MAIN NEWS SECTION PLAN DRY NAVY FOR CALIFORNIA; PINCHOT THIES TO KEEP PLEDGE Movements of Liquor on Pacific Coast Slowed Down as Haynes Visits Section. (By United Press.) Federal prohibition forces and sev- eral states today began an uncom- promising fight on illegal liquor traffic that is fast merging into a concerted nation-wide drive to make America bone dry. Most drastic actions against boot- leggers and manufacturers of illicit intoxicants was started in Pennsyl- vania where Governor Pinchot, re- deeming a campaign pledge, in augurated a crusade of ‘‘no quarter.’ ‘Three hundred troopers of the famous Pennsylyania police patrolled every district of the state tonight, raiding stills, bootlegger haunts and seizing trucks of liquor. Federal agents moved to stop Nquor @muggling on the west coast by an- mouncing the establishment of a Pa- cafio “dry navy” similar to that on the Atlantic seaboard where additional steps wero also taken to combat rum runners and bootleggers. Flying squadron began raids in several Pa- cific coast cities. United States dry agents conferred with Mexican authorities to dam the flow of Uquor over the border. A “dry neutral zoné" between “the Uniteq States and Mexico has been Proposed. Federal agents of the Great Lakes region plannéd to begin a campaign against rum runners from the north border and break up the fleet of Mquor trucks alleged to be operating out of Chicago to surrounding terri- tory. In Kansas, cradle of prohibition, Governor Davis appealed to the peo- ple to “sign a pledge” that they would not drink, following the suicide of a state representative arrested for alleged drunkenness and the refusal of J. B. Billard, prominent business man, to run for office “because I ‘would have to arrest my frieris for violating the prohibition laws.” ‘Missouri was locked in an internal ‘wet vs. dry fight. In Ohio, Governor Donahey handed out an ultimatum that local officials must, enforce prohibition laws. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.—(By United Press.)}—Prohibition enforce- ment was being drawn tighter on the Pacific coast tonight following the visit of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and his staff.

A concerted drive to stop rum run- ners at the Mexican and Canadian borders. Increased activity by flying squad- rons of ra‘ding officers in several cities of tho const. In addition to the federal drive to enforce prohibition, state officers have taken up the cudgels against rum with renewed vigor, operating under the newly passed state enforce: ment act. Many arrests thruout the state have been made during the last ten days by loca! authorities, Enforcement, however, did not pro- ceed without setbacks. In Los Ange: Jes four prohibition agents were placed under arrest charged with bru- tally beating persons whom they ar- rested. Samuel Rutter, enforcement chief stationed at San Francisco, charged that the arrests were part of a plan in southern California fostered by the “wets to impede enforcement. (By United Press Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 27.—The ‘“matied fist” of Governor Gifford . Pinchot fell upon bootleggers of Pennsylvania tofay in a ruthiess drive against illegal liquor traffic. It was the biggest effort against illegal wale of liquor undertaken by any state since the eighteenth amend ment went Into effect. Three hundred troopers of the state's famous sem{-military police galloped in groups over the high. ways challenging trucks, raiding sus- pocted bootloggers’ haunts, confis- cating every form of alcoholic bevor- age, arresting scores of persons and érawing around every section of the state an armed dragnet to ‘make Pennsylvania dry.” Local police cooperated na atill after still was raided, trucks searched and seized, The crusade, in tine with Pinchot's campaign pledge to actually (Continued on Page Two) TRIBUNE TO PUBLISH BIG DIRECTORY ‘The compilation and publishing of all city d'rectories of Casper heretofore have been by out-of: town concerns and have contained to very great extent foreign adver- tising, of value probably to the ad- vertisers, but of no benefit to those engaged in business at home who were supporters and purchasers of this necessary and convenient pub- Ucation. It is naturally to be expected that data for a publication gath- ered hurriedly by strangers would contain many errors, both lud! crous and exasperating, and while it might answer the purpose of its creation in the absence of some thing better, still !t would be an unsatisfactory work because not true in detail and therefore unre- Uabdle. It 1s the purpose of the Tribune to undertake a comprehensive bus'ness and professional directory of the cltv. To have the entire worl performed by experts at home, from the collection of data to the printing, binding and sale of the completed work, to exercise the most watchful care to the end that the work be complete, correct and dependable down to the least important punctuation mark. It 1s no small undertaking and we shall need the cordial co-opera- tion of everybody, for everybody will be represented in its pages, and it will be his book as much as it 1s anyone else's. Tt is the intention of the Tri- bune to distribute free of charge copies of the directory to every business house, office and home in Casper, and to be pre- pared to: mall an unlimited ‘num- ber of them to Salt Creek and other points for the use of Cas: per's out-of- town Se and pa trons. MIDDLE STATES FORMS WYOMING ‘RAIL LINE €0. ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 27.—(Special to the Tribune.}—Montana and Wyo- ming are about to undergo a period of extensive o/1 land development through a $10,000,000 raflway project which is about to be undertaken. Pre- liminary plans for the line have al- ready been drawn up, it was ascer- tained today from a reliable railway source. Construct'on work is expect- ed to start carly in the spring. Papers of indorporation for $10,- 000,000 concern have been filed. Through construction of the railroad. the ofl territory would be tapped at Sheridan, Wyo., and an outlet pro- vided at Miles City, Mont. The line would connect with the Burlington road, at Sheridan and with the North- ern Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul roads at Miles City. Ap- proximately 200 m'‘les wou'd be served. Completion»of these plans will mean the first railway construc- tion of importance which has been undertaken in the northwest for a decade. j Rockefeller interests are rumored tobe behind the project. Persistent reports to this extent have been cir- culated, but confirmation was impos- sible.

