Reno from Los Angeles to preside as
Queen over the multitude of festivi-
ties that open there on the End Of

be the stellar attraction. However,
the night entertainment in town will
be Of unprecedented magnitude, with
an Automobile and Industrial Show,
a big 40 camp, carnival concessions
and elaborate free street entertain

Honor will be just as royalty enter
tanned as Miss Dana, whom they will
attend in the dispensation of her reg
al Offices, and, with her, will be
guests Of honor at the most elaborate
banquet v planned for Reno. The
Maids of Honor will have all expenses
paid by the Round Up committee.
Several innovations are being made
this year in the interest of keener
and more representative competition
in the rodeo events out at the track.
The prize list has been generally in
creased and special awards for the
best Nevada cowboy and the best Ne
vada owned bucking horse to make

SEE NO BREAK
IN DISCUSSION
ON ERIN PEACE
No Basis For Peace is Yet Found,
However, Statement is Made
BY Leaders

Dublin, Aug. IL. (By the Associated
Press).-The letter from Eamonn De-
Valera, Irish Republican Leader, de-
livered to Premier Lloyd George yes
terday is neither an acceptance nor
a rejection of the Irish peace pro-
posals, it was learned today. The let
ter raised various questions to which
an answer is necessary. The answer
may serve to facilitate future deal
ings, 1t was said. and is not expected
to lead to a break in negotiations.
There was no excitement in Dublin
today over Mr.. Lloyd Georges return
from Paris as it was said that no un-
expected developments had occurred
in the Irish discussion. When Mr..
DeValera left London 1t was recall
ed today by Irish leaders the state
ment was given out that basis had
not been found for further conferences
and it was stated that the time since
Mr.. DeValera's conversation with the
British prime minister merely had
been spent in trying to find this basis.
1t has not yet been found, it was
added.

BOY 'ENIGMA"
IN.NEW MURDER
Arrested Soon After Acquittal,
When Girls Body Is Found
in Home
BY Newspaper Enterprise.

London, Aug. 12.-Harold Jones, 15-
year-old errand boy, is either an arch
fend or the prosecuted victim Of a Sc
cret society.
British crime experts are trying,
with little result, to ascertain which.
Seventeen days after the boy was
acquitted of attacking and murder
ing S-year-old Greda Burnell, he was
locked up in connection with the muir
der of 11-year-old Florence Little.
The body of the Little girl was found
concealed in the attic Of the Jones
home, in the little Welsh village of
Abertillery.
Freda's body was found in lonely
lane six months ago. She had been
sent to the store in which the Jones
boy had worked as errand boy. Po-
lice charged he killed her in a shed
back of the store, and carried her
body to the lane. All through his
trial, the boy denied his guilt with the
utmost calm, and watched proceed
ings with apparent unconcern.
Shortly after he had been acquitted
the Little girl was playing on the
street with Florrie Jones, Harold s
smaller sister. Her father was watch
ing the play. He stepped into the
house for tobacco and when he re-
turned, found that mis- daughter had
disappeared.
A search was organized, both Harold
Jones and his father Joining it. The
boy suggested that bloodhounds be
used in the hunt.
After night of searching, police
decided to search every house in
Abertillery. In the attic of the Jones
home the body of the Little girl was
found, with a cash in the throat and
the head cut as with blunt instru-
ment.
Threats of violence were made
against Harold, and police rushed
him to Jail in another part of the
county.
One angle of the case that puzzles
experts is this:
Five days after Jones acquittal on
the first charge, he received an un-
signed letter with London postmark
containing a sketch of a heart and
dagger and the words Beware. Ven
geance." Also the German word
"Vehmgericht," the name of famous
secret tribunal of Westphalia, Ger
many.

France and England Differ Ma
terially on Methods of
Handling Question
HARVEY REPRESENTS u, S.
Ambassador Says That as Ques-
ti0n Goes to League U. S.
Is Not Interested

Paris, Aug. 12.-(By the Associated
Press .)-France and Great Britain
have decided to refer the Upper Sile-
sian question to the League of Ma
tions, it was announced here today.
This question, which involves draw
ing frontier between Poland and
Germany in Upper Silesia, threatened
yesterday to bring about a break in
the meeting of the supreme allied
council.
This decision was considered here to-
day to have solved the crisis that
arose between France and England.
The announcement said that certain
insurmountable difficulties which hal
arisen between Italy and Japan anu
England on one hand and France on
the other" had given rise to the solu-
tic ndecided upon.
Lloyd George Stayed.
1t was understood the supreme
council would continue its agenda, be-
fore Lloyd George left for England.
The British premier delayed his de-
parture and there were rumors this
forenoon that he might not leave until
tomorrow morning. The official state
ment after today's cabinet meeting
said:
Premier BRAND gave an account of
the present stage Of the supreme
councils work more especially con-
cerning Upper Silesia. The position
taken by the French delegation re-
ceived the unanimous support of the
cabinet"
Harvey Speaks For U. s.
Ambassador Harvey told the coun-
Gil this morning that the United
States government had thought from
the beginning that the Upper Silesian
question was purely a European one
and as it now was to be referred to
the League of Nations, on which the
United States was not represented he
thought he would be interpreting the
view Of his government by not partici-
pating in the decision to refer the
question to the league.
1t was learned that Premier BRAND
proposed to Mr.. Lloyd George this
morning that the United States be
asked to arbitrate the Silesian ques-
tion but this proposal was abandoned
in favor of the British premier's sug-
gestion that the matter be left to the
league.
On the question of additional allied
troops for Upper Silesia the supreme
council adopted in principle a plan
for sending reinforcements after the
league had handed down its decision.
Elaborate police precautions were
Laken for the departure of Mr.. Lloyd
George. There was a large crowd
1t the station but no manifestation

WOULD REDUCE
WESTERN LANDS
Tax Commissioner Wallace To
Make Recommendations

A reduction of the assessment OF
lands in the southwestern part OF the
state and in counties in other parts
of the state which have had poor
crops is urged by Tax Commissioner
George E. Wallace. In a statement
made public today he said:
"The assessment of real property IN
the western part Of the state has been
gradually decreasing as compared
with the eastern part of the state for
several years. l believe further re-
duction should be made on real estate
in nearly all of the counties west OF
the river. shall make such recon-.
mendation to the State Board OF
Equalization for the 1921 assessment
Some reduction should be made in
limited areas in other parts of the
state where crop conditions are poor"
The state board of equalization
which meets Aug. 18, will take up the
matter, Mr.. Wallace said.
Assessment of lands of the counties
affected in 1920 follows: Adams,
$1O.64 per acre; Bowman, $1,000;
Slope 1901; Hettinger, $16.20;
Grant, 1864; Sioux, $10.63; Morton,
1864; Stark, $l4.67; Golden Valley,
$1197; Dunn, $15.28; Oliver, $15:73;
Mercer, s16.sO; Billings, $3.50; Nc
Kenzie, 1886.
The highest assessed county in the
state in 1920 was Cass, the lands be-
ing valued at $56.46 per acre. The
assessments of land in this section
ranged from $35 to $50 an acre gen
orally. The proposal would result in
a higher tax burden on eastern and
northern counties.
