New Haven, Conn, Nov. ia
rigid inquiry will be made into the
disturbance in the Hyperion theatre
last night by both the police ana
Yale University authorities. In the
excitement which attended the eJec-
ton of students from the theatre by
police officers after the stage hanos
had turned on a hose and drencheo

audience in the theatre had been a
happy one until about $3.50 O'CLOCK,
the student body and Yale Alumni
Joined heartily in the singing Oh COZ
lege songs which the chorus OF Gapy
Deslys company had started. Inc
Yale men had been asked to JOIN IN
the songs.
The audience was dumbfounded
when the curtain went down aiter

that the play had ended. Chief Oh
Police Cowles says he had not order
ed the play curtailed although he mad
given instructions to the police cap

leging this having come to Chlei
Cowles
Manager Eldridge who represents
the Shuberts in the management OF
the theatre, claims that the trouble
was due to Chief Cowles ordering
everything cut out of the piece but
the music. He attributed the riot 10
the demand OF the students that they
be given the entire performance.
The damage 10 the theatre is plac-
ed at several hundred dollars, some
furnishings in the boxes having been
demolished when thrown upon the
footlights. chandeliers broken, the
drop curtains punctured and some oil
the scenery hurt by the water thrown
upon it.
On the street the disturbance was
the worst in several years and FOL
lowed an effort Of squad OF police
to clear the sidewalk on the college
side directly in front of Vanderbilt
dormitory. The likelihood is that
the six students arrested on the
charge OF breach of the peace Will
be before the police court tomorrow
There is the possibility. too, that the
students arrested can prove that they
are not the actual disturbers.

BURGLARS CALLED
ON SHAT 1SBURY
TOWN CLERK
Attempt to Enter Office Of John
M. Gordon
GIVEN WARM RECEPTION
One Of the Thieves Made Target For
FuslIade Of Bullets from Au-
tomato Rifle

There was an attempt to commit
burglary at the Office OF John Gordon
town clerk in SALISBURY, last night.
The thief was frightened away be-
fore he had effected an entrance INTO
the building and made his escape 1oi-
lowed by several bullets fired at him
by the town clerk.
Mr.. Gordon, who sleeps in the OIL
fee. was awakened shortly before
midnight, by the efforts of the would
be burglar who was attempting 10
Dry up one OF the window sashes
with a short iron bar or some instru-
ment of that nature. The town
clerk arose and without lighting
lamp seized his automatic rifle and
opened the door. AT that hour 1t
was so dark that Mr.. Gordon was
unable TO distinguish objects distinct
ly. but he plainly observed the out
lines of the man near the WINDOW
and also OF another who was appar-
emily at work near one OF the win
dows in the house of John Bradish
across the road.
The noise of the opening door
startled both OF the men and they
ran in different directions. The
town clerk opened fire on the man
who had been working at his oliice
window and kept pumping the bull
let's after the fellow as long as he
was in sight. In the darkness he
was unable to locate his flying tar
get and the shots went wild.
AS soon as he could reach the near
est telephone, Mr.. Gordon called up
States Attorney W. j. Meagher in
this village and also warned the EN-
ployes in charge of the station at
North Bennington. No trace OF the
thieves could be found last night and
no suspicious persons have been 10
Gated during the day.
II is the general opinion that the
attempt to rob the two houses was

SIX DEER KILLED.
BY BENNINGTON
SPORTSMEN
End Of Week Reports Are of
Better Luck
MCOYS RECORD BUCK
Weighed 327 Pounds and Was Shot
in Dorset After a Hunt Of
Less Than Three Hours

The first deer of the season, the
good-sized bucks shot by Joseph La
fame and Louis Irish in Woodford,
were brought into the village Satur-
day night and were observed by
large number of persons at the Ed
dington market. The two deer had
hardly been unloaded when William
Hager OF Woodford who is employed
at the electric car barn in North Ben
nington, drove into town with buck
that would weigh over 200 pounds
The deer was loaded on a trolley car
and taken to North Bennington.
A number of the hunters came in
Saturday and Sunday and hung up
their rifles until the opening of the
1912 season. The weather has been
rather severe and the woods have not
been so comfortable as in years past.
G.. p. Endress and E. B. Patterson
returned Sunday from Searsburg.
They failed to shoot a buck but Mr..
Endress brought home a handsome
fox.
Letter Carriers Turner II. Cranston
and Fred L. Harmon have come in
from the mountains, neither of them
with a deer.
Parker V. Cole, who was with a
party which went into camp in Pow
nal on the opening day, is back in
the Office of the Cole-Mortland com
pany. He failed to get a buck but
one OF his hands is bandaged to cover
up some severe burns received while
attempting to fry pancakes on an oil
stove in camp.
The luckiest deer hunter from Ben.
nington is Lawrence Mccoy who
went to Dorset on Thursday. He
left here on the IL o'clock train and
about o'clock in the afternoon shot
a buck that weighed 1927 pounds Nc
Coy got his Luck while standing in
the highway and only one shot was
necessary bring it down. This il

