With a record of almost 100 per cent, the employes of the Standard refinery this week set the pace for other indus- trial workers of Casper by subscriptions of over $33,000 to the Victory Loan. Over 91 per cent of the employes are bond own- ers. A total of $143,200 had been re- ported at the headquarters of the Victory loan committee, up to the close of business last night. This sum includes the $33,000 reported from the Standard plant and $15,- 800 from railroad employes. At noon today when the banks closed, the committee in charge reported that very light subscription had resulted this morning, and that indications were that Casper would fall far short of the $200,000 mark for the week. The management of the drive at the Standard has been in charge of Don M. Lobdell who opened his cam- paign for “early subscription Monday morning. Under the incentive of the FINAL DECISION AT STAKE WHEN ORLANDO CALLS ON THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT FOR ENDORSEMENT Last of Italian Delecates Off for Rome Today and Future of Ne- gotiations Depends on Whether People Authorize Vote of Confidence; Favorable News Is Expected BY FRED S FERGUSON. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Italy completely withdrew from the peace conference this afternoon when Foreign Minister Soninno and Ex-Premier Salandra left for Rome. These were the last Italian delegates. Premier Orlando, who is now in Rome, will confer with King Victor Emmanuel before going before parliament Monday or Tuesday to put his Fiume stand to a vote of confidence. Premier Orlando will ask parliament to choose between the Italian government and Wilson. A vote of confidence would enable him to return to Paris and renew his Fiume demand under threat of annexing it. Failure to gain a vote of confidence would mean his overthrow and victory for Wilson, bear- ing out the latter’s contention that people are more powerful than governments.

For the first time during the drive many industrial” firms in Casper have dropped their lethargy and are striving to search out each employe to give him a chance to subscribe to the present loan. The Midwest Refining company is loffering as a special inducement to its employes to subscribe the right of paying for the bonds at the rate of 10 per cent down and ten per cent a month. The Victory loan offers the most liberal terms for the small bond buyer of any loan yet floated, six small payments being allowed to complete the payments. NEW YORK NEGROES SEEK PLAGE ON NEW TICKET (By United Press) ALBANY, N. Y., April 26.—Rep- resentatives of the negroes in New York State, in session here today, framed a request that the colored race be recognized by the Republican state organization to the extent of having a representative of the negro race on the state ticket. Leaders in the movement contend there are 200,000 negroes in New York state enrolled in the Republican party and that they should be recog- nized. In 1864 a colored man resid- ing in Rochester was elected a presi- dential elector and last year a New York colored man was elected to the State Assembly on the Republican ticket. This year another New York colored man was elected to the as- ‘sembly by the Democrats. These are the only three negroes elected to any \state office since the organization of the state. ——=_ To prevent automobile accidents due to cars running backward on hills n inventor has patented a device that | automatically locks the rear wheels ur a machine when the engine stops.
