The second cause of action is that on November 2, 1920, election night the Tribune used @ lantern slide ma- chine to throw election figures on a screen across from the Tribune of- fice and that among. several things flashed on sald screen were “several most obscene, défamatory, libelous and’ slanderous, figures, words and written sentences. concerning the plaintit® to his geat- damage, which the defendant purposely and mallc- fously created and transmitted as aforesaid with intent then and there to injure, defame and libel this plaintite.”* “That many people observed zame in watching the election returns and on account of the gross mala (technical error in Mr. Posva spelling) and wantonness or de- fendant in publishing same gross falsehoods as aforesaid, plaintiff de- mands.punitive damages.” The third cause for action ts that again. oh August 22, 1922, the Trib- une was guilty of the same lantern slide offense in transmitting the elec- tion returns. The allegations state that the Tribune “did then and there create and publish to a large crowd of peo- ple, cartoons, figures, words and sentences of the most immoral, ob- scene, defamatory, libelous and slanderous character with intent to defame, degenerate, villify, injure, Ubel and slander this plaintiff, false- fully and criminally before the pub- Ue eye.” The fourth count relates how the ‘Tribune on March 27, 1923, “elect- ed to falsely and maliciously malign this plaintiff and dia print and pub- Ush in their sa{a newspaper shect the following malicious, false, de- geneate and defamatory article with intent to malign, degenerate, defame, vilify and Ubel this plaintiff and his brother, falsely and maltciously, Knowing same to have been crimi- nal, false, malicious and unlawful. The story read: “Louls F, Posvar, brother of George W. K. Posvar of local polit!- cal aspirations, was languishing in the county jail this morning through inability to raise a bond whereby he could appeal to the dis- trict court a fine of $25 assessed against him in Justice Brennan’s court for improper licensing of his Ford roadser. “It is related at the sheriff's of- fice, where a special deputy has been checking up on car licenses for the last six weeks, that Posvar was sum- moned to appear in justic court a month ago because he was using an improper }icense on his car but that he paid no attention to the sum- mons, Yesterday h's machine was sighted on the streets by the deputy who reported him last montth, “Because he ignored the first sum- mons, Justice Wrennan levied the $24 fine and coAs. Posvar took the fine in exceedingly bad humor and announced that he would appeal it to the district court.” Louls Posvar’s fatlure to display & license tag on his automobile was explained later by the secretary of state's office by thé fact that the signature on the application could not be deciphered and the tag was mailed to the wrong person, Mr, Posvar by reason of the “maliciousness, wantonness, villian- defamatory of the foregoing oun and slanderous acts of the defendant” demands from the de- fendant, the Casper Dally Tribune, judgment to the amount of $250,000 together With all costs of the action, attorney's fees and other disburse- ments and relief as the court deems Just and proper. 2D tea ERE Se FINAN ADVISER FOR HAITI PORT-AU-PRINCE, Hatti, Aug.

Obregon MEXICO CITY, Aug. 25.— Prest- dent Obregon and his cabinet to- night were considering measures to break the general strike declared four days ago in.Vera Cruz and which was extending to other cities threatening serious trouble. Railway workers on the lines en tering Puebla joined the strike to- day, tying up traffic on several rdads and leaving many American and other business men and tourists stranded. ; Authorities here said the strike in Vera Cruz was inaugurated by raa-| tcals who have been active for more than a year spreading communist propaganda among the workers in Vera Cruz. It was believed, however, the strike would be crushed by crushed by measures the govern- ment was prepared to use if neces. sary. n Illness Saves trephined by a tribal surgeon was unearthed. The skill of the aborigi- nal craftsman appeared to have ranked well with modern operations of the most delicate character, but examination indicated that in all likelihood the patient did not re- coyer. The discovery was made by Pro- fessor Morris of the American Archaeological Research Institute of New York City and the skeleton has been sent to the institute for further examination. Crude tools of flint were appar- ently used for the delicate task, but so skilled were the surgeons who performed the operation that they did not penetrate vital organs in going through with their task. Further excavations are being made in the district in the hope that more information regarding the tribal surgeons of early American ages may be forthcoming. Dr. Morris considers the skeleton one of the greatest discoveries ever made in tracing the habits and life of ancient America. It may give an entirely new and different angle on a civilization ranking in age the world has known. It may in time, pieced together through fragment- ary evidence, lead to a history of America rivalling the ancient Egyp- tlan, Persian and Roman empires. piiendibels od, PORT AND STARBOARD AND WHAT THEY MEAN Formerly the two sides of a ship were called “Starboard” and “Lar- Speeder From Jail Sentence CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—(United Press).—Miss Elizabeth Stark, 21, first woman committed to Bridewell jail as a speeder was released by Judge Henry M.
