Payne, who has been secretary dur- ing the past two years andd who has just recently resigned. The report follows in part: Natrona county chapter of the American Red Cross has carried, on, for the past two years, a peace time program, which has included exten- sion of home service to c!villans. The people of Casper as a whole, both in organizations and individua!ly, co-operated splend'dly with the work that the Red Cross has been trying to do. This was especially noticeable dur- ing the last roll call and thanks are due especially to the following organ- izations: The Rotary club, Kiwanis club, Lions club, Realtors association, Chamber of, Commerce, Order of the Eastern Star, Altar and Rosary so- clety, Business and Professional Wom- en's club, Knights of Columbus and various other organ‘ations and indl- viduals. The fash'on show sponsored by che Tribune and put on in October was a great asset and help to the Red Cross and special thanks are due to each and every one who assisted in this pageant, At the end of the drive a tag day was put on by the G'rl Re- serves of the high school under the able leadership of one of the teachers, M'ss Mildred Keith.

For the past two years the Red Cross office has been equipped for giving service and has given service to the ex-service man and to civilians. ‘The, work regarding the ex-service man has been divided into three} classes: Assistance to the able bodied man, Assistance to the disabled man. Assistance to the man still in serv- ice. Our work for the able bodied man has consisted mainly in obtaining for | him arrears in allotment and allow- by every| ment.

A large proportion of the work done by the Red Cross office in the past two years, however, has been for civil- jan families, In the first place, the Red Cross office might have been called a bureau of information. All kinds of requests for aid and informa- tion have coma into the office. and although many services were desired that could not be taken care of, we | have tried in many ways to be a point of contact. The secretary has, through the co-operation of the coun- ty commissioners, taken care of relief, given under the poor and pauper law, investigated all cases for mother’s Ppens‘on, has co-operated with the commissioner of child and animal Protection !n cases of abused and neg: lected children, with the secretary of the state board of charities and reform in the case of delinquent girls, with the sheriff's office and also with the Police department of the city, in as- sisting in the care of cases which have come under their supervision, has secured employment for both men and women, found homes for children where the mother or father had deserted them and has !nvesti- gated cases for outside agencies and individuals. In the past year 776 visits have been made to families in their homes, 1,150 calls have been made as a mat- ter of investigation concerning these families and there have been 8,230 in- terviews in the office concerning these various cases; 214 letters have been written and 25 wires sent; 273 different familles have been assisted. Many of these families, of course, have been carried from month to month. In many cases there was no {relief necessary but simply a matter of service. There have been 117 dif- ferent families assisted with elther groceries, coal, rent or clothing. This is almost double the number of fam- ies helped during the year of 1921. In 48 cases there were applications for transportation, mostly outside of the state. Thirty-three of these appl!- cations were granted, meaning that 90 \individuals were transported from the couhty. In almost every one of these instances, the county was relieved of the expense of caring for these Sndi- viduals and families and although in ‘some cases the expense of transporta- tion was great, yet hundreds of dol- lars were saved the taxpayers of Na- \trona county by sending these people jto their homes or places of residence and thus placing the responsibility of \earing for them where it rightfully | belonged. Many have been the requests for employment for both men und women. In this, the Red Cross has recelved the splendid assistance of the Cham- ber of Commerce Free Employment bureau for men and the Y. W. C. A. |Free Employment bureau for women. ‘The secretary can not emphasize too jstrongly the assistance she has re- cefved in thfs manner from these two | organizations. The Pythian Sisters, the W. C. T. U. and individuals donated bed linen, gowns, etc, for a loan closet and these have certainly been apprec'ated by the families to whom they have been loaned in cases of sickness. Va- rious philanthropic ind!vidua's and business houses have assisted when requests have been made and thé sec- retary can not stress too strongly her appreciation of this ass'stance. The Episcopalian and Methodist churches and the Girl Scouts furnished baskets at Thanksgiv'ng and Christmas time to the most deserving, perhaps. of the families known to the Red Cross of- fice. The coal that was given to many families at Christmas t!me by a business firm in Casper brought cheer and warmth to many a family. ‘LIAR’ IS EPITHET HURLED BY WITNESS AT ‘STOOL PIGEON’ IN ADICAL HEARING By CHARLES R.

