. Here’s success to the new Yale
lub 'oi'BostOn to keep alive the
alc Spirit within the shadow of
Harvard. One of its first tasks
hould'be to revise the Yale song

irge beginning:
"Oh, more work for the under-
taker,” and ending with a diabolic
roan for Harvard. After this has
een done, or perhaps coincident-
lly with the efforts made In this
irection, it will be incumbent up—
on Harvard to banish from its
' ‘Iusical repertory that equally
wicked ditty concerning
“To lI—ll with Yalel".
In this way the" Yale spirit

and the bill abolishing capital pun-

the capltal'punlshment bill. The com.
ably the measure substituting life lIn~
prisonment for hanging in all convict-

sharp light before the committee on
the matter. and the committee was

support of thoumiuorlty was fragmen-

argument with‘ a forcible expression

law was too sweeping as proposed, and
the House rejected the bill almost nu.

An Important measure that was pas-
sed was the bill providing a penalty
for kidnapping, a law that has long
been needed In this state. The ori.
ginnl measure provided for life 1m
prisonmont for the crime. but the com-
mittee decided on a thirty yenr maxi
mum as a substltute. and this was pas-
sed In both Houses.
Sunday baseball was also rejected III
the Home. there being no support of
the bill.
An important step taken by the as
sembly this week was the move to
shorten the session this year by de-
voting all Fridays hereafter exclusive-
ly to committee hearings. Previous
to this your Friday has been II com-
paratively quiet day.
One of the most interesting com-
mittee bearings held this week was

Mr. Uhle did not want his oblts jump
