Percy Foster, mus- feal director for the Washington in- augural committees, also led in the musical features. ‘The thousands that thronged the streets along the line of march to Cen- tral park were given an added thrill in the costumes of the big state dele- gations. Besides their brilliant col- ored uniforms, the paraders all car- ried American flags, the only emblem allowed in line. ‘The columns were headed by Dr. Francis E.

The comfhission also annouhned tentative valuation of the Grand Can- Yon railroad at $1,359,398 and that of the San Jouquin & Eastern (Call- fornia) at $1,148,000. Commenting on the amounts shown on the Western Pacific's books:as be- ing invested in road and equipment, the commission said: “The account requires adjustment. Some items should be entirely ex- cluded, som$ reduced in amount and some new items inchided. The) ac- count is made upon, in large part, of the value of securities at par ex- changed for property which was not appraised and whose value is un- known, and in part charges for land, the cost of which cannot be allocated tween ‘carrier’ and noncarrier Jand.” Revision of the account and a de- duction of the amount of capital stock of the carrier exchanged for unap- praised property of seven predeces- sor companies, the commission said, would leave the investment account at $72,715,091. This sum, the com- mission said, cannot be taken as the actual investment of the carrier in existing road and equipment, but is the nearest sum obtainable. Circulation Of Money Totals $52 Per Capita WASHINGTON,, July 9.—Money in circulation in the United States July 1 amounted to $52.42 per capita, ac- cording to a statement today by the treasury.

ANNOUNCED) lera had issued instructions to his {supporters to cease all attacks upon civilian and discontinue military man euvers of all kinds. The instructions from Mr. De Val era, the Irish office said, also were te prohibit the use of arms, to ab: tain from interference with public or private property, and to discontinue and prevent action likely to cause disturbance of the peace which might necessitate military interference. The instructions, it wos added, wert effective from noon on Monday. HOPE OF TEACE GROWS STRONGER. | An air of the greatest optimism this morning prevaded the premier’s official residence and the Irish office, where the belief was freely voiced that there was every reason to hope the bloodshed in Ircland was nearing an end. It is understood the details of the forthcoming conference will undoubt- edly be discussed over the week-end at Chequers Court, where Lloyd George is entertaining the premiers of the dominions. Earl Midleton, South Irish Union- ist leader, reached London this morn ing from Dublin, and was almost im. mediately received in audience by King George. It is. understood that he repotred to the king details of yes- terday’s momentous conference at which the truce was arranged ENTIRE COUNTRY AGOG WITH GOSSIP. The whole country this morning was seething with talk over peace in Ireland, which was the one absorbing topic of conversation. Sarl Midleton said that he and his colleagues bad achieved their object at the conference yesterday, and that further progress toward peace was a question to be discussed by Lloyd George and Mr. De Valera. _ “Sentiment in Ireland,” he said, “is overwhelming in favor of a settle ment and there is fervent hope it will be possible to, arrive at a solution that will be permanent, Lloyd George left Court, his suburban home today in company With Gen, Jan Christian Smute and other dominion premiers who-are in. London to attend the im Perial confercuce, Tt seemed probable that during the week-end arrangements would be made for the meeting between the Brit ish prime minister and Mr. DeValera. The Londan Times today expressed the belief that ‘the end of this secu- Jar trouble, ruinous to Ireland and humiliating to this country, is within measureable distance.” Th@ Chronicle, remarking upon the extraordinary fact that Sir Nevil Mac Ready, military commander in Ireland was able to drive through the streets of Dublin yesterday in full uniforrs and unattended, but without molesa- tion said: > for Chequers “Here is peace, not simply in pros. pect, but in foretaste.” It expressed belief that further fighting in Ireland would be impos- sible, adding: “It seems as though the last chapter of bloodshed and misery is at length closed.” MILITARY FATRONS WITHDRAWN IN DUBLIN. Military patrols were withdrawn from the streets of Dublin last even- ing, says a Central News dispatch from that city. Many of the police auxiliaries were walking the streets leisurely, fraternizing with civilians and discussing the prospects of peace in Ireland. The truce between the Sinn Fein and the crown forces m: therefore, be said to be already bi gun, although the time for commenc ing it officially has been set for Mon- day noon. It is* understood the armistice will be signed by Sir Nevil MacReady and Michael Collins, commander of the Irish Republican army. The only thing remaining is the fixing of the date, which Lloyd George will name in his reply to Mr. De Val- era's letter. The government is subordinating all other problems of state to the question of Irish peace and is bending every effort towards preparations for the meeting. NATIONAL UNITY ASKED-BY VALERA. DUBLIN, July 9—(By The Asso- ciated Press.}—Eamonn De Valera, the) Republican leader, issued a manifesto} this afternoon urging national unity | during the peace negotiations with! “unbending determination to endure | all that is still necessary.’ With | this is coupled a warning against “un-/ due confidence,” in the result.

