ee PAGE TEN SOLDIER WELCOME TO BE GIVEN HERE, NOT IN EAST FIRST SCHEME Representatives in East Fi Glad Hand to Good nd It Impossible to Extend Advantage There and New Plans Are Announced in State. CHEYENNE, Wyo., March ing of Wyoming soldiers upon will be done, for the most par some eastern seaport. Governor Carey less be a nice thing for the so the glad hand as soon as they were once more in America, such a scheme had been found impracticable, and that the next best thing would be to give them a rousing reception as soon as they were once more in Wyo- ming. Upon their arrival in New York re- cently J. H. Montgomery and Dr. W. S. Bennett and Guthrie Nichol- son, who had been named by the gov- ernor to welcome the members of the 116th Ammunition train, found that it would be impossible to do much for the men. As soon as the return- ing soldiers reach shore they are put thru th de-lousing process and are then hurried to some nearby camp— usually Camp Dix or Camp Merritt. Often they do not get within nites of downtown New York. The result is that it is difficult to get any con- siderable number of them together at one time, and the receptions and din- ners which the state would like to give have to be dore away with. Furthermore, the cost of getting the men to New York after they have been sent to camp, and in the big city giving them an like a biz spread, would cost as high Slo a man, and at that rate the 710,000 appropriated by the 1919 legislature would soon be exhausted. The Wyoming commissioners found that the needs of the 116th were be- ing well taken care of in the ea: and that what most of the men want- ed more than anything else was the chance to get home in the shortest le time. To have taken them y York might have delayed their arrival here by two or three da Wall of the etary Herbert Mountain club of New York this week requested the state of Wy ming to furnish $100 for a wreath to be placed over Fifth avenue Tue day in honor of the Wyoming dead. The on was the return of the, 27th division, and the message se to Cheyenne by Mr. Wall indicated that t division contained a num- ber of men from this state. As a mat- ter of fact it is made up of New York national guardsmen, and if any | Wyoming men slipped into it they! nist have gotten there by mistake. | The Rocky Mountain club has re- quested that a large share of the $10,000 be p dat its disposal, but Chairman Montgomery of the welcoming commission found that the money could be put to better ad- vantage here, and so he spent nothing on the 116th when they were in the eas! We are doing all we can to keep track of the Wyoming men,” said Governor Carey today. “Whenever and wherever possible we shall do our best to let them know that we are more than glad to have them back here among us. If the 148th Field Artillery comes back in a body we will try to look after the needs of the Wyoming members when they reach } York. But in the main our efforts will be contined to welcoming our soldiers when they get back among their home fol In a telegram to a Wyoming news- Secretary Wall made the fol- £ comment: The ‘Twenlty;-seventh containing boys from your st ade up Fifth avenue will see the wreaths placed by other states on the roll of honor. How will they feel, returning to their native land from the mud of trenches in France, when they note there is no wreath placed on the honor roll in memory of the boys of your state who made the supreme sacrific “Please do not permit your state to be conspicuous by its absence. Am advised that the committee on decora- tions for the parade informed your yrovernor that the wreath would not more than $100 for the parade Therefore quick action is division, ate, will he Rocky Mountain club will ntee the cost, leaving it to the wenerously inclined of your state to provide the $100 needed if the state does not consider it. It is the duty of participate in this dead who gave their all.” “Mr. Wall and everybody else may as well understand,” said Governor Carey today, when shown the above message, “that Wyoming is not go- ing’ to allow them to run wild in spending this state's money in wel- coming soldiers to New York. Every- body has heard of the unfortunate jon growing out of Mayor Hy- lan’s appointment of William Ran- dolph Hearst as chairman of the wel- coming committee, and the refusal of a number of others to serve on account of Hearst’s presence, and I for one do not propose that Wyoming shall become embroiled in such a row. “The Rocky Mountain club evi- dently thot we were going to turn over the entire $10,000 appropriated, for use as it saw fit, but it had an- other gue: coming. It wanted similar sums from every western state, but tribute to the this y. history 1 the people of your state to} 27.— (Special) —The welcom- their return from overseas duty t, on Wyoming soil, and not at announced today that, while it would doubt- ldiers if they were to be given it didn’t get them. If Mr. Wall ob- ;jects to the way we are spending the $10,000, I am sorry, but, inas- much as the people of Wyoming, and not he, are footing the bill, I don’t see where he has any kick coming.” In this connection it is interesting to recall the recent semi-official an- ;nouncement that the present state ad- “ministration will not content itself with merely giving the returning soldiers the glad hand, but will, so far as practicable, give them prefer- ence in handing out jobs within its jurisdiction. CARS PLE UP AS SOFT ROAD AED GNES WAY Twenty Thousand Gallons of Oil Lost and Equipment Damaged in Northwestern Wreck Above Powder River. | The rapidity with which his train was moving probably saved the lives of Engineer C. J. Johnston and his fireman, in ajwreck which occurred | between Powder River and Waltman Sunday evening, in which five oil cars, two heavy carloads of ties and one empty gondola car piled up in one of the worst smashes that has oc- curred on the western division of the Northwestern. The engineer's version of the af- fair is that the train was moving rapidly when it reached a new fili the engine crossed the track the engine crew felt the track sink for an instant before they reached firmer road bed. A moment later they heara a roar and the cars began to pile up. The engine and the remainder of the cars advaneed over 800 feet teariug up all intervening trackage before the ‘ain was stopped. The wreck occurred at the site of a new cut, between six and cight feet deep. One of the oil tanks was thrown clear up on the embankment while the remainder of the cars were battered into a mass of junk com ' pletely blocking the cut. According to the statement of the ‘railroad company the loss in equip ment amounted to about $1,000 with an additional $1,600 loss sustained when the track was torn up. This amount does not include the loss o1 approximately 20,000 gallons of oil out of the 100,000 gallons which were being shipped to the Midwest Re- fining company here from the Pilot Butte field at Riverton. Conductor Stanley Sliezeski and brakemen were at the rear of the train when the smash up occurred. They all escaped however with mi- nor bruises after being badly jarred and bumped around. a = BORN IN PATROL WAGON SEATTLE.—tThe first page in the of the life of Baby Paige, now at the city hospital, will say she was born in a police patrol on.

The other day a tramp appeared at the Burnham kitchen door and isked for a “hand out.” Mrs. Burn- ham told him she had nothing and the cost of living was too high to waste anything. As the tramp left the yard he met Georre coming in. Stepping to one side the tramp sized him up and then! Nothin’ doin’ here, pard. She done turned me down cold.
