Enthusiasm WaneS as Situation Con-
tinues Uncertain.
LONDON, February "a (P).-The
five-poWer Naval Conference entered
its fifth week today very much in the
doldrums and with the enthusiasm at
its inception now greatly dissipated.
Preparations were begun for resump-
ton of actual work Wednesday, but
the preparations were somewhat indif-
ferent, for unless the French govern
ment weatherS its session in the Cham
Der of Deputies tomorrow the forced
adjournment Of last week may have to
be continued indefinitely.
There was hope here that M. Chau-
temps, the new French premier, would
emerge victorious in the Chamber and
come here with M. BRAND and Sar-
raut prepared to plunge into confer
ence negotiations. There was worry
enough even in this prospect; Paris
dispatches said there would be nc
change in the Tardieu naval policy
demands of which the other four naval
powers considered excessive.
Jones' Condition Worries Americans.
Meanwhile, in addition to their trou-
bles with the conference itself, the
American delegation is worried consid-
erably over the condition of Rear Ad-
mlral Hilary P. Jones, who had beer
ordered home on the Berengaria Wed
nesday because of stomach ailment
While his condition is not described
officially as serious, 1t was known his
friends are considerably perturbed.
The London press Is most peSsimistiC
on the future of the conference, but
Mr.. Macdonald, Secretary Stimson anC
Mr.. Wakatsuki are said still to profess
to believe that things will proceed
speedily toward ultimate limitation Of
arms.
The enforced idleness brought or

eminent has been irksome to the lead.

Congratulations Redwood Falls High School

Professional athletes to the contrary notwith-
standing, the Redwood Falls basketball team won
the highest honors in the state during the state
tournament last week. To the parents and friends
of the members of the team there can be nothing
ing bigger and better than the trophy earned be-
cause the boys were good sportsmen.
That trophy spells self-control forgetting self
for team appreciation of good work done by
others, ability to stand defeat and the sort of
soul stuff that made every member of the team
come out from gruelling test with smile on
his face and word of congratuation to the boys
who took the victory our boys wanted
The Gazette believes honestly that winning the
craftsmanship trophy was much higher victory
than winning the consolation game. But we
would not belittle that. Upon every good play
and every mastery stroke in the game the team
is to be congratulated. Such playing was the
envy of the many teams watching it as could be
learned by comments heard on the sidelne.
For this credtabe playing and for the even
more creditable spirit of playing the game' as
it should be- played, men in charge of the boys
should be honored with the team members. It

term of three years at meeting or
the board held last week in Mime

of J. P. Vaughan Of Chisholm.
The meeting which was held at the
Curtis hotel brought out an amend

ton aimed at giving more effect to
the eiyhth-semester rule. The amend
ment forbids participation in athle-

has been in school over eight semest-

is under Is years of age at the end
of his eighth semester.
Under the old rule an athlete
could play ninth semester if he
was within five yearly credits of
graduation at the beginning of his
seventh semester in school. Charges
were made that several coaches had
managed to arrange the credits Of

J.lR. KEEFE FILES
FOR SENATORSHIP
REDWOOD BROWN
Redwood Falls Man Makes Bid
for Senate Seat Now Held
by ROmberg
PLANS HARD CAMPAIGN
Was in Legislature in 1912 and
Fathered Bill for Election
of u. S. Senators

Joseph R. Keefe, Redwood county
resident of many years standing, has
announced his candidacy for the Of
flee of State Senator from the Red
wood-Brown district. Mr.. Keefe
filed last Thursday at the request of
many voters of both counties who
have long felt that his return to the
legislature of Minnesota would be
beneficial both to his district and to
the state as a whole.
Mr.. Keefe began his experience in
the governing body in the session of
1911, when with Frank Clague in the
senate and Mr.. Keefe in the house,
this section of Minnesota earned re-
cognition from all parts of the state
for its outstanding representation in
both bodies. During that term Mr..
Keefe was author of the Keefe Bill
which gave to Minnesota residents,
for the first time, the right to elect
their own United States senator's in
stead of having these representatives
selected for them by the state legis-
lature. The credit for this bill and
the mastery way in which is was
enacted into law is due in great
measure to Mr.. Keefe's ability and
energy.
During that period also Mr.. Keefe
worked with Mr.. Clague to secure the
reservation of the present Alexander
Ramsey State Park as public pro-
perty, preserving it for all time to
the use of the citizens of the state.
At that time there was much opposl-
ton, combated in a large part by
Mr.. Keefe's warm personal interest,
to the making of this beauty spot IN
to a state park This park is now
cited repeatedly by Ray Chase, state
auditor, as one of the finest, possibly
the finest, public park in the state.
To his neighbors and friends of the
two counties, Mr.. keefe's consent to
become a candidate brings both per-
sonal and public satisfaction. AS
citizen of North Redwood and Red
wood Falls, he has always given gen.
erouSly of his time and LABOR In many
ways, including long terms as mem
Der of the boards of education and
in other public welfare projects. His
record as a private citizen is above
reproach.
Among the tenets of Mr.. keefe's
campaign platform are included eco
nomy in public affairs as far as is
compatible with reasonable growth
and progress, conservation of all ma
tural resources of the state, and CO.
operation with all programs of state
wide advancement, including the de-
velopment of the public schools Oh
the state and the furthering of the
good roads program outlined as far
as possible from the gasoline tax.

