Alfred Noble, I.hanj Randolph, a ad Frederick B. Stevens, America. Tot the last three days the board haa been voting on several different propositions, all subsidiary to the- great question. These votes disclosed a wide variation In opinion on the minor points sa well as a divergence on the main subject. It has been understood for some time that the foreigner on the board were In favor of a canal at sea level, and it was reported that the Americans were equally united In favoring lock construe-tka.

It Is apparent now, however, that something occurred to change the mind of some of the Americana. den. Oeorg W. Davis, who. Is Chairman of (he board, refused absolutely this afternoon: to discuss In any-manner the report that the decision was in favor of sea lavel construction.

Ha said that at i of the early meeting of the board a reolion ha been adopted provMMg that nothing" suuld be aald about the deliberation or conclusions of the board by any of It members. The report la to made to the President, and It would be extremely discourteous to him for any of the member to tell anything of what had ben done to any one but him. The Oeneral admitted, however, that the board hatf finished Its work so far as voting was concerned, and said that there remained of Its work only the formulation of the conclusion. Thl would occupy several day, but the foreign members expected to get away within ten days, and some of them had already engaged their teamer accommodation for the homeward Journey. While on the broad proposition of sea level or lock there was a decided majority, and the question would, seem to have been settled as fur as the board is concerned, the decision in fact will probably only add to the complications.

PTTTSBUKO. Not. having re-te4 th progress of th $20,000,000 addition to the great steel plant of th Jones Company on the South Bid for mora than six months, Mrs. Sarah Lot who stubbornly refused to part with her home, found It taken from her by fore this afternoon. In open defiance of the law, the steal company sent 1.000 workmen to the noma the widow during her absence, overpowered three dogs which had been left on guard, and within half an hour had torn down the stockade which bad been built around the house and had literally carried bouse and furnishings off the premises.

Then great steel girder nfi tons of stone were placed on th ground, which wUl soon be a part of th Jones Laughlln plant. The new addition of the steel plant e-tends along- Sidney Street from Twenty-fourth to Thirty-fourth Streets. The company bought all the property along the street, but when It came to Mrs. Lot It met with unexpected opposition. She is a little German woman, whose two children are married, and whose husband ha been drad for a number of years.

6b positively refused to sell. Fifty years ago her husband had taken her to the house as his bride, and there ahe reared her children and there her husband died. Before be died he told, her never to sell the old homestead, for bad luck would com to her If she did. Her son and her daughter advised her to sell to the steel company, but refused. Then the company tried 1 fore her out by building all around her, but only built a stockade around her two-story frame house and secured three dogs.

The company appealed to the courts, but could get no relief. Then it offered Mrs. Lot a bonus of I10.UA,. but It might as well hav talked to a sphinx. Thl morning an agent for the company served notice on Mrs.

Lot that the house, would be torn down. The 'widow summoned her brother-in-law, Charles Lot. and, leaving him and the dogs 3n guard, she i.urrlcd to the Court House to seek an injunction, but she was too late, for the coart had No sooner had she departed from her home than Charles Lot was aniked off the property. He was arrested for trespass on th steel company's property and was locked, up. Then the dogs were overpowered and th workmen pulled down the house.

Representatives of the' steel' company say that It acted on. the advice of Its attorneys. The company has possession now and will probably retain It-during the years in which th case 1 fought through th court. I The widow, sobbing plteously, remained about th rum of iter homa all the afternoon, and late to-night had to be taken by force to the home of her son. 33 LOST WITH TORPEDO BOAT.

TOOKER'S GREAT FIELD GOAL Tlgtr Right End Drop Kicks from tho 43-Yard Lin Scor Waa 23 to 4.

Social I 7V A'nr York Timet. NEW, HAVEN. Nov. won a magnificent victory over Princeton thl afternoon on Tal Field In th prea-enc of over 2Z00O people by a scor of 20 to 4. Told by the figures.

It would seem to hav been a one-aided contest about which ther was no doubt from th start. On the contrary, Princeton took almost as much glory from th game as th victors and played as plucky and splendid a gam a me Tiger hav ever shown In thetr history. They were beaten by Tale' superior speed, her superior physical equip ment, and her better condition. Whll their atrength lasted the Tiger made a game fight, and when defeat waa inevitable, almost overwhelming, she roo on pure courage and fought the Blue to the 10-yard line. Then having her last chance seemingly fade, she snatched laurels for herself in the closing plays of the game by a combination of headwork and skill that well merited the plaudits that rewarded her.

