Had No Hand in It.

Dean Howard McLenahan, of Princeton University and Chairmxn of Princeton's Athletic Executive committee, auth orized a complete de- nial of the statement that Princeon was the instigator of the ineligibility action against the Yale athletes. He declared that to Yale authorities and Yale athletes alone the credit of the move belongs, and is sorry that any one sh ould impugn their motives. Sem timent in Princeton sems to be OH the side of the ineligible men, al- though respect for the move of the Yale authorities is very much in evil dence

John Fitzpatrick, former track and football star, and Jack Field, the former football half back, will con- tinue a careful probe into the eligl- bility of every member of Yale's ma- jor sport teams. Severe, other mem bers of the Yale nine will be ques- toned closely relative to their sum- mer playing, "Pie' Way, the pitcher; Vaughn and Kinney were members of a nine at Fabyan, N. H. and Ray Wat rous, and Johnson, short stop, were m members of the Colonials, New Haven nine which played the Boston Braves, the New York Americans, and the New York Giants. Aside from the fact that the Colonials took part in Sunday games the question of receipts will be brought up.
 It was rumored today that the Yale nine, which played at Quogue, l.. l., was compelled to cancel it's game arranged in this city on Sum- day in July with the Colonials. The game had been advertised when the posters were suddenly taken down. Whether the Yale players at Quogue were ordered not to advertise the name of Yale in a Sunday game either at New Haven or elsewhere, by the Yale baseball management is un- known.
 Captain Lou Middlebrook of the Yale nine last spring was at the head Of the movement to bring most of the members of the teams to Quogue for the summer game. He was grad uated last June, and is, tht~'efore, not affected, by the penalty paid by the five members who were yesterday disqualified
 Harvard's Position.
 Yale's disqualification of Harry I1e Goge, it's football and baseball star, and four other members of the Yale
 University baseball nine last year did not come as surprise to the Har- yard athletic authorities Harvard was not in a position to protest Le Gore for football this year, but was
 sitting back waiting developments at New Haven. LeGore probably would
 not have been protested this Fall but next year his case might have been put up to the Yale A. A.. as | Harvard figures that he played lawn 1 tennis for Lafayette before entering Yale, and therefore might not be eligible to play for the New Haven football team in 1916. Wallace, last years center rush at Harvard, who was with the squad two seasons ago, played soccer in California before en- tering Harvard. He has not been in any of the Crimson's games so far this year, but the Athletic com- mittee has had his case in hand for several weeks and is expected to ren- der it's decision any time.

Membership Committee.

To the officers, members and friends of the Woman's Board of the New Britain General Hospital. As chairman of the membership committee, I submit the following re- port:
 Since my report is but a repetition of that of the treasurers, I can pre- sent to you nothing new, yet the work of this committee is of great impor- tance, their duty painstaXing and ardu- ous, and oftentimes very unpleasant and desires recognition. 1t is to the following committee, that we are in- debted, and to whom we would extend our hearty appreciation and thanks:
 Miss Hazel Andrews Miss Mary J. Brown, Miss Katherine Buol, Mrs. R. S. Coe, Mrs. George L. Damon, Mrs. William H. Judd, Mrs Harriet P. Mer- win, Miss Helen McMillan, Mrs. E. w. Schultz
 The result of the years work has been most gratifying and beyond our expectation and is as follows.
 Number of members, Oct. 1. 1914, 503; number of members, Oct. 1 1915, 529; a gain of twenty-six.
 Three dollars and seventy cents was received in small sums.
 One life member has passed away, Mrs. Phineas Bronson. Thirty-eight life members have been addod to our list, the largest number ever gained in one year since our organization, making a tital of ninety-six.
 We have every. reason to rejoice to- day, for we have accomplished that, which we have been striving for all these many years, the completion of the Free Bed Fund. of sS,000, made possible by the enrolment of these many life memberships and special gifts from friends.
 We are greatly indebted to Miss Mary E. Bingham, Mrs. Mary H. Up- son and the directors who volun- tarily took upon themselves the task of the completion of this fund. We must now turn our efforts toward the raising of funds for Children's ward a very pressing need at our hospital We trust. that the public will be as

