Since the first announcement was
made that the New York Coburn

much interest has been taken in the
event, and people have been anxious

dates. The Fine Arts club under
whose auspices the Coburns will Wis

the club will have the support Of the

The Coburn players are among the
country, for the company includes
dramatic artists, all of high metropol-
itan favor. In order that they might
come to Fargo, it has been necessary
for the business men Of the city to

HUERTA
MINISTER
Much Speculation Caused by
the Report of His
Appointment
NEDIATORS DISCUSS IT
Huerta Cabled the News to
Spanish Ambassador at
Washington

Washington, May 2.-Licentiate
Esteba Ruiz has been appointed min
lister of foreign affairs in the Huerta
cabinet to succeed Portillo Rojas, re-
tired. The Spanish ambassador here
was officially Informed of the appoint
ment by cable this morning. He COM
municated the appointment to the
mediators.
Ruiz was formerly under secretary
10 Portillo. He assisted in the media
ton negotiations, it is authoritatively
stated, but the change will not affect
continued progress of mediation plan.
Ruiz has been referred to as prob
able Huerta commissioner in case the
mediators proposed a commission to
represent all parts Of the controversy.
The Spanish ambassador, Riano,
carried the cable announcement to the
Argentine legation and the mediators
were at once called together and went
into conference. with the Spanish
minister taking part.
Outside of the mediation conference,
the bearing Of Ruiz appointment
caused widespread speculation. The
fact that he had been mentioned as
a probable Huerta commissioner in
case there was a commission to settle
the entire trouble, let to the belief that
Ruiz would pursue the same friendly
policy that Portillo has shown in the
negotiations.
But in some quarters it is felt that
Huerta himself is directing affairs
with a strong hand and that Ruiz Isl
more amenabIe to Huerta's direction
than Portillo. 1t is pointed out that
according to the Mexican constitution,
the minister of foreign affairs succeeds
to the presidency in case of the presi-
dents retirement when there is no vice
president, as is the case now in Mexi-
co. Hence Portillo was next in line
an dnow Ruiz is in that position for
the presidency.

for August:n DAILY and Richard Mans
field, as we'll as many of the import
ant scenes for recent plays.
One play which they will present,
The Canterbury Pilgrims, is particu-
larly adaped to the open. The char
acters Of this production are those
mentioned in the Canterbury Tales of
Chaucer, as Pilgrims to the shrine of
Thomas A. Beckett. and the great poet
himself, Chaucer, is included in the
cast.
Electra, the tragedy which will be
presented, is similar to Macbeth and
Hamlet, in it's story. The play is per-
meated with Greek intellect, which has
dazzled the world and saturated the
Greek religion.
The third play will be Shakespeare s
AS You Like 1t, which is familiar to
all, and will prove to be wonderful
production, given in the open.
Besides these three plays, a pageant
will be given on the first afternoon,
followed by an exhibition Of the
Morris dancers. Following the custom
of ancient time these dancers will
perform classic and old English folk
dances. These dances will be given
just as they were given by the lads
and lassies on the village green in
Shakespeares time.
The Coburn players need no formal
expressions Of praise. Their names are
synonymous with the best there is in
the acted drama. They appear annu-
ally at nearly all the universities and
colleges throughout the United States,
going south in the winter and north in
the summer. Their coming will lend
not only distinction to Fargo, but the
surrounding country as well.
