Grub Street No Longer A Canyon
Yale Secures Piece of Land That Now Makes Important
 Ih0roughfare

No longer will Grub street remain a tanyon at the Wall street end
 through which thousands of hungry students must file before they can reach the more spacious lawns that are a prelude to Yale's famous d1n- ing hall. By a warranty deed filed yesterday in the office of the New Haven town clerk Yale university comes into possession of the piece of property that for years has prevent nue, between Elm and Wall streets, and brought about the idle hanging of heavy iron chains across either entrance as token of mo thorough fare.''
 When University avenue was put through it was intended to make it a fine broad thoroughfare between the old Divinity halls and Fayerweather. Finely sidewalked. flanked with grass plots and with fine gravel highway the road was built until it came to the Vail property, which covered half the width of the road and stands right in the way of the street. The univ ersity for many years past has the owners have always insisted on a price which the Yale men considered exorbitant and felt that they were being held to an excessive price be- cause it was the one piece of proper- ty needed to complete the university plans Negotiations were finally dropped for while when the college men refused to pay the price de- manded, but finally the barriers were burst asunder, and the university has succeeded in getting the property.

Camp wilson, Sea Girt. N. J.. July 2S-After thorough investigation nine members of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, who had come here to attend the first Cover nor's day gathering, passed a resolu- ton demanding that if 1t was true that State Chairman James R. Nu- gent toasted Gov. Wilson liar and an ingrate in public restaurant at Avon, N J., on Tuesday night, Nu- gent must hand in his resignation. This action was not taken until they had asked several officers of the New Jersey National Guard, who were present when Nugent made the re- marks, about the story, and these of ffcerss had verified everything that has been printed.
 Eight of the members of the com mittee signed the resolution, and the ninth, Circuit Court Judge Nelson Y. Dungan, who is about to resign from the committee because of his recent elevation to the bench, said {: he was in sympathy with the sentiments ex- pressed. The members who signed the paper were Mayor George Hamp- ton of Bridgeton, Senator George C.. Low of Toms River, Thomas Flynn of Passaic, Michael Kearns of Cape May, David Crater of Freehold. Gen. Collins, Dan F'ollowes P1att of Engle- wood, Johnston Cornish of Phillips burg, and Benjah F.. Willis of Mount Holly.

Nugent's Explanation

State Democratic Chairman Nugent made public in Newark yesterday a statement regarding his toast to Gov. Wilson at Avon He admits making the toast, but declares it was meant only for the ears of his friends, who were helping him celebrate his birth day anniversary. They had been in- dulging in champagne, he said, when he offered the toast.
 '.I was present there," said MT. Nu- gent, ''in the company of some friends. and met others of my acquaintance, including some military officers. The affair was purely a social one in char acter, and the remarks made were intended only for the ears of those who were of the gathering, it being a sort of birthday party.
 '1There were many toasts offered. The members of the party indulged in raillery and this led to a criticism not in a serious spirit-of some recent public utterances of Coy. Wilson. These were called out by the fact that they were made in that same place while myself and distinguished members of the Democratic party were guests.
 'The term 'scoundrel' was used by Gov. wilson in characterizing his op- jibe that I was included among those so characterized.
 '"There have been other incidents concerning MT. Wilson and myself in the past that had contributed to a feeling that, to say the least, was not harmonious or cordial. These were recalled and led up to situation which, I repeat, was not intended as a public matter"

DRIVER IS DISCHARGED.

5 One of the drivers working for contractors on the State street pave ment was discharged yesterday after noon on the demand of Director NJ
 A. Kenny. The driver had been pumping the material consisting of trap rock and dirt taken from State street upon private property in North avenue. When the director heard of the occurrence he ordered the con- tractors to remove the dumpings ani place them, as ordered, in upper Nor man street. The material belongs 10 the, city and must be placed by the contractors where the city orders. Director Kenny stated that some of the drivers had to be watched as they would dump the filings upon private property in order to obtain a few cents. The city is using the dumpings for rough filings, for which purpose it does very well after being rolled down.

TIRED OF BRITISH TAXATION.

London. July 2S.-Britons are much puzzled to understand why Walter Winans, the American horse man who lives in England, should finally have made up his mind to sell out in England and devote himself to the turf in Austria and Russia. Was it because of trouble with the controlling body of the English horse shows? a reporter for the Sussex News asked, point blank. R.
 I'd rather not answer" replied MT. Winans, ''but people may think wbat they like about it.'' #
 But whatever may be the Ameri- cans relations with the horse show authorities there is no question that the former is tired of British taxa tion, for he was 'unblushingly cans did' in saying so, as the News re- porter expressed it. He had already contributed about $1,O0O,000 to the government, he said, and thought that was nearly enough.

much time.
Tom Wilson, colored man who
runs in hard luck. he says and who
has only recently been released from
a months sentence on the gang for
fighting, was up on the charge of
stealing $1.25 from Mary Wither-
spoon. He confessed to stealing rs
cents. but stated that he had not
taken any more. He was informed
that to take 75 cents was just as bad
as to take $1.25. and he was given a
choice between fine OF IS or 10 days
service on the chain gang.
