GUNS TAKEN IN BURGLARY LAST NGnT ON FlRoT Robbers Who Entered Shulte Store Believed to Have Stripped Cases at Ex- change Furniture Passing up cash registers, jewelry and valuables that would have made a much greater haul, arid bent on securing a quantity of firearms, spe- clalizing in pistols, revolvers, auto- matics and ammunition for every make taken, robbers last night dupli- cated the burglary which was staged at the Schulte herdware store about two weeks ago, and cleaned up the gun cases at the Exchange Furniture company store, 215 West First street. ‘The similarity existing between the two robberies has led officials to the conclusion that the same parties that wore implicated in the Schulte robbery staged the wholesale raid.on the Ex- change Furniture company store last night, The robberies were undertaken un- er most identical circumstances. The Schulte store was robbea about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, front show- cases in the store geing cleaned out. The robbers who staged last night's affair gained entrance to the store and while one of the proprietors was calmly sleeping stripped the store of firearms. In both cases entrance was effects by boring holes under the locks on the door and then, after weakening the security of the door, forcing entrance. ‘Appearances in both robberies ind’ cate that a leisurely search and seizure resulted from the appearance of the bandits. In reporting the case to the officials it Was found that a considerable sum of money which was left in a small safe and in the cash register at the Exchange furniture store was not touched. The jewelry cases were left intact and there were many other evi- dences that no attempt had been made to remove anything but small fire arms. Officials believe that they have now cut off every avenue for the removal of the stolen material, but as a pre- caution, are sending. out scores of printed cards to prevent the sale of} the stolen guns elsewhere. A rigid search has been instituted in Casper. PRESIDENT NOT COMMITTED YET (Continued from Page 1.) is no practical way to consider tlic Versailles covenant. RESOLUTION TO B FAVORABLE TO FRANCE PARIS, April 5.—(By United Press.) —The Knox peace resolution will pro- vide that America will “co-operate” with any country menaced by Ger- many, according to a cablegram re- ceived toda$ from Stephen Lauzanne, a member of the Viviani mission to the United States. Tle said the sena- tor informed him that his resolutic will make no mention of reparation leaving that question to be settled by the various governments. The resolu- tion will be couched in terms favorable to France, he stated. green tet JARDINE FUNERAL 10 BE HELO ON THURSDAY Final services for Baby Marie Jar- dine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- Mam Jardine, will be held from St. Anthony's Catholic church ‘Thursday morning, according to arrangements temporarily completed this morning. The remains which were held at the Bowman mortuary have been r moved to the family home at South McKinley where they will/) in state until the funeral hour Thurs- day moraing. The baby’s death which came as a shock to scores of friends of the fam- ily here has brought widespread mes- sages of condolence to the sorrowinir family, Beautiful floral offerings for- warded to the home are indicative of sympathy felt. Relatives of the family will arrive in Casper Wednesday afternoon and evening from eastern points to attend the funeral Thursday morning. derived from the liver of sharks caught off the coast of California 19 being used as a leather preservative, COMING The Great Sex Picture The speaker laid before the meet: ing the entire plan by which the city would be governed under the manager plan. He did not go into a tiresome reading of the bill itself but rather quoted headings of the different Glauses and parts of the measure and then explained these in detail shorn of their legal verbiage. For a city like Casper there would be elected five commissioners much in the same manner as the present county commissioners are put into of- fice and these five men or women would appoint a manager who would direct the administration. This man would then become re- sponsible for the gonduct of the city and on him would be placed the blame for anything that went wrong or that is contrary to the wishes of the people, The commissioners would receive a nominal salary and the city manager would receive a just compensation for the work he would do as he would not be permitted to hold any other office or do anything else than gov- ern the city and attend its needs. The citizens have redress from a poor manager or set of commission- ers by the recall through which they are able to remove from office any who after election, they consider as unworthy. Judge Winters then read excerpts from letters which Secretary Stafford had obtained in answer to his letters from towns and cities in every part of the country and these were prac- tically all in favor of the new form of government. Rome, Ga., was one of the few exceptions and here the letter stated that there was too much responsibility placed in a young man who was given the city manager's job. It was also thought that the city would rectify this mistake in the near future and that the plan would then work out to everyone's satisfac- tion. Judge Winters was roundly» ap- plauded for his talk on the subject and Mr. Townsend announced a cam- paign for membership in the Cham- ber of Commerce that