Princeton Men GiUe
Clever Play at MurGt

Motion pictures of the campus of
Princeton College, class yells by the stu
dents and an enthusiastic audience added
pep" to the presentation Of the musical
farca, ''They Never Come Back" at the
Murat last night by the Triangle Club
Of Princeton. The entire production was
from the hands of undergraduates of the
college and the tuneful melodies and
snappy action had no favor of amateur
theatricals. The cast, made up of the
Triangle men, which included a number
Of feminine roles and a breezy chorus,
did splendid work
The formula Of a band Of scientists to
bring to life mummies Of Peru formed
the nucleus Of the plot. A series of com
phcattons caused by the ENHANCEMENT Of
a young American in love with a charm
ing young woman, with the band of IRE
vivers," and the vying Of members Of
the party with each other to prove that
each had discovered the marvellous life
giver, all went to make up a spicey,
laugh-prcdueing comedy.
J. E. Forgan led the cast and made a
hit with his cocky American freshness.
Among the other players were W. II.
Smith, an awkward bellboy; z. H
Viewer, the English savant, and L. P Yam
dell, F. 7. Corbett and z. Lloyd Smith.
IN feminine roles, all of whom interpreted
their parts in pleasing fashion.

with low waistline and sash girdle are all
favorites of fashion. The tracery of crys-

shows with stunning effect against the

BRYAN SAYS No
To NOMINATION
FOR PRESIDENT
Prohibs Get Refusal and
Advice From Ne
braskan.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 20-Leaders in
various delegations to the prohibition ma
tional convention Tuesday night declared
they will go into their first session We'd
nesday determined to name William
Jennings Bryan as their presidential
nominee. despite the fact that they nave
received word directly from Mr.. Bryan
that he does not want the nomination
and does not consider 1t advisable tor
the party to place ticket in the fetd
for the coming election.
The only thing that can avert an
attempt by a large group of delegates to
stampede the convention for Bryan and
name him by acclamation IS for the
Nebraskan himself to send word
that he positively will not accept
the nomination, according to many state
leaders. ~ telegram was sent To MT.
Bryan informing him that unless such
statement is Forthcoming his supporters
will attempt to carry out their plans or
placing him before the people on the
dryest platform that can be framed.
The decision to attempt to force the
nomination on Mr.. Bryan was made late
in the day at several secret conferences
Of national committeeman. delegates and
friends of Mr. Bryan here.
Monday the delegates appeared GER
tain that Mr. Bryan would accept. A
group of national committeeman later
were called into conference by Bryan
friends and confidentially informed that
the Nebraskan did not want the nom-
nation and that he did not want the
convention to nominate anyone, but
merely to lay plans for work in various
congressional districts and local cam
paigns The prohihitionists were told that
Mr.. Bryan felt he could carry only scat
tered districts in an election
Consequently. the Bryan boom died
down and the booms Of several other
candidates assumed larger proportions.
Later, however. additional secret CON
ferences were held and the decision
made to let Mr.. Bryan know that the
only way he could avoid being nomina-
ted would be to send direct word HIM
self to the convention.
