nosed out Princeton by the score of COZ
to 5619 In their annual track meet on
University Field this afternoon The
high wind and cold weather made fast
work impossible, but the meet was char
acterized by a number of close races.
Yale captured eight first places, as OPP
posed to five for Princeton.
Yale's greatest advantage lay in the
field events. where she captured all but
one first. The visitors took all three
places in the hammer throw and the 100
yard hurdles. 1t was this latter event
that proved the downfall of the Tigers.
Bryan. Princeton's only representative to
qualify for the Anal heat of the 12o-yard
hurdles. had the race well in hand and
probably would have won. but he tripped
at the last hurdle and fell to the ground,
with the result that the three Yale men
crossed the line first
Princeton captured the two first places

coded this event. Stickney of Princeton
ran .heady race in the mile and finished

Robbed Grave to Use Body
for Insurance SWindle

NEW YORK, Oct. ARSON, grave
robbery and conspiracy to defraud an
insurance company and a fraternal
order of $1,000 are the charges against
Arthur S. Hughes. a miner, of For
syth, Montana, who was arrested in
this city yesterday.
According to Sheriff William Moses,
of Rosebud county Montana, who is
here to take him back, Hughes and
his wife planned ingeniously to make
il appear that he had been burned to
death last March in a fire that des-
troyed their home. The plan mis-
carried when Mrs. Hughes married
Elliot Rice, a friend of her husband,
few days after the fire, arousing
the suspicion of the authorities that
Hughes had met with foul play.
The newly married couple were ar
rested on charges of homicide, Short
" afterward it was discovered that
the grave of a man named Craig, who
was killed in railroad accident be-
fore the fire had been robbed. The
body which had been buried as that
of Hughes was disinterred. 1t was
shown to be that of Craig.
The Montana Life Insurance Com
pany and the Woodmen of the World
refused to pay claims of $1,000 each
made against them by Mrs. Hughes,
and ca search was started for the
missing man.
Sheriff Moses traced Hughes to this
city, where Pinkerton detectives
found him employed as a longshore-
man, and he was arrested.
In the meantime the charge of hon.
icide against Mrs. Hughes was
dropped and the indictment was
found upon which Hughes will be ex-
tradited

Storck, of Red Bank, wealthy piano

brother of Otto Knecht, who was
named correspondent in the Storck
divorce case.
Storck claims that the furniture
was removed fro mhis Red Bank
home on the nights of August II and
September Z by his ex-wife, under
the supervision of Otto Knecht and
placed in the Knickerbocker storage
warehouse. in Arlington street. on
August %, so he says, the furniture
was sent from Newark to New York.
A pitched battle was fought in the
Storck home recently, when the hus
band and his friends attempted to
disodge his former wife and her
friends. The fight resulted in in
juries to a number of men and women
and several arrests.

Thirty-three Governors
Send kilograms Which
FOrtify Thaw Defense

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 4.-Supple-
mentary briefs opposing the extradi-
ton of Harry K. Thaw were filed
with Governor Felker today.
With the briefs were submitted
kilograms from the Governors OF
thirty three States, all of whom
said that they had no knowledge OF
a request ever having been made in
their tSates for the extradition of a
lunatic.
The message from William II.
Painter, Acting Governor of Missouri,
is typical He said
Executive department OF TINS
State has no knowledge of record or
extradition sought or honored for es-
caped lunatlc or insane person
charged with crime where person
sought had been adjudged insane.
Thaw's attorneys set up that the
reouisition papers show no indict-
ment against their clients; that on
the date of the alleged conspiracy TO
escape from the insane asylum at
Matteawan, N. Y, he was insane and
so legally incapable of committing a
crime, and that on all the evidence
should be determined that the real
purpose of New York State is to OBJ
tain the return of Thaw to Mattea-
wan. They argue that it is the legal
duty of the executive to refuse the
requisition.
