GADSKI INVITATION
UPHELD BY HADLEY
Dutch" Carriers Protest Fails
TO Stop Yale.

New Haven. May IL Dutch" Carter
has been indicted by considerable
number Of Yale men on charge OF
mixing German singing and Prussian
militarism. But there are enough sup
porters of his protest against the APP
pearance of Nine. Gadski, wife Of an
indicted German captain, in the Yale
Bowl June Z. to create something of a
rumpus here.
President Iadley said that he would
make no comment, but that the action
of the university in inviting Nine.
Gadsk TO sing spoke for itself. Pro-
fessor Hiram Bingham said that few
Of the members OF the faculty had eX-
pressed sysmpathy with the utterances
Of Professor Phelps, which Carter had
said made him sore"
other members OF the faculty call
attention TO the fact that Yale has done
much to further the cause of prepared
ness.
A note that appeared in THE Yale
News" this morning, a parody on Car
ter's letter of protest, Is accepted as
indicating the sentiment of many of
the undergraduates. 1t tells of the in
vitation TO a Fictitious Hook McGlook"
70 supe in the opea at the Bowl, and
a potest is made because Of some shot
comings of the mysterious Hooks family.

Wilson Urges Congress
to Speed Action on Bills

Washington, May 17.-President VIII
son, talking with Congressional callers
to-day, indicated his qualification at the
progress being made on legislation sup
ported by the Administration, and er-
pressed hope that Congress would be
able to adjourn early in the summer
II is the hope of the President to see
most of the Administration programme
completed before the political conven-
tions in June.
Representative Eagle, Of Texas, told
the President that he thought Congress
would adjourn by the middle OF July.
Senator Kern, majority leader Of the
Senate, has said, however, that sd-
iournment may not come before August
IS, and Speaker Clark thinks it hardly
will be practicable then.
The Democratic platform will be
based largely on the record OF legisla-
tion enacted. The drafting OF the plat
form already has been begun, and for
that reason the progress being made
by Congress is awaited with profound
interest by Administration leaders.
The measures which the President
particularly wants passed before the
conventions are the shipping bill, the
rural credits bill, the Philippine ano
Porto Rican bills. the tariff commission
bill and a corrupt practices act.
Postmaster General Burleson dis
cussed the political situation with the
President to-day and sfterward said he
thought Ex-Governor Glynn, OF New
York. undoubtedly would be temporary
chairman of the Democratic conven-
ton. lie also indicated his belief that
Speaker Champ Clark would be per.
manent chairman. although friends OF
the Speaker say he does not expect to
attend the convention.