will be started in the near future to bring up the enrollment of members to a high point. ——<—<—<—<—$_ ‘SERBS INVADE, CHARLES GONE (Continued from Page 1.) exceedingly important to start on a firm foundation.” Mr. Dawes told his commission that it was. known that “a deplorable sit- uation exists” and that the president and congress were anxious to rem- edy it, “The condition exists," he declared, “becausb of lack of co-ordination among the agencies authorizsd by the law to care for the soldiers. Some- thing must be accomplished. We will find the remedy and stay in contin- uous session until we do, The men on the other side worked at night. This relates to them. Let's cut out the dinners and get down to definite work right now.” Mr. Dawes said the commission's hearings should be concluded by Sat- urday night and the commission then begins its executive sessions to draft recommendations for submission to the president. The first decision of the commis- sion was an informal one, approving the placing of the three agencies deal- ing with disabled service men under one responsibié head. This was urged by Colonel F. W. Galbraith, Jr., com- mander of the American Legion, and @ member of the commission and by Brigadier General Sawyer. After the first session lasting about two hours, Chairman Dawes said the commission had obtained. information definitely establishing existing evils in administratio® of soldier relief work and that further inquiry into such phases of the problem would be aban- doned, “In contradistinction to the con- gressional war investigating commit- tees,” he said, “let's have this com- mittee get together, get somewhere and get through.” ELECTRIC WASHER TO BE GVEN AMA NORA Interest in the sale of » carload of Eden electric washers launched by the Natrona Power company is whet- ted by the announcement that one mach:ne is to.be given away in con- nection with a drawing contest which will be open to Casper housewives. Details of the plan can be obtained from the office of the power company. P. M. Van Sickle, a special rep- resentative of the Gillespic-Eden com- pany, manufacturers of the Eden ma- chine, will be on hand throughout the campaign to give expert advice to prospective purchasers, Demonstra- tions also will be given in the power company’s show-room and the public is invited to take advantage of the opportunit; Formal Opening Of DURHAM SELLS HOME AND BUYS STALEY RESIDENCE Attorney Harry B. Durham has completed a deal for the purchase of the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs, R..K, Staley, ‘815 South Durbin street. The Staleys will occupy the property until May 1, when Mrs, Staley and children will leave on an extended tour in the east. Mr. Durham has disposed of his property at 1125 South David. street to Alfred R. Lowey, his business part- ner, who is at present on a tour through the middle | west. While definite advices are lacking it is rum- ored that Mr. Lowey will return to Casper with his bride. Details in the transactions which re- sulted in the transfer of the proper- ties are lacking but it is stated that a sizable sum vlas represented in the two transfers. Jt is probable that Mr. Staley will move ris headquarters to Denver after May 1. His diversified business interests require his residence in the Colorado capital and this gives ground to the rumor that he will make the Colorado metropolis his residence tem- porarily at least. PRESBYTERIANS ANNUAL MEET TONGHT ,| Presbyterian church are urged to at- tend the annual congregational meet- ing at the tabernacle tonight at 8 o'clock. On this occasion they will celebrate the final discharge of the debt against the old property by the burning of the mortgare.

K. Loy, chief chemist for the Midwest Refining company, who made a com- plete analysis, “This svater is softer and contains less solid matter in solution than the water from the Platte river at this time, and also it is better than the water supplied to the city of Casper. ‘The slight cloudiness in the water is due to the fact that the well has been recently drilled and sediment has had no chance to precipitate. “It is our opinion that if this wa- ter continues of the same quality as it is now showing to be that this wa- ter is of equal or slightly superior content to our present city water. This conclusion is reached from the fact that we have analyzed the Platte river water and the city of Casper water several times during the last few months.” CHAPPELL 10 HOLD IT5 ANNUAL MEET TOMORROW ‘The Chappell Oil company will hold its annual meeting in Casper to- morrow.

Edward Schuster, a taxi- cab driver here about three weeks ago, will be arraigned for preliminary hearing before Judge W. E. Tubbs tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Delay in the preliminary proceed- ings was occasioned by the fact that a change in prosecuting attorney‘s office would have occasioned a con- flict in handling the tase if the ar- raignment came earlier. It is probable that defense counsel will attempt to have the man ad- mitted to bail, This attempt will be strenuously opposed by the state. Indications of defense, which will nat materialize at the preliminary hearing unless there {s a chance to have Njcholson freed, are that the basis will be accidental discharge of the weapon which inflicted the mortal ‘wounds. aces eee Regen TRY THE TOUCH : of the Improved- Self-Starting Rem- ington, now on display at the Casper Stationery company. 4:5-5t —Subseribe for The Tribune—— U.
