~ PROBLEM WILL *~oWAS TOUGHEST 4 produce in its wildest and woolliest < TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1927 DISARMAMENT BE DISCUSSED U. S. Hopes Britain, Japan Will Agree to Limitation of Navies Geneva, June 14.—()—Whether Great Britain and Japan are ready to agree on limitation, if not reduc- tion, of their naval strength is the question which the American govern- ~,ment desires to see answered at ‘the three-power naval conference which ns here June 20. The answer—affirmative or nega- tive, as the case may be—is expect- ed to determine whether the United . States will be content with keeping up her present naval power, oF, pushed into preparedness, decide to develop considerably her fleets, per- hans, indeed, entering naval arma- ment race, which President Coolidge has indicated he wishos to avoid. Is Vital to U. S. The forthcoming conference, con- voked by President Coolidge, is vi- tal for the three participants, the Jnited States, Great Britain and n, but in a wider sense its result peted to influence the problem world disarmament - in __ its entirety. Jf satisfactory, experts are con- vineed it will help forward the pro- jected general conference for reduc- of armaments—sea, land and which the League of Nations is sparing, If the tripartite parley they believe it will weaken the gencral league movement, already en- feebled the failure of the pre- paratory armament commission to seture accord.on big issues, includ- ing: that of the best method of reduc- ing. navies. ne Hope for Treaty The object of the three-power con- ference is to evolve a treaty for the reduction or limitation of naval strength in cruisers, destroyers and submarines. The Washington con- rence hus already taken< care of battleships and ai aft carriers and limited the size individual cruis- ers to 10,000 tons, though it in no way restricted the total number or ail tonnage of cruisers which the ent powers may build. Since the hington conference both Great in and Japan have ‘umped far of the United States in cruis- eight. 5 ie Counting ships built, building or projected, American figures show ‘ythat the United States has 18 cruis- ers, Japan 32 and Great Britain 71. Naval technicians think, howeyer, that a fairer way of estimating naval power is by comparing the total ton- nage in a given type of warship. Using this system, we find that t United States possesses.g total crui er tonnage of 155,000° Japan 211,- nd Great Britain 454,910. In destroyers, the American posi- tion is more favorable. The United States has, or will have, 284 de- stroyers as against 201 for Great Britain and 115 for Japan, but many of+ the American destroyers have heen out of commission since the war, American submarines number 26° as against 90 for Great Britain and 76 for Japan. DEACON'S SON INS. D. HILLS Wild Bill Hickok Taught Buf- falo Bill His Stuff— Was Crack Shot BY PETER EDSON Rapid City, $8. D., June 14.—(NEA) —It took a bad man from the Black Hilts of South Dakota, where Presi- dent Coolidge will spend his vaca- tion, to drop Wild Bill Hickok. Bad men from other diggings, the worst the wild and woolly west could + days, Wild Bill met and invariably bettered. Wild Bill Hickok was the man who taught Buffalo Bill Cody most of his stuff. Wild Bill Hickok was probably the best shot the west ever knew—“the prince of pistoleers.” Plenty of Notches Wild Bill Hickok was entitled to between thirty and a hundred notches .y his gun. ‘Single-hande@ he cleaned up Hays City, Abilene and Cheyenne, the ends of the railroads in the days when cattlemen drove their longhorns to the railheads, became animated skin- fuls’of hard licker, and then ‘looked up the town marshal to pay ‘their respects in perforations of lead. Wild Bill Hickok in his day “spill enough blood to paint a buggy,” but every drop of its was “shed on the side of law and order. As town marshal in the three toughest communities of the world, he was judge, jury and lord bigh executioner all rolled into one. He made bragging, staggering, swagger- ing, shooting cow persons park their pistols at the city clerk’s office and behave, E When he ordered “no gambling,’ the whist game at the banker's houge stopped, as well as the faro and poker tables to which Wild Bill him- self had a fancy. If he met a dance hall siren or a woman of the town who had too much paint on her face, he sent her home. Wild Bill was the son of a Scotch Presbyter- ian deacon, it shopld be explained. Tall—gnd e Gentleman Calamity Jane, who shares honors with Wild Bill in the Deadwod ‘tem- etery to the north. of the summer ‘* white house, wai tough customer, but Wild Bill was a gentleman. He was six feet end an inch tall and built like a wi of wild cat— broad at tee se ‘gis, i to narrow ‘hips ai om astral jogs. His chestnut hair’ fell in Jo: ee coe gtaph poles with a gun in either hand, fire both weapons simultan- eously, and hit both marks. Fired With His Thumbs He was a pulse shooter. His guns were triggerless and the hammers filed smooth. As he drew his weapons, his thumb automatically came on the hammer. In raising to fire the weight of the pistol was enough to cock the weapon. Releas- ing the thumb—there was another victim, And was he a gentleman? Gen-} eral Custer assérts that he aliays | paid for the funeral of his target. | To have had your daddy killed by Wild Bill was an honor. The white-handled brace of pistols he carried in the Black Hills— originals of the white-handled _pis- | tpls carried by every later dime- novel hero—were presented to him by Henry Wilson, Grant’s vice presi- dent, to