 CAPTAIN FOR YALE
 NINE IS POSTPONED
Rumored That Other Play CTS Will Suffer-Har- yard Offers to
 Compromise

New Haven, Conn.,, October 19-The Yale university baseball team today de- cided to postpone indefinitely election oi a successor to Captain Milburn. who with four other players. has been disquali- fled for violating the Yale eligibility rule concerning playing summer baseball. No explanation was made public.
 Disqualification of the players has ca used one of the greatest sensations in years at Yale There were many rii- mors tonight that other players would be declared ineligible but nothing off cial could be learned. Press dispatches from Cambridge indicating that Harvard would be willing to waive the intercol- legiate agreement, owing to the techni- cal violation. were read with interest. It was stated. however, that Yale would not change it's policy.
 It was learned on good authority that the five players virtually received per- mission to play summer baseball from one or more members of the Yale base ball committee

cally full and complete control and man. agement thereof, and that under such sy stem the chief of police had little or no authority. We find that Dr. J. S. Winters has been derelict and negligent in the performance of his duties in that he failed or refused to investigate various and sundry charges preferred against po- licemen to notify other members of his committee of such charges. except one member of such committee who had two brothers on the police force, one Of whom was affected by such char-e: therefore, we recommend that Dr. J. s. Winters tender his resignation as a mem Der of your body. and that the same be accepted by you when so rendered. AS to the allusion to MT. Ernest Milton by the report of the grand jury, we had no evidence that reflected on his official character.
 ..As to the other two members of this committee. namely, Messrs. J. H. Ed wards and Moss Crotwell. we have no evidence which reflected on their official conduct or character.
 There is much to criticise and condemn arising from lack of system and dis cipline in the police department of the city of Bessemer, and we are of the opin- ion derived from the testimony that the police department of this city, including the warden. should have some definite and official head. Provisions should be made to require the wardens, who have the custody of prisoners and their belongings. to be responsible for the protection of and safekeeping of the same Our opin- ion is that the wardens have been guilty of permitting their prisoners to be abused and their property wrongfully converted.
 We are not unmindful of the confidence reposed In us. nor the great responsible ity arising therefrom, and we each feel that only the demand for the per | fcr of .7,,t, or favor, regardless of persons, should justify or prompt our decision in this matter. This duty we have endeavored to perform conscientiously and to the best of our ability. Respectfully submitted,

Water-Soaked Watches q the I.nilisvilla Harald

From tne Louisville Herald.
 What to do with water soaked watch Is often a problem when one is caught in the wilderness or in com munity where no jeweler Is to be found. Lack of knowing what steps to take often results in much expense. If not in the utter ruin of the watch
 Watches made with both screw face and screw back may be dried easily by removing the front and back. emptying the watch of as much water as will run out. reversing the crystalfi screw ing 1t on the back of the watch and then laying it where the sun will have a chance to reflect through the crys- tai.
 The heat of the sun on the crystal will draw the moisture from the work s in 10 or 20 minutes. says the Technical World If water still remains in the works. the crystal may be unscrewed, wiped and repla ced and the process re- peated.
 After the sun fails to dray any more of the water out of the glass it is safe to conclude that there is no more in the works. and the oil originally on them, warmed by the sun. 1ubricates the parts.
 There should be no more trouble with the watch. although 1t is advisable to have it examined by a jewelcr at the earliest opportunity

were bought for s21 100o.0 .0o0 he said. when actually worth not one-tenth of that amount.
 MT. Batts told how in 1907 during President Roosevelts administration Charles s. Melen, president of the New Haven, went to the President and told him that Chrales w. Morse had offered S20,000, 900 for the New Haven steam ship lines, which had cost them about S9,000,000. Mellen told the President he did not think Morse's control of all the line would be beneficial yet the New Haven was disposed to accept the offer, unless the government would give as surance that the New Haven could not be prosecuted for any of the acquisi- tions 1t had already effected
 Violation of Law
 The President, said the attorney. would give no such assurances, and Mellen so reported to the directors.
 He advised the directors said Mir. Batts. "to accept the offer, but they declined to take his advice"
 The attorney declared that the New Haven directors realized that the hold ing of Boston and Maine stock was a violation of the laws of Massachusetts.
 There was storm of criticism, ho added, and legislative proceedings which followed eventually resulted in the New Haven being auothrized by the Massachustees law to obtain acqulsi- ton and own the Boston and Maine.
 The sum of $975.o00 was spent in a campaign of education in connection with these legislative proceedings, said the attorney, in addition to $750,000 used to buy control of the Boston Her aid.
 In closing his address MT. Batts in- formed the court that Charles $. Mellen would be the governments principal witness. and that 1t was the plan of the government proceedings to place him on the stand on two different oc- casions. MT. Mellen, he explained, had been connected with the New Haven at two different preiods of its history.
 To this the defense objected, de- manding that MT. Mellen tell his whole story consecutively.
 Judge Hunt, afer hearing arguments. said he would reserve decision until later.

