When tho members df'he Carter Lake
club, formerly the Rod and Gun club,
entered tho grounds Friday, when the
formal opening: wai hold, they were
struck with amazement over the change
which had been .wrought In the place
during the lost year. For the first time
the club took formal possession ot the
new Grounds, which were purchased from
the Crelghton estate for $60,000.
The old pavilion did not appear the
same as last year, In fact It had been
Temodeled and. made Into a very attrac
tive club house, .with a first class kitchen
and dining room on the second 'floor.
Tables were also arranged around the
porch, which was exposed to the cooling
breezes from the lake.

With histrionic talents seldom displayed
In amateur theatricals, members ot the
senior class of the Omaha High school
presented "She Stoops to Conquer" at
the Boyd theater last night Admiring
parents, brothers, sisters and friends of
thoso who took part, alumni and friends
and students of the school literally filled
the playhouse. Few shows staged at
that theater have been greeted with
greater signs of appreciation than Oliver
Goldsmith's comedy as presented by the
high school students. The audience
seemed to forget the heat ot the night
through the greater Interest in the pro
duction and gave full vent to their feel
ings of admiration for the players and
the delights of the amusing play.
The players acquitted themselves won
derfully. What especially was notice
able was their interest in their own lines.
They seemed really to enjoy the humor
ous situations ot the play and the laugh
ter which usually sounds forced in ama
teur performances in this had a ring of
real fun. They put the full spirit into
each role, and if there was any stage
fright those who suffered deserve double
credit for being able to act above it, for
it did not show. Unusual, too. In the
presentment of the piece there was no
forgetting at least no audible prompting
-and the participants caught their cues
without an instant's pause, showing
thorough memorisation and training,
oldsmlth's story was well told by them.

fireplace In one corner, appropriately
decorated, A first olass buffet for tho
use of the members only Is situated In a
secure corner ot the first floor.
Tho old dance hall has been remodeled
with a new floor and will be used this
year for the regular weekly dances of
tho club. One of tho many new features
of the grounds is a canoe shed, which1
will hold over 200 canoes. A canal from
the lake has been built along side ot
tho canoe house, making It possible for
canoeists to bring their boats up to the
door. A now bath house, with over GOO
lockers has been built along tho water's
edge and Is partitioned for the use of
both sexes.
An artesian well has been sunk way
pie and the properties were perfectly
dandled, allowing the players to inject
much ot the good business ot the play
which they did creditably.
The cast for tho play had been well
placed. The students had been chosen
for the varioUs roles evidently by ono
experienced In seeing natural qualifica
tions tor characterizations, with the re
sult that no particular one stood out
from the rest as a star; they were all
stars.
By the nature of the play, however,
there were those who were seen more
than the others and consequently had bet
ter chances to display their ability. Of
these there were John Hanlghen, Car
lisle Allan, Leslie Uurkenroad, Kenneth
Craig, Doris Duncan, Edda Sullivan,
Hanna Kopland and Kathryn Crocker.
Leslie Uurkenroad had many lines to
read and he read them all well. He has
a good carrying voice and possesses a
stage presence that equipped him well,
tor his role. Kenneth Craig, too, had
an important role. His delineation of
the character of young Marlow was good
throughout and he showed up extra well.
by his penetrating, effective stage whls-'
pers and the business of abides. Johnu
Hanlghen in the difficult character ot
Tony Lumpkin was also a central figure r
and was equal to the occasion Carlisle.
Allan held up an Important link In the
story with creditable ability.
Edda Bulllvan as Miss Hardcastle put
a deal of merry spirit into her charac-A
ter which called for that and presented!)
all the good elements ot a role that was 11
not easy. Miss Hanna Kopald, Mtssf)
Kathryn Crocker and Doris Duncan were
delightful In the readings.
In a word the entire- cast almost suc
ceeded in the impossible that quality ot
acting which can submergs one's own
physical self and traits of personality
into foreign ones before the eyes of close
associates.

