Very Light—Latest Results.
John L. Emerson was nominated yesterday as Republican candidate for the
seat in general assembly made vacant
by the death of Hon. Frank P. Ray.
Wbile the vote is not all received, the

returns from thirty precincts, Including
Meadville, Titusville, Conneautville;
Conneaut Like, Sprlngboro, Linesvllle, Cochranton, Geneva, Centrevllle,
Townville, Hydetown and Cambridge
Springs. These give Mr. Emerson a
total of 1,238 votes against 678 for Mr.
Roberts and 149 for Mr. Roddy. Tbe
remaining precincts of the county cannot change the .ballot sufficiently to
influence results.
With the notable exception of Titusville the vote was light. In this
ci_y Mr. Emerson's friendg gave him
an indorsemeat that was almost unanimous. Out of SIS votes cast he received 746.
The scenes about the four voting
precincts were animated all the afternoon and ward workers rallied to a
man In behalf of their candidate. Such
a home support has seldom been accorded any candidate, and had Mr. Emerson suffered defeat in the county hia.
iecord here would have been sufficient
cause for the deepest satisfaction.
In Meadville Mr. Emerson also made
an excellent showing, receiving 168
votes out of 480. In Cambridge Springs
he had a fine plurality over the otber
candidates. He carried Sprlngboro In
the west and every eastern precinct, except the Third ward of Titusville,
where he; was beaten by twelve votes. I
Many of the'country precincts failed
to organize. Spartansburg and Steuben were the only eastern ones wholly
indifferent to the election.

TRAFFICKING IN 30ULS
REBUKED BY THE COURT.
THEY  DIDNT  RELISH
GOING TO THE "PEN."
Three Men and Woman Heavily Sentenced—A More Recent Case.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Punishment
for trafficking in girls was meted out
today by Judge McMahon, who passer,
sentences' on one woman and - three
men for an aggregate of thirty-two
year's. "This traffic," said the judge,
"is worse than murder."
By coincidence at the time he was
[passing these sentences an example of
the traffic of whlcb he spoke, with four
girls from Reading, Pa., as the victims, had just been found by tbe police
in another part of the city. These
girls came to New York last Sunday,
renting an apartment together. They
had been mill operatives In Reading,
they said, and came bere in hopes ot
securing work which paid better. Today detectives saw tbem walking on
the Bowery in oompany with four
young men. Believing that the girls
were hot ordinary Bowery characters,
the detectives followed them until the
men led the girls into an evil resort.
Following them the officers broke
down the doors of their rooms and rescued the girls, who had been trapped
into the resort and were calling for
help. The men were arrested, charged
with abduction.
The prisoners whom Judge McMahon- sentenced today were charged
with bringing three girls to New York
from Newark, N. J. One of the girls,
who was in court as a witness, is In
such a condition that she is not expected to live.
Two of the men received sentences
of ten years leach, another got six
years and six. months and the woman
received five years and six months.

