Women Buys Property
Once Held for 100000

A meeting Of the trustees Of the
Connecticut College for Women at
New London was held at the office OF
E. D. Robbins, the general counsel Of
the New Haven railroad, in New Ha-
ven yesterday. 1t was to discuss a
site for the college at New London.
and property was finally bought from
the Thames Improvement Company,
which is controlled by prominent New
London business men.
The site is on the west bank Of the
Thames river, a short distance above
the finish of the Yale-Harvard Var
sity roe, near the docks Of the
Thomas Tow Boat shipyard. and un-
der the brow of the hills that run
along the west side of the river To-
Norwich
+ The purchase was recomme ended By
Morton F. Plant, who was chaiTmsn
of yesterdays meeting, and who has
offered 81, 000, 900 to sustain the school
The meeting was short one. At
its close MIR Robbins gave out tn.
statement:
THE committee on site for the col
lege, composed of Morton T. Plant,
Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, Edward ID.
Robbins and Oliver GiIders1eeve, re-
ported to the trustees in favor Of pur-
chasing two tracts of Land in New
London from the Thames Improve
rnent Company, and the trustees unan-
imusly accepted this report and ap-
proved the purchase of the land.
THE first tract, bought for $4,000,
consists of 1,4O0 feet Of water front
on Thomas river, together with land
extending back from the river, which
had been intended for industrial pur-
poses, amounting in all to 2s acres.
THE second tract, bought for 49,
600, extends from the first named
tract to Mohegan avenue. It is a
body of land amounting to 30 acres,
and comprises $50 building lots, y Of
which lots face on Michigan ave-
nue."
1t is expected that construction Of
the college will begin within a rea-
Sonable time. The Thames Improve
ment Company was organized in 1898
with a comparatively small capital
fzation. A. H. Chapel, the president.
is also president of the Thames Tow
Boat Company of New London. T.
V. Chapel of that city is secretary.
The land which the trustees Of the
Connecticut College for Women pur-
chased yesterday was the property
which the trustees asked the Legfssa-
ture to give them the privilege to take
by right of eminent domain. Origin
ally the owners wanted $4,000 for the
land, it is said.
The site is said to be a very de-
sirabae one. 1t is expected that Mr..
Plant, who has done 50 much for the
neighboring town of Groton, will %
much for the college.

New Teachers
Appointed To
H. s. Faculty

c.. T. Beardsley, Jr., was elected
architect by the Board Of Education,
last night, to draw up the plans for
a school on the Poplar street property
recently purchased by the board. DR..
Deane reminded the board members
that a new school is urgently needed.
The appropriation ON hand is none too
large and the board probably Will
adopt the expedient of building an g.
room school on a 16-room foundation
SO that the building can be enlarged
when necessary.
Of the High School faculty, the fol-
lowing We're appointed on recommen-
dalton of Supt Deane: William A.
Case, mathematics, salary $1,000; Mrs.
Jane Coughlin Wright, English and
history, $1,000; Miss Lucy S. Curt[ss,
general assistant in academic depart
ment, $3.50; A. E. Blackstone, assistant
in the commercial department, $500.
The designations of Misses Mcclellan,
Irwin and Witt were accepted. Miss
Witt was one of the oldest members
of the High School faculty. She spe-
cialized in mathematics and her ex-
cellent instruction in that course is
remembered gratefully by thousands
of former High School pupils through
out THE city.
Upon recommendation of DR.. Deane
the board made arrangements to pro-
vide halliday assistants for teaching
principals, at an addition Of $25 a
year to the regular salary.
Dr. Deane asked that the board es-
tablish a minimum standard Of 80 as
a passing mark for students at the
City Normal School. DIR. D. H. Mon
ahan objected. Action was deferred
for meeting.
Bubbling fountains for drinking pur-
poses were recommended in place of
drinking cups. The board looked ia
vorably upon the idea and will act
later.
Philip Sheridan Assembly, knights
Of Columbus, sent a communication to
last nights meeting asking permission
to present flag to one of the schools
Permission was given and the board
{ extended it's thanks to the mbly.

Women and Children Up to
Their Waists in Water
When Taken Off Sinking
Vessel.

Northport, L. I. Aug. 15-Six women
two of them holding children upon
their shoulders while they stood in
water up to their waists on board the
Nylked, a steam yacht belonging to
Benjamin F. DeKlyn, of New York
city, had narrow escapes from death
in the sound near this place Saturday.
The Nylked ran into Blacklist Rock,
about one hundred yards off shore,
and Immediately began to sink.
There is an immense hole in her bow
on the starboard side, about eighteen
inches below the water line.
So heavy was the volume Of water
that rushed into the hold Of the craft
that the cook had narrow escape
from being drowned there. Seven
minutes after the yacht struck the
party aboard and the crew of ten men
had been taken off and the vessel had
gone to- the bottom, with thirty feet
of water above her.
The women and children were rela-
tives of Mr.. De Klyn and that the
man is a friend of the owner of the
yacht. After being carried from the
yacht in her own lifeboat all those
who escaped drowning were cared for
over night in one Of the cottages, and
this morning they left in two automo-
biles for their homes in Connecticut
Captain Horton, at the wheel, was
almost knocked down when the yacht
struck, but he steadied the Nylked
and signalled for reverse speed. He
kept the Nylked as close to shore as
possible.
Cries from the cook made him
aware that there was serious trouble.
Leaning over the bow he saw there a
hole about two feet square, through
which the water was rushing rapidly.
The cook had to flee from his galley
to save his life.
So fast did the Nylked ship water
that in a few minutes her deck was
level with the waters Of the Sound.
The women and children waited
anxiously while the crew, by order of
Captain Horton, lowered 1ifeboats.
By the time the boats were launched
and manned the women were up to
their waists in water. The yacht,
fortunately, had gone down on an
even keel and the women were able to
keep a footing on the deck.

