Inmates of All State Homes On Increase, Claim CHEYENNE, Dec. 15.—Since pro. hibition became effective in Wyo ming the number of inmates in the state asylum for the insane of Evanston has increased from ap- Proximately 200 to more than 300, and the number of inmates of the penitentiary, state industrial insti- tute and state home for mental de- fectives also has largely increased, but officers of the state board of charities and reforms, which has jurisdiction of all of the institutions nanied, asserts that prohibition had nothing to do with the matter. The increase in the number of insane, feeble minded and criminally tn clined, it is asserted, is purely the result of the increased population of Wyoming.

CHINESE RAILROAD P a DEBATED. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—(By The Associated Press)—Advices from Riga that soviet Russia has protested the discussion of the Chinese Eastern railway by th® Washington confer- ence has served to draw the atten- ton of conference circles to the rather complicated nature 2f this subject, which occupies a place on the Amer- ican agenda. The Chinese Eastern is of the greatest strategic and economic im- Portance tq Russia, Japan and China. It is the great connectirg link across China of the trans-Siberian railroad from Vladivostok to far away Moscow and Petrograd. When t czar of Russia decided to build the trans-Siberian he obtained the right from China to run the road ‘northern ‘Manchuria. © This right gave the Russian railroad im- mense value which it would not have possessed had %& been built entirely in Russtan territory.

Phillips, the lat. | ter the driver of the motorcycle, were net seriously injured. The extent of their injuries consist mainly of minor scratches and bruises. Mrs. D. W. Lobdell, wife of D. W. Lobdell, assistant industrial relations director of the Standard company, was riding in the Dodge car which Taylor was driving. She had driven her husband to the Burlington depot preparatory to his leaving for Greybull this morning on company business. As she drove back up town she was hailed by Mr. Taylor, a‘friend of the family, and requested to drive him to work. Mrs. Lobdell asked him to drive the car because of the heavy early morn- ing traffic in the vicinity of the re- figeries. It was because pf this re- quest that Taylor was driving at the time of the accident. The crash which resulted in the death of Hurley occurred just about 100 yards east of the intersection of the Standard and Midwest plants, and within a few feet of the point where Taylor would have taken up his duties. Immediately after the accident T: lor left the automobile and informed Mrs. Lobdell, who was nearly over- come as a result of the mishap, to drive away from the grewsome scene. It was because of this fact that the report spread that a woman’ was S| ing the car which featured in the ac- cident. Investigations of the accident are under way today by county and ci; investigation forces. Arrangements are also being made by Coroner Lew M. Gay for an thquest to bring out all evidence of the accident. It is understood that there were no actual eyewitnesses to the accident except the principals of the accident.
