YALE OFFERS TAFT
A PROFESSORSH|P
Law School Endowment Pays
$4,000 YearIy-He May
Accept.

WASHINGTON, Dec 11.-Presi-
dent Taft is considering an offer of
| the Kent professorship at the Yaie
Law School. The place, which has
been vacant for several years, and
was last filled by Prof. Phelps, at one
| time American minister to Great
Britain, has been formally rendered
to Mr. Taft, and he has talked over
the offer with his cabinet, but ar
rived at no decision. Should he ac-
cept it, his relation to Yale Tniver-
sity would be much the same as was
former President Cleveland's rela-
tion to Princeton. Mr.. Taft is con-
sidering this offer on one side and
his original plans to practise law on
the other. Some Of his friends here
incline to the belief that he will ac-
cept the Yale place, Thought they do
not expect he will make up his mind
before next month.
The President has had the offer un-
der consideration for some time. He
poration, and his desire to return to
New Haven has been weighed against
one to go back to Cincinnati, "hang
out his shingle." take his oldest son,
Robert into his office, and establish
a law practise in his home city.
Edward John Phelps, who last held
the Kent professorship. died in 1900.
He was a distinguished lawyer and
an active Democrat.
Whatever decision is reached by the
President it is practically certain that
he will take a rest of a month after
he leaves the White House. He is
seriously considering a trip to Au-
gusta, Ga, where he has spent twL
winter vacations since he became
President. The President is fond of
Augusta and is doubly attached to
Georgia city because it was the home
of his former aide. Major A. w. Butt,
who went down with the Titanic.
Within the last few days Mr.. Taft
has taken up the question of
Georgia vacation with several Au-
gusta friends. and is expected to de-
eide the matter shortly.
The Kent endowment pays IS, 900 a
year.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. IL
President Hadley. of Yale, did not
deny this morning that there had
been an informal conference on the
subject of President Taft accepting
the Kent professorship of law at
Yale He did say. however, that the
matter had not been formally acted
upon in any way.

Shifting the responsibility for any
panic with serious results that might
occur in the building to the shoulders
tee of the Board of Education yes
terday afternoon gave no promise of
relief from the existing conditions at
the old Elliot Street School.
While they admitted, although not
willingly, that there might be dan
ger, the committee members declared
that the parents, and not the board,
would be responsible for any harm
that might befall the $40 small chill
dren.
This indictment was returned by
the committee. following the appear
ance of committee of parents to
urge the erection of a new building.
The latter heard the charge after they
had declared the structure insanitary
to a point where incurable diseases
were spread, that floors had sagged
and there was considerable fire haz-
ard, but made no comment.
Parents Deny Responsibility.
Even after making these charges
SdCil LlcllpSI VI liS pdi SoihlAAe-
tee, individually and collectively, de-
MED that they were in any way re-
sponsible for the present alarm felt
by the mothers for the safety of their
little ones. All claimed that they had
been misquoted in newspaper reports.
but when the question was asked:
"Why did you not then demand a
retraction?" all were silent.
Commissioner Frederic L. Johnson,
a relative of one of the parents COM
mittee members, in a fiery address,
declared that the blame and respon-
slbility for any alarm that might be
entertained by the mothers could be
placed on the Evening Star He said
further that this style of journalism
was to be abhorred. Pressed after
wards to point out any misstatement
of fact that had been made in the
Star articles, Mr.. johnson hemmed
and hawed and then dismissed the
subject with wave of his hand.
Whether or not this was an attempt
to relieve his relative of any respon-
sibility could not be ascertained.
An opposite view was taken by
Commissioner Charles p. Taylor, who
was brought to his feet when the
argument of the committee reverted
to the panicky conditions at the
school.

Strikebreakers employed to
handle freight on the ;Monon

cars, attempted to pull off a little
game Sunday.
AS a result, Frank Smith, one
of the strikebreakers, inhabits the
Pullman no more. From II
O'Clock this morning until the
10th of July he will be a guest of
the city at the bridewell.
According to police, Smith,
with several other men, was
shooting crap in the drawing
room of Pullman car in the Mo-
non freight yards. When police
arrived all escaped but Smith. 1t
was alleged that Smith was apro-
fessional gambler, and made a
business of travelling around the
country, locating wherever there
was strike, and fleeing strike
breakers cut of money they earn
ed by taking places of union men.
Smith denies this, and declared
that when it came down to heec-
ing strikebreakers, it couldn't be
done. Most of them, he declared,

ever hoped to learn.

1t is reportedsan grounds that gen.

that there is a woman in the case.
That McWhinney made prepara-

be evident from the manner in which
he arranged his business affairs. Those
who are acquainted with his affairs
say he withdrew his account at To-
cal bank and made arrangements for
other property interests. .
Shortly after his departure, his pat

on business trip, but would return
soon. AS far as can be ascertained
none of his patients have heard from
him since he left Richmond on the day
following the last election.

QUAKERS GIRLS IN
new FIRE DRILL
Troop Down Fire Escapes in
Kimonos, Holding Tow 4,
els on Frosty Night.

