NO TANGO AT PROM, DECIDE H.$. FACULTY Juniors Are Disawomlw-mnwucs 0r Last Week Pianned For. Members of the Junior class of the New Britain High school are extreme- ly disappointed over the.decision o1 the school faculty in regard to the allowing of modern dances at the annual Junior “Prom.” The class presented a petition to the schiool board at its last meeting asking that they countenance the dances at the affair. The school board decided to leave it to the faculty and the facui- ty last evening decided dgainst the holding of a tango and hesitation af- fair. The class has decided, however, to hold the prom on May 29. If it is not a success the Sénjor prom, the culminating social event of the school year from time immemorial, will not be held this year, according to the consensus of opinion in the under- graduate body. It is slated for June 29. The High school seniors have is- sued tickets for their vaudeville show which will be given in the auditorium Friday evening, May 22, The tickets will all be general admission. The program will be ‘started off with the French play, ‘“La Dutchesse Mar- tin.” The students have been prac- ticing for this play for flve months and Miss McGuinness of the facuity, is sure the event will be the hit of the evening. Dancing will take place in the gymnasium, afterwards, un- til 11 o’clock, The program: 1—La Dutchesse Martin. 2—The Rhondo Mandolin Club. 3—Acrobatic Act— Farrell, Norton, Hultgren. 4—Curtin’s Quartet— Curtin, Ginsberg, Johnson, Maier. 6—The Musicale Trio— Porter, Horton, Maier. The operetta “Bulbul” presented by the Dramatic club a month ago, was a financial suecess. After paying for costumes, tickets, programs and the use of the auditorium, $158.67 was cieared. This was the club’s first at- tempt in presenting a musical play, and it was such a success that it is expected that Miss Mildred Weld will present a similar one next year. The tennis team is having exceeding- ly hard luck this week. Tuesday they were forced to call off the match with Hartford here, and today the weather again made it necessary to call off the New Haven match in this ciity. The Hartford match will be played Thurs- day on the Walnut Hil courts. A vweek from Thursday the New Haven team will play here, the weather per- mitting. The school tournament will have to be postponed until the last weék in May. The Senior banquet committee, under Arthur Sampson, chairman, has completeéd all the plans for the ban- quet to be held at Enfield, June 29th. | Special cars will leave the green at 6 o'clock, and the hungry members | winl arrive in plenty of time to begin eeting at 7 o’clock. Sherrod Skinner will act as toastmaster, and will call on Mr. Slade, Mr. Fay, Mr. Moody, Mr. Davis, Miss Ward and Miss McGuinness of the faculty. Members of the student body will also be pre- pared to say something, if Toast- master Skinner sees fit to call on them. The baseball team left on the 1:08 train this afternoon to play the Taft school team in Watertown. The last week has been a poor one for prac- | ticing and Captain Cabellus’ men have { hardly had time-to remedy their faults that were so noticeable in the Hart- fcrd contest last Saturday. The Wa- tertown team have been using their indoor baseball cage for the past few days, so New Britain will have to play excellent ball in order to defeat them, Miss Marion Long, chairlady of the class night committee. has hit upon a novel way of presenting the class President Farrell of the Senior class will give his address of welecome in front of the curtain on auditorium stage. After his speech, the curtains are to be lifted and a banquet scene presented on the stage, with the speakers seated at the President Farrell will act as toastmaster, and call on Harry Fisher, historian, Julia Russell and Robert Vance, prophets, and Mary Horsfall, for the will. There will be no poem this. year. At intervals during the evening the entire class will sing the four official Senior class songs by Miss Helen Sullivan, Mary Walsh and The other song has not vet been adopted by the song com- mittee, The Debating club had the neces- HAVE GOLOR MUH CHEEXS Be Better Looking—Take Olive Tablets.

Dr. Edwards’ i Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel—yet have no dan- gerous after effects. They start the bile ang overcome constipation.

