Dr. Sisson declared that a true American culture could not be attained except upon the basis of American prin ciples.

"We need someone to write an Amer ican Homer from the "abundance of material in early American history and tradition." he said. Speech Is One of Thirty. Dr. Sisson's address was one of 20 interesting addresses at the college yesterday. Two thousand visitors di vided their time between the speeches and the exhibits during the morning and early afternoon and then all gath ered outside for the festivities held in connection with the conference. For two hours the crowd watched the dances and exhibitions on the lawn. . The faculty children, under the direc tion of Jean Wolverton and Edna Ache son, gave the favorite fairy story. "Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs." Hiss Wolverton dramatized tne story and it was acted by the youthful per formers, ranging from 4 to 10 years old. There was no public announce ment made of the performance, but in spite of this a crowd of 590 heard about it and gathered on the lawn where the children gave the play. Elizabeth Torrey played the part of the Wicked Queen. Ruth Griffin was Snowwhite. and Russel Foster was the gallant Prince who saved Snowwhite from the wicked designs of the Queen, and at the end claimed her for his bride. Women Give Trances.

QUIET RETREAT SOUGHT Former Manager for United: Wireless Ieclared to Hare Engaged Prl- ' rate Entertainment ' on Ex elusive Hotel Scale. SAN FRANCISCO, May 1G. (Special.) F. A. Stokes, former candidate for the Democratic . nomination for Lieutenant-Governor of California, aspirant for Rough Rider honors and a local bond expert, was made defendant in a suit for a board bill brought today by Miss Wilhelmina S,chacht, of Berkeley. Miss Schacht declares that Stokes, who is Frederick F. Stoll, of New York. Chi cago and Minneapolis, seeking a quiet and retired residence, went to her home in Berkeley in 1910 and offered to pay her on the standard of exclusive hotel rates. She thereupon dropped all other business and devoted herself to caring for the Stokes family. Effort Made to Raise Reglnunt Immediately prior to that time, she says. Stokes had left the employment of the United Wireless Company, hav ing been district manager in Minne apolis. The company fi that time had just been involved with the United States Government. Stokes -is now living in this city. When the war flurry with Mexico started a few weeks ago Stokes took advantage of the time. and season to enroll men for a militia company.

He disappeared in July, 1907, when two women claimed him as their hus band and sought to get into communi cation . with another wife in -Chicago. Mrs. Louise Stoll. the Chicago wife, who supported her two daughters, refused to prosecute. SOCIALISTS FIGHT PREMIER Salandra Is Pivot of Campaign. - in ItaHan Parliament. ROME, May 10. Not content with" having brought about the retirement of Premier Giolitti, the 80 Socialist members of the Parliament . have pledged themselves to fight for the immediate downfall of his successor, Premier Salandra. The fight against Salandra,. how ever, is to be even more bitter than was that against Giolitti. It - is the determination of the Socialists not only to caute-nhe downfall of the Ministry, but to cause its downfall with such a thud that the dissolving of the present Parliament' will be necessary and the consequent election of a new one. The motive for this fight of the Socialists lies in their conviction that Giolitti's retirement was not .in good faith. They insist he merely stepped down at the critical moment brought about by the war in Tripoli, and when his prestige might have suffered by the solving of the situation. They say he created Salandra Premier as a tem porary substitute and that it is his firm intention to come back into power the moment he can do so with the undimmed prestige that has been his in the past.

Twenty-sixth and Raleigh streets, the barkers will bark as they never barked before for tomorrow there comes the first performance of the 1914 engagement here of the Sells-Floto Circus and Buffalo Bill. Incidentally, too, it is the first en gagement here of the circus in' its present shape. For in the years that have gone, the circus was merely a circus. This year, however, there is a mixture which never before has been seen in this country a whole circus and a whole wild West show all put together under the canvas and at the head of it all, the greatest wild West man of them all, Buffalo Bill, him self. Buffalo Bill takes an Important part in the performance of the Sells-Floto-BuffaLo BiTT circus now. At the very start there comes tho roaring, reverber ating sound of his voice as 'he rides around the hippodrome track, saliAing his old friends once more from the saddle. And from then on, the circus BOTABIAN ROSES, WIVES AND SISTERS OF MEMBERS" OF THE ROTARY CLUB MAKE DECIDED HIT OF JINKS. T i i I. I -Aa '"JfiV- - - r sN w ;vLOkk " f VrV a- . -v -vrV v vi ' , !

