COED. SHED AT
WEARING TIGHTS.
WHY UNIVERSITY GIRL DIDN'T
APPEAR WITH BERNHARDT.
With Other Students Accepted as
supers, She Was Deemed Lucky, but
When She Was Cast as a Page She
Sized up the Costume and Said s'No."

Commanded to array herself in alb
breviated costume, including regulation
stage tights, university senior girl
last night refused to carry out the or
ders Of Sarah Bsrnhadt' s stage man
ager. AS a result university students
in the audience missed one familiar face
among the thirty student "supes, J"
girls and boys, who had jumped at the
opportunity to occupy the same stage
with the great French actress. ~
In the crowd of warriors, monks, at
tendants, flower girls and pages there
were many faces familiar on the uni
versity campus, but the visage of the
senior maiden was not in the list and
she watched the performance disconso-
lately from the wings. =.
When it was announced on the uni
versity campus that thirty students
would be given an opportunity to
"supe' during Sarah Bernhardt's Min
neapolis engagement crowd OF qunl-
versity girls investigated that matter
and upon finding that their appearance
on the stage would not entail any loss
Of academic dignity they seized the
change for a lark. Applicants outnum,
bered the Hsupe' positions open and
the students who were admitted thru
the Auditorium door last night consid.
cred themselves unusually lucky.
In Tights? Nevaire!
All went smoothly until the stage
manager announced that one Of the two
girl pages .-of the company had been
taken i'll and the part would have to be
| filed by one of the "supes.'' The sen,
! ior girl was selected and she was the
envy of her classmates until her cos:
tune was produced and it was found
that she would be required to don
trunk hose. -
The transition from stately cap and
| gown to the costume Of page was too
much and the stage manager was CURLY
informed that he would have to look
elsewhere for a Iage. At first he was
inclined to make things unpleasant, but
the fair "co-ed' was backed up by a
solid line of sister supes and the mana
ger faded under the scornful glances
of the determined goods.
AS a result Of his capitulation the
rebellious senior was permitted to occu
Pr seat in the wings, and altho she
was not included on the payroll when &
half dollar wage was issued to the uni
versity twenty-nine, she saw Bernhard
at close range and escaped the stage
fright which threatened to thin the
ranks of the supernumeraries just be
fore the curtain went up.

Dissension in the ranks of the So

day. s session of the party's state con-
vention at the hall at 1928 Nicollet

twenty friends who were expelled from
the party last summer were the source
of the trouble, which extended into q
discussio noccupying a greater part of

nearly a unit for reinstating the Lucas
faction. The American and English
speaking delegates were in favor OF up
holding the action already taken. A
feature of the meeting which caused
much loss of time was the necessity
Of having remarks and speeches trans
lated by interpreters. When an address
was given in English, it had to. be
translated into Finnish for the iron
range delegates and vice versa:
Cary D. Thompson in an address op-
posed the reinstatement Of the Lucas
element. He stated that Lucas has
attempted to have the state executive
committee so. constituted that Mime
apolis and ST.. Paul locals would be
able to dictate to the socialists thru
out the state. . ~

MRS. STOIBER HONORS
CITY OF HER BIRTH

Henry Deutsch, representing Mrs.
Lena Allen Stoiber, today presented the
board of county commissioners with
two large, beautiful panel pictures, re-
productions of the mural decorations in
the. state capitol, entitled ''The Source
of the Mississippi" and Minnesota,
the granary Of the world. -
The donor of these pictures was born
on the site Of the courthouse and city
hail. Her maiden name was Lena Al
len and she was brought up in Mime
apolis and is still loyal to her birth
place. Fortune has smiled upon her
and she is now spending most of her
time in travelling. At present she is
in Paris
Mr.. Deutsch, in his speech Of pres
entation, said that Mrs. Stoiber' s 10y
atty to the -four city had caused her
to conceive the idea Of showing in this
modest way her love and appreciation
of the honor of having drawn her first
breath on the site of the beautiful
building.
The Commissioners accepted the pic
lures with thanks and will hang them
in some suitable place yet to be- de,
cided.

BULLET FLIESP0 SLEUTH
POLICEMAN, SHOOTING TO SCARE
FUGITIVE, SENDS LEAD INTO
DETECTIVE sTAVLO's FLAT. -

Police headquarters in the city hall
came within half an inch of being
draped in mourning today for one Of
"the fnest.'' =, AS it is, some of the
hair Of the department is still on end
with the scare. The cause of all the
trouble was in police court charged
with disorderly conduct. -.
Yesterday being the anniversary Of
the birth of the father Of the country,
Victor Hanson proceeded to pour divers
and sundry ibations to. the memory Of
a. full-grown and combative "bum. -
At the city hospital corner he was
tossed with more force than care from
an Eighth and Central car, the incident
calling to the surface all his pugnacity.
Seeing a lone pedestrian on the opposite
corner. Hanson girded his loins and
set sail. Arriving before the lone
collection Of shorta a1t labs %haeh
Police!'
Officer Bevans heard the call and,
with visions Of capturing highway
robber, took the trail and soon had his
quarry hard pushed. Hanson took ref
uge in the Bristol flats, Fifth street s,
between Seventh and Eighth avenues
Tho heavily loaded he made good time
to the dark hall on the third floor
closely followed by the officer.
At this point the department had the
close call. Detective John Stavlo has
set up his lares and penates in the Bris
toll, and was at home. Bevans was
taking no chances, and to intimidate
his man, fired one shot into the dark
ness. Hanson was not injured, but the
! flying bullet took straight path into
the Stavlo apartments, missing tho
"Genial John'' by half an inch. Stavle
states positively that he measured the
distance and that he felt the heat from
the bullet as it sped by his head.
| Hanson was arraigned in court today
| charged with disorderly conduct, an(
given a $40 or ten-day sentence.

max that was very damaging to the
state. Max Kohen was the witness, and
owing to his sickness, the entire court

The witness is pawnbroker and tes-
titled that Webb came to his store

was committed and put up his guitar
as security for his revolver, on which

He said Webb appeared excited and that
he took the gun, went into the back OF

stand and his wife seemed to be the

word spoken by the witness.
Webb showed himself something Of
an actor and in reply to- questions of
his counsel told with gestures and con,
