at Arthur T. TIadIey. the retiring
presfdentof Yale. The dining. room
was filed with one of the largest
gatherings Of former Yale men ever
assembled at q dinner. many of them
coming here from distant parts OF the
country. In numbers they exceeded
the record set by the alumni dinner In
honor Of William Howard TAFT. after
his election as president Of the United
States.

But, like their elders" he added,
with a smile that became epidemic,
they have an ineligible indisposition
to be bored to except for some good
end, and a certain part Of the subject

arts and certain Of the methods of in
stfuction seem to them remote from
any values which they can themselves
actively appreciate or which they seem
70 appreciate.
BY way of experimenting these de-
ficiencies they have themselves Great

asserted was preserving the values
OF a liberal education while gaining
some of the enthusiasm for intellec-

MAINE ROADS ARE
IN BAD CONDITION

Road conditions throughout the
State are far from good according to
information obtained by the touring
bureau of the Maine Automobile
Association. All of the macadam
and concrete highways are in ex-
cellent condition, but the gravel and
dirt roads have been badly dam
aged by frost, and, in fact, are in
worse condition this year, in many
places, than they have been for a
long time. This is due to the lack
of snow which allowed the frost to
penetrate to a considerable depth.
Between Portland and Augusta,
via Brunswick, there has been only
one bad place this spring, about five
and a half miles south of Gardiner,
a reconstructed gravel highway. The
State Highway department, however,
has been working on this for the past
two or three weeks, and it is now in
good condition.
Between Brunswick and Rockland
the only bad spots are near Damaris-
Gotta and in Edgecomb. The latter
mud hole has been filled in, and is
now passable. Traffic is also going
through the bad section in Damaris-
Gotta. but it is far from good. The
remainder of tho roads are rough,
but passable.
1t is practically impossible to go
from Portland to Lewiston at the
present time. owing to some bad
stretches. The highway between
Brunswick and Lewiston is bad be-
tween Lisbon Falls and Lewiston,
and since the recent rain many cars
have been getting stuck there. The
warm sun yesterday and today, how
ever, has made it possible to get
through between these two points.
The roads between Augusta and
Waterville are bad.
In the vicinity of Bethel the roads
are passable, the majority of the
mud holes having been filled In
They are not good however. The
highway between Bethel and Rum
ford also is passable, but poor.
nj the vicinity of Bridgton the
roads are good for the time of the
year and north of that town are
passable. The bad places have been
filled in, but the majority of the
high ways are very rough. Between
Bridgwayy are and North Conway
N. H., the roads are passable blu,
bad.

Passover Begins
Friday Evening, April %

PASSOVER. the Jewish festival of
Aaberty, known In Hebrew as "Pe-
sach," begins this year on Friday
evening. April %. The concluding
Gay OF the celebration will be held on
Saturday. April 30. among families
adhering strictly to traditional reg
ulations. while more liberal Jews
conclude the Passover week on Fri
day, April 20.
Passover in the light OF. it's origin
was an agricultural feast, but at a
later period became disassociated in
part from it's primitive nature-wor-
ship emonialism and was identified
with an epochal historical circum-
stance, which invested the festival
with a new and highly Significant
spiritual message.
During the Passover week, Jewish
families eat Matzoth, unleavenet
bread, which is one of the severa
symbols used in observance of the
festival to bring home the recollec.
ton OF oppression and the everitua
| triumph of humanity from the tyran-
ny of injustice and iniquity.
The festival beginning on the eve.
| ming on the day previous to the hol-
! iday, is known as the Seder and in
augurates the Passover celebration
This service is a beautiful hom,
ceremony in which all members o.
the family participate.
The special ritual used for thi!
Seder service is called the "Hagadah'
and recites the events of the Exodu:
by means Of quaint songs and stories
that awaken within the soul of ole
and young. a love of liberty and
strengthens the faith of the present
generation in the priestly mission OF
Israel in tho world.
Observed in a spirit of gladness
this spring festival of liberty has in
spired the Jew to trust in the even
tual reign of righteousness. For this
reign of righteousness the Jew be-
iieves himself to have been appointed
to prepare, as the final goal of all
mankind.

