New Haven
Directors on .r
Trial Resign
Action Due to Desire Not TO EN-
tarrass Railroads Present
Management

New York, Oct. 26. Henry X.
McHarg and Frederick r. Brewster,
directors of the New York, New Hav.
en- & Hartford railroad, now on trial
with nine former directors of the
road under the Sherman antitrust law
have resigned from the New Haven
directorate.
While no formal statement as to
the reason for their retirement was
obtainable tonight, 1t was said on
behalf of the New Haven company
that their action undoubtedly was
due to desire not to embarrass the
present New Haven management on
account of their status as alleged vi
clators of the law being a matter
stil to be determined by jury.
The spectre of the oft quoted Mis-
souri, freight rate decision by which
the United States supreme court in
1897 first applied the Sherman anti
trust law to railroads, arose In the
trial of the railroad directors today
to plague the minds of the Jury
The question put before them to de-
eide was whether the decision alb.
solved tle directors of the New Hav'
en- from knowing that they were com.
hitting Illegal acts prior to that
date and therefore could not have In
tended the conspiracy with which
they are charged, that of monopoliz
ing the traffic of New England; OF
whether, knowing they had been
committing illegal acts. they then
continued to commit them in spite
of the decision. "'
Prior testimony today. which took
the form Of score or more Of let
tiers identified by Mr.. Mellen, com
pleted the case Of the government
up to the year 1897. The New Hav
en- at that time had virtually &C
quired an the railroads south Of the
Boston and Albany and had fought
that road to a standstill.

California Defeats
Proposal for Non
! ~ partisan Elections


San Francisco, Oct. Ex-Governor
Hiram w. Johnson conceded late to-
night the defeat of amendments pro
vidihg for nonpartisan elections of
state officers, which were voted upon
today, and predicted that the people
would reverse themselves on the
question.
Returns at II o'clock from a ma
jority against the amendments and
indicated the probable defeat of all
that were voted upon at today's cleo
ton. From CAT precincts the vote on
the main nonpartisan amendment
was 14,572 for and 1886 against.
The vote was very light that In
San Francisco being estimated at
about 20 per cent of the normal.
The nonpartisan plan was the main
issue of the election. 1t was advo-
Gated as a Progressive party measure
and Governor johnson and the state
administration campaigned vigorous
ly for it..
A proposal to allow the legislature
to establish a system of rural cred
its seemed to be running better than
any other.

The office of the circuit court clerk,

TIMELY HINTS TO
THE FOOTBALL PLAYER

In the November issue of the Am
erican Magazine appears an interest
ing article of Gilmour Dobie, a foot.
ball coach who has never been de-
feated. In the following extract Mr.
Dobie comments on football players:
"A football player, above every.
thing else, wants to be normal dur
ing the days of practice. Let him
have good, wholesome, home cooked
food and his own home bed. Let him
be with his own family, II he can
be, and then you viii have him in
the best training quarters on earth.
Let him live in the environment that
he is accustomed to. He is better
with his mother than with trainer
and, in fact, his mother u the best
trainer in the world. II he Is ac-
customed to pie and likes pie and
pie agrees with aim, let him eat
pie. And that also goes for pork.
II a player is accustomed to smoke
a pipe of tobacco between the dinner
hour and the study hour. let him
smoke. Whisky? No. Whisky is
merely an appendix. 1t can't posi-
bly, do any good and, besides, college
boys, as rule. are not accustomed
to whisky.
81 have figured out and proved to
my own satisfaction, he continued,
that II | can get the mothers to look
after my players. just as they have
looked after them from the days they
were born, shall never need to wor-
ry about the physical condition of
the team. But. mind you, a perfect
physical condition of the body, with
out tne proper condition OF the mind,
renders the perfect condition of the
body practically useless.
Il want my players during the
days of practice to be good, healthy
normal American boys. but on the
day OF the game they must be some
thing different. On the day OF th'
game they must look upon the col
lege as patriot looks upon tn
flag during the period of his nation
peril. The college must stand 10
something worth while and on tn
day OF the game 1t must stand 10
the most precious thing in the world

Those defensive works cannot even
be seen from the ocean, and II would
be almost impossible for any hostile
fleet to destroy or capture them, be-
cause there is really nothing above

able earthworks, and extend in the

NEW NAVY GUN A SUCCESS.
More Powerful Than Queen Eliza.
beth's 15-irch "Terrors.

The first of the new fourteen-nch
navy guns has been tested at the In
dian Head proving ground. 1t is fifty
calibers long. five calibers longer than
any of the fourteen-inch guns at pres
ent in use in the navy. 1t is believed
that it has a greater muzzle velocity
than any other fourteen-inch navy
gun, and is a more powerful gun than
the f1fteen-inch gun on the Queen
Eliza beth of the British navy.
Instead of making a model gun, the
bureau of ordnance was SO positive that
the plans for the new gun would stand
the required test that the entire thirty
six guns which are to go on the Cali
fornia, Idaho and Mississippi were or
dered. The expectations of the burea u
of ordnance were fully realized. the
power pressure and velocity of the
gun in the test complying in every re-
spect with the specifications. BY or
dering all the big guns, instead of ex-
perimenting with a model, the work of
armng the California, Idaho and the
Mississippi will be advanced five or six
months 1t is the first time that such
large number of big guns has been
ma de from plans without the construc-
ton of a model gun for tests.

after leaving this port.
The fires. the police assert, were set
to cover up wholesale thefts of sugar.
although at the time it appeared as II
to prevent the sugar from reaching the
allies.
Theft Conspiracy Alleged.
In this connection were cited the fires
aboard the steamers Devon City, Erne,
Knitzford, Craigside and Dixie, and the
finding Of bombs on the sugar-laden
steamers Kirkswald and Banksdale
upon their arrival at Marseille. A
conspiracy to steal sugar by the
wholesale, the police assert, was
Matched before the war began, and re-
suited in at least two of the fires cited.
One hundred and, forty bags of sugar,
Averag ing $50 pounds in weight, were
found by the police in the basement
of a house where they were placed, it

Wilbert f. Longfellow, representing
the first-ad department of the Ameri-

enthusiasm among Washington canoe
lists, swimmers and others interested
in aquatic sports and life saving. has
gone to Providence. r. l., to spend
few days and interest the people of
that city in matters pertaining to life
saving From there he will go to Chi
cago to follow up the movement for
sa fety on the water resulting from the
Eastland disaster
1t is more than probable Mr.. Long
fellow will interest the Chicago police
in the life-saving methods, the same as
he has the police of this city. Yester
day afternoon at o'clock the Red
Cross representative talked to the
police of the eighth precinct, Commits
sioner Brownlow and Maj. Pullman
being present.
Commissioner Brownlow delivered a
short address to the policemen. He
told of his interest in the work that
had been done by Mr.. Longfellow and
expressed the appreciation of the de-
partment for the great amount of time
he had spent and the good he had ac-
complished.
Police to Learn Resuscitation.
1t was made plain to the police that
every member of the force will have to
acquaint himself with a method of re-
suscitation of drowning persons and
those who are overcome by smoke or
gas.
Policeman +. J. Drummer will con-
tinue giving instructions to members
of the force who visit the bathing
beach from now until September Is, by
which time Maj Pullman hopes every
young man in the department will be a
good swimmer or know enough about
swimming to save persons from
drowning.
1t is expected there will be a team
of four or more men in each precinct
who will give instructions in swim
ming and life saving, and Commission
er Brownlow and Maj. Pullman are ex-
tremely anxious that the men receive
their instructions as early as possible.
There was large number of police
men at the bathing beach yesterday
and it is expected the number tomor-
