Edwards of New York While Asleep in Brolher-in-Law’s House in New Haven. Pistol is Missing and Police Begin an Immediate Investigation. New Haven, Ct., Jan. 3.—Charles A. Edwards ot' 530 Park avenue, Xew l'ork, formerly president of the Passa ic Chemical Co. of Xexv Jersey and more recently an officer of the General Chemical Co., with an office in New York City, was mysteriously given a death wound from a pistol ball while lying in bed during the night, the guest of his brother-in-law, Charles A. Hil ler. So mysterious was the case from the outset that Deputy Coroner Pond opened an inquest at police headquar ters immediately following a long and searching inquiry during the day at the Hiller homestead at 117 College strtet, almost directly opposite East Divinity, a dormitory of Yale. For almost five hours Deputy Coro ner Pond conducted the preliminary in quest into the shooting of Mr. Edwards. Those who were examined were A. M txi y Hiller and his brother Charles, and it its conclusion neither witness was held. Coroner Pond said after the inquest that he would make no formal statement. He talked with the newspa per men for a short time, however, on the ease and said that as far as ho could learn lie could find no reason for Mr. Edwards taking his own life. >rt the other hand,” continued the coroner, "there seems to me to be good reason to believe that Mr. Edwards was killed." He was asked if suspicion pointed to any one man and he replied that he would not discuss that phase of the case. The coroner was asked whether or not the shooting, in his mind, was the result of a quarrel between mem bers of the Hiller family, but declined l speak definitely on that score also. Dei uty Coroner Pond said that the entire matter would he turned over to Coroner Mix tomorrow morning and until that time he would say no more.

CASH OUTFITTERS. opp. Cony House Augusta 218 Water St. Gardiner ENDS IN A RIOT. The Chinese et Shanghai Become Incensed At Action ot the British Ambas sador in Imprisoning Women and Children for Kidnapping-21 Killed in Trouble That Follows. Victoria, II. C., Jan. 3.—The steamer Empress of Japan, from Shanghai brought details of the recent rioting there arising out of Chinese dissatis faction with the action of the British assessor in imprisoning some Chinese women and children pending hearing for kidnapping before the mixed court. Two women and three men were ar rested charged with kidnapping 15 young girls from Shechusn, and when the case was remanded the British as sessor ordered the young girls to be taken to a society, the Door of Hope, pending the trial. The Chinese magistrate, Mr. Kuan, insisted they be placed in the cells of the mixed court. His runners attacked tin1 foreign police who were defending them. The police under Cadet Officer Fenton resisted and a riot ensued in which Inspector Cibson and some Chi nese were slightly hurt. Finally the police hustled the girls into vans and removed them. The Chinese magistrate and his as sistants meanwhile asserted to the con stables that if they obeyed the foreign ers they would be punished severely! under Chinese law. These remained j loyal, however, to their foreign em ployers. The magistrate and his assist ants managed to get the compound gates shut and shouted to Mr. Fenton that the vans would pass only over his body. He was hustled aside and the vans forced through. When the incident was noised about tiic Chinese became greatly excited and I mass meetings were held by different 1 guilds to protest against the govern- ment of the Chinese magistrate. For several days the excitement continued then the Chinese government ordered the magistrate to release the prisoners. Three days later, the 15th. if was abvi ous trouble was about to break out. The consuls consequently telegraphed for warships. There were then three in tile river. The spark which incited the outbreak was found in a street row near a polite station which quickly j gathered a mob. The torch was applied and a grog shop was wrecked. A linriksha store was looted and crowds which soon gathered began a riot in the sLore, with the result that 30 Chinese anil one sikli policeman were killed and a large number wound ed, including the Herman eonsul. Fif teen thousand Chinese soldiers in plain clothes were said to have taken part with the crowd. Chinese newspapers state that the trouble was due to roughs who took advantage of the mixed court trouble, intending to loot the foreign settlements. Two British, one American, two Japanese, one Aus trian and one German warship were hurried to Shanghai and landed troops the rioting being stopped and armed patrols were kept marching in the streets when the liner sailed from Japan. The north China Daily News blames the “wave of exaltation,” that lias come over the Chinese since Japan defeated Russia, for the outbreak. MORE TROUBLE BREWING In Shanghai Over Recent Fracas in the Mixed Court. Viotorin, B. C'„ Jan. 3.—Shanghai newspapers received by the Kmpress of Japan today state further trouble to be breeding among the Chinese of the set tlement who have made the outbreak arising from the fracas in the mixed court the ground for agitation that the foreign settlement of Shanghai be ruled as a Chinese center under Chinese au thority instead of continuing as at pres ent a foreign settlement ruled by the foreign community of Shanghai. In many sections Japanese are being blamed for inciting the outbreak and it is pointed out the Japanese nation ales were unharmed in the rioting. Correspondents of Japanese newspapers deny the allegation. It is generally conceded that the anti-American boy cott bad nc part in causing the dis turbance. Mrs. I.i Wang Shih and the other per sons were given the custody of the 15 girls »vh»-n released. The North China Daily News says this acquiescence to Chinese clamor is to be regretted. Na tive papers say the woman is the wife of a Chinese official of Seechuan and the 15 children are family slaves. All the foreign journals of Shanghai are united in stating the Chinese to be anxious to abolish foreign settlements at Shanghai. John Goodnow, formerly United States consul general at Shanghai, and Mr. Drummond offered their services to the Chinese taotai prior to the riot ing to assist China in settling the mixed court deadlock. The taotai refused them. It is considered likely the coun cil tuimp.n. the British assessor of the mixed court, will be removed in accord ance with the Chinese demands. SITUATION IS NORMAL At Shanghai Pending Outcome of Mix ed Court Trouble. Shanghai, Jan. 3.