conference committee to reach an
agreement on the budget for 1915
which was passed by the diet few

reduced. A committee was appointed
to confer with diet committee early

The committees reported back this
morning, however, that they were un.
able to reach an understanding and
unless an agreement is reached the APP
preparation bill will fail.
AS a result of this it now seems
probable that Japan's naval program.
will be put back. for it is not thought
that an agreement can be reached.

a pitched battle near here last night
between lone bandit and a pursuing
posse. the bandit is dead and two
peace officers, members of the posse,

to hand him $1,000, which was in
sight in trays. #
Late in the afternoon. Patterson
was oyertaken. but kept his pursuers
back with continual rain of lead
As darkness came on and the posse
began to close in, Patterson left his
stronghold and dashed for the open,
at the same time pouring deadly fire
into his pursueTs, before which Hawk

opened fire on the hunted man he
quickly collapsed and fell His body
was riddled with bullets.
