VIVIANI AJfGRY
Following a hectic week-end of con
ferences fever the critical situation cre
ated by the defection of Argentina, the
general committee of the assembly held
a Ion:; meeting this morning.
It was understood that former Pre
mier Vivian! -of France was requested
to draw up an answer t ' Argentina's
representations, but there was consid
erable doubt as to whether he would
accept
M. -Vivian I is angry over develop
ments, relating to Argentina and was
not in a very conciliatory mood when
the 'assembly met The French states
man's wrath was aroused by the fact
that Premier Leygues of France had
joined Britain in a note to the league
opposing the immediate entrance into
the league of Armenia. He . had been
supporting the immediate entrance of.
Armenia in the bielief that it repre
sented the attitude of his government
THREATE5S TO RESIGN
It was learned that M. Vivian! tele
graphed to Paris, demanding that in
the future he be thoroughly informed
of the French government's policy, 60
he could act accordingly.
M. Vivian! was so incensed over the
repudiation by the French foreign of
fice of his efforts in behalf of Ar
menia's admission into the league that
he even threatened to resign from the
French delegation.
rpitethe firmness of the Argentine
note, delegates expressed the opinion
that Dr. Pueyrredon was . "bluffing."
They pointed out that he had engaged
a reservation of a train for Paris to
night, but later canceled it ,
A delegate of one leading power told
the correspondents that "not a single
delegate favors Inviting Argentina to
return to the fold."
Lord Robert Cecil, representative of
South Africa, warned the delegates that
there must be no secret diplomacy in
handling the-Argentine situation..
LEGES FREE DISCUSSIOX
"Argentina's action shows the neces
sity for free discussions and full pub
licity in all matters," said Lord Rob
ert Cecil. "I had hoped that Argentina's-
proposals would be discussed.
Haduhe Argentine delegation remained,
they would have been discussed. I think
a large part of the delegates to the as-
embly have sympathy for the Ar
gentines, but if every delegation took
the same line as Argentina, the league
could not exist The Scandinavians
Lshowed a much truer spirit when their
resolutions pertaining to amendments
were not considered."
Lord Robert Cecil said that "the as
sembly was unshaken by the action of
Argentina."

that the United States National bank,

PEACE BID MADE
BY INFERS
. . By Webb Miller
London, 3ec. 6. (U. P.) Cessa
tion of fighting appeared Imminent
today.
With a Sinn Fein peace offer in
his hands;. Premier Lloyd George
was expected , to accept the opportu
nity to end bloodshed on the. island,
perhaps making an announcement in
commons today. "
The bid for peace came from Father
Michael O'Flannagan, a vice president
of the Sinn Fein organization and Its
acting ' head. He telegraphed Lloyd.
George: ' . '
"You state you are willing to make
peace immediately and hope Ireland also
is willing. What first step do you pro
pose?" The London press welcomed signs of
an approaching truce. The Post alone
commented unfavorably. .
There jwas opposition both here and In
Ireland. Some Sinn Fein leaders de
clared they are not ready to undertake
peace now, which would result In a
compromise of their demands. Other
leaders approved O'Flannagan's offer.
Meanwhile, anti-Sinn Fein activities
continued throughout Kngland and Ire
land. , At Liverpool, two women, one a
school teacher, were arrested on charges
of complicity in Sinn Fein plots. Hugh
O'Reilly, town clerk, accused of par
ticipating in raids. Was taken by the
constabulary.
A dispatch from Dublin quoted a state
ment from Sinn Fein headquarters as
saying;
"No pour parleurs, official or unoffi
cial, have been sanctioned. Nothing will
be done while! the Sinn Fein leaders are
la jail, for nothing can be done."