—The situation here is normal. Two thirds of the bluejackets who have been patrolling the foreign concessions re-embarked today pending the final settlement of the mixed court question. STILL PLOTTING. Another Big Russian Dem onstration Planned To Be Hold in St. Petersburg -Bloodshed Will Follow. Rojestvensky Publishes Account of Battle of Sea of Japan—He Is Victor. St. Petersburg, Jan. 4.—(2.40 A. M.).— The general meeting of the workmen’s council and of representatives of the proletariat organizations which was held aeross the Finnish border, lasted lor 36 hours, adjourning only an hour ago. The practical result of the meet ing was a confession that the govern ment had proved too strong in its fight against the strikers and the proletariat organizations and that it would be necessary to organize on a new basis the armed revolution to which the del egates at the meeting were committed. It was admitted that the attempt to give battle to the government without having made due preparation was a mistake, and a complete change in tac tics was decided upon. A new council of workmen consisting of 150 members was elected. Similar councils will be or ganized everywhere, following which a general congress will be called and an elaborate plan of battle against the government formulated. In the mean time the propaganda of the agitators will be kept up. especially in the army, in order to show that the proletariat organizations are firmly resolved not to compromise with the government. It was also decided not to take part in the elections for the douma. Just prior to the adjournment of the meeting a resolution was passed to turn the anniversary of Jan. 1 (Red Sunday) into a day of mourning. For this purpose att appeal will be made to the Socialist workmen’s organizations, both in Europe and in the United States, to manifest their sympathy with the Russian revolutionaries by holding demonstrations on that day. A member of the workmen’s coun cil. with whom The Associated Press conversed after the meeting, acknowl edged that the movement had been severely crippled by the government, as many of the ablest leaders bad either been killed or arrested. He said that the movement had also lost considerable prestige among the pro letariat and that if the present system of repression were persisted in it would be increasingly difficult to dis seminate the propaganda or to further organize. The main danger was that the leaders would be unable to gather sufficient force to strike a blow before the meeting of the douma. Neverthe less this informant insisted that the organizations he represented were not discouraged and that the fight would be continued until the proletariat achieved a final victory. He stoutly maintained that the policy of repres sion to which the government had re turned only demonstrated once again that it lacked the moral support of the public and that its sole reliance, as of yore, was on its rifles and bayonets and cannon. “We now see clearly" said this mem ber of the workmen's council, “that nothing definite can be accomplished by sporadic uprisings. The posses sion of a city such as Moscow or even St. Petersburg might not prove de cisive. All Russia must rise at the same time.” In answer to a question as to whether in the meantime the proletar iat organizations had decided to aban don their acts of terrorism, the mem ber of the council replied significant ly "Perhaps. There have been no acts of terror because the persons con demned have been too well guarded." St. Petersburg, Jan. 3.—A general meeting of the workmen’s council and delegates of all the proletariat organ izations has been in session secretly sinct Jan. 1. perfecting their future pro grams. All that is known so far Is that they are planning to turn the anniver sary of Jan. 22 (Red Sunday) when the most serious rioting in St. Petersburg occurred, into a day of national mourn ing for the martyrs. It is proposed to make a gigantic peaceful manifestation, but if they at tempt to carry it out the leaders fully understand that it is sure to precipitate bloodshed on a large scale. From Admiral Rojestvensky's ac count of his tactics in the battle of the Sea of Japan, published in the Novoe Vremya Wednesday, the reader is al most convinced that the Russian com mander out-maneuvered Admiral Togo fit every point and was himself the real victor. He declares he knew Ad miral Togo’s exact plans two days be fore the battle, made his disposition ac cordingly and entered the fight with his ryes open. The admiral only casually states in the course of his letter that the minister of marine is investigating the causes of the catastrophe in order to determine whether the commander shall be courtmartialled for the loss of the fleet. The charge that the British admiral concentrated his ships at Wei Hai Wei expecting to receive an order to destroy the Russians in the event of Admiral rogo proving unsuccessful, has aro’ ^ed i considerable sensation, especiall. as \dmiral Rojestvensky's letter was pub lished with the permission of the min ster of marine and no doubt is enter tained that it will be made the subject jf diplomatic representations to Great Britain. The government is putting on the (Continued on Page Three.) DRASTIC INSURANCE LAWS ARE URGED By Governor Higgins in Annual Message. “EYES OF THE WORLD ARE OPON YOU” He Says to New York Legislators —Points Out Evils Shown by Recent Investigation. Albany, X. V., Jan. 3.—The state Leg islature convened at noon today under unusual conditions. The closing of one of the bitterest factional fights for the Assembly speakership in many years; the understanding that Senator Edgar S. Brackett of Saratoga would Intro duce his joint resolution requesting the resignation of United States Senator Ohauncey M. Depew; the intensity of feeling resulting from the disclosures of the investigation—all these things drew upon the opening of the session today a degree of public interest great er than for many years past. There was very much more than the usual interest also in the annual mes sage of Gov. Higgins to the Legisla ture. The political atmosphere today was strangely quiet after the speaker ship struggle. State Chairman Odell left for New burgh. He would say nothing as to the speakership, the state chairmanship or his future plans. James W. Wadsworth. Jr., the Re publican caucus nominee, was elected Speaker of the Assembly. Speaker Wadsworth on taking the Chair in the Assembly spoke briefly and Lieut. Gov. Bruce opened the Senate with a brief address. The annual message of Gov. Higgins to the Legislature was read in each House. It follows: Gov. Higgins’ message to the Legis lature which was presented to that body today was awaited with much in terest. because of what he might say regarding the legislative investigation