The City ofBouth Norwaiit's board
of estimate and taxation refused. last
flight. to recode from the position
“which it has held for some time—
that it has no right to unite an ap-
profit-tattoo to cover the deficiency oi
the ,city council. The. iatter's defic-
iency amounts to $1,823.36 and 01,100.
The last named figure is for the car
sprinkling service. and is covered by
all slleasntonts coming due in May.
"Wilts first named figure. $1,828.30.
for bills paid since January i. city
mics have been issued.
Aa.»a mutt of the board's failure to
make an apropriation to cover this
. amount. it is expected that it will con-
tinue to be a part of the city's float-
fag indebtedness.
' , :Artotber very important matter de-
‘ cfledwzupon last night by the board
wee the city tax rate. it was finally
Guided to make it seven and one-half
Willi. This tax will cover the appro
"lotions for the various city depart-
meats. No special library tax was
laid, the board, instead. allowing an
appropriation of $2,000 for this do-
parttnent.
Mayor Francis l. ilurnell presided
over the meeting. and all of the mem-
bers of the board were fit attendance,
including Edward it‘. Knapp. ii. A.

it was stated by a railroad labor
authority whose information can be
considered‘rcllabis that the dispute
between the New Haven company and
the Joint committee of conductors and
trainmen has reached such an acute
stage that negotiations between these
interests hare been broken oil. test-
porarily at least. This information
comes, directly from members of both
the trsiutnen and conductors commit-
ee.
The national officers are very reti-
cent as ,to a present situation and
naturally do locate the fact that their
relations with the company should be
anything but harmonious.
The troubles of those two orders, as
has been outlined in his paper, all
hinge on the consolidat n of divisions
by the company. This consolidation
necessarily results in n consolidation
of the rosters compiled by the officials
of each divisbn and shows the senior-
ity of each man in the service and
therefore the neat man up tpr promo-
tion. The question of tunes does not
enter into the argument except per-
haps from the standpoint of the men
near promotion to a better lob undet
the existing meter on their respective
divisions.
Oiilcials of the company do not be-
lieve the matter is serious enough to
cause a strike and the members of the
other railroad labor unions. say the
some thing but that trouble for the
conductors and trainmen is at hand
everybody interested admits.
Of the other active. labor orders the
members oi the firemen's committee
arrived yesterday afternoon. The en
gineef's are here and in consultation
with officers of the company. and the
telegraphers went over to the office
building yesterday afternoon for a talk
with some of the officials they have
been meeting. The operators have.
ho es of settling their grievances some

students spent last night in jail and
the Star Nickel Theatre was thorough—
Iy wrecked as the result of a riot of
students last evening. which lasted
until nearly 1 o'clock this morning.
The moving picture machine and the
theatre piano were broken to pieces.
Trouble started Saturday night in a
dispute between a student named
Kntnm. from Kentuckypand B. Rey-
nolda. proprietor of the theatre. Some
one witistied while the performance
was in progress and Return was or-
dered to leave the. playhouse. He got
up at once to leave. but it. is said that
at the door he slapped hinttuger ltey-
holds in the face. At this point apoc-
tal Policeman Schllmmer. in the term
ploy of the theatre. took Reynolds’
part and is said to have inflicted a
scalp wound on the student by a blow
with his billy.
News of the affair circulated among
the students itlunday and yosterdatt.
with the result that some of the bold-
er spirits among the students planned
to make. repristtls against the theatre
management. Last night it procession
was formed that went through the. ditt~
trlct of the student rooming houses.

ing of the attack as one of the colleg'
iann hurled a brick through a front
window of the theatre. and train that
moment pandemoninm reigned. Win-
dowa not only of the Star Theatre. but
of adjoining buildings were shatters!
by fusiiades of rocks and the students
dually attack the building in "runtt'
formation. and practically tore out the
front. The police were powerless. the
students ieering at the Minors and
nesting their helmets for souvenirs.
and when the fire department was
summoned to drench the crowd with
water. the boys ran away with tilt)
feel of hose. When the hose was
recovered Chairman Millard of the
Board of Fire Commissioners, ordered
the firemen to return to their station.
declaring no one had any right to call
out the firemen for such duty.
. President Allfif'll‘, tilt! resemble head
of the university, vainly pleaded with
the young men and asked them to
disperse. but his words could not be
heard twenty feet away in the turmoil.
A bugle call sounded at the locttl
armory. indicating that the state tull-
itin were preparing to turn out. culm-
ed the rioting students at lust and

pcrse. it was not until i o'clock.
however, that quiet was restored.
Some of the police and several stu.

no serious injuries resulted. it was
reported, however. that the police
averted a tragedy by overpowering
one of the theatre employ-es Just int
he was on.tbc point of dist-barging

Early this morning the police said
that they had not taken any nutues of
the students under arrest.
