The deputies will reconvene Monday.

The foreign ministers are to sit down here November 25 to resume efforts to conclude the treaty. An American source, reporting results of today's conference, said there was "no progress; if anything, there was a setback." The American delegation contended that aceptance of the Russian proposal to create a German government would retard conclusion of a treaty. With French and British backing, U. S.

HJJ See us for estimates CROOKSTON, Nov, 8 (AP) Two youthful "badmen" 8 and 10 years old told Sheriff Torkel Knutson today "them movie cowboys" inspired them to shoot up nearby Fosston in their all-night crime spree Thursday. No one was injured. Fosston is 40 miles southeast of Crookston in northwestern Minnesota. Crying in vain to be released from Polk county jail here where they have been held without charge since their surrender at dawn Friday, the boys awaited appearance Monday in juvenile court. The sheriff said the boys told him, "We saw them movie cow boys doing all that shooting and we thought we could do it too." The pair surrendered after a Fosston posse surrounded them as they dashed from their stockyards barricade at Fosston.

Sheriff Knutson said the pair told him they had broken into five Fosston buildings, stole six rifles, several thousand rounds of ammunition, much of which was shot while holding off the posse; knives, candy, soft drinks, toys, and nearly $100. He said they also admitted upsetting more than a score of tombstones in the Fosston cemetery, pilfering two cars, and setting fire to a farmer's strawstack.