of the insurance companies. The gov ernor in his message urged a drastic insurance law and hinted at the neces sity of a like insurance investigation of other forms of insurance. The gover nor said: "The eyes of the whole world are now turned towards New York and if this Legislature does not produce an insurance law which shall be not only drastic but practicable, radical but sane, in a spirit which shall be cour ageous but not hysterical, it will fail to meet the expectations of those who have confidence in the ability of popu lar government to solve its own prob lems as they arise. “Future effective legislation by Con gress or the federal government Is not probable and the possibility of such action should not retard for an instant the work of the state. “While life insurance has received almost exclusive attention it cannot be assumed that other corporations deal ing in indemnity and investment con tracts have been blameless, and a word of caution may not be amiss re garding assessment associations, acci dent Insurance companies; co-operative fire insurance companies and the like. Better allow free and unregulated In surance than permit such concerns to exist under laws which do not protect our citizens but enable the promoter of dmihtful schemes to beguile the invest or to financial disappointment and fat ten himself on false promises and de luded hopes. “The policyholder now demands something better from the state than a guarantee of solvency. He has learn ed that his Insurance will be cheaper and safer when the companies are com pelled to invest their assets for his ben efit exclusively, and are prevented from diverting funds to the Individual under takings of speculative directors and to the payment of vast salaries and exor- I bitont commissions, gratuities to men of influence and contributions for po litical purposes. He invokes the power of the state to shield him more effec tively and to curb the companies and their directors. ‘‘You will be called upon to make a radical revision of the law for the bene fit of investors in life insurance and for the regulation and restraint of the companies. We may well consider at this time the expediency of providing for more thorough regulations by the department of insurance. Under the new insurance law of Germany not only are thorough investigation and publici ty insured, but the government director actually enters into the business meth od of the corporation. “We can learn much from a careful examination of this law’, although some of its provisions may be deemed too paternal for our differing conditions of business and political life or objection able as leaving too much to the dls cretion of the insurance company. “The funds of insurance companies should sacredly be safeguarded for the policyholders by the state and every element of personal gain eliminated from their management. To accom plish this result il has been suggested that large amounts ought, for the safe ty of the insured as well as for the good of the community, to be Invested in bonds secured by mortgages on real estate at a conservative valuation; that deposits with or.loans to moneyed cor porations should be subject to suitable restrictions; that the control of subsid iary companies should not be permit ted; that insurance directors should have no conflicting business connec tions; that investments in corporate bonds should be regulated so as to pre vent speculation and loss from an at tempt to float doubtful enterprises; that policies should be of standard forms so that the abuses arising from ambiguity, complexity and incom pleteness of the contract may be eradi cated and the contract be made definite in form and substance; that a uniform system of audits and accounts should be prescribed by the Insurance depart ment: that full publicity to policyhold ers should be assured: that deferred dividend policies should be prohibited or greatly restricted; that policies should be further safeguarded from forfeiture; that an equitable distribu tion of the gains of the company to the policyholders entitled thereto should be required; that policyholders should have an effective voice in the govern ment of the companies and that the discretion of the directors should bo subject to judicial or administrative review.” DEPEW’S RESIGNATION Will be Asked for in Resolution to bs Introduced in N. Y. Assembly. Albany, N. Y„ Jan. 3.—The state Leg islature convened at noon today under unusual conditions.

FATAL WOUND (Continued from Page One.) case and who was the physician to no tify Deputy Coroner Pond, said tonight that when he arrived at the home Mr. Edwards was dead and that when found in bed Mr. Edwards was dressed in his underclothes. The inquest began about 7 o’clock and it was nearly It o'clock before it was over. Tonight, the Hiller home on College street, where the shooting oc curred, is guarded by the police. There will be a continuation of the coroner's inquest tomorrow on the return of Corcr.i r Mix. Mr. Edwards was found dying in his chamber by Charles A. Hiller. He had retired about 11 o'clock last night af ter attending a birthday party in hon or of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Harris, who is a cousin of former President Timothy D. Wight of Yale. Earlier in the day he had come over from New York for this special purpose and of late he had been a frequent visitor here, usually as a guest of cither Charles A. or A. Maxcy Hiller, both brothers-in-law. He retired apparently in the best of spirits. His failure.to appear at break fast led Charles A. Hiller to go up stairs. According to the latter, the chamber door was not looked and go ing in he saw Mr. Edwards apparent ly unconscious from what was at lirst taken to be a stroke of apoplexy. A neighbor. Dr. Metcalf, who is a dentist, was called and he gave restoratives un der the impression that it was a stroke of apoplexy. A little later Dr. Benjamin H. Cheney reached the house, but Mf. Edwards v.as then breathing his last. In the course of his treatment of the dying man. Dr. Cheney found a bullet hole in the left side of the head, directly be hind the ear. The death of Sir. Ed wards was reported by Charles A. Hil ler to Deputy Coroner Pond, who at once went to the house, while a mes senger summoned A. Maxcy Hiller from the superior court where he was trying a case. At first glance Deputy Coroner Pond thought that death was an act of sui cide, but the absence of the weapon, w hich hours of searching failed to re veal, at once gave rise to a suspicion of murder, although he declined to to express himself when interviewed dur ing the afternoon. Later the police reached the conclusion that