PEACE AT LASTIN BALKANS
Delegates ot Turkey and the Allies

spoiled" of Just Share
of Loot.
LONDON, May 31. Tho eight months'
war between Turkey and the alllod Bal
kan states Is elided. The "Peace of Lon
don" was signed yesterday In the gallery
ot St ilamea palace.
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretory, presided over the formalities.
The following peace delegates signed the
preliminary treaty: Osman NIzamt
Pasha for Turkey, Dr. Daneff for Bul
garia,,. Stcjan Novakovitch for Servla,
Stephanos Skoloudls for - Greece and M.
Popovttch for Montenegro.
Tho only dramatic feature of the his
toric' occasion was M. Popovltoh's ex
pression of keen disappointment that
Montenegro had "been despoiled of Its
Just share of tho spoils -of a triumphant
war" and ot the hope that "England,
which took the lead in the spoliation."
.would take oVcry step to compensate
Mbntengrq "for Its sacrifice.
Slsrn Without lien din ir.
The actual ceremony was very brief.
The delegates signed tha treaty without
reading it, evidently In full confidence
that all the seven articles wer In such
wording as the powers chose to have
them.
The Bulgarian delegates proposed thai
peace become immediately effective with
out ratification of the treaty. This pro
posal was rejected and the delegates then
left after having agreed to meet June 2
to consider the advisability ot an even
tual annexed protocol.
After informing the ambassadorial con
ference of the signing of the peace draft,
Sir Edward Grey suggested that the con
ference limit Its discussions to three
questions: A constitution for Albania,
tho delimitation of fho southern frontier
ot Albania and the status of the Aegean
islands.
Await Further Instructions.
The .ambassadors now are awaltlnsr fur.
ther Instructions from their governments
regarding a constitution for Albania, but
tho conference is working in great har
mony and expects to conclude Its labors
by the end of June.
Tho relations between the Balkan at.
lies show a distinct Improvement. The
proposed meeting between the Bulgarian
and Servian ministers Is now definitely
fixed to take place on the frontier to
morrow evening. The latest suggestion
for a settlement of the quarrel between
the two countries Is that Servla and Bui
garla renounce the old treaties and r in
clude a new alliance providing for a Joint
administration of Macedonia.
CREIGHT0N IMPROVEMENT
CLUB ON PUBLIC QUESTIONS
At the regular weexiy meeting of the
Crelghton First Addition Improvement
club . the election of officers resulted as
follows: W. I. Hoopes. president; W, II.
Hatteroth, secretary, and W. J. Peterson,
treasurer.
Reports ot the various committees were
heard on matters of particular interest
to the residents of tho southwestern part
of the city.
The proposition of seven street car fares
for a quarter was discussed, and, while
no definite action was taken, sentiment
stmed to favor better servloe and exten
sion into districts not now served rather
than a reduction of farts.
Telephone rates were dtsousscd and the
sentiment was that Omaha is suffering
under the burden of high rates. The dis
cussion resulted in a special committee
being appointed to investigate rates pre

LONDON, May 81. An attempt was
made tonight to set fire to the Royal
academy. Although the usual "votes for
women" placards were not found, the
police suspect that militant suffragettes
were responsible for the attempt to de
stroy the building, In which are housed
some of the world's greatest works of
art.
Shortly after the exhibition closed for
the night a watchman discovered In a
small' room on the ground floor a card
board box filled with rags and cotton
saturated with oil. A number of wax
tapers were bound about the box. Four
of these were burning when the watch
man found the box, which had been so
placed that the flames from It easily
would have communicated with the walls.
Oct Fire to Letters.
The suffragettes resumed their cam
paign of destruction tonight in the Lewis
ham branch postofflce, which they had
attacked several times previously. They
set fire to the letters In the building
and the flames were only extinguished
after a number of pieces ot mall had
been burned.
Dottles containing corrosive mixtures
and addressed to Reginald McKenna,
home secretary, were found today In a
mall box. Telegraph wires were cut'
today In various places in Wales. But
fragette literature was found scattered
near the scenes of these depredations.
Automobile drivers and motorcyclists of
the Dlcester district complained today
that taoks which punctured their tires
were scattered over the highway.
