NO FLOWERS AT
 THE YALE JUNIOR PROM.
Committee This Year Will Rigidly En-
 force Plan Adopted.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 1o.-After many attempts of previous committees, the promenade committee of the pres ent junior class at Yale has adopted a plan by which the costly expense of flowers at the promenade for chaper- ones and partners will be abolished. When the juniors applied today for tickets to the promenade they were forced to sign a pledge that they would give no flowers and otherwise were not allowed to obtain the tickets The rule applies this year to the play on Saturday night. chapel exercises, the concert, the junior german, the prom enade itself and all It's festivities. It is estimated that ff1e saving to each member attending the junior prom will average about $15. The plan of the committee has carried dismay to the florists of the city, whose total sales during the promenade week have been estimated as high as several thousands of dollars. In past years the prom Icommittees have adopted for them selves the mo flowers" plan, but have been unable to enforce it upon the clsass.

 Shaking Down Machines.

Charles D.. Willard in the Cu-tiss No. l also made d successful flight, and several times Roy knabershue and Lincoln Bcachy ascended in two small dirigtbles and Inanouevred their craft, but nothing to thrill the crowd occurred until Paul han swept into the air, swept around the course and over the grandstand several times.

JEWELER HELMAN CLAIMED
 HE WAS POISONED
By His StePdaughter-Was Found Dy
 ing in Hotel.

Terre Hauts, Ind, Jan. f0.-Effie Sellsberry, supposed to be on I train nearing New Orleans, is wanted by the police as a witness in the mysterious death Of W. H. Helnan, a jeweler, who was found unconscious in q room at a hotel today and died soon arterward, evidently Of poison.
 Telesrems were sent to the police of Memphis and New Orleans asking them to detain the woman. The cor oner will not give his verdict in the case until a chemical analysis Of Hell mans stomach is completed
 Helnfan returned to Terre Haute last night from Chicago. At the hotel he sent to the bar for whiskey A cham : bermaid found him lying on the floor in his room today. He did not regain consciousness before he died but the coroner found in the room two letters. One was addressed to the chief of po- lice and the other to a friend In both he accused Fife Sellsberry of having administered poison to him in coffee which he drank in a restaurant in Chi- cago yesterday. He said that the woman was with him on the train re- turning to Terre Haute and that she remained on if bound for New Or leans.
 Ellie Sellsberry is a stepdaughter of Helman. He was divorced from her mother, who lived in North Dakota.
 The theory of the police is that Hcl- man was demeHted. It does not ap- pear plausible. they say, that he could have swallowed poison in Chicago yes terday and still have been able to reach this city before it took effect.

And Fugitive from Italian Justice Is Among the Gang captured-Secret Service Men JubiIant.

New York. Jan. 10.-Ignacio Lupo, 'The Wolf" and Giuseppe Morello. who, the police say. was the brains of the plot which ended in the assassina ] ton of Lieut. Petrosino in Palermo, Sicily, were arraigned in the United States district court today with four teen of their alleged confederates, harged with wholesale counterfeit ing.
 This is the biggest roundup of counterfeiters in history af the coun- try said Assistant District Attorney Smith. 'I ask that the court hold the accomplices in s5,000 each.
 Turned Out $5o,oo0 in Bad Bills. 'Lupo has been convicted of murder in Italy and sentenced to Is years there. He is a fugitive from justice. Morello has also been convicted of for gerry in Italy and sentenced there to six years. He is an habitual criminal. Within six months this gang has turn ed out $50.0 in spurious bills"
 Judge Hough agreed with the district case and fixed the bali at the amount requested.
 Alleged Leaders in Custody.
 Secret service men unearthed head quarters of a cOunterfeiting gang last November in an abandoned farmhouse Pierpont Morgan has his country place. on the Hudson, and plates. en- graver's tools and many counterfeit g bills were dug up. Twos and fives were the speciality of the gang.
 Twenty arrests followed the raid on the plant, but all the time the detec- tives knew they were only landing small fry. They wanted Lupo and Mo- rello. the alleged leaders. Lupo and Morello were both arrested last night at Bath Beach, Brooklyn, but no par tlcular significance was popularly at tached to the arrest. Both men had aften been up before, but 1t never has been possible to convict them
 An Unimpeachable Case.
 This time the secret service men are confident they have an unimpeachable case. And yet there remains one thing that puzzles and annoys them. Of the $50,000 they know has been manufac- tured in the last six months they have only recovered S2,000. They think the rest must be buried.