there had been a murder and the investigation proceeded on this line. They found that the house laid not been broken into forcibly, but an unbolted kitchen door, which the house servants claimed was securely fastened during the night, gave a possible clue that someone had pass ed out of the house by that means. There was no sign of a weapon. A message was sent to Mrs. Edwards in New York and during the afternoon she reached this city. Charles A. Hii b.r lived in the homestead with two servonts. He is unmarried. A. Maxcy Hiller lives at 483 Temple street. He is a lawyer by profession, a very well known citizen, has served the city as an alderman and is a club man. To the deputy coroner, Charles A. Hiller said that Mr. Edwords returned from the home of Mrs. Harris at about 11 o'clock and after chatting for a fjw minutes retired. Mr. Hiller says he was not awakened by any pistol shot or any disturbance during the night, am! tit" first intimation of the condition of his brother-in-law was when he found hint on the bed. A. Mtixi v Hiller said in his inter view' after referring to Mr. Edward's \is.it here for the Harris party: “X was cn the best of terms with my bi-other-in-law and there has been no family trouble. 1 knew of no motive for suicide." One of the servants, when questioned, said that she went to her own home iast night, having extinguished all the lights in the basement. This morning, she says, site found several lights burn ing there and a r ar door unbolted. Mr. Edwards was about GO years old and a descendant of Jonathan Ed wards. one of the early presidents of Yale 1'niversity and was related to many families of distinguished ances try. He was graduated from Yale In the aeadatnie class of 18Sfi and was an ex tremely popular member of the class. While somewhat short of stature, hi1 was of fine physical development and of ample powers to cope with almost any strong man. Personally, he was of a most cheerful and jovial tempera ment. He married Miss Sarah Cather ine Hiller, onlv daughter of Mrs. Abi gail Hiller, and sister to Charles an l Maxcy. Mrs. Hiller died a few weeks ago. Her estate lias not yet boon set tled and it is stated that the attempted division of the property caused a bit ter disagreement between the Hillers and Mr. Edwards. It was stated tonight by one close to the situation regarding the alleged differences between the liiliets and Mr. Edwards that about thru* weeks ago Mr. Edwards came to New Haven and at that time there was trouble over the settlement of the estate of he eider Mrs. Hiller who died a few weeks before, ll is alleged that Mrs. Edwards called at police headquarters for a policeman to accompany her to the railroad station in order to pro tect her from the threatened violence of certain members of the family. The police tonight state tliat the ease prob ably wall develop into one of ihe most sensational in the annals of crime in New Haven. A Maxcy Hiller is quot ed tonight as saying that he believes that Mr. Edwards died as the result of a stroke of apoplexy and that ir.e au topsy which has been ordered to be performed tomorrow on the body of Mr. Edwards will fulfill that state ment. The autopsy probably will be per formed in the morning. TEN PERSONS INJURED In Rear End Collision Between Freight Trains in Chicago. Chicago.

Host in, Jan. 3.—The members uf one of Massachusetts' most ancient institu tions, :i groat and gem ral court, met today at tile State House for the ses sion of ltiOG. From now ittitil June, and perhaps longer, the two branches of the Legislature will consider-and act-'on public matters which, if past years are any criterion, will probably exceed in variety and amount those brought be lroe any similar body in this country, with possibly a few exceptions. There are already on file with the secretary of state a score of important petitions, and a thousand or more requests for all sorts of legislation will undoubtedly be filed by members between now and Jan. 1:0. when the time expires. Kitch petition, according to the cus tom in this state, must be considered, livery petitioner will be heard by a legislative committee and bis petition acted upon by both branches. Last year's Legislature cleared its docket, which included a number of important matters, on May 2tith. as unusually ear ly date. A somewhat longer session is looted for tills year, it is expected that the Legislature this year will con sider the granting of a number of im portant sited railway charters, a iv vi: ion of the so-i tilled "corrupt practice net." which provides for tile filing of election expenses, examine the insur ance interests of the state, and, un doubtedly, the laws relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors. Two Massachu setts towns, Westfield and Hyde Park, ha ve asked for'city charters and there ire already s Democrats, the latter J gun including five independent Re publicans and one independent llcnto i rat.

The Russian government will prob ably decline to settle the claims of for eigners for damages sustained during the riots at Moscow and elsewhere on the ground, as was previously the case when claims for damages were made by foreigners whbse property at Baku, was damaged, that' while every effort has been and will be made to protect foreign interests and property, foreign er:, living in Russia are entitled only to the redress which Russian subjects have, namely, to recover under the law from the rioters and local authoY illes. the imperial government not be ing liable.

CHANGE OF MILITARY METHODS By New French Minister of War Caus ed Recent Alarmist Reports. Paris, Jan. 3.—The ambassador of one of the powers said today that careful inquiry had convinced hint that the re cent revival of French military activity which has given rise to alarmist re ports v as due mainly to a change from the military methods of M. Rerteaux. 1 the late minister of war, to those of M. i Ftienne. the present war minister. M. IViteaux belonged to the Socialists, whose cardinal rinciple is opp sition to war rad a reduction of military ex pendittires. This naturally resulted in activity in military preparation. M. Etienne on the contrary is not af filiated with the Socialists but repre sents the ••nergctic element which main tarns that the country should prepare to meet every eventuality. M. Etienne lias adopted a vigorous policy not for belligerent purposes but in execution of the general desire to have the army in a perfect state of efficiency. This coming coincident with the Fra neo-German issue over Morocco led to a widespread impression that the military preparations were designed to teect eventualities arising from the Mo n>cco controversy.

