INVITES
GOV. SMITH TO CALL
Any Day Of First Three in
Week Specified in Tele-
gram of Executive.
b stan Correspondent Of The star.

By Stan Correspondent of The Star.
WHITE PINE CAMP, July H.
President Coolidge has invited Gov.
and Mrs. Smith Of New York to call
upon him here either Monday, Tuesday
or Wednesday of this week. The tele.
gram was sent Saturday. but up to the
moment no response has been re-
ceived.
Word from Albany had been to the
effect flrst that the governor would
be here at the end Of this week, and
later on July 20. but. without intend
ing to be brusQue, the position has
been taken here that the governor
could not call without an invitation
from the White House.
There rs no misunderstanding or
hard feeling, 1t was stated. but the
President is stickler for the proprie-
ties, and this Is another case in which
they have been observed. No mention
was made in the message to the gov
ernor of his uniformed staff, which AL
bany dispatches indicated he intended
to bring with him because he regarded
the call to welcome the President to
New York, State as State affair.
The Presidents invitation to Gov.
and Mrs. Smith was for luncheon.
There is the best Of feeling between
the two officials. When it was an.
nounced the President was coming
here, the governor wrote the Presi-
dent g. warm letter Of welcome. The
President responded in like terms.
In thus carrying out White House
social forms. the President indirectly
at least has shown the Governor OF
New York that there are presidents
and practices connected with the high
Office for which he is supposed to be
an aspirant that may even be confus-
ing to q Governor of New York, who
generally has to get along without
an expert on etiquette.

QUIET IS RESTORED /
At KANSAS PRISON
Mutineers to Resume Work
Today, Except Few Who /
viii Be Questioned.
b the Associated L pre...

By the Associated Press.
LANSING. Kans., July 12.-Quiet
prevailed today at the Kansas peni-
tentiary, where 375 prisoners Satur-
day ended a self-imposed imprison-
ment In the depths of the coal mine,
hoping to enforce certain demands
Work in the mine will be resumed
today by the regular force, except a
few who will be held for questioning,
It was said last night at the office
OF Warden w. III. Mackey. Only part
OF the S75 men in the mine at the
time of the mutiny are believed to
have been actively implicated. These
win be punished under prison regula-
tons.
The men who had spent SO hours
at the 73O-foot level Of the mine were
ready enough to sleep on the prison
hunks last night, minus sheets. One
Of their demands had been the release
Of several convicts held In solitary
Confinement for q demonstration
earlier last week. staged because new
sheets had not been provided for the
hunks. This was impossible, warden
Mackey explained, due to lack OF legis-
lative appropriations.
H. p. Duncan and B. J. Black,
two of the IS guards held captive by
the mutineers, commented on the
good order maintained in the mine.
All the guards were kept in one ire
cess of the mine, with two Of the
mutineers on guard, not so much, the
mutineers said, to keep the guards
from doing anything. as to prevent
them from any hotheaded conyicts.
The guards were unarmed.
Warden Mackey believes an impor-
tant factor in inducing early SUR
render of the mutineers was the
word from Gov. Ben s. Paulen direct
ing him to inform the prisoners there
would be no compromise.

Gated by the district attorneys once.
Although Ormiston appeared volun-
farily after Mrs. Mcpherson dropped
