GOLDSBOROUGH ECCENTRIC
 AS STUDENT AT HARVARD.

Boston, Jan. 24.-The shooting of the author, David Graham Phillips, by Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, to- day caused the few people at liar ward who knew the young man, to recall his strange eccentricities as a student in Cam bridge. He entered the university as a special music student in 1898 and stayed only one year, during which time he made few friends. One of these, however. was pr. Robert Green with whom Colds borough sometimes studied German.
 We knew him most as violin player he said. "He used to in- vite some of the boys up to his room and there play for them. They ad mirad his playing and did not josh him as they did some other ambitious musicians. I recall his pale features and bright red hair and the single suit of clothes he wore through the term.
 He did not become a member of the glee club for he did not have the capacity of making friends enough for that.
 'tHe was reticent always. Evening after evening he used to take long walks all alone. We never learned much about what his aim was in col lege or what he intended to do. A poor student in scholarship, I should say he was. He failed in one or two courses, I believe. Goldsborough was the most solitary and most melan- choly figure among the first year men,"

DEAD HOUSE WHISKEY ALL
 BUT KILLS
Charles w. Vim Called Back From Death by Krause With
 Hypodermic of Camphor

The pallor of death had already overspread the features of Charles w.. Vim, a l1veryman living at 81 Elm street, when bystanders in Thomas J. Youngs' cafe, 4O5 Fairfield avenue, dis covered that what they supposed was natural sleep was unconsciousness.
 Vim was snatched from the grave by the use of an exceptionally pow erful heart stimulant, and thanks to his unusually robust constitution, thought he was at first given up by the attending physician, this after noon five hours after the mans plight was discovered, he was able to walk about his room. Vim has sworn never to drink again, for 1t was drink of dead house whiskey that brought on the sudden attack that nearly ended in his death.
 Vim left the stables of Owen J. Keenan, where he is employed, early this morning, and wandered towards Water street. His associates lost sight of him. He occasionally called at Youngs' cafe, and made 1t a prac- tice to visit the lunch counter when he called there. About 8:30 he ar rived in Youngs' place and though ordinarily he took an active part in all the conversation of the place, this ulo1AlUS He Sdllh 1nlO d CndIr, ana kept unusually quiet. He did not drink in YounEs' place.
 About 10 o'clock someone walked to the corner near the stove and saw Wfnn's eyes fixed in a glassy stare towards the ceiling. His head was lying backwards on his right shoul- der, and precipitation was streaming from him. His shoulder was saturated from the profuse sweat. They tried to rouse him but to no avail
 One of the bystanders rushed across the street to the emergency hospital Dr. Krause ran back with his emer- gency grip.
 Look at him sweat!' exclaimed one of the bystanders, as the physician grapsed the mans pulse.
 Hell never sweat again, I fear,'' said Dr. Krause. for there was not the slightest indication, he said of g. pulse. The mans eyes were. glassy.
 Dr. Krause prepared his hypodermic needle with lightning like speed, and phor, one of the strongest heart stim- ulants known to medical skill, into the breast of the supposedly dying man. In a few moments a flush suc-, ceeded his pallor, his heart beat stronger, and he opened his eyes with an intelligent expression.
 Where am I?" he asked fesply.

VOTERS MAY HAVE
 CHANGE TO SETTLE THE
 HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM
kessrs Wooster and Cuna, Advocates of Remodeing and New School Respectively Favor Submission of Both
 Plans if Bond Issue is Referred

The difference of opinion between members of the Board of Education as to whether the old high school shall be remodelled, or a new high school built. has given an impetus to the general opinion that bond issues should be submitted to referendum.
 While the members of the board are jealous in desiring to give the people what they want, they are un- able to agree what this is. T. H. Macdonald. who voted for a new high school, did so because he be- neved that a new high school is what the people want"
 A NJ Wooster, who led the fight for remodelling, is equally convinced that the electorate is prejudiced in favor of this plan. ~
 The problem. it is now believed, can be only adequately solved by putting both questions upon the vot- ing machine, where adequate pro- vision is made for such procedure.

