FOR HARVARD CLUB
Plans on Foot to Organize One of Graduates Living in
 This State.
LOCAL MEN ON COMMITTEE
Organization Meeting Will Probably be Held Some Time Next
 Month.

A movement is now on foot in Con- nectieut, and especially locally, for the organization of a state Harvard club made up of graduates of the great Cambridge institution of learning While organization has not yet been effected, committee of five is now at work among the graduates of the uni yersity residing here to interest them in the movement. Another object of the committee is to find out how many Harvard graduates now reside in Con- necticut
 The committee, which consists of these five members-Mr. Hyde and Att torney Williams, of Hartford Attor- ney Hartman and Rev. James beWolf Perry, jr.. of this city, and Louis Rer- ry, of Bridgeport, is to report at a meeting, at which it is hoped 0 effect organization, in February No date or place has yet been set for this meet ing.
 The idea of the Connecticut club originated with some of the graduates who are now members of the Connect icut Valley club, which includes cen tral Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, as we'll as part Of this state. The desire for separate state club has led, to the appointment of this committee. which is hard at work on ways and means and the feasibility of the new organization
 There is talk also of holding ban quet when the club has been firmly organized. No headquarters is to be set, but meetings will be held at va rious places, as determined upon.

HARTMAN MUST ANSWER
Court Directs Him to Reply to Ques-
 tions of Commission.

New York Jan. is,--Judge Hough, of the United States circuit court, handel down an opinion to-day directing Otto H. Kahn, g member of the banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb < Co.,. to answer all questions propoundeds to. him by the in- terstate commerce commission F. IT. Harrinfsi was directed to answer all questions except those relating to the purchase of Union and Southern Paei- fic stock In connection with the divi- dend of August 1906
 While the exceptions were regarded as important questions by the govern nent lawyers who were investigating the reorganization of the Chicago & Alton railroad. they constituted only a small proportion of those which Harri- man refused to answer
 The clash between the witness and the commission arose on February 25 Of last year For several days the in- vestigators had been endeavoring to get at the bottom of MT. Harriman's transactions relative to the Chicago & Alton. The question which marked the beginning of the controversy was this:
 Did you own any of the Chicago & Alton preferred stock sold by the syn dicate to the Union Pacifc?"
 Immediately Mir Rarriman's lawyer, John G. Milburn, contended that the inquiry was not within the scope of the federal investigation, Frank B. Kellogg, the governments attorney, took the contrary view. The outcome, MT. Hartman declined to answer a number of questions as to stock deal ings on the ground of personal prfvl- lege

STABS HIS FAMILY
Genorbezi Uses Knife on His
 Wife and Brother-in-Law.

A family quarrel at 132 Hamilton street last night resulted in the stab- ping of Rose Genorbezi and her brother, Antonio Parrotta, followed by the escape of the principal assailant, Amelio Genorbezi, the husband of Rose.
 Antonio has been boarding for some time with his sister and brother-in- law. and life has not been all harmo- nious Last night shortly after the relations reached an acute stage, and Amelio decided to no longer take boarders. Just what happened next is a question which may become known when the case comes to trial, but the people who passed the house on their way home from the clock shop thought that murder was being done
 Patrolmen Farrell and Walsh arriv- ed on the scene and arrested Rose and her brother. Ameiio Genorbezi, the man of the house. is still without the clutches of the law.
 Mrs. Genorbezi is considerably cut up over the affair. Her brother has a severe bruise on the head and the inn prints of knife on his hand

ANOTHER STREET SINKS
Grown Street May Also Have Defective
 Sewer.

A sinking of the street similar to the one which happened on York street a short time ago. has occurred on Crown street. near York. The sinking on York was found to be caused by a faulty sewer connection. Whether the cause on Crown street is the same has not vet been learned. but Director Fo- ley and Mir Mulvey are sparing no ef- fort to find out.
 Though a broken sewer connection does not necessarily mean the sewers themselves are poor. these particular ones are not to be trusted. The sewers on both of these streets were built be- fore New Haven had a sewerage sys- tn. and date back to 1869. when the ctiv employed no permanent engineer ing department. No mars were made Of these old sewers. but after there was a regular department, most of these old sewers were surveyed and maps made of them. as it became ne- cessary At the present time there are seven miles Of old unmapped sewers in the city. but this amount IS constantly being lesseHed.

