Mrs. John J'issen, first vice-president of the club, presided. The principal SDeaker was Mrs. Lucia Faxon Additon. of the W. C. T II. . who discussed social and economic problems. She also said she hoped to fee women among the delegates to the National conventions. Miss Grace DeGraff discussed the 3ord peace junket and expressed sen timents hostile to reporters. Miss Mary Harper, who was elected for five terms in succession as County Kchool Superintendent of Washington County, Idaho, made a neat little speech on the good results from woman suf frage in Idaho, and her own political experiences, which, she said, she would Tiot have missed tor a good deal. She was especially applauded when Fhe said: "I don't think that being in politics has made me much different from other women. Perhaps it has raused me to wear common-sense heels ut I still like to have a pretty rose Jn my hat. Mrs. Maria L. T. Hidden has left the Progressive party In the lurch and Joined the Democratic party. She occu pied a prominent seat on the platform and spoke at length on the sanctity of X-'emocratic party principles and her candidacy for the Legislature on the TJemocratic ticket, after Isaac Swett had declared that she ought to be a candidate.

MYERS BAGKIN FOLD FORMER PROGRESSIVE KAYS 7SO IVEEIJ KOW OP NEW PARTY, Believing; Republican Party Pursed of Misguided Leaden, Political Ao clate of Lincoln Returns, Levi w. Myers, who was one of the candidates for Presidential electors on the Progressive ticket in 1912. reg istered yesterday as a Republican. "In returning to the old party I want my friends to know that I do not yield one lota in the progressive principles that caused me to leave the party four years ago. But I believe that the Re publican party now has been purged of the misguided leaders that caused the Progressive party to spring up in 1912, so there is no present need of the new party. -'If the Republican party nominates a man of progressive tendencies at Chicago, a man like Hughes or Roose velt or Cummins, he will be elected. But as sure as they nominate a re actionary President Wilson will be re elected." Mr. Myers is 86 years of age and is one of the oldest Republicans in the country. In fact, he was a Repub lican before there was a Republican party. That is. he advocated the prin ciples upon which the Republican party was founded, back in the early '50s. He was editor of an anti-slavery paper in Illinois when it was dangerous to advocate opposition to slavery.- His fearlessness on that issue brought him into prominence at the time. He was a political associate of Abraham Lin coln in those days and attended sev eral conventions with him. With the exception of his drift to the Progressive party four years ago he always has maintained his party reg ularity and is proud of his record. Ambassador Page to Take Rest. WASHINGTON', March 20.

Fake Jewelry ConffMcated When Kirt Street Storekeeper Was to Become Owner on Payment of 950. Two confidence men. who said they were tailors, were arrested yesterday by Detectives Koyle, Vaughn, Hellyer and Tackaberry in a well-planned de nouement. The pair specialized in fake jewelry, say the detectives. Several days ago. it is declared, they made the acquain tance of -George Weinstein. a store keeper of 319 First street. They showed him purported treasure in the form of flashy jewelry, set with stones which they assured him were diamonds of the first water. For- a number of studs, earrings and other trinkets a bargain was struck. Weinstein was to pay them $250 for the Supposed gems. The prospective purchaser confided the proposed transaction to the Detec tive Bureau and the surprise was planned. The expected victim led the confi dence men to the United States Na tional Bank, and drew out the required1 currency. Arrived at Fourth and Pine streets. one of the men walked arounA the block, explaining to Weinstein that he was going for the jewelry. He re turned. The money was produced, the gems glittered also the eyes of the operators. Then the four officers sauntered up and closed the comedy The prisoners gave their names as Herman Stein and John Ross. lery preparation, but were easily re pulsed. Two hours later the Russian artillery began shelling the German positions furiously, especially south ward of Wichnevskie Lake and north ward of Postavy. Nevertheless, the re sults of this drum fire were remarkably slight. Thereupon the Russian infantry pushed forward in thick masses to within range of the withering fire of the German machine guns, which played terrible havoc with them. The Russians fell in heaps. None of them lived to reach the German entangle ments, although, the lines range only between 80 and -400 yards. Southward of Narocz, where the Ger man line bends, making flank fire pos sible, 3000 Russian dead were counted. The Russians continued their attacks there all day, but .made no further serious attack at Postavy after their first repulse. Notwithstanding this de termined fighting, the report says that the Russians are showing less than their former recklessness in sacrific ing troops. The German losses are described as astonishingly slight and the spirits of the troops are excellent, there being a sense of relief in the serious work after a long period of inactivity.

