Mrs, Elizabeth Fellows, widow of former District Attorney John R. Fel- lows, was burned to death when her clothing caught fire from a gas stove in her home at No. 617 West One Hun- dred and Forty-sixth’Street thie after- noon. She was alone in the house at the time and was dead before help arrived. Several men working on a new building on Riverside Drive a few feet | west of the Fellows home saw smoke | pouring from a window in the rear. Patrolman Roach climbed through a window and ran to the kitchen in the rear. Mrs, Fellows’s charred body was on the floor, the fire had not spread and was out, and on the stove @ pot of tea was simmering. It was learned later from relatives | that Mrs. Fellows had been ill re- cently and it {8 thought she was suddenly overcome while making the tea and fell across the stove.

Through the arrest to-day of Emanuel Jackson, No, 1462 Fifty- third Street, Brooklyn, and Benjamin Alexander, No. 548 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, who, under the firm name of Jackson & Alexander, have a stall at No, 35 Broad Street, Man- hattan, where they sell stamps and coins, Inspector Faurot hopes to as- certain the leak whereby the State of New York has been swindled out of about $1,000,000 on the sale of stock transfer stamps. Half a d-zen clerks from various brokerage firms have been examined before Magistrate McAdoo, From what they told the Magistrate it seems that It has been possible to obtain stock transfer stamps at from 10 to 15 per cent. below their face value, by giving United States postage stamps in ex- change. It has not yet been discov- ered whether the stock transfer stamps are forged, whether they were stolen from the Comptroller's office, or how the dealers obtained them, More ar- rests are expected. Deputy State Comptroller William Boardman said this afternoon: “These frauds have been going on four or five years. Apparently many of the stamps are imperfect ones which ar ted by the Comptroller and sup: posed to have been destroyed,” $1: rd Men’ V's Blue Serge Suits,$5.95 Clothing Corner, Broad- | rl Barela, Str t | Weogeetu BUILOING) wih oii to-day and Satur eee en’ Re al | Blue Serge Suits, all ‘wool, ‘olor aranteed; also Worsted ‘and Cheviots, | m penell stripes, gray: wns, tartan Mecha, blacks and tnteturee alt asec at to 44: worth $12 In any other store: our gpecin} rice y and Raturday. om pen urday evening e HI Broadway, corner Barclay MRS, PELL IN HER SUIT FOR $250,000 Widow of Victim of Long Isl- and Railroad Accident Will Not Appeal.

Laimbeer and a chauffeur when his automobile was struck by a Long Island electric train at Wreck Lead Crossing, nea: Long Beach, was awarded damages of $25,000 to-day. She sued originally in the Queens County Supreme Cour Long Island City, for $250,000, The case was given to the jury yesterday afternoon. The jurors reached an agreement at 11 o'clock last night and left a sealed verdict for Justice As- | pinall, who opened and read it at the opening of court to-day. Mr. Van Wyck asked Mra, Pelt if] sho was content to let the verdict stand and after some hesitation and consultation with Mrs, Laimbeer she said she did not feel disposed to fight | the matter any further, Mr, Van Wyck then signified his in- tention of accepting the verdict by asking the court to order the railroad company to pay him 6 per cent, of the! amount of the verdict as a fee. This| procedure is common in damage cases and Justice Aspinall said he would make an order requiring the Long Island Railroad Company to pay $1,250 as fee to Mrs. Pell’s counsel. This| makes the total verdict in Mrs. Pell's sult $26,500, “I think the verdict was inade- quate,"said Mrs, Pell to an Evening| World reporter, “but I feel I could not | go through the strain of another trial and I am forced to accept tt, all, it was not the money I wanted so much as a vindication of my hua- band's memory.

NEW LONDON, June %.—Yale University oarsmen opened the annual intervarsity regatta here to-day by winning the junior varsity jeht- oared two-mile race from Harvard by three-fourths of a length, the official times being: Yale, 10.40; Harvard, 10.43. ‘The freshman eight contest, the second event on the programme, was Postponed until Inte this afternoon, the referes deciding that-the water was too rough for the first year crews. There was scarcely a ripple on the Thames when the junior eights lined up at the navy yard for the first event of the day, Promptly at 10.50 o'clock the referee's pistol flashed and the two eights drove their oars into the water and the Yale shell poked its nose into the lead, never to be headed. Of the two crews Harvard showed better form and watermanship, but failed to get the same power in the stroke that the Elis secured with their more irregular style, Yale, rowing 40 Mat | strokes to Hatvars's 39, jumped the Cambridge juniors at the start Less than half a length separated the prows of the two shells at the mile and a half flags, and here the Crimson Juniors made their bid for victory. Raising their stroke to 36, they cut down Yale's lead to a quai ter length, but the Eli's answered with an equal beat, and in the spurt picked up an additional half length although Harvard finished three beats to the minute faster at 39 than the victors. In the New Haven shell Stroke Adams and Munson at No. 3 were temporarily out of commission, but soon recovered. The varsity eight race was post- poned until 6.30 o'clock because of strong wind and rough water. pees A Label HAMILTON RESULTS.

Schiffer “Her Protector.” CRIES A LITTLE TO-DAY. Mrs. Robertson in Court for First Time Since Her Suit Was Begun. Although good olf Plato is where he will not appreciate it, Miss Mina Tempest, heroine of the one-minute soul kise seances, to-day added ma- terially to the collection of Platonic terms when ehe told a jury in Justice Court how for eighteen years Gay L. Schiffer, wealthy young cotton broker, had been er “protector.” Miss Tempest resumed the stand to defend herself against the charge that sho had stolen the affections of Edward F. Robertson, young million- aire importer, who 1a belng sued for divorce by Mrs. Laurien F. Robertson of No, 200 West Fifty-eighth Street. Dressed in a filmy creation of blue silk and a black straw sailor hat, the brim of which almost concealed her features from the jury, Miss Tempest did not show the effect of the ordeal through which she passed yesterday when doctors observed her. She cried once to-day. That was when she [told of her friendship for young Schiffer, who, seated in the rear of the court room, eagerly drank in every word of her testimony. Schiffer and Robertson are good friends. They met Miss Tempest at the same time at the Saratoga race |track. The fact that they were tn- separable friends, Miss Tempest de- clared, was a clear indicath that she had never been affectionate toward Robertson, the latter always living up to that code among gentlemen which bars (sometimes) a friend from being attentive to his friend's flance. Mrs. Robertson, who came te court for the first time and concealed her face under a pepper and salt veil, supressed a laugh when she heard Miss Tempest testify, Others not so conalderate of court decorum laughed aloud and the bailiff rapped for ordor “Do you know Mr, Gay L. Schiffer?” asked Attorney Max Steuer, who Is defending Robertson, “I do, very well,” replied Mias Tem- pest, “In addition to being my part- ner in the lingerie and gown business, he !s a good friend—a very good friend.” Q, What ta Schiffer to you. A. My protector. Q. What do you mean by that? Miss Tempest raised a@ tiny allk handkerchief to her eyes, hesltated an instant and looking at the jury said: “Why, I moet him eighteen yea ago, Mr. Steuer. We grew very fond of each other, I may say that I be- lieve he was as fond of me as I was of him, That fondness exists to-day But, you see, there have always been certain obstacles in the way of our marrying. My health prevented it, otherwise there would have been a marriage. Q. And in the capacity of protect- or what has Mr. Schiffer done for you?
