THE SHAKESPEARE CELE-
 BRATION IN THE SCHOOLS

Nearly 2,000 schools, representing half as many separate communities, have already arranged for a pageant or dramatic performance in commem- oration of the 300th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, according to fig ures compiled by the Bureau of Edu- cation of the Department of the h. terior. Although the actual anniver- sary occurs in April, 1916, celebra- tions are to be held throughout the year Many elementary and second ary schools will this year devote their entire commencement program to a Shakespeare pageant or play; and a number of the summer schools will take advantage of the opportunity to give outdoor performances of plays by Shakespeare or about him.
 In order to assist schools and col leges in planning celebrations, the Blu reau of Education, in cooperation with the Drama League of America, has issued bulletin giving practical sug gestions as to kinds of celebrations, type performances, lists of dances, and designs for simple costuming for Shakespearian plays. The Bureau has distributed copies of this bulletin to all city school superintendents, to principals of public and private and secondary schools, presidents of col leges. normal schools, and other in. stitutions, and arrangements have been made to furnish copies at nom inal cost to school teachers and pu- pills.
 The bulletin emphasizes the special opportunity afforded by the Shakes peare Tercentenary to coordinate the school work in literature, music, and art with such practical subjects as shopwork and physical education Merely as a matter of educational policy" declares the bulletin, "there is urgent need for the influence which the Shakespearean festivals will exert in the schools. These festivals are needed to give new tone and quality to the literary, musical, dramatic and recreational interests of young peo- ple-and, indeed, of the public gener- ally"

ARMED ITALIAN SHIP ARRIVES

New York, April 9,-The Italian steamship Giuseppe Verdi, with nearly 1,700 passengers, arrived here tonight from Palermo and Naples after an uneventful voyage. She carried two guns mounted on her after deck. The passage through the Mediterranean was made at night to avoid the menace of submarines. Most of the passengers were reservists returning to this coun- try after reporting for service in the Italian army and being excused be- cause they were over age or married,
 There were only five passengers in the first cabin.

CONGRt $ SPEEDING
 UP ON LEGISLATICN
Cutting Down Oratory- Ten Minutes Limit Per Senator Per Bill or Amendment is Agreed to by Congress.

Washington, April 9.-Administra- tion leaders in Congress are exerting unusual efforts to expedite legislation with a view to an adjournment early in the summer, and they are meeting with cooperation on the part of the minority.
 On Saturday unanimous consent agreements were reached for a vote on the army reorganization bill April IS, and free sugar repeal resolution April II, and the legislative appro- priation bill was passed, all within two hours.
 i Tomorrow the Senate will debate the free sugar repeal issue, Senator Simmons, chairman of the Finance Committee, having given notice that he will call up the Senate amendment to the repeal resolution which passed the house several weeks ago. Senator Simmons says action is imperative. because the free sugar clause of the tariff will become operative May 1 ] z, ! As soon as the sugar issue is dis posed of in the Senate, debate on the army bill will be resumed. When the agreement for a vote was reached, utes to each senator, several senators remarked they had never seen such q demonstration of the actual cloture sentiment. Early in the session the Democrats sought to adopt a general cloture rule, but abandoned the effort.
 Sidetrack Fertilization Bill.
 House leaders today announced that they have decided to sidetrac1 the for tifcation measure for the present and dispose of other business. Immedi- ately following passage of the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, which is expected Tuesday, the agricultural measure will be taken up. It will be followed by the diplomatic and con- sular and district bills in the order named. The diplomatic bill carries large increases over last year, due in part to advances caused by the high cost of living in foreign countries and is expected to cause extended argu- ments.
 United States Attorney Marshall of New York will appear before select committee of the house tomorrow to testify in the contempt proceedings growing out of his criticism of the subcommittee Investigating the inn ipeachment charges against him.

BUYS ARKANSAS TRACT.
Frank G. Barton Purchases Land
 From Ben Parker.

Frank G Barton of Memphis, we'll known cotton broker, has purchased from Ben Parker 995 acres of Crit tenden county land two miles iron, Earle, for about S60,0O0. About half the tract is in cultivation, the other half in timber. which Mr. Barton will clear and bring under cultivation as rapidly as it can be developed. Ex- perts say there is no better soil in the county.
 MT. Barton said he bought it as an investment, and that he considered such Crittenden county properties the best of current investment on account of the remarkable improvements being made all over Crittenden.
 MT. Barton already owns a 1000 acre tract in the Mound City section 10 miles from Memphis. He is a native of Crittenden and for six years was sheriff of the county. Later his brother, Louis Barton, served as sheriff.
 Another important land development at Earle is the investment of $5O,0OC by William English in improving a 4,O0O-acre tract near town. MT. En- glish came from Petrolia, Canada, and invested largely in Crittenden, being one of the heaviest land owners of the county. He is disposing of about $100000 of stumpage near Hawkins vile, Ga, and will concentrate all his interests in Crittenden, where his 4,00C acre tract is to be cleared and divided into smaller tracts.

Gonzales offers a prize of $1 ,000 to the planter in each township under his jurisdiction, which includes six states, for the best planted field.
