New Haven. Conn, nov 23.-The largest
and most enthusiastic crowd of Yale under

the railroad station to-day and filed the
station platform and yard. over twelve
hundred undergraduates were IN the party.
The men checred Captain Howe, Jack Field

for Yale. An amusing feature of the team s
departure was the presence of a theatrical

general attitude their confidence is plain.

Special Examiner Boyle would be in

trains entering them Because of this
condition of affairs Cosby alleges that
not only are patrons of the Richmond
transfer Company charged a higher
rate than would be the case If there
We're open competition, but that such
action has caused him to lose many
thousands OF dollars.
Mr. Boyle will investigate the case

plant is well founded and also whether
the railroads have the right to keep