Thirty-one days of grace, now rap- idly G-auwing to a close, is the period allotted automobile owners to display the new blue and white tags whieh signify that they have paid their state license fees for the coming year, according to reports emanating from the sheriff's ofice. Old tags are al- ready few and far between and they will be scarcer when the officers of the law carry out their oaths and threats. Sheriff Perry Morris, it is understood, believes that 31 days con- stitutes ample time for an auto owner to secure his new tag. Failure to dis- play them may lead to arrests and fines. Recent weeks have witnessed a ver- itable flood of app'ications for licenses from Casper and a large share of these have been handled by the See Ben Realty company, which places its facilities at the accommodation of the public every year for this purpose.

GUARD Withdrawal of Federal Aid Threatened if State Does Not Act. Major Clyde V. Simpson of the regular army who ts now on duty as senior instructor of the Wyoming National Guard arrived in Casper Yesterday in the interests of that organization. In the past few weeks Adjutant General Esway at Cheyenne has sev- eral tlmes been advised by the war department that it cannot continue federal aid unless Wyoming puts an armory construction program into effect. Federal ald tothe guard of this state has amounted to $1,052, 603.47 in the past four years for the purpose of arming, equipping and} \nounting it; for the drill pay of of- ficers and men; for forage (purchased locally) for animals and for pay to caretakers of animals; for summer encampments and for pay and ex- penses of regular army ihstructors. All that {t asks in return fs that the state furnish the officers and men and a modest sum for administration expenses of the adjutant general and the erection of a suitable armory bul'ding for each troop in order to properly shelter horses, and to pro vide a suitable indoor riding hall and also to properly protect from fire and theft approximately $100,000 worth of equipment uniforms and arms issued to each troop. Wyoming is jut now completing the organization of the 116th cavalry régiment and Utah has just recently maéea bid. to get i giment if Wyoming lowes 1t by default. Utah has indicated her intention of bulld- Ang armories to get it. Wyoming has also been allocated a cavairy brigade headquarters with its attendant troop whichis to be organized just as soon as th? organization of the 115th Cavalry is completed in the near \fu- ture. It has been the plan of Ad- Jutant General Esway for some time to offer this unit to Casper because of the wealth of veteran ex-service men lying here and because it will be the elite unit of not on'y Wyo- ming but also of Idaho and Utah as these states furnish the balance of the cavalry to complete the brigade, This unit will rate a brigadier general (and Casper now has a competent man to fil! the place) as well as a number of brigade staff and troop officers and enlisted men with high enlisted ratings. This organization would bring in to Casper annually from the federal gov- ernment the approximate sum of $20,000 for drill pay’ to officers and men, for caretakers for animals, for expenses of regular army !nstructors and for local purchase of forage and incidentals. Major Simpson has been working on armory plans for several months and has.a plan contaning a riding hall, stables, office, storeroom, locker room, bath, caretakers quar- tera and a club and recreation room, in a building 100 by 116 feet and which can be erected for approxl- mately $20,000. The erection of one of these build ings in Casper would mean that over $10,000 would be spent locally for labor and material. Major Simpson estimates that $175,000 will be needed to properly equip all of the troops i the state now located at Wheatland, Torrington, Douglas, Riverton, Lan- der, Lovell, Cody, Sheridan and the proposed troop here in Casper. The Tander troop bas an armory which needs repairs and is also badly in need of suitable stables.

Ju KANSAS IS LANGUID ON PROHIBITION TOPE Kans, Jan. (United Press.)—Kansas, a pioneer state in the cause of prohibition, responded. languid'y tonight to Governor J. M. Davis’ “pledge book" appeal. The book had but few signatures tonight, nearly a week after state officials “and citizens had been offered an opportunity to inscribe their signatures on the roll of those who “with God's help” would refrain from intoxicants. The “pledge book" was opened after two important developments in the state's fight against boot- legging and rum drinking. The climax was the sul week ago of Representative J. Manar, the culmination of arrest on a charge of drunkenness and threats of officials to summon him for questioning as to the source of his supply Shortly before M. Billard, former gubernatorial candidate, announced he would not seek office again be- cause he would be forced to arrest his friends for violating the pro- hibition law.

News of what happened at Trier spread quick- ly and intensified the feeling. At Trier, German women and children were injured when French troops were forced to use their sabres to dis. perse a crowd. French soldiers and German civilians were wounded in night fighting at reves, where it was necessary to declare martial law. Meanwhile, France went ahead with Its blockade of the occupied area and many replied by threatening to close down all Westphalian mines if the French persist in halting fuel de- liveries to German destinations, The German attitude is that they will alt ght and see which nation can last without coal. In persuance with this policy, coal trains en route to the Ruhr were halted.