Boston Journal: Kid Pantz, who re cently put Arthur Cote away, is to clash with Andy McGarry in Portland Monday night. Jack (Twin) Sullivan, who is still in Sun Francisco, is now seeking a match with the ex-ainateur, Sam Berger of San Francisco. Joe Leonard of Buffalo today knock ed out Gus Gardner of Philadelphia in the sixth round of what was to be a 15-round battle at Buffalo, Monday. The bout between Jeff Doherty and Mosey King, which was arranged as the star ataraction at Savin Rock, Conn., Monday evening was stopped by order of the West Haven police. 'Til light Kuhlin. Gardner or any other worthy opponent after my theatrical engagement, but 1 prefer Marvin Hart,” said Jack O’Brien, eon (lUerer of Bob Fitzsimmons yesterday. Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea was too hard a proposition lor “Young” Erne of Philadelphia to solve to the satis faction of the big crowd at the Na tional A. C. at Philadelphia Monday. The thousands of spectators went away disappointed at Erne's showing. Boston Globe: Never in his career lias Philadelphia Jack O'Brien received a more cordial reception than the one given him yesterday afternoon at the Palace theatre, where he is to fill a week's engagement. The treatre was packed and from the moment O'Brien was introduced by Charley Waldron he v.as cheer*'1 almost continually till the end of his setto with Jack Wil liams. Tommy Murphy and Chick Tucker fought one of the fastest three-round bouts ever seen in New York at the matinee stag of the Hudson A. C. in Lion palace Monday noon. Nearly 3000 “members” witnessed the contest. Tucker had much the better of the first two rounds, but Murphy came back, and in the last 30 seconds of the third round lie more than evened the score, having Tin ker groggy when the final bell rang. Tucker's defeat was due largely to carelessness. Boston Journal: Alieady the sports are talking about the next meeting between Dave Deshler and Kid Aby Goodman. In the next bout the con ditions nill be entirely different. The "clean break" agreement in the arti cles will help Deshler amazingly and it will make a cleaner contest. Tin fact that they will tight at catch weights will also help the German, for lie will not be obliged to stint and deny himself in training. Now he can build up all the time till next Monday, it will be a different boxing proposition. FOOTBALL NOTES. Boston Journal: "Eastern football Is much rougher, more brutal anil ‘dirtier’ in every way than the game as Hayed In the West. I have had a year's experience both East and West, and 1 am certain that the game is much cleaner in every particular In the West.” This is the verdict of “Gov.” Yates, a former University of Chicago athlete and now a student at Swarth .lore. He played left end on the Swarthmore team tills fall. Boston Journal: Football is not the only sport that has developed too much roughness. Ice hockey even among amateur teams gives promise of pul ling roller polo of the old days to shame. Not anything serious has oc curred in our local games, but In New York open slugging and the roughest kind of tactics are the rule. A recent contest between Portage Igike and Calumet is said to have been the means of sending several of the con testants to the hospital, while the po lice tlnally arrested a player, who had been ruled off for slugging, as he was about to strike the referee. Free lights sometimes take place In games in the West and the intense rivalry of Canadian teams lias often produced the roughest kind of games. The sport needs a repressing hand. Paul J. Dashiell, chairman of the in tercollegiate football rules committee, defends that body in this emphatic manner: “The public seems to be laboring under a grave misunderstand ing of the nature and scope of the committee. The idea is prevalent that we are a self-appointed and irrespon sible body and that we have gratuit ously undertaken to dictate to all the colleges how they shall play the gam.. Nothing could be farther from the iruth. Every member of the commit tee is the official delegate of his insti tution. speaks for no one else and is responsible to it alone. The commit tee lias never made any pretense of being a general governing body for football: that it has been accepted as such is a tribute to the wisdom of its rulings, but it lias never assumed such a position. We speak only for our in stitutions. and if others follow our lead they do so entirely voluntarily. The committee has been subjected to much harsh and undeserved criticism on this score. It is not only not self appointed. but each member lias to re port back for confirmation to his col lege before any proposed change can be ratified by him. The committee ex ists solely for the purpose of arranging and modifying rules for seven institu tions It represents: Yale. Harvard. Pennsylvania. Princeton, Cornell.

