"I'm not trying tp tell the council what : to do." retorted Kellaher. "I'm only re minding, them of their piedg-es to those who helped put through the playgrounds bond issue." - While the. council has gone about pur chasing playground sites all over the ' city. Kellaher hasi watched the proceed ings vigilantly, and frequently has ap- , peared to ask why consideration was not .given the Williams avenue tract. Wednesday morning he appeared again with Rev. John Dawson, a booster for , the Williams avenue site, said that Com missioner Pier, who was head of the de partment of finance has been conducting jthe negotiations for the playgrounds, had stated he would purchase the property. ; He asked the council to suspend further purchase of grounds until Pier returns from his vacation. . three weeks hence. "This council Is not to be brow beaten." put In Commissioner Barbur. "I don't believe In people coming here telling us what we' can do and what we can' do."

As to wage reductions. be Mid, labor would tolerate no such thing and would resist to the last ditch.

In deed, he thinks 'the covenant ought to be revised. 1 In explaining his views to the writer. the Republican candidate repudiated the inference that he would eliminate the entire treaty of Versailles including the covenant consideration.- - TREATY AS BASIS He declared- that 'of course the orig inal structure would be used as a basis for remodeling and revision.

For the present. Senator Harding Is concerned with the division In the ranks of Republicanism - which grew out of the fight in the senate between the bitter enders like Senators Johnson and Borah and the "mild reservationlsts" and the Lodge reservationlsts. . Senator Harding tried in his speech of acceptance to avoid the details of a. pro gram, rather being content to etate a broad policy of preserved nationality on the one hand with assured keeping of the American . conscience for ourselves which he believes, inspired all the oppo sition in the senate. , and on the other hand, "To assure the world of American readiness to do our part in prompting international - peace through Justice rather than force.

July 28.--Seventy-tw6 hours since the murder of Sheriff Til Taylor and the escape of six prisoners from the county Jail ended -at 2 ; o'clock Wednesday afternoon with no further arrests. Officers -in charge of the hunt. however, have taken on a veil of silence, which, accompanied by fre quent conferences behind closed doors, portend developments soon. Inspector Achle Leonard of the Port land police, department arrived Wednes day and Joined in the direction of the search.

In fact, officers, poase- men and all connected with the case maintained a strict silence or assured questioners that nothing new had de veloped. , n COIfFEREIfCES ARE HELD No further word of the brush with two men at Duncan early Wednesday morning was reported. Local persons, who met a westbound train at noon, sur mised that the two men had been cap tured when an Idaho official, tsking two youths to Monroe reformatory, stepped off . the train and brought his manacled pair to the county jail for safekeeping. Conferences between5 the' trained of ficers were said to be for the purpose of organising for the hunt Wednesday night. Some of the possemen, young, flighty and inexperienced, are feared a menace to others on the search, and, ere someone Is Injured, the officers say theyfcvant to remove some of them.
