Yale Publications to Combine.

New Haven, Jan 27.-It was an
nounced to-day that the Banner and
the Pot-Pourri, annual Yale publica-
tions, one appearing in the spring
and the other in the fall, have been
consolidation and will now appear I'M
der one cover, the book to be known
as The Yale Banner and Pot-Pourri.
This amalgamation took place after
long discussion and after more or
less unfavorable comment had been
passed owing to the appearance Of
two publications of practically the
same nature at two different times
during the college year. Both books
are profusely illustrated and re-
viewed the year at Yale from ath-
letic, social and other standpoints.

GAME OF LOOT
PeDusyIvanians Summoned 10
The Bar OF Justice-Trial
Began To-Day.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan 27.-No
since the trial of U. S. Senator M. S
Quay ten years ago for conspiracy
to wreck a Philadelphia bank, has
there been such interest in trial as
has been manifested throughout
Pennsylvania in the proceedings be-
gun to-day against the prominent
men charged with conspiracy to loot
the state treasury in connection with
the construction and furnishing OF
the big State Capitol building.
The trial of the alleged conspira-
tors is being conducted in the dingy
old fashioned county court house
and it's resources have been stretched
to the limit to accommodate the de-
PENDANTS, attorneys and newspaper
correspondents.
A special jury panel of eighty is
on hand and Judge George F. Kun
kel, once a member of the legisla-
ture and a newcomer on the Penn
sylvania bench, is presiding.
Judge Kunkel has expressed de-
termination to push the trial with
the least possible delay and his man.
ner in the preliminary proceedings
incident to the great trial has led to
the conclusion that he will not toler-
ate dillatory tactics. The first of
the five conspiracy cases listed for
trial involves payments of $49,-
ALSO for sofas, tables and clothes
trees. The items were paid for by
the state at the rate of $3.50 per
foot" The commonwealth alleges
that frauds to the amount of $19,-
30S.40 were perpetrated. The de-
PENDANTS in these five cases are Chief
Contractor John P. Sanderson and
Architect Joseph M. Huston of Phil
adelphia, former Auditor General
William P. Snyder of Spring City,
former State Treasurer William l..
Mathues of Media and James M.
Shumaker of Johnstown, former SUI
perintedent of grounds and build
ings. Neither Congressman H. Burd
Cassel of the Pennsylvania Construc-
ton Co nor the remaining eight de-
PENDANTS in the prosecutions figure in
these conspiracy cases.
There is big array of counsel on
both sides, the prosecution being
headed by Attorney-General Todd.
Sanderson supplied most of the
furnishings of the Capitol. His con-
tracted amounted to $5,4S7,S99.45,
and his profits in some instances are
alleged to have been as much as
1000 per cent. Huston designed
the building and furnishings, his
commission amounting to $415,-
631.91.
Shumaker is accused of having
failed to audit the bills of Sander
sons and also charged with having
accepted Huston's certification that
the work was up to the specifica-
tions.
Mathues is alleged to have paid
the bills of the contractors without
having them audited.
Snyder is charged with non-per-
formance of duty in not auditing the
bills. The trial which was scheduled
to begin at 1V o'clock was delayed
by the clearing up of other
cases before the court.

It is expected that the aldermen
will elect sealer of weights and

who will get the plum, if such the
position might rightfully be termed.
but the aldermen feel that they can
not afford to put it over any longer.
1t is likely that the bureau of assess
ment will be chosen, too. Alderman
Malone and Alderman Gallagher are
said to be slated to go on, and if one
can believe what he hears on the
streets the other member will be

place on the bureau but conditions
arose which rendered it practically
impossible for him to act in that

THE FIRE FIEND
Chicago Eiremen Had Thrilling
Experience Many Of Them
Injured, One Killed.
BIG FIRE in PORTLAND

Chicago, Jan 27.-One fireman is
supposed to have been killed, more
than score of others were injured
and property valued at half a mil
lion dollars was destroyed in a fire
which devastated the Mayer build
ing, a seven story brick building
and the Hotel Florence, 163-167 Ad-
ans street, early to-day. The fire
| broke out in the basement of the
Mayer building and spread so rapid
! ly that when the first detachment of
flremen arrived the entire building
| was in flames.
Portland, Maine, Jan 27.-A fire
which several times threatened seri.
ously to wipe out the business dis.
trlct of this city and which caused a
damage estimated at over 100000
before 1t was finally controlled, was
Kept confined to the block in which
1t started, this morning, after almost
ten hours fighting by Portland's al
most exhausted firemen, aided by men
and apparatus from several outside
cities and favored by a light rain and
shifts of winds. The fire burned in
the block occupied by Milliken,
Cousens & company, and A. F. Cox
d Son, and it was here that practical
ly all the damage was done although
nearby business houses were several
times threatened bye the flames and
suffered somewhat from smoke and
water.
The fire started from unknown
cause in the wholesale dry goods
house of Milliken, Cousens G COM
pany, which is a branch of the large
New York wholesale house of Deer
ing, Milliken & company and it was
in their half of the building that the
greater part of the loss was sustained.
Later, when the fire was thought
under control, the other half of the
building, occupied by A. F. Cox &
Sons, was invaded by the flames
which had made their way through
the roof and a party wall simultan-
teneously, and the $250,000 stock of
boots and shoes was ruined.
The fire burned within a block of
the scene of Fridays great conflagra-
tion, when the city hall and police
buildings were destroyed. After the
firemen had lost control of the flames.
with the spread of the fire to the Cox
establishment, it was feared that the
entire wholesale district would be de-
stroyed, as the wind was changing
at the time, and sparks were being
scattered in all directions. The First
National bank. the postoffice and
federal building and the temporary
offices of the city department were all
within the area covered by the flying
sparks.
