Townshend Woman in an Automobile
Accident.

Mrs. Frank Pierce Of Townshend barely
escaped a serious accident while driving
home from Brattleboro the other day.
In front OF c. w. Parsons's house she
met an automobile and signaled for it to
stop, knowing that the horse was afraid.
Her signal was not needed, however, and
the horse sprang out OF the road and ran
up against NJ. o. Howe's barn door,
breaking one shaft Of the wagon and de.
stroying Mrs. Howe's flower garden which
lay in its path. After a short time spent
in making repairs Mrs. Pierce drove the
rest of the distance home, meeting anoth-
err automobile but experiencing no further
trouble.

Bra,,leboro's Res.ful Res, Room.

The correspondent went 10 Braitlcboru
the other day. Not that there u any,
thing remarkable in that, but she had
read somewhere that there was rest
room there and, dimly remembering that
IL was on Elliot street, walked down that
street in search of t. Now some way
she had gotten the impression that II
was ON the first floor and as she saw no
sign OF il concluded that she must have
been mistaken in the street Later, upon
inquiry of friend, she found that II
was over the meat market in the Elmer.
son block ON Elliot street. the stairway
going up just beyond the market. As she
has found since her return that several
people have looked for the room in vain
she adds that il will pay them TO try
again the very next time they 90 To
Brattleboro. The room is not only rest
room but rcstful room, prettily fur
nished with comfortable chairs and table
filled with books and magazines. There
one can eat her lunch from a spotlessly
clean table with the addition OF tea, cof-
fee or cocoa for the small sum of five
cents. One can buy fancy articles or
home made bread and cakes, and, last
but not by any means least, one may
ask all necessary questions OF pleasant
faced woman who is glad to see her there.
Surely the Brattleboro w. c. I. U. ought
TO be allowed to wear two white ribbons
for establishing such a room. IL is free
to all and you may contribute or not as
you please to the rest room mite box.

TAKE THREE GAMES
Elizabeth Interstate Bowlers Roll Poorly in the Series
 With the Locals.
HUBER IS HIGH MAN
And Has Greatest Number of Marks Clauss, of the Visitors, Cap
 lures High Single.

The Elizabeth interstate bowlers showed up poorly last evening in their series with the strong New Haven az gregation and were unable to get single game. The local bowlers know ing that it was easy money failed to work in their accustomed form. They had no life in them, there was no life in the balls, there was no life in the pins and there was little more in the crowd of fans. Probably the visitors dissipated looking condition can be ac- counted for by the fact that they had to travel all of the way from the New Jersey town to the Elm City by boat. They appeared to be all in, down and out, and their scores agree with this reasoning.
 The local five at times had spasms of that dash and vim which usually accompanies their playing. Janswick went from one extreme of rolling to the other. In the second game Arthur got a score of 225 and in the third game he got 149. Swift rolled the most steady game with Otto Huber a close second. Huber had the highest scores for the three games, his total being 597.
 Spittenhouse rolled the best series for Elizabeth, his total being 563 Claurs hit the pins for PIP in the final game getting high single Nolte rolled like New Haven city leaguer. getting scores under 150 in the first two games and but slightly over in the third.
 feature of the game was the roll ling of the locals in the final game when Swift, Huber. Collett and Charlie Johnson all got strikes in the last frame. Swift and Huber each got an other strike, but didn't strike out. Collett and Charley Johnson both struck out.
 Otto Huber had the greatest num- Der of marks, his number being 27. Janswick was tied for second with Potham of Elizabeth, both having 26.

INJURY TO BOXING
Gross Newspaper Exaggera. tions That May Kill the
 Sport Here.
"JUDICIAL'S" OBJECTION
Local Writer Taken to Task-Has Made Himself Liable to
 Prosecution.

