TO FORBID PLAY

entation of ''The Colonel and
His Friends"

Seattle, July 25.--A committee of
Spanish American war veterans waited
on Mayor Cottreill today and demanded
that he forbid the presentation of the

founded on recent trial in Judge
John E. Humphreys department of the
superior court and the actors will re-
peat the exact trial as represented by
a shorthand man. Among the characters
is Judge Humpty- Dumpty."
The committee presented to the
mayor that scurrilous references to the
American flag, the Spanish American
war veterans and the Daughters of the
Revolution were expected to be in the
PLAY
The mayor replied that he had no
authority to stop the show.

MANY APPLICANTS
FAIL EXAMINATIONS
List of Those Successfully
Answering Questions
EXAMINATION RIGID
. Applicants Had to Make Grade of rs
Per Cent-The Highest Grade
Made Was 92 by
w. M. Dury
EXAMINATION RIGID

Nearly 40 per cent of the SO applicants
for first and second class mill foremen
and fire boss certificates failed to make
the rs per cent out of a possible 100 as
required by law at the examination that
Z has been held this week by the state
board of examiners.
The applicants were required to stand a
written and oral test as to their knowl-
edge of practical mining and of the min
ing laws and regulations of the state.
Commencing Monday morning and con-
tinuing for four days the applicants were
required to answer questions propounded
by the board and to give written answers
to the written questions furnished them.
OF the successful applicants the highest
percentage was made by W. NJ. Dury of
Cardiff, who made 90 on his examination
for fire boss. George II. Darbyshire of
Bessemer was highest for first-elass
mine foreman with 80 and Marshall
Lavigne of BrooSside led the applicants
for second-class mine foremen with a
percentage of 50.
Majority Below Eighty
Possibly the majority of those granted
certificates were below so in the percent
age column with the exception of the
prospective fire bosses who made 50 or
better. c. H. Nesbitt, chief mine inspec-
tor and chairman of the state board of
examiners. states that the percentage of
failures is higher than any in recent
years. He attributes it, however to a
more rigid examination than to lack Of
preparation of the applicants.
The examination was held in the audi
torium of the Chamber of Commerce

ment to be recognized. were commu-
nicated informally to Mr.. Bryan, who
made no comment. He said be would
await his personal interview with the
ambassador before discussing these
subjects
Immediately after his conference
with the ambassador, Mr. Bryan is
| scheduled to appear before the Senate
committee on foreign relations further
| to present the administrations plan for
protectorate over Nicaragua but on
the same occasion, it is expected, he
will be asked to outline the develop
ments toward a Mexican policy. Mem
bers of the committee and the Senate
generally are strongly inclined towaro
some executive action by which all
factions in the Mexican dispute can get
arms from the United States
It was apparent tonight that the
| present policy of the administration
was to prevent all shipments of arms
to either pending final determination OF
this point.
viii Reiterate Views
1t is believed that after the Presi-
! dent and Secretary Bryan have oh.
tanned from Ambassador Wilson his
| own ideas and Interpretation of the DO.
| litical situation in the Mexican capital
| the American government, in a meas
ure will reiterate views expressed in
| the Latin American statement made by
| President Wilson shortly after his in
auguration. in which he proclaim ed
| that the United States has nothing te
seek in Latin America. but the wei
fare of its sister republics. With this
| IN mind, the recent suggestion of ar
American offer of mediation may be-
followed as an evidence of the gooo
int teniions of the Washington govern
ment. Information from federal as
well as constitutionalists sources to-
day, however. was to the effect thai
neither side would consider mediation
by foreign government. The national
pride OF the MeXicans. it was pointed
out, would not submit to Interference
in internal politics.
Should 1t develop that overtures of
the United States toward peace were
not favorably received it is expected
that the Washington government would
thereupon pronounce itself on the sub
ject of arms and ammunition, in all
PROBABILITY lifting the embargo SO that
all sides can buy munitions OF war.
Such development, it is believed in
many quarters here, would strengthen
the constitutionalist cause so as to
bring matters speedily to a crisis and
possibly result in a quick overthrow
OF the Huerta government. contin-
gency which many Washington Off
cials believe is inevitable though re-
ports of stfengthe ming of the federal
armies are being promulgated con
stantly by officials of the Huerta ad-
ministration.

Clue to Gate City Murder
This note the detectives and Chief
Bodeker think is direct cew to the mys
terious murder at Gate City on the morn
ing of May 26.
1t will be remembered that an unknown
man was found on the morning of May
&C. in Gate City, near the old rolling mill
with a badly fractured skull which re-
suited from blows with an iron coupling
pin which was found covered with blood
clots and pieces of hair of the victim
This murder has never been cleared up
although Acting Coroner w. s. Russell
and Coroner c. L. Spain spent an entire
: mcnth investigating, aided by the co
/, operation of the police and the sheriff's
office. Many times it was thought that
a clue had been found only to discover
that 1t bore no relation to the unknown
