On Charge of Specializing in Yale-Har-
ward Tickets.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 25.--Two
additional arrests on the charge of
speculating in tickets for to-day's Har-
ward Yale game were made during last
night the accused being freshmen in the
university. Both live in this city, and
both denied the charge, leaving the
sitting Of facts TO the court.
These students, Louis S. Shanok and
Phillip Epstein, said that they were
riding with five casual friends about
midnight when they showed game
tickets They claim the tickets were
taken from them and their erstwhile
friends offered them $40 for each tick
ct. The students claim they refused TO
sell, had dispute, and finally went
to the niversity ticket Office to report
their loss.
They then left to find the men who
had the tickets and were arguing with
them in hotel lobby when arrested.
The men who are said to have had
the tickets were not arrested.
Last evening William Lewis, Yale
student of cranton, Pa, and Hyman
Kriyitsky of this city were arrested
charged with selling tickets. Lewis,
the police say, got $50 each for two
tickets. while Krivitsky is said to have
got s55 for pair.
Two alleged ticket spectators also
were arrested on Thursday.
Krivitsky was found guilty in city
court on one count of speculating in
tickets and was fined $50 and costs,
from which sentence he appealed.
The court heard the case Of James
DeFelice, arrested Thursday and sus-
pended Judgment. The court said
that the evidence did not seem TO ex-
actly bear out the charge Of intent
TO speculate, as DeFelice was trying
TO accommodate some one with tick
cts, having charged only small ad-
vance over their face value.

Won Bride, Deserted Her,
Left Bad Paper.

Burlington, Nov. 25.--Milton 4. Mil
Ter, who is said to have come to Bur-
lington about three weeks ago from
Texas and secured position with
the Army and Navy stores as an audi
tor, and who claims to have worked
for the United States government and
the Standard Oil company, has just

Army and Navy stores, Miller was
hired by him about three weeks ago as
an auditor and sent to the stores in
Rutland, st. Johnsbury, Brattleboro,
Claremont, N. H., and Greenfield,
Mass, for the purpose Of deyising a
system Of bookkeeping for these
stores.
Monday, while the proprietor was
busy in the store, Miller entered and
asked for $50 and was told to have the
bookkeeper give him check. Miller
had the latter funetionary make the
check for $40. The proprietor then
asked the bookkeeper why Miller had
not been paid during his absence and
learned that he had been paid.
Tuesday the proprietor became s'rs-
picions that something was wrong as
Miller failed to show up. He warned
all his stores against giving Miller
any funds. His telegram TO st. Johns
bury was toe late, however, for Miller
had reached there first and obtained
$25. In addition to the money, which
Miller is alleged to have acquired I'M
der false pretenscs. valuable wrist
watch is said to be missing from the
local store.
Miller, who had mania for riding
in taxis. gave one driver check for