Although the existence of the Rotary Roses as Rotary Roses was only contemplated for the occasion of "The Ladies' Jinks" at the Commercial ' Club Tuesday night the success of the Jinks was so pronounced that the Roses will hardly be allowed to" sink into oblivion. At any rate they will be in evidence in their pink dominoes and roseleaf caps during the Hose Festival. Much credit is due the women who conceived and carried out so pretentious a programme. From the rise or rather lowering of the cur tain for the chorus of the Topsy Turvy Opera Company, in which the -Roses' slogan, '"You Can't Get Away From It." was; made the refrain, to the peanut and the lemon race, everything went as smoothly as a professional vaudeville act. The blaok-faced monologues of Mrs. E. K. Scott were amusing and clever. Tha song and dance act of Miss Marjorie Pike and Miss Myrtle MacLean was snappy and finished. is far different from the usual routine of the "great show of the white tops," for in the rings and in the hippodrome, the wild West and purely circus acts are mixed until it' takes a cross-eyed person, with the ability to look two ways at once, t see it all. In the great steel arenas, wild ani mals are performing. In the rings, there trot about the white, broad backed horses of the equestriennes, while out upon the hippodrome track Tex McLeod, champion of the world and others show their prowess at rid ing and roping. Or, to use the words of the enthusiastic press agent: "It is a cachlnating combination of cunning, cuteness and care. Winsome, winning lasses, laughing their light headedness, show the advantages of the tripping terpslchore while daring, dashing, devils, defy distance and dan ger. Hordes of 'howling, hurdling saucy savages salute and salaam. Fer ocious, forest ranging, roving beasts display their" but what's the use of going on with it? "The whole gist of the matter is that the Sells-Floto Cir cus and Buffalo Bill are coming with acts that never have been seen before, with the good old fashioned popcorn eating elephants, with the -roaring lions and all the other essentials which should go to make up a regular, "great est Bhow in the world" performance. That includes, of course, the 40 clowns. Naturally, with all these things to offer, there'll be a paAde. That will come at 10:30 tomorow when the down town streets will be traversed by the gaudy wagons and the blaring bands, with a sample of about everything in the circus on view, and the whole pro cession will be led by Buffalo Bill himself. FINANCES - DELAY CHINA Yuan Slil-kai's Government Faces Crisis, Foreigners Say. PEKIN, May 9. That Tuan Shi ICai's government is faced with a seri ous financial crisis is the opinion of a substantial body of foreigners in Pe kin and the treaty ports of China. These men predict foreign " financial control or a foreign public debt com mission. The difficulty of the situa tion "is that the President and his sup porters are, up to the present, unable to obtain money from the provinces for administrative requirements of the central government. A letter to the President to the Tutuh (military gov ernor) of Hunan; accompanying a remittance of 1200,000, contains an in teresting statement of the case from a practical Chinese point of view. Tang Msiang-Ming, the Tutuh, says: "Of late the country has been in a turmoil of civil strife and frontier troubles, and scarcely a day has passed without some military operations. After your excellency suppressed the internal troubles and made peaceful settlements with the powers, the first thing that attracted your attention was the finan cial administration. Foreign loans have been resorted to to relieve the coun try's financial embarrassment, but ow ing to the fact that the terms of the foreign syndicates were too harsh, some patriotic people have suggested ways of colleoting taxes while others proposed a retrenchment policy. But all these specious words and theories can do no real good to the country. "During this critical period there seems to be hardly any remedy for the country's financial troubles. When 1 read the documents from the central government stating its financial diffi culties and the orders of 'your excel lency, I gave vent to my grief in eobs and tears, like everyone else who has the sense of patriotism "We are in duty bound to relieve the embarrassment of the government.. If the provinces do not - help. ' national bankruptcy will result and the nation will-lose its independence. And if the nation is obliterated, how could the province of Hunan exist alone. "It should be borne In mind that the financial condition of Hunan is quite different from that of other provinces. It would be easy for other provinces to raise double the amount. Our remit tance, though "not large, is sufficient to display our patriotism and anxiety over the situation. (Signed) "TANG HSIANG-MING." MRS. SHEPHERD "DOCKED" Former AVard! of AY. B.