RUSSIAN'S ATTACK FURIOUSLY Berlin Regards Move as Kffort to Relieve Pressure at Verdun. BERLIN, via London. March 20. The Russian offensive which began last Friday is, according to dispatches from the eastern headquarters, evi dently a serious attempt to relieve the pressure at Verdun. Between Lakes Dreswlaty and Wichnevskie the artil lery began range finding Friday and infantry attacks began Saturday morn ing in strong force on all parts of this section of the front. Northward of Postavy and at several other points heavy divisions attempted surp ria attacks at dawn, without artU- Former Orpheum Stars Are on Pro gramme and Each Number Wins Meed of Pralve. There's not one dull moment on Pantages" bill, and not one act that doesn't please to the uttermost. The headline is a musical comedy with a consistent plot, and there are other numbers good enough in quality to be headliners. The Boarding School girls present an animated picture of schoolgirl life that is true to facts. Tommy Allen, a clever girl of the Charlotte Greenwood type, is the hoyden of the school, and there are four others. One of these is a modest little violet sort and it is in her room that the happenings occur. The girls come in to have a "spread," and a big, bold man in evening clothes accidentally gets in. The girls sing and dance in pajamas and keep the fun a rolling until the principal comes. Then there's hidings in closets and under beds, with naughty Tommy Allen getting soused on ginger ale and en livening the scene. The act is really one of the keen, clean, merry sort, the singers and dancers give good accounts of themselves, and Miss Allen is too clever for mere words. Frank Huyler, as the man in the case, is entertaining. So is Gene Pol lard as the lady principal and one lit tle bitsy girl with a lispth. . Fletcher Norton and Maud Earl, for mer Orpheum stars, delight with their bright little song sketches with dance trimmings. They present a dream of tango, a brilliant bit called "The Coster's Serenade," and a clever com parison of dances in the minuet days and in modern times. They are excel lent dancers, with new steps and a Joyous care-free method. A delightful act, presented bv two genuine artists, is that of Reed and Wood. The former is a basso, whose splendid ig voice brings rounds of applause. Miss Wood is versatile, and sings a bit, dances, too, and plays the piano in fine style. Their act is full of pleasant surprises and has a person ality punch. An act that brings smiles and rouses much enthusiasm is a sketchlet called "The Misery of a Hansom Cab," with Al Field, a clever comedian, appearing as a cab driver; Arthur Jarrett as his fare, and Eddie Voss as the front legs of a polka-dotted calico horse. Mr. Field has a lot of new chatter and the act is refreshing and funny. ! v Anita Heyman sings high-class bal lads in a sweet high soprano. Opening the bill are two extraordi nary acrobats. Cook and Rothert. They offer a departure from the usual in acrobatics and unload a lot of comedy in their act. u lYERsnr AY IS AS HEAD IS SEATED F6rmal Installation Ceremony of Dr. Suzzallo Due Today Before Many Notables. DR. BUTLER HONOR GUEST DEATH BLAME IS FIXED Coroner's Jury Considers Lack of Protection From Power Wires. The Coroner's inquest into the cause of the death of Emil Gustafson Thurs day, was held last night in the Public Morgue and the jury returned a verdict that "Emil Gustafson came to his death by accident last Thursday afternoon as a result of coming in contact with a high yoltage wire on a pole at Twenty sixth and Nicolal streets. We. the Jury, further recommend that some ac tion be taken as to the cross arms, that low tension wires shall not be less than eight feet from those carrying high voltage."

Speaking to the alumni, Dr. Butler said: "A university is not a material thing set out on a campus. It. is a spiritual thing, a conception, an ideal. The alumni voluntarily become members ot the university and that membership is something which can never be termin ated or surrendered. You are not only members of the university; you have become members of the great uni versity historic tradition." Women Are Guests. Late in the afternoon wives of visit ing delegates, the women of the faculty and alumnae of the university were guests of the university at a reception.

Capen, of the United States Bureau of Education; Dr. H. J. Inglis, dean of the department of edu cation of Harvard University, and many others.
