Kitchen of a Restaurant" "

Washington. April 1s.-while the state department. was considering to- day a new phase Of the Mexican problem-a request from the Carranza government that its troops be given passage across American territory to attack revolutionists in Sonora state Henry Lane Wilson. former ambas sador to Mexico. was drawing a gloomy picture of the situation be- yond the border before a senate in vestigation committee.
 MT. Wilson asserted that the un fortunate and michievous policy of the present administration toward Mexico" was responsible for the con- ditions he described. That policy. he added. had bound the United States to maintain Carranza in power and with him the legend that there is peace and order in Mexico"
 The state department did not make public the text of the Mexican re- quest. nor was any official intimation given as to the nature of the reply to be made or when it would be sent. The only comment made was that the government was under pressure from Mexico to comply. The request contemplated movement of Mexican federal troops by rail through Fl Pa so to Douglas. AriZ.. where they would recross the border to attack Hermo- sillo. capital of Sonora.

 LISTED FOR HALL OF FAME

New York. April ls.-The names of four prominent educators of Connee- ticut appear on the list of the board of electors for 1920 to the Hall of Fame of New York University. ac- cording to an announcement made yesterday. EX-President William Howard Taft. of the Yale faculty, has a record of public achievement wh!ch places him on a par. with the fore most figures in American statesman- shin today. Dr. Arthur T. Hadley. is widely known throughout the coun- try both as a teacher and a scholar of the highest standing. As president of Yale university. he has set a mark in educational executive ability. Drs. George B Adams ana Charles NJ. Andrew. both professors of history ai that institution. arc two of 'uur' lead ing authorities in that line of endeav- or.
 New York University yearly selects a limited number of men and women from among those most distinguish ed in Mathematician life to serve on the board. It is therefore very high honor indeed to be invited io serve in this capacity. The choice oi those representing Connecticut this year is a most happy one. All four are of the highest standard in their pro- fession and the state is to be con- l graduated upon their selection.

SUMMING UP IN CASE
 AGAINST CAILLAUX

Paris, April 16.-After speaking for. the greater part of three days, Theo- dore Lescouve, procurator general, to- night concluded summing up the pros ecution's case against Joseph Caillaux, former premier of France, who is or trial for alleged treason He demand ed application of the penalties pre- scribed by Articles 77 and I9 of the penal code, declaring that Article 205 of the military code, which calls for the death penalty. by decision of the court of cessation, was inapplicable The procurator clearly exempted NJ Caillaux from the same degree of guilt which applied to Bolo PaSha and NJ Duval saying that the fingers of these two were soiled by the enemy S gold" whereas Caillaux only should suffer the political penalty. Both Polo Pasha and NJ. Duval were put to death for their crimes.
 M. Lescouve discourse was main- tained in the level tones of sober statement of fact until the last stage | of his address, when he developed some fervor. After saying that Ger | many had finaced Miguel Almereyda, l editor of the Bonnet Rouge, Bolo l Pasha and Pierre Lenoir, all of whom 1 he declared had died miserably as traitors, because Germany knew NJ l Caillaux was behind them. the pro 1 curator general expressed the opinion | that M. Caillaux must now be assailed oy remorse.
 Thereupon, the accused who had
 shown signs of nervousness as NJ
 Lescouve continued, cried out "No.'
 M. Lescouve retorted Then am SOFT, for your sake"

 tence, M. Leseouve concluded. mus

ii NOTED RUSSIANS FOUND
 DEAD ON STRANDED YACHT

Bucharest. April s.-The discovery on the yacht Ostara. stranded at Su- lima on one M the mouths of the Dam ube, of the dead bodies of eleven not ed Russian men and women. each shot through the head. and not living soul on board. has presented tc the Roumanian authorities one Of the most mysterious tragedies Of bol- shevism in the Black Sea. The bodies have been identified as those of members of the noted Russian fami- lies of Falzfein and Shadowski. = The discovery was made by SOL diers, who. when they went aboard the helpless yacht. found the cabin half filled with water and the eleven bodies floating around. On board the yacht were ls.00o.0oo rubles in gold and paper and jewels.
 The elder Falzfein still grasped a pistol in his hand when his body was found. and whether the party com mitted suicide or were murdered Is a question that remains unanswered.
 An investigation is being made by the Roumanian authorities. aided by Russian friends of the two families. All that is known is that the two families fled their estates to Odessa and. when the bolsheviki arrived there in February. put. their belongings on board the Ostara.

 Eastern railroads continued to re- port increasing defections in the strikers ranks. but these were uls- puted by strike leaders who declared the main body of their men was stlli holding firm. Continued improvement also was reported by the roads ot :he middle and Far West.
