The sheriff was the only member
of the posse known to have been
wounded. None of the participant
in the parade was hurt. Besides the
sheriff, those wounded were all spec
tsto,s.
Sheriff Buchanan, while waiting at

dressed. said to a newspaper man:
"Just tell them that the whitecaps

in front of the approaching column

flag from the leading whitehead
figure.
Sheriff Buchanan, with deputies
Burton and Wood, left here early to-
night for Lorena after having de-
clared he would either stop the parade
or know who was leading it. More
than an hour before the parade was
scheduled to start, the sheriff went
20 the entrance where the paraders
were being sent, having been told he
could see the two men who were to
lead. He declared later they refused
to give their names or to show theil
faces.
"If they will just let me see who
is leading so l can know who to hold
responsible if anything happens,
will not stop the parade" the sher-
iff declared.
"It Is not right for them to pass
through here when no one knows
who they are. 1t is not the law
They can't go through until they get
me-"
Up and down the road he walked
followed by a crowd, some hooting
him, others arguing with him, few
declaring he was right and that as
sheriff he was doing his duty.

Similar surveys. he said. would
be made every so days as it was be-
neved in view Of the approaching

that the country should know the

complete the first survey and pub

sumers Of bituminOus coal inquiring
as to their stocks on November l.

Der l." he said, was 10000, 900
tons behind last year. and from 49,
10000 TO 00,00O,00O tons below
normal. The decrease is in part to
be expected because Of a decline in
consumption and in exports, and II
does not necessarily mean that con-
sumers are unwisely burning up
their reserves. But If there is any
possibility that the above ground re-
serves are below the safety lines,
the best way to settle the point. the
government thinks, is to take ac-
count of stocks and lay all the facts
before the public"

Reduction of Naval Plans Also
Paramount Question to
Be Decided.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. The
policies and program of the Ameri-
can delegation 10 the armament
conference are beginning to assume
definite outline, and If the expecta-
tons of official Washington are
realized, the opening day of the
conference will see a sequence OF
developments something like this:
Presentation, at the outset,
of a concrete American plan for
far reaching reduction of naval
armament.
Consideration, along with
this plan, OF such troublesome
problems OF the far east as may
naturally project themselves
into the picture.
Meantime an effort by the United
States to keer the negotiations in
the oTen so that public opinion may
exert its pressure toward practical
accomplishment.
Many Salient Features.
Salient features of the American
naval ornaments proposal already
have been established, and although
details remain to be fixed, there is
reason TO believe the reductions
suggested will be sweeping enough
to convince the whole world that
the United States meant business
when it called the powers into con-
ference.
1t would cause no surprise if the
leading naval powers found it neces-
sary to submit the plan of this gov
eminent to long and careful study
before they determine on their
course of action. Should the reduc-
tons proposed prove unacceptable

delegates, having once taken tbs
initiative, would invite the Other
