 Secretary Stokes Arrives.
 At this point Secretary Anson Phelps Stokes of Yale made his way through the crowd, and, picking out a couple of the leaders asked theu If they could control the college boys They replied affirmatively. He then said, T am glad to see that you have carried yourselves well. I am proud of the way that you have handled yourselves tonight, but I am opposed to the marching through the streets of a body of students. Stand your ground and protect your houses but do not venture forth on the streets. Do not assume the initiative" he con- cluded.
 The students, however, were not to be dispersed so easily. Before Secre- tary Stokes had concluded his re- marks, a number turned their backs and walked away.
 Narrow Escape for Two.
 Just before midnight three students backed into the doorway of John Gill bert & Sons store in company with Rev. William Roberts of the West vile Methodist church With a cry Ol Here x SOHle Ol llleUI, IuSAi was made to drag g them into the mob. Then the reverend gentleman pro- testing against violence a voice cried, Don't hit lem boys, they're with us." the three were marched down Chapel street surrounded by the soldiers and taken into Gregson street, where they were swallowed up by the crowd. During this portion of the fracas sew eral stones were thrown at the store windows.
 A determined effort was made by the mob to get into the Gamble-Des- rnond building from the rear a large stepladder being used to reach the bottom of the fire escapes leading to the roof. It was claimed that at least some students had sought this haven of refuge. Some evidence of there being somebody in the upper floors was proven by several china plates being hurled into Chapel street from above.
 Very few soldiers were seen in this crowd, those in uniform, however, were wearing thee rimson and white hate ords seen at the Allingtown base hospital

Washington, Hay 2S-Postmaster General Burleson, in a letter todaf to Chairman Sims of the House Com naerce committee. declared that the present situation with respect to the telegraph and telephone systems re- quired the determination at this time of a broad government policy rather than the immediate return Of the lines to their owners as provided for in the resolution introduced by Chair
 man Steenerson of the Post Office committee.
 MT. Burleson's letter was in reply to one from MT. Sims relative to the statement sent to members of con- gress by Clarence H. Nacllay, presi- dent of the Postal Telegrap pin Cable Company, who referred to immediate passage of the sSteenerson resolution and offered to reduce the telegraph rates for his company 20 per cent The postmaster general said a casual examination of she telegraph opera tions disclosed that his company in 1918 carried only S14, ,930.396 out of a total of s90 900, ,030 of the telegraph business and that the saving to the public which MT. Mackay asserts he can accomplish by 20 per cent. re- duction would necessarily be limited to S3.oO0.000 annually instead Of S12,- eco 0O0.''

CANDIDACY RESTS ON FATE OF LEAGUE
 SAYS CUMMINGS

Chicago, Ill, May 2S-President Wilson's candidacy for a third term will be determined largely by the fate of the league of na- tions, in the opinion Of Homer s. Cummings, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who came to Chicago today to preside at a two days session of that body.
 While I have no information regarding President Wilson's in tentions about becoming a candi- date for a third term, I believe that the question largely rests on the fate of the league of nations" said Chairman Cummings. If the league Of nations should be any chance be defeated, and this to my mind is unthinkable the pressure brought to bear on the president to run again would be very great and I feel certain that he would be reelected If tho league of nations is successful do not think the pressure would be nearly as great"
 In the absence of definite word from President Wilson on the subject there was little gossip of candidates among the party lead CTS The names most frequently mentiond were Wm. c. McAdoc, former Secretary Of the Treasury, and A. Mitchell Palmer, United States Attorney, who will address the committee tomorrow night.
