YALE-PRINCETON DEBATE.
THE BIG FORENSIC CONTEST AT WOOLEYH HALL THIS SEVENING.

Will be as Usual an Elaborate Social
 Afair-"state Rightsp Will be Dis
 cussed With Great vigor-Lawyer
 Alexander Bacon selected as the
 Third Judge.
 The big debate with Princeton will occur tonight in Woolsey hall at 8 o'clock. This is the one intercollegiate debate of the year In New Haven and has come to be an elaborate social af- fair. The college society has always attended the debates. and this year a special effort was made by Manager E. R. Embree to accommodate that part of the New Haven public which is most interested in debating viz, the public school teachers, That this eff fort on the part of the management was appreciated is shown by the fact that about 25O teachers in all respond ed to the invitation and applied for tickets. The debate tonight bids fair to be one of the distinctly 'blg' social events of the winter.
 The question is one of general public interest, that of state rights as opposed to federal standardization. The question is: Resolved, That the present dis tribution of power between the state and federal governments is not adapt ed to modern conditions and calls for readjustment in the direction of fur ther centralization.' On this question Yale will uphold the affirmative, which is essentially the position held by Sec retary of State Root in his famous speech on centralization delivered by him in Utica, N. Y., last fall. Secre- tary Roots speech brought the ques- ton directly before the people, and 1t is now one of the live questions of the nation and will probably be settled one way or the other in the very near fu- ture.
 The third judge has just been select ed for the debate. He is Alexander Bacon, of the New York city bar. The other two judges are Dean Ames, of the Harvard Law school, and Frank J., Goodnow, professor of law at Columbia university. All three of the judges are lawyers, and will so be the better able to weigh the arguments on this ques- ton, which involves the broader prin- ciples of law. President Hadley will preside.
 The demand for seats at the debate has far exceeded the supply and there will be no further distribution of tick cts to-day.
 After the contest the Debating asso- citation will give a dinner to the two teams, to the judges and number of invited guests At this dinner Arthur P. McKinstry, who coached the team which debated Harvard at Cambridge last fall, will preside and act as toast master.
 The order of speakers at the debate will be:
 Yale-Robert Ralph Lockwood, '07, of Zelienople, Pa; Roger Benton Hull, '07, of Greenfield, Mass, and Saul German, 0S Law school, of Hartford.
 Princeton-Kenneth H. Lanning, '0S, of Trenton, N. J.; James A. Muller, '0S, of Philadelphia, and Thomas Street Clark, '0S, of Cortland, N. Y.

Senator Butterworth of New Haven, who is a member of the committee from the senate, is in agreement with MT. Hooker in the decision to sustain Gov ernor Woodruff's attitude. There is great deal of feeling in the committee concerning irresponsible private bank CTS in the state. It is claimed that N1o bankers in Hartford alone. The Polish priest from New Britain, where there are 5000 Poles living, was before the committee Wednesday appealing for measures that will, stop the private banking business. He said that the poor Poles of New Britain have been robbed of thousands of dollars by so- called private bankers in that city.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

From the very birth of the American drama there have been Indians upon the stage, but it is extremely doubtful if at any time there has been anything so accurate and satisfying as Theodore Roberts characterization of the Ute chief, Tab-y-wana, in the play, "'rhe Suuaw Man." which comes to the Hy- perion tonight direct from a remark able six months enga cement in New York at Wallack's theater. MT. Rob erts, who will be remembered for his very effective work as Canby, the |ranchowner in Arizona" some years ago, has gone to the absolute limit in his impersonation of this character. He not only looks the part to absolute perfection. but he has gone a step in advance. for every word or line that he delivers upon the stage is spoken in the Ute language. For months prior to the actual beginning of rehearsals of the play, MT. Roberts spent hours with Baco White, the government interpret CT who plays a parallel role in the piece learning work for word and syllable the pIOptI pIOuuIlCldllOII dllQ uCllNSIH OI the lines intrusted to him. The diffi- culties of such task may be imagined when it is stated that the Ute is an un- written language, and has never yet been transferred to paper, until Dr. Roberts dug it out of Baco White. During the New York run a group of Utes, brought from the government reservation by Colonel William F. Cody and en route to France for the Wild West show, were taken to see "The Squaw Man" They were interesting to those connected with the play, chiefly on account of the anxiety as to how they would take the character of Tab y-wana. When it was all over and done with, they were taken back on the stage to MT. Roberts by the interpreter and effectively expressed their approv- al, one after another, by the monosyl- lable expression Good"
 In addition to the language MT. Rob erts has learned the sign language and uses it with considerable facility in playing his part. Taken altogether, it is not saying too much to assert that Tab-y-wana is the best Indian charac- ter on the American stage,

THE BRAND NEW HANS AND
 NIX"

So completely has Gordon and Gil- berts latest comedy Hans and Nix" been changed this season that it might we'll have a new name. Inasmuch as music and dancing constitute about three-fourths of any comedy, to change all of it's music and dancing is equiva- lent to giving a. new piece. Exactly this has been done to Hans and Nix and when the curtain rises upon the we'll known farce comedy at the New Haven theater Good Friday, March 29, at the holiday matinee and at night, the au- dience may be prepared to see some thing that bears but very little recem- blance to last years offering.
 Theatergoers who have seen Gordon and Gilbert in their amusing skit "Hans and Nix" can see it again and go away feeling that they have seen new show nothing but the name of the old one remaining.

New llnven Theatre.

The exploitation of an intensely humorous comedy with plot, has been positively achieved during the present tous of the new musical fantasy, "A Jolly Baron" which will be the attrac- tion at the New Haven theater Oh Mon day. Tuesday, Wednesday, March 25, 26, and 27, and at the matinee Wednesday, and Billy s. Clifford is the clever come dian who is responsible for all the fun making in his musical melange.
 MT. Clifford who, by earnest endeavor, hard work and sincerity has placed himself on the level with the foremost comedians of to-day, is introduced in this piece in a role naturally suited for him, in 1t he artistically depicts the character of Tom Baron, the dude scion of a rich New York stock broker, and Is a strenuous factor in a merry medley of complications, emanating from the duphcity of his fathers junior partner, in which he proves himself to be man and not frivolous boy he is supposed to be.
 The best description of the play was given recently by one of New Yorks prominent critics who called it "a con- glomerate, with a little drama for one, vaudeville for another musical comedy for others and a great desire to please everybody This happy blending coupled with the versatility and pleas ing personality of Mir. Clifford are suf- fcient guarantee as to the genuine mer- it's of the production, with it's tuneful airs, ludicrous situations, elegant cos tunes and superb beauty chorus leaves nothing more to be desired,
 MT. Clifford will also introduce his famous vaudeville speciality, together with his new songs and dances. Reg ular popular prices.