They had four children, three sons and a daiie-hter. In those Rood old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature’s own remedies—calling In a Physician only in especially urgent oases. Py tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and la rbs. Mrs. Pinkham took i great Interest In the study of roots and herbs, their charac teristics and power over disease. She maintained that lust as nature s-> bounti fully provides in the harvest fields and or chards vegetable foods ol all kinds; so. if \We hut take the pains to tind th»*m. in th roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expiessly designed to curt the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these oat, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of tne choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar fo the female sex. and Lyuia E. Pinkham’s friend* and neighbors learned that Iter compound relieved and cured and it be came quite popular among them. Ail this so tar was done freely, without money and without price, as a luixir of love. But In lSi.’l the financial crisis struck Lynn, its length and severity were t«a> much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as tills class of business suffered most from fearful de pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to lie found. At tills point Lydia E. Pink ha in's Vege table Compound was made- known to the world. Tlie three sons and the daughter with their mother, combined forces to restore tlie family fortune. They argued that l lie medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the .women of the whole world. The Pinkliams had no money, and little credit. Their lirsl laboratory was tin kitchen. Where roots and herbs wore steeped e.n the stove, gradually tilling a grsss of bottles. Then came the question of selling it. for always before tliev had given it away freely. Tliev hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth tlie merits of tlie medicine, now called Lydia E. Piiikhatn's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent. selt' advertlsing. for whoever used it recom mended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1X77. by combined efforts the fam ily had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia K. rinkham and her Vegetable C impound have is come household words every where, and many toils of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLY NT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, January 4, 1906 The officers of Augusta's banking in stilutions say that business at the opening of the new year was never so lively as it has been during the past few days. Deposits have broken all iccords, and many new depositors have appeared at the windows. This is a significant indication of the great pros perity which this city and community are enjoying at the present time. It is said that President Roosevelt will be invited to Join the 'Maine Fish and Game Association on its annual outing to Kineo next summer and that there is good reason to believe that he will be able to accept the invitation. It is easy to believe that he will gladly nreept if the pressure of public duties allows him to give himself that pleas ure. All Maine will stand back of the invitation of the association, and sin cercly hopes he will be able to accept. Pennsylvania's new state capital at Harrisburg which lias been built to replace the old building which was burned in 1S01. is now nearly completed at a total cost oi' $4,050,000. This seems quite a large sum. but the remarkable tiling about it is that it is within the original esti mates and that the building has been built within tile time specified, both of which are unusual tilings in the build ing of any structure, public or private. Long live the oldest Mason! He dies so often and in so many different parts of tile country that it is hard to keep track of him, but tile Manchester IN. 11.) Union claims that just now liis name is James 11. McGregor and that his home is in North Newport, N. H. As lie lias just celebrated his 105th birthday, it is very doubtful if any Mason living lias had more years on earth, but as it is not stated how long lie lias been a member of the craft, it does not follow that lie lias been a Mason longer than any other man liv ing. There is cause for rejoicing in the diminished number of lynchings which took place in 1005. This num ber is fi*i, which is tile lowest figure in 0*i years and not more than one-third iis many as have occurred in some years. Tile fact that *i!i of the f,r, \je lims of lynchings were negroes shows Hint lynching is still tile South's ci line, though the spirit of race in cendiarism is happily growing less and less in that section. In spile of re actionists and negro-haters, of whom Governor Davis of Arkansas and Thomas Dixon. Jr., author of "The 'lansniaii" are conspicuous examples, a in altliy public sentiment is plainly asserting itself in the South for tile repression of I lie barbarity of lynch ing and Hie removal of the stigmi which il casts on American civiliza tion. Nowspapor reporters are assigned t” all sorts of tasks, tail few have ever given such an assignment as that Chicago newspaper gives Walter Wellman the famous correspondent, in telling him to take an airship anti Dud the North Pole. It is recalled that once on a time a newspaper re porter was told to find I.Kingston in the heart of darkest Africa, and the reporter did so. There is noth ing new in the suggestion of an air ship route to the North Pole, hut al most nobody has any faith that the man actually starting on such an ex pedition will ever succeed or return alive. It will make little difference that tile balloon will he tile latest and largest one of its kind constructed and that the explorer is assisted by a wireless telegraphy outfit. Anyway, the project affords an Interesting topic of discussion and gives the newspa per and correspondent in question a lot of advertising. Gen. Francis Fessenden of Portland is the first shining mark which death seeks in Maine in lWti. He had long been one of our most honored and dis tinguished citizens, and the Portland papers pay the highest tributes to his character and to his public service in war and peace. He was a worthy son of Maine's gieat statesman. William Pitt Fessenden, and like his father and grandfather was a graduate of Bow doin College. No Maine soldier more gallantly did his duty or won greater distinction for himself and his native state than Gen. Fessenden and Con gress recognized his services and the severe wounds he had received, by the unique distinction of passing a law placing him on the retired list as briga dier general with full pay. He served Portland as its mayor and could have had other higher civic honors had he desired them. He was a citizen and gentleman of the highest tyne whose memory his city and State will revere. Progress and Promise of Panama. The Journal has received from Chief Engineer John F. Stevens—a native of Kennebec county, by the way—the an nual report of the Isthmian canal com mission for 1905. The rei>ort makes a volume of 123 pages filled with matter of much interest regarding the work done and planned for on the gigantic enterprise which Uncle Sam has under taken at Panama, the work of uniting the two oceans at that point and ful filling the dream which the world's commerce has fondly entertained for over four centuries. The report, shows that in November the employees of the commission on the isthmus numbered 17,000. Of these 13, 300 were under the department of con struction and engineering, 2,GOO under the bureau of material and supplies, and 3,050 under the department of