ADDITIONAL WEST SIDE NEWS Berliu, Jan. 4.—The railway administration placed orders last week for 20,- 000 freight cars, at a cost of $50,000,- 000, with manufacturers of five countries, stipulating delivery by the middla of February, besides utilizing the car works of Germany. These contracts were distributed among makers in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. Inquiries made regarding the reasonu for urgency resulted in obtaining the statement that the ordering of the cars was a precautioimry measure, the general staff desiring To be ready to movo troops if necessary hy the 1st of March. This is only a proper measure of prudence, it was affirmed, in view of the extensive military rearrangements going on in France, which, among othet dispositions, include the movement toward the German frontier of six regiments of artillery, or 180 guus. The ordering of these freight cars, each of which would accommodate forty solfliers or would enable the authorities to transport material, was only hi consequence of the French preparations, it was said, anil should not be taken to indicate any hostile design on the pari of Germany. Albany. X. Y., Jan. 4.—Senator Bracket! (Saratoga) soon after the legislature convened introduced a resolution demanding of Chauncey M. Depew his resignation ns United States senator from this state. The resolution in full is as follows: - New Haven, Conn., Jan. 4.—Apparently murdered, Charles Atwood Edwards, a resident of New York, known throughout the country in the chemical business, a descendant of Jonathan Edwards and connected with distinguished New England families, was found dead in bed here. He had been shot in the head on the left side directly behind the ear. The wound could not have been Inflicted by himself and other circumstances point almost conclusively to murder.

The borough schools will reopen on Monday, Jan. 8, after a two weeks' vacation, "I have been Jn consultation with my legal advisers, and In communication with the Attorney Qenerall's Department with a view to proceeding against those who are violating the health law of the; State, whicli provides that no teacher is to admit children to school who havo not presented certificates of successful vaccination." Receive Proper Consld- The police of New Haven have already eliminated the theory of suicide, but they have not yet settled upon the identity of the murderer. Indications in that direction are not wanting, but the horror of the tragedy In view of these indications is such that the authorities hesitate to encourage the assumption that an enemy had slain this fine old man, a courtly gentleman, not known to have Incurred the ill will of any- one so desperate as to resort to murder. ei-ntion Very Interesting meetings arc being held at the Brick M. E. church each evening. A matter of importance to residents of the borough that will come up for consideration at an adjourned meeting of the town council tonight is the question of street lighting. This subject has been given much discussion throughout the borough of late, and many plans have been suggested as solutions of the question. Our streets must be well lighted and at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers; that goep without saying. Any plan that calls for an increase in our taxes without considerable compensating benefits will meet with well merited opposition on the part of citizens because our taxes are already high enough. Then, too, our streets are*, rendered unsightly by too many poles and wires at presen—sometimes as many as three separate poles being seen on one corner. Will our residents favor the erection by the borough of another complete set of poles, wires, etc., involving expense to taxpayers and additional danger to shade trees, besides being a nuisance in other respects? Most likely such a scheme would meet with pretty strong opposition all around. If the present contracting company will bind itself to give and maintain a good quality of fight and at a fair rate why should It be necessary to buy electricity from some out-of-town j plant, possibly owned and operated by people who do not care a hoorah for our town except for what they can get out of it, while th& «smpaD/Cy „thut at present has the contract is owned by our own people, who are taxi payers here themseWes. The Citizens' Cos, it might be said, has signified its willingness to keep the service fully up to the proper Ktandard. If awarded ithe contract. Of course, if the home company put its price up to a prohibitive figure it would be necessary to do something desperate to relieve the situation. Perhaps it would be well to find out just what the Citizens' company is willing to do before going further With the matter. It should be posible to secure a binding contract whereby the lights would be kept up to full candle power, dim lamps being replaced, and all at a reasonable price. Of course, If such a contract cannot be secured, other measures must be adopted. NO TEACHER ELECTED. Tragic Death of John Imes, IN THE THEATRES. of Rendham School Controllers Failed to "Tho Miclnlglit Flyer," Saturday. Maks Choice. The originality of the dramatist in adopting actual occurrcnces, and by his art of enlarging on them and constructing a possible lot of situations with possible dialogue, and the interweaving of It into a play of human heart interest, Is what has never been so cleverly done in recent years as by the author of "The Midnight Flyer." A play that has been seen and favorably received In every country of the globe. This success cannot be laid to chance, but solely to the strength of the play, which encompasses every passion of the heart, places them in the most Intensely Interesting situations, and pD«v8 with a master hand on the sy£ hies of the audlenpe. Ed. AndenRiri," the well known manager, has secured a brilliant company to produce "The Midnight Flyer," and It will be seen at the Lyric theater on Saturday afternoon and evening. It is known, however, that for the last few months Charles At wood Edwards was in mortal fear of his life. He had said to an intimate friend only as late as last Saturday that he believed he had an enemy in New Haven whose animosity was so intense that he dreaded to go to the old Elm City. Still he came here last Monday. He had expected to return to New York yesterday.Cut llh Hiroat With a Stiletto in tl»e William A. Mine, Where He Whs Considered Preservative of Peace.

