HERO DEAD ARE FUILOGIZED HERE FX-GOV, BROOKS Memorial Observance Is Brought to Close With Impressive Ceremony at Highland Cemtery The address of ex-Gov. B. B. / Brooks at the cemetery yes- terday was a fitting conclu- sion to Casper’s annual ob- servance of Memorial day. Following the speech by the governor,.the members of t) Spanish-American war post assureed charge of the decoration of the graves the former soldiers in the ctvil, Spanish and world wars. At the con. lusion of the ceremonies the loca! representatives of the American Le sion gave the gatute to the dead and taps was sounded by the bugler. During the parade Tuesday morn ing many spectstors missed the signif- icance of the worse, anddied and with stirrups crossed, which was led by a. boy scout. From time tmmemorial this featurs has been used in all pa- rades of @ military nature as a trib ute to the soldiers who have lost their lives in action, It was observed, in spite of the ad- monitions of boy scouts who preceded the parade, that the majority of the spectators faikel to uncower as the national colors passed. This breach of patriotic etiquette is a common one. The address of ex-Governor Brooks follows: ‘We assemble today’ as American citizens to thank God that in our deepest need the patriotism of, our people was equal to the hour. We come to réflect rather then to weep. ‘We come to gather up the lessons taught by our heroic dead; to con- sider the fruits of the victory they have secured for vs; and hence to reflect upon our own duty as indi- viduals and a nation in the great fu- ture which opens before us with tm- mortal splendor. "That for these hon- ored dead, we take increased devotion’ to that cause for Which they gave the last full mpasure of devotion.’ “In one way can-we so truly honor those who gave up the lives that this ational might live, as tn study- fm well and performing faithfully the duty they have placed before us; in standing firmly for justice and equality among all mankind, in keep- ing, the lamp of trae Mberty trimmed and burning and ‘ts light shining throughout the work. We honor them. ‘Then indeed they have not djed in vain. “Ours is the formost government on earth; and our strength must rest in the patriotism, virtue and intelll- gence of cur people. Peace, order ena mberty are safo just so long a love of country burns in the hearts of the American people. “Tt should not be forgotten, however, that Mberty does not mean lawless- ness. Liberty to make our laws does not give us license to break them; rather it commands a duty to observe them ourselves and enforce obedience to them among all others within their Jurisdiction. Liberty is individual re- sponsibility and responsibility is duty. Then ‘with patriotism in our hearts and with that flag of our country before us, ther> is no is ne danger to the American union. “Only a short time ago while in the city of Chicago, I went out to Lincoln!

HOOVER TO FIX PRICE | c OUNTRY Responsibility for Preventing Gouging of Public During Strike Assumed by Commerce Secretary; Operators’ Indi vidual Agreements to Be Considered WASHINGTON, May 31.—Secretary Hoo ver toda: y assumed the responsibilit, for fix-| petition for a restraining order to prevent the marriage of ‘he minister.

Mr. Hoover suggested the tmmedi- ate appointment of committees repre- wenting each producing district to ad- vise with him upon a fair price for coal, in thelr respective districts. He also asked that these committees continue tn existence after the deter- mination of a fair price, cases of unfair charges. He told the several hundred operators the meeting that the production was now about 5,000,000 tons a week and con- sumption between 8,000,000 and 8,500,- 000,” thus necessitating withdrawals from stock amounting to between 3,000,000 and 3,500,000 tons a week. Production will increase slightly as times goes on, he added. Coal prices today, Mr, Hoover said, ranged from abovt $2.25 to $3.50 2 ton at the mine. The public, he contended, should understand that the problem at hand is one of almost stupendous diffi culty. What a fatr price for coal is de pends upon cndition in each district ang where profiteering begins and ends if & question of definite -fal: price, determined upon facts and not upon theories, the wecretary told the operators. There is not, Mr, Hoover explained, a single shred of law to enforce a fair price or prevent profit cering and the law prohibits opera- tors agreeing as to what a fair price may be. “I propose to inquire through you [as to the situation in varlous districts ‘and I will take the responsibility on my own back and will ask every. op- erator to accept this basis in his own district,” Mr. Hoover told the opera- tors. ‘The agreement, he continued, would be between the operators and the sec- retary of commerce, and if an opera- ics fact te Mc up to it, it would bp npon his conscience, Mr. Hoover's suggestion was ap- Proved by A. M. Ogle, president of the National Coal tion. The secretary announced the ap- pointment of an advisory committee to begin meeting at once with com- mittees representing operators in the various districts. The committee con- sists of Mr. Ogle, C. E. Bockus, New York; George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey; E. A. Holbrook, acting director of the bureau of mines, and B. A. Hadligh, chief of the coal division of the commerce depart- ment. Quick action was urged tn order that the coal price situation might be met at once. SON OF WEALTY BRO} R DEAD.

