TAD JONES RETURNS
Yale Baseball Captain Back in Good
 Condition.

Tad Jones, Yale's star quarterback, and all around athlete, arrived in New Haven last night for the first time since the Harvard football game. He came back two days early to take up exam nations. and will go along with his classes in the coming term.
 After getting out of St. Luke's hospi- tai in New York the quarterback went to his home in Excello. o. to spend the holidays. It was while there that he declined the offer made by the manager of the Chicago Nationals that he be- come member of the catching staff.
 Jones spent a very enjoyable Christi mas and the work of recuperation was finished so that he vii be able to take full charge of the baseball squad when 1t goes out for practice in few weeks He heartily approves of the dropping of the Easter trips, whic in past years has been of questionable good in develop ing the team.
 It Is not probable now that Jones wil have to wear a special brace to play through the baseball season. The prospects for a winning team, if the captain containues to improve in health are better than sor several years

CLEARING MYSTERY
Additional Arrests Made in the Case of the Woman
 in Red.
ANONYMOUS LETTER CLUE
Body of Mrs. Whitmore Win be Given Private Burial by
 Relatives.

Harrison, N. J., Jan. b.--Its identity having been established beyond dis pute. the body of Mrs Lena Whit more is to be given private burial by relatives. It wnl be sent to Schenec- tady, N. r., the home of the woman's youth. This arrangement was can cluded by the husband to-day after a solitary visitor, an undertaken. had been admitted to his cell. Since The odore s. Whitmore was detained rel ative to the murder of his wife he has been in close confinement. but to-day he expressed wish to have the body taken from the morgue. where ever since it was found on the Passaic river flats it has been stared at by thou sands of the morbidly curious.
 Whitmore, who gave way to occa- sional bursts of weeping yesterday, had himself we'll in hand to-day, and to his keepers appeared in a cheerful frame of mind
 The scene of the murder drew big crowd to-day, although the weather was biting cold
 The anonymous letter received by the police some days ago in which the writer said that he had accompanied the woman to the flats and there stun ned her with blows on the head, may prove important evidence. The writer denied that he killed the woman but suggested that she probably drowned herself because of chagrin when she recovered her senses and found that her clothing had been stripped from her. It now appears, according to the police, that the handwriting in this letter bears a striking resemblance to the writing in the letter received by Mrs. Whitmore's sisters which purport- ed to come from Mrs Whitmore, but must have been written after her death. All of the letters will be ax- amined and compared by experts.
 The inquest which 1t had been ex- pected would be begun Tuesday, has been tentatively set for next Thursday evening.
 A chance remark made by him to a 1 friend, but overheard and reported to the police, led to the arrest to-day of Caleb Evans, a time clerk employed by the Third Avenue elevated railroad and an acquaintance of Theodore S | Whitmore.
 The alleged remark quoted Whit more, who is detained whileyfhe death of his wife is being investigated, as having said, in effect, that he would steal home some morning before his night tour as motorman was ended and surprise his wife.
 Evans, who is thirty-eight years ot age and has a family in Brooklyn was astonished at his arrest, and though he declared that he could throw no light on the murder, he wa. locked up for a hearing tomorrow.
 Joseph Harry Hendrickson, the al legged friend of Mrss Whitmore, wa, arraigned to-day and in default O s1,000 bail was remanded to jail.

LET ORCHARD HOUSE Former New Havener Tells His Opinion of Pettibone's
 Accuser. GLAD AT HIS ACoUITTAL R. w. Beecher Sent Mine Workers OmciaI a Congratulatory
 Telegram.
 

The acquittal of Pettibone and the affairs of the Western Federation of Miners were the topics discussed at a meeting of the Socialist party held at the headquarters on Chapel street last evening.
 Ella Reeve Bloor called the acquit- tai surprising blow for organized capital but she said that this termina- ton of the case was not a time for rejoicing. Mover and Pettibone, she stated had, both contracted incurable diseases in prison and capital punish ment would thus be indirectly infiict- ed on them. She roundly denounced the American prison system, saying she had recently visited the prison at Trenton. N J., and found men con- fined In dark, damp, underground dungeons, because they had taken part in a strike. In the McGee case. tried in this city, she declared. that capital boldly Haunted its ability to hire professional witnesses. She eX- pected McGee to go to prison. R. w. Beecher a former New Ha- vener, who conducted real estate business in Denver. said he had had the pleasure of sending a telegram to Pettibone reading: The Socialists of New Haven greet you," so soon as the news of his acquittal reached here Saturday. Mir. Beecher rented Or chard the house in which the bomb intended for Judge Gabbart was made. Orchard used an assumed name, he says, in hiring the property and left bomb making material be- hind when he went away.
 Mir Beecher is an ardent sympa- thizer with the mine workers and he denounced Orchard in as strong lan- guage as he could use He Aescribes the conditions in the mining towns as horrible, Schools, comfortable houses, or any of the ordinary comforts of miners, whom. he stated, get about s1.20 a day and turn the mine owner S75 day. Further than this, the constant work underground is causing the mems eyes to become under developed and this physical defect is being imparted to the children. These men, however, he said, had raised S100,000 to use in defending the mine
 workers officials, and were willing tc put half their pay in the fund. The
 cases; he said, have created a feeling
 against the mine owners that could probabls never be. effaced.

 Pauls, will address the party or