The Burns chief asserted his or- ganization did not solicit bankers for business as they were under contract with more than 2.000 banks in all parts of the country to furnish pro- teogion. < He declared he never ordered any operstive to distribute Mterature or make a speech at @ radical meeting He also asserted that as fat as he recalled he had never seen a report of another detective agency, Bailin testified that he turned over to Myers reports obtained from the Thiel De- tective agency.

Treasures of inestimable value were added to the <!most em- barrassing store gathered by the excavators when the funeral fur- niture and outfits placed about the sarcophagus by the pharaoh's mourners were discovered. When an Egyptian ruler died his follow- ers believed he would need many things in heaven, such as tables, couches, food, clothing, cars with which to row on the celestial wa- ters—evérything in fact of which he made use on earth. Naturally the objects selected to go along to the nevt world with Tut Ankh Amen were the finest procurable, 3,000 years ago. Sheir splendor is unsurpassed, many of the funeral trappings defy duplication, repre- senting artisans whose secrets are no longer known, The arrangements within the inner tomb are such that the vis!- tors including the queen of the Bel- gians, who will be invited to take a look at Tut Ankh Amen’s sarcap- thagus will be greatly cramped for space and will only be able to pro- ceed single file around the gor- geous blue and gold canopy that extends nearly .to each wall.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Hearings} to determine whether the Famous Players-Lasky corporation is guilty of having entered into a conspiracy to monopolize the moving picture !ndus- try will be started before the federal trade commission on April 5, or short ly thereafter, the commission an- nounced today. ‘The announcement was simultane- ous with the issuance of an amended| complaint against the corporation.| The original complaint was issued August 31, 1921. Subsequent inves-| tigations by the commission revealed additional evidence which resulted in issuance of the amended complaint. The commission believes the new ev!- dence strengthens its case, it was stated. ‘The amended complaint charges that the defendants have “conspired and confederated together to unduly hinder competition in the production, | distribution and exhibition of motion picture films and dominate, monopolize and attempt to monopolize the omtion picture indus- try.” ‘The complaint attacks the policy of the Famous Players corporation in affiliating with it independent pro- ducers who release thelr productions through the Famous Players corpora- tion. It attacks the practice of the de- fendants of acquiring motion’ picture theaters throughout the country and compell'ng exhibitors to book exclu- sively productions released through them, shutting the theaters to pro- ductions to competitors of the Famous IPiayers corporation. ‘The complaint charges that in ac- quiring and controlling motion pic- ture theaters to respondent ‘‘conspira- tors” have coerced and intimidated theater owners who refused to sell or lease the'r houses to them by threat- ening to build or release competitive theaters, threatening to cut off ot in. terfere with film service, secretly of- ering higher rentals, and temporarily reducing the admission prices of the- aters owned by them below those charged by owners who refused to sell, In coercing independent exh‘bitors to show the!r pictures exclusively, the respondents, the complaint charges, have practiced similar “fraudulent and unfair methods.” The complaint charges that by their methods the respondents have built up and now possess “dominating con- trol over the mot'on picture industry that has a dangerous tendency to givo them a In substantiation e¢ this complaint cites that the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation is the largest theater owner in the world. emi are innucent until they are proved guilty.” Myers will continue his testimony | Monday { Ballin, who one of their star | rested today on a warr. worn ou by the Burns Detective agency charg ing criminal lbel, He was released on $5,000 bat nished by an off! ‘inl of the Chicago Federation of Labor, to control, | complete monopo'y there'n,"*} SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1923. PHARAOH VED (WAR TO MAKE NATION'S CAPITAL N GREAT RAIDS Liquor Sleuth Masquerades as Colonel, Janitor, Piano Tuner and Other Disguises Secures Evidence charges of bootlegging, the confisca- tion of about 3,500 gallons of Illicit Uquor and the seizure of a score of stills, At an early hour tonight bonds \0- talling about $50,000 had been fur- nished for release of the alleged boot- leggers. Determined to clean up Washing: ton, “the home of prohibition,” and the seat of the national enforcement agency, before making a