ROOT TELLS DISSENTERS
TO OBEY CUBAN LAWS.
Wjas Discussed by Mr. Randolph—The
Squire    Deposition    Was   Taken.
Some Handsome Stock Profits.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Just before
the insurance investigating committee
adjourned today Charles E. Hughes,
counsel for the committee, produced a
policy written by the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance company upon the lifo
Of an unknown, which policy stipulated
upon tbe first page that the insured
should pay a fixed' and stated premium, "subject to other benefits and
requirements elsewhere stated."
On page two of the policy- Mr..
Hughes read a clause, that the executive- com mittee of the/company could
require the holder of the policy to pay
any multiple of the amount of the premium stated on the flrst page
Whleh the Committee Saw Fit.
George D. El dredge, vice president
and actuary of the company, to whom
Mr. Hughes read the policy, said thai
the number of sucb policies Issued was
small.
Previously Edmund D. Randolph,
treasurer of the New York Life Ihaur-'
ance company, had said that It was
trite that be removed $700,000 worth or
New York city stock from the vaults
of the company and put a check of the
Central bank for that amount in the
place of it on Jan. 5, 1901. Mr. Randolph understood that the bank wanted
the stock for clients, one of which was
the Merchants' Trust company. He
promised to give the committee later
the names of the officers of the New
York Life Insurance company then ln
the Merchants' Trust company.
The deposition of George H-. Squire,
formerly - financial manager of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, tn
which he described some of the operations of the syndicate, which included
officers of that society, was read to the
committee. Mr. Squire said in it that
in 1901 the Equitable society bought
2,000 shares of the stock of the Lawyers' Title Insurance company
And Resold 1,500 Shares
to several of its officers and directors
at the purchase price, $174. Some ot
the Equitable men sold their stock
later, said Mr. Squire, and subsequently large blocks of the stock were sold
back to the Equitable society at $310
to $350 by the firm ot Williamson &
Squire. That firm might have bought
it from the officers of the Equitable society,' Mr. Squire said, but he did not
know.
Mr. Hughes also brought out that a
profit of $22,000 had been paid to Mr.
Squire from the sales of stock of tne
Lawyers' Mortgage company to the
i-quitable society and tbat Mr. Squire
had divided profits from an unknown
operation, aggregating $18,960, among
four officers of the Equitable society—
James W. Alexander, James H. Hyde,'
Thomas D. Jordan and W, H. Mclntyre.
The fact that the New York Security
and Trust company paid $18,000 to Andrew Hamilton, the legislative agent,
out of moneys belonging to the New
York Life was also brought out today.
W- S. Fanshaw, a dealer in' investment securities, told the committee
that Ib 1904 he bought New Orleans
Traction bonds to the amount of
$1,250,000 from the New York Life and
George W. Perkins, trustee of the
f'N.ylie" fund, giving them his checks
Amounting to $937,500
in payment and then borrowed tbe
$937,500 from the New York Life Insurance company, using the bonds as
collateral. He tben sold the bonds,
giving the New York Life Insurance
company 95 per cent, of the profits and
keeping 5 per cent..

SAILORS      CLING      TO      RIGGING
And Wait for Daylight—The crew of
27 Sculs May Perish in the Angry
Waters Before Help Comes,
DULUTH, Minn., Nov. 28 -One lifo
lost, three others believed to have perished and the big ore carrier Mataaia
of the Pittsburg Steamship company
wrecked, tells the tale of the most
thrilling and spectacular marine idis-
aster at the head of the lakes in recent
years. The steamer ls resting in.•fifteen feet of water, within 100 yards of
the shore, while its crew of twenty
seven members are being subjected to
the fury of tbo wind and wave
Until Daylight Comes.
After the vessel struck tbree of the
crew who were aft made the journey
to the forepart of the craft, followed
by a fourth, wbo retreated after having
been washed off the'deck and nertrly
into the lake. He caught a projection,
however, and crawled back to the
deck, thence to the boat's stern. The
tragic spectacle was - witnessed > by
10,000 spectators on shore.
Efforts to rescue the crew were practically abandoned at midnight by the
life saving crew. The night was bitter
eold, a northeast wind blew at the rate
of sixty-five miles an hour and a heavy
snowstorm made it impossible to work
to any advantage. Three times lines
were shot out
To the Stranded Craft,
bttt the men on board failed to reach
them and were left to their fate. In
the morning it is believed the sea will
have abated sufficiently to permit the
use Of life saving boats, whlcb was utterly Impossible tonight.
Storm specials received by tbe Evening Wisconsin today are as follows:
Ashland, Wis.—-.Navigation is wholly
suspended by tlie . northeast gale on
Lbke Superior. The snowfall has been
extraordinary^ Tlie snow is over.fifteen inches in drifts and is steadily

weathered the storm in safety. .Scores
of craft are tied up in the St. Ma.y'sj
river and in the vicinity of Wliitefish
Point, waiting for clearing weather.
The only accidents to shipping heard
of thus far at the government officer
at the Soo canal are those near Duluth.
Marquette reports an unusual .heavy |
snowfall for this time of year, witli
drifts so high that train and tract lon
service is impeded and greatly, .delayed.
Tremendous seas are running on Lake
Superior off Marquette harbor and mora
than a dozen,vessels are
Riding Out the Gale
Inside the breakwater there. Many
wires are down between Marquette and
the North End and communication was
demoralized for a large part" of tl.e|
day. More tban a foot of snow had fallen about Marquette this afternoon.
The greatest damage reported from
Lake Huron as a result of the gale is at
Alpena. The water-logged barge I
Harvey Bisseil, which, was tied at a

of Lake Huron. One small schooner,
the 3. M. Spaulding, bound down from
Roger City, was unable to make the
harbor today and went on the beach
near Fort Gratlce. The crew of four
men reached shore safely In their yawl
boat.

