NEW HAVEN, Conn. March 19.-As a
fellow of Yale corporation, President VIII
liam H. Taft came TO his alma mater today
and for nearly three hours sat with the
board to act upon university matters. When
he left the meeting and with President
Hadley of the university started to leave
woodbridge hall to go to lunch. he found
himself the objective of many hundreds of
Yale undergraduates. whose sharp cheer
was followed by the demand for a speech.
The president made a brief. witty response,
in which he told the students how dear to
his heart was his Yale affiliation and the
honor OF being a fellow was too great for
him to voluntarily relinquish. The stu
dent body greeted the president with the
''Brek- X e. Kex-C Co AK -Oo-Ax',' which woke
the echoes of the new campus. Then
most of the student body trooped in a long
irregular procession before President Taft
and President Hadley. as they went to the
latters house for luncheon. A mid after
noon train took the president to New oYrk.

Three persons were killed, three others

The dead are Mr. and Mrs. Walter

The immense stream of released water
rushed down Prospect Hill, sweeping every
thing before it, Houses were swept into the
street and the residents were knocked
from their beds. One whole family was
carried down a street, seventy-five yards,
their house being split almost into ribbons.

had her collorbone broken.
The two tanks contained the entire city

Harriman's Traffic Manager Testifes
in Merger Suit at

CHICAGO, March l9-J. c. Stubbs, traffic
manager of the Hartman lines, today broke
the monotony of the governments suit TO
dissolve the so-caled Hartman merger
The line of examination, however, did not
differ from that pursued with previous wit
nesses, and the government continued to
accumulate evidence of competition against
western railroads prior to 1901, when the
alleged merger went into effect. Mr.. Stubbs
read from the records OF meetings held
prior TO 1901, quoting his own arguments
in favor OF plans for reducing or doing
away with competition. That the placing
of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and
other roads under one control was a move
10 this end agreeable TO the wishes of Mr..
Stubbs
THE record of those old arguments helps
the government great deal, does IL not? %

Sharon kidnapping Mystery
Rivals Famous Omaha Case

SHARON. Pa. March l9-From reports
received this afternoon concerning the kid
naplng Of William Whitla it is believed the
lad was drugged by his abductors imme-
diately after they had taken him from
school and placed him I'm their buggy. The
accounts OF several persons who are al
legged TO have seen the two men and boy
driving along the road toward Warren, o.,
agree that the boy was wrapped in blankets
and was apparently asleep on the lap of
one OF the men.
The case is expected to rival the famous
Cudahy case at Omaha. Many points Of
both cases are identical.
Elaborate preparations are under way
looking to the capture of the abductors
The boys mother, IL she could would in
stantly pay the demanded ransom of $4,000,
but as to how. when and where the $4,000
Is to be paid has not been made known by
the kidnapers.
The lads relatives. some OF whom are
millionaires. are making every possible ef-
fort TO locate the child and his abductors
No decision has yet or can be made re-
garding the ransom OF $1,000 demanded by
the kidnapers for the safe return of the
child. Mr.. Whitla Immediately complied
with the terms contained in the letter re-
ceived yesterday from the men. insofar as
the insertion OF an advertisement in various
papers about the country is concerned. The
advertisement is to the effect he is willing
TO pay the ransom OF $4,000 but up to iC
o'clock this morning no word has been re-
eeived from the kidnapers as TO when and
where this money is to be paid.

larry reached here today from Punxsutaw-

though they would put a terrible threat

time is too short In this 10 disregard

The mother is prostrated at the whitla
home. She did not sleep last night and
today cings pathetically 70 her daughter

to allow the girl to go to school today, the
same school from which the boy was kid
naped yesterday. end sits with her arms
about the child. Anna Lewis, the bows
teacher who yesterday prepared William
for the journey with the abductors. feels
her part in the case deeply, although no
blame is attached to her.
As yet no reward has been offered for
the capture Of the kidnapers
The rig in which the boy was carried
away was hired In South Sharon yester-
day morning by a short. heavy set man
with black mustache. He said he wanted
to do some collecting and would return II
about noon.
At noon a rig was found deserted at
Warren, o., which has now been identified
as the one engaged by the kidnaper.

SENATORS OUT WITH CLUBS
Members of Upper Branch Not Salts
fed with Tariff Bill.
EAST AND WEST WILL CLASH
Frye and Hale Oppose Reduction I'm
Lumber and the Westcrners
viii Line Up Against
@ Free Hides.

WASHINGTON, March 10 That there
will be a great variety Of opinions on the
tariff bill when 1t reaches the senate is
now certain according to expressions of
senators in whose states are located the
various industries chiefly affected by the
changes of schedules proposed In the house
bill.
Reductions on lumber schedules will be
sturdily resisted by the Senators Frye and
Hale Of Maine. and by some of the sena-
tors from the Pacific coast and from the
extreme northwest. Senator'S from Mime
sofa and North and South Dakota on the
other hand will make strenuous effort
to secure free lumber. instead of the mere
reduction of the tariff as proposed by the
house bill
The proposed inheritance tax will be
stoutly resisted and senators will have an
opportunity to vote upon an amendment
providing for an income tax. Free coal
and hides also will be resisted and there
is likely to be a strong fight against re-
ductons in the various iron and steel
schedules.
While the general trend of the sentiment
among senators favors an increase In
some of the schedules and while they
generally believe that the house has made
ample reductions to satisfy reformers, at
least one republican senator, Mr.. Cummins
of Iowa, declares that the tariff should be
made still lower and. that he will do every
thing in his power to obtain further re-
ductions
Minnesota for Lower Schedule.
The entire Minnesota delegation has
steadily taken a leading part in advocat-
ing a reduction in the iron and steel
schedules and in the procurement of free
coal and free lumber and the senator's from
state will continue to advocate that course
as we'll as to obtain a lower tariff on glass
1t is declared that Minnesota, North and
South Dakota have nothing TO fear from
| free lumber while they are anxious tc
obtain entrance into the Canadian market
