AGAINST NEWSPAPER WRITERS, Winsted Town Clerk and Clergymen , Conspire to Freeze Them Out. -Winsted, Nov. 23. The newspap ef aen of Winsted, who have long bf en noted for ferreting out secret iharriages, are having considerable trouble of late trying to keep' track of the marriages that are performeo In the borough. In the past, if a ru mor reached a reporter that certain persons had been married in the town he simply consulted the town records and ascertained positively whether the report was true or not. Charles H. Bassett, the present town clerk, has, however, formed the opinion that the stubs kept when marriage licenses are issued are, his personal property and newspapermen are denied access to them until the license itself has been returned, usu ally a month afterwards. Further than that when questioned he posi tively denies that such a license has been issued. Several clergymen have followed his example and as a result secret marriages are. frequently being brought to light by the report ers who usually succeed despite the obstacles placed before them. If pre sent conditions continue Winsted is likely to assume the honors formerly held by Millerton, N. Y., as the Gret na Green of Connecticut.

Harvard Square Alive With foot ball Enthusiasts Decora tions Everywhere YALE 6 IN FIRST HALF Cambridge, Mass.; Nov. '23. Har vard Square was bustling with ac tivity and blossoming in two colors, the red and .the blue, with the first of the army of forty thousand people all eager for the football game be tween Harvard and - Yale, reached Cambridge to-day. The old college buildings in the yard were resplend ent in Harvard flags and the stores -in Harvard Square were gaily decorated. with both coolrs, while undergradu ates, as well as old time students, were rushing about receiving visitors, Across the river rose the grey wallr of the stadium, the scene of the day's contest. Many thousand additional seats were provided for by the erection of temporary stands at theopen " end along the side lines and on top of the great structure. The turf was well rolled and entirely free from frost, but yesterday's moist weather had made it a trifle slippery so that sev eral hours before the game it looked as if the players might find the foot ing uncertain and quick starts al most impossible. Despite the swarm of Yale enthusi asts all sanguine of victory, the un dergraduates of Harvard were still undismayed this forenoon and ap peared unanimous in their belief that their team would win, notwithstand ing Ule s undoubted strength and the recent crimson defeats. Still there was very little betting on the game and what wagers were made were almost entirely on the matter of the size of the score or on Harvard's chances of crossing Yale's goal line, Keports from the quarters where the two teams had spent the night were or an encouraging nature and the different trainers had no hesit ancy In stating that their charges were in excellent shape and with few exceptions' able to play seventy min utes of hard football. Tne weather, rrom tne viewpoint of thousands of spectators, was ideal, the day . being typical or perrect Indian summer. The players, however, would, perhaps, have been better satisfied if the temnera ture had . been several degrees lower, and the atmosphere more frosty and Dracing. : The day was eminently entirely given up to the game and practically all business in Cambridge, except that of entertaining the visitors, was for gotteen. Several thousand people, rather than risk meagre lunch accommoda tions in the city, brought their own fare to Soldiers' field so that the Btad ium, even at the noon hour, was a scene of considerable activity. In anticipation of a multitude of automobiles the Harvard athletic management arranged for a broad parking space in the rear of the stadium covering not only three oth er football fields but two baseball dia monds. In addition many of the resi dents of that portion of Brighton near the stadium, threw open their yards for the accommodation of the motor cars. The arrival of these great squad rons of powerful machines, nearly all gaily decorated with either blue or crimson ags, was one of the spectacu lar features of the day. Some of the cars were completely draped In bunt ing while over the hoods In the rear were ung broad banners with the words "Yale" or "Harvard" in white agaginst the blue back ground or black against the red. Many of the cars mounted flag poiea on wnicn were flown broad streamers which snapped in the breexe as the automobiles scurried out to the stadium by the various roads. Game Start at 2:08. Burr started the game at 2: OS by kicking to Tad Jonea; Coy took the ball and panted to Harvard's twenty six yard line. On a fake kick New hall sent the bp II over Coy's head and Harvard got the ball. Captain Parker dropped Lack for a kick, but lr was a failure. Wendell made three yards around Yiles left end. Cap tain Parker was nnable to gain and was poshed back for a loss. Bride then went through the center 'o the thirty-five yard line. Bomar ws sent through for eight more. Bride got to the center of the field, where he was thrown heavily. Yale made only four yards on three downs, as Har vard was putting np a very tfrong defensive game. Coy made one yard and Bomar made two. The ball was lost at the eighteen yard line. Burr kicked to Tad Jones, who ran it back to the middle of the field. An onside kick sent the ball to Tale's thirty yard line. Coy took It to the twenty yard line for the first down Tsle was penalised for holding and the ball was Uken back to tbe mid dle of the field. Coy went around the light end for three yards It was Yale's ball on Harvard's fifty yard line. Eight yards were made oa a forward pan and then Cor was thrown back for a Inca of tea yards.