Alias Jimmy
Valentine Triumph
Of Poll Season

"Alias Jimmy Valentine is the best
thing the Poll Stock has done this
season. AS a play it is in the domain
of things that never happen in real
life. It's conclusions are beyond the
borderland of the possible, and yet it
is very frequently in accordance with
things as they are. Strong arm men.
yeggmen, confidence men, forgers.
burglars there be. But rich fathers Of
confiding daughters do not employ
them as cashiers Of banks, nor say,
take her my boy, she is yours In
Alias Jimmy Valentine we have a
wholesale reformation Of crooks bred
in the bone, fellows who of necessary
psychology could no more keep from
stealing than they could keep from
eating. Yet to make the play accept
able they are all reformed, the chief
crook becomes the hero, he marries
the heroine and lives happy ever af-
ter.
This story hinges about the career
whose speciality is safes, which he
opens by feeling out the combination.
He is relentlessly pursued by a De-
tective Doyle, played by Frank Mon
roe of the original company in such
a way as to glorify the Hawkshaw
business forever. The best parts Of
the drama are the dialogues between
Doyle and Valentine. John Ince as the
latter. There you have detection as
it ought to be practiced and criminals
as they would be if they were perfect
gntlemen, which they seldom are, ex-
cepting only a few bank presidents
who launch into crime from the in
side.
But goodness me. The author has
his own way. He has made his JIM
my a lovable fellow. Almost any
girl would fall in love with him, espe-
cially under the magnetism of the
role as Ince puts it over.
What's the use? Suppose it's all IN
no mans land. Lets be happy Lets
believe for the time being that your
bred in the bone crooks will reform
when a girl smiles, instead of only
long enough to see another one smile.
In fact the thing is So we'll done by
the Poll actors that scruples have to
be left behind and one has to go the
playwright's way.
The company contains the original
children, who played with the first
company. Little Kitty who is res
cued from the great safe is one OF
them. Blanche Hall, the new leading
woman was most satisfactory Her
part, that of Rose Lane, gave less
opportunity, than almost any other
part in the play, but she made much

THE Los ANGELES ELECTION.

The Los Angeles municipal elec-
ton Tuesday is especially interesting
for two reasons. First, because it
was the first important election in
the state of California since the adop-
ton Of woman suffrage. Second, be-
cause it would in some degree reflect
the effect on public sentiment in Los
Angeles of the recent remarkable
revelations in the Mcnamara trial.
Job Hartman, one of the attorneys
for the defense in the Mcnamara
case, was the socialist candidate for
mayor against the old mayor, George
Alexander, the good government
candidate. Alexander appears to
have been elected by the overwhelm-
ing majority of thirty-fiye thousand
There can, therefore, be but one con
clusion as to the influence Of the Nc
Namara case with all its startling
disclosures on the public mind of
Los Angeles. 1t has given a great
setback to the cause of socialism in
that city.
As to the effect of the woman vote,
the result is not quite so clear. About
eighty five thousand women had reg
sterod to vote, a very large percent
age, indeed. and showing that the
great majority Of women Of Los An,
geles desire to exercise the right Of

one Of the issues in the election
was drastic prohibition ordinance.

A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY.

So absorbed are our people with
the one business, that Of producing
Oh, we lose sight of other golden op-
portunitios about us. one Of these Is
fruit growing. There are certain
fruits that do exceptionally well In
the vicinity of Tulsa. Two Of these
are peaches and cherries. Both may
be depended on for good yields al
most every year. Last summer the
peach crop was particularly fine.
The winters here are mild so that
the peach buds live through that sea-
son without danger Of freezing and
temperatures seldom go low enough
in the spring season to ondanger the
blossom.
Peach culture could no doubt be
carried on here at fine profit and
II ought 10 be done. yet we have no
peach orchard near Tulsa worthy Of
the name. We do not begin to grow
enough of this delicious and COM
mercially profitable fruit to supply
our home market, but ship in large
quantities every year, This should
not be the case. II Is simply a waste
of money. There is great opening
here for good industrious pains-tak-
ing fruit growers and we hope the
day is not far distant when some OF
the greatest commercial peach or
chards in the world are planted in
Tulsa county.
Peach culture is carried on very
successfully in Texas to the south OF
us, whore conditions are not so fav,
orable as they are here. 1t is also
carried on successfully in Southwest
Missouri in the Ozark region, where
conditions are not as good as thcv
are In this part of Oklahoma. Here
we have the golden means of tempera-
,ure and the season AT wnicn the
peach crop would rlpen here would
enable growers to find a most fav-
orable market in cities to the north
Of us as we would be between the
peacn seasons of Texas and NJ ssouri.

j. $, Holden, editor of the New Era
at Fort Gibson today paid Sl51 for
the old type and equipment Of the