She scored by a remarkable goal from the field, perhaps as re markable a goal as haa ever been seen In the East, and left the field honored by every one of those who had watched her xealovs struggle. i It Was an ideal football day for the spectator, but too warm for inspiriting play. Yet there ha seldom been seen more spectacular runs tackles, kicks, and To Tale wenf the main honors, for in Individual brilliancy her men outdid themselves. Hutchinson -was the Blue's hero by reason of a magnificent run of TO yasd after -catching a puat and another of 35 yards. The first was the longer, more spectacular, in the course of it he "hurdled" one tackier, evaded and dodged three others, and was finally brought Jow.by two backs that ram at him from either std and left him no escape.

played a splendid game an made -two long runs, besides kicking finely. Bigclow was th gainer In most of Yale's line plunging attacks. and was th real power in her offense. Th right aide of Tale Itne And both her ends played finely. There waa a crowd of some twelv hun- dred Princeton student In the cheering section a on the Tigers' side of the field.

At th end of the game the all remained in their place nd. rising, sang the hymn of 'Old' Nassau, and leader Inflection' that waa most, of fecllngl Jn ot" her Jomfioaudnoti the. field, slopped her band and. gathering In front of the assembled crowd, watted for the ending fbe hymn and then gate them such' a cheer seldom' heard frcm rival fathering. 11 waa a fitting recognition of the wonderful spirit that enabled Princeton to make th showing she did.

The gam was not one-sided. During the first half Yale, starting off with a rush, scored In eighteen minutes. But Princeton cam bark, and plowing through Yale' right aide three time carried th ball within the danger line. But she lacked the Intrinsic strength to take It across the line. During the Intermission there were some who thought the Tiger had a chance to hold Yale, and with luck tie the score.

Bo ahe might have, but luck turned th other way, and gave Yale two touchdowns In the first twenty minutes. For Princeton, the whole backfleld ac quitted Itself most creditably. Dillon While he was in the game made several pretty mm from kicks, evading Tale's fast ends Tenney, who succeeded him, did almost better work. Cooney was all over the field on defense, end was a power on offense, but the line was below Princeton's calibre and no match for Yale. Princeton, however, did all that waa expected of her, held Yale well In check, made a plucky fight, and gained considerable ground through the right side of Yale's line.

Had luck not run against her she would hav achieved a much cloaer result. To Tooker must the main glory go. His goal from the field was superb. Receiving the ball on the forty-three-yard line at a fairly difficult angle, he sighted It carefully. Then, dropping It, he lifted It high In th air, driving It a tremendous distance, and placed It directly between the post and easily twenty yards beyond.

Had this been all he did he would still hav merited first consideration, but he was all over the field and tackling like a fiend, helping the runner and securing the ball on fumbles. Not an opportunity did he miss. Though Hutchinson made both his runs from kicks, on neither hsd the ends a chance to prevent them. Th shorter was mad on a long kick that they could not have followed successfully, while the longer was from a quarter-back kick where Princeton's backs were supposed to get th ball. Both these opportunities that came to Yale were lucky, though she deserves great credit for the way she seised them.

Then sh got a third lucky chance when a kick going Into Yale' territory rebounded back over the Princeton forwards heads and landed In Flanders' arms with no one between him and the goal save the kicker, who could not bring him down till ha had covered twenty yards. The town began filling up at 10 o'clock in th morning when th first of the New York special tnJns pulled In and unloaded a shouting crowd of Princeton undergraduate that came through on th fl o'clock train from New York. Thereafter at Intervals of half an hour more special arrived, each carrying Ita capacity of wildly enthusiastic collegians, all bent on making the moot 'of 'their outing. There waa a rush made for Chapel Street, which was early filled with th crowd, thinking talking. acUng nothing bvt- the great game.

While In excellent spirits, there was no botsterousnea or disorder, and the utmoxt friendly feeling prevailed. When groups of cheering Tigers met Blue sym- pe.thisers courtesies -were exchanged and acknowledged generously. The crowd was late in rekcnlhg the field. At 1.S0 there were comparatively few within the lndoaure, but th stream that set in then swelled to a torrent rap-Idly, and in an Incredibly short time the Cemttn) Pagw aV TO END nnMIWiniw ntcnnncBc wi wi twu ltd Roogevott Belleveg- That Aetlvo Inter-ference Mint Coma Soon, Sftial TU New York Timet. i WASHINGTON.