TRIED TO PASS A FORGED CHECK Demand for S380 Signed Bruno Schubert Presented at
 Yale National
 Bank.
CASHIER IS SUSPICIOUS
Applicant Makes Good His Escape While an Investigation is Being Made Over the
 Wire.

A clever attempt to pass a forged check was made at the Yale National bank yesterday afternoon when a good looking man of medium build passed over the counter check for s5SO signed apparently by Bruno Schubert of 1915 State street. agent for Fred Oppenheim, and asked to have the check cashed. With the check he presented letter purporting to be from MT. Schubert which read: Yale National bank
 Dear sirs: Enclosed you will please find check for $3S0. which you will kindly cash for bearer. and oblige,
 BRUNO SCHUBERT.
 The writing was almost exactly like that of MT. Schubert. and the sigma ture would have passed for his any where.
 The amount of the check and the fact that the man who wanted it cashed was unknown led the bank of ficials to investigate
 The teller called up MT. Schubert on the telephone, but before he could get him, he turned around and dis covered that the man was gone. The police were immediately informed, but the former holder of the check had disappeared
 Conversation was later held with MT, Schubert and he said that he had issued no such check or written such note. As both were dated January ls they were apparently written yes- terday. The people connected with the bank say that they never saw the man before. and have turned over the check and the note to the detective de- partment.

MIR. ASHER INTERRUPTED
Mrs. Asher Away and the Men Grew
 Troublesome Several Times.

Troublesome Several Times
 The saloon church of New Haven had it's first real difficulty last evening. when it held its services at the Cor gress hotel at the corner of Congress avenue and Temple street. perhaps that was because the newly-made dea- con-he whom Asher calls Bud--was not present. Perhaps it was tbe dea- con that Mir Asher referred to during his talk when he spoke of seeing one of the men he had converted in th1 saloon meetings in New Haven drivine a wagon yesterday. And it wasn't water wagon either,' he quickly added. "Naw probably it was Salvation ar my wagon broke in one of the con- gregation. The remark was more witt ty than he perhaps realized
 One of the men was referred to by MT. Asher as ''Hartford" q number If times. He had followed ther'saloon meetings in that city lcn the evange- lists were holding iests spring. The man interrupted the sermon, if that is the proper word to call MT. <ASliSl ; ldlhS, SeNcIdl tllneS and had to be told to shut up" in language that was not sugar-coated by trs evangelist several times, Igt he was one of the first to hold up his hand, though. big and black and dirty as 1t was, at the end when a call for show of hands of all who wanted to be prayed for was asked for.
 Perhaps.the reason why the men did not keep as good order last night as they had almost invariably on evenings before was because Mrs. Asher was not present. She had to go to Meriden last night, as Mir Asher explained, to arrange for the revival which is to be held there as soon as the Chapmans get through here.
 MT. Asher spoke on the subject Tho Prodigal Son" He had not proceeded far when there was an interruption from one of the ''back pewsp A big. fat man was objecting to having younger man blow cigarette smoke into his face. MT. Asher rose equal to the

NOT FOR HUGHES
New York Republican County Committee Again Fails to
 Endorse Him.
OPPONENTS EvADE ISSUE
Debate Characterised by Bitter In. vectives and Frequent In.
  terruptons.

New York. Jan. 16-An attempt to force consideration of the tabled reso- lution endorsing Governor Hughes for the republican nomination for presi- dent was defeated tonight at what was probably the stormiest session in the political history of the New York Republican county committee. After nearly three hours of debate character ized by bitter invectives and frequently drowned down by cheers, misses and cat calls. an adjournment for one month was taken with nothing more than routine business having been transacted
 A vote on the straight question of endorsing Governor Hughes or any other presidential candidate was never reached, the time of the committee be- ing taken up with appeals from the ruling of the chair and other minor issues. There was no doubt of the yelled issue, however, and the out Spoken supporters of the governor lined squarely against those who are either friendly to the candidacy of Secretary Taft or opposed to any endorsement by the committee at this time.
 At it's meeting in December the county committee tabled a resolution endorsing Governor Hughes as a can- didate before the republican national convention Ii was then understood that while it's opponents believed the launching of the governors candidacy
 If not ill-advised is at least premature, that definite disposition of the resolu- ton would be made tonight. Preced- ing the session this evening however, the executive committee met and a line up showed an opposition to Governor Hughes of 22 to l3 in the sub-commit- tee.