New York,'Nov 23. A double trag edy, believed by the police to be a murder and suicide, was discovered early to-day by firemen who had been called out to subdue a blaze in the home of Nicholas Smith a weal thy manufacturer, of New Kochelle. When the firemen burst iuto the house after the flames had been con trolled, they found Smith and his young wife dead, each with a bullet wouudiu the body. Sirs Smith had been shot in the breast and apparent ly instantly killed. The Uullent which killed the husband entered his head just behind tbe left ear. On the floor beside eSinith's body was found a revolver with which, it is belfeved, the fatal double shooting was ' -done. That Smith had killed his wife, fired the house in hope that it would hide his crime and then killed himself was plainly proven in a note found In tbe room. That the act was that of an insane man seems to be almost as clearly proven by the wording of the note. It was addressed to "Dear Minnie," and in it Smith told of his intention of killing his wife, then setting fire to the house and finally killing himself. He said that he had cut off his hair because his head ached. It is believed that fully an hour and a half elapsed between thetime'Mrs Smith was shot to death as she lay sleeping in her bed and the firing of the shot -which completed the tragedy. In this in terval Smith made a careful inventory of nearly everything of value in the house and left it with ,. instructions that all his debts be paid. Two women servants who were in the house at the time of the tragedy may be able later to tell something ol the causes leading up to the tragedy. They were in a hysterical condition, however, when the firemen broke Into the burning house and found them locked In a room filled with smoke. One of the women told the police that Mr and Mrs Smith had quarreled vio lently last evening. She told them also that she had heard the shots fired and that there was an interval of at least an hour and a half between the first and second. During all the time from the firing of the first shot until the firemen came, the woman said. she and ner companion had remained locked In their room. Smith was an automobile manufac turer and had a place of business in in is city. Dear Minnie: Pay my debts. nhve cut my hair off, for my head .1 - mi a - - - - aches. me nre win cover my aeea. Edward III.' Drum Corp. Probably introduced from the east, Is frequently mentioned in the accounts of the first crusade. When Edward III. and his queen made their trlum- pnai entry into caiais, "tambours," or drums, were among the instruments which were played in their honor. An other of these wa8 called a "naker," or kettledrum, taken, together with its name, from the Arabs. The poet Chau cer also mentions this Instrument in bis description of the tournament in the "Knightes Tale:" Fyfcs, trompes. nakerea and clarlounet. That tn the batallle blowen blody sounes. The king generally kept a troop of these bandsmen or minstrels in his employ, and we read that Edward II. on one occasion gave a sum of 00 shillings to Roger the trumpeter, Janlno tbe nakerer and others for their per formances. Chambers' Journal. The Soul and the Beard. In Russia it was tbe common belief np to the time of Teter the Great that beardless men were also soulless and that a man who purposely admitted having bis beard marred could never enter heaven. The great Peter above referred to ordered his heathens to "shave up," so as to appear more civi lized, and when they refused to comply with his edict he fined the wealthy and middle 'classes 100 rubles for each beard that was permitted to grow and each peasant and laborer a kopeck for tbe same privilege. Finally tbe priests were appealed to, and they Informed their parishioners that unless they sub mitted to having their beards shaved they need not expect that St Nicholas, tbe gatekeeper of heaven, would be able to distinguish them from the bearded Turks. That had the desired effect Cinnamon Toper. Both cinnamon and cassia contain tannin, snd too much of either has tbe same effect as excessive tea drinking.