gov ernment and sanitation. Of the 17,000 employees 14,250 are on the "silver” pay roll, receiving a wage per day that varies from SO cents to $1.04 in gold, and 2,705 were on the 'gold” pay-roll. Yet, although the army of laborers is greater than that which tk Santiago. Chief Engineer Stevens acknowledges that no real work of actual excavation is in progress. He is waiting for those above him to determine whether the canal is to be of the lock or sea level tyi>e. The opinion originally enter tained that any work done at the Cuiebra i ut would be useful in either event lias been abandoned. If the sea level type be adopted one-eiglith of the total excavation will be in rock under water, whereas, in ease of a lock canal with a summit tW feet above tide, there will be no under-water excavation. Moi cover, if 120.000.000 cubic yards are to be removed, the cut must lie at tacked by an entirely different method than should be employed If only 4U.0UO. 0.)0 or 50,000,000 cubic yards are to be re moved. "It is therefore ot the utmost importance," says, the commission, jogging tile attention of the President and secretary of war. “that the type of canal be decided with the least pos sible delay." It appeal's that public opinion has done gravefiujustice to the health con ditions of Panama. The isthmus is not the disease hole that lias been pictured, but has the elements of a health resort. Among the employees of the commis sion tin- rate of mortality lias been but 24.30 per 1,000. This, says the commis sion. "is probably as low as might be reasonably expected among an equal number of men engaged in a similar work in any climate.” A victory has been gained over yellow fever. During October there were but four cases and but two deaths. Nor is there serious lack in the labor supply--tin* likelihood of which has been widely exploited. "A sufficient supply of labor," it is said, "can be se cured from nearby tropical islands and countries so far as numbers are con cerned.” Hut the quality is very poor— "the average efficiency per man being but 23 to 33 per cent, of the efficiency of the best common labor in the United States." Although but So cents to $1.04 p-r day is the wage, comparing results the wage is $3 or $4 per day. The impression gained from reading the report is that a big job has been undertak- ii, and that the nation will have a chance to display the virtue of patience. I p to the present nothing practically has been done except to prepare. Two executive reorganiza tions. which have caused changes in plans and policies, have already oc curred one when the old commission was superseded in April by the new. and one when Engineer Wallace left ills jHist with scant notice. if congress should insist on interfering there will be. of course, further delay, for each new regime nei essarily makes iis quota of mistakes. As one commentator puts it: "Centralized authority is plainly what is needed as the only way to escape the meddling that implies muddling. The less directing legisla tion there is enacted the better. It is easy to make plausible criticism con cerning details, but manifestly tin wisest course is to place complete re sponsibility on the President and to give him unfettered authority. And acting on the same principle the Presi dent. in turn, should as far as possible leave the chairman of the commission and its engineer alone. Great Britain's colonies have prospered because of a wise and salutary neglect, and this policy seems equally good in canal building."

Today the Portland Advertiser attains its seventy-fifth anniversary as a daily publication, the first number in that form Inning appealed January the first. 1&»1 vj under the editorial management of James Brooks, who, lik*- .1 number of his sue-j ccssors in the position was a man of na tional reputation. On that remote day of January 1. 1*51. tile city which in recent j years we have seen expanding to ab- j sorb a large adjacent area, was then com prised within small compass upon the peninsula of an era nt Machigonne. or Fal mouth Neck, as it was ktuNwn when the 1 publishing of Malm's first newspaper was begun one hundred and twenty-one years ago. as tlie Falmouth Gazette and Weekly Advertiser. There have been connected with the paper ;ts managers men who j have been prominent in politics, litera-j I tnre ami in tin* business world—the names I i of some having Ih **n household words, i The predecessor in editorial control **f; Mr. Brooks, and prior to the paper be coming a daily, was Granville Mellen. I the poet. In the person of Mr. Brooks i an eminently practical man assumed the j luim. and under his control the paper prosper* d for a few year* as a weekly, i ami as a daily mafic great advancement for he introduced features that at one* j won favor: among them being his breezy I accounts as special correspondent of do- I ingx of Congress, and his letters front t Europe. which have always been recalled with pleasure. Mr. Brooks and his I brother. Erast us. were later the founders of the New York Express. fn the period from 1857 to 1841 the Advertiser was managed with signal suc cess by Joseph M. Gerrish and William E. Edwards. In the latter year President Harrison was inaugurated and in the fall the services of another man of great ability were secured, Phlneas Barnes be coming editor, and remaining in that posi tion for six years, .when his increasing law business demanded all his attention. During the period of his incumbency he saw the city of his adoption enter upon the preliminary stages of her coming commercial importance, for the railroad to Boston was opened and the Atlantic St. I«awrence was begun. The Adver tiser under his guidance bore a leading part in advocating and bringing about these enterprises so essential for the de velopment of the city. In the political field also its influence was marked. When ITenrv If. Carter assumed the editorship Maine had a Democratic government and had but one Whig representative in Con gress. When he retired in 1857 the Repub licans had elected their first governor by a majority of 30.000. and had returned a solid congressional delegation. Among those connected with the paper eminent in different fields was John M. Wood, one of the wealthiest citizens, whose marble hotel anticipated by many years the growth of Portland to a de mand for such soaclous accommodations. While the paper twas still owned by Mr. Wood he employed as editor that distin guished son of Maine. James G.

HORSE RAISED RUCTIONS. Equine From the Country District Act ed Gay on Water Street Yesterday. For about five minutes yesterday afternoon, at a little after 2.3o o'clock, there was a lively rumpus on Water street which was kicked up by a run away horse owned by C. Wesley Cum mings, who operates a milk farm out on the West River road. Mr. Cummings’ horse was attached to a low sleigh of sturdy build, and when the horse took fright at the upper end of Water street, and dashed off without anyone at the other end of the lines, the sleigh found itself in too fast company and dropped off by the wayside, hut not until it had collided with three or four other vehicles. The first collision was with a heavily laden coal pung. and Mr. Cummings' outfit came off second best. The next time the runaway had better luck, for it crashed into a fine sleigh owned by Luther Wall, who lives on the Itangor road, and smashed the body of the sleigh somewhat. A little later the sleigh parted company with the fright ened animal, near Dak street. The horse continued ils flight through Water street, and at last accounts was traveling out Western avenue, a mile from the scene of the smashup, at a pretty lively gait.

