GOVERNORS TALK
 10 THE PRESIDENT
Governors Ammons and Spry Tell President of Faults of the Leas-
 ing System. ''

WASHINGTON, April 23-President Wilson today received the western governors who yesterday appeared before the Public Lands committee opposing the government leasing plans for mineral lands, and he lis- tened carefully to the statements made by Governor Spry and Cover nor Ammons, who told of the loss in mining development in the states of Utah and Colorado since the new leasing plan had been started sev- eral years ago.
 The governors pointed out to the president the certainty that large de- posits of low grade ore would not be opened by private capital under the leases offered by the government, as in many instances millions of dol lars are invested prior to the open ing of mine, and this capital will not do unless assured 'of protection :. and freedom. from interference by of .fcious agents of the Department oft the Interior.
 The president made no comment upon the statements Of the westernsrs but VIII make a ;sc caEetpl '.E inyeatiga- tion of the charges. ,, <

Smart RepIv.

The captain OF certain troopship
conveying British cavalry regiment
to the cape was noted for his wit, and
at every opportunity that offered he
loosed his shafts of humor, to the
chagrin and embarrassment of their
targets. Sooner or later the singer
gets stung, however, and this chronic
pun-artist was no exception to the
rule.
On one occasion, when about two
days out from port, he approached
a group of soldiers who were swab-
bling the forward deck, and, singing
out big, raw-boned Irish recruit who
was experiencing his first taste of
sailors life, he gravely asked:
Can you steer the mainmast down
the forecastle stairs ?"
Quick as a flash came the reply:
yes, sor. l can, if you will stand