Thousands of dollars damage was
done to waterside property at Menominee and along the west shore of Green
Ray. The straits of Mackinaw wero
lashed during the day by the worst
gale In years, the wind reaching forty-
eight miles an hour, accompanied by a

AT COLUMBIA COLLEGE
GAME ABOLISHED BY COMMITTEE
ON  ORGANIZATION.
REASONS   PLAINLY   SET   FORTH.
Claimed  Game   Has   Become   Burdensome Alike to Students and Faculty—The Resolution Adopted.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Columbia
University lias abolished the game of
fQotball us at present played, as one
of the sports ln whlcb students of the
university will not be permitted to engage.
. The action was taken at a meting cf
the Columbia -University committee on
student organisations held tonight at
tbe university, at which were present
the' members of the committee, Professor Lord, chairman; Professor Mitchell,
Professor Odell, President Butler, Dean
KlrchWey and Professor Bogert, the
two latter former chairmen of the committee.
Resolutions Adopted.
The following preamble and resolutions were adopted:
"Under the authority conferred by
the university council on student organizations to supervise and control all
student organizations, athletic and
otber, wbich in any way represent the
university before the public, It is
"Resolved, That from and after Dec.
31, 1905, tbe football association of
Columbia University * shall ' be disbanded, before Which date all its accounts shall be settled to tho satisfaction of the comptroller of student organizations.
"Resolved, Tbat in the opinion of
this committee tbe present game of
football should be abolishes, and the
committee respectfully recommend to
the university council thai the game
be prohibited at Columbia University."
Professor Lord's Opinion.
Tlie action of the. committee is
final. The students are not permitted to play without the consent, of the
committee and if tbey do so tbey
render themselves liable to expulsion.
Professor Lord said after the i__ee_-
iqg-of the committee:
"The reasons tor this action need,
no explanation. They must-be present
to the mind of every one .acquainted
with the game as it is noy played.
Only by such radical actiort can university and college life be irid of an
obsession which it is believo.! has become as burdonsome to the meat mass
of students as it has proved it&olf harmful to academic standing andi dangerous to human life." Hv&i
leach of the colleges suggests the fol»
I lowing questions for consideration:
They are: Ougnt tbe present game
iof football to be abolished? If not,
what steps shoultl. bo taken to secure
its thorough reform? If abolished,
what game or games may be possible
in Its place?
Each college or university is invited
to send a representative of its faculty
and a representative of Its athletic organization, making a possible membership of forty.

MILWAUKEE,    Wis,,    Nov.    28.—
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 29.-1:5.
a. m.—The last day of grace accorded
the mutineers at Sebastopol expired
at midnight with no signs of surrender
on the part of the men. The hills towering above the harbor of the Russian
stronghold in the Rlacl. sea may resound this morning, as they did in the
days of the Crimean war, with the roar
Of musketry and cannon, should the
government' attempt to carry out its
announced intention of crushing tha
revolt with the mailed fist.
,The.rebellious sailors are playing a
tvatttn^ game and apparently have'full
confidence tht the guns of the fleet
will not be turned against them. If
|they. .have not effectually disregarded
the summons to haul down the red
flag, they seem determined to make
the authorities show their hand.
Whether General Nepulofl', the commandant of the fortress, who was released by the mutineers today and
who relieved Genera ^ Baron Mel ler
JQakomolskie, will dare to accept the
challenge .of the mutineers and stake
che
Discipline and Loyalty
not only of the troops at his disposal,
but of the whole army on the coast, is
however, doubtful. Dispatches from
a score of garrisons in Russia show
that the land forces of the empire are
in a state of discontent and any order
to the troops to flre upon' their comrades in the sister branch of the service might possibly precipitate a general and widespread mutiny. On the
other hand, it would be. difficult to
starve out tbe sailors by a regular
siege, as provisions and water can be
obtained by them, as they" are under
the guns of not unfriendly warships.
The report that the whole fleet had
gone over to the mutineers under the
command of Lieutenant Schmidt, the
revolutionary commander of the cruiser Otchakoff, ls Incorrect, though the
officers of the other ships probably will
•be unable to obtain obedience of the
men for the carrying out of any measures against their comrades.
'1 ne staff quarters at Sebastopol are
guarded by Cossacks and the oflicers
in the streets are accompanied by escorts of Cossacks, the only company
'the fidelity* of which is unquestioned.
Even the members' of the guard regiments, who are
Pets of the Imperial Family
and superlatively paid and .treated as
compared with the members of other
regiments, are joining in the revolutionary movement. Two hundred and
fifty men of the guard regiments who
are said to have been leaders in
spreading the revolutionary propaganda were present at their barracks Sunday nigbt.
It is reported that the sailors of the
guard   equipages    from    which    the,
crews   for the   imperial yachts   are
drawn will be removed to St. Peters-'
burg on account of disaffection among