BATH SHIPYARDS. Year’s Work Depends on the Timber Supply. Prospect at Least as Good as at Opening ot 1905.

Maine Ship Builders Working Under Many Difficulties. Path, Jan. 3.—(Special).—The in creased prosperity f Hath shipyard the coming year, over the twelve months which have just passed, seems to depend to a large extent, according to Hath builders, ujioti their ability to secure more promptly the necessary timber with which to construc t their craft. Nearly all the builders along the river state that the prospects seem, at least, equal to those of last January while some of them assert that they are even bftfr but ill! agv«»t* that much depends upon the timber situation :inil tli.it is «i very Important feature of the case. Years ago. when a Maine man wanted to build a ship lie went Into tie- neigh holing forests and cut his oaken keel and frames as well as his celling and planking, masts and spars. His iron spikes and oak trenails were made by baud quite in contrast to the manner in which tin v are made today. Now the oak keel and lower frame's come from t'atiada. the tops of hack in, ta. k from Michigan, the hard pine for ceiling an I planking front the sunny Southland and the masts and spars fioni Oregon. Thus it will be seen that liie question of securing timber is one of more moment than it was years ago. aril tile vessel of today is not the home ina to pitMluct that she was when Maine supplied, not only the brain and lirawn. Put the material as Well for her White w inged messengers or commerce. To get at the true rendition of tilings the Journal correspondent has made a thorough canvass of the situation and interviewed some of the most promi nent of the- Hath builders regarding it and Imre is what they say. Treasurer Isaiah Coombs of the New Knglaltd Co., one of the largest and most widely known concerns in its ]im in the country, said in response to tlie query; "The prospects for lStMi in our line are perhaps brighter than they wa re a year ago when P."C. came in. in fact 1 really believe that they are. There are certainly name inquiries for vessels and that is usually considered a good sign among the builders The ad v.nuo in the price of materials, espe cially hard pine, makes it harder to g-t t ii lias not made its ap pearance. Tills is an unusual ease though and an exception rather than lit** 1 111**. •W hat is the cause of this delay?” y\a.s asked. Well 1 suppose the higher price ami dels y is «Uie in a largo measure to the f.ot that it is now practically in the li.mis of a few men anil they have pushed tin- price up aiul ship where the* *an do it to their Ives! advantage. There has hecii cotisiderahle of it shipi ed lint it lias been mostly in the wax you experience any delays in Retting your other lumber such as trallies"" was asked. ••Xu V eantiot say that wo do" was the response "tor we usually keep at least oin' frame in the yard ail the time to avoid such delays." "Then taken all In all you believe the prospect for Hath yards is as good or In Iter tlfur. il was in do you?" was asked. •‘Yes fully as good and 1 think the (tose or the year will shoyv up better.” w is the answer. tlardfncr it. 1 leering was the next builder interviewed. Mr. fleering by the way builds vessels for himself and at their completion sells them off in pieces doing little or no real contract work, lie is one of the oldest builders in th“ business and nearly always has sometnitig in the way of a big one on the stocks. He began building nearly n year ago and his frame is now in the yard, all standing, but owing to the non arrival of hard pine, for celling and planking, not a chip has down in the yard for a number of weeks. ■Regarding the scarcity of hard pine Mr. fleering said: “Yes. I have been subjected to a considerable delay in not securing my hard pine. 1 traded for it sewn months ago and not a stick has shown up yet but 1 am looking for it noxv very soon as I have received word that it is to be shipped at once. As soon as it arrives I shall go on with my .work.*' •♦what has* caused this delay, Mr. peering was asked. ••Well, they tell me that the drouth In the South last year prevented them from getting the logs to the mills. Then there was one of the big mills burned and that meant quite a draw back. As a rule two months is about pit ot the time required to secure a 15c For the First Insertion.

Re reservoir in this city and Carleton pond in Readficid is now approaching an end and it is probable that another week will find the pipe all in and cov ered. There are yet about 20 sections of pipe to lay and the contractors have a crew of ISO Italians at work on the line. The work of laying the pipe through the woods has been delayed by the presence of a long stretch of ledge, the whole length of which had to be blast id before the pipe could he put in. The length of the main line is about eight and one-half miles and the branch to the pumping station at Cobbosseeeon tee is one-half mile in length. According to the records at the office of the city clerk the list of births, mar riages and deaths which have occurred j in the city for the past year differs I very little from that of the year 1901. j For 1905 the number of births was 260: marriages. 159, and deaths. 316, and for the year 1904 there were 270 births, 155 marriages and 260 deaths. From these figures it will be seen that there were 10 less births in 1905 than in the preced ing year, live more marriages and five less deaths. The totals for the two years, however, were very close. One of the Portuguese employes at the Kdwards mills met with a serious and painful accident yesterday fore noon. by which he lost the forefinger of his left hand. The man was at work at a picker machine and had the bon net raised while he was cleaning the machine. In lowering the bonnet into place he let it drop so that it caught the Unger as above stated, severing it from the band. It is said that the acci dent was due to the man's carelessness.
