London, Nov. 18th-Four policemen
were killed and thirty seriously injured
constituted the casualties in yesterdays
rioting in Bombay. according to an off,
cial communication issued by the Indian
Office today which adds that the situa-
ton was we'll in hand this morning in
spite of disorders in the centre and
north of the City. Although details
are lacking, the casualties among the
rioters are believed to be as great as
those suffered by the police force. The
communication says that the rioters
were chiefly Mohammedans. Most of
the mills were idle today. and large
"rou,ds we're moving about, but their
4umenour was less hostile. Another
communication issued by the India Office
this evening reports much anxiety In
Calcutta over the activities OF the non
cooperatives who are bringing pressure
on the Moslem members OF the police
force, by intimidation and molestation
to resign. Moslems make up nearly one
quarter of the police force. The Gov
eminent of Bengal has announced its
intention of proclaiming the Bengal non
cooperative volunteers and other SINH
lar bodies illegal. associations.
Mayence, Nov. 18th.-The iron and
steel workers in the Dusseldorf area to
the number of CO., 900 have struck for an
increase in wages amounting to 100 per
cent. The masters have declared a
lockout.

pated relief Of armament burden q
spirit of caution has developed in japan
with the inclination to slook flor a posi-
bile advantage to the United States in
the proposal for a ten year naval hoIi-
day and limitation of navies. Express
slons favouring a more equal balance Of
power have become the conspicuous note
IN public expression concerning the scheme
with the probable disturbance of labOur
as a secondary consideration. The sac
rltlclng OF Warships a~ggregating $50, 900
tons by Japan, would be equal to the
~scFapping of 1,500, 900 by the United
States, Japanese analysists declare on
Che ground that In an emergency the
United States could replace her lost ton
mage within a third or ever a fifth of
the time required by Japan with her
Limited facilities. Neither do the experts
believe that a full estimate of strength
can be reached on a tonnage basis, but
by considering also the speed of the
vessels and their age. 1t is pointed out
that the Hughes proposals would leave
the United States five capital ships con
structed between 1914 and 1916, and
while with the exception of the Negato,
Japan would all be of the period prior
to 1913.
Washington, Nov. 18th. The decision
by Great Britain to stop work immedi-
ately on her four capital ships of the
super Hood type was heard with salts
faction today by members of the United
States armament delegation. They
regarded the order for cessation of
work as indicative of the whole hearted
espousal by the British of the principles
of the Hughes naval reduction program
Congressional leaders declared to-
day that there was little prospect of any
action in either the Senate or the House
on resolutions designated to stop the
United States 1916 programme, until the
results of the conference are seen. 1t
was pointed out that under authority
of an amendment to the 1916 naval ap-
preparation bill, the President, in event
of international agreement, has author
ity to stop the present building pro-
gramme without further authorization
from Congress.

questions will be among those to be
treated under the third of the Chinese
points, it was said
Washington, Nov. 18th. The Pope, in
a cablegram to President Harding, has

the Emperor of Japan, the Presidents
Of China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Haiti,

the whole British people will be with
the conference in its labours for
assuring the maintenance of peace. To
this President Harding replied. 1T is
difficult to express to you the measure Of
my appreciation of your message on the
occasion of the opening of the confer
ence at Washington. The renewed as
surances that your Majesty and the Brit
ish Empire are in sympathy with the
results hoped to be accomplished in the
assurance of an enduring peace increases
my confidence that the labours of the
conference will attain this desirable
end". Emperor Yoshihito of Japan in
his message referring to the ceremonies
for the United States unknown soldier,
expressed the hope that the sacrifice of
those gallant lives may, in the inscruta-
BILE workings of Providence, lead to a
better and more f~raternal era for the
World. The President, in thanking the
Emperor for his cablegram, said, he
valued it, very highly.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
COURSES ISSUED IN JAN.

