IMPRESSIVE SERVICES FOR
 EX-EMPRESS

Potsdam, April 19-Augusta Vic toria, empress of sorrow,' was laid to her last rest here today in the 'Antiken Temple,'' an unique mauso- leum just off the palace of Sans Souci built by Frederick the Great. The old Prus; tan king had named it SC because it was the place where he forgot his cares and sorrows.
 The funeral of the ex-Kaiserin was the most imposing event seen within the former German empire since the days of the Hchenzollcrn reign.
 In pomp and magnificence it lack ed nothing of the old time imperial display. At this cabling no unto ward incident had occurred. Though the atmosphere was tense, particular ly in Berlin where. according to tele- phonic advises the authorities are thoroughly prepared for any attempt by extre nists or conservatives to make the funeral of the eX-Empress the occasion for a demonstration.
 The special train carrying the for mer Kaiserin's coffin arrived at Wild park station here promptly at 10:45 o'clock last night.
 At 9:15 o'clock this morning four pitchblack horses with black plumes waving from their heads drew up in front of the railroad station with the imperi hearse, which was decorated with four punches of black plumes
 A thousand former army and navy officers in gala uniform stood in mill itary formation around Sans Souci palace while others lined both sides

VICE SQUAD IS
 COSTLY TO CITY

The Bureau of Investigation and Missing Persons. formerly known as the ''vice squad. has cost the city s367.64 in carfare since it's organiza- ton about one year ago. Nine mem bers of the squad were notified today that checks for various amounts spent for carfare await them at the City Hall.
 Individual amounts are as follows William Foster. s45; M. J Larney. s37.50; P. J Murphy. S42.50; Daniel Brolley, S37.50; Walter Auger, s41.60: T, J. MaIoney. sss;74: John J. Doyle, s42.90; Thomas McNamara, s45.50 and Michael Arnolsky, S36 40.
 Members of the Detective Bureau who do much the same work as that of the Bureau of Missing Persons, ride on free tickets issued by the Connecticut company During the past year however, it seems that the other plain clothes men had to pay or walk
 At the Bureau of Investigation this morning, it was impossible to learn whether members of the departme are now riding on passes. Inquiries were referred to Sergeant Michael Arnolsky who is in charge of the squad, but the sergeant could not be located.

YALE SUFFERS
 NERVE ATTACK

New Haven, April 1.-The presence of school girls and other females, who occasionally take short cuts'' across the Yale campus walks, has got upon the nerves of the editors of the Yale Daily News, which today editorializes against what it terms a feminine in- vasion' of the Yale campus, "con- Srary to tradition and undesirable from every point of view.''
 High school girls and others of the gentler sex are solemnly remind ed that the campus is "a private enclos- ure owned by the university and 1n- tended solely for university men,
 The presence of visitors who come simply to view the campus scenery is declared to be 'tal1 very we'll as far as it goes, but when the visitors be- gin exploring the intriors things are liable to happen" says the News" Particularly if they arrive during the cold shower period of late afternoon. Females in the passage ito the show CTS have nothing on the famous bull in the china shop There is only one remedy, and that is to courteously warn the various inspection tourists that for their own sakes they had best confine their attentions to the lore impersona1 exteriors.''
 Visitors within limits are described as always welcome but the News in- tirrlaltes that mo trespass'' signs may be necessary if privacy cannot be ob- tained by resorting to such extremes"

TAKE STEPS TO
 PUT RZSH ACT
 INTO OPERAT7O

London, April 19-Steps to bring into operation the Irish act, provid- ing for home rule in the island, were taken today by the British govern sment. This law which was described by King George as the fruit of thirty years of ceaseless controversy was passed by Parliament on December 21 last and received royal assent a short time later. Sim Fein leaders in Ireland have been iobtspoken in their opposition to the measure.
 Elections of members of the north- ern and southern Irish parliaments will be held on May 3 under present plans. Sheriffs will be directed to proceed with the preliminary steps of the elections but it seems probable the southern sections of Ireland will ignore the provisions of the law Ul- ster is understood to have made ar engagements for elections, and an- nouncen1ent were made last month that the Ulster parliament would open on June 21, possibly under royal auspices.
 The Irish act provides for selection of a senate by the parliament of each section. After this is done the two houses of each parliament will elect twenty members of the council e. forty which will act as the connect ing link between the legislative bodies This council will. 1t is hoped by the sponsors of the law, provide a merns for bridging of the gap between the parltnments and uniting them in one body in the future.

R., had endeavored improp- erly to procure the annulment of the concession of an oil company in which British capital was interested.

FRANCE IS ON SIDEOF
 AMERICA
Will Stand Back of This . Country On Question of
 Yap Mandate But Ex-
 poets Reprocity.

Paris, April 19.-Every day makes it more apparent that France is eager to give emphatic support to the United States in the contro. versy between that country and Japan over the Island of lYap.
 In return for this, as is equally ap- give France her full moral backing in the contemplated policy of force against Germany or after May 1 if Germany fails to meet the repara- tionS demands.
 La Homme Libre which is Ex-Pre- mier Clemenceau's newspaper, says today:
 Though England has not yet taken a definite attitude, and though Japan frequently gave France much appre- ciated support in the Supreme Coun- cil discussions France has deliberate ly placed herself on the side of Amer ica in the Tap question wherein the Americans have powerful arguments in their behalf"
 The paper adds significantly that it it to be hoped America will recipro- cate in a certain measure with regard to the application of the Treaty of
 Washington, April 19.-In the judgment of Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Com snittee, Japan is trying to work a time worn diplomatic bluff game in her exchange of notes with the United States on her claim of an exclusive mandate to the Pacific Island of Yap. Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, a Republican member of the committee, who saw Japan's rep resentafi1-es in action at the Russia Japanese conference at Portsmouth fin 1905, predicted today that on the efinal show down" the Japanese would yield to the demand of the American government for the inter standardization of Tap.
 Tokio. April, IS = The Japanese government today made public for che first time the United States note regarding the island of Tap Official comment was withheld.
 ' It is understood that Japan will reject the American claims and that in it's reply will hold that if the treaty of Versailles contains a mis- take then 1t is up to all it's signatories to rectify it Thus Japan would in vite a. reopening of the discussion of mandatory powers by all the powers that signed the treaty.

 In the event of the transfer of the gold to the branches named the sum may continue to figure as part of the balance of the ReichsbanlI the com mission explains. but the German government would have no right to dispose of it without obtaining pre- vious authority from the commission co do so.
