DELEGATES SEE NONE

Geneva. Aug. 1.-(R--The deadlock
In the tripartite naval CONFER renee was
the subject of long talk today be-
tween Viscount Ishii of Japan and W..
c. Bridgeman, first lord of the
British admiralty, but so far is
known nothing has taken place which
reduces the risks of the conference
failing. After his talk with the
Japanese statesman, Mr.. Bridgeman
conferred with the representatives
Of the British dominions.
The activity of the Japanese is
creating the impression that either
they are seeking to suggest some
compromise or they are getting ready
to suggest adjournment of the con-
ference without holding the public
plcnary session which has been defi-
nitely fixed for Thursday. The
British apparently still find it diff
ficult to believe that the Washing
ton government is backing Hugh S.
Gibson, the chief American delegate,
in his insistence upon freedom to
construct cruisers with . main arma-
ment of 8-inch guns. When q news
paperman asked the British spokes-
man today If there were any change
in the situation, the latter rejoined: !:
wont there be other news from
Washington about the cruiser Ques-
tion -
Seeks Liberty
When the newspaperman answered
that all press reports seemed to in
dictate that the American government,
like Mr.. Gibson. found the British
plan quite unacceptable. the spokes-
man replied: "All that America
wants is not limitation but liber-
ty agreement"
"AdamaAt" is said to have been
the word used by Mr.. Bridgeman in
characterizing Great Britian's atti-
tude concerning. the necessity Of
adopting the British plan. He is un-
derstood to have added that the
British cabinet adhered to this view,
the British believing their plan the
only way Of really limiting the Tag
gressive" type Of cruisers.
On the other hand, the Americans
maintain that the United States has
been making concession after cOnces-
sion and that their disposition to re-
strict the number Of 10000 ton
cruisers to IL or. there abouts, is
really q concession which would
doubtless meet with criticism in con-
gress if incorporated in the project
cd treaty.
If the British, aided by the Japan
csc, can find no way out Of the crui-
ser difficulty before Thursday. the
conference is expected to collapse on
the occasion. but hope is still enter
tained in some quarters that the
British will make move calculated
to render further negotiations possi-
Bile.
At all events. should this move not
eventuate, an effort will doubtless
be made to have the conference ad-
journed without any public session
which would quite possibly be re-
plete with accusatory arguments once
it opened. and which many people be-
lieve it would be best to avoid in the

WOOD ALCOHOL
KILLCONVICTS
Three Are Dead and Many
Others to Lose Eyesight
Following Orgy

McAlester, Okla. Aug. 1.-R-
Wood alcohol, stolen from the paint
shop at the state penitentiary here
today, had taken the lives Of three
convicts and left several others in
serious condition.
Warden J. @. Newell said prison
authorities first discovered a wood
alcohol orgy had been staged Satur-
day night, when Robert Barnett, Joe
Wilson and J. d. Williams were re-
ported i'll yesterday and unable to
leave their hunks. They were re-
moved to the hospital. where they
died within few hours.
Victims Won't Talk
Although an investigation was
started at once, none Of the men
would give any information as to how
the alcohol was obtained. Warden
Newell said he believed one of the
men took the liquid from large can
which had been opened shortly before
the prisoners completed their work
Saturday. He declared they obtained
only small amount.
DR.. J. w. Echols, prison physician,
today said seven convicts had been
confined to the prison hospital suf-
fering from alcohol poisoning All
who survive probably will lose ,:eir
eyesight, he declared.

MAY BE TOLL
OF BIG QUAKE
But II Is Hard To Estimate
Extent of Recent Disaster
In China :

Peking, Aug. 1.-LP)-An unoffi-
cial, unconfirmed report from the re-
mote province Of kansu reaching the
China international famine relief
commission in Peking today led Off
cials Of that organization to the
opinion that the death toll in the
earthquake Of May % may have
reached 100000.
There is no communication between
the Peking government and the Kan
su provincial regime, as the latter
is dominated by General Feng Yu-
Hsiang, allied with the nationalists.
The stricken area is far from Liam
chow, the provincial capital. and it
is unlikely that reliable reports have
reached even Lianchow.
Hard to Check
1t was believed the quake was sof
unusual severity, but that the dam
age was confined to the northern
Kansu region in the vicinity of Liam
chow. There is no means of making
an authentic check, however.
Officials of the famine relief COM
mission, trying to explain the size
of the death roll, recall that there
was larger disaster in kansu in
1920, when the deaths were csti-
mated at 100000.

Of the net or surplus profits, fifty
per cent will go to the operator, which
is his first and only profit, and the
other so per cent will be available
as additional dividends.
When interviewed, Mr.. Babbit said:
"It has been long dream of mine
to see a new hotel in Bozeman, be-
cause -Bozeman has possibilities as a
hotel town. In the last analysis, the
hotel will be like new industry; not
only will it bring new trade to the
community, but in addition 80 per
cent of the income is returned to To-
cal circulation.
"I consider the new hotel has good
dividend possibilities, and there is eV-
cry argument in favor of the propo-
sition. BOzeman is a stragetic loca-
tion for hotel business. The tourist
and commercial traveller will be at
tracted here; there are good conven-
ton possibilities; as a community
center, it should be success. Co

One of the largest crowds that ever

Message of the Train
Last year, according to the assess
or's report, there were In Gallatln
county 1879 head of beef cattle,
$500 head of dairy cattle, 35,1OS
sheep, and 1885 swine. Since these
figures were, taken early in the
spring before the young were born,
they are, of course, only indicative
of the Importance Of livestock to this
section.
Business men, as well as farmers
and stockmen, realize that an extra
cent or two for their beef, pork, NUT
ton, WOOL or butterfat is of real sig
nificance when multiplied by the
many carloads Of these products that
are shipped annually from this ter
ritory. To the producer of livestock
the extra cent or two may largely
represent that much clear profit, and
may mean the difference between
profit and loss.
The message of the Livestock train
is simple-to make the best possible
use of the range, hay, pasture, and
feeds available The exhibits, DEM
onstrations, and discussions are prac-
teal and deal with the everv day af.
fairs of the farmers and stockmen-
what kind of stock will make the
most profitable gains; how the range
hay, and feeds available may be USED
for best results; management Of ths
breeding animals; the most profitable
way to handle breeding stock; feeding
young stock range grasses and theil
value; finishing stock for the mar
ket, and other matters Of like nature

Wonderful "Ad'' for City
Mr.. LEV. 3Truitt, one of the active
workers in the hotel campaign issued
this statement from headquarters yes
terday:
"Our Chamber of Commerce may
spend much money on, advertising and
publicity; we may send commercial
missionaries out to bring business to
our city; booster trips may be or
ganized by our business men to be-
come acquainted with leaders in our
trade district; but none of these is
as effective an advertisement as
Bozeman's new tourist and CONNER
cial Community hotel will be.
Whenever a city has good hotel,
It doesn't make any difference how
small the city, is, or what else it has,
that city is well advertised. There
are thousands of men and women who
travel the year round; they form
their impression of city by its ho-
tel facihties; they leave and either
speak asgOod word or a bad word fOl

a study session at private home for
one evening of each month; and the
production of chosen drama at the
Y. NJ. G. A. building on one evening
