At the Oregon Packing company canneries on Twelfth steet and Thirteenth street, too, there were waiting wagons with berries blocks long at dark last evening and they had been coming that way all day. It was the same at all the can neries and packing houses. The black cherry packers were very busy. The Bings are shading off now, with the Lamberts just around the corner.

S. D.; July 5. (AP) From the center of a mammoth crowd of westerners. President Coolidge, wearing a "ten-gallon'' hat, today watched the tri-state round-up, a spectacle of skill and daring on horse and steer. I A perfect day added to the president's pleasure at viewing for the first time a celebration of this kind in a natural setting, and as the bucking broncho and unruly steers charged about in the arena before him, he looked on with a broad smile." Seated with Mrs. Coolidge, Sen ator Norbeck, of South Dakota, Mrs. Norbeck, and other memhers of his party, in a box directly in front of the main grandstand, Mr. Coolidge received his first genuine taste of what was the only life and pleasure a decade ago in the coun try he chose for his summer resi dence. Cowboys and cowgirls, dressed in the clothes of the west, tackled wild steer and unridden horses for his entertainment, and when an especially daring or skillful piece of work was done, he applauded or turned to Senator Norbeck for an explanation. The crowd was in a holiday mood and laughed whenever a cowboy on . horse, galloped in front of Mr. Coolidge and called: "Hello Cal." The president smiled back and also was amused when the round-up announcer specified one of the bucking bronchos as "Cal Coolidge." When Dakota Clyde Jones, in charge of the Custer state park rangers, and the president's fav orite entry, dashed out of the chute astride a wildly bucking broncho, and stuck to its back, both Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge ap plauded loudly.

RAISES TONNAGE Maximum Cruiser Limit Set at 400,000 Tons; England May Hold 0nt for More; Seri ous Effects Seen GENEVA, Switzerland. July 5. A crucial stage has been reached in the tri-partite naval confer ence. Whether events at this cri tical turning point pushed the pour parlors toward an actual rup ture, or toward an actual treaty, undoubtedly depends chiefly on Great Britain. The United States, today actu ated, it is said, by a conciliatory desire to understand British cruis er needs, and meet them as far as possible, practlcajly told the naval delegates that It would go to the extreme maximum limit of 400, 000 tons, which is 100,000 tons more than the maximum for cruis ers contained in the original Am erican proposal; but strongly in dicated simultaneously, that it would exert continued effort to put limitation well under 4 00,000 tons. Denies Aggressive Designs ' The sudden American initiative induced W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, to receive the press representatives tonight, and to them he vigor ously denied reports that Great Britain was animated by aggres sive designs in asking for a large number of small cruisers. The naval delegates as a whole, appear to- desire to understand British' cruiser requirement?, but it was indicated that the United States must go still higher if Great Britain's needs are to be fully re cognized. The situation is that the United States has raised the figure in criuser tonnage, but the question remains whether Great Britain, manifesting a similar con ciliatory attitude, will abandon (Continued on Pace 5.)

(AP) -Police here today arrested a man giving the name of Jack Ren fro, who said he was a printer and pressman, and were holding him pending the arrival of an of ficer from Salem, Ore., who was to attempt to identify 60 linotype space bands and five numbering machines which the man was said to have attempted to sell to the Longview Daily News. Theft of 100 space bands from the Oregon Statesman, Salem, was reported yesterday. Renfro claimed he came here from Canada. Police said he ad mitted, having served a two-year t(rm in McNeil island federal prison for a shooting affair. Police communicated with Salem authori ties, and R. J. Hendricks, publish er of the Statesman. A deputy sheriff, accompanied L by representatives of The States man, left for Longview with a warrant early this morning to take the man giving his name as Renfro. into custody or to start extradition proceedings if neces sary. Identification of the stolen goods as the property of The Statesman was expected to -be simple for the reason that the numbering machines each bore serial numbers which were re corded in the office here. OFFICIAL FILES ANSWER Rnilding and Loan Association Stock Misleading, Claim Attorneys for George E.

The answer states that, the as sociation has been printing on its stock the words "controlled and supported by the state" creating a wrong impression in the minds of prospective patrons; and that the firm unlawfully offers in its pub licity to waive the membership fee after 12 consecutive deposits have been made on the stock. The state seeks to revoke the license of the loan association on these grqunds. Warning that the license of the firm would be can celled unless the grounds of com plaint were corrected was given by the corporation commissioner on June 14, according to .the answer. - BAND CONCERT PLEASES Song Honoring Lindbergh Sung By Gingrich, First Time.