determine whether his plan is adaptable
to Oregon on a paying basis.
Charles M. Schwab, steell magnate.
has declared that steelmaking is impos
sible without pig iron being placed
through three . processes, yet Henry
Ford is using a single process in its
production.- The Ford process, however,
is said to "be radically different from
the Snyder plan.
tider the system now in vogue, iron
is deoxidized by the use of charcoal.
but in using this substance the product
is carburized, necessitating still an
other process for extraction of carbon.
sulphur and other substances foreign to
finished steel.
By distilling wood gas and using it
in place of charcoal, Snyder" claims that
the chemical properties will be such
that all these foreign matters will be
removed and carbon will not be present
to make another process necessary.
ELECTRIC FCBSACES USED
Then, under the charcoal process, the
Iron becomes of the consistency of
putty. ' To heat it to the proper tem
perature, the' Snyder, plan is to use
electric furnaces in connection with the
gas burners and have the molten steel
come from the furnaces at the proper
consistency for handling.
Snyder claims that his plan has al
ready been tried out on a small scale
in the East and has proved practical.
Other production plans which involve
chemical schemes are being considered
by Snyder. He is interested In the pos
sibility of making charcoal briquettes.
Oregon has been unable to form a big
charcoal industry because of the impos
sibility to transport this product great
distances. There are cells in charcoal
which absorb oxygen from the air when
left In the open and this in conjunction
with other chemical properties of the
substance make spontaneous combus
tion a great danger.
Snyder believes the charcoal Industry
can be made a paying industry by grind
ing this substance into a powder, there
by eliminating the porous cells and then
cementing this powder inty briquettes
through the use of a binder.
Snyder is planning to leave Portland
this evening to return to New York,
where he will consider more thoroughly
the data which he has gathered during
his visit here.

Three huge appropriation requests
all caused by the war stand out, repre

estimate. The first is $1,188,104,864.87 for
interest on and a' sinking fund to pay
off the nation's war debt of more than
twenty-four billion dollars. The esti
mate was $922,650,000. The total for
these two accounts was $40,000,000 less
than the appropriations during the cur
rent fiscal year, due to a reduction in
the public debt ' -
5ATT ffEEDS MORE
The war department request for the
next? year totals approximately"$335,000,
000, or almost equal to the total expenses
of the government 10 years ago. Similar
appropriations for the present yea
arnounted to only $485,000,000.
The navy department estimates that
it will need more than $695,000,000 dur
ing the hext year, or approximately
$355,000,000 more than was granted by
congress during the current year. The
estimate for naval construction calls for
an expenditure of $184,000,000. This is
to complete naval craft authorized in
1916, and in addition Secretary Daniels
will ask for the authorization of another
bu i Id ingprogram.
The main divisions of the' government
that are asking less money next year
than they are receiving during the pres
ent year 1 are the war risk insurance
bureau, the pension department, the
federal board for vocational education,
the department of agriculture and the
White House. '