"The state department OF education
is busy going into the various rec
concentrations that have come from
the five supervisional district insti-
tutes, where special committees in
round-table conference with the high
school teachers in the several high
school departments discussed and
formulated regulations said Superin-
tendent w. ]. Hunting recently.
"Somc committees have made very
full, detailed recommendations There
have developed wide differences Of
opinion as to the best content and
method to be embodied in the revision.
AS an example of this, some high
school teachers favor deferring COM
mcrcial high school instruction until
the pupils have completed a full four
year general course: others favor the
establishment of three-fod CONNER
cial course to be covered in four
vars of high school, one for the pre-
paration of stenographcrs, one for
bookkcepers and accountants. and a
third for training in craftsmanship and
general commercial activities.

school courses out in January"

NO ARREST LIKELY
FOR LIQUOR DRINKING.

No attempt will be made here to
arrest patrons of "hard drink" es-
Establishments for the mere act of
drinking, because there is nothing in
the national prohibition law to justify
such action, is was stated today by
Capt ]. P. Donnelly, prohibition di-
rector for Nevada, says the Carson
News
A controversy has developed in
California between +. Forest Mitchell.
prohibition director for the jurisdic-
ton, and K. H. Mccormack. special
assistant to the Encouragement
charged with prosecutions OF dry laws
violations there. following the an
nouncement of Mitchell that persons
would be arrested for drinking booze
in public places. Mccormack has
notified Mitchell that officers who
make such arrests lay themselves open
to civil prosecution.
Capt. Donnelly said that the ques-
ton OF possession might arise and in
cases where persons appear to be
guilty OF violating the possession
clause of the act they will be prose-
cuted. Any move calculated to de-
stroy the business of the bootlegger
would be a good thing. the director
stated. but he characterized arrests
for the mere drinking as going a
trifle too far

FEDERAL EQUIPMENT
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS

The state highway department has
received considerable amount OF
equipment such as trucks. tractors,
small tools. etc. from the war de-
partmcnt To secure this equipment
we paid all handling. loading and
freight charges from the point at
which the equipment was stored to
its destination in Nevada. says the
Nevada Highway News. Payment
was made from the million-dollar
state highway bond issue fund. When
requests were made of the war de-
partment we not only anticipated our
own needs but also the requirements
of counties and towns throughout the
state and therefore secured a consider
able amount OF the equipment which
could be turned over to the counties
and communities of Nevada.
The federal government allotted SUR
plus war equipment to the various
states for the specific purpose of aid
ing in the construction and mainten-
ancc OF roads, and any equipment we
have received from the government
and which we rcdistributc must neces-
sarily be used for that purpose.
In securing this equipment from
the war department and redistributing
it to the counties. we are i'll reality
acting &C clearance house. Counties
are required to reimburse the high
way department for the actual cN-
pense incurred in securing such equip
ment as has been distributed to them.
In some cases we have added to the
freight and handling charges the act
ual cost OF making small necessary
repairs in order that the equipment
would be received i'll running order
by the county In any event the high
way department has received no profit
and the country or town secured the
at bout IS per cent of its real market

PRICE OF WOOL
STEADILY ADVANCING

b Eastern trade papers continue to
point to big scramble for wool from
the coming 1922 clip OF the West on
the part of Eastern wool dealers.
Late reports received by the Nevada
Live Stock Association arc to the
effect that offers of twenty cents per
pound have been made for wool on
the Sleeps back in Utah. the offer be-
ing refused With an estimate for the
consumption for December. it is fig
ured that consumption of wool for
1921 will total oCO0O0.OOO pounds The
1921 clip totaled but 250,OOO.0O0.
Much of the surplus wool stored in the
country during the free trade period
has been absorbed by the manufact-
urcrs. this being particularly true i'll
the case OF the better grades. Recent
government auctions of the surplus
wool in government hands have been
very successful. all offerings being ia
ken at gradually increasing rates.
Some offers are already being re-
ceivcd for the 1922 clip Of Nevada
wool. according to recent reports.
Predictions are now being heard that
wool will sell at all the way from
twenty-five cents to thirty cents the
coming spring, depending largely upon
how great delay is experienced i'll
securing passage of the permanent
tariff bill.

Hiram was old. too old. He had
outlived his friends, his immediate
family. his day had long since gone

pitfalls and charitable Institutions and
a number OF personal presents. He
always, for example, sent some of the

The last Christmas he had only re-

Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then