Roosevelt by Appointment. RESULT OF CONFAB UNKNOWN But Believed to Be .In Relation to the Financial Situation -Ons Year Treas ury Certificates As to Currency Legislation."' Washington, Nov. 23. J. Pierpont Morgan and "George F. Baker, the lat ter president of the First National bank of New -York city, arrived here for a conference, with Secretary Cor telyou of the treasury. :, At 10 o'clock last night Messrs. Morgan and Baker, accompanied by Assistant Secretary Robert Bacon of the state department, went to the White House to see the president by appointment. The ob ject of their visit was not divulged, but it was believed to be In relation to the financial situation. Upon leav ing the- White House at 11:25, after being with the president an hour and a half, Mr. Morgan on being asked In regard to the developments replied that conditions In New York were reassur ing. He said everything possible was being done to relieve the money strin gency and that the situation was sat' isfactory. Mr. Morgan said also that his ob ject in coming to Washington was to see Secretary Cortelyou in furtherance of the Conference he had with the sec retary in New York last week, at which time means were discussed for the further relief of the situation. He saw Secretary Cortelyou before going to the White. House and called on President Roosevelt to pay his respects.- Mr. Morgan probably' will re turn to New York today. He could not say whether he would again see the president before leaving for New York. i An important announcement of poli cy was made by Secretary Cortelyou in regard to the allotment of the new one year treasury certificates which in dicates that the secretary is prepared to cut red tape as far as possible and place the proceeds of the sale of the certificates promptly at the disposal of the money market. , He proposes to return to national banks subscribing for the certificates as a deposit of pub lic money 75 per cent bf the cash paid for them. . The remaining 25 per cent .will go for the time being to strength en the cash balance of the treasury. Tne nanus surrendering this 25 cent will not, "however, suffer a re duction In their supply of currency, for they will be entitled to receive the par value of the certificates purchased in new bank circulation. In order to make this transaction immediately ef fective the treasury will retain the cer tificates purchased by each bank If It desires that tbey be deposited with the United States treasury as security for circulation and will ship the notes at once. Secretary Cortelyou Is studying the applications for certificates carefully in order to make the allotments In the manner which will be most beneficial' to the monetary situation. A great variety of rumors are In cir culation in regard to Jhe purposes of the president and Secretary Cortelyou In regard to currency legislation. Sug gestions such as the insuring of depos its in national banks, which Mr. Bryan has Just Indorsed; the issue of addi tional bank notes against state and municipal bonds and the requirement of interest on government deposits In the banks are reported to have been presented to members of the adminis tration and to have been favorably re ceived. The fact appears to be, how ever, that the president and secretary of the treasury are simply assuming a receptive attitude and are listening to all suggestions which are made to them without committing themselves to any.

Kellogg has given his opinion in regard to the proposed boxing exhibition to be given in this city on December 6, by the National Athletic club. It says that a boxing exhibition Is le'gai while a prize fight is a serious offense. His opinion was asked by the board of safety who did not wish to grant the application until they had heard from Mr Kellogg. The opinion follows and speaks for itself: Waterbury, Nov. 21, 1907. To the Honorable Board of Commis sioners of Public Safety, City of Waterbury: In response to the request of your honorable body contained in the fol lowing vote: Voted, That a copy of the petition of the National Athletic club for per mission to hold a sparring exhibition be transmitted to the city attorney, and he be requested to furnish this board, on or before Monday, Novem ber 25, 1907, with an ODinion as tn whether the board of commlsioners of Puduc satety can legally grant such petition. I would respectfully advise you, Tlin, 1 1 a sparring exniDltion. mire and simple, is not an offense either against the law of the state or the provisions of the charter of this city, provided section 3 of the ord entitled "Good Order and Decency," is complied with. I must advise, vnn however, that under the law of this state prize fighting is a serious offense covering not only the participants, but any witnesses, or anyone who in any way has aided or encouraged such ngnt. ine sections set forth this of fense are as follows: Section 1282. Prize Fiirhttn.r Every person who shall be principal or second in any prize fight in this state shall be imprisoned not more than five years, or fined nnt. mn than one thousand dollars, or both. (as amended, see chapter 158. Dublic acts, 1903). Section 1283. Witness! ne or Aid ing Prize Fights. Everv nersnn whn shall be present at any prize fight, to aid, abet, or assist therein, or give countenance thereto, or who shall aid or encourage such fight, in this state, without being present thereat, shall be imprisoned not more than two years, or fined not more than five hundred dollars, or both. " Since the passage of these sections the state has set forth a definl firm nt prize fighting in chapter 157 of the public acts of 1903, reading as fol lows: "A contest In which blows are struck which are intended or calcu lated to stun, disable. Or knorlrnnt either of the contestants, or in which either contestant is counted out or otherwise declared defeated because of failure to resume the contest with In a certain time, shall be deemed a prize fight within the meanlno- nf section izsz or the general statutes." If it seems possible to your board mat a sparring exhibition can be 6'cu which wuuici not violate anv portion of thla definition, and that it will be a contest In which no blows are to be struck which are either In tended or calculated to stun, dlsahle or knockout either of the contestant or in which either contestant is not to De aeciarea defeated for failure to re sume tne contest within a certain time, then I am of the opinion that you can grant a permit for the exhi bition proposed. On the other hand, if you are of the opinion tnat In the proposed contest there will be blows struck calculated to stun, disable, or knockout an op ponent, or that the contest may be decided by tbe failure of one to con tinue within a limited time, then you should not grant the desired permit. iiespectruny, JOHN P.

