Miss Ethel Redfeld, n of the AN
didates for state superintendent, Wis
tied in Albion for n day. She spoke
in chapel Friday morning and was
warmly ~applauded by the students.
Members Of the conference were sorry
to see her leave for her experience
along many lines made her a valuable
participant in their discussions.
Miss Wilson from Ada county, gave
a splendid little chapel talk. She has
spent many years in this public SER
vice and the very presence of her Is
inspiring.
DR.. Sisson lectured IN the Auditor

one topic which should be near to the
hearts Of us all, on Idaho history.
Rather, a book of letters and stories,
the best of which may be called from
the files and memories Of our worthy
pioneers.

SMOOTH ON THE SURFACE, BUT

Boise. July 19.-The very latest po-
litical m at the state capital is
that C. o. Broxon, editor OF the Capital
News and secretary to Governor
Alexander Is being mentioned as
available timber for the Democratic
nomination for state treasurer. Two
years & Broxon was the Progress
sive nominee for that position and
led his party ticket. The candidacy
OF Broxon, II II materializes, would
tend to sidetrack Clarence Van Deu-
sen, the erratic individual who ran
on the Progressive ticket two years
ago for state auditor and now seeks
the nomination on the Democratic
ticket. Old line Democrats would
greatly prefer Broxon on the ticket
to Van Deusen and It Is hardly pro-
babie that both could be named.
There has been a revival of the eff
fort to force James ii. Hawley to run
for Congress on the Democratic ticket.
II is said to be engineered by Cover
nor Alexander, who is d~istrustful of
the attitude of Hawley Democrats to-
wards himself and wants the former
governor on the ticket to insure their
loyalty. II is an open secret here
that the Hawleyites are considering
IA wholesale desertion of Alexander,
as they are convinced OF the latter's
treachery towards Hawley In two
campaigns. Unless n Hawley man
is chosen for state chairman II may
be safely predicted they will fly the
pit, as the discrimination shown
against them both in state and fed
eral appointments by the Alexander
Nugent-P ence-Elder machine is bear
ing fruit. AS one good Democrat of
the Hawley brigade expressed II,
Care will be taken to see that Gov
ernor Alexander does not run ahead
of his ticket this time. II must be a
fight for he whole ticket and not for
n man. The party is bigger thar
simply being the tail TO the Alexander
kite" Interesting developments along
this line can be expected In the near
future. The gang will find the Po-
catello convention was a love feast
compared to what the meeting OF the
state central committee will be II an
effort Is made to put over a Nugent-
Alexander stool pigeon as state chair.
man. And on the surface things are
as smooth as a midsummer lake.

'UNCLESAM' IN
CAME WITH 4
STACKED HAND
Recent Alleged Social on
Government Reservation
In Limelight.
WARRANTS ISSUED
FOR FIVE PERSONS
No Objection to Cock Fights
But Ban Is Placed on

WARRANTS ISSUED
FOR FIVE PERSONS

''Uncle Sam" held a stacked hand
in an alleged game of craps, which
occurred Thursday, the 18th, at a
point on the naval reservation, though
the participants Of the game were
unaware of this fact until yesterday,
when United States deputy marshals
were as busy as the proverbial bee
in serving warrants and subpoenaes.
Some forty Of the latter were issued,
returnable instanter, and as the re-
suit of all this 'shurry up" work, war
rants for five were issued,
They were for Joe johnson on the
charge of selling liquor; preacher, =
alias Lindsey, colored, for selling
liquor; Kelsey Alexander, charged
with operating gambling table, and
Frank Jaconi, alias ''Dago Frank
and Fl. H. Brown fec gambling.
1t seems it has been the custom
for some months of chicken fancierE
to pull off mains at a point just across
Bayou Grande and a big one was
scheduled for last Thursday, with
game cocks here from many points In
Georgia, Florida and Alabama. There
was considerable money up on the
result of these scraps, but there was
no objection to this, for the law says
it Is only a violation to wager coin
on the skill Of man or beast, and a
game cock is not in either category
Thus the fight fans are IN the clear
but it seems, according TO the evil
dence in hand, that cock fighting was
bit too slow for some others anc
they ''throwed" the dice few times
while the government charges Joe
Johnson and preacher" served re-
freshments in the form of beer.
The cases will come up before tho
United States grand jury when it is
convenes early next month.

SEAMEN MAY
ENGAGE IN A
BIC Strike
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New YoTA, April 15.-Actlon,
which may be the forerunner Of a
general strike among seamen on
ocean going steamships, resulted to-
day in the American liner Mongolia
being delayed for several hours in
sailing and the New York and Porto
Rico liner Brazos being forced to an
Choir down the bay after leaving her
pier.
When the Mongolia finally sailed
it was explained a "truce" was eff
fected and some demands of the
strikers granted.
Aboard the Brazos notice was
posted by the crew, signed by the At
lantic division Of the International
Seaman's Union of America, of which
Andrew Furuseth is head. Furuseth
elaborated with Senator LaFoIlette,
in drafting the new seaman's act
The seamen demand twenty-five per
cent increase in wages known as 'twaz
risk" for sailors passing through the
war zones.

FUNSTON IMPATIENT OVER
PERSHING'S LONG SILENCl

San Antonio, Tex, April 15.-Much
impatience and some uneasiness was
manifested at General Funston's
headquarters today over General
Pershing's unbroken silence concern
ing the fight between American troops
and Mexicans at Parrel Wednesday
night. It became known today that
General Funston directed to General
Pershing last night communication
sharply urging him to expedite a re-
port on the Parral Incident, and on
operations in general. The last Off
cial knowledge here of his movement
was that he was expected to arrive at
Satevo approximately 80 miles
northwest of Parral, Tuesday night.
General Funston received from the
war department today long COM
munication, but he refused to discuss
its character. There was reason to
believe the substance of his latest re-
ports to Washington dealt largely
with the positions and activities OF
Carranza troops in Northern Mexico
and the failure of them and other
Carranza authorities to cooperate
more effectively with the Americans
in the pursuit of Villa.

Gen. Pershing In Over
Three Days.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, April 10.-The United
States is willing to agree to fix a
Limit on the distance American troops
shall proceed into Me,dco, and make
the limit not much further south than
the troops already have advanced.
The government also will give assur-
ances that the Americans will be with

time" or as soon as it is definitely
established that Villa has reached a
point where he can be handled better
by Carranza forces.
Wilson decided today to inform
Carranza the United States win nego-
tiate for an agreement along those
lines. This, it is said, was agreed to
at yesterdays cabinet meeting.
Meanwhile the pursuit of Villa will
continue.
Funston sent one dispatch today
saying he had not heard from Per
shing for three days, aad adding that
he was trying to get an authentic re-
port on the Parral incident.