H ——no matter whom i hits or whom it hurts.” Matter of Justice, Senator Norris said: “In my judgment nothing has de- veloped that should change the com- mission's program. 1 see no reason why it should not push the case to the finish and put Mr. Mellen ana the others on the stand. It is a mat- ter of justice to the people that every fact in connection with the rotten operations that went on for years should be brought out.” Mr. Folk was asked why he the conference at Mr. McReynold'’s of- fice. When he hesitated about re- plying, Senator Norris said: “Well, I will tell you. He and Mr. MecChord left because they were prac- tically asked to do so by the attorney general.” Smiles and Remarks. Mr. Folk smiled and remarked: “As the senator has told you I will say that the conduct of Mr. McRey- nolds was such that we did not care to remain.” | At the present time it is the in~ tention to proceed tomorrow with the | examination of Mr. Mellen. That is | the judgment of the commission and | that probably will be the procedure. Dictated Following Statement. | Mr. Folk dictated the following | statement: “It is not a question of immunity, but of whether the truth shall be| suppressed, Mellen, as a witness, tell- | ing the truth would be a thousand | times more valuable to the public | than Mellen could possibly be as a ! defendant. | “The situation is now as it has been | from the beginning. It is insisted that ‘ | left | all witnesses having knowledge of the matters under investigation be placed on the stand, and they will be ques: tioned without limitation as to the | questions to be asked. The whole | truth will be brought out if it is pos- | sible to do so, no matter whom it hits, Honest Management Desired. “The great question before the American people today is to secure honesty in the management of the railway systems of the country. The revelations already brought to light in this investigation and the further dis- closures that Mr. Mellen and other witnesses can make should be of im- mense value and result in legislation that will cause it to be just as grave | a crime to plunder the public through a corporation as it is now personally to rob an individual.” At a conference today with At- torney General McReynolds, Mr. Folk pointed out that the commission, in the pending proceeding, was operat- ing under a resolution of the senate directing it to develop all possible facts concerning the financial opera- | tions of the New Haven and that, | manifestly, this direction could not be carried out unless witnesses were ex- amined who were cognizant of the facts, | Witnesses Are Excused. | When Examiner Carl Gartner | opened the proceedings today he an- nounced that all Wwitnesses, except | Mr. Mellen, would be excused until next Monday., Those excused included the directors of the New Haven, Lewis Cass Ledyard, Wm. Rockefeller, George F. Baker and George Mac- Culloch Miller, and Samuel C., More- house, attorney for the Billard com- pany. Mr. Morehouse is ill at his home in New Haven. Mr. Ledyard, who was present today, was given per~ mission to appear next Tuesday in- stead of Monday. Word was received from Mr. Baker that he was prepared | to appear whenever he was wanted. An adjournment of the hearing was taken until tomorrow. Mr. Mellen brought with him to | Washington a trunk full of papers re- | lating to transactions concerning which he will be questioned. Mr. Folk went over many of these mat- ters with him last night at his hotel, the two conferring until 2 o'clock this morning. { from the best fabrics that come from | the looms. | Ofticial of Portland, | are working in some portion of the | used in hauling teams isabout $4,00- At Seventeen Ninety-Eight | H. 0.

Soule, secretary of the department of overseers of the poor at Portland Me., has written a letter to several local people explaining the way in which the garbage question is cared for'in his city. Councilman Albert Anderson has received some information from him. Mr. Soule writes that since the city of Portland turned over the collec- tion of garbage to the department of which he is secreta;y.. instead of giv- | ing it to private individuals 23 in for- mer years, the results have been bet- ter. Collections are made twice each week- The idea worked out is that the city is divided into nine districts so that the drivers cover the entire city twice every seven days. They Me., vlains city every day, but it is so planned that they get around to the same places only twice each week. In Portland nine drivers are emn- ployed at $52 per month, thus mak- ing an expense of $5,616 for the wages of drivers.