Ihe sporting editor of the Journal Courier is in receipt of letter signed Judicial" calling attention to the fact that certain signed reports published In one of the local papers have made the writer liable to prosecution and have also rendered Brossey of Bridge port, Le Moine Of Webster, Mass, and Doherty of New Haven with their re- spective seconds liable to prosecution under statute 12S2.''
 "Judicial'' then goes on to say that the writer of the reports "alone has furnished ample ground for refusal of permits for these boxing exhi- bitions in New Haven and indeed for injunction proceedings or state police action should such be required or de- sired to put New Haven in line with Hartford and other like cities of the state where such exhibitions are en- tirely forbidden"
 The sporting editor of the Journal Courier trusts "Judicial' is a friend of good, clean exhibitions of the manly art, for he agrees with him in his criticism of the reports mentioned above. Boxing as practiced at Yale and other institutions of standing throughout the country is an athletic exercise not excelled by running, walk ing, swimming. rowing, golf or tennis. It is not as dangerous as pony polo nor as rough as football It is a sport near to the hearts of the American people, but has received d serious blackeye in New Haven owing to the lurid reports. Such statements as "ho was covered with gore" 'his nose was
 1attened on his face by vicious left jab,' "the claret flowed freely" and The was beaten to a pulp" are 1, st such gross congregations that shock the senses of people who do not attend the exhibitions. The sporting editor of the Journal Courier has attenaad all these exhibitions and has seen noth- ing like the above. He has avoided throwing Crimson" ink when there has been no necessity for it. He stands for good, clean boxing and good, clean reports.

JORDAN GETS HIS
Coach Yost, of Michigan, Forms an Ananias Club for Stan
 ford's President.
BACKS CLAIM WITH PROOF
Yale Man Says Westerner Has Given Black Eye to University
 of Michigan.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 2.-Coach 1ost of the University of Michigan, in an interview to-day finally denied the charge of President Jordan. of Leland Stanford university. that Yost offered G. w. Gregory of California $1,500 to enter the University of Michigan. Yost brings forward a telegram from Greg ory substantiating this denial
 For five years I have endured with out reply the aspersions of President Jordan" said Coach Yost Tt seems to me that the time has arrived when I must demand that Dr. Jordan produce some sort of proof for the numerous statements he has made, challenging my personal integrity and methods.
 'Dr. Jordan states that, while George Gregory was in the Washburn Prepar- alory school at san Jose, Cal, there came an offer from Yost, through lo- cal agent of s1,5o0 to begin with, if he would enter Michigan Gregory accept ed and went I will give $1,5OO to any charitable institution in Detroit that he may name if he can prove if there is one word of truth in this statement.
 In order that l might first give Dr. Jordan an opportunity to vouchsafe the proof of any such statement, at my request two Detroit friends asked him for the name of my agent in the Greg ory matter.
 .lDr. Jordan replied that he had no thought of reviving old issues, but will now place all information with Piexoto for fullest investigation; that he can- not make public his sources of infor. nation without permission.
 My denial is backed up as strongly as can make it. l have telegram from Gregory in which he says:
 Seattle, Wash, Dec. 3l. IF. H. Yost, Detroit Mich.
 Yost never offered me H,5OO nor any part thereof to enter Michigan.
 (Signed)
 "G. w. GREGORY"
 "Dr Jordan has also assailed the scholastic eligibility of w Martin Heston and Ralph Rose. Heston en- tered Michigan as a graduate of San Jose Normal, from which institution Leland Stanford admits graduates, not only without examination, but also with a full semsters credit. Rose en- tered Michigan on his high school di- ploma and Michigan deserves credit for dropping a man who holds seven worlds records, and thls without pro- test from anyone. President Jordan fell fiat when requested by the A. A. L. for proof of Roses professionalism.
 Such statements as these made by Dr. Jordan have poisoned the minds of many prospective students of athletic ability. They may perhaps be pardon ed for drawing the inference that some one is waiting with open hand on every corner of every campus to help them through their university course. Per haps it is but natural that they are disappointed when they find that such conditions prevail largely in imagina- tion."

PARIS WAR SCARE.
Newspapers Revive American-Jap-
 anesc Conflict Talk.

Paris, Jan 2.-Some of the Paris newspapers, notably the Matin. which have been giving considerable promin ence to American-Japanese war alarms have taken cabled reports that Japan has refused to accept the American conditions in the matter of coolie im migration. together with the decision of the navy department to keep the tor pedo-boat flotilla and the battleships together for the remainder of the cruise to the Pacific, and made of them a subject for fresh alarm. The Matin regards the coincidence of these two facts as significant, and expresses the opinion that Japan intends to press for diplomatic settlement of the question before the fleet reaches the west coast, The paper asserts also that the present situation is almost analogous to that which existed before the Russo-Japan- csc war.

