PASSENGERS SHOCKED
Visions of Titanic Disaster When Ship
Struck Sleeping Whale.

= LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-Passengers
on the big turbiner Harvard are re-
counting an encounter with a whale
off Point Sur, when the sea monster,
apparently asleep, drifted across the
ships bows as she was plowing full
speed ahead. The shock of the col
lision brought visions of icebergs and
derelicts to those who rushed to the
decks and saw the whale floundering
in the ships wake.

TO RENEW ARMISTICE
Balkan Situation Still No Nearer S0ln-
tiOn Than Before.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Bucharest dis
patches say the Balkan peace repre-
sentatives will probably renew the
five days armistice signed by Greece,
Servia, Bulgaria and Montenegro as
no agreement for settlement of the
troubles have yet been reached.
1t is believed the conference will be
lengthy as the representatives OF
Greece, Servia and Montenegro have
prepared territorial demands, which If
granted, will leave Bulgaria only 80
miles of coast line on the Aegean sea.
The allies demand cash indemnity
from Bulgaria.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 2.-President
Wilson is determined to settle the
Mexican situation in his own way. He
has dropped bomb in the camp OF the
HjingOists" that caused considerable
excitement today. Remembering his
assertions some time ago that there
was an "insidiOus lobby fighting the
tariff measure, little believing he could
stir up the trouble that has already re-
suited, his new threat today is caus-
ing considerable speculation in cer-
tain quarters.
The president believes that certain
''jingoistic" congressman are seeking
the limelight in embarrassing the eff
forts to restore order in Mexico. 1t is
reported that unless they change their,
methods Immediately the president
will issue public statement fixing the
responsibility.
Bryan Flags Newspapers.
There was a fiat denial that the re-
quest to congress was looked on as
the first step toward intervention in
Mexico" as certain morning newspa-
pers declared, the denial coming from
Secretary of State Bryan.

ing papers attempted in putting a
scarehead construction on my request

AWARDS MADE AT
SWEET PEA SHOW
MRS. JOHN F. YOST CARRIES OFF
FIRST HONORS-MRS. M. E.
LEWIS SECOND.
Exhibition at Club Rooms Was Ex-
cellent and Attracted Many Wis.,
itOrs During the Day.

First prize award of $40 for the bes1
collection of sweet peas was awarded
to Mrs. ]. F. YOst-
Second prize of $5 for the next best
collection Of sweet peas was awarded
to Mrs. NJ. E. Lewis.
The awards at the second annual
sweet pea show were made this after
noon, the Judging being done by L. R.
Scott of the Scott Bros. nursery.
1.-THE flowers that were displayed
today would have been credit to Spo-
kane or any other city that boasts of
it's beautiful gardens" said Mr.. Scott.
The display entered by Mrs. J. F.
Yost contained 12 distinct varieties
of sweet peas and was an easy win
ner of first honors. Mrs. Yost's col
lection contained nothing but flowers
of the Spencer variety and their ar
rangement could scarcely have been
improved" said Mr.. Scott after being
informed that number "9' which he
had awarded first prize, was her dis
play.
The display entered by Mrs. M. E.
Lewis won second ,honors. being in
ferior to Mrs Yost's in variety and ar
rangement of colors. Mrs. Lewis
were somewhat wilted, the show be-
ing a little too late in the season to
find them at their best.
The experience gained through to-
days sweet pea show will, thinks Mr..
Scott, do much toward improving the
flower gardens of the city. 1t should
encourage the elimination of many of
the poorer varieties and lead to a
more careful choice of flowers. OF
the flowers displayed today the
Spencer variety was by far the most
popular and many gardens next year
will include none other.
To the ladies' auxiliary of the cham
Der of commerce belong the credit for
the successful sweet pea show held at
the rooms of the chamber of commerce
today where hundreds of people view
ed the splendid displays of the delic-
cately tinted and fragrant flowers that
with such profusion at the
homes of Moscow people.
The exhibition today was the second
annual event and was fully up to ex-
pectation. Considerable interest had
been taken in the event and the exhibit
ton warrants statement that the
sweet pea show will be a permanent
annual affair in Moscow.

NO SELECTION MADE

MONTHS.
FROM CHAIRMAN
Idaho Educational Board Now Directing All Its En-
ergy in Getting the Right Man for the
Position.

BOISE, Aug. "A president of the
University OF Idaho may not be select.
ed for two months. Such was the
statement just made here by President
w. S. Bruce of the state board of edu-
cation. He says that the board is de-
voting much of its energy just Mt this
time to the securing OF the right man
for the place. Other work, he says,
along various lines is being done al
so, but the selection Of a president of
the leading educational institution of
the state is the important work that is
pressing upon the board. 1t is thought
that a selection may not be made for
two months.
Some of the educators of the state,
notably Superintendent Meek OF this
city and Superintendent Siders of Po-
catello, feel that they have been
placed in a false position by some of

lowing the election of Dr. Sisson as
of education, mention

eral splendid exhibitions that had no
been entered for prizes. Perhaps one
of the finest displays on exhibition
was that of Mr. Warren Truitt, presi-
dent of the auxiliary, who has taken
a keen interest in the affair. The col
lection of Mrs. Truitt's was for ex-
hibition purposes only and were some
of the choicest blooms from the gar
den at her home where she has de
voted much time and care in growing
the flower. One of the varieties is the
orchid sweet pea, one of Burpee's s
latest, a most beautifully tinted law
endar flower.
Some Private Displays.
Among the private displays was a
bunch of the perennial sweet pea from
the garden of Mrs Agnew which at

Cost of st. Anthony School.
President Bruce feels it incumbent
on the board also to make brief
statement with reference to the Ida
ho State Industrial school at st. An
thony On this point he said:
"On account of various criticisms
which have been spread around re-
garding the expense of conducting the
school at st. Anthony, the
board has gathered some statistics
from other states in the west, fer
The result shows that
our school is run at as low propor-
tionate cost as any of the six other
schools. In the matter of salaries
alone we are paying on the average

Money for Stock Show.

The Lewis county board of commits
sioners has appropriated the sum of
$3.50 to the Northwest Livestock show,
an annual event at Lewiston. The ap-
preparation was made because of the
great benefit of the show to the stock
industry of the Northwest. Lewis
county stockgrowers' regard the show
as one of the best features ever in
augurated for the benefit of the in
dustry and for that reason the county
board made the appropriation.

Opinions differ as to the feasibility
Of having plants in a bedroom. How
ever, almost all authorities agree that
plants and trees, through their leaves,
absorb obnoxious gases and give on
oxygen, and that plants require a gas
called carbonic-acid to promote a
rank, luxuriant growth. The gas thus
breathed by the plants il poisonous to
air-breathing animals. including man,
and as 1t is also given out in the