concentrated effort to dry up other cities through- out the country, the prohibition bu reau believes its purpose is near to accomplishment. The nation’s capital as the result of raids today and the similar one a few weeks ago in which about sixty per- sons were arrested will be made one of the dryest cities.in the country, of- ficlals stated. Today's raid, like the first one, took the bootleggers completely by sur- prise. It was made possible by the clever work of Asher in collecting evid&nce and ferreting out bootleggers' haunts by means of his disgu'ses. Almost single-handed, Asher, by using!tactics that read like the fiction of Nick Car- ter, is drying up the nation’s capital. Disguised as a colonel, an apart ment house janitor, ashman, a piano tuner, a laundry ‘wagon driver, a garb age collector, an ice man and a boot- legger confidante, Asher collected al’ the information that made possible the first raid. After this first success, Asher mys- terlously appeared. The prohibition bureau announced he had gone toj| Pennsylvania and New Jersey to try hig disguises on’ bootleggers there. Washington bootleggers breathed a long sigh of relief at the announce ment. But apparently Asher just took a week's vacation to think up some new tricks to work the liquor dea'ers. About two weeks ago Asher quietly Slipped into Washington again. In a few days he was one of the most prosperous oyster and fish peddlers in the section of the city where the boot- leggers' poputation is most dense. As an ass'stant, Asher trained A. Bauer, Washington policeman, und they are now outshining New York's famous prohibition sleuths, Izzy B'n4 stein and Moe Smith. Bauer became so apt at the Nick Carter tactics that as a huckster, he sofd his mother ap- ples without her recognizing him. Every time Asher and Bauer so'd a fish or an oyster, they pretended to be very thirsty and soon had spotted at severa! places where bootleg liquor was obtainable. The next disgu'se was that of hucksters. BPvery day the two sleuths brought in many bottles of evidence buried underneath their cart load of apples, oranges, bananas and cabbage. Adding a classical touch to their work, Asher and Bauer then became Greek sa'esmen of plaster of Paris statues and again obtained more evi- dence. An invasion of the Italian quarter was next decided upon: Resembling true members of e mafia, with their bristling beards and long moustaches the two agents were approached by an Ital'an, who sought to convert them to the fascisti cause of Premier Mus- solini. Not being able to understand Ital- fan, they simply stood and shrugged thelr shoulders as the agent pleaded his cause. Meanwh''e a large crowd was gath- ering around Asher’s peddler wagon. Fearing detection unless he could an- swer the Italian, Asher hopped on his wagon and shouted to the crowd: “Me spik Ingl'sh. Me no under- stand the wop. Me from Athens, Pan.” He drove off as the crowd roared with laughter. Entering a negro's home to sell fish, Asher offered to exchange some f'ne bass for a bottle of corn. Edgar, the negro, readily agreed, but his wife was suspicious. propaganda} By HERBERT W. WALKER (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Led by J. L. Asher, the pro- hibition bureau’s king of disguisers, federal dry agents and local police today staged the-second spectacular raid of their determined campaign to dry up the nation’s capital. The prohibition dragnet, cleverly woven by the genius of ‘Agent Asher, resulted in the arrest of nearly 75 persons, on “How do you know tuls here man s not this Asher?” Melinda askea Ed gar, Edgar slapped Asher on the back and the two laughted heartily. “Don't mind her, you know women is,” he apologized. “Who is this Asher?” Asher asked. “Ain't you heard about this revenoo how man?" Edgar asked with bulging eyes. ‘He's a‘ hell cat.” “I don't look as wild as a. hell cat.” replied Asher, as he pocketed a bottle of corn and Edgar counted the marked money. Being a man of all trades, Asher next became a traveling minstrel With a violin and @ mouth harp, no entertained large crowds in “soft drink” resorts where the Mquor was as “hard” as his music. A short timo later he picked up a monkey and an organ and changing his disgulses, visited the places where he falled to get evidence during his first concert. A short t!me before ralds started today the word spread like wildfire through the bootlegging circles “that Asher was loose again.” But Asher had divided his ratding squads into about twelve divisions and made arrests at practically all of the places he had spotted during h's disguises, “Dese yere revenoo men is getting too smart for us common folks,” an old negro woman said to Asher as she purchased some fruit. “Dat fella ought to be shot. I'd Uke to meet him,” replied Asher in his best Italian accent. Pic ea ir PARK GRANT TO NATROWA GIVEN SENATE'S OKEH v iINGTON, (Special to The Francis E.
