One Scholarship at
Yale Not Applied For
NEW HAVEN. May 3.—In the an-
nals of educational institutions there
are few scholarships wanting for ap-
plicants. but the Leavenworth scholar-
ship at the Yale university is one of
that number with no special reason
assigned for it except that the Leaven-
worths are growing scarce. There
has been no application made during
the last four years although the news-
papers have carried a number of ad-
vertisements each year. but the
scholarship still continues vacant.
The chief reason given is that no
applicant by the name of Leaven-
worth has made application or com-
plied with regulations which were
laid down by its institution.
The scholarship was established by
the Hon. Elias W. Leavenworth. Yale
B. A. 1824: of Syracuse. N. Y.. on
May 81.1884 with a gift of 85. 000
which was later augmented by the ad-
dition of 87. 000 more. The annual
interest from this sum amounting to
8300 is given to "any student of good
character and promise in good stand-
ing in the academic department of the
college with surname of Leaven-
worth." '

“We do not contemplate starting criminal action against Hart:

a
dent of .the Davis-Pope Company, Incorporated. to a Sentinel reporter,
yesterday, “unless those people disobey the terms of Judge Wolfe’s
injunction and attempt to negotiate the paper given them. This de-
cision has been reached following a conference with our attorneys
Keogh & Gandee on the matter, despite the advice given us by our
New York attorneys that we should secure warrants for the arrest

Derby Election Ballots
Will Be Inspected
DERBY. May 8.—Notincatlon was
received yesterday by City Clerk E.
R. Bergln that ballots cast ’in the
city election last November are to
be inspected by a committee from.
the legislature. This recount is due
because the general Willy is ‘n‘.
vestigating the ballot law and will,
make a. report in which changes 11-.
any are deemed advisable. will be
suggested.
After the"’~last election friends of
William W. Orr of New Haven who
was a candidate for sherii! declared
that there had been errors in the
counting ofthe ballots in some cities
and towns in the county and that mis-
takes had been male? in Derby.
Mr. Davis referred to the charges
made against F. J. Hart of Danbury.
and Joseph Radlaw of Brooklyn.
against whom an injunction was issued
on Tuesday afternoon by Judge Wolfe
restraining them from negotiating four
‘ notes for $1.000 each and three check.
' which totalled 81.000, which notes and.
checks, it was alleged in the writ of
application for the injunction. were
obtained from Mr. Davis. following
threats made to him by Hart. Radlow
and Attorney Hegeman at a confer-
once at the Royal James Hotel on
Monday evening.
At this conference, it was said by
Mr. Davis yesterda‘. he was told that
he and his company had broken con-
tracts both with Hart and with Bad-
low. with reference to the sale of some
stock. and it was said that unless alt
immediate settlement of the breach
contract was made. that the Davis-
Pope‘plant would be attached. “10‘
business of the company by the stat-tn.
tug of a suit for damages of 8160. 900
for breach of contract.
According to Mr. Davis yesterday
most of the "talking" was done by
Attorney Hegcman.‘ who represented
Hart. and Radlpw. :
“It is myaphicn ‘that the entire af- . '
fair was a ‘equeeze play' attempted by
Hart and Radlow. in which Hegeman
figured. and in which Johnson. an ens-5
ploye of Radlow’s was to receive a ’
‘split' on anything in the way or a
monetary settlement that Hart and
Radlow were to receive from me. At
least that is the way the matter looked
to me." Mr. Davis said.
At the conference with Keogh 8:
Candee yesterday. Mr. Davis said that
the local attorneys said that they were
averse to starting any criminal action
while civil action was pending. as the
two would coincide and it might seem
civil action was being contemplated.
However. the criminal action may yet
be resorted to. Mr. Davis said. “unless
the others behave themselves."
The intimation that criminal action
against Hart, Radlow. Johnson and.
Hegeman has been suggested lends a
serious air.to the case which caused
quite some comment when it was car-
ried in the papers yesterday.
It is said by many however. in be-
half of Prosecutor Hegeman. that he
had done nothing more than any law-
yer would have done in representing
his clients in informing M‘r. Davis that.
unless a settlement were made out of
court of the alleged breaches of con-
tract with Hart and Radlow. that suit
would be instituted to recover dam-
ages.
The writ of application for the inn
junction. however charged the defend-
ants with conspiracy to obtain the
money.
A brief resume of the case shows
that Hart at: one time was engaged.
verbally by Davis to sell stock of the
DavipPopa company. He proved to
be unsatisfactory and an agreement
was entered into with Radlow. who D
descrihad by Davis as being a profes-
sional stock salesman. hat the lam
should have the exclus%e handling a!
stock for a period of th rty days. This ‘
Lwas explained to Hart. and be evident-
ly agreed to it while Radlow. it is
claimed. said that he did not object to
Hart continuing in his efforts to in
stock. providing he did not bother 11K .

Hart came to the ofllce of the Dayb-
