STEPHEN REGAIN NAMED
SEED COMMISSIONER
BY dean CARLYLE

Stephen Regan, son OF Mr. and Mrs.
Alvin Regain and well known Boise
young man who graduated from the
agricultural course at the state uni
versity last week with high honors,
was yesterday appointed to the position
of state pure seed commissioner by
Dean Carlyle, head of the agricultural
department OF the university. who is
empowered by the legislature to make
the appointment.
Stephen Regain is q native of Boise,
attended the Boise schools and gradu-
ated from the Boise high school in 1910
with high honors. The year following
he entered the state university to take
the agricultural course and has fol-
lowed 1t thoroughly and during his uni
versity career made special study of
seeds. School officials, acquainted with
his record, state there could be no bet
ter man In the state for the position.
During the corn exposition held last
winter at Dallas. Tex. Regain had
charge of the Idaho seed exhibit and
was highly complimented on the able
manner in which he displayed the
produce and explained the seeds. Mr.
Regan's appointment was made solely
upon his competency and those ac-
quainted with his work at the univer-
sity feel that he will make an enviabie
record in the position, which Is an Inn
Iportant one as Idaho is yearly increas-
ing heavily tn Its seed productions

put into the game the best they had.
Their play, though. lacked cohesion and
team work OF the British and despite
individual dashing play they were
clearly outclassed.
Americans Play Desperately.
The eighth period opened with tho
British triumphant and the Americans
desperately trying to even up the score.
But all their efforts yielded only one
goal by Milburn, while the furiously
playing Cheape scored two more for
England. The final score was, Eng
land S14, America 3.
Working like one man, the British
backed the marvellous work of Cheape.
who put ZIP such an article of polo as
probably was never bested on any
field. Flashing here and there. Cheape
drove his ponies into the very thick OF
the press with a daring and abandon
which was almost reckless. Straight
lifting drives. backhand strokes or hard
grass cutters, which carried like rifle
shot, were all one to him.
When the clouds of dust were mark
ing the departing hundreds of auto
mobiles and the crowds filed out to the
trains, the impression was general that,
failing redistribution of the Ameri-
can team. or an unexpected improve
ment in their play, only one more con-
test will be needed to send the West
chester cup back across the pond"
William A. Hazard, secretary of the
National Polo association, voiced the
! feeling of the crowd who saw today
battle when he said after the game:
/ "All | can say is that the English
played the better game. had better di-
rection, longer distance in their driv-
ing and plays together far better than
the Americans. 1t was An off day

Cheape, riding like mad, had driven
through the second goal for England.
In the second period La Montague
captured the ball and passed 1t to
Monte Waterbury, who scored fist for
America. Both sides were then penal
ICED half q point for fouls by Captain
Cheape and Larry Waterbury, leaving
the score, England IA, America n.
The third period yielded another goal
for England, Captain Tomkinson, NO l,
scoring. During a hot melee near the
British goal, Captain Lockett, however,
drove the bail over his own goal line
This was safety and counted one
quarter for England. This left the
score, England "a, America "a
Scored Again in Fourth.
In the fourth period Barrett and
Lockett scored again and Monte Wat
erbury pushed through second goal
for America. This ended the half with
the score. England Az, America Ia.

second half will tell another story.

ball e-sawing forward and back

ponies followed IL like dogs whirling
and straining in the chase of the pellet
while their masters swung and bent
like leaves in the wind. But only one
goal was scored. Tomkinson made
that. He drove the ball through with
q beautiful backhand stroke, carrying
the pellet right from under his horses

vent an offside play. The sixth period

and Monte Waterbury scoring. La

Vera Cruz Faces Famine.
Washington, June 13.-Vera Cruz
faces a famine So serious is the sit
uation in the Mexican coast city that
1t overshadowed tonight all develop
ments in the mediation negotiations
Acting Secretary of War Breckenridge,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield and
the chiefs of quartermaster corps, held
a three hours conference today on the
subject. They finally put the question
up to General Funston. A caiblegram
was sent to him announcing that the
United States was ready to relieve the
situation.
What do you want; how much and
when?" said the cablegram. The trans
ports now in Galveston harbor will be
utilized and rations to keep 1000 people
30 days will be purchased from the
emergency fund OF the war department
as soon as Funston outlines just what
he needs to relieve the situation.
Meanwhile the mediation situation
continued to look extremely promising.
The search for a strong man, one who
can handle all problems pending the
holding Of a constitutional election, Il
is believed, is certain to succeed.
Secretary Bryan tonight declared that
even the doubling Thomases" were
becoming convinced that war will be
averted. Foreign diplomats seem to be
taking the same view. Several have
been asked, to report that they believe
the ultimate placing In control of Car
rama will follow. The majority have
reported only "superman can sue
coed and they intimate they do not be-
lieve that Carranza is that man.

Majority of One in the
Court.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 1s-By one

sustained the Illinois limited Suffrage
act of 1918 and the cause or SUFFRAGE
set forward tremendous pace when the
Illinois legislature conferred upon the
million and a half women or the state
The right OF franchise. maintained the
greatest advance in its history.
Ruling in the test case OF ScoWn
versus Czarnecki, the court held TO-DAY
that the Illinois legislature haa the
right to give women the FRANCHISE on
all offices created by statutes ana not
named by the constitution ana an on
questions OF public policy not restric'-
ed by the constitution to men.
Four Republicans voted against
three Democrats in sustaining the Ia"
presenting one of the most striking
political anomalies in Illinois history.
The suffrage law was enacted py
Democratic legislature and signed by
a Democratic governor Poltlclahs

for the alignment.
Justice Dunno, Republican, wrote the
opinion, which was concurred IN oy
Justices vickers, Carl Wright ana Car :

been expected to vote with the Demo-
cratic members. Many declare MS
personal view is opposed to woman
suffrage.
Justices Craig. Cook and Farmer,
Democrats, upheld the contentious OF
the appellant complainant showing
that the suffrage law is unconstitu-
tional In that while 1t purports to be
entirely a distinct and separate act, IL
In reality is amendatory to the general
election law and should have been en-
acted as such, and, second, that the
legislature cannot legally give women
the right to vote upon officers and all
propositions and questions" submitted
to vote of the people as provided in the
act
Special Dissenting Opinion.
Justice Farmer filed special dis
senting opinion in which he further
declared that earlier statutes giving
women the right to vote Tor schooi
Offices is also invalid, holding in both
cases that the constitution of 1870 does
ukt contemplate women voting
fThe great single effect of the de-
cjsion is to validate the votes Of WON

far reaching public policy question:
which yet has been submitted to fran
chise. It sustains to votes of womer
in elections held last April in more
than a thousand precincts OF the state
in many of which the Women's ma
jorities overcome wet majorities.
