APPEAL DISMISSED IN
 MARION MORSE CASE.
Denial of Her Right to Writ of Habeas
 Corpus Sustained.

The appeal taken by Marion A. Morse of this city against a decision denying her a writ of habeaS corpus in her conviction for violation of the law under which keepers of houses of questionable resort are prosecuted has been dismissed by the United States supreme court.
 The case was brought before the highest tribunal in an effort to have the constitutionality of the Connecticut statute passed upon. The appeal be- ing dismissed, the question was not determined. The case was docketed Marion A. Morse, plaintiff. in error, against Sidney A. Brown, sheriff of New London county. The arguments were made week before last. c. w. Comstock of Montville appearing for the plaintiff and c. B. Whittlesey of New London for the sheriff.
 The Connecticut law imposes a fine of $100 for conviction upon the charge of maintaining a house of bad repute The plaintiff claimed that the statute was not only unjust but unreasonable because the rights of the citizen are not secured as they should be. The contention also was that conviction is apt to be on mere report IS to the character of the house and not upon absolute evidence.

 Every noon the time sent out from the government wreless station at Ar Hngton Va, comes in to the trans forming receiver at his home at No 24 Mountain avenue. and at night he has from hour to- two hours when he may hear twenty or thirty stations that are sending. At a little after o'clock the wireless station at Montauk Point sends out it's call to all the steamers of a certain German line and proceeds to give the news for the steamships, The news naturally is brief, but it comprises all the current events of importance and gives the listeners a forecast of what he may expect in the papers next day.

 The first step toward an association of Yale clubs of New England that will work for the good of the alma mater throughout New England was taken Saturday evening when repre- England met at New London and dis cussed the formation of an associa- tion
 William $. Pardee of New Haven was named as a committee with pow CT to appoint two others, who, with himself will confer with the univer sity authorities to bring about this general New England association.
 Nine Yale clubs sent representa- tiVes to the meeting. Providence, New Haven and Boston were the larg- est clubs represented. F. V. Chappell Yale '98, represented the Yale Alumni association of New London county.
 The meeting was held at 6 o'clock. The representatives of the several clubs went over the proposition in a general way.

It is believed that a great deal of good can be effected The general plan will be to further Yale's interests in New England and to help Yale men in this section. Scholarships may be found ed later and other ways of encourag- ing Yale students from New England to do things at Yale Possibly another form of boosting would be to influence young men, contemplating univer- sity course to make Yale their choice.

E. Lyons, singing and talking comedian. occupies an entertaining place on the bill and there is. many a good laugh in the Allen Delmaine & Co. in their comedy sketch. It serves to show also that MT.

The Five Brag- dons present music, Scotch and Irish comedy. some knockahott and char acter changes in the feature number, Fun in a Vaudeville Agency. They are the big scream.

At 10 o'clock D. m. the Arlington sta ton breaks in with the time, and then sends out all the baseball scores as well as much other news, which is seems they are sending largely for practice. Cape Cod is station fre- quenty heard, and there are many oth- fs whose messages he picks up.
 When he was young man about 7 MT. Booth became familiar with tie Morse code, and this of course is a large help in reading the wireless, al though these operators use the inter national code. There are eleven changes from the Morse, and although that seems a small number, it is enough to make it quite a difficult task sometimes to get a wireless, message completely.
 MT Booth has built his own trans forming receiver, which is of large size and $ arranged so that he can shut out stations from which he does not wish to hear u is said to be the finest transforming receiver of any of those in town. He has no sending apparatus. but may put in a one kilowatt sending station later.
 One natural advantage which he enjoys is in the location of his station on the high land which it occupies. The antennae are strung to a point on the pole 55 feet above the ground.
