minor role. made the most of 1t and,
in the opinion of the best part OF the
large audience present, usurped the
first place. He got laugh at every
entrance even when the scene was
tragic.
The play was sequel to the we'll
known Three Weeks and followed
the risque example set by its pre-
deoessor. AS a result, the manner of
filling the roles became the chief
item of interest, and in this the com
pany displayed exceptional ability
Miss Lenette as Alice was good

was excellent and Earle Richie
played the Williams role with his

eAVEL OF MORRILL, MAPLE
Presented to Association of American
Agricultural Colleges.

An interesting episode in the open
ing exercises of the convention of the
Association OF American Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations al
Washington, d. c., yesterday was the
presentation of gavel made from the
wood OF a sugar maple tree planted
many years ago on his lawn at Stat
ford by the late Senator Justin S.
Morrill, This gayel was made from
a limb of the tree which was wrested
apart in a storm in September, 1915,
the wood being selected by Dean J.
w. Votey of the College of Engineer
ing of the University of Vermont The
gavel was shaped in the college shops
and suitably inscribed as to its origin.
1t was presented in behalf OF the Uni
versity of Vermont by Dean ]. L. Hills
who for the last twelve years has
been secretary-treasurer of the as
sociation 1t will be remembered
that Senator Morrill, was the father
of the state universities and land
grant colleges of the country. and
that the original enactment in 1862
which founded these institutions was
the product Of his brain, and on every
state college campus the country
over his name is honored. 1t is cer-
tainly very fitting that this central
organization should possess this his
torical gavel.

Wages.

New York, Nov. 15.-Suits filed by
railroads against the federal govern
ment to test the constitutionality of
the Adamson railway wage law are ex
pected to result in the Interpretation
of the statute if it be upheld the rail
road managers comprising the nation
al conference committee of railways
announced in a statement here to-
night.
Suits designed to test the validity
of the law to restrain the government
from putting it into effect were filed
in New York today by the New York
Central and Erie railroads. The New
Haven will file suits tomorrow
Hearings will begin in New York
December 2, according ton an order
by Judge julius NJ. Mayer, issued to-
night directing the defendants to ap-
pear December and show cause why
temporary injustiton should not be
granted.
The principal contention, according
to Albert II. Harris, general council
for the New York Central, is that the
Adamson law is in no sense regu-
lation of commerce, but a temporary
and abitrary increase in wages for
the brotherhood men,"
Similar suits are to be brought

road in the country, each in the fed
eral districts it traverses, according
to Elisha Lee, children of the confer