Legal Papers. John Imes, aged 47 years, of Rendham, committed suicide last evening about five o'clock In the William A. mine, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.. near Duryea. where he was employed. He cut his throat with a stiletto. The regular monthly meeting of the city board of school control, last evening, was without particular Interest, except when the question of electing a new teacher was up for disposal. The body took ten ballots to try and decidc on a choice for the filling of the vacancy, but was unable t6 do so. none of the candidates receiving a majority vote. Killed In House of Mother-in-law. The occasion for Mr. Edwards' frequent visits to New Haven was the settlement of his mother-in-law's estate. His wife's relatives live here and many of his own are residents alsa. It was in the old home of the mother-in-law. Mrs. Abigail Hiller. in the very shadow of Yale's campus, that he was killed. Mrs. Ililler died several weeks ago, leaving a fortune of about $1IKUXKD. No will hail yet been offered for probate, and no executor had lD*en appointed. The immediate heirs are Mrs. Sarnh Catharine Edwards, widow of Charles A. Edwards, and her two brothers- Charles Alidis Hiller and Allan Maxcy Hiller. it was in his wife's interest that Mr. Edwards concerned himself with the property. The body was discovered by some of the workmen In the mine shortly afterwards, but It was too late to do anything. The man was dead. tlons SENATOR CHAUNCEY At. DEPEW. Imes was a pumprunner and had held the position for years. He was at work yesterday as usual and was apparently In his ordinary frame of mind. There was no one present at the time he took his . life. Imes is the man njho was arrested a short time ago on the suspicion that he was the one who committed the assault on Miss Maud Wynn, in Rendham, a few weeks ago. Miss Wynn at first thought he was the man, but later stated that she could not swear that he was and he was released. No doubt exists here thtjt the French and German policies will differ in the conference 011 the question of policing the Morocco-Algerian froutier and on some less important questions. Under the terms of the agreement to hold the conference all the participating powers must agree to the conclusion* of the conference or the situation reverts to the status quo. If the situation becomes as It was before the powers assented to call the conference serious disagreements between those specially interested may arise. Equitable I.ife Assurance society and Chauucey M. Depew. one of the senators of the state in the Uuited States A. T. Walsh presided over tho meeting, and all the members were present except P. A. Walsh and Mr. Smiles. The first question taken up was the election of a new teacher to be placed in the room to be opened In the basement of Lincoln building. The first ballot resulted as follows: Miss McLaughlin, 3; Miss Connell, 3; Miss Kearney, S: Miss Goodman, 1; Miss Blewjtt, 1; Miss Bohan, 3; Miss Burke, 3. Nine other ballots were taken, but without effect. When the directors decided to drop thft question the vote was as follows: Miss Connell, 8; Miss Burke, 7; Miss Kearney, 5.

The.v found that the house had not been broken into forcibly, but an unbolted kitchen door, which the house servants claimed was securely fastened during the night, gave a possible clew that some one hiul passed out of the house by that means. It may have been the remorso caused by his arrest and the resulting suspicion, or it may have been drink that was responsible for the deed. Imes had always been » heavy drinker and his friends say that it was drink that prompted him to take Ills life. OPERATORS TO MEET MINERS' COMMITTEE After a heated discussion Senatoi' Brackett disavowed any personal feeling against Senator Depew. He said: The building committee reported that it had not had the room In the basement fitted up for school purposes owing to the holidays. This committee has under consideration a plan for ventilating Washington building. "I am willing to withdraw my resolution in view of the present illness of the junior senator from New York, but 1 give notice that I shall reintroduce it and that it will be pressed to passage."

