ARREST 3 YALE FRESHIES
Say Students Burned Bridges
and Wrecked Trolley Cars.

I5N Telegraph 20 Tn" Tribune.
New Haven oct. l4.-Three Yale
freshmen, Homer a. Phelps, Horace c.
Bradbury and Horace r. Potter all be
lieved to be from New York city. We're
arrested early this morning, charged with
being ringleaders in an affair Of vandal-
ism which took place in Hnlhouse ave
nue.. Two bridges over the railroad cut
were set afire, several trolley cars were
wrecked and red danger lights along the
streets were stolen.
The Fire Department had a difficult
task TO put out the flames. which had
gained much headway because large
quantities of kerosene had been poured
upon the bridges before the fires were
set. Director Chittenden Of the Sheffield
scientific School, the department in
which the trio are enrolled, said tonight
that a thorough investigation had been
started. In the police court to-day the
cases were continued until Wednesday.
1t is probable that the matter will be
brought TO the notice of the faculty on
Monday and left with them TO discover
the offenders and punish them.

REVEAL NEW AIRCRAFT
Glider Comes Forth from Work
shop of the WrightS.
LACK OF WIND BALKS TRIAL
Latest Flyer, Model of Lightness,
Planned to Conquer the Wind
Weighs Only 145 Pounds.

KITTY Hawk, y. c., oct 14.-With the
assembling to-day of the Wright broth
ers' latest development in the science Of
aviation, spectators were given their first
view of the new flying device which is
to be used By the famous aeroplane in
yentors in the solution of the problem OF
sustained flight with minimum power
The new glider, as the Wrights call it,
differs only slightly in form from .he
machine now i'm use by them, and is not
a buzZard shaped affair, as has been re-
ported. 1t is much lighter than any ma
chine used by the Wrights. weighing
only about one hundred and forty-fivc
pounds
There was not enough wind to-day 70
ny the new aeroplane from Kill Devil
Hills and the first flight is expected to
take place next Monday, as the Wrights
insist upon observing the Sabbath.
p When the parts of the machine were
assembled to-day its appearance bore
cut the statement OF Orvilie Wright
that it was intended merely as a glider.
II is biplane, the planes measuring
- feet across from tip to tip and 512
feet in breadth. t'rom upper TO lower
plane there is a space of 5ia feet. The
new glider is supported on skids nine
inches high. on the forward edge Of
the lower plane is a single seat for the
operator, no provision being made for
passenger. The control levers are
arranged the same as the power-driven
machines. There is a double rear YER
tical rudder and horizontal tail plane,
exactly like the power aeroplanes eX
cent that the tail frame is shorter and
lighter.
one noticeable change in the glider is
the lifting curve of the main plane. This
curve, which runs from the entering
edge TO the rear Of the plane, is iiatter
than the old style.
There is no apparent reason why the
glider should not be able to travel a con-
siderable distance i'm stiff wind, and II
Is believed that II will be easier TO CON
troll than any machine now in use.

Huntington, w. Va, oct. 14.-There is
one unhappy student in the Marshall
College here to-day. He has been at
work nearly all the afternoon, and his
task has been a laborious one-he has
been trying TO scrub off his resemblance
TO a golden image. Yesterday he was
ready 10 take his bath in the dormitory
when a number Of sophomores whose
displeasure he had incurred, entered the
room After dumping hottie Of liquid
gilt into the bothtub they ducked the
freshman several times. Then they
strapped the young man on a couch in
the sun and allowed the shining coat to
dry.

ment good naturedly. Vengeance, ne

was "a matter of life and death and was
imperative that his sister he taken north
AT the earliest moment. The delay thus
caused in getting Miss Montufar TO this
citv for treatment, said her brother, was
responsible for her death. and he gave
the opinion that if she had come here in
time her life could have been saved. As
IL was the enforced Gelay had given the
disease a chance to make such progress
that her recovery was practically impos-
sible.
