The more important matters sug-
gested by this conference, the results
OF whose deliberations were quite gen
orally approved by the board of direct
ors, were the following:
After two years of agitation within
the association, the following resolu
uons were emphatically and unani
mously adopted:
whereas, automobile speed contests on circu-
lar tracks built for horse racing has ceased to
serve any useful purpose; and
Whereas, such contests do not have the ap-
provai OF the general public or any considerable
portion thereof: be il
Resolved, that speed contests by automobiles
on circular tracks built for horse racing and
OF mile or less in length be condemned by
this association; and be it
Resolved, that hereafter this association have
nothing whatever to do with such contests.
1t is hoped that this action by the
TTfep9r.esentatiYe motoring body of the
United states Will practically put an
end to circular track racing.

tional body and individual motorists.
the board of directors voted to begin

graduation Is obviously improbable. and that the same holds true on the point of being self-suppprting. Prom. inent in the list of those who have applied to be registered Is Max Parry of Indianapolis, son of the for mer president of the American Man ufacturers' association and promi- nent manufacturer in that city. That his son is either working his way through college or intends to make hls home here after graduating Is pointed out as unlikely on the facc of the facts. Many others fall in the same category. .t
 Chairman Doughan has taken the matter up on behalf of the demo- cratic party and has either already communicated with the democratic chairman In the home of each of the students as far as possible or will have replies from communications to them In time to have definite infor- nation concerning them by the time registration Is started. It is the in- tention of the chairman to have the stuueHtS WHO dTe, III HIS pSilcl, ny ing to become enrolled as voters here unlawfully and to the prejudice of the permanent residents of the city, challenged when they come up for registration. p
 In cases where It is found that students in this class persist in at tempting registration, swearing to the required statements of the law to do so, and where the challengers have information that the facts do not warrant their registration the students will not only be challenged but will be prosecuted at law for per jury. The democratic town commit tee is determined that 1t will not be made the victim of the ringing in of students as voters here affecting the vote of the city when they are not residents here and have no interest here outside of getting an education at Yale.
 In the list of those who have ap- piled from the first ward appear men from many parts of this country and from other lands. Two of the men are listed from Sweden.

New Haven. Oct. 13.-What is re- garded by the democratic town com Snittee as an attempt on the part of certain men at Yale at political colonizing of the students who arc attending the university from all sec tons of the country and even from foreign lands to the prejudice of the democratic party and against the provisions of the laws governing the right of voting in state has Jus, been unearthed by that body and promises to create the sensation oi the present week at least in the political campaign here.
 Chairman John Doughan with Deputy Registrar Albert Widman of the first ward has made careful examination of the list of applicants in the first ward, who desire to gel their names on the list for the com ing election as voters in that ward of New Haven. In that list they have discovered the names of S3 students all from homes outside the city, who claim the right to vote here and ask to be put on the list. This, they claim, is by far the largest number of students from out of town who have ever applied in the first ward and this is from the college campus and vicinity alone and does not in. clude the entire college population inasmuch as there is large part of the student enrolment which lives outside of the first ward.
 Chairman Doughan and his as- sociates have started a minute in. yestigation into ~the matter and are convinced that some of the students whose names they have on their lists have no right to vote here as they cannot comply with the provisions of the law. This law, ,a they state, re- quires that a man be resident ci the state one year, of the city for six months, and must show that they intend to make their homes here when they leave college or that they are self-supporting.
 In going over the list Chairman Doughan points out that in the cases of the men in question it is ridicu. lous to claim that these conditions are fulfilled. He claims first of all that the law for years consecu. tive residence is not qualified, for in the case of most of the students who for three months of the year are not here at all and that in. the case oi many at least the provision regard ing intention to remain here after

SCHOOL IS
WELL FUMlGATED

The Lincoln school, the oldest
school in Billings, was dismissed
shortly after. 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon by order Of Superintendent
Brother in order that the school might
be fumigated. Workmen were imme-
diately placed at work with six fumi.
eating machines and instructed to
work late last night fumigating. Lat
er the representatives Of the city
board of health took charge Of the
fumigating.
The fact that children from a fam
lily where diphtheria a alleged to
have been discovered had been attend
ing school up till the time the disease
was pronounced diphtheria, when
they were withdrawn from school, was
the cause Of the careful fumigation.
Superintendent Brother took every
precaution to wipe out any disease
germs that might be in the building
and thus protect the students.
There will be a meeting Of the
school board this morning.

MAY BE ANOTHER OF
|, BILLEK'S VICTIMS
POLICE ExHuME BODY
OF WEALTHY BOHEMIAN.

Chicago, April Fin the belief that
they have unearthed a possible coun-
terpart Of the case of Herman Billek,
nov awaiting execution here for the
poisoning Of several members Of. the
Vzral family, county authorities today
caused to be exhumed the body Of
Charles Stroner, a we'll to do Bohe-
milan, whose death a month ago is al
legged by some members Of his family
to have been due to a white liquid"
administered shortly before his death.
Both Billek and Mrs. Stroner are al
legged clairvoyants and said to be pos
sessed of hypnotic powers. Both are
Bohemians. The alleged motive for the
supposed murder Of Stroner is the
same as that in the cas- OF the Vzral
family, a hope Of profiting by insur-
ance on the lives of the victims.