MEXICAN REBELS
MUSTN'T PLOT ON
TEXAS SOIL
American Business Has Already
Suffered
COST WAS MANY MILLIONS
Arrest Of Gen. Reyes Will Probably
Mean His Deportation to Save
More Trouble

Washington. Nov. 2O.-The arrest
of Gen. Reyes at San Antonio on a
Federal Grand Jury indictment charg
ing him and his lieutenants with con-
spiracy to violate the neutrality laws
of the United States, is regarded
here as the first step in the program
of the State Department to insist on
the deportation of Gen. Reyes and
his aids as undesirable aliens.
There have been arrests and indict
ments in the past for violation OF
the neutrality laws, but these actions
were taken after the expeditions had
been conducted against the friendly
government, so that in the Reyes ar
rests the Administration makes a
departure. It has clearly for its
purpose the prevention of damage
rather than punishment after the
damage has been done.
When the state department first
became convinced that Gen. Reyes
was actually going to attempt to use
Texas for the base of another Next
can revolution the intimation was
conveyed to Reyes, according to re
liable information here, that the self
exiIed Mexican general had better
move away from the Mexican from
tier, as Secretary Knox intended to
have him deported as an undesirable
alien upon the first overt act upon
his part.
The determination of the admins
tration to prevent, as far as this
country can prevent, another uphea-
val in Mexico, where the United
States has more than a billion dol
lars OF commercial interests at stake,
rests on two balance sheets which
have been recently struck. One is
the casting up of the accounts of the
federal administration showing that
the military mobilization on the Mex
lean frontier cost more than $4,000
600, besides the expenses OF the de-
partment of justice and the customs
division in guarding the frontier
against neutrality violations by the
Maderistas, which amounted to an.
other 100000.
The second balance sheet has just
been made public by the Bureau OF
Statistics, which shows that for nine
months ended September, 1911 which
includes the entire period of the Ma
dero revolution, the foreign com
MERGE between the United States anC
Mexico fell off to the amount of 80,
$4,000, of which sum $6,607OO0 was
decrease of our exports to Mexico
and S3,S25,000 was decrease of oul
imports from that country. Thus
American business men lost the sale
of more than $6,5O0,OO0 worth o.
goods and the government in addit
ion to the expense of mobilizing thC

MOVE PLANT TO VEReENNEs
Troy Scale Company Epeeted to En-
pIoy at Least so Men.

Vergennes, Nov. Ex-senator II. b.
Borden of Wallingford and w. X.
Hare of Albany, N. Y, have purchas-
ed OF the Rev. p. A. Campeau of
Shelbourne the property formerly
known as the Vergennes Manufacture
ing companys plant. 1t consists OF
"A saw and single mill and is fully
equipped with machinery to do all
kinds of work in wood The power
for the plant is furnished by one
steam and one gasoline engine.
Work will be begun at the plant
next week to manufacture frames for
scales and trucks, and boxes for
shipping purposes for the Troy Scale
company of Troy, ~ Y. As soon as
arrangements can be made, the prop
erty will be turned over to the Troy
Scale company which will eventually
move its scale works from Troy to
this city. This will necessitate the
putting of other buildings on the pro
perry for which there is ample room,
as there is a frontage of so or 80 feet
and a depth Of 200.
II Is expected that when the plant
is fully started that at least 90 men
will be employed and that this force
will be increased as demand may re-
quire. Senator Borden IS still at
work on plans to utilize the water
power owned by this city at the falls
on which he was voted an option
some time ago, and confidently ex-
poets to enduce other manufacturing
plants to move here.

though the deer had rather small
horns, it was good stocky buck
Nearly 30 bucks have been report
ed in the towns of Manchester and
Dorset and it is stated in Arlington
that fully that number have been
killed in that town.
There are five more days of hunt
ing and there is reason to believe
that the seasons kill will approach
close to the record Of last year when
144 bucks were shot in this county.
George Wright secured large
buck near the Dewey camp in Wood
ford Saturday. During his two days
in the woods he saw and shot at IL
deer. The rest of the party so far
have not been fortunate enough to
even see one.
Deputy Warden Allen K. Briggs
this noon sent in the following addit-
ional record of deer killed in Sears
burg: Peter Reando, 1870 pounds; AL
len E. Briggs, 225 pounds; Fred
Smith, 225 pounds; George O'Brien,

Alya Pike, 200 pounds; Ira Smith, 1870
pounds; Jesse Smith, $50 pounds.
Warden Briggs has already report
