DRESS REHARSAL
ASSURES SUCCESS
OF PAGEANT SCENES
OBSERVERS NOTE ELIZABETHAN
ATMOSPHERE IN TONIGHT'S
EVENT
STAGE IS WOODLAND GLADE
Dancers Move Smoothly Through In-
tricate Figures; Seat Sale Points
to Large Audience
"I have produced more than 75 plays
and pageants," said Prof. Herbert Al-
den Kenyon, director of the Shake-
spearean pageant, to be given in Hill
auditorium at 8:00 o'clock this even-
ing, "but I believe that "The Queen's
Progress" surpasses them all. It is
certainly one of the largest pageants
to be staged in this part of the coun
try in connection with the Shakes.
peare Tercentenary, and as far as I am
aware, nothing like it will be produced
by any other college or university."
From the moment that the two tall
men-at-arms entered upon the stage
to the last mystic whirl of the Goddess
of Night, the few observers present at
the first dress rehearsal held last night
were aware of the quaint glamour and
charm of the Elizaethan age.
The stage of Hill auditorium is set
for a woodland glade, one of the most
mammoth scenes ever produced, re-
quiring the use of 2500 yards of can-
vas. To the right of the stage is
the throne of the queen, garlanded in
flowers.
The intricate figures of the peas-
ant, court, and fairy dances were well
worked out, the dancers exhibiting a
grace and ease of movement which
promes well for tonight's perform-
ance. Not a little of the pleasing ef-
fect is due.to the elaborate costumes
employed. The pageant will not be
of longer duration than an hour and
a half, but all the best loved and most
familiar scenes in Shakespeare's plays
will be portrayed.
The records of the seat sale for the
past few days give every promise of a
capacity audience. The box office in
Hill auditorium will continue to dis-
pose of the remaining tickets, begin-
ning at 9:00 o'clock this morning.
Prices range from 50 cents to one
dollar.
JUDGE LINDSEY SERIOUSLY ILL
Noted Denver Jurist Operated on for
Tumor Last Week
Denver, Col., May 4.-Judge Ben-
jamin Barr Lindsey, of the Denver Ju-
venile court, who has made a national
reputation through his adjudication of
juvenile crime, lies critically ill at
his residence here. 'About a week ago
Judge Lindsey wasoperated on for
the removal of a tumor from his chest.
Since then his condition has gradually
grown weaker.
Judge Lindsey was born November
25, 1869, in Jackson, Tenn., and was
admitted to the bar in 1894. He has
served as judge of the juvenile court
of Denver since 1901. He has been
noted for his sytem of putting boys
convicted of crime on their honor, and
only five out of several hundred have
betrayed their trust. He has written
numerous articles for magazine pub-
lication. .
SENATE PASSES RURAL CREDITS
BILL; HOUSE TO AMEND ITT
Washington, May 4.-The Senate
passed the rural credits bill this af-
ternoon by a vote of 68 to 5. The
measure now goes to the house. It
is believed certain that it will be
amended there and will have to be
dealt with by a conference committee
of the two houses.
George Sisler to
Get Big Ovation
More Than 300 Students Expected to
Witness Detroit-St. Louis
Game Today
With over 250 tickets already sold
for the George Sisler Day baseball
game in Detroit this arternoon, Michi-
gan is sure of a big delegation at to-
day's contest.
The committee on arrangements an-
nounced last night that they expected
more than 300 students on the special
Michigan Central train which leaves
Ann Arbor at 12:30 o'clock this noon,
since there are always a large num-
ber who decided to go at the last
minute on a proposition of this nature.
The committee purchased a gold
watch for George yesterday afternoon
and the presentation will probably take
place when Sisler comes to bat in the
first inning. Ball players ordinarily
strike out under these trying circum-
stances, but George is so far from an
ordinary ball player that everyone
will be looking for something of a
different nature.
Just' who will present Sisler with
the timepiece had not been definitely
decided last night but it is probable
that one of his former professor's
in the engineering department will be