Has Invited Colleges to Attend Conference to Abolish Football.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Almost at
the hour when the body of young Harold Moore, the Union college student
who was killed in a football game with
tho University of New York team last
Saturday, was being laid to rest In
Ogdensburg today, the faculty of. the
University of New York took definite*
action looking to the abolishment of
the game of football as it now is
played.
Every college whose football team
has played against New York university since 1885, when tho latter's team
was organized, has been invited to
take part in a conference to -consider
and finally disperse tbe futiure of the
game. With the call for tlie conference went the announcement that the
New York .university delegates will
support a resolution that the. present
game of football ought to be abolished.
The colleges invited to the conference,
nineteen in number, are: Union,
Syracuse, Hamilton, Weslyan, Lehigh,
Rutgers, Trinity, Haverford, Henssel-
Jae-r, Stevens, West Point, Princeton,
Columbia, Fordham, Ursimujs, Lafayette, Rochester, Amherst and Swarthmore.

Meriwether Takes Stand Today, When
Celebrated Case Closes.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 28.—The autopsy held last Sunday on the body of
the late Midshipman James R. Brancn,
Jr., bore fruit at today's session of the
court martial which is trying Midshipman Minor Meriwether on charges inclusive of manslaughter in connection
with the death of Midshipman Branch
after a fist fight with Meriwether. The
day's testimony was given mostly, by
medical men who had been present at
the autopsy and bore upon the question
whether tbe death of Midshipman
Branch resulted from blows of his opponent's fists or from his,head striking
the floor of the room in which tho
fight was held, previous testimony having shown' that Branch fell or was
knocked down several times during
the encounter.
The testimony was also given, according to whieh, although the naval academy hospital Journal shows the origin
of Injuries for which midshipmen are
treated, tbe morning sick report" sent
by the hospital officers to the superintendent of the academy does not, and
a witness giving testimony ln this connection said that he knew of no Inspection of the hospital Journal being
made by tho authorities.
Counsel for Midshipman Meriwether
announced that after putting the accused on the stand in his own defense
tomorrow, they will close their case.
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
FOR AUSTRIAN PEOPLE.
Monster Demonstrations Force Francis
Joseph Into Action.
VIENNA, Nov. 28.—Today marked a
new epoch in Austrian history when
the Austrian people throughout tbe entire land made known to the crown
their, imperial demand for equal suffrage, and even as this demand was
being voiced the crown, through •Premier Baron Gautch Von Prankenthurn.
In parliament was assuring tbe people
that Its will would be done. The Jpre-
.njiier promised to bring in by the- end
or February a bill providing for a full
and free universal equal and direct
suffrage.
The people made known their demand by a series of monster meetings
in alf the principal cities and towns of
the conntry. From_ only one town;
Austerlltz, are serious disorders- reported. There the troops fired on disorderly demonstrators, killing two ahd
wounding thirty. Otherwise the dem-
[onstratlons were characterized by the
maintenance of order and dignity. .
Hundreds of thousands of men paraded today, thus emphasizing their demand for political freedom. Such a
demonstration was never before witnessed in Austria, The most impres-
jsive feature of the whole day in Vienna
was found in the fact that not a single
voice -was raised as the masses
marched silently but earnestly «uu
with unmistakable determination.