whom Wild Bill served as guide for a trip through the west in the summer of 69. The fabric of Wild Bill's life story is naturally a shoddy of romantic legend and lies, though the man him- self was all wool. He was born in Mlinois when the west was popu- lated by 10,000,000 buffalo and 60,00 Indians, He got his first gun when he was eight. He earned his pin money shooting wolves for the bounty. Still in his 'teens, he walked to St. Louis, shot his way into Jim Lane's Red Legs, put an end to In- dian stage coach massacres, was wagon master, sharpshooter and spy for General Fremont, crossed no- man’s land under a hail “of fire in broad daylight several times, fought | a hand-to-hug battle with a mother | bear protecting two cubs, and ac- counted for Conquering Bear, Sioux hief, in a bloody Bowie knife duel. | He had a famous hrrse, of course! —Black Nell. She would walk into a saloon at her master’s bidding and lie down beside pool table to wait for him. The horse, ‘unfortunately, never got into Black Hills history. Married Circus Woman 2 In 1876, after Buffalo Bill had tried unsuccessfully to make an actor of him, Wild Bill wis married to Mrs, Agnes Lake, owner of the circus which gave Barnum’s partner, Bailey, his start, and which was the fore- runner of the present John Robin- son’s show. Wild Bill and his bride, some years his senior, went east to Cincinnati for their honeymoon, which lasted two wi Then Wild Bill got the gold fever and went to the Bi Hills. He never saw his wife again Hickok arrived in the Black Hills in June. He took the guns away from some Montana toughs who wanted to shoot him just for the glory of it. At peace with the world, he went prospecting. On Aug. 2, 1876, he was enjoying a quiet game of poker. For the first time in his life he was sitting with his back to a door, Jack McCall, the assassin, sauntered in, walked up to the bar, and fired his shot through Wild Bill's head, The great Wild Bill slid from his chair, his hand clutching what has since been known as the dead man’s hand, two pairs — aces and eights.

Present Banner Pictures Growth of United States During 150 Years Washington, June 14.—()—The Stars and Stripes, that stirring em- blem symbolizing’ all of the ideals which have fostered the United States and made it great as-a nation, is 150 years old fouay: The rough journal of the Second Continental Congress discloses this entry among a series of Marine Com- joins resolutions adopted June 14, 1777: “Resolved, That the flag of the United States be 18 stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be 18 stars white in a blue field rep- resenting a new constellation.” Celebrated Today Today, throughout the nation, wherever the flag is reverenced, the sesquicentennial of that act is being celebrated by officials, patriotic soci- eties and individuals, under the guid- ance of the United States Flae As- sociation, of which Col. James A. Moss, is founder and director gen- eral, - The flag to which homage is being paid today, with its 48 stars and 13 stripes, not only represents the ideals on which the nation is based but pictures its growth in 150 years from a group of 13 British colonies fight- ing for independence to a world power comprising 48 closely knit states. Who designed and made the first United States flag under the reso- lution of the Continental C: and what became of it, rem: puted question among historians. seems to be established, however, that it was created to meet the need of the struggling republic’s revolu- tionary navy, an Jones, who was given command of the ‘Ranger in the same series of resolutions which included the first flag act, was the first to raise it aloft with his own hands on his new ship. After 18 Years * Eighteen years passed after adop- tion of the first flag resolution be- fore Congress moved to make the act more specific and to allow for representation in the flag’s design of new states, declaring that after May 1, 1795, the emblem should have 15 stars ad 15 stripes. Such a flag, flying from the rampai of Fort MeHenry during the British attack on Baltimore, inspired Frances Scott Key to write “The Star Spangled Banner.” Not until 1818 was the act assed restoring the original num- Ber of stripes, determining that they should be horizontal,: and making provision for the addition of a star in the blue. canton to represent each state as it was jadmitted to the Union, ’ Bills Allowed By | |.

PUBLIC FAVOR HELPS SPEED “TESTING WORK Support Aids in Speedy Erad- ication of Bovine Tubercu- losis, Crewe Says } Strong sentiment in favor of the campaign to eradicate’ bovine tuber- culosis from North Dakota and the cordial cooperation of farmers have done much to speed this work i recent years, according to Dr. W. F. Crewe, state’ veterinarian. During the year ending May 1, Crewe said, his department has con- ducted tuberculin tests on 11,204 herds containning 193,570 cattle. Of this number only 2,038 were listed as “reactors” or animals afflicted with the disease. 8 Counties Tested Testing in eight counties was com- i pleted during the year, he said, and} all: were placed on the, modified ac- credjted list, bringing the total num- ber of counties so accredited ~ to eighteen. He hopes to complete five more counties before July 4. Because of farming conditions pecuiliar to the state it is impos- sible to carry on the -camnajgn throughout the entire year, Crewe said, but the work will be pushed from now until harvest time. After harvesting and threshing begin the farmers are too busy tobe interested in this service, he said.
