tions to determine If large sums of money
were contributed to Penrose's campaign
fund by corporations and liquor dealers.
Senator Norris viii ask that the Norris
resolution be favorably reported to the
Senate when Congress convenes in De-
cember.
Republicans of the old school are con-
fident, however, that the Pennsylvania
Senator will have no difficulty disproving
the charges that "slush fund" was
raised TO be used in his campaign for
reelection. The charges made by E. A.
Van Valkenburg, of the Philadelphia
North American, will undoubtedly figure
in the Senate Investigation.
President Wilson, 1t is said, will not
convene Congress In extraordinary ses-

believe that the conservation measures of
the Administrations legislative program

TOBE AND THE ROPE
By CHARLES H. MANDY

The statement has been made that every one is more or less superstitious. Of course. this trait is more pronounced in some people than in others In fact, some are superstitious to the extent of being foolishly so. Sailors are noted for their particular superstitions, confined. how ever, to matters pertaining to their call- ing. Gamblers. as a rule, are very su- perstitious, and carefully refrain from do- ing anything that is termed unlucky, but at tine same time will do other things to bring them luck. But no class of peo- pie are as superstitious as the southern negro. especially along the lines of .hants'' and graveyards.
 The other day an elderly darkey em- ployed around the courthouse as an of flee cleaner exemplified this trait of the negroes. When the new addition to the courthouse was erected there was a re- arrangement of the several offices and to the clerk of the circuit court was as signed the rooms formerly occupied by the sheriff. The negro, whose name was Tobe, mad as a part of his duty the of these rooms. He had mo- tieed coil of rope laying in one of the corners and needing just such rope for his well, asked Jim Merrill if he could have it.
 Jim went with the negro to where the rope was located and immediately gave his consent and Tobe began coiling it Up with much satisfaction. As he completed his job he remarked:

STUDENTS
 HOLD TAP DAY

New Haven, Conn.,, May 14.-'Tap Day. one of the biggest events in Yale under graduate life. when juniors are selected for membership in the senior societies, was robbed of much of its picturesque ness today. The historic ceremony, in- stead of being held under an ancient oak on the old campus, vas transferred to the more secluded Berkeley oval, which had been fenced in to keep out all those not invited. This was because of the two years agitation against certain phases of the society system, one of the objections being that the affair was too public.
 What is considered one of the greatest undergraduate honors-that of being the last man tapped' for skull and bones went this year to Thomas B. Denegre of New Orleans. captain of the crew.
