RADIGAL GHANGES ANNOUNCED AT YALE In the Elective System of Study in the Academic Dopu-hnent. % New Haven, Jan. 19—Radical chang- s in the elective system of study in the academic department at Yale.were annoumced at the university today. The announcement of the revision whieh is to go into effect at the De- ginning of the next college year takes the form of the adoption by the f: ul(y of the academic department of report presented by a committee of flve nf their number, who have been considering the subject during the past two years. This committee consisted of Prof. E. 8. Dana and Clive Day, assistant Professors C. B. Tinjer and F. R. Rogers, and Mr. C. W. Mendell. The system which it is proposed to re. vise has, with odificdtions, been in operation in the ‘college for about twenty-five years. In freshman year physics ‘is to be added to the list of lubjec!s as it is now aceepted for admigsion to the col lege. In freshman year a group sys tem is adopted, one group emphasiz- ing language and literature, a second group em; zing science and a third group for those who are preparing for a third division of elective studies, or whose special interests are not yet definitely determined. Inside of the various groups there a system of required studies. In sophomore year the same general plan is adopted. In junior and senior year each stu- dent will be required to complete a course in one subject and a minor course in a related subject, aggregat- ing together not less than twelve nor more fifteen hours of the thirty hours of study for the two years. The majors and related minors are to be definitely laild out as to subjects and courses o far as practicable. The causes of this radical change of the old elective system has been along with miner defects, which have devel- ped in it the, imability to eradicate ‘snap” co and lack of standard- isation ot marks in the various courses owing to divergemees of marking - of individual instructors. The dean of the academic department, Prof. F. S. Jones, in his annual report, gave a vivid {llustration of this last defect by pointing out in tabluated form courses in which fhe average marks were extremely high, while in others they were extremely low. It has been owing to his influence largely that the new plan has been adopted. It will go into operation at the begin- ning of the coming college year, 1911- 13, though the groups must be chosen by the various classes during the com- ing spring. The new plan follows in a general way the present scheme of stady in the scientific school ef the university. ’ QENERAL FIRMIN AN EXILE. Arvival of Haytian Minister at San c Juan, Porto Rico. San Juan, mw Rico, Jan. 19.—Gen- eral Firmin, who has been practically exiled by the Haytian government be- cause he left his post as minister at London without authority, arrived here last night.

TO DISMISS THE CASE PROMPTLY OVERRULED. ; 200 WITNESSES SUMMONED By the Defense, But Not All Will Be Put On—Prisoner to Take Standein Own Behalf. ‘Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 19.—With the state completing the presentation of its evidence today in the prosecution of Mrs., Laura Farnsworth Schenk, with poisoning her husband, John O. Schenk, the defense this after- noon began to call its witnesses, but not_before Mrs. Schenk's attorney, S. 0. Boyce, had moved to strike out all of the state’s evidence and diemiss the | case.. Wouid Have Allowed Schenk to Tes- < tify. Judge Jordan promptly overruled the motion, declaring “that had the state called Mr. Schenk to testify against his wife he would have allowed the testi- mony. A state law specifically forbids the introduction of a husband’s testimony against the wife, or vice versa, except by the other’s consent. *I would have admitted John Schen! evidence irrespective of the statute,” Judge Jordan said. “If a man assaulted his wife and there were no withesses it would be monstgous. if she ocould not testify against him. In this case the alleged offense was committed on Schenk. And I certalnly would have adjudged him a- competent wit- ness. Conspiracy Evidence Ruled Out. J. J. H. O’Brien, chief counsel for the accused, had announced that he would put on every physician and druggist in the city In an attempt to show that Mrs, Schenk had not bought arsenic from any of them. This line was stopped, however, Prosecutor Hand- lan’s objections belng sustained. The attempt of the defense to put in evi- dence the affidavit of Alice Thomas, secretary of a Pittsburg detective agency, seeking to bring out conspiracy w:mzt the aoccused, was also ruled ou What the Stste Has Shown. In presenting the case to the jury when the state closed, Mr. Handlan declared that the state has shown that Schenk wes In good health upon his| return from Europe; that the state has shown by competent physicians that the husband was suffering both from lead and arsenic poisoning, and that analysis of mineral water and mediciries he took contained arsenic and su of lead; that Mrs. Schenk was indifferent to her husband, ferring another man, and had predlcted ‘his death, speaking of the kind of fu- neral he would have; that the accused offered a detective nurse $1,000 to ad- minister poison to.John Schenk; that ghe had been indiscreet with another man, as testified to by her chauffeur, and- that she had -proeured sugar of lear from Dr, J. W. Myers, asking him also for a form of arsenic. “These points have been clearly set out,” declared the state’s attorney.“and upon them the state bases its demand for a conviction.” Motion to Dismiss the Case. It was at this point that Attorney Boyce made his motion to dismids the case, asserting that the phyloians® tes- timony was conflicting, some claiming lead and others arseni¢ polsoning, and that their information was based on what Schenk had told them. He sald that the defense had object- ed to the questions in relation to the things said by Schemk, as under the statutes of West Virginia the wife cannot testify against the husband nor the husband against the wife, and for that reason no other person could testify as to what had been told them by Schenk.

NO IMPORTANT CRANGE IN ALBANV SITUATION. Sheehan Loses Two Vous and Lacks Twelve of Election. Albany, N. Jan. 19.—The fact that at least thirty senators and assembly- men will not attend the joint sesslons on Friday and Saturday makes it prac- tically certain that the deadlock over the election of a United States senator will stay unbroken at least until next week. To enable these members to ook after urgent bdusiness at home, eight “pairs” were arranged in the a sembly today and seven in the senate. This plan- will leave the situation so far as attendance and the majority Tequired for a choice is concerned, practically unchangeéd, but the under- standing is that no attempt to elect & compromise candidate will be e during the absence of so many mem- ‘ors. Th seecond joint ballot taken at noon today brought no important change in the situation. The most significant development was the entrance of more democratic candidates, and now field numbers eight. The candidates and their votes today were: ‘William F. Sheehan 88, Edward MM, Shepard 13, Alton B. Parker 7, Martin ‘W. Littleton 2, James W. Gerard 2, D. Cady Herrick 2, John W. Kernan'2, Morgan' J. O’Brien 1. Kernan and O’Brien are the new ones. Sheehan lost two votes ffoin the first ballot and lacked 12 of election. To find precedents for the methods adopted teday, the leaders looked back pig. 1o the republican deadlock in 1881, which followed the resignation of Senator Roscoe Conklin and Thomas C. Platt, and resulted nearly five| months jater in the election of War- | ner Miiler and Elbridge G.

This will hold a 1najority of the members here until Saturday afternoon and require their return in time for a noon session on. Monday.

In the house the postoffice appropriation bill was the vehicle which carried ar- guments for another against the fortification of the Panama canal Representative Richardson of Alabama took the affirmative side of the ques- tion and Representative Keifer the negative. An almost equal distribu- tion of applause indicated that there will be a sharp contest in the house before the disposal of the question.
