y. sheriff at Warren.
 And the wandering cows of War ren are again sneaking up dark all leys where they formerly brazenly meandered up and down sidewalks and streets.
 But the cows that roam in the spring, tra-la, have nothing to do with the case, according to Sheriff Joe Hood.
 Tuesday the sheriff called for Pages resignation, but yesterday, after conference with Warren resi- dents, Hood rescinded his original request and agreed to leave Page on duty in Warren until the charges of political disloyalty against the dep uty were probed.
 Pages dismissal was thoroughly discussed at the conference, held yesterday afternoon in the offices of Frank Wheeler, in the c. & A. build ing. The meeting was called by Wheeler and several other residents of Warren as a protest against the removal of Page. When Wheeler called the meeting to order between 20 and 30 prominent Warren men and women were Apresent. The sher- if had been invited to attend the conference and he accepted.
 Hood Charges DisIoyaIty F The meeting started calmly but in a few minutes the room was in an uproar. Hood started to explain the various incidents that, he said, had caused hi into ask for Pages resig- nation. But hardly would the sheriff start one explanation before his hearers interrupted him. Warren, they said, did Eot care about the petty political troubles that were con- fronting the sheriff, nor did Warren care anything about the complaints made to the sheriff by few resi- dents and nonresidents.
 Hood declared that he had been told that Page was not supporting him for reelection. He wanted loyal men as his deputies, the sheriff said Half dozen men and women vigor- ously told him that he had no stronger supporter in the county than Page.
 The sheriff referred to an incident at the swimming pool that had re- suited, he said, in his receiving com. plaints regarding Pages action in drawing a gun on two boys who threatened to duck" him. Wheeler declared he knew the entire. story and he told it to the sheriff 1t de veloped that the two boys were of considerable size, that one of them was big enough to eat up the War ren deputy and that the father of another had expressed the wish that the deputy had beaten up' his son for his insolence and threats. The sheriff admitted that Page was prob ably in the right

 Statements made during the confer ence by both residents of Warren and the sheriff indicated that there was considerable friction between the various deputies in the district, and that Page had drawn the fire of some of his fellow officers. Several of those attending the conference aired their views in no uncertain words and expressed their opinions of sev- eral other officers in an unusually frank manner.
 Several of those present for the residents of Warren frankly warned the sheriff that ii he insisted on re- moving Page they would gladly assist in organizing a club to defeat him.
 Hoval A. Smith was one of those most insistent that Pages deputy sher if badge be restored without celay.
 I've been one of your closest friends for years, Joe" said Smith, And Eve supported you in the past. Page is the best officer we've ever had here. He's always on the job, he enforces the law with fairness to everybody, We knows where to find him at any hour of the day or night and whenever there is a call for an officer Page responds. We don't want any other deputy, we want Page. He knows every inch of Warren, he knows everybody that lives here or has any business here. He had done nothing to justify your removing him from of flee and if you dismiss him Joe, you'll lose hundreds of votes.'
 Others who insisted that Page was thoroughly efficient, fair and depend able were Major McKean, James Cowan. Charles F. Ungemach, E. w. Beddow and score of others.