MIL PLANES TO FURNISH THRILL FOR WILD WEST Landing Field Adjoins. Frontier Park; Scene of Cheyenne Fes- tivities, and Flights Will Be Numerous CHEYE . July 9.—Uncle Sam's air mail service will provide noyel en tertainment for visitors attending the Frotnier days. celebration here July 26, 27, 28 and 29, although not offi- cially a feature of the great cowboy festival. The air mail field adjoins Frontier park where the wild, wild western sports will be held, and the grandstands and bleachers of the park directly overlook the hangars and landing place of the aerial post ships, which from these tage points may be seen landing, delivering and recelv- ing mail and taking off on 500-mile “hops” to Omaha or Salt Lake. Re- servo airplanes will circle and swoop over Frontier park while being “tuned up” and it is probable that the young daredevils who are Uncle Sam's air mail pilots will be unable to refrain— strict regulations to the contrary not- withstanding—from execiting some stunt flying for the edification of the big audiences. Persons stopping during the Front- jer days celebration at the municipal camping ground will be next-door neighbors to the air mail field and will enjoy opportunity to inspect the mail ships, the fleet of commercial planes using the same field and the hangars, and, perhaps, to make the acquaintance of some of the flyers whose names they so frequently see in dispatches relating laterday feats of daring.

He characterized rumors re- warding the trouble as “another at tempt by oil companies to place diffi culties between the United States and Mexico,” asserting there was no foundation for the exaggerated rum ors, inasmuch as the unemployed workmen there had given “a laudable example of decorum.” Gen. Tejada is said to have informed the secretary that more than 12,000 men were out of work in the Vera Cruz oil fields. A statement issued by the war of- fice last night relative to the situa. tion in Tampico was reassuring, al- though it was stated troops were be- ing rushed to that district as a pre cautionary measure. It was said that garrisons at various points in the states of San Luis Potosi, Coahutla and Nuevo Leon had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to give any needed assistance to the 15,000 sol- diers at present in the petroleum reg: ion of the state of Tamaulipas. The text of an official order to the army, asking all soldiers to give 10 per cent of their pay for the relief of the unemployed was made public at the war office. It was understood, however, that President Obregon did not desire this order to be carrie: oLt, believing there were sufficient funds in the national treasury to provide all the aid necessary for workmen, many whom were said to be suffering m hunger. ‘The president yester- day directed an> official inquiry «by Gen.

Vroman post will be elected to rep- resent this post at the second state convention of the American Legion which will be he'd at Thermopolis on August 2, 3, and 4 The meeting will be interesting and exciting as there are many here who aspire to represent the local post at the state convention. Also the hot springs city at this time of the season has many attractions to offer in the way of recreation. Any member of the post has a chance as no secret cau- cuses have been held or will be held prior to the meeting. A copy of Rob- ert’s rules of order, no doubi, will be kept handy for reference in case the Procedure is attacked by some cy- clone. orator. —_——_— NO CABLE PERMIT ISSUED.