BRITISH THREATEN WAR ON ‘REPUBLIC’ Dublin to Be Held in ‘Any Military ‘Activ- ity, Says Churchill; Peace Pact Held Violation of Treaty LONDON, May 31.—(By The Associated Press.) British troops will prevent the estab! lishment of a republic in Ire- land, if such action should become necessary, Winston Spen- cer Churchill, foreign secretary, declared in the house of commons today during debate on the Irish situation. “In the event-a republic is set up,” he said, “‘it is the inten- tion of the British government to hold Dublin as one of the preliminary and ps of military operation.” Churchill also auserted that the nent reached between the polit- factions !m southern Ireland Inst Saturday strikes directly at the pro- visions of the Anglo-Irish treaty. Mfr. Collins will return to Ireland this aft- ernoon. Mr. Griffith will remain in London for a few days. The consequences of the agreement were very serious, the secretary said and it seemed probable that the Irish people would not be able to give free expression to their views in the elec- tion of the government. If Mr. De Valera or any others who might be chosen ministers in the new Irish government under the terms of the treaty, refused to sign the decla- zation of allegiance to England pre- scribed in the treaty, the secretary continued, “the treaty was broken by that fact, and the imperial govern- ment resumed such Mberty of action— whether in regard to the resumption or the powers which had been trans ferred or the re-occupation of territory —as it might think appropriate and Proportionate to the gravity of the breach." The imperial government wonld not, in any circumstances, agree to devi- ate from the treaty, either in the strict letter or the honest spirit of the docu: ment. Mr. Churchill declared “It is almost certain.” Mr. Church- il: went on, “that the Trish people will) not be able to say in any intelligible ‘way whether they accept or reject the treaty offered by Great Britain. A certain number of labor or indepen- dent candidates may ‘doubtless secure election, but it is difficult to see huw the parliament resulting from the elec tion can have either representative or democratic quality or authority as it is usually understood.” Secretary Churchill, of the debate following statement reiterated that Great’ Britain would not tolerate the establishment of a republic {n Ireland.

AUTHORIZED BY COMMITTEE Effective Date Set Back to January 1923; Fight Looms on Preference for Consideration WASHINGTON, May 31.— (By The Associated Press.) — |The McCumber soldier bonus plai was ordered favorably. reported today by the senate finance committee. The vote was 9 to 4. The effective date of the bill was changed, however from next October 1 to January 1, 1923, after Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, told the majority that it take six | months to get the bonus machinery jin operation The Smoot plan, providing for paid up life insurance in lieu of ail other forms of compensation, was defeated by a vote of eight to five, the three Democrats present, Simons, Walsh and Gerry, voting against it. Repub. Ucans supporting the Smoot proposal were Senators Smoot, McLean, Fre- Unghuysen, Calder and Dillingham Republicans voting against it were McCumber, Curtis, Watson, Suther land and La Follette. The McCumber plan ts the house bill, with some amendments, inctud- ing elimination of the land settlement or reclamation project Several of the majority members of the committee gave notice to Chair- man McCumber that they would op- pose laying aside the tariff bil! for senate consideration of the bonus at any time in the near future. Chair. man McCumber replied that he in. tended to guarantee as prompt con- sideration of the bonus as could be worked out but did not state whether the tariff measure would be laid aside. Tt was reported that the Republican leaders hoped to work out .some plan by which the bonus measure could be expedited without delaying seriously the. taritt bill. ‘ Se.aters said reclamation wi not discussed in committee, although house leaders and some senate sup- porters of reclamation legislation had urged that the Smith-MeNary recia- mation bill, or some similar legisla- tion, be attached to the house meas- ure, Senator Simmons, ranking Demo- crat member, announced on behalf of the three Democrats present that they voted to report out the McCum- ber bill only to get action promptly and not because they favored the measure.

Authorities Looking for Rustler Who Shipped Stock from Glenrock Under Namz of Well Known Rancher A daring imposter, giving the name of Floyd Kirkendall, x| prominent Big Muddy rancher, nearly succeeded in stealing | 26 cattle belonging to Harry Iba by shipping them to Omaha. |The crime was discovered more or less accidentally when the *|man ordered the cattle to be unloaded at Chadron, Neb., NATIONAL LEAGUE jand sold them to a buyer at that place. The man claimed to have bought the cattle from Clif Merrill of Doug- las. No such man exists, according to information secured today. When the train reached Chadron he asked that the car be unloaded, He sold the cattle ang bought some horses. Officials at Chadron, doubt as to whether or not the cattle had been inspected here before ship | ping, called up local people, and it was discovered that the cattle were stolen The man who bought the cattle in the Nebraska city thereupon stopped payment on the check which he had giv.n in payment for the stock. Mes.nwhile the thief became aware of the fact t his game was discoy- ered, secured a horse and started cross. country. Soon after his departure law offi- clais overtook him and sought to have him surrender. This he refused to da and when the deputies opened fire upon him, he slipped from his horse and made good his escape in the dark- ness. Soon afterward he stole another horse and set out again in his effort to escape.
