jCasper Sunday PROMINENT MEN BOOST RAILROAD, RIBUNE FINDS Expressions of Opinion Collected Show All with Vision Favor It. Further investigation into the at- titude of prominent Casper business men regarding the benefit of the pro- Posed Wyoming North and South rafiroad has revealed the fact that the business community is squarely back of the proposition and that the majority of the men belleve the beno- joes. not admit of argument. These men are not looking to a small independent road incapable of connection with greater systems, but thay look to see a transportation ar- tery through the center of the state from north and south joining great transcontinental lines at both ends and admitting of the linking up of this clty and all of central Wyoming wvith the sister states of the Union. This will undoubtedly be the future of this road when it is built. That {t-will be bullt, no one coubts. Any hesitancy jn regard to it from the standpoint of trucking work and other things is more than swallowed up in the great outstanding fact that the very construction of the rail. road will give work to thousands of men. It is proposed. according to an authoritative source, to construct this road in sections 100 miles long, Such @ procedure will mean its com. pletion in a much shorter time than ordinarily Men of vision have seen in thls en: terprise the means of quickening: Weoming's industrial Ife. ‘They have seen in it the means of bring- ing into being little towns along the Une that wi feed Casper. Thoy have seen in it the future backbone of Wyoming, These lines of steel will not take the wealth from Wyoming but they will be the means of bringing wealth 0 Wyoming and in awakening into dynamic force that which already ex- ists here. : A great thing for a great purpose can have only a great future before it. Casper will abide by her previous standards of getting the things she needs, there is no doubt of it. The Tribune printed on February 1, a Ust of quotations from prom- dnent business men of the city who were in favorof the railroad. This list has been augmented by the ad- dition of other statements equally enthusiastic. They are printed: THE CONGRESSMAN ELECT CHARLES E WINTER — “T havo reat confidence in the immediate in- dustrial progress of this city and ex- pect this to be the most active and prosperous year in the history of the city and that the builcing of the new railroad is one of the necessary ‘elements of that progress, being both the effect of previous growth and the course and means of future en- largement. It should receive the co- operation and encouragement of our People."* ROBERT D. CAREY, former gov- ernor of Wyoming—“Casper’ is des- tined to become the largest city in » Wyoming and it is the natural rail- road center, The proposed line Is entirely necessary, It will mean’a line to the south connecting Colorado and Wyoming. It will be the easiest route in connecting the two states by rail. The people of Casper should set busy and see that the thing Is put. through.” R. C. CATHER, president of the Wyoming Trust company Any en- terprise that makes a real showing of going through can count on the support of the people of Casper.” GEORGE STEWART. manager of the Iris, America and Hub theaters —"It is a wonderful thing. As far as my business {s concerned, it will mean the bringing of real shows to Casper because of the transportation facilities provided road troup: JOB DENHAM, vice president of the National Bank of Commerce — “More railroads mean a better town The new railroad will bring jobbers and manufacturers here. If built to , the south jt will open up a great southwestern territory. An Increase In the population of Casper would of course help the banks.” E.

HARDING WILL RUN IN 1924; CAMPAIGN ON President Has Decided Acceed to Friends’ Requests, Tt Is Learned. BY PAUL k. MALLON { WASHINGTON, =Feb.-'3—A caim-; paignto insure the nomination of! President Harding for tHe ‘presidenéy in 1924 is now being undertaken— with his own consént—by his friends here, it was learned. tonight. The president has decided to acceed to @ vindication of the principles of hi aministration in the coming presi- dential race. Unwilling himself to. seek nomina- tion, President Harding has agreed to an.active campaign in: his behalf, be- cause of criticism which has arisen in some sources over the conduct of his administration. He believes this criticism 4s entirely unjust and {s due to lack of knowledge among the peo-! ple as-to the truo motives involved. Up to a few weeks ago President Harding held to his decision that he does not desire a second term in the White House. The physical strain of the office and the illness of Mrs. Harding had induced him to make} up his mind that he would retire. But since the November elections, when many of his republican friends were swept out of both houses of congress in fayor of progressives and democrats, much criticism has come to his ears. Upon the adyice of friends he has now reached the con- clusion that it 1s practically a duty that he seck vindication from the criticism by fighting for his principle in the next election, The actual campaign will be begun when the president begins his Alas- kan trip. He will make twenty speeches or more in the larger cities in the United States on the way to Alaska and returning, , ‘These speeches will’ constitute a fighting defense of the administration activities thus far and outline the course he inends to pursue during the next two years. i tl CORBIN MAYOR bin tonight. “We do not know at what m riot may sweep the community,’ for a severance tax. resolution severance tax |the people shoul Is supreme court to be constitutional.

EMBASSIES MAY BE FORCED T0 LIMIT LIQUOR Drys Charge That Leakage Has Caused Many Thousands of Gallons to Flood Country, BY FRAZER EDWARDS (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. — Liquor may be rationed to the embassies here in quantities strictly limited by con- gress. This step was under discus. s'on by. congressmen tonight follow. ing introduction of a resolution by Representative. Cramton, | Michigna, asking how, much lquor is. being imported by the embassies, and what regulations, if any, are imposed by the state department. If Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Secretary Hughes answer the questions on quantity and regula- tions, Crampton expects to show how much of the imported liquor reaches the bootleg trade.

With the embassy Mquor supply completely shut off and vigilant reve- mue men mopping up the supply cf corn and other liquors os fast as it comes into the district, Cramton be- eves Washington is about to enter the most arid period in Its experience. “Recent seizures of liquor alleged to have come from a foreign embassy here have started tongues wagging all over the country,” he said. “If we can't enforce the dry in the na- tional capitol, the rest of the country js not going to take It sertously. I Propose to see that we have 100 per cent enforcement here. “The amount of liquor that can be brought in by the embass'es 1s negligible so far as the whol» coun- \try is concerned, but if a large quan- tity ‘of it loaks out it makes Wash- fngton a rather wet spot even after ‘ther supplies have been cut off. £0 the first step in drying up Washing- ton 4s ‘to find out just how much Mquor the embassies are Dritiging tn, ‘and then we can find out what ts ecoming of it.” Cramton said the embassies should ‘use some discretion and refrain from making a “vulgar disipay" of all varleties of Mquor before the eyes cf thirsty American guests at diplomatic receptions.

Speaking for Minister Calles, who is not in' town, Valenzuelos said that this government would cooperate in ‘every possible way with American fficials in bringing the Los Angeles ‘hammer murderess” to justice. “Clara could easily be deported if it is found that she evaded the immigra- tion laws in entering Mexico, and it appears obvious that she did,” said Valenzuelos. in LOS ANGELES, ‘Feb, 3—"I accept Dr. Uribe's offer to divulge the whrereabouts of Clara Phillips.

He professed to be no connois seur on bedroom garments, but testified as best he could. His language was not technical. The verdict of the jury was that although they found the evide of the state insufficient to convict Mrs. bee, they felt that her : jons were indiscreet and recom- mended that the judge reprimand her. Mrs. Mabee was in bed, it was charged, very scantily attired Why anybody would go to bed with their clothes on, the raiders did not make clear to the court. “One hundred dollars,” sald the judge,.but later took back the v dict and declaring the defendant “lucky.” Incidentally, this was the first time in months that a jury trial was demanded for 2 vagrancy charge.
