NEW HAVEN SUSPENDS
EMBARGO FOR q DAYS
New England Mills Face Shut
down for Lack of Materials.

A. l2 O'Clock last night the New
Haven suspended its embsrgoes on all
freight. except soft coal The en-.
ftrgoes will remain suspended fou,
days and on midnight OF Tuesday the
6 .ates will be closed again.
In an announcement issued yesterday
: was explained by the company that
he aim was 70 afford instant relief &c
ne industries of New England. which
,ere on the point OF being forced to
close their plants through a famine Of
materials.
II was also stated that carloads and
less than carloads would 60 forward
without interference from embargoes
placed By the New Haven, but that
shipments could not be moved faster
than their regular turn would permit.
The determination 20 lift the en-
barge came after 6 complete survey
OF the freight situation by President
Elliott, A. P. Whaley, operating vice
president; Benjamin Campbell, vice
president in charge Of traffic, and c.
L. Bardo. general manager.
The immediate effect on the general
frs!ght condition Of the country is that
between 5000 and 1000 freight cars
in the yards Of connecting companies
will be accepted on the New Haven
lines through the yards at Maybrook
and on the Harlem River IL Is ex-
pected that only about 10 per cent Of
the released traffic will come other
wise than in cars already loaded and
waiting acceptance by the New Haven.

Crosshre of Affections
Proves a Puzzle-Sealed
Verdict Ordered.
LEAVES OF POETRY
DRIFTED ON WIDOW
Mrs. Toler Sticks to Death
Threat Story, but Admits She
Wrote In Some Ideas.

Il is now up to the jury in the aliens
ton Of affections suit brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth Carey against Mrs. Minerva
B. Toler.
After being out two hours yesterday
without being able TO agree the Jurors
were ordered By Justice Philbin 70
bring in a sealed verdict, which will be
opened Monday. In the meantime Mrs.
Carey will be unable to place legal
appraisal on the affections Of her hus-
band, Patrick J. Carey, her own valua-
ton being $4,000.
Under cross-exsmination yesterday
the widow defendant repeated her story
that she made love 20 Carey by mail
and telegraph under sentence OF
death" and that the missives were die
tated By him. Mrs. Toler admitted,
however. under questioning by counsel
for Mrs. Carey that she did inject
some words OF her own In this series
Of enforced love-making epistles. Even
little Johnnie Toler, eight-yesr-old son
OF Mrs. Toler, so IL is said, wrote Carey
a letter under the same circumstance,
20 carry out orders. Johnnie's mother,
however, gave the boy Csrey's ad-
dress.
And the poetry II was written on
blue-tinted paper and love oozed from
every line. "Hs used 20 tear poetry

Another alleged love affair Of Mrs

asked whether she had shown Carey q

CORY SNOW FIGHT
STIRS COLUMBIA
Freshmen Win Fray That
Ends in Scenes Of
Carnage.

Verdun was a quiet, restful gathering
place for friendly spirits yesterday
compared 10 the strife-ridden campus
Of Columbia University, where warning
students enacted scenes OF carnage
such as never before have marked class
battles there.
Il started in a snow fight between
freshmen and sophomores. II ended
with pieces OF ice, rocks, clubs and
fists being used on members OF the two
classes, while unsympsthetic members
Of the upper classes poured boiling
water down on both sides, Just 20 prove
their neutrality.
Missing garments. shattered plate
glass windows, bits Of noses and ears
and locks OF hair were scattered about
the campus at the conclusion OF the
fray, mute evidence Of the deadly
earnestness OF the efforts OF desperate
sophs TO stop the ons!sughts Of the
freshmen.
For many days challenges have been
flying 20 and from the leaders OF the
rival classes Yesterday. however,
there was no challenge. When hungry
sophomores left their studies in quest
of food AZ noon they were staggered
By the appearance of an impregnable
fortress that had sprung up, nobody
knew how, since they entered the
building in the morning. Behind the
fertilization. which spread across the
campus, were strong armed freshles,
armed with an unlimited supply OF
icy snowballs.
Numerically, strategically and OBJ
viouslv the sophomores we're out
classed. They were the victims OF IN
preparedness. Caught between the
snow wall and the walls Of Hartley
Hall, they were compelled 20 make a
desperate fight for their place in the
sun.
Eugene Cleary, class president Of the
sophs, was far from defeated. lie raj
lied his men, gathered his most power
full athletes about him. and bore down
on the Notifications with such snow
balls ana ice a. had been left in the
ribbon OF field that became known as
Death Strip within few minutes.
Ammunition soon gave out and the
sophs. including Joe Aimee, the wres-
tier, were subjected 70 the merclless
fire az close range OF srtillerymen and
grenadiers, who hurled bombs OF snow
that were little less deadly than The
explosive variety OF European war
fame Then Bob Pencil. soph
strong Farm man. ORDERED charge
More than 100 men followed him over
the wall OF snow and into the heart Of
the enemy's forces, where knees. fists
and heels came together in d grind
ing, rending combat Aimee alleges
that fifteen huskies ground their heels
in his face.
The freshmen succeeded IN driving
their natural enemy back. They had
reached the wall Of Hartley Hall
when the impartial neutrals above as
sailed them with boiling water. The
fighters then conoentrated their fire
on the upper windows, several OF w''ch
were carried away. Il vas reported
that numerous upper classmen received
black eyes as result Of these acct
dents. One student suffered serious
injury 20 his eye. when his glasses
were smashed.
Professors and members Of the stu
dent board remained discreetly indoors
during the struggle. Dean Frederick
?. Korpers Office is only twenty feet
from the spot where the fight was rag
ing. but his curtains remained dis
creetly down.

MONEY IN POLITICS.

Reference was made the other day to the demands for money made on political candidates. The man with the traditional "bar'1" is esteemed a prize in all parties. He constitutes an abuse but he, is exceedingly use- ful.
 It is not merely that the wealthy candidates money is so very helpful, He has leisure that can be given to party work. If he earned his money himself, he has business ability and brains. These qualities are none too common in politics.
 The best asset for party success is a ticket of candidates of sound, practical judgment, broad intelli- gence. knowledge of human nature. Where the leadership is placed in the hands of such, money comes in easily. The campaign is conducted on a high plane, it appeals to intelligent and liberal minded citizens. The chances of success are multiplied. Candidates that can place their campaigns on this basis are the most profitable political assets. even if they can't contribute a dollar to the war chest.
 Political committees, however, are apt to judge candidate by his abil- ity to loosen up." Even if he is poor man, they assume he should be willing to contribute his first years salary. If he loses, they feel the honors of the position should com pensate.
 This tendency to ''fry the fat" and put on the pecuniary screws, fright ems out of the political game, men who are needed there. They have a taste for politics, ability for public speech, tact in handling men, and sensitive feeling of the public pulse. But they do not propose to be bled by the leeches and camp followers of the party headquarters. Too of- ten leadership goes to money without brains. This is mbination that does not appeal to the voters.