Dog Gives Alarm
Of Fire in Store

The grocery store located at SSi HART.
son street, and owned by Ed Wood, was
completely destroyed by fire yesterday
forenoon The loss on the building and
the contents has not been fully deter
mined. and will not be ascertained until
insurance adjusters complete their work.
The building, owned by Charles Lacy,
forms part of residence occupied by
Wood. The origin OF the fire was at.
tributed to an overheated stove i'm the
store.
Wood had left the store alone about
o'clock in the morning and had gone into
his home. closing the door connecting the
living apartments with the store. He was
absent some time. and finally had his at.
tention attracted by the furious barking
OF q bulldog he had left to guard the
store. He did not respond immediately,
but did so when the cries of the dog in
dicated pain and terror. He opened the
door TO find the building filed with flame
and smoke and the dog badly burned.
Neighbors who had been attracted by
the fire that had broken through the roof
had turned In an alarm. When the fire
men had plOwed through the deep snow
and reached the place the building waa
almost ready to fall. The fire was con-
fined TO the portion used for a grocery
store, and but little damage was inflicted
upon the connected section. Insurance to
the amount OF 81 900 covered the loss ON
the stock, and policy held by the owner
OF the building for the same amount will
fully meet the loss sustained.

Prfcen ON hoard of Trade.

fElccA on bOhFu
CHICAGO, March 6.-Unabated foreign
buying tended today to dispel dread of
a flood of Russian wheat through the
Rosphorus, and helped bring about q
strong market here. Prices closed steady
were: Corn, &c to A@Bc; oats, 1ac to
Bdlc, and provisions, 10I121Rc to sc.
Export business in wheat today, which
was said to aggregate at least 100000
bushels, was shared in not only by sea-
board cities, but also Chicago. st. Louis,
Kansas City, Duluth and Winnipeg. In
addition to spot cash purchasing, the
July delivery we'll as the May option
was literally taken on foreign account.
Confidence among wheat buyers began
with announcement that quotations at
Liverpool were firm and was notably
increased by private advices here from
Petrograd saying it was untrue that great
shipments would be made from Russia
as soon as the DardanelleS were open.
Unfavorable weather in Argentina and
the Punjaub assisted in preventing any
lasting interruption of the days advance.
SCantiness of receipts had a strength
ening effect on corn. So, too. did the
enough bearish sentiment in the pit to
enlarge offerings whenever the ascent
appeared about to become of radical
sort. Cash houses bought oats through
out the session It was said that even
without any fresh CALL they would be
kept busy for some time filling present
contracts TO ship to the seaboard.
Higher prices for hogs and grain made
provisions climb. The bulk of the buy
ing came from shorts.
Futures were quoted as follows:

Grading Machine is
Used on Snow Drifts

Yesterday morning huge ridges OF snow
that had been thrown from sidewalks and
swept from street car tracks extended the
full length OF the business streets. The
snow entertainments blocked both sides of
the streets. leaving only the space ocou-
pied by the car tracks as the possible
highway for traffic. To haul away the
snow would have cost thousands of dol
lars and taken many days. The street
commissioner and his men hitched six
horses on one of the city's road grading
machines and leveled tho banks leaving
the snow OF uniform depth, permitting
vehicles 10 drive over ii and quickly COM
press il into a reasonably firm roadway.
The grader crew did as much work dur
ing the day as could have been accom-.
plished by several hundred men using
shovels In the same length OF time. After
the business streets had been smoothed
down, the grader crew continued opera
lions on residence thoroughfares, and
many miles OF streets were made passabIe
This morning, men with plows will cut
curbing, opening the cutters and permit
ting the escape OF the water. This will
prevent flooded streets and hasten the
melting OF the snow. The cost of the
work will be small and add nothing to the
regular expense of the department, as
