 Familiarity of the armed men with the cashiers office. the timing of the holdup just Is minutes after the money had been delivered in an armored messenger car. and a statement by one of the young women that she recognized the voice of one of the bandits as former employe prompted q theory that the robbery was an inside iob.'

rierS, which were fixed at the Wash
ington conference. 1t is expected
here, however, that both governments
will adhere to the original mandates
handed to their delegates.
AS for the American delegation,
it seems united in the conviction
that any decision to revamp the
Washington treaty at Geneva would
be nothing short of tragic and certain
to meet the condemnation of the
American government and people.
w. G. Bridgeman, head of the
British delegation, told the press to-
day that he believe it Great Britain's
duty to obtain reduction in the
sizes of all types of warships as
this was the only proper way OF
eliminating an armament race.
Viscount Cecil also gently insisted
that reconsideration of the sizes of
warships fixed at Washington would
not constitute scrapping of the Wash
ington treaty but would be merely
an agreement among the three inter
ested nations that they would not
exercise their full rights under that
treaty.
IF we are going eventually to de-
crease the size of battleships," ne
said, "it would be good to know about
it as soon as possible as the designs
of new units must soon be made.
Moreover, any tripartite agreement
would make it easier for France ana
Italy to adhere to it at a later date" +"
Mr.. Bridgeman declined to say
whether Great Britain would approve
cruiser parity with the United States
other than the 10000 ton cruisers
authorized by the washington agree
ment, saying that the question was
still under discussion. This state
ment was felt to indicate clearly that
the United States cannot yet count
upon British willingness to admit the
American right to have the same
total tonnage in cruisers as GreaC
Britain.
Mr.. Gibson, explaining the Amer
ican project, declared the convlctlon
that it involved real economics, great
er than would result from merely
reducing the size of individual ships
because the United States was willing
to go as low as any of the nations
at the conference in limiting total
tonnage.
The American delegation seems con-
vinced that it will be backed solidly
by public opinion in the United States
both, in resisting any attempt to
reopen the washington treaty or to
remove equality between Great Brit
ain and the United States in con-
structing their navies of the future.
Another development today, which
was felt to increase the chances OF
success of the conference, was the
assurance from the Japanese delega-
ton that Japan would not insist
upon her demand for the unrestricted
right to build as many submarines
as she desired under 700 tons.

Eagan also testified that when he
visited Miss Mackaye, after her hus-
band had died and after Kelly had
been. arrested, she seemed to show more
concern over what would happen to her
lover than she did over the death of
her husband He testified she asked
him where was Kelly, and what was
going to happen to him. Eagan was
asked if s11le actress was not grief
stricken when he saw her.
"Yes, over Kelly" was his reply.
The other four rebuttal witnesses
were called by the state to ilnpeach
testimony of Miss Mackaye and her
chum, Helen wilkinson. Two grand
jurors who indicted Kelly for murder
and Miss Mackaye for conspiracy de-
clared she testified before tne grand
jury that she had taken drinks of
liquor at Kelly's apartment after leay-
ing her husbands bedside when he was
unconscious in the hospital the day
after the fight. She testified in her
own defense that she had taken no
drinks at that time.

Nicholson and John HeSlOp, pit
boss, said they were OverpOwered
about III o'clock Tuesday morning
and along with the other IL guards
locked in the electric shop. They
knew nothing further of the prog
ress of the mutiny until 4 o'clock
this afternoon when cOnvicts came
to the shop, broke out the windows
and told them there had been a
battle and that the mutiny was
over.
During the battle, it was learned,
the obstinate mutiny leaders seized
two gallon jugs of acid and fought
the others with this. Several men
sustained acid burns.
When word reached the surface
that the men were ready to come
UP, the night guards were called
to reinforce the day guards about
the mine top. The 100 guards, all
equipped with Shotguns, stood
guard over the top as the hoists
began bringing the men out. The
first group Of hungry men came up
shortly after o'clock, and Is
minutes later the mine was emptIed
of the mutineers.
The electric shop, in which the
guards were locked, was only ten
by twelve feet in dimension, and
the guards were forced to lie down

Were.'
The mutiny broke by nearly 40
hours the longest previous nnutiny,
which was staged in 1900 and lasted
So hours. Another mutiny In 1922
lasted hut 9 hours, while a mutiny
last summer lasted 36 hours.

FLIP PIyOS Are
CONTENT, WOOD
Tells COOLIDGE

RAPID CITY, S. D., June "a R-
Governor General Leonard Wood of
the Philippines, assured President
Coolidge today that he would return
to his. post in Manila in the fall.
Although considerably disabled from
two accidents, which followed two
operations, General Wood made it
clear that he felt able to return to
Manila and would continue SO long
as desired by the administration.
He was assured by the president that
this would be most satisfactory.
Sitting on a chair of the state game
lodge where President Coolidge is
spending the summer, General Wood
today discussed at considerable length
his views on conditions in the Philip
pines with newspaper men. He re-
iterated the stand taken by Mr..
Coolidge that the Filipinos are not
ready for independence.
While the general answered ques-
tiOns freely, and seemed anxious to
talk about the Philippines, he was
obviously disabled. An attendant
stood with him, and Mrs. Wood also
was at his side. He explained that
he was in the condition of freight
car which had been jammed into
several times but he was insistent
that he would be able to return to
Manila in September.
General Wood wore large ten
gallon hat during the interview.
which had beer given to him OH his
trip here by friends in Livingston.

photographed with the president and
both were the hat OF the cowboys.
The general declared the Filiplnos
were the "most contended and happy
people in the world" But - Said
Il would be like putting a small
boy without airy training in an air-
plane and tell him to fly to give the
islands their independence now.
While most OF the people want in
dependence, he said, they did not
understand its responsibility and
we're not ready to assume it. He
criticized the leaders Of the inde'
pendcnce movement, declaring they
arc unwilling to be frank enough
with the people to tell them what
the. responsibilities OF independence
means
IA break in trade relations with
this country alone would paraly2e
economic conditions there" he said.

Leadership

All leadership is based on suffer-
ing, sacrifice and unselfishness.
For person to lead he must be
able to accept the pains, sorrows and
sufferings of other people. There is
no easy road to leadership.
A man can not set himself up as a
leader. The public makes leaders.
The man with the natural desire to
work and serve bis fellowman will be
greater than all the rest.
The Lowly Nazarene has more fol-
lowers than any other leader. He
served best.
A leader must lay his life on the
altar of sacrifice. His chief objec-
tive must always he to serve, those
whom he represents.
Arrows of criticism will be directed
toward him. His cup will often run
over with bitterness. His motives
will often be misrepresented. But
that is the cost of leadership.
Unless a man can go down into
the valley of deep despair for his
cause, he can not lead. Take me,
punish me, but let my people 90 free.
Burn me at the stake, throw me be-
hind prison bars, but let my people
be free so that thew can enjoy life
more abundantly-That is leader
