Some statistics have been pub
lished by the Yale Dining club to show

ganization who eat at the Yale COM
mons manage to get away with in the

$500 pounds Of meat, 900 dozen eggs
and 9,1O0 rolls and loaves of bread
disappear down the Yale throat.
The daily consumption Is about like
this: Nine hundred and twenty-nine
pounds Of meat, subdivided into 2S6
pounds of roast beef, 2S4 pounds Of
poultry, IA pounds Of lamb. 143
pounds Of pork and u pounds Of

decided leaning toward eggs. Other
wise the items were proportionately
the same.

IN . suit IN 4 Maine court not long
gro there WAS adduced line Of ter
tiulony that created some excitsment
IA witness had testified that he saw
the defendant splitting up rails q
few hours before the accident for
which defendant was supposed to b.
responsible.
What did no say he was going to
do with the rails?" asked the counsel,
fixing the wandering eye Of the wit
ness with his stern gaze.
Before the witness could answer,
the defendants counsel was on his
feet, insisting that the question was
not allowable. A prolonged wrangle
ensued. Various high authorities for
and against the admission Of the Ques-
ton were consulted and quoted.
During all this time the witness
shifted from one leg to the other, and
gave vent to several prodigious
yawns. As the controversy waged
hotter and hotter something ike
smile was seen to pass across his
face.
At last the Judge ruled that the
question must be allowed and while
the defendants counsel, exhausted
with rage, leaned back in his chair
excitedly, the query was put once
more:
What did the defendant say he was
going to do with the rails?"

Ezra Kendall, in George AIDES "Land
Of Dollars" Distinct Hit.

OF OOudIsy OISlIuCI TILL
Ezra Kendall. the quaint comedian
with a record of more than a quarter
OF a century of successes, appeared at
the Odeon Thursday night, supported
by a fine company, in George AIDES
comedy. The Land of Dollars
AS Mr.. Kendall expressed himself in
short curtain talk, he saw many in
his audience in the front rows down
stairs who, when he first came to Mar
shalltown twenty-five years ago, We're
upstairs in the gallery. Such was the
case, altho the recognition might not
have been mutual Years ago Kendall,
in "a Pair of Kids" amused the coun-
try. He is continuing, having lost
nothing by the flight of time. He ex-
pressed the hope that he would be here
when those now in the gallery would
be down stairs His audience of last
night sincerely hopes so too.
Mr.. Kendall says he does not aspire
to be an actor He wants only to
amuse. He is afraid people will take
him seriously. and that he fights shy
of at every turn. Mr. AIDES comedy
is well fitted to Mr. Kendall's style. In
fact some of the lines might be sus-
pected of being written by Mr.. Kendall
himself They savored very much of
his own Good Gravy"

.HAFFEN BEFORE
GOV. HUGHES TO
DEFEND ACTS
Denies Fraud in Letting Con-

gators of His Office.

tSprCtA 10 lne bNNnlUR NNTl0a'
ALBANY, Nov. So.-Louis F. Hafren.
president OF the Borough OF the Bronx.
appeared before Gov. Hughes at noon
to-day with his counsel Louis d. Van
doren. TO answer the charges preferred
against him by Mayor McClellan's Com
,nissioners of Accounts Haffen's re-
smoval from Office is demanded on the
xround of extravaganza and official
misconduct.
John Purroy Mitchell, Commissioners
of Accounts, told the Governor that the
Civic League of the Bronx, the City
Club and the Merchants Association
would cooperate with the Commission
srs of Accounts to prosecute the case
against Haffen.
The counsel for the borough president
submitted a complete denial of the
charges covering tifty-one printed pages
Annexed TO the reply is a part of a
report of former Commissioners OF Ac-
counts Hertle and Skal Diminishing for
.,ner charges against Haffen on the
ground that whatever was done by him
was with full authority of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, the
Mayor and other warrant of law.
Haffen tries to discredit the prosecu-
tion by stating that Commissioner
Mitchell is nephew of Henry D. Pur-
roy, at one time a political power in the
Bronx and an unsuccessful political OPP
sponent of Haffen. The borough presi-
dent also asserts that Mitchell is the
son of james Mitchell, who was dis
placed in office by a person recon-
mended by Haffen.
! The charge that the city lost consid-
cradle money because of Haffen's meth
cd of letting contracts is denied. Half
fen says there is nothing fraudulent
about an unbalanced bid.
: Gov. Hughes will probably appoint a
to take evidence in the
case, as his time will be occupied dur
ing the coming months with matters
pertaining to the Legislature. He said
he would announce his decision in this
regard within a few days.