ODELUTES RAISE RYAN BOGEY Congressman Oleott and Hi Prlendo Still Insist That Mr. Rooaevolt la with, Them and Tell Why. There are larger, more Important, and more decorative object than th scalp of William Halpln Involved lA th struggle now going on between th Flatt and Odell faction for th control of th Republican Committee of th County of New York, no matter which sid Is correct as to th animating motives for th present contest. On of Gov. Odeh's lieutenants made this statement yesterday about the candidacy of Congressman J.

Van Vechten Oleott to succeed Mr. Halpln: i Th explanation of Oleott' candidacy la clear. He comes from the Nineteenth Assembly District, which is controlled by Lemuel E. Qulgg. who Is the legislative representative of Thorna F.

Ryan and th Intercuts which Ryan represents. Ryan, wants to secure control of the Board of Aldermen, and he can't do It as long as Odell and Halpln control the board." This mad the Piatt men laugh. Rubbish." said Senator Piatt, when the statement was called to his attention. Mr. Ryan knows absolutely, nothing about thl movement.

He Is 111 In Washington. rt The charge, however, brought forth an Interesting rejoinder from one of Uie Piatt lieutenants. Why." said. he. the Issue Involved Is so plain that any on who runs ought to be able to read.

Whether or not President Roosevelt reconsiders his Intention not to run again for the Presidency, he certainly wants to be in a position to name the Republican nominee In 1008. If he is to do that, it is essential that he should be able to control the New York State Republican organization. He has never got on well with Odell. and does not trust him politically. Unless the President and his friends are In a position to nam the next Republican candidate for Governor, Odell will remain the State leader and will control the delegation to the next Republican National Convention.

Piatt convinced th President that th scandal affecting Odell. growing out of the Insurance Investigation, threatened the loss of the State to the Republicans, and suggested that th present was a good lm to destroy Odeir power and make sure ef a State administration that would be friendly to the President and through the power of tho State admln-letratMMV inrt-ttrr; RnoseveH'a ifrienda, cohrrol tit to the Republican National Convention. of 1S08. To destroy OdeIVs control of the State machine, the first necessary step Is to get the Republican organisations of New York and Kings Counties away from him. That Is what the present fight between the Piatt and Odell men over the Presidency of the New York County Committee means.

It is 10 to 1 that President Roosevelt and Gov. Hlgglns will be together In the fight, and Jf they are Odell cannot win." The Piatt man quoted then went on to say that It was not supposable that Senator Piatt would have bluntly announoed that President Roosevelt was supporting the movement to oust Halpln unless he had received assurances to effect from the President. Nor was It aupposa-hlc he said, that Congressman Oleott would have announced his candidacy in the terms he did unless he slso had had askurances of Mr. Roosevelt's support. Preeident for Oleott, Piatt Insists.

Senator Piatt's attention wa directed yesterday to the dispatch from Washing-tan which stated that dental had been made at the White House that It was Mr. Rcoeevelt'a intention to take sides In the contest being waged between the Piatt and Odell factions for the control of the city and State organisations. When he waa asked If he stood by his statement that tho President favored the election of Mr. Oleott to succeed Mr. Halpln, he replied: The President Is decidedly In favor of Oleott.

It makes no difference what othtr people may say. That la the fact." "Have you enough to elect Mr. Oleott 1" was asked. Yes. we have votes enough to elect." replied the Senator If we did not have such assurance he would not be a candidate." Did you know that Mr.

OdeU is going to round up the Republican district leaders on Monday! la he? Well. I guess that round-up will flatten out" Do you understsnd that Halpln Is to be the OdeU candidate for the Presidency of the County Committee? From what I heard last night. I Imagine he wlU have some other candidate than Mr. Halpln." What Will Hlgglns Dot How doe Gov. Hlgglns stand In this contest! I don't know.

I have not seen tha Governor yet. but I expect to see him soon. However, I have to get through with the county contest first. Congressman Oicotrs attention was called to the denial from Washington that his eandmacy had been Inspired from the White House. Mr.

Oleott said he had no statement to make on the subject; but be stood by the statement he gave out in announcing his candidacy. In that statement Mn Oleott said that the requests which had come to him to become a can-, didate for the Presidency of the committee had come from Republicans so high in th esteem of the party and the people that he did not feel It right to set up'hla personal preference against their judgment. The statement, taken In con neci on wn der of Nogodoche brought seven mem- that th President favored Mr- Oleott.
