Gallon Hat, Watches
Tri-State Round Up

/ the clothes of the west tackled wild
steers and unridden horses Tor his
entertainment and when an espe-
cially daring or Skillful piece OF WORK
was done he applauded or turned to
Senator Norbeck for an explanation.
One of the events which seemed
to please both the president and
Mrs. Coolidge most was the Omaha
Indian dance in which a hundred
redskins participated dressed in their
native war paint, bangles and feath-
ers.
The Indians rushed into the rum
way before the presidents box Yell
ing savage cries, waving their arms
and shaking their bodies. AS a
! tom-tom beat out the steady rhythm,
they moved into their primitive
dance, the Indian bucks first kick
ing high then pending low and the
squaWs furnishing most OF the yell.
ing.
A single note of the new life that
has come to them was detected in
the card board fans few of the
squaWs raised to shield their eyes
from the bright sun which beat
down on them.
The crowd was in a holiday mood
and laughed whenever a cowboy on
horse galloped in front of MIR. Cool
idge and called: Hello Cal" The
president smiled back and alsos was
amused when the roundup announC-
er specified one OF the bucking
bronchos as "Cal Coolidge"
When Dakota Clyde Jones' in
charge of the Custer state park
rangers and the presidents fayorite
entry, dashed out on the chute
astride wildly bucking broncho
and stuck to its back, both Mr. and
Mrs. Coolidge applauded loudly.
Throughout the day a panorama
of wild vest. thrills passed before
them.
Cowgirls in sheepskin chaps, others
in bright colored skirts and trousers
rode by, putting their ponies through
all manner Of tricks. They saw
sturdy ranchers grab steers by the
horns and turn back the heads until
they toppled to the ground.
With the excitement OF derby
they and the crowd cheered as a
cowgirl cow-horse" relay was in
progress in which new horses had
to be re-Saddled before each lap.
Tad Lucas, Of Fort Worth, Texas,
champion cowgirl, drew a round of
applause when she dashed by on
Alkali Gray and the crowd cheered
when Fox Hastings, only woman
bull-dogger, subdued a big steer after
several minutes OF strenuous bull
dogging."
During the afternoon, two FULL
blooded Indian chiefs, Spotted Grow
and Red Cloud, were presented tc
the spectators and the announced re-
called that they had met President
| Coolidge before in Washington.
Ten year OLD Virginia Ramel, OF
Belle Fourche, drew a smile from
President Coolidge when she won the
coW-girlS cow-horse race and a roar
went up from the stands when a
small rider went by seriously smok-
ing cigar.
The day had one accident, q

/ GENEVA, Switzerland, July GA
crucial stage has been reached in
| the tripartite naval conferences.
Whether events at this critical turn
! ing point pushed the pourparlers
toward an actual rupture or toward
an actual treaty undoubtedly depends
chiefly on Great Britain.
The United States today, actuated,
it is said, by conciliatory desire
to understand the British cruiser
needs and meet them as far as pos
sible, practically told the naval dele
gates that it would go to the extreme
maximum limit of 100000 tons, which
is 100000 tons more than the
maximum for cruisers contained in
the original American proposal but
strongly Indicated Simultane eouSly that
lit would exert continued effort to
put limitation well under 100000 TONS
The sudden American initiative in
duced w. G. Bridgeman, first lord
of the British admiralty, to receive
the press representatives tonight, and
to them he vigorously denied reports
that Great Britain was animated
by aggressive designs in asking for
a large number of small cruisers He
described Great Britain as country
III constant danger of interception
of food supplies and remarked that
during the war 70 cruisers we're
occupied in chasing the German
raider Emden, with 20 at her heels
at one time, before she was run
to earth"
Mr. Bridgeman's answer to one
question confirmed the impression
on the border of precipice. The
question was: do, you consider the
chances for the success of the con-
ference better now than on the first
day?"
The answer of the head of the
British delegation was: 1.-THE pros
poets on the first day were not as
good as I had hoped, but 1 will be
greatly disappointed if we do not
find some way to agree"
The naval delegates as whole
appear to desire to understand Brit
ish cruiser requirements, but it was
indicated that the United States
must go still higher if Great BritainS

situation is that the United States
has raised the figure in cruiser ton
mage, but the question remains
whether Great Britain, manifesting
a similar. conciliatory attitude, will
abandon her original demand, which
amounts to something under 100000
tons, and assent to the new maximum
of Uncle Sam.
According to information in reliable
sources, one delegate, not an Amer
lean, used the word SERIOUS" at to-
days secret session in discussing the
cruiser situation. Another significant
development was an intimation eman-
ating from American circles that the
American delegates can see little good
in reaching an agreement at Geneva
merely on destroyers and submarines.
The United States are singularly
weak in cruiser strength, because of
numerous antiquated ships, but rela-
lively strong in destroyers and sub
marines. Hence, it is pointed out, an

Nationalists yesterday, but notified
sthe authorities that although he was
surrenderi1g to the Southerners he
would guarantee full protection for
foreign lives and property. While this
apparent detection added little terri
tory to the Nationalist davance it fur

of the far-flung campaign, which with

quarters of the moderate Nationalist
regime, reveal that the Southerners are

The United States embassy has re-

rushed to the scene, blocked the street
and protected the entrance to the

to disband and scatter.
American Consul General Alexander