THE WAR AT A GLANCE

An imperial manifesto issued at Petro grad characterizes Bulgaria as the be trayer of the Slav cause" and announces that Russia draws the sword against her.
 Italy has declared war on Bulgaria. following the example of Great Britain and France. and an Italian squadron ha; left Brindisi for the near east, presum- ably to participate in the blockade of the Bulgarian coast. These ships, too might assist the British and French in covering the landing of more troops at Enos and possibly in reducing the Bulgarian port of Dedeaghatch, the terminus of the rail- way line northeastward of Adrianople.
 Whether the allies who landed at Enos are intended to enter the Servian cam paign direct or will be thrown north ward 10 combat any attempts by the Turks 10 move westward into the new zone of fighting or whether they will be started eastward to menace the head of the Gallipoli peninsula or the road to constantinople is not known.
 The operations in the Balkans aside from the actual fighting. daily are grow ing more interesting Despite the fact that the Bulgars have cut at Nranya the railroad running north from Salonild to Nish, which vii. impede the movement of the allied forces up the Moravia valley, French and British troops still are land-

 So great a number of allied troops has been put ashore at the Greek port that It has been impossible to send the men promptly by rail across the Servian frontier, and some are proceeding by forced marches into the theatre of war.
 Besides cutting the railway at Vranya. the Bulgarians farther north are operat- ing westward across their border toward the fortress of Pirot, which commands the Orient Express railway line between Nish and Sofia. In the north and north west the Germans and Austrians are still pushing forward their attacks and slowly gaining ground over the Servians.
 The big offensive by the Germans to the east of Rheims on a front of six miles, which was preceded by a heavy bombardment and by the use of asphyxi- ating shells and clouds of chlorine gas, gained for the Teutons some of the French first line trenches. Counter at tacks, however, forced the Germans back to their former positions, with heavy losses, according to Paris
 further gain for the Germans south of Riga and the repulse of Russian at tack northward of Jacobstadt are the only engagements of note mentioned in the latest German official communica- ion.

 Troy, October 19.-lSpeciall--A serious accident occurred last night on the Cen tral railroad. near Hanchey and Thomp- sons mills Supervisor w. w Heath, accompanied by Louis McCaskilI and a negro, had been down toward A;fdalusia on his motor car and were returning when they ran into a box car, breaking Mir. Heath's left hand gashing his head and bruising him severly in the stomach MT. Mccaskill had his left leg broken, both bones being broken twice between the knee and ankle. The negro was prac- tically unhurt. 1t was after dark when they were returning, and as they had no head lights on their car they did not see the box car, which was standing on the main track until too late to avoid the accident. The car had been left on the track by freight train which was switching for the mills A few minutes after the accident occurred the freight train backed up to the car and in coupling it on pushed it back against the motor car, but fortunately the injuredl men were off the track. They were picked up and carried to the union passenger station on a box car. where they received medical attention.
 At a meeting of the Farmers union it was decided in order to assist in buying1 machinery and establishing a feed. griBtI mill. etc, to take farm produce in pay-I ment for stock already subscribed for orI to be purchased by any member of tha1 union in the Warehouse and Gin com pany.

the British but lost again. kiretch Tepe was to serve as a flank position against possible Turkish attacks on the allied lines in and south of the Anafarta plain. It. too. was taken by the Turks. From a strictly military point of view, political considerations dsregarded, the allies on the peninsula are in less favora ble con dtion today than they were on April 26, when the first landing took place.
 The Turks in the Anafarta region for the greater part are Anatolian peasants. sturdy, tough, inured to every hardship of war and not plagued by the nerves of their higher strung antagonists. Many of them are clad in rags, not few are armed with single shot rifles. and most of them wear slippers instead of shoes. Their food, though plain. is substantia! and wholesome and their water supply is ample.

When the Associated Press correspond. cnt left the Gallipoli peninsula after an eight-day stay at the front, the al. lied troops at Seddul Bahr on the tiI of the peninsual. had been inactive fol more than three weeks. Their position was no more favorable than that oi their comrades in the Anarfarta re- zion. as described in yesterdays letter
 Field Marshal Liben von Sanders. tht German officer in command of ths Turkish forces, gave his idea of tn, general situation as follows:
 "I am too old to be an optimist, but believe---I am absolutely confident that unless something extraordinar, occurs we shall hold the allies wher. they are"
 So far as concerns the allied forces ai Seddul Bahr. 1t apparently has been dem- onstrated that 1t is next to impossible fol them to advance, with operations con siucted within the range of reasonable and permissible sacrifices of men In other words. it is still possible to dislodge tn; Turks, but to do so would cause too great q loss to the allies
