PRICE FIV _ .;ti-- - 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 (Continued on Page Six) IMMENSE SUM NEEDED TO MAKE U, S. NAVY SECOND SYRACUSE HANDS MICHIGAN FIRST DEFATAT HOME ORANGEMEN TRIM VARSITY BY COUNT OF THREE TO NOTHING EACH TEAM GETS FIVE HITS Visitors Go to Lansing to Meet . A. C.- 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.

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.

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.

Ge rard, the American ambassador to Ge many, called on Herr von Jagow, th German foreign minister, to recelv from° him Germany's reply to thk American note concerning submar warfare, Washington, May 4.-Germany wil not yield unconditionally to Presiden Wilson's demand that she "declar and effect an immediate abandonmep of her present methods of submarin warfare." The situation wasauo itatively described tonight as cri Ambassador Gerard has sent tore cast of the demanded Jply, an though he regards it as favorable, I is so involved and indefinite that el ther President Wilton nor Secretar of State Lansing was able to form clear conception of what Germany' position really is. This in itself has made somewhat 0 an unfavorable impression on th President, who insists on definite an unequivocal assurances that the sr marine menace to non-combatnts is mediately cease. According to t forecasts, however, that have reache Washington, the imperial governmeu apparently stands firm in its deterrn ation to treat armed liners as wa ships. Germany also makes its restrictio on submarine operations dependent o concessions by the United States, b what these concessions are is not clea Above all it is not yet clear whethe Germany will hold its submarine ope ations in abeyance pending discusslo of conditions to which it desires tli United States to assent. Secretary Lansing said this afte noon that Mr. Gerard's dispatch wa so poorly cabled that it was impossib for him to say what it meant. He di not know whether to regard it as fn vorable or otherwise. The same i formation came from the White Hous Officials explained tonight that muc depends on whether German's illega submarine attacks in the war zone a suspended during the discussion whit' the German government wishes to in tiate. Mr. Gerard's cable makes i general reference to suspension submarine warfare elsewhere thani the war zone. The German note co fines itself to restrictions and modil cations of proclamations of the Ge: man admiralty of February 4, 1915. DE LLOYD JHOMPSON IN FA Spectacular Aviator and Companl Drop 600 Feet; Both Injured Roosevelt Denies That He Applied. This Sobriquet to Hughes New York, May 4.-Colonel Roose- velt did not call Justice Hughes a "justice hypocrite." It had been re- ported that the Colonel had applied this sobriquet to the associate jus- tice of the supreme court, and today the Colonel issued a denial of that statement, which was published in a morning paper. The exact phraseol- ogy of the words the Colonel was al- leged to have made use of was, "that justice hypocrite." "This," said the Colonel, "is just as preposterous as if it had said that Mr. Hughes called me a Dutch reform dinosaur. One statement would be just as true as the other and just as ridiculous."
