Music Is Discontinued In
Their Commons Dining Hall

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March q
Spring fever touched members of the
freshman class at ale tonight and
started a riot which outclassed all
others in vigor and damage.
The disturbance, which~brought $50
police to the university, begaqn in the
freshman commons during supper, 1t
was precipitated by the removal from
the dining hall of the orchestra that
had been playing there throughout
the season.
Tables in the dining nall were
overturned and most of the China
and glassware shattered. On the
oval outside bonfires were lighted
and fire apparatus summoned.
"There is no doubt" Dean Walden

premeditated as some action had been
threatened when it was reported that
the music was to be discontinued"
The entire freshman class will be
assessed to pay for the damages to
the dining room, while individuals
will be held responsible for damage
done in the oval, he declared.

Theodore Roosevelt and his brother
Kermit, arrived tonight on the
'Berengaria with their wives and
Kermit's children, Incidentally, 1t be-
came known that the expedition had
almost cost Colonel Roosevelt his
life.
In crossing the Hmalaya Mountains
over the Karakoram pass, he was
caught in a snow slide and carried
down steep mountainside. With
agility however, he ended his de-
scent on top of the slide instead of
under it.
colonel Roosevelt's first words on
arrival were that he felt fit for
fight or frolic," and didn't know
which it would be until he had a
chance to survey the political situa-
ton.
Included in the game bagged by
the Roosevelt party, all of which
is to go to the Field Museum of
Chicago, was the much heralded
Owls Poll, the huge wild sheep of the
Russian and Chinese Pamir.
The hunters wives returned with
a tiger apiece to their credit, hav-
ing shot the animals from the backs
of elephants after joining their hus-
bands in India. They did not ac-
company the party during it's earlier

HOW DOES The ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE OFFEND?

There are bitter and vicious attacks
continually made upon the Anti-Saloon
League. In the senatorial struggle i'll
Illinois it is reported the wet candidate
opens his campaign with this statement:
"The greatest enemy of temperance that
exists in the nation today is the Anti
Saloon League"
Some United States Senators and Con-
gressmen go out of their way to pay their
hostile respects to the Anti Saloon
League. An editorial in the Tribune of
June l, 1926, quotes with approval Rep
resentative Tinkham's statement, "The
Anti Saloon League is making mockery
of representative government The edi-
torial goes on to use the following Ian
guage:
mo political party able to muster more
than a ragged regiment is SO ruthless in
its hostility to the guarantees of liberty
under the Constitution or more con-
temptuous of the fundamental conceptions
OF human freedom which underlie the
great charter. i. 81.

ruption funds, its methods and accom-

plishments through Congress may we'll be
doubted. But itsexposure is a concern of
the greatest moment to the nation
And what is all this strong language
about? Just condenlning the Anti-Saloon
League because we are determined to pro-
tect the homes and the childhood of our
nation from the depreciation of the liquor
traffic. That's all.
Our only ofense is that we will not
keep quiet when the liquor lords of the
world try to recapture the United States.
We, having become acquainted with the
methods of the wet politicians, have been
able to thwart their wicked designs But
the Ants Saloon League is not the first
nor will it be the last loudly cursed for
making sacrifcial fight for the welfare
of man. Take comfort, brethren. You
belong to the brood of reformers, de-
spsed race. The world never loved them.
Forever more, forever more,
1t shall be as it hath been heretofore;
The world in which they lived
Will not forgive
The spendor of the everlasting light
That made their foreheads bright
Nor the sublime forerunning OF their
time.

lars each. The brewery is also closed
on injunction for year, and the de-
PENDANTS are still to be prosecuted
On January 9, our agents seized
the Pfeiffer Brewery turning out
high powered beer and their permit
was also revoked, the brewery seized
and put into the hands of the United
States marshal and, month ago, we
got court order to destroy all the
beer on hand, which amounted to,
approximately, 100000 gallons. We
also seized all automobiles and trucks
found on the premises and there are
a dozen or more defendants no4v u1l-
der $4,000 bond EACH under indict-
ment before the grand jury charged
with conspiracy.
At the last session of the United
States District Court, at Peoria, in
May, 1926, not single bootlegger
went on trial. All plead guilty.
Note this summary of what happened
at the court in one day, May Is, 1926:
Seventeen persons came to trial. all
plead guilty; total fines assessed in the
day amounted to $4,000 besides the cost
in each Of the II cases. In addition, per-
manent injunctions were secured against
four places closing them up, and jail SEN
fences were imposed aggregating thirty
six months.
What wonder we feel encouraged when
records like that come from Peoria. Why
should we not take pride in and back up
such officials, giving them all possible as
sistance? Write to Mr. Yellowley, at
Transportation Building, Chicago, Illi-
noise, and to General Lincoln c. An
drews at Washington, and tell them how
much you appreciate such work by them
and their associates.

lures, and church people, In their folly, are
taking up the canvass, in some instances,
on the promise that the church that Sc
cures the largest number of signatures to

ceive gift of $500.
% The splendid work being done by
the enforcement bureau is belittled or not
at all reported
(10) Sometimes juries are terrified so
that they dare not bring adverse sentences
against liquor criminals.
I'D And so the vets go on, boycott
ting. threatening, lying, prosecuting,
shooting and killing, and by such terrify-
ing criminal activities are endeavoring to
prove that the prohibition law is failure
and that restoration of liquor is the only
redress. What they do prove is that pro-
hibition success is making all hell tremble.
02) But we call attention most en-
phatically to the fact that the whole fabric
is based upon falsehood and every argu-
ment which is deduced from this struc-
ture OF crime and Misrepresentation rests
upon a false basis The criticisms hurled
against the Volstead act are, without ex-
ception, based on the violation of it, not
obedience to its provisions. When it can
be shown that obeying the Volstead act
gets people into trouble, that refusing to
drink adds to their moral degradation and
that when the prohibition law is honestly
and successfully enforced, the community
gets worse instead of better, it will be
time to consider revision and repeal But
until then every such proposal is of the
nature of a retreat and should be resisted.
1t is an effort to persuade the community
to turn its back upon its most pressing
duty just now, which is TO see that the
VoIstead act is put into full force and
