DISPOSITION 0 nOVALTY FUNDS -GMUSES DEBATE Proposal to Boost University’s Share Is Senate Issue CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 10 —(Special to The Tribune)— The University of Wyoming —adequate provision for ex- pansion of the plant of the University of Wyoming—was an issue in the Wyoming senate when senate 37, relating to the dis: tribution of the money accruing to the state from the federal leasing royalty fund, came before the com- mittee of the whole. Senator John Dillon of Fremont county was op- posed to giving the university nine per cent of this fund for building pur. poses, believing that five per cent would be abundantly adequate. The opinfon of the committee, however, that the university's portion of the fund should be nine per cent lacked only Senator Dillon's vote to make it unanimou: Senate 37's considered Involved pro- longed debate on numerous features, including how much of the fund should be apportioned to the counties in which the ofl on which royalty is paid originates and how much of it should be apportioned to highway constyyetion, but the most interesting discussion centered in the-untversity provision, we As it was drawn when introduced by Senator A, D. Kelley of Laramie county, senate 37 provided that the university should receive 10 per cent of the royalty fund when and after it had received $375,000 from this fund under the provisions of a statute passed fn 1921, The standing commit- tee, however, recommended that the university allotment be reduced to nine per cent, and this recommenda- tion was approved by the committee ot the whole senate. The bill as ap- ved for passage, therefore, pro- ides that the university shall receive nine per cent of all money accruing to the fund after the $375,000 provid- ed by the 1921 statute has been paid. The nine per cent must be utilized for permanent buildings. The university management, it is stated, desired that the income from the royalty fund do not be restricted to use for building purposes only, but this desire is not reflected in the bill’s provisions. Senator Dillon, supporting an amendmen? to reduce the university's share of the royalty fund to five per cent, argued that Wyoming was a state of small population, that its unl- versity was a small institution as un. iversities go, that it would remain small and that five per cent of the royalty income would provide it an adequate income to meet all Building necessities. He objected to the ex: pense of conducting the university, and especially to the desire of the management of the institution to in- crease the salaries of faculty mem- hers. The bona fide attendanco at the university, he stated, was not 2,500 students, or approximately that number, as stated by proponents of more Uberal financing for the insti- tution, but approximately 700 stu dents in regular attendance. About 800 students were enrolled in “sum- mer classes,” he said, and about 1,000 in correspondence work, but in calcu- lating the state's per capital provision for the state school, he argued, only the 700 students in regular attendance should be considered. Calculating from this basis, he stated that the cost per student of maintaining the university was amazingly high. Senators Hartwell of Niobrara, Sibley and Kelley of Laramie, Wan- erus of Campbell, Johnson of Natrona and Fowler of Converse took issue with the argument of the senator from Fremont. The concensus of opinion which found expression through them was that the university deserved all the support that the state could afford to give it, and that the (Continued on Page Ten) FREIGHT ON WOO WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Western transcontinental railroads were or- dered today by the interstate com- merce commission to suspend until June 10 increases in freight rates on today, Proll! will hegin X Under the y hearings cn them fat Portland, Ore.| schedule | The Casper Daily Tribune Mexican Pair Wanted for Murder in 1914 of Lieutenant-Governor Vargas of New Mexico Seized by Police Nine years of searching for the murderers of Antonio D.

Both Mexicans had been residing in a shack on the Sand Bar and had been working as still cleaners at the Standard Refinery. Juan was caught about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon while at work, Elias was caught at 5 o'clock as he was leaving his shack on his way to the refinery, Mr. Lydon, who is the Casper rep- resentative of the DeLue Detective agency, had been notified two months ago to capture the two Mexicans, Ly- don set to work on the case and got trace of them this week. Informa- tion from New Mexico authorities was to the effect that the men were con- stantly on guard and for that reason that every precaution would be needed in arresting them. ‘The Mexicans when interviewed by a Tribune representative gave their names as listed above. Elias did all the talking, giving his age as 28 and that of his brother as 29. He dis- claimed any idea of their having been in Casper last summer or at any time before their present visit. He satd that they had been in Casper at this time for about four months, that pre. vious to that they had worked on a ranch near Glenrock. According to the statement of Hilas. they have a father Vincent Archuleta jn Amalia, N. M. Ellas says that he has a wife and three children at An- tinito, Colo, Farming, sheep-herding and mining seem to have made up the occupation of the two Archuleta brothers during the past few years, Both men ‘claim to have been in Cojorado during the year of the mur. dere , cs igs a According -to official information, the resemblance of the two men to the identification cards which have been sent here is very close, A sim- larity In the white eye of Juan Archuleta to that of the man wanted for murder is one of these. Elias is the taller af the two men. Both are slender build. « In line with the general smoothness of the younger brother, when the two men had been placed in the “bull” pen alst night, Elias attempted to substitute for a common drunk who was called out to the desk to pay his fine. The ruse almost worked. The two Archuletas are being held here until the arrival of the author ities from New Mexico. The state legislature of New Mexico has of. fered a reward of $500 for the capture of the murderers of Antonio D, Var- gas, while C. D. Vargas, brother of the murdered man was the person who employed the DeLue Detective agency to work on the ecase. ppb BO Ee ats U. S.

Blizzard Rages as Blast-Shattered Mine Is Searched for More Victims —A raging blizzard which began shortly after 8 o'clock this morning drove from their vigil the anxious watchers at the mouth of blast-shattered mine No. 1 of the Phelps-Dodge cor. poration, in which 122 men were en. tombed by an explosion last Thurs day. Only the crews of recue workers and repairers were at the tunnel en. trance. Snow is swirling in a blind ing cloud about the check cabin, tun nel mouth and tool sheds on the hill side. The New Mexico aun blazes overhead and the temperature is Vv ering around 28 degrees above zero while the work of recovering the vic tims of the disaster continues. W. D. Brennan, manager of the mine, entered the workings short! after 9 o’clock this morning to ex. plore sections of the cross cuts not yet reached by rescue crews His trip is expected to reveal definitely the fate of the miners who are still unaccounted for. If Wednesda: check {s correct, showing that 122 men were in the mine when the expolsion occurred, 80 men still are entombed, either dead or aliv Only forty bodies had been recovered this morning, according to revised official figures announced by the Pheips-Dodge representaties. Two men escaped uninjured. Work thus far has penetrated to the fifthy entry north on the main tunnel, a distance of about 2,000 feet. Down the third, fourth and fifth en tries north, off the main drift, the work has progressed the full length of the entri @ total disance of about 6,000 feet. Crews now are digging away debris in the cro: entries, intersecting the north entrance, Later today it is ex pected they will begin advancing down the main tunnel to the sixth and seventh entries north where scores of men arp believed to have perished, It was off the.third entry north, in at old working, in which Felint Mar tin! and Charles Kantal found refuge Wednesday from the blast and later walked from the mine.