Today; Return for Game
Tomorrow
Michigan sustained her first defeat
of the season on the home lot when
Syracuse conquered the Wolverines by
a score of 3 to 0 in a pitchers' battle
yesterday afternoon.-
Both teams secured five hits, but
the Syracuse apportionment came at
more opportune momens and therein
lies the tale of Michigan's defeat.
Both twirlers distributed the hits even-
ly, neither team managing to get more
than one in any single frame, but the
Syracuse allotment came at the psy-
chological moments and three of the
visitors crossed the plate. Two other
aspiring Orangemen were checked at
the platter, "Billy" Niemann's -splen-
did throw from right field nipping one
of them, while "Tommy" Thomas
threw out the other. Caswell's hur-
ried throw to "Tommy's" corner was
low and it eluded the third baseman,
but he recovered and chucked out the
runner at the plate when he became
overly ambitious and tried to score.
Michigan's best chance came in the
sixth inning. Niemann opened th'
frame with a single to right. Harring-

Repulsed
Paris, May 4.--The new French po-
sition at Le Mort Homme, which re-
sulted from the gain made in yester-
day's attack, was enlarged and con-
solidated last night. Today the Ger-
mans bombarded violently both Le
Mort Homme and Hill 304, and also
sent out a small infantry attack
against certain of the trenches taken
by the French in the counter offensive.
This attack broke down under the
French barrier fire.
The French took the offensive today
in the Argonne region with activity in
the Bois de Chetty, and gaind the ad-
vantage in mine fighting at La Fille
Morte. A strong German reconnais-
ance was repulsed near Apremont,
east of St. Mihiel yesterday. In the
vicinity of Les Parges on thheights
of the Meuse, the French exploded a
mine effectively.

Washington, May 4.-It will cost
the United States $791,441,207 to
climb back into second place among
the naval powers of the world. This
is the estimate of the general board
of the navy transmitted to the Re-
publican members of the house naval
affairs committee and considered by
them tdday as a basis. for a proposal
to enlarge the building program sug-
gested by the administration.
* This total includes the cost of build-
ing ships, the cost of the additional
personnel required for one year, and
the cost of general stores and ammu-
nition for one year. In it is also in-
cluded the cost of expense items on
the ships noy in commission and
outlay to equip the ships now build-
ing and authorized. The general
board estimates, according to figures
submitted to the naval affairs coi-
mittee, that the United States must
have six dreadnoughts and 10 battle
cruisers to exceed Germany's navy.
In addition it must build 78 coast
submarines, 30 destroyers and 21
scout cruisers. For aeronautics, a
lump sum of $7,000,000 is proposed.

Washington, May 4.-Three Ameri-
cans and one Spaniard were killed
near Rosario in the state of Sinaloa in
a recent anti-American outbreak in
Mexico, according to advices filed with
the State department through Sena-
tor Fall, of New Mexico. This inci-
dent is one of scores that have just
begun to come to the notice of the
State department as the first fruits of
Mexican resentment against the puni-
tive expedition.
Advices today from El Paso gave
details of the murder of P. H. Holly,
an American rancher, 15 miles north-
east of El Rucio, near San Antonio,
Mexico. Holly and his ranch foreman,
a Mexican, were slain the night of
April 29 by Villistas, because he acted
as scout for American troops who went
to Holly's ranch to rid it of bandits.
Atrocity Occurred April 3
The atrocity in which three Ameri-
cans were killed occurred April 3. It
is related in a letter from V. H. York,
a mine operator in the territory of Te-
pic. The letter is dated Mazatlan,
state of Sinaloa,rApril 12, and has just
arrived in Washington.
York and three men companions
were convoying a party of women and
children to Mazatlan from the interior,
in obedience to warnings from the In-
dians that the countryside was in-
flamed over the invasion of Mexican
soil by American troops, and the party
was ambushed. York himself would.
have been killed but forathe pleading
of the Mexican women and the chil-
dren. The Americans slain were S.
C. Burke, Walter Wallace, and Roger
Davidson; the Spaniard was Carolina
Rodringo. Their bodies were taken in-
to Rosario on a handcar and delivered
to President Wilson's special agent at
Mazatlan and buried by the American
colony there under the supervision of
the American consul.
Wilson Approves Tentative Agreement

tonight instructed by Secretary of War
Baker to notify General Obregon, Car-
ranza minister of war, that President
Wilson entirely approves of the ten-
tative agreement drawn up at the bor-
der between the officers.
The President tonight issued a state-
ment saying that he had examined
with the secretary of war the reports
made by General Scott of the confer-
ences. The report includes a tentative
agreement covering the futilre opera-
tions of both the American and Mexi-

this sobriquet to the associate jus-

the Colonel issued a denial of that
statement, which was published in a

"This," said the Colonel, "is just

Mr. Hughes called me a Dutch reform
