YALE BENEFITS
To the Tune Of $780,
600 Through Mrs. Sage.
Her Gift Of s65O,oOO Makes
Like Amount Available.
Sage GIFT will Be Used for Pur.
chase Of Hill House Properly.

New Haven, CT, Jan. 10.-As re-
suit of the recent gift of sb5o,0o0 by
Mrs Russell Sage of New York for the
purchase Of the Hill House property
and it's transfer free OF encumbrance
to Yale University, corresponding
amount is released without restriction
for the use of the university corpora
ton. Mrs. Sage's benefaction raises
the mortgages of the Hill House prop
erty due this year and also replaces in
the Yale treasury the sum of about
$500, 900 used from the Blount legacy
in England, which last year came into
Yale's possession.
This week important meetings will
be held one by the board of Sheffield
Scientific School trustees and the other
a special meeting of the Yale Corpora
ton to act upon the disposition of the
funds amounting to about $650,000 re-
leased by the Sage gift. 1t is general
ly understood that the plan proposed
is the erection upon the Hill House
property of a large biological labora :
tory and perhaps the appointment in
connection with it of a university pro-
fessor in biology upon a new founda-
ton.
The great Importance of this step
appears in connection with the policy
of transferring to the new laboratory,
as well as to the new Sloane physical
laboratory to be erected upon the Hill
House property, of a considerable num-
Der of students from both the scientific
school and the academic department.
There is considerable opposition to
both plans, on the theory that it tends
to injure the unity Of both depart
ments and substitute in it's place a
university policy
In Yale circles the decision of the
Yale Corporation at it's coming meet
ing is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant in the history of the univer-
sity as settling with considerable def
niteness the question whether here
after the university policy is to be
dominant in Yale affairs or the con-
trary policy of conserving the unity of
the various departments

HAS A TAIL.
Prof. Frost Discovers Short Append
age on Halley's Comet.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 10.-A
straight and slender tail has been dis
covered trailing behind the nucleus of
Hallcy's comet, according to dispatch
received at the Harvard observatory
today from Prof f. B. Frost of the
Yeikes observatory. The tail is a
faint one as yet, about 10 minutes in
length. and at an angle of So degrees.
Halley's comet may now be seen
through small telescope as sort of
blur. like a faint nebula. The tail,
however, is tn faint to be caught by
anything except highly sensitzed pho
tographic plate
The comet is in the western sky in
the early evening, but later in the
week the moon will probably become
too bright to allow a sight of the ce-
lestial visitor.

PLAYGROUND Commission
HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING
He Must Have Recognized My
Voice. Says Superinten-
dent, as Mule BrayS

The monthly conference of the Play
ground commission was held last night
at the Slauson Fairgrounds club house
The guests included Chief Of Police
Galloway and Mrs. Galloway; J. H.
Francis, uperintendent-elect of city
schools, and Mrs. Francis; and Messrs.
Hunt and Burns, the architects OF
the club house.
The party left the city hall in the
afternoon, yesterday, visiting several
Fairgrounds and noting the progress
of the work. At seven, a collation. was
rendered them at the Slauson club
house.
An interesting Juvenile program fol-
lowed the luncheon. Addresses by the
members of the commission and all of
the guests closed the program.
Superintendent Rattle told of the
work that had been accomplished.
Mrs. Hammond, supervisor of girls
work, told of the Boston system of
Fairgrounds, where she had originally
worked. Director Miller spoke of the
many associations, both social and
athletic, that had been organized. He
was followed by Mr.. Francis. In the
course of his address, Mr.. Francis was
interrupted by the loud braying of a
mule, outside.
HE must have recognized my voice."
observed the superintendent, to the
great amusement of his auditors.
There are, all told, II Fairgrounds in
the city, four regular and seven vaca-
ton. Owing to the rapid growth of
the city, the appropriation of $4,000
during the last three years is at the
present time proving insufficient, more
grounds being in demand.
These Fairgrounds are handling more
than $4,000 visitors per month and the
system is said to be the best west
of Chicago.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD
. EXPLAINS EXPENDITURES
Tells Budget Committee Money
Will Be Well Used if Appor-
toned as Asked

The budget committee of the coun-
Gil held its first session yesterday with
the doors open and the public well
come. The board of public works was
before the committee to explain why
1t wanted the money 1t had asked for
the conduct of the department of pub
lie works for the coming fiscal year,
The board of public works was fully
able to show the committee that If the
money was apportioned to it, 1t would
be we'll spent but the board told the
committee that if the amount was re-
duced 1t would not spend any more
than it was allowed.
AS one instance w. M. Humphreys
said he had asked for $4,000 for oiling
streets during the next year but said
that 1t was an arbitrary figure and
that If the committee wanted to cut
off $4,000 he would get along with $780,
900, but would only do $4,000 worth of
Oiling.