Clothed in the first wrap that came
to hand, each holding a towel in her
hand, the co-eds living in Earlham
hall trooped down fire escapes and
descended stairs last night at 10
o'clock when the fire alarm gong
sounded. ...
The rather grotesQue sight of girls
clambering down the walls of the dor
mitory in garments other than those
used in the class rooms and holding
towels in their hands was occasioned
by the desire of the college, authorities
to see if the girls would stampede in
case of fire alarm. ...
None of the co-eds swooned, al
though some, complained that the ce.
ment sidewalks were cold and that
their loose wraps and kimonos were
scant protection against a frosty No
vember evening. Some of them wrap.
ped the towels, which the regulations
prescribe they must carry in the fire
drill, around their necks to keep from
catching colds. -.-
When the girls reached the ground
they marched to tablet affixed at a
prominent place and registered. After
the noses had been counted and the
signatures Tailed by the professor in
charge of the building, the girls were
permitted to return to their rooms.

MINISTERS SUPPORT
BUTCHERS ACTION
Pass Strong Resolution Fav-
aoring. Closing of All Meat
Shops on Sundays.

. The butchers who are trying to
keep their shops closed on Sundays
found a powerful ally yesterday in the
Ministerial association which in a
strong resolution endorses the step
and passed mild structure on the &C.
tion of few who would attempt to
break down this effort of the meat
men," .
1t will be remembered that it was
only after heroic effort on the part OF
leading butchers that : all of them
finally consented to the step. Through
some i'll advised publicity, as some
butchers termed T. it, the impression
was subsequently created that not all
butchers would obey the ruling.
The following week all butchers de
clared their willingness to close on
Sundays, and canvass of the house
wives of the city indicated that they
were heartily in favor of the step
! Some butchers asserted that proprie
tors of other stores were laying in
supplies of meats and selling them or
Sundays.
Text Of Resolution.
This step provoked discussion al
the Ministerial association meetine
yesterday and the following resolution
was passed: -...... - - .-
The Ministerial Association, in ses
sion yesterday morning, expressed lis
sympathy with the meat dealers who
are trying to secure the Sabbath rest
for themselves and clerks and mos'
earnestly deprecated what appears to
be the action of few who would at
tempt to break down this effort of the
meat men by keeping open store or
the Sabbath.
This is a matter of justice Every
man has divine right to the Sabbath
rest. To rob a man of this rest unnec
essarily is just as dishonest as to rot
him of his money.
The wrong is not lessened but az
gravated when thoughtless Christians
buy meat on the Sabbath
He who would rob another of his
Sabbath deserves it not for himself
and under a just God will not long re
tain it

An Ordinance Introduced in
Council Providing that Sa-
loonists Must Place Lights
on Alley Doors.
MEAT INSPECTION
ORDINANCE PASSED
DIR. T. H. Davis Is Held Re-
sponsible for Rigid En-
forcement of Provisions of
the Ordinance.

The recent stabbing affrays and the
reports of burglaries from various
parts of the city is believed to have
influenced the city council last even
ing In accepting fayorably an ordi-
nance that provides for electric lights
in the alleys back of saloons and liq-
uor houses.
Chief of Police Gormon recently ap-
peared before the board of works urg-
ing that it be made obligatory on sa-
loonists to place lights behind their
places of business to assist the police
in preventing crime and to safeguard
citizens who are comueiled to use the
alleys. ~zsa2 ~
ing before council saloonists will be
compelled to pla8e a sixteen candle

lishrnents and keep it lighted during
all business hours.
DR.. T. H. Davis, city health offfcex
was held responsible for the rigid en-
forcement of the meat inspection ordf-
nance passed last night, providing that
an expert butcher inspect meats at the
HOlZapfel plant. The new ordinance
does not provide that the inspection
be done according to the rules and
regulations of the department of agri-
culture, and several councilmen assert
ed their doubt about an impartial in
spection under the new measure. Mem
bers said that the new ordinance was
only temporary.
The ordinance demanding lights be-
hind saloons was introduced by Coun-
Gilman Won Pein. He proposed the or
dinance to promote public safety. It
was favorably received by the coun-
Gil, but because of few clauses which
the council decided ought to be regu-
lated, the rules were not suspended
for the passage of the ordinance, and it
was referred to the ordinance commit
tee.
Building Code.
Because Mayor Zimmerman decided
that the building code was not in pro-
per form to present to the council, the
matter was put off until the commit
tee appointed for revising and shorten
ing it makes a report to the council.

tions. Secretary C. w. Jordan of the
Commercial club was present expect-
ing to discuss the code with the coun-
Gil. Mr.. Jordan and w. X. Bradbury,
of the Commercial club revised the
code recently and believe it is in prop
er form to present to the city officials.
Mayor Zimmerman appointed Council
men Burdsall, Kaufman, Waidele and
Won Pein to act as a committee to re-
wise the code with the Commercial
club committee.
Meat Inspection.
The meat inspection ordinance was
unanimously passed after some debate.
Mayor Zimmerman said the ordinance,
which provides that the slaughtering
and transportation of all meats shall
be done under the supervision of a
