 and Work Trains.
TEN IN LOCAL HOSPITAL
Two of the Dead Lived Several Hours After Reaching This City-Conductor Mitchell
 of Freight Train Held
 by Coroner Mix.

The news of the serious collision be- tween a freight train and work train from this city on the Valley division near Deep River yesterday afternoon reached this city officially In short or der for 1t was reported at once that the injured men, who nearly all lived here, would be brought to the New Ha- ven hospital for treatment The local police department was notified of this and asked to have ambulances at the station to meet the train which would arrive shortly after 6 o'clock The New Haven hospital was notified at once and besides one of it's ambulances there were the two police ambulances one from central station and the other from Grand avenue and two patrol wagons fitted up to carry the injured on stretchers. All five were lined up at the east end of the station before the special train arrived.
 Earl A. Fiirlong, of New London a brakeman on the work train was in- stantly killed and his body taken to New London.
 The injured were brought to this city on a special train which consisted of an engine and one freight car deeply lined with straw. The train moved very slowly to prevent, as far as possi- ble, any joting. There were ten in- jured in the car and one dead body, that of the Italian who belonged to this city and whose body was there- fore sent right on. He Is the only unidentified person who was connected with the wreck His body Is now at the undertaking rooms of W. F. Stahl & Son, where 1t will be held for identi- fication, The only indication Is hts railroad tag which is number 157.
 Coroner Mix and Medical Examiner Bartlett were on hand when the special arrived and the former took charge of the disposition of the injured They were taken out of the car one by one on stretchers, looking in almost every instance like lifeless bodies and were hurried at once into ambulance or pa- tro wagon and taken at once to the hospital. There was large crowd waiting around but it was cleared back Dy tHe ponce SD tllHt there was no ln- terference with the work of the hospi- tai people.
 With the car came some of the other members of the work train crew who had not been hurt or only slightly hurt and also pr. Pratt of Deep River, who after rendering all the assistance he could at the scene of the wreck came with the injured to tend them on the hard ride to this city.

REQUESTS REDUCED
Estate of Mary P. Wade Found to Be Less Than the Total
 Bequeathed.
RELATIVES GET s2oo,ooo
Total Amount for Distribution Leaves Only Few Thousand for Char
 ltablc Objects.

The final account in the estate of the late Mary P. Wade was presented in the probate court yesterday afternoon. This account details the entire proper ty which is on hand for the distribution of the estate according to the will of the deceased A peculiar feature of estate is the fact that the entire es- tate as revealed in the distribution ac- count does not contain enough to car " out in full the provisions of the will. The account shows a value of s2ls. .000 which Is an increase of about Si4,000 over the value which the inventory of the estate revealed. This gain is due largely to the sale of stocks at a price above what was estimated at the time of the inventory. Out of the entire estate comes a state tax of three per cent which amounts to about S5, 700. The remainder of the estate goes to satisfy the terms of the will.
 Mrs. Wade, who was sister of Mrs. Lucy Boardman, first of all decreed that three nieces and a nephew Fannie F. Hall Mary K. Hall, Cornelia Wade Hall all of this city and Charles S. Hall of Camden, N. J.. should each re- ceive s5O,0OO This will total s200,00C and will leave very little for the other bequests,
 The remainder of the estate which was calculated to be much larger than developed was divided up in number of charitable bequests which will have to be very much curtaled. These in. cluded S5,000 to the New Haven County Anti-Tuberculosis association; $5,00t each to the City Missionary association Home for the Friendless. Christ Episco. pal church, Grace hospital and tho New Haven dtspensary while there arc also sl0,00O for the Y. w, c, A.. $l.00t for the English Lutheran church ant the residue to relatives. The smal amount left over will probably be di vided proportionately among the bene ficary institutions.
 The executors of the will are William T. Fields of this city and Charles $ Hall of Camden.

MORSE DENIED BAIL
Convicted Financier Must Stay in Tombs, at Least Until
 December 3.
HARD BLOW TO BANKER
Circuit Court of Appeals Bases Re fusal on Fact That Case Is
 Not Extraditablc.

New York. Nov 10.-Bail was denied Charles w. Morse, the iinancler, who has been sentenced to fifteen years i'm ptlsonment al hard labor. at the clos Ing of the United States court of ap- peals to-day and f. now seems certain that the former millionaire must re- main ir the Tombs prison at least un- til December ]. when argument on the writ of error that has been granted him may be argued
 Judges Lacombe Ward and Coxe of the United states court of appeals rendered the decision late to-day by which bail was denied him. One loop hole is left open to Morses counsel in the decision and that is that tho judges decided that while bail was de. nied it was done so without prejudice to renewal of the application after bill of particulars Is filed"
 Tho judges stated briefly that as the trial judge in the proceedings against Morse had refused to admit him to bail, that the reviewing judges were not prepared on tne papers submitted to them to make q disposition of the mo- | ton.
 Morse had been hopeful of gaining | his release from the Tombs today, and | the denial of ball came as hard blow. His wife and son, Harry. had been with him in the jail during the afternoon and they encouraged him In the belief that he would be free l by nghtfall
 I There Is one feature of the case that is particularly dlsagreeable to Morse I That is that no matter how long he is compelled to remain prisoner in the ! Tombs the time will not count as 4 part of the fifteen years that he must serve in the federal prison at Atlanta Ga, in case he loses his fight for { new ,rlal
 Judge HOugh gave as his reasol for refusing 10 admit Morse 10 bail tn, fact that the case was not an extradita ble one, and that 1t would be easy fo, Morse to furnish bail through a bond Ing company, as the prisoner wa worth $22D0O,O00. Morse in an andavi presented to the judges of the Unite, States court of appeals yesterday de nied that he was q millionaire, sayinl that he had not enough money or SC eurities to meet his obligations.

FAV0RS MILITARY SYSTEM
Adopted as Disagrccablc Necessity Compulsory Service Has Become Main Cause of Industrial
 Superiority.

New York Nov. Gcrmany's military system as a factor in the edu- cational and technical training of her men was discussed tonight by Presi- dent Arthur T. lladley of Yale unlver- sity, in an address before a large aud fence gathered under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences at the Academy of Music. The Empires military system. declar- ed President IIadley originally made as disagreeablc necessity. has be- come the central factor in German public education and the main cause of Germanys industrial advance"
 In his address President Hadley said:
 There are two distinctive features n the German educational system of i to-day. one Is the extraordinary value set upon technical training oi every kind; the other is the import ance given to military service as a matter of education for the arts oi peace no less than for those of war
 The higher education of Germany is no longer ldealistic It is intense. ly practical. The Realschule, oi scientific high school, Is to-day placed in all essential respects on leve with the classical Gymnasium. Tn, technical schools have been extended and developed until they form worth, rivals to the schools of law or medi cine. The associated scientific school of Charlottenhurg are given no les public attention than the univcrst. of Berlin itself
 What strikes the American observe in all this is not simply the amour of opportunity for higher technica training, but the value placed upoi this training by the people Tn American people still regard it q rather an accident if scientific train ing has contributed to a mans sue