One of Waterbury s Best Fire Horses Put Out of Business This Noon NO DAMAGE FROM FIRE While answering "the call of box 263, at the corner of Abbott avenue and Phoenix avenue, this afternoon about 1:15, Hook and Ladder No 1 collided with a pole at the corner of North Main and Phoenix avenue, with the result that Jimmie, one of the big grays, had his shoulder blade broken. The horse, according to the veterinary attending him, will be useless from now on for the fire de partment. Chemical Engine No 1 and hose wagon No 2, one right after the other, had gone along North Main street and had taken the turn onto Abbott avenue with safety, when Hook and Ladder No 1, led by the three grays, came along. Grover Cleveland, the regular driver, is ill at his home on East Main street, so Jack Johnson was handling the riDDons. "Eddie" .Byrnes was on the steering wheel. It looked as though Johnson thought the fire was further up North Main, for he made a close turn all of a sudden into Abbott avenue. The horse, so it is said, slippedbut did not go down. But it went against the iron pole which holds up the trolley wires with such force that it was' seriously Injured. The hook and ladder also went Into the pole, that is the front wheel of it. The horse was quickly unhitched and taken to the stables of Dr Bland, tho veterinary, where it was found his shoulder blade was broken. Dr Beere said the animal would be use less to the fire department from now on. The hook anrl ladder wan In Eiieh ftt' waa'.tfiiprocJuthe entrance to Abbott avenue.

In the probate court this after noon there was a hearing on the ac count of the Judge George H. Cow ell and Mrs Henrietta J. Feck as ad ministrators on the estate of Mrs Peck's husband, the late Frankl'n L. Peck. The account showed that At torney E. F. Cole for services ren dered charged $1,000, that Judge Cowell charged the same, and Mrs Peck asked $2,000. Attorney Sey mour of New York, representing the heirs of Mr Peck's first wife, did not object to Mrs Peck's claim. He said she was deserving of every cent of it because she had earned it, but he most strenuously objected to thr, ciaims of the lawyers. He thought $250 would bo good pay for what Attorney Cole did for the estate, and considering that all Judge Cowell did was to write four letters, he thought , $250 a letter was a pretty stiff rate, i He believed Judge Cowell would compromise in some way. It was shown that Mrs Peck did almost all the work. She collected all the rents and there is due from that source no. only $16. This is considered to be a very good tecord, and therefore Mrs Peck was Justified in putting In a claim for $2,000. There was no objection from any source or line of heirs to her claim The hearing was continued to Mon day morning at 11 o'clock.

While in this city yesterday after noon Sam Bernard, who played at Poli's.last evening, strolled into the Jacques to see the variety for awhile. He did not think there was any sur prise in store for him, but there was He was more than impressed with the act of "The Wall Between," written and played by Miss Agnes Scott, and immediately sought, an interview with her. Bernard thinks she is just the girl for the stellar role of a new play to be produced by the Shuberts the first of the year. Last evening Miss Scott, her sister, Miss Bernardina Scott, and Mr' Bernard had a confer ence in which It was planned to have Miss Scott take the place which Ber nard offers. She is willing to do so. at least shethinks she will, although she has not fully decided, provided she can get out of her vaudeville con tracts, fane is booked on the Keith Proctor circuit for about forty weeks, and it may be difficult to get her free from this booking time. There are few acts, especially those not having a leading place on a bill, of the stand ard of Miss Scott's and the booking houses may be reluctant to allow her to withdraw from her contract. Miss Scott Is a native of Nashville, Tenn., and has been on the stage for six years. She first started as an elocu tionist then went into a stock com pany and recently wrote the sketch which sle is now playing. As stated in the Democrat's review of the show it is fashioned after "The American Lord" as played by William Crane and is a delightful skit. . , ' Weston Feeling Fine. Bryan, O., Nov 23.