ADDITIONAL WEST SIDE NEWS Berliu, Jan. 4.—The railway administration placed orders last week for 20,- 000 freight cars, at a cost of $50,000,- 000, with manufacturers of five countries, stipulating delivery by the middla of February, besides utilizing the car works of Germany. These contracts were distributed among makers in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. Inquiries made regarding the reasonu for urgency resulted in obtaining the statement that the ordering of the cars was a precautioimry measure, the general staff desiring To be ready to movo troops if necessary hy the 1st of March. This is only a proper measure of prudence, it was affirmed, in view of the extensive military rearrangements going on in France, which, among othet dispositions, include the movement toward the German frontier of six regiments of artillery, or 180 guus. The ordering of these freight cars, each of which would accommodate forty solfliers or would enable the authorities to transport material, was only hi consequence of the French preparations, it was said, anil should not be taken to indicate any hostile design on the pari of Germany. Albany. X. Y., Jan. 4.—Senator Bracket! (Saratoga) soon after the legislature convened introduced a resolution demanding of Chauncey M. Depew his resignation ns United States senator from this state. The resolution in full is as follows: - New Haven, Conn., Jan. 4.—Apparently murdered, Charles Atwood Edwards, a resident of New York, known throughout the country in the chemical business, a descendant of Jonathan Edwards and connected with distinguished New England families, was found dead in bed here. He had been shot in the head on the left side directly behind the ear. The wound could not have been Inflicted by himself and other circumstances point almost conclusively to murder.

The borough schools will reopen on Monday, Jan. 8, after a two weeks' vacation, "I have been Jn consultation with my legal advisers, and In communication with the Attorney Qenerall's Department with a view to proceeding against those who are violating the health law of the; State, whicli provides that no teacher is to admit children to school who havo not presented certificates of successful vaccination." Receive Proper Consld- The police of New Haven have already eliminated the theory of suicide, but they have not yet settled upon the identity of the murderer. Indications in that direction are not wanting, but the horror of the tragedy In view of these indications is such that the authorities hesitate to encourage the assumption that an enemy had slain this fine old man, a courtly gentleman, not known to have Incurred the ill will of any- one so desperate as to resort to murder. ei-ntion Very Interesting meetings arc being held at the Brick M. E. church each evening. A matter of importance to residents of the borough that will come up for consideration at an adjourned meeting of the town council tonight is the question of street lighting. This subject has been given much discussion throughout the borough of late, and many plans have been suggested as solutions of the question. Our streets must be well lighted and at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers; that goep without saying. Any plan that calls for an increase in our taxes without considerable compensating benefits will meet with well merited opposition on the part of citizens because our taxes are already high enough. Then, too, our streets are*, rendered unsightly by too many poles and wires at presen—sometimes as many as three separate poles being seen on one corner. Will our residents favor the erection by the borough of another complete set of poles, wires, etc., involving expense to taxpayers and additional danger to shade trees, besides being a nuisance in other respects? Most likely such a scheme would meet with pretty strong opposition all around. If the present contracting company will bind itself to give and maintain a good quality of fight and at a fair rate why should It be necessary to buy electricity from some out-of-town j plant, possibly owned and operated by people who do not care a hoorah for our town except for what they can get out of it, while th& «smpaD/Cy „thut at present has the contract is owned by our own people, who are taxi payers here themseWes. The Citizens' Cos, it might be said, has signified its willingness to keep the service fully up to the proper Ktandard. If awarded ithe contract. Of course, if the home company put its price up to a prohibitive figure it would be necessary to do something desperate to relieve the situation. Perhaps it would be well to find out just what the Citizens' company is willing to do before going further With the matter. It should be posible to secure a binding contract whereby the lights would be kept up to full candle power, dim lamps being replaced, and all at a reasonable price. Of course, If such a contract cannot be secured, other measures must be adopted. NO TEACHER ELECTED. Tragic Death of John Imes, IN THE THEATRES. of Rendham School Controllers Failed to "Tho Miclnlglit Flyer," Saturday. Maks Choice. The originality of the dramatist in adopting actual occurrcnces, and by his art of enlarging on them and constructing a possible lot of situations with possible dialogue, and the interweaving of It into a play of human heart interest, Is what has never been so cleverly done in recent years as by the author of "The Midnight Flyer." A play that has been seen and favorably received In every country of the globe. This success cannot be laid to chance, but solely to the strength of the play, which encompasses every passion of the heart, places them in the most Intensely Interesting situations, and pD«v8 with a master hand on the sy£ hies of the audlenpe. Ed. AndenRiri," the well known manager, has secured a brilliant company to produce "The Midnight Flyer," and It will be seen at the Lyric theater on Saturday afternoon and evening. It is known, however, that for the last few months Charles At wood Edwards was in mortal fear of his life. He had said to an intimate friend only as late as last Saturday that he believed he had an enemy in New Haven whose animosity was so intense that he dreaded to go to the old Elm City. Still he came here last Monday. He had expected to return to New York yesterday.Cut llh Hiroat With a Stiletto in tl»e William A. Mine, Where He Whs Considered Preservative of Peace.

