Guests of King George at Windsor
Castle.

LONDON, May 20.-Nearly 500 en-
thusiastic collectors of postage stamps
assembled here today under the presi-
dency of NJ. P. Castle, for the British
Philatelists' Congress, and for three
days the wonders of the pictorial eff

will be discussed, classified and cat
alleged.
King George, who is keen collec-
tor, and who possesses one of the fin
est collections in the world, will not
attend, but he has invited his brother
philatelists to visit Windsor Castle

royal collection, which is now being
catalogued at Buckingham palace, will
not be on view, but the king has prom
ised to publish his catalog as soon as
it is finished.
A reception tonight, a banquet to-
morrow night at the Trocadero restau-
rant, and a garden party on Friday at
the Sevenoaks residence of President
Castle, are included in the program.

Trolly Lines Cause Trouble

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Counsel
Joseph Folk requestioned former
President Charles S. Mellen of the New
Haven road at length at today's ses-
sion of the Interstate commerce
Commission regarding the 100000 in
notes given by the Boston Herald, a
newspaper, to the New England nav
igation company, and later turned
over to the Billiard company.
Folk tried to show the connection
between the loan and the passage by
the state legislature of the bill au-
thorizing the New Haven road to take
over the Boston G. Maine road. Mel
len denied that the New Haven forced
the passage of the bill.
Mellen said that the real trouble in
the New Haven Boston & Maine merg-
er was the latter's ownership of troll
ley lines. This he said started the
original criticism of the amalgama-
ton. The witness also denied that the
profits resulting from the deal would
exceed $2,OOO,OOO.

JUNIOR CLASS TO
PRESENT PLAY
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WILL
SHINE IN "TRELAWNEY OF THE
WELLS" FRIDAY NIGHT.
Production VIII be Staged at the Uni
yersity Auditorium and Promises
to be a Splendid Success.

On Friday evening, May %, the jun
Pinero's "Trelawney of the Wells" Il
is an unusual play in the class o.
comedy it presents and promises with
the present cast to be wonderful
success. The play will be staged al
the university auditorium.
In the female parts much unexpected
talent has been uncovered. Miss Dor
othy Ellis has undertaken the role of
Mrs. Teller and Miss Amelia Brown
that of Imogen Parrott. Both are do
ing very we'll and much of the success
of the play will depend upon them for
the clever Interpretation of those
characters.
Miss Dorothy Taylor plays the part
of Miss Cover, Vice Chancellor Cow
er's sister. She shows clear IN
doubt be well received on the evening
of the 22d. Miss Beth Soulen as Rose
Trelawney is the heroine Of the pro-
duction and her Interpretation of the
part is all that could be desired. Miss
Audrey Carr and Miss Lesetta Lublen
are the female comedians of the cast,
Miss Carr as the portly jewish lodging
housekeeper and Miss Lubken as the
clever soubrette with an actresses re-
gard for her husband.
The principals among the men are
Mr.. L. F. Stone, Mr.. Seth Freer, the
cranky old vice chancellor, Mr.. H. G.
Nuffer, the eminent green grocer of
Rosamon street; Mr. Arthur Jardine
as Cover the son of Vice Chancellor;
Mr.. Paul Peterson as Ferdie Gadd; Mr. |
Cammack as Colpoys, and Mr.. Pond as
Teller.
The production is being managed |
by Mr.. Stone and some revelations in
the line of ne wscenery and costumes
are promised. The play is the tenth
annual dramatic event of the junior
class and much more effort is concen-
trated on it than the average pro-
duction put on in the auditorium.

FRENCH TO QUIT
IS FALSE STORY
IDAH0'S CONGRESSMAN REFUTES
STORY THAT HE WILL BACK
OUT OF SENATORIAL RACE.
Matters of Interest to Idaho People
Transpiring in the National
Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 90 Especial. y
All Idaho story that Congressman
French will abandon his race for Uni
ted States senator has just reached
Washington and was promptly refut-
ed by Mr.. French. Mr.. French said:
please say that there is not the
slightest foundation for the story that
will not be a candidate for United
States senator. This story has doubt
less been published innocently, but
was probably started deliberately by
the bureau that appears to be work
ing overtime in trying to misrepresent
me before the people of Idaho.
'Since l made my announcement
the assurance of support from all over
the state have been so overwhelming
that | believe l shall be nominated for
United States senator"
Smiths Bill Reported.
The committee on public lands of
the house has favorably considered
the bill introduced by Representative
Smith of Idaho giving preference right
of entry to prospective applicants
applying for the designation Of land
for entry under the enlarged home
stead act, and has authorized Repre-
sentative French, who is a member of
the committee, to make the report to
the house.
This is one of the first bill intro
duced by Representative Smith at
the opening of the present congress
and he has been active in creating
sentiment in it's favor Under the ex-
listing law those who seek out desir-
able locations and make application to
have the land designated for entry
under the enlarged homestead act
have no assurance that they can en-
-er the land in the event it is thrown
open to entry, as a stranger who first
teaches the land office could enter, |
although he may have expended no |
ime or expense in having the land |
The proposed law does not disturb |
he present method of making applica-
ion to have land designated, but sim
,ly protects those who take the in
tiative in having the first chance to
make an entry on the land selected.

l stand for the law, will obey it and
make it respected by others, high and

boards, commissions and duplicating
officials, and less surplus help in
State affairs; for simplifying the work
of the government and eliminating eX
pensive fads and frills; for the shorter
ballot, and it's complement, the strict
respons. .bility and accountability of
the officials through the recall; and
for greater publicity in affairs of gov

their ability to make this a prosperous

markets, as far as possible, and in
uniting our water powers and raw

in adjusting freight rates so as to pro-
tect Idaho manufactures instead of

SIDELIGHTS ON
MEXICAN TROUBLE
VERA CRUZ CORRESPONDENT
WRITES OF SOME OF THE HAP
PENINGS IN THAT SECTION.
American Newspaper Man Fled Mexico
City and Started Paper
There.
By Bernard Rucker

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
VERA CRUZ, May S.-By Mai1) -
Proposes mediation in difficulty be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
That was the caption in recent edi-
tion of the Mexican Herald over the
story of Argentina, Brazil and Chili's
offer to try to settle the Mexican dif-
ficulty and Secretary of State Bryan S
reply which Secretary of the Navy
Danials wirelessed to Rear Admiral
Badger. The typographical error
caused many laugh in the American
colony and more "watchful waiting"
was predicted The Mexican Herald
| is the first English newspaper ever
published in Vera Cruz. Hudson, it's
owner published his paper in Mexico
City until he was forced to flee the
capital. He Immediately bought a
press here and issued his first paper
on Friday.
The publication of the "a B. c." Of
fer caused much dissatisfaction among
the naval men and Americans here
They Immediately conjectured that
the move meant a lot more delay.
Killed Mexican Girl.
The shooting by Mexican snipers of
a 16-year-old Mexican girl in a street
near the Plaza was one of the most
pathetic incidents of the two days
fighting.
In the fighting the little girls fa-
ther was killed and she became sep
arated from her mother. Two Red |
Cross men found her alone, frightened |
and crying in a house which they !
searched. Placing the girl between
them, the Red Cross men started with |
her to a place of safety. On the
down the Avenido Independence
snipers fired ON the party and the
girl was instantly killed. So far as
known she was the only female killed
in the fighting.
12-Year-Old Boy Killed.
Another shocking incident was the
Killing on the third night of 12-year-
Did Spanish boy. At 1880 that night
he patrol went through the streets
all natives to stay in their
louses. The Spanish boy was told by
lis father to stay indoors but when