where 1t is imperative to take de-
cision one way or another. Mr..
Hodges, it is declared, was severely
criticized by his colleagues for hav-
ing made what was termed a peace
offer to members or the House OF
Commons Thursday evening without
authority. He Is said to have imnle-
diately rendered his resignation.
When interviewed, Mr.. Hodges
said:
II have not resigned. If I had, I
should not be issuing official state
ments now"
When the question was pressed II
he had offered to resign, he de-
clined to answer.
Although the general situation is
considered to have greatly improved
by the failure of the railwaymen
and the transport workers to call
out their projected strikers, the gov

tinues actively.
The mine owners issued anoIner
statement tonight, repeating their
previously stated opinion that the
wages Of the lower paid men ought
to be adjusted and declaring that
they still were ready to meet the
miners in conference.
Strange scenes were witnessed in
the government offices, city houses
and other places today. Throughout
the morning hundreds Of temporary
beds were delivered to accommodate
members of the government staff
who would have been unable tC
reach their distant homes in the
event Of railway strike. Baggage
laden people also were seen hurry

MEXICAN REBEL
LEADER BELIEVED
HIDINGIN TEXAS

Mexico City, April 15--(By the
Associated Press)--General Pablo
Gonzales, former provisional presi-
dent, today crossed the Mexican
boundary from the United States at
some point between Matamoros
which is near Brownsville, Tex, and
San Fernando, according to a war
office announcement. He is said to
be in revolt against the government.
The war office announcement said
sufficient federal troops were at
hand to suppress Gonzales before his
movement became serious.
The plans of Gonzales are believed
here to anticipate the forming of
junction with rebel forces under
Francisco Murgua and Candida
Aguilar.
The rebellion caused little excite
ment in Mexico City. The official
version of the revolt is that 1T is
IAN escape valve which will serve to
purge and purify the army OF GER
tain malicious elements which are
we'll known and which will be dealt
with"
Early in the present month Cen
eral Pablo Gonzales, then in Laredo,
Tex, disclosed the existence OF
pIan to overthrow the Mexican gov
but said he had nothing to
do with it. directly. or indirectly
II consider as very laudable,' he
declared at the time, 1.-The purpose
of those Mexicans who seek as their
highest aim the salvation of my
country, menaced as it is b ythe bad
and inconceivable tur-
pitude of those men who have seized
the reins of the administration"
General Gonzales then admitted 1t
was his understanding that he would
be offered the leadership OF the
movement.

ADJUSTMENTS
Fine Program By
The ''Champlin Players
At Opera House Today

Last night, the Chas. K. Champ
lin Stock Co. scored another big hit
with the patrons Of the Opera
house when they presented Oliver
Morosc's great comedy, "Cappy
Kicks" to a large house. This great
play, one Of Broadway successes of
the past season. served to bring back
in prominent roles members who
have won recognition here in other
years and to introduce new addi-
tions to his cast. "Cappy Kicks"
proved to be rough old salt who
assumed a Eruff, grouchy exterior to
hide his big kind heart. He would
gicat in the power that his wealth
gave him until he met his match in
one Of his employees young Matt
Peasely." Captain Peasely offered
wide scope for the personality of Mr..
Champlin, which has made him such
a favorite with local theatre-goers
and he took advantage Of every OPP
,ortunity. The play was very fun
nv and the patrons enjoyed a good
hearty laugh. Immediately after the
performance they held an amateur
contest in which there were several
local talent.
For today matinee and night they
will present Mr.. Willard Mack's
great crook play, "Kick In" This
is another great play that should
not be missed by any lover of good
wholesome plays. This is no doubt
one of the strongest. bills that Mr..
>ChampIin presents this season. See
the great diamond robbery, the dope
fiend and other interesting features
about this great play. The box
office is open daily for all reserva-
ttons and patrons should apply early
at the Office which will be open until
