St. Mary's society was the originator of the observance of Father Mathew day a number of years ago and never fails to keep the memory of this great worker in the temperance cause alive, as it is now done all over the country, following the lead of St. Mary's so- ciety
 I he officers were in charge of the celebration Monday night. making it a social with dancing in the hall Be- fore the dancing began William H. Me Guinness paid an appropriate tribute to Father Mathew and urged unceas- ing effort in the cause that was dear to this great leaders heart.

MEETING OF NEW HAVEN
 BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Attention Called to Exclusion Of Col Iectors from Vale Campus and Der mitories-s25o,ooo Owing New Hs- ven Merchants.

New Haven, Oct. 11.-At the meet ing of the board of aldermen of this city tonight. Alderman Emil Boos of the Eighth ward of the city carried out a statement which be had+made call attention to a regulation of Yale university excluding collectors Of. fner- oantile houses from the campus and dormitories.
 Alderman Loos said that Yale uni versity was under deep obligations to the city of New Haven and had been so for many years, but had failed to fulfil obligations to the city. inasmuch. for example, as it had built large dor mitories which took away the student patronage of landlords and tland1adies of New Haven. What. however. he specifically protested against. was an order of the college by which collec- tors, especially those of merchant tail- ors. were excluded from the canlpus and dormitories. as result of which there was how owing to New Haven merchants s250 coo, which could not be directly collected. Merchants he said, could sell and deliver their goods to students but were not allowed to go to the dormitories even to inspect the condition of the unpaidsfor goods He asked the attention of the Yale authorities to the matter and asked that it be taken up by the city news papers and the New Haven chamber of commerce.

FATE OF MINISTER CRANE
 NOT YET DECIDED.
Today Possibly May Bring the Question
 to an End.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Tomorrow probably will see the determination of the question whether Charles R. Crane will be requested to resign hls recently acquired office of minister of the Unit ed States to China or will be permit te6 to resume in that capacity his journey to Picking, whither he was al- most in the act of sailing from San Francisco when peremptorily summon ed by Secretary of State Knox to re- turn forthwith to Washington and ex- plain his alleged responsibility for the disclosure in a newspaper despatch of supposedly confidential information about the attitude of the United States toward the new treaties between China and Japan.
 Sepulchral silence shrouded the sit uation all day today. Secretary Knox was practically inaccessible, other state department officials disclaimed any Knowledge of the state of affairs. Mir. Crane himself was virtually dumb. Notwithstanding the general expecta . tiou that he would have decisive con- ference at noon with the secretary. he did not call at the department, nor. so far as can be learned. did he see MT. Knox at his home.
 It came at last to be believed that the whole affair has been referred by
 
 was at Los Angeles today. It was as- stunned also that MT. Knox informed the president of all the material facts in Mir. Cranes case with his own views upon the subject. All the indications tonight point in this direction and the matter Is expected to remain fin statu quo pending receipt of advices from the president. who is in the last analy- sis the official superior of both the secretary of state and the minister to China
 It is believed in diplomatic circles that the Crane matter Is of no serious moment as affecting any international question. save as the disclosures re- ferred to may have prematurely showed the hand of the state depart ment in the matter of these treaties. The matter is generally regarded as one chiefly personal to MT. Crane and embodying almost exclusively the ques- tion whether he has exhibited a lack of tbat discretion which in the eyes Of the diplomatic world is a first essen tial in the representative of a great government at such a center of inter national interest as the fapital Of China
