CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 11.—Mrs. William Shulz, Casper nurse, accused of murdering two infant babies in the Cheyenne Private Hos- |Pital here, was set free today amid the: applause of a crowd that} jpacked the courtroom to capacity. Tears streamed down the face of | Justice of the Peace Edwards as he made the decision, while Mrs. 'Shulz, calm and confident throughout the hearing, broke down and! wept on her husband's shoulder. Follow the court's decision the ked that the second infor- TWO PERISH IN mation, against the nurse on jcharge of murder, be dismissed, Mrs. Shulz will return to Casper with her husband for a brief rest, and will }then resume her occupation of nursing.

By his action the president-elect ended a bit- ter row in congress. Harding asked that not a cent of money be spent on the inauguration. How far inaugural officials and the public will let Harding have his way remains to he seen. It is considered ger- tain, that the inaugural -ball,~ which went out when President Wilson took office, will not come back this year. To preyent a street parade in honor of the new president may be more difficult. ‘William, Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, was among the callers here today, FIGHT ON OPEN SHOP PROPOSAL | WAXES INTENSE CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—The fight ho tween the Manufacturers’. association and the railroad brotherhoods over the open shop question is becoming more intense.
