The fight took place at the intersection of the main business streets, where several thousand people had gathered to witness the parade, when Sheriff Bob Buchanan of McLennan county, leader of the posse, stepped in front of the approaching column and attempted to wrest the American Bag from the leading white-clad figure.

It Is estimated probably 50 white-robed, masked figures had passed when the sheriff Intervened. Then a shot was fired, followed immediately by a succession of shots. 1l the melee which followed, the sheriff was knocked down, but quickly regained Ills feet.

BANKERS GIVEN OPTIMISTIC VIEW Financial Leader Says Things , Are Looking Better Than a Year Ago. WORLD NOT RIDINS TO RUIN President of American Banker*’ Aaaociation Review* Condition* In 42,000-Word Report—Says Readjustment Is Proceeding.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 6. —The disposal of billions of dollars by some 24.000 banks was cheerfully discussed at the opeulng of the forty-seventh annual conventiou here of the American Bankers’ association. Things are looking better, the times are not so badly out of joint as a yeai* ago, irresistible forces are working in the turning over of these billions of dolors toward more prosperous times and the pessimist with theories of depression is out of place, it was said by leaders ‘ln the nation’s financial world. The program of the formal opening session was feutured by a 42,000-word report by the president of the association. John S. Drum of Sau Francisco. It was a revieS: of the situation today. a couritrywide economic survey expressing the opinion of more than n thousand bunkers. A 12,500-word analysis of it was followed by a summary of the condition In every state President Drum crystallized it in these 20 words; “Tliere is nothing In eitHer the domestic or the foreign situation to give rise to the pessimistic conclusion that the world is riding straight to ruin.’’ "Rational examination of our condition today,” Mr. Drum said, “must prove to the greatest doubter that our problems sre but the natural manifestations of-a worid-wlde maladjustment that great natural forces are working to remedy.” > More than 1,000 reports were the basis, he said of his address, “Our Situation Today—A Countrywide Economic Survey," In part it follows: “The output of finished goods throughout the country is considerably smaller than It was a year ago, and measurably smaller than it was six months ago. There Is a surplus of manufactured commodities In the hands* of the producers. A progressive decline In the costs of manufacturing has taken place during the yenr. In industry as a whole, the costs of materials, labor and construction have declined In the order named. “Increased efficiency of labor has been’ the natural result of unemployment on a large scale, (jut the efficiency of men in the building trades in the country, ns.a whole has not increased, although, there are exceptions to this.
“The reports I have received have also shown that the three great domestic influences that more than all others are retarding the readjustment of prices and costs sire these: “1. Delayed adjustment of cbst of labor, which prevents-adequate 'eduction of prices of iiymmcvtlrife commodities and services in the cost of which tlie cost of labor Is the most Important factor, and also serves to prevent full employment of labor. This Is due both to slow adjustment of compensation of labor and the continuation of shop rules that impair efficiency. _ # “2. Sustained high costs of transportation. which prevent natural and normal -movement of commodities of ail kinds to markets. “3. Continuation of an unsound system of taxation that diverts working capital, from its, proper channels and thereby prevents accumulation of working capital that Is necessary for increased production, for installation of Improved of production and for full employment of labor. "It Is true that many problems, hoth domestic and foreign, are standing In the way of restoration of stable conditions and normal domestic and world prosperity. But the forces that are working to solve, these problems are irresistible.” GERMANY 0.
