NO YIELDING _ BY GERMANY Resistance to French Measures Growing Stronger Instead of Weakening, Say Late Reports; Thyssen Plants in Ruhr Not Affected by Strike Spread By The Associated Press. The policy of resistance to the French occupation of the Ruhr valley has not been modified but is growing steadily stronger, the German government declared today through its embassy in Washington. Managers of big industries in the valley express confi- @ence in their ability to carry on and @t the same time prevent the French from. getting anything worth while out of the dittrict, however effective- ly they might occupy it militarily. ‘The immense Thyssen plants in the Ruhr and virtually, employing some 62,000 men, are declared by the man- agement not to have been effected by the railroad or coal strikes. time, ining their own fuel as do many other big industries in the valley, The railroad strike seems again largely ef- fective in the Ruhr and important Gistricts in the Rhineland.

Absconder’s Wife Attempts Suicide CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—({By United Press.)}—Mrs. Anita Braslawsky, ab- sconding banker’s wife, attempted suicide here after her husband was arrested in New Orleans in informa- tion she furnished the authorities, Informed that Eugene 1. Braslaw- sky, missing president of the defunct International State bank, whose ac- counts were found $100,000 short, was taken into custody in New Orleans, Mrs, Braslawsky slashed her throat with a razor. Braslawsky disappeared two months ago, after examiners ordered his bank closed. Mrs. Braslawsky also vanished at that time but returned here several days ago and revealed her husband's hiding place.

The meeting was opened with the Kenwood petition. The people in this district and a part of Sheridan heights feel that they are greatly in need of improvements and that they ought to have them, The subject was referred to the Street and Alley committee which will investigate it and then report back to the council. ‘The councilmen set March 5 as the date for calling for bids on all side- walks that are to be constructed dur- ing 1923. The exact amount of side walks has not been determined yet. An attack on the city financial re- port which was recently compiled by the Wyoming Audit company was made by Councilman J. 8S. Pettingill. Mr. Pettingill claimed that the re- port was misleading. Of those who had opinions on the other side Mayor Blackmore and Councilmen Whisen- hunt and Jones voiced theirs. The Wyoming Audit company ap- plied last night for permission to make four quarterly reports and ono annual report on the hazy matter of elty finances. Tho cost will be some- thing less than a thousand dollars but many persons think that this method of reminding the city of its comparative finances should prove stimulating as well as convenient. Second-hand dealers may be requir. ed to keep a record of their various Wares, exact mensurements, descrip: tions, etc. of everything from avcond- hand cadilesticks to second-hand cars so that if anyone with dishonest in- tentions should carry off any of these it would be a comparative easy mat- ter for the police armed with yard HARDING DEFERS DEBT MESSAGE WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—President Harding decided today to postpone until tomorrow at least his message to congress ask modification ef the debt funding law to permit final approval of the funding settle- ment recently negoitated with Great Britain. was said at tho no definite time White House had been fixed for the president recommendations which generally had been expected to go forward to day. th transm: and the. preventing of persons sticks and calipers -to run down the stolen articles, The subject was referred to the Judiciary committee.

According to city ordin- ance the minutes in summary are to be printed in an official city news- paper. According to the practice which has prevailed for the past year or two however, every motion wheth- er passed or not with complete do- tails as to who made it and who voted on it is published. This runs the bill up immensely. Councilman Hancock's suggestion if carried ott would eliminate probably three- fourths of the expense of elty print- ing. MRE SO. nl Nadie NEGOTIATIONS FOR DEMPSEY BOUT ARE OFF NEW YORK, Fob. 6.—All nego tiations involving the: appearance of Jack Dempsey in heavyweight boxing champlonship contests have been ended, Jack Kearns, the cham- plon’s manager, announced after a conference with promoters. Then Kearns informed Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker for the Re- public Athletic club, that he had de- elded to let the champion comalh idle indefinitely. O'Rourke had pro- posed two title contests this year, one between Dempsey and Harry Wills, the New Orleans negro, and another with Joo Beckett, the Eng- lishman o CHICAGO——A > one pnen Ba varian stamp of 1849 sold for $120 ower House Calls Off Restrictions On Introduction CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 6. —More than 50 per cent— seven-seventeenths, to be ex- act—of the bills brought in in tye senate of the Wyoming legislature Monday relate to Prohibition, and 60 per cent ofthe re. mainder of the bills introduced re- late to natural gas. Which means that only three bills brought in In the upper house Monday do not relate to prohibition or natural gas. The Mock of prohibition seven in number, were produced by the standing committee on Prohibi- ton and Senator Sibley of Laramie county—five by the former and two by the latter. The Sibley tills are designed to. make prosecuting attor- neys and sheriffs zealous in enforce. ment of the prohibition law. One prevides for reports on how the law is being enforced, the other for the removal of officers who do riot en- force the law.. ‘The five committee bills ere designed to make more stringent prohibition’s mandates and more severe the punishment of vio- lators.. One prohibits the prescrib. ing of Mquor by physicians; another provides for disposition of Mquor seiz. ed by officers. e The three natural gas bills were introduced by Senator Dillon. of Fre. mont county. Senate 84 provides that natural gas produced in Wyom- ing shall be used in Wyoming. Sen- fite-89-Telates to the wasteful use. natural gas and Senate 85 regulates the use of natural gas. ‘The lower house of the legislature also was dealing With ‘gas Monday. Sitting as a committee of the whole, it approved for passage Representa- tive L. A. Miller's joint resolution relating to exploitation of the natural resources of the state, which include natu: This resolution deciares in regard to the present system of exploiting Wyoming's natural re sources for the benefit of other states and the residents of other states “it should be the.policy of this and suec- ceeding legislatures to adopt such regulations governing the production of raw materials and to levy such taxes as to guarantee to the state and its citizens a proper share of the unmeasured wealth derived from the development of the natural resources ‘The resolution states, that corporations ex. natural resources of ‘Wyoming should maintain thelr head. quarters in Wyoming. The resolu- tion might be said to be a “purely moral argument"—there is nothing in it to compel any corporation to do any of the things it eays should be bills, done. It is absolutely devoid of teeth. ‘The house committee of the whole killed a. bill designed to give an of: ficer matmed in the performance of his duty,. Jailer Homer J. Booth of Fremont county, the same benefit from the Workmen’s Compensation fund that would be paid to a work- man suffering a simiair tnjury—oss of an arm, At about the same time the Senate was passing a measure, Senate 28, amending the Workmen's Compensation act, carrying a clause designed to give Booth the relief pro: vided by the bill the House killed, The clause in the Senate act is retro- active however, and probably will not withstand scrutiny in connection with the “ex post facto” provision of the state constitution. I would make the bill effective in part on and at- ter July 1, 1919, The Senate biti brings, sheriffs, and deputy sheriffs drawing salaries, also their depend- ents within the operation of the Workmen's Compensation act on the theory that the work of these offi. cials is “extra-hazardous” employ- ment, The House Monday decided that if the senators could introduce bills dur: ing the first 30 days of the session there was on reason why the House members should not do likewise and accordingly abandoned its rule limit.
