Cleveland. O.. Nov 19.-Mayor Tom L.

Internal Revenue Collectors Ac' tiYity During Recent Cam' paign Under InVestiSa,
 ton in Washington,
UNDULY ACTIVE, IT IS SAID
Matter Is to Be Thoroughly Threshed 0ut-Talk of Cleo. margarine and Butterino
 Gases in This State.
(spccia, to the Journni-couricr.;;


 Washington D. C., Nov. 19.-RooA ert O. Eaton collector of internal rev- enue in New Haven is being made the subject of a special investigation by Secretary of the Treasury George z. Cortelyou, and if the preliminary in" vestigation develops sufficient facts upon which to base formal charges he will he called upon to make an official explanation of his conduct in the re- cent campaign. This statement was made to the Journal-Courier repre- sentative hy the secretary of the treasury
 My attention has been called to tho fact" said Mir, Corteyol, that MT. Eaton has been unduly active in poli- ties in Connecticut, No formal charges so far as l am aware have been made against him hy any one in that state, From all that can learn. however. there is considerable talk If that nature and am having the mat ter thoroughly investigated. l have no idea whether the statements are founded on facts but l will soon be in a position to determine whether they are or not. Should 1t develop that Mir. Eaton was unduly active he will, of course. bc called upon to explain"
 Mir Eaton was in Washington on Monday and Tuesday, but the secre- tary of the treasury said that he did nct know that the New Haven official had been here.
 Either Secretary Cortelyou has not taken some of his subordinates into his confidence or else there is dispo- sition on the part of the internal revenue department to hush up the charges against MT Eaton John q. Capers collector of information revenue admitted that he had heard n; n- erous reports concerning Eaton's al- legged pernicous political activity but decided that so far as he is aware they are idle rumors
 'Mr. Eaton was here Tuesday" said Mir. Capers, Ion my invitation but his visit had nothing whatever to do with the rumors circulated about him, and it is unfortunate that his visit here should be misconstrued. l discussed with him department matters relating to oleomargarne and butterine cases which VIC are preparing to turn over to the district attorney. We were to- gether for more than two hours and We not only did not discuss any such charges against him but did not talk politics at all The subject of politi- cal activity was not mentioned at all"
 While in Washington MT Eaton ads mtted to some of his friends that he had taken a pretty prominent part in the campaign but he expressed no fear that he would be called to account for lt.
 Representative Fbenezer J. Hill ot Norwalk. the only member of the Con- nccticut delegation now in washing ton was asked today if he knew any, thing about the charges against Eaton and he declared emphatically that he had not heard of any and did not know why any should be brought. Early in tho evening Mr. Hill was summoned to the White House and 1t is quite probable that he discussed the matter with President Roosevelt.

Governor, in Letter to Mem bers- Elect, Asks Support of Judge Malone for Speak
 CT of the House.
WARM FIGHT FOR PLACE
Gentleman from Fairfield Feels Con- iilcnt of Landing the Position He Lost to Tilson Two
 Years Ago.

Governor RolIin s. Woodruff is sup porting tho candidacy of Judge WIl- liam ]. Malone of Bristol for speaker of tho incoming house of representa- tivtq as against that of Judge F. &. Banks of Fairfield, who ran against Major John .. Tilson for the honor two years ago Judge Banks was never a hearty supporter of the measures known as the governor s measures Introduced at the last ses- sion of the legislature and on nearly every occasion that presented itself he took the floor and usually in a hot speech opposed the bills.
 The gentleman from Fairfield, in this measure, always led the oppos- ition and was indirectly responsible for causing many of the commcndablc measures of tho chief executive to die In the lower house. That Governor Woodruff, in a way, is getting square with the republican leader of the last house Is seen by the following letter which he has sent to his personal friends among the memhcrs-elect of the new legislature;
 Dear Sir; r;,Judgc William ] Malone of Bristol has been reelected to the general assembly, Hc was one of tho most useful and influential members of the last house He ls young man of ability, is an excellent speaker, ant level head

MFR WIN NOMINATED

Scores Present inistraiion--.IittIe Contest in Other Republican
 Nominations.

By as large and interested a caucus as West Haven has seen in some time James D. Merwin last night was nom lnteed for the third time as warden on tho republican ticket Thus was ended one of the prcttiest threc-cor- nered fights ever seen in the borougn. Clarence D. Hall had been working hard for the nomination for several weeks, and recently George F. Bailey had appeared on the scene as dark horse. The probability of a lively fight filled the town hall to overflow ing nearly every republican voter of the borough being present and q num- ber of democrats also stayed in,
 The only contest was for the five burgesses ten candidates being pro- posed for these positions, SO that the | voting continued rather late,
 After James B, Smith had been l chosen chairman and James Tolles | clerk, 1t was voted to ballot for war den by cheek list to avoid errors, ! Nominations were called for and Mir, 1 Mcrwin waq proposed on the record | of his two years' administration Judge Bryant then placed in nomina- | tion the name of George F. Bailey as | that of q strong man well known m 1 the borough Clarence D, Hall was proposed by Charles Newman on the strength of his business success | youth and energy,
 Some little excitement was created | by Mir. Douglas in seconding the nom ! ination of Mr. Bailey, It will be re- membered that Mr.. Douglas, who i signed himself "A Yankee Drummer, in a series of letters on the railroad service was turned down by the bor- ough officials in an endeavor to get | better service from the trolley com pany through the railroad COmmis- sion. He started in to score the pres cnt administration, but was called tc order, amid cries of "bet him go onN
 He then said that all knew what he meant, and that MT. Bailey, if elected
 would put through the petition and stand for the rights of the people.
 The next half hour or more was spent in balloting for warden, and
 while the votes were being counted

 ward Statistics.

For the first time in the history of football the Harvard eleven came here yesterday to practice on Yale field a few days before the Yale Harvard game and this Is taken in both the universities as sh owing the very good feeling existing between them in ath- letics. as well as in other depart ments Harvard asked for a few min utes at tho field for the men in order that they might become used to the light and the lay of the land for kick lne goals. Yale Immediately consent- cd and said that the Harvard squad could have all the time the manage ment wanted at the field. The reply was that an hour and q half would be enough and the time was ahosen by the Harvard coaches.
 S5 the backs and the kiekers came down yesterday afternoon to practice at the field. They lunchcd at the New Haven house, and their table was close to the Yale training table, Fred Daly comes from Cambridge and he introduced several of the Yale men to the Harvard players, Other Andover men on the Vale squad introduced the Andover men on the Harvard squad, so a very social time was enjoyed be- tween the two sets of men who will meet in mortal combat tomorrow, The social session was very short, however, for the Harvard squad had to go at once to Yale field The men dressed at the Y NJ. C. A. and went out in special car,
 Arriving at the field the practice was entirely in secret, and the time spent was considerably under that stipulated. At the close Captain Burr | said that the men had practced bunting and drop kicking and had gauged the goals. He was asked If hn would be able to play against Yale aud said
 "G do not know whether I will play or not and the lineup of the team s not definitely settled I will not play if another man will do better in the same place.