WILL REMOVE ALL FREIGHT
FROM GROUNDED STEAMER

ASTORIA, Ore, July 28.-That it will
be necessary to remove practically all
freight from the steamer Beaver, which
went aground yesterday in Youngs Bay
during the fog, is the belief of the Of
ficers. Every attempt to drag the
steamer off has failed.
Passengers from the Beaver were
taken to Portland today on the side
wheeler Potter. The vessel collided
with a barge while steaming up the
river and only prompt action by the
officers averted a panic. The dam

SUBORNAT|ON Of
PERJURY CHARGED
S. {. Skinner and R. C. NoIeman,
Once His Attorney, IndiCt-
ed by Grand Jury
LAWYER RELEASED ON BAIL
Federal InquiSitorS Claim They
Caused Turner Heir to Make
a False Statement
LAWYER RELEASED ON BAIL

Indicted by the federal grand jury,
r. C. Noleman. senior member OF the
law firm of Noleman & Smyer was
arrested yesterday on a charge Of sub
ordination of perjury. He was taken
before C. N. williams, United States
commissioner and released on $500
bonds Sigel e. Skinner, indicted with
Noleman on a similar charge, was re-
turned to the county jail In default of
a similar bond.
Noleman's arrest was the result of
land deals in the Imperial valley. Nole-
man and Skinner are alleged to have
suborned George w. Turner to swear
falsely to an affidavit which was fled
in the United States land office. 1t
was to the effect that all heirs to the
estate of Wyman Turner consented to
allow Skinner to dispose of their prop
erty The officials charge that Turner
named all the heirs in the affidavit
with the exception of one brother
whose whereabouts was unknown.
ONE BROTHER MISSING
Skinner desired to secure clear IT,
tie to what is known as the Wyman
Turner estate in the valley in order
that he might file on 1t or sell it HIM
self In order to do this 1t was neces-
sary that all the heirs of Wyman
Turner, who died in 1905, give up their
claims to the land. Young Turner, who
at that time was a clerk in a local
drug store, made affidavit to the effect
that all heirs had relinquished their
claims, omitting the name of one broth
er from the list.
The estate in question Is now in the
hands of J. Arkellian, merchant of
Fresno, who, it is claimed by the fed
eral authorities, paid Noleman $4,000
with the understanding that that
amount was to be given Skinner as
soon as he had cleared the title to the
Turner estate so Arkellian could file
on 1t.
SKINNER TRIED BEFORE
Skinner was tried in the district court
about two months ago on a charge of
impersonating an officer of the land Of
flee. Noleman s. Smyser were his at
torneys up until few days before the
trial when they, for some unknown
reason, withdrew from the case.
1t is believed that both Noleman
and Skinner will be arraigned in the
United States district court next Mon
day.

of Faith and Hope

dark blue suit, and appeared perfect
ly calm Nand collected. He walked
with his hands folded before him, and
was chatting pleasantly with his at
torneys and the deputies while walk
ing from the Jail and until his case
was called.
Justice Summerfield read the COM
plant to Bell, who had no comment
to make. His attorney, Earl Rogers,
requested that the preliminary hearing
be set for either August 12 or Is. ex-
planning that owing to another case
in which he was interested 1t would
be impossible for him to attend be-
fore that time.
The State Assistant District Attor-
ney c. C. McComas finally agreed to
the date set, August IT. Without fur
ther ado Bell was returned to the coun-
ty Jail, where he Immediately went into
consultation with Attorney Frank
Dominguez, different phases of the
defense to be offered at the trial being
disclosed.
Before his preliminary examination,
Bell was visited by his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Bell of Ell Paso. A touching
scene occurred when the kindly little
southern woman and her son first
met, Bell folding her in his arms and
hearing from her own lips the avowals
Of faith and hope in him, expressed
so many times over the telegraph wires