Locals First State Trial

Redwood Falls high school, under
the tutelage of K. w. Stockton won
its share of honors at the state

home the Sportsmanship trophy in
addition to winning the consolation

Redwood went down before CHS
holm in its first game, Thursday, in
the second game of the tourney.
Chisholm, hard driving outfit
from the Range, defeated Redwood,
26-13, Thursday afternoon, in the
first state championship game ever
engaged in by Redwood Falls team.
Stockton's charges opened the game
by assuming lead that was not
overcome until we'll in the third
period.
Redwood controlled the ball during
most of the first half and presented
a cool deliberate offense that proved
its effectiveness to the extent of pill

during this time and he fed Cuff and
Laidlaw well enough for them to
score three field goals while he was

self. Arnett and Bravinder were
also clicking perfectly during this
time and Redwood victory seemed
certain for time.
Chisholm came on the floor for the
third period with apparent intentions
of opening. wide up in an attempt to
break the Redwood attack. With the
Chisholm forwards going at top
speed and connecting with the basket
from every angle the score was tied
at the end of the third quarter after
which the Range team slowly pulled
away, with brilliant exhibition of
basket shooting and floor work.
Wells, champions of southwest
and team that won from
Austin sin the regional, was met and
defeated 26-16, Friday, for the right
to enter the consolation finals. Stock
toms charges launched an oTense
early in the game that left no doubt
as to the ultimate result. Bravind-
er, Cuff and Laidlaw scored enough
points during the first two periods
to make the game sale while lom
tlinn and Arnett stopped everything
that Wells had to offer. Laidlaw
scored nine points during the last
half to run his total to IL for the
game with Bravinder, Cuff and Finn

ARRESTS MADE FOR
BULKHEAD THEFT
Four Men Arrested for Theft of
Bow Ornament of u. S. S.
Minnesota

A case in which the local authorit-
les deserve considerable commenda-
ton and in which four men were ar
rested for the theft of the bulkhead
of the Battleship Minnesota was ter
minated last week after a rundown OF
scant clues which lasted for several
months. Sam Bluestone, James and
Levi Lieth, Morton Indians, and
Joseph Jettland, a laborer and Grim
inal were arrested and are now serv-
ing sentences for this theft.
The bow ornament of the old U.
S. S. Minnesota was given the gov
eminent of the state when the ship
was christened. When the ship was
taken out of service the ornament
was returned to the state, where 1T
lay in the Capitol building. Ray p.
Chase, in his capacity as state land
commissioner sent the ornament to
Redwood Falls where it was to be
put up in Ramsey State Park. The
ornament weighed several tons and
was made of bronze.
Being in several large pieces, part
of the ornament was stolen early last
October with the balance being TAX
en- some time later. These pieces
were found to have been sold to a
Junk dealer in St. Paul.
After scant information the local
authorities came upon clue that
led to the reservation at Morton.
Three arrests were made in which the
Indians confessed but also claimed
that Jettland instigated the theft.
After several weeks of searching
Jettland was found in Minneapolis.
Confessions were made.
The men were taken before Judge
A. H. Emerson at Marshall and re-
ceived their sentences. Sam Blue
stone and James Lieth were sent
enced to two years in Saltwater with
Levi Lieth, a youngster, given one
year at st. Cloud, with his sentence
suspended for three years on proba-
ton. Jettland plead not guilty and
rests in the county Jail with $1,000
bail over him. He will be bound over
