Hamilton Is All.arOund
Entry In Penn Games.

Brutus Hamilton, star all-around
athlete of the Tiger track team, will
leave tomorrow for Philadelphia
where he will compete Friday in the
first events in the all-around divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania relays. Ham,
iltOn will be the only entry in this
event FROM Missouri.
Coach Robert l. Simpson and two or
three other members of the team will
leave on Wednesday. 1t is uncertain
at present as to whether or not re-
lay team will go. Scholz and Massen-
gale are in the special sprint are al
most certain entries. A ruling of the
Penn games which allows only one
man from each school to enter the 100
yard dash keeps Massengale from
running in this event. Coach Simpson
may also take weight man to the
eastern meet.

SchOlx Is Star
In Drake Games.

In Drake Games.
Led by jackson Scholz, the Tiger
track team made an another memOra-
BILE performance last Saturday by
placing high in several events at the
Drake relays.
Despite the fact that Howard Drew
holder of the worlds record in the
100-yard dash was entered, Scholz
had an easy time in the century
event and raced the distance in the
wonderful time of 995 seconds. Colby
of Iowa who finished second was sew
eral feet behind the Tiger racer and
Drew was even further back.
Scholz is described in a Des Moines
paper as bounding away with the gun
and attaining a big lead at the start
of the race and further increasing the
lead as he neared the finish line" !"
His performance in the Drake meet
makes him a favorite in the Penn
games to be held this Saturday.
Missouri entered relay teams in the
$50 yard and mile events. The Tigers
took second place in the short dis
tance event and captured third posi-
tion in the mile relay. Michigan won
the half mile relay but in SO doing de-
feated Missouri's entries by one foot.
Scholz running in anchor position for
the Tigers had made up a loss of seve-
raj yards. Hart, Parker, Massengale
and SchOlz made up the Missouri team.
In this event the Tigers defeated
Ames Nebraska, Kansas, Chicago and
Illinois.
Michigan and Minnesota were the
two quartets to finish ahead of
Simpsons men in the one mile relay.
Maxwell. Parker. Roney and Massen-
gale made up the Missouri team.
In the two mile University relay
event Ames came within one-fifth Of a
second of the worlds record and took
seven seconds from the Drake record.

About $50 Persons Present-Seven
New Members Received.

An impressive communion service in
commemoration of the first Lords Supper.

the first Lords Supper, picturing in a
vivid way the disciples gathering with
their Master in the upper chamber, ex-
planning the manner in which they were
seated about the Lords table, and bring
ing to the minds of his hearers in a very
impressive way the incidents connected
with that first Lords Supper, which took
place on a Thursday night before the

said, was the greatest tragedy the world
ever has known.
At the close of his talk the commun-

COMMUNISTS STOP
FIGHTING AT ESSEN
Soldiers Will Not Be
Considered Rebels-Lack Of Am
munition Forced Them to Yield.

DUESSELDORF, April 2(Associated
Press s)-Soldiers of the workmen's army
made delivery of their arms to the To-
cal authorities before April l under the
agreement reached between the govern
ment and the central committee of the
workmen's general conference at Essen.
They viii not be considered rebels. The
commander of the Communists troops at
Vessel gave pledge to the conference
for observance of the agreement. He de
clared he had really a good army but
could not continue fighting because he
lacked ammunition and said that all
fighting had been suppressed and that all
looters had been shot.
Fighting in the mining district has been
ordered called off. One feature of the
meeting of the workmen was the repeated
reference of the strikers to the alleged re
mark that the rebels could not have
lived to accept the final agreement if the
allies had not ducked them.

WHOLE RAILROAD WAGE
CONTROVERSY IS AGAIN
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT

Wilson. The law provides for three rep
of the public on this board.
L. T. Whittier, chairman of the railway
executives conference committee, an
nounced the decision in a statement
which said the two sides were in dis
agreement as to the provisions of the
transportation act. The union represen
tatives were said to hold that the law
contemplates an agreement between the
railroads and the employees prior to any
opportunity for participation by the rep
resentatives of the republic The rail
road committeeman held that such an
agreement might be reached but they
did not believe that congress ever con
templated that controversy involving
so great an addition to transportation
costs and in which the public is therefore
so vitally interested should be disposed
of by direct negotiations.

TREE PEST DEMANDS
SERIOUS ATTENTION
Elm Leaf Beetle Present in Vermont in
Damaging and Increasing
Numbers

The elm leaf beetle demands the serious
attention of all those interested in the
production of the fine elms in the towns
and villages of large section of Vermont.
Ihls insect, native of the Old World,
was first found in the United States at
Baltimore, in 1888. 1t has been present
IN this state for at least 10 years, and has
been found in damaging numbers as far
north as Windsor, on the eastern. and
Middlebury, on the western sides.
Each summer, for several years. the
insect has exacted a toll from the vigor
of the elms in the infested region. Last
summer, however, the ravages of the
beetle showed marked increase, and
this, together with the fact that at least
one nearby town in New Hampshire suf-
fered veritable scourge of the insect,
leads to the belief that it is entering upon
one OF the periods of abundance common
to such pests.
Points at which elm leaf beetle damage
to village or city shade trees has been
noted are: Windsor, Springfield, Bellows
Falls, Saxton's River, Brattleboro, Pow
nal, bloomington, Salisbury, Poultney,
Rutland and Middlebury 1t is probable
that other towns throughout the same
| valleys as these are likewise infested
Students of the situation have held that
the species has reached about the northern
limit of its range and that little further
spread need be feared Observations il
Vermont point to the correctness of thii
theory in general no spread of the beetl,
has been noted during the past six year
above Windsor in the Connecticut Rive
valley, nor away from the larger valley
into the towns of higher altitude, ever
in the southern part of the state 1t ap
parently has advanced northward alon
the Otter Creek valley, and there appear
to be no reason to suppose that it ma
not proceed as far, at least, as Burline
ton, in the Champlain valley-Rutlan

Dor Board with Public
Represented

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The whole
fore President Wilson today for the third
time since railroad labor filed its demand
for a general increase in wages last sum
mer.
In letter to the President, Mr.. Jewell
of the railway committee which consti-
tutes the labor party and railroad wage
board, said he regretted very much ito
advise you of our failure to obtain any
benefits from this conference" The en-
ployees, Mr. Jewell said, were keenly dis
appointed at the position taken by the
railway executives committee which an
nounced last night a deadlock and the
withdrawal of the railroad members from
the conference.
Mr.. Jewell did not ask the President
to lay the wage controversy before the
railway labor board which is to be nomi-
mated by the President, as provided in
the transportation act and on which the
public will have representation.
Union officials said that at the request
of the President they were going to give
the transportation act fair trial" al
though they did not know any of its pro-
visions. They took the position that
with the breaking up of the joint confer.

Last night the railroad representative
declined to continue consideration of de
mands which have been estimated t
total 81 ,0O0,0O0,0 600 unless the public wa