POPULATION OF BRIDGEPORT
 IS |08,252
Registrars Make This Deduction From Number of Persons Registered For Poll Tax

"One hundred and eight thousand two hundred and ffty-two.'
 Say it over three or four times, so that you can remember it.
 That is Bridgeport's present popu- lation as estimated by the veteran general registrars, James H. Rooney and William Lounsbury.
 When Uncle Sam's census takers announced last fall Bridgeport had a population of 102,054, that figure representing the population last June, the registrars agreed that the city was ahead of that figure. They based their estimate upon personal observa- tics. and especially upon the almost uniform ratio that prevails between the number of men eligible to vote, and the total population of the city from year to year.
 The registrars turned over to Town Clerk William Thomas today, a two typewriter volumes containing in alphabetical order the names of all males between 21 and 60 they were able to find in the city. This includes all men irrespective of their citizen ship rights, so long as they are resi- dents of the city. The total number is 24,056. Each of these is expected to pay a personal tax of $2.00. There are exceptions made however, in the following cases: Members of the militia, war veterans, indigerts, crip- pies, postal employees, and fremen who have served several years.
 The registrars have found from ex- perfence born of years in this field of work, that if they multiply such a list by four and one half they arrive almost invariably at approximately the total population of the city. Put ting this in operation on the list they have just compiled they get the re- suit given above.
 In view of the cosmopolitan char acter of the population it is. not strange that the registrars should have encountered a number of odd surnames. The longest of all is that of Walter Van Pottinsteiger. who re- sides in Yale street. The shortest is that of Victor Elk, a fireman.
 Two Polish names gave the regis trars particularly hard struggles. They were those of Antonio Przyds- zenski of Hamilton street, and Jacob Niestpodziany.
 Out of the 24,056 names the larg- est number commence with s, there being 2,409. The smallest number are 5S persons whose names conn mence with U. There is none whose name commences with X.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-01-24

While the members of the Board believe that new high school accom- modations are necessary, and while they wish to avoid delay in furnish ing them, yet they believe that when the bond issues are referred there should be reference of the alterna- tive propositions.
 Upon this point MT. Wooster, the chief advocate of remodelling said today:
 eff there is to be a referendum to the people upon the. issue of bonds. then feel that both questions should be submitted. The electors should be enabled to vote yes, or no upon the remodelling plan and "yes or no" up- on the proposal for a new building"
 Attorney Cullinan, who favors a new school, said: eff the question is submitted I believe that both pro- positions should be submitted. At the same time I am in favor of proceed ing with as little delay as possible for the need of new high school facilities is pressing"

ROBIN IN FRENZY
 SCORES MORGAN
Insists that He Is Being Railroaded to Asylum to Prevent Him from Telling What He Knows of Fren- zied Finance in New York.
Especial from United Press ,

New York, jan. 24HJoseph G. Robin, the promoter who is now under in dictment for wrecking the Northern Bank and allied institutions, created a sensation before United States Com missioner Alexander in the Federal Court, today, by alleging that his troubles and the trouble of the Car negie Trust Company and a number of other institutions, were caused by J. P. Morgan. Robin insisted that an attempt was being made by Morgan and financiers allied with him to have him (Robin) "railroaded" to the insane asylum in order to prevent his dis closing what he knew about frenzied methods of finance in New York.
 They say l am crazy and ought to be in an asylum" fairly shouted Robin, ''but if they will just exam inc the records of the State Banking department and the records of the the former officials of the Carnegie Trust Company to go before the Grand jury and tell the truth about the way things were manipulated then the cur tain will pulled aside and the truth about how business concerns are forced to the wall so that big inter ests can pick up bargains in banks will learned by the public.'
 "I object to being examined by Rollins and Rollins who have filed this petition in bankruptcy. I don't want to indulge in heroics but my position is similar to that of the hero in Devils Island at whom the people laughed when Zola pictured him as @ victim of a conspiracy"
 He alleged that officials of the Carnegie Trust Company were notf- fled in advance when inspections were to be made.
 Robin started to sit down and then apparently remembering something else, he walked over directly in front of the commissioner and fairly shout ed:
 And the man back of all this is the hero of the Tennesse Coal & Iron scandal, J. F. Morgan"

HARBOR MASTER CONTESTS
 WILL OF RICH RELATIVE

Harbor Master Charles H. Morris and the other direct kin of the late Albert M- Hill, a new Haven manu- facturer who died recently leaving an estate of s15o,o00, have decided to contest his will, and the first steps in that direction were taken in their behalf by Attorney W. w. Bent in the New Haven probate court yester- day.
 Judge Studley admitted the will after a sharp contest Attorney Bent will take an appeal in behalf of the heirs-at-law who have been entirely ignored in the will.
 Harbor Master Morris stated to The Farmer some time ago that he did not intend to contest the will, but since that time he has discovered cir curnstances which have led him to believe that MT. Hill was the victim of undue influence. Consequently MT. Morris. who is first cousin of the deceased, has decided to sue.
