Wiling, of Course, to Make Usual Conces- sion. of Compromise But Will Not Agree to Radical Departures.
Gibson Confers With Ishii
 Today Question of 1 Naval Bases Likely to Be Forced to Front.

Washington, June 22 R-The state department exerted itself today to make clear that the American proposal presented at the Geneva erms conference represented the best thought of the admintstration at this time. and that barring the usual concessions of compromise on detail the plan should be maintained as the basis for any final agreement.
 Dept. Is Optimistic
 Despite impressions cabled from Geneva that naval limitation pro- posals put forth by the three powers in the conference there were 50 widely divergent as to afford little margin for immediate common dis cussion, the department today chung to its optimism that an eventual agreement would be reached. Hope was held that the American pro- posal for extension of the 5-5-s prin- ciple of auxiliary craft would be &C., cepted virtually intact.
 The American proposal had the careful consideration of President Coolidge as we'll as the state and navy departments and was held to reprtSent this country's minimum naval requirements. Therefore it was emphasized that it, could not readily be scrapped to accept a foreign substitute offering less in the way of naval protection.
 British Counter rlan
 The British counter proposal, which would revise features of the Washington treaty concerning capi- tai ships and aircraft carriers. 1t was believed in some quarters here, would not be pressed to the point of endangering the conference. The same view was taken of the Jap anese proposal to maintain the status quo in auxiliary naval strength.
 Particular stress was placed on the Japanese stipulation that present naval strength be based on the num- Der of efficient shps which would eliminate from consideration more than 100 American destroyers and cruisers now beyond tho replace ment age. It was assumed, however, that If the Japanese insist upon their proposal use of the word reflective" would be accompanied oy some lib- eral interpretation 50 as not to re- strict this country's naval construc- tion.
 AS to the British program, the view was held that in addition to be- ing out of order at this lime because of its relation to the 1922 pact. it offered no tonnage limitation of

BYRD LAUDED AT YALE AND AWARDED DEGREE
Designer of Whirlwind Mo- tors, C. L. Lawrance,
 Also Is HOn0red

New Haven, June 22 R-Lt. Com mander Richard E. Byrd, first avia- tor to fly over the north pole, Charles L. Lawrarce, designer of the Wright whirlwind motors which carried and Chamberlin across the William Allan Nelson. pres- ident of Smith college and William B. Greeley, chief forester of the United States, were among the re- cipients of honorary degrees con- ferred by Yale university today at the second graduation exercises of the 226th commencement.
 We all look up to Commander Byrd because he was the first man to look down on the north pole, :" said Professor William Lyon Phelps in presenting the explorer for his honorary master of arts degree. "On May 9, 1926. in company with Floyd Bennett. he circled the top of the world. His success in this amazing exploit was no accident: it was the crowning event of career in naval aviation distinguished by patience as we'll as by audacity.
 Tn a committee report submitted to congress in 1924. when he was mentioned, he was cited for the highest qualities both in professional efficiency and in personal character, an ideal representative of the United States navy. It would be pleasant for us but painful for, him If the record of his services were given in full, but it ought to be said that in 1924 he received 17 citations for service above the call to duty. Four of these were for bravery. two for extraordinary heroism in saving lives. His fame is the pride and glory of Virginia"

 TEXAS STATE FARM Many Are DSpradoS- S--BaieVM
 Surrounded in Woods KANSAS PRISON HurluY
BPS Convicts and IA Guards Trapped in Mine As Prisoners Mutiny For Cigarettes - Outbreak Believed Quelled.

Houston, Tex, June 22 R- Thirty five long term white convicts who escaped from the Ferguson state prison farm near Madisonville, 80 miles north of here. at midnight last night, we're believed to have been surrounded this morning in the densely wooded Trinity river valley near their camp.
 Guards from the prison camp were reinforced by volunteers from all sections of Madison county, called by farm authorities to assist in the man hunt.
 Most of the prisoners were serving long terms. Many were described as desperate characters.
 All efforts to communicate with the farm by telephone failed. in- dicating the convicts cut all wires. So far as could be learned no one was injured in the break.
 Saw Through Wall
 The men sawed through their bunk house and ran to a highway where they started toward a ferry on the Trinity river a short dis tance northeast of the farm. Guards hastily took up positions near the ferry and the fugitives were turned southward before they could cross the river.
 Dogs aided in chasing the men into thickets along the river bank. The section through which the chase led is a swamp with mud several inches deep. It is impossible in many places to anything except men on foot.
 Farm officials denied reports that the prisoners had communicated automobiles and horses. The officers declared the men were driven into the woods before they had a chance to raid nearby ranches.
 Prison officials said they antici- pated little difficulty in capturing the men. They declared the dogs would be able to trail the prison- CTS and that with the large force of guards and volunteers available 1t was only a question of starving the fugitives into surrender.
 A messenger from the farm told police here that the fugitives were unarmed. He said they sawed through the side of their bunk house without attracting attention.
 Roads in Bad Shape
 Communication with the farm is limited to messengers on horseback, which due to the mud, is very slow. Recent rains have flooded bottom lands and added to transportation difficulties. The names of the fugi- tives were not announced and the prison headquarters at Huntsville was awaiting arrival of the list by courier.
 The guard. who discovered the men as they were leaving, said there were 153 convicts in the bunk house. He covered several who were try ing to crawl through the hole sawed in the floor with his shot gun and they surrendered.
 Five packs of bloodhounds were assigned to the chase. Authorities indicated no more would be need ed. It was said that this was the largest number of prisoners ever to escape from the farm.

Excerpts From the Herald
of so Years Ago -

An eagle came down into the
yard of Mr.. McNarum, at Shelby
vile, Blue Earth County, after a
goose for Christmas, and while at
tempting to carry off a fine large
one, he was discovered by Mrs.
McNarum, who ran out and caught
him by the wings and one of the
children struck him on the head
with a stick and killed him. He
measured six feet from tip to tip
of his wings.
Bear Fight-Mr. T. D. Mont
gomery, of this township, and a
son about eighteen years Of age,
had quite an adventure with a
bear one day last week. in the
woods near Flood Lake. The
young man was out with a shot
gun, and suddenly came upon a
large bear lying down at the foot
of a tree. He Immediately raised
his gun and fired, the whole charge
striking the animal in the head,
bewildering it some, but not
wounding it seriously. The beal
made a spring and grabbed the
gun, biting the barrel and making
two or three great dents in it.
Young Montgomery jerked his
gun away and retreated to his
home, the bear not pursuing, where
he informed his father of what had
happened. Mr.. Montgomery arm
ed himself with an axe, the young
man reloaded his gun, and both
started after bruin. Arriving at
the scene of the encounter, the
bear had gone, and following its
trail they traced it to its den
whittier it had probably retired to
repair damages. Mr.. Montgomery
stood on one side of the entrance,
with his axe, and the young man
fired his gun into the den. The
bear came out, when Mr.. Mont.
gomery with two or three well di-
rected blows from his axe stretch
ed it lifeless. The bear was
very large one, and made a valua-
BILE prize.
Drums were placed on the stoves
in the Congregational church last
week, and the house was comfort
ably warm on Sunday.
The Roller Against Drought
The Stearns County correspondent
reports that while wheat generally
of the department Of Agriculture
averages about IA bushels per acre
the past season, his own averages
20, and is satisfied that the differ
ence in his favor is mainly owing
to a prevention of injury from
drought by thoroughly rolling the
land. 49,
