Shakespeare Tercentenary

Shakespeare Tercentenary
Celebrated.
The entertainment given at the Col
lege Thursday evening, celebrating
the tercentenary of the passing of
Shakespeare was both a pretentious
performance, and an artistic achieve
ment. The music, dancing and fine
acting was fully appreciated and the
honors were well divided among the
participants. The varied program and
scenes chosen offered excellent oppor-
tunity for the display Of dramatic pow
ers. resulting in most superior per-
fornInce.
The opening songs by the Glee club
were well chosen and rendered and
the address by Miss Phanetta Frank
enfield was of much interest. Miss
Frankenfield told how much Shakes
peare meant to the world and in CON
clusion outlined the program which
followed.
The scenes from Twelfth Night Ro-
meo and Juliet Hamlet and the Mer-
chant of Venice We're all brilliant ex-
hibitions of acting and each student
interpreted her part well. The pretty
dances between the acts We're exqui-
sitely executed and relieved the heayi-
ness of the program.

SENATE LEADERS

Washington, Nay g.. Some Of the
more powerful Democratic Senate lead
ers prefer no legislation at all on the

bill, passed last night by the House
over the Administration protest. The
action Of the House surprises them.
They had expected, in view Of the
alarming developments AZ the Demo-
cratic caucus. that perhaps the Clarke
amendment might be seriously amend
ed, but it was not suspected that the
whole idea would be wiped out and the
vague words OF the old Jones preamble
substituted.
Senator Clarke, vho proposed the
two 70 four-years amendment which
has caused so much comment, and
which aroused so much opposition IN
the House, would prefer no mention
OF independence az all 70 the language
of the Jones amendment. lie regards
it as a vague shifting Of the response

which will have its own troubles.

EPISCOPAL PENSION
FUND GETS 100000
Bishop Hopes to Raise $1,000
600 by Next March.

Two millions Of the $4,000, 900 which
the Episcopal Church pension fund
hopes TO raise for the relief OF its aged
clergy has already been pledged. This
has been accomplished in two months.
The campaign will continue until
March OF next year. when Bishop
Lawrence. Of Massachusetts. head ~
the fund, is sure the required amount
will have been obtained
In every diocese of the United States
hearty support has been given this
movement. Each diocese has its own
committee, and these are all RESPONSE
BILE to the national committee, which
has Offices at Il Wall Street.
The plan provides that every clergy
man shall be eligible for retirement
at tho age of sixty-eight upon a mini
mum life annuity Of $500 a year. The
full amount paid each man will be
determined by taking - per cent OF
his average salary and multiplying it
by his years OF service. No annuity
will total more than 90 per cent Of
the average annual salary, and none
will be for less than $500. There are
III ministers in the Church to-day who
will be eligible TO retire from active
service as soon as the fund begins
operations.

Bombs made BY Lieutenant Robert
Fay, Of the German secret service. in
his Wcehawktn workshop were power
full enough TO destroy the largest
dreadnought ahoat, Lieutenant Robert
Glassburn, L. s. A., testified yesterday
a the trial Of the three Germans
charged with conspiring TO blow up
ship. carrying munitions TO the Allies.
When the cross-eJaminstion Of Lieu
tenant Glassburn, which was conducted
BIZ Lieutenant Fay was finished the
government rested its case. This morn
ing counsel for the three will make the
usual motions to dismiss. and after
Judge Howe, If the expectations OF
those who have followed the trial arc
fulfilled. denies the motions, the de-
fence will be put in, and some time this
week the case will go 10 the jury.
May Make No Defence.
Ex-Judce Henry l.. Unger, counsel
for Fay, said last night that probably
no defence would be put in. He said
that many fine questions Of law had
been raised during the case. and ihti-
mated that the defence might rest on
the technicalities.
The first expert called yesterday By
the government was Horace A. Bouch-
err, formerly a draughtsman in the Navy
DEPARTMENT. With Boucher on the
stand Assistant United States District
Attorney Knox introduced in evidence
a model of the stern OF snip with one
Of Fav's bombs attached. The witness
said that the bomb was so placed that
it would blow to pieces the stern of the
ship.
Fav Jumped up when the government
ended its examination of the witness
and said:
unable 10 obtain an expert 70 refute or
question this witness. May ask him
a few uuestions?'
Judge Howe asscnted and Fay
brought out by his ss-eXamination
of the witness that only 40 per cent Of
vessels have sterns similar 10 the
model. Then Fay read numerous news
paper articles to the jury to show that
ships which had broken their rudders
and stern posts, as the witness testified
would have surely resulted from an
explosion Of Fay's bomb, had come safe
ly into port.
Fay Examines Expert.
II was not until Lieutenant Glass

of the Secret Service, appeared that
FAY again turned cross-examiner. Lieu
tenant Glassburn, an expert on explo-
sives. testified that Fay's bombs were
capable Of holding ninety pounds Of

States government mines contain. The
explosive. he testified, was the most
powerful known.

that Fay and his associates were en-
gagged in perfecting an invention they