DURANT'S REPLY.
Waterbury Manager Says Uncle Jeems
 Will Not Lose by Passes.

The story in the Farmer Wednesday night that Uncle Jeems O'Rourke would protest against the Waterbury manage ment giving a season pass with every Sl0O worth of stock caused a sensation in Waterbury. Secretary O'Rourke ob- jected to the wholesale issuance of passes beca lse he said the loss would fall on the visiting clubs.
 In the Waterbury Republican this morning Manager Harry Durant of the Waterbury team comes back strong. He says:
 Uncle Jeems is getting batty in his old age. Heretofore. we have sold twenty season tickets. but this year we will not sell any. There will be instead about ten stockholders tickets. because the s2,00O worth of stock will be practically taken by about ten peo- pie. In Holyoke we have had to con- tend with thirty stockholders tickets each year and nothing has ever been said about it. The same is true about Norwich. The visiting teams share of ten stockholders tickets will amount to $l.25 per game. I suppose that looks big to Uncle Jeems, but he need not worry. l am willing to give bond that he will get his SIPS every game, if he demands it. t."--Brldgeport Farmer.

MORE TINSEL CARDS.
Over 5000 Seized at Postoffice--
 They are Against Rules.

The postoffice authorities are gather CTS Of knowledge of human nature in more ways than one One of these ways is the density of their knowledge O, the density of the rublic generally on some matters. With the coming of the postal card rage, which has now de- veloped into being the hugaboo of the department, have come the introduction of every imaginable kind Of card suit able or unsuitable for mailing. One of the latter variety Is the card with tin sel stuck on 1t, which has long been under the ban of the postoffice rules, and not allowed in the mails. The trouble Is that the public cannot seem to learn that this Is tru.- As long as these cards are put on sale by their manufacturers there seems to be gocd reason that there will be some who will persist in mailing them and then wondering why they never get to their friends.
 At the New Haven postoffice over 5000 of these tinsel covered cards were taken out of the mail during the days just preceding New Years alone. They will be all bundled up and sent to Washington to the dead letter office there.
 The objection to the cards is that they are apt to hurt the hands of the postoffice clerks handling them. This the public does not learn. The cards just seized were almost universally New Years cards with the greetings of the season on them.

STATE CONVENTION MAY 12.
Chairman Kencaly Thinks That the
 Likely Date.

Bridgeport, Jan. 2.-unless something unforeseen develops the republican state convention for naming delegates 10 the national convention will meet Tn Hartford during the week which will end on May 16 The exact date is like ly to be Tuesday and Wednesday, May 12 and 13.
 This is the idea of former Speaker Michael Kenealy of Stamford, chairman of the republican state central commit tee. MT. Kenealy was in this city to- day. stopping over on his way to Hart ford. and inthe course of an interview he said that as the national convention met June 1e. the state convention would be called at least month earlier.
 Chairman Kenealy said he had not vet in mind any date for calling the state central committee together but in all probability it would be some time the last of March or during the first part of April,
 MT Kenealy said that when the committee came together it would name the time and place of meeting and would also name the gentlemen who will act as temporary chairman.
 Entirely unsettled is the position of the Connecticut republicans in re- gard to presidential candidates in the opinion of MT Kenealy. But there was no doubt that Secretary Taft had the most supporters now.

BRIDGEPORT WHITE WINGS.

Bridgeport, Jan. 2.-Bridgeport now has white wings upon it's streets. The twenty-four sweepers in the street cleaning departments made their first appearance on the streets this morning clad in their new suits One of the sweepers said that the uniforms would be a fine thing for the summer. but in the winter they have to get them several sizes too large so that they can wear their heavy clothes underneath.
 Supt. Colgan did not require the men to put on their white duck trousers this morning and they will probably not wear them until the birds fly north ward again. The men are obliged to buy their own suits. The coat and trousers costs $t each and the helmets s1.75. As each man is obliged to have two suits the entire outfit cost S5.75. The street sweepers are receiving wag- es of g. a day.
