Rally Day at congregational Church.

Rally Day at Congregational Church
On Sunday morning rally day
program was presented in the Corgre-
gational church and it was carried
out in manner deserving of much
credit-the songs by the school Chill
dren, recitations and the Instrumental
selections by the orchestra we're all
admirably rendered. The program
was the best ever presented at rally
day observance in Princeton and
much praise has been heard from all
sides.

Hondur.. Report. Not Credited

Washington, January 5.-In view of per sistent press reports of the actual out break of hostilities in Honduras the state department telegraphed American Min ister McCreaery at Tegucigalpa and Con- sul Dawson at Puerto Cortez asking for an outline of the situation. As neither the state nor the navy departments have re- ceived any word of important develop ments from their representatives in the little republic officials here stated they did not credit the reports that the revo- lution was actual under way. The ele- grams of inquiry, 1t was said, was sent by the state department In order to es- tablish officially the exact status of af- fairs in Honduras.