day. although still highly excited. Many
members of the mob of 3000 which bat
tled last night for the prisoners In the
county jail had -gone to their homes to
day, but they were replaced by others.
JAIL IS GUARDED
No trouble was feared by officers to
day and the space around the jail was
comparatively clear. A heavy guard,
however, was maintained..
Deputy Sheriff John M. Boyes today
was appointed sheriff by the board of
supervisors to succeed Petray. He at
once made arrangements to maintain a
heavy guard night and day over the
jail. .
Coroner Frank If. Phillips impaneled
a jury and the bodies of the three of
ficers were viewed. The inauest will be
held at a later date.
Arrangements were completed to ship
the bodies of Jackson and Dorman to
San Francisco this afternoon.
The funeral of Sheriff Petray will be
held from the Healdsburg Episcopal
church tomorrow afternoon.
Late yesterday Sheriff Petray and the
two San Francisco detectives' entered a
house here at the rear of the?! T-oscana
hotel. Ten minutes later deputies out
side heard a fusillade of shots. Rushing
in they found Petray dead, Jackson dy
ing and Dormaa and Boyd badly
wounded. Four guns were on the floor.
Five, shots had been fired from Boyd's
gun.
Officers learned Boyd had been con
cealed In a closet and opened fire from
that vantage point, Petray being his
first victim. .
MOB ASSEMBLES
Soon after the prisoners had been re
moved to the jail a crowd began to
gather. By 6 o'clock it numbered 2000.
Automobiles brought angry farmers
from all over the county. At 8 o'clock
automobiles arrived from Healdsburg,
Sheriff Petray's home, every machine
carrying a coil of rope.
At 9 o'clock the venerable Judge Em
met Sewell, one of the best beloved of
ficials of the county, made a personal
plea t the mob to "save our county
from the stain of a lynching." From
the crowd came back : ""Lynch them !"
At 10 :3Q the mob began Its attack orf
the jail. Telephone poles were used as
battering rams against the steel doors.
When these failed steel rails torn from
the railroad track nearby were pressed
into service. Again and again the
deputies, reinforced by a dozen San
Francisco detectives, beat the mob back.
FIREMEN CALLED OCT
Finally the situation became so des
perate that the city fire department was
called out Its numbers, reinforced by
high, pressure hose, caused the mob to
waver.
Boyd'a condition was unchanged today
and surgeons held out hope for his re
covery. The Qulnlan woman came here Satur
day from San Francisco with Valentl.
She has two children in San Francisco.
Following the shooting she eluded cap
ture for an hour but was found hiding
in a telephone booth at the railroad sta
tion. Today a state-wide search Is on for
Louis Lazarus, who is said to have es
caped from the death house.
In addition to Boyd, Fitts, Valentl
arid the Quinlan woman, Daniel J. Fitz
gerald was in the room at the time the
shooting took place. Fitzgerald -is a
local man and is being held as a wit
ness only.
Three' arrests were made during the
night among the mob leaders. Twice
shots were exchanged between the
guards and the mob. but all were fired
into the air. . The guards were under
orders to shoot to kill only as a last

FAMILY FLEE FIRE;
SL1DETW0ST0RIES
Hemmed in by a fire that was a
roaring furnace before they wcr
awakened, occupants of thn J. R.
Gerber home, 871 Itamblet avenu.
were forced to flee the house in their
night clothes from the second story
window at 12:45 o'clock thist morn-faff-
When Gerber was awakened by the
Japanese servant he found escape by the
stairway impossible, as the fire " had
eaten its way from tho - basement
through the f irnt floor and was fast
working its way to the second story.
Hastily he tied the bed clothes together
andmade a rope ladder for his wife and
6-year-old son Francis. t0 descend ,ln
safety. Neighbors were aroused by this
time and brought a ladder for Ora Ger
ber, cousin to Francis, and Gerber and
tne servant.
SHELLS EXPLODED !
Gerber had hardly left his room, be
fore the flums were in it, and as he
reached the ground he heard several
loud explosions in his room,- which Indi
cated that the flames had reached the
clothes closet and exploded a box: of
shotgun shells. i
" The explosions attracted Tatrolmen
Hinds and Babcock, who had visions of
a big holdup or murder, but by the time
they arrived it was impossible to assist
the family. 1
Engine 18 and Assistant Fire Marshal
Roberts answered the first alarm. Rob
erts saw the fire as he was crossing Sul
livan's gulch on the Twenty-eighth street
bridge. When he arrived engine IS had
water on the fire, but a high wind was'
hindering. Roberts had a neighbor call
ior luuio jiciy, vtsiuo tie aanisivu itic auc
men.
EIRE IS CONTROLLED
Engine 14, a triple pumper, truck 4 and
Assistant Chief Iudenklos responded,
and shortly after their arrival the. fire
was brought under control, but firemen
fought for an hour before finally extin
guishing it.
Roberts Baid this morning that Gerber
was disappointed over the-service given
by the fire department, and complained,
because only one company had been sent
on the .first ; alartn. Roberts checked
back on tho complaint and found that
,tho telephone report of the fire did not
give its seriousnes.s, and owing to the
scarcity of apparatus In the "city tho
alarm operator never sends' more than
one company into the residence section
on the first alarm unless the informant
gives information showing the need of
more. Had it not been for tho high wind
engine 18 could probably have handled
the fire alone, Roberts believes. The
total loss is estimated at $8000 by Rob
erts, and Is partially covered by insur
ance. CIGAR HOUSE BtRSiS
