last night William ].
O'BrIen of this city read an interesting
historical paper on the career and SER
vice Of Commodore Jonn Barry OF re-
evolutionary fame. Mr.. OBrien contend
ed that John Barry and not Paul Jones
was the real founder of the American
navy, and that he was not accorded his
proper place In history, nor was his
true merit recognized by the United
States government. The speaker main
tained that as his career, according to
the facts which he presented was
greater and of more benefit to the
American cause in the revolution, he
should be placed higher in the list Of
naval heroes than Jones, and should
be given first place In the navy as
Washington Is In the army.
MIR. O'Brien held that President
Roosevelt had committed an error In
judgment when he allowed the signal
honors that were said few years ago
to Jones, and neglected the merits of
Barry, Until he Ia accorded a place by
the side of Jones In the great mauso-
leum at Annapolis the proper recogni-
ton Of Barry Will never be given, and
the speaker declared that It was u
shame to the country that he was not
given his due. ...,,
The speaker further lnveighed
against the fact that Jones Is held up
by historians in school histories as the
great founder OF the American navy.
and its foremost figure during the rev.
olution, lie declared the position ac.
corded to him IN the school historic
is not borne out by the facts of his.
tory;
A very interesting account Of the ca
reer and services of the leader were
given and at the. conclusion a hearty
vote OF thanks was given Mr.. OBrien
for his careful paper,

DEMOCRATS AT WAR
Pete McNerney to Oppose John
Mcfarland for General
Registrarship.
HAS A LARGE SUPPORT
Expected Turning Down of Deputies
Stlrs Up Fighting Faction In
the Ranks.

The unexpected changes in the list
of deputy registrars IN the democratic
party has stirred up lot Of dissension
In those ranks, so much so IN fact that
a faction has arisen which Is to nom
mate and 1t says elect, Peter j. Nc
Nerney, now registrar in the Second
ward to the general registrarship at
the next election On just when TINS
election Is to be there seems to be a
division of opinion, some saying that
Mr. Mcfarland, who succeeded Fran
els w. Foley when he became director
OF public works, holds only until the
coming state election In the fall Oth-
ers, and they appear to be right, main
tain that Mr.. Mcfarland holds until
the next city election, when the term
of Mr.. Foley runs out. Whenever the
election, this year or next, Mr., McNer-
ney will be a candidate and be nom
mated against Mr. Mcfarland, IL that
gentleman stays In the race.
With McNerney in the field against
Mcfarland the democratic primaries
would assuredy be warm. He, it is
said, would have the backing of the
Avis forces. with which he was allied
last fall and which Is said to be one
reason that he is slated to go. Then
also he would have behind him the
Mccain faction which only a few
weeks ago showed itself in force
against the administration crowd and
his close association with this branch
of the party is said to be another
cause for removal or that Is no reap
polntment. When asked If 1t was true
that he was to be a candidate for the
top office he answered, 1T certainly is
I'm going out for it and I'm going tc
get II. too"
II the plans as talked about among
the administration crowd are followed
out, they being to wit that not only
McNerney but several Of the other reg
istrars are TO get 1t in the neck, Mr.
McNerney's. claim that he would wiz
the nomination, and consequently the
election, will be no idle boast because
enough dissension will be stirred up
among the friends of the old-liners whC
are said to be looking retirement in thu
face, to carry the primary for anyone
who might be named In opposition e
the administration candidate, to say
nothing Of Pete" McNerney, who is {
power in himself. The intention of Mr.
McNerney and his friends to run hin
for the general registrarship has beer
known for several days and there i
now some talk of hedging on the par
OF those who were going to do the GUST
ing They are beginning to realize tina
II they can't be the whole thing the!

mands are righteous. The conference
at Washington last week was one OF
unusual interest and Importance. The
question Of consclencless waste In
