genuine enthusiasm than any similar
effort, and is an astounding revelation

\ PRIMARY Is NOT AN ELECTION

indianapolis, lnd.-The state supreme
court has upheld the compulsory pri-
mary election law, adopted by the last
legislature, Section 10 of this act
aroused the greatest controversy. In
substance ii provides that where a voter
is challenged he must make affidavit that
he voted more than one-half of the ticket
OF the party at the preceding election
and that he will vote the ticket at the
coming election. The court holds that
primary is not an election in the sense
that the term is used in the constitu-
ton, and that political parties have the
right to control their own primaries
and may bar outsiders"

WORK NECESSARY

Denver.-ln an open letter to Colorado
organized workers, President McLen-

calls on every union man and woman to
act as self-appointed, energetic organ
izer.
"The story of unionism and its benefi-
cent results should not be told so
much in the union halls and at the union
meetings. he says. "The telling is need
ed much more in the streets, in the fac
tories, workshops, mines and on the jobs
where it can reach the ear of the non
union man who attends no meetings.
The union gathering will take care Of
itself. None but union men and union
women are there. They are already
converted. The missionary work must
be done on the outside"

OF the 29,297 admitted last November,
Italy led with 2,467. The stoppage of
eastern European immigration because
of the war is shown by the fact that
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro fur

Last November, Roumania furnished z;

OPPOSE P. 0. "SPEEDING UP"

shngton-Congressm Van Dyke,

the stop watch system or other meas

bill is being urged by the National Fed
Grafton of Post Office Clerks, affiliated
to the A. +. of l.. These postal work
ers say the bill is preparedness

In their estimates to congress for the

years and will not be sufficient to handle
the departments increasing business. ac-
cording to Thomas +. Flaherty, legis-
lative representative of the post office
clerks. He fears the postal workers
will be speeded up to even higher pitch
than at present, unless congress adopts
the Van Dyke measure.
AT no time in the history of the postal
service have complaints been so gen
eral and so emphatic against the depart
mental policy of driving men," said Mr.
Flaherty. 'Inspectors trail aged letter

ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND.

One OF the most healthy symptoms of
the American drama at the present mo-
ment Is the eagerness displayed by play
wrights to undertake experiments in de-
nance of established technical traditions
he obvious motive of these expert
ments is the desire to attain sudden
and decisive success by capturing the
audiences by surprise. Some Of the de
vices that have been invented to achieve
this purpose have shown little merit. but
their novelty furnished a spur to other
writers, i'll their search for inventions
to broaden the boundaries of stage
craft.
The first to succeed was Elmer L.
Reizcnstcin with the melodrama "On
Trial" The popular reception of this
play has made it plain that any play
wright may henceforward safely venture
to reveal story backward, whenever,
by so doing he can increase the suspense
and the intensity OF his narrative.
Thus "On Trial' takes no heed Of a
chronological sequence Of event which
tell the story OF celebrated murder
case. It's scenes move backward or for
ward according to the order in which
they are related in the witness box, and
you learn the details of the case not as
they are described in court, but as they
have actually occurred.

stalled, the coaches are likely to go back over the past few seasons and pick up broken threads, as Yale has had a coaching system since 1888.
 Previous to that date there was no coaching policy. From 1889 to 1895 the captain did the chief coaching. advised by Walter Camp, and assisted by returning graduate players. Then ensued a period of ups and downs, during which aH-season head coaches were in charge and no particular graduate support was given the cap tains, and Brink Thorne's and Jim Rodgers teams won striking suc- cesses, A third period then came in, of ten years, beginning with Me- Brides 1899 team, during which the new traditional Yale football coaching system was developed.
 Under this system the captain had full power. Generally the preceding captain was head or field coach. Camp was chief adviser, and each year everybody came back and was assigned special pOsitiOn-cOaching to do. During this period Yale won both from Harvard and Princeton eight times, tied once, and lost twice sixteen victories, two ties, and four defeats. From 1910 to 1913, the old system Wavered or was regained year by year, each captain making at- tempts to stem the tide of disaster due to a diversity of causes (not the least of which was the rise of strong CT competitors) and trying out new coaching systems. The last two years have seen a still more radical. effort made to reorganize, but without suc- , cess.

DAYTON WITH TIGERS.
Former Robin and Fed Star is Hook ed By Navin.

Detroit April 21-President Frank Navin of the local American league club announced yesterday that he had signed Jack Dalton. former Brooklyn National and Buffalo Fed eraI league outfielder, to a Tiger con- tract for 1916.
 President Hermann of the Gin cinnati Nationals announced last week that Dalton would be signed by the Reds. Dalton, however, could not agree on terms with Cincinnati. and Manager Herzog relinquished his claim on the former Fed. The an- nouncement yesterday was O big sur prise, as it was thought that Dalton s terms were too high for the local club. In 1914, with Brooklyn, Dal- ton batted .319 for 12S games. His hitting average for 132 games with the Buffalo Federals last year was 294. Dalton will be carried as a n extra outfielder.

PRINCETON SHELL
 A FOOT IN FRONT
Tiger Crew Beats Off Harvard Eight in Hot Finish

Princeton, N. J., April 21-A cats whisker, an eyelash, the skin of your teeth-take your choice and you nave a fitting measure of the Prince ton crews margin of victory over the Harvard eight in their race on Lage Carnegie yesterday afternoon.
 At the finish of their muscle and nerve straining test over a course O. one and seven-eights miles the Tigers led by just enough to prevent a dead heat. For the sake of con- ovenience, we make the distance one foot. It was not more than that. Sticklers for mathematical accuracy figured it down to matter of inches. The crews were so close as they crossed the line that the timers watch, measuring by half seconds, failed to show any difference in their performances. The sons of Old Nassau were caught in 9.12 1-2- eight and one-half seconds behind the record for the course held by Cornell.
 It was a truly Homeric climax to & most strenuous struggle. Princeton led all the way but Harvard made B gallant fight in the final quarter and all but succeeded. The spectacu- lar finish brought to mind the fla -mous windup of the Yale-Harvard contest at New London in 1914, when the nose of the Crimson shell was only inches in front of the Eli bow.
 Easy for Crimson Juniors.
 While it was forced to concede de- feat in the big race, Harvard found some balm in the clean-cut victory of its second crew over the Princeton junior varsity. Rowing over the same course later covered in the prin- cipal event, the Crimson second eight won by fully two lengths. The liar yard boat went to the fore at the half mile and was never headed being timed in 9.46, as against 955 for Princeton.
 For a crew which had been con- ceded only an outside chance an eight which included only three had never before rowed in any kind of a race, the Princeton com bination put up a remarkable exhibition and deserves as much commendation as if it had triumphed by open water.
 The Tigers really won the contest in the first quarter. They got the jump on their rivals at the start and lead of three-quarters of a length at the half mile. At that stage It looked like child's play for the home eight.
 But Harvard was not to be beaten