Legal Papers. John Imes, aged 47 years, of Rendham, committed suicide last evening about five o'clock In the William A. mine, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.. near Duryea. where he was employed. He cut his throat with a stiletto. The regular monthly meeting of the city board of school control, last evening, was without particular Interest, except when the question of electing a new teacher was up for disposal. The body took ten ballots to try and decidc on a choice for the filling of the vacancy, but was unable t6 do so. none of the candidates receiving a majority vote. Killed In House of Mother-in-law. The occasion for Mr. Edwards' frequent visits to New Haven was the settlement of his mother-in-law's estate. His wife's relatives live here and many of his own are residents alsa. It was in the old home of the mother-in-law. Mrs. Abigail Hiller. in the very shadow of Yale's campus, that he was killed. Mrs. Ililler died several weeks ago, leaving a fortune of about $1IKUXKD. No will hail yet been offered for probate, and no executor had lD*en appointed. The immediate heirs are Mrs. Sarnh Catharine Edwards, widow of Charles A. Edwards, and her two brothers- Charles Alidis Hiller and Allan Maxcy Hiller. it was in his wife's interest that Mr. Edwards concerned himself with the property. The body was discovered by some of the workmen In the mine shortly afterwards, but It was too late to do anything. The man was dead. tlons SENATOR CHAUNCEY At. DEPEW. Imes was a pumprunner and had held the position for years. He was at work yesterday as usual and was apparently In his ordinary frame of mind. There was no one present at the time he took his . life. Imes is the man njho was arrested a short time ago on the suspicion that he was the one who committed the assault on Miss Maud Wynn, in Rendham, a few weeks ago. Miss Wynn at first thought he was the man, but later stated that she could not swear that he was and he was released. No doubt exists here thtjt the French and German policies will differ in the conference 011 the question of policing the Morocco-Algerian froutier and on some less important questions. Under the terms of the agreement to hold the conference all the participating powers must agree to the conclusion* of the conference or the situation reverts to the status quo. If the situation becomes as It was before the powers assented to call the conference serious disagreements between those specially interested may arise. Equitable I.ife Assurance society and Chauucey M. Depew. one of the senators of the state in the Uuited States A. T. Walsh presided over tho meeting, and all the members were present except P. A. Walsh and Mr. Smiles. The first question taken up was the election of a new teacher to be placed in the room to be opened In the basement of Lincoln building. The first ballot resulted as follows: Miss McLaughlin, 3; Miss Connell, 3; Miss Kearney, S: Miss Goodman, 1; Miss Blewjtt, 1; Miss Bohan, 3; Miss Burke, 3. Nine other ballots were taken, but without effect. When the directors decided to drop thft question the vote was as follows: Miss Connell, 8; Miss Burke, 7; Miss Kearney, 5.

The.v found that the house had not been broken into forcibly, but an unbolted kitchen door, which the house servants claimed was securely fastened during the night, gave a possible clew that some one hiul passed out of the house by that means. It may have been the remorso caused by his arrest and the resulting suspicion, or it may have been drink that was responsible for the deed. Imes had always been » heavy drinker and his friends say that it was drink that prompted him to take Ills life. OPERATORS TO MEET MINERS' COMMITTEE After a heated discussion Senatoi' Brackett disavowed any personal feeling against Senator Depew. He said: The building committee reported that it had not had the room In the basement fitted up for school purposes owing to the holidays. This committee has under consideration a plan for ventilating Washington building. "I am willing to withdraw my resolution in view of the present illness of the junior senator from New York, but 1 give notice that I shall reintroduce it and that it will be pressed to passage."
