DOUBLE Wid” City Seeks Obt Observance of Traffic Rules, Not Money Casper motorists should take it upon themselves to see that they no violate the traffic laws, This i single purpose of taking the numbers of cars which are found to be driven in violation of rules. Two nm, one on each side of the A number of violators were assessed fines of $5 each in police court Saturday night, and others will appear before Judge John A. Murray this evening to pay similar fines if found guilty. For the sec ond offense the fine will be doubled. However the mere payment of a fine does not give any particular satisfaction to the authorities. The Present campaign is an educational one. If by paying a fine a motorist “educated” then the me- thod has succeeded. If he has fail- ed to learn then more drastic action must be taken. “Every individual should make a Pledge with his own conscience that he will obey the traffic laws,” said Captain J. M. Farris today. “There is no necessity for cutting corners nor for committing the other of- fenses such as passing cars at in- tersections, speeding. and failing to sive the right of way. It ts simply a matter of acquiring the habit of doing the thing right.” Sixty license numbers were print- ed in the Tribune Saturday calling owners of cars bearing these num* bers either to appear in court on that day or at 6 o'clock this evening. A number of drivers appeared. There are still others who must ap- pear tonight. If they do not, ap- pear warrants will be gotten out for their es hae SE a et BANDITS MAKE $15,000 HAUL 8ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 4—Five bandits today held up and robbed three employes of Finklestein and Reuben theatrical interests of cash estimated at $1,000. The three messengers had just left the con- cern’s office for the bank with Sat- urday-and Sunday receipts when the robbery took place, Tho theatrical concern announced later that the bandits had missed $7,000. Ttotal amount of the loot was set at $10,000. Pedestrians ducked behing every available shelter as the messenger guards fired a volley at the ban- dits apparently without effect on their rapidly disappearing car. Po- lice reporte dthat a horse, injured by a stray shot, was the only cas- ‘ualty.

Kafandaris, former minister of the interior. FINES |ROTARIAN PLAN FOR VIOLATORS | FOR JUVENILE REPEAT’) COURT OKEHED City Officials F Favor Pro- gram But New Law Is Needed Casper Rotarians recently ap- pointed a committee to investigate the possibilities of having a juven- ile court established here and at the weekly luncheon: today, L. A. Red reported that the committee had conferred with Mayor 8. K. Loy and other members of the admin- istration and found them all in ac- cord with the plan. The matter will be discusned at the meeting of the city council this evening. The purpose of the plan Is to seg- feeute delinquent and incorrible children from the environs of a municipal court and a city jail where confinement is necessary. It is possible before such a co; can be set up here that legislation will have to be passed in the state legislature to permit auch a court in this state under the law. Walter Keefe, proprietor of the Casper Floral company, delivered an interesting paper on his classifi- cation. His essay on “saying it with flowers” was very entertaining. Ex-Governor B. B. Brooks, presi- dent of Casper Rotary, wha with Mrs, Brooks, is leaving today for a trip abroad, was presented with a memorandum book “in order that he cou'd record the things seen on the trip. The governor was bid bon voy- age by all of the Ro’ : A. E. Stirrett and W. J. Cham- berlin guve interesting accounts of recent trips.

Mr. Irwin had been employed by the Midwest Cleaners up to the time that recurrent attack as a result of the injury forced him to sive up hia work. ‘The body is now at the Shaffer Gay chapel pending funeral arrange- ments, SPIES ORCHESTRA 1S ENTERTAINER FOR ANDIO SUNDAY NIGHT | &: A radio concert was broadcasted last night from Station KFEV by Spies’ Howling Wolves orchestra.

WAR PRESIDENT FINDS RELIEF (Continued from Page Two.) interior under President Harding. was named as a member of the special committee to go to the White House and Senator Hitchcock” of Nebraska, Democrat, a political friend and league of nations sup- porter, was ushered into the sick room, where the president shook hands with his right hand, fumbled with some documents with the left and discussed the Mexican situation with marked mental ability. That demonstration exploded the rumors that Mr, Wilson was a maniac, unconscious, a prisoner, or so disabled that he was unable to talk” business, It demonstrated, however, that he was stil] a sick man showing a remarkable display of sand. a Fall said publicly ahaneihe> hats ference that Wilson was ‘mentally alert and mentally able to cope with any question with which he might have to deal, Senator Hitchcock BSsuon ‘Jand his Democratic colleagues, on Capital Hill merely grinned with satisfaction. Fall observed, however, that he couldn't tell whether Wilson could move his legs and some Democrat countered with the observation that “Mr, Wilson didn’t “deal with the Mexican situation with his legs any- The inside of the matter was that a remarkable will power, careful nursing and skilful medical atten- tion had been showing their effects. All these served to prolong the sick man’s life; they enabled him to walk again with the ald of a cane, which he thereafter facelously referred to as his “third leg,” and they in- abled hint to use his left hand and arm to some extent, although when he appeared in public he generally hooked his left thumb in a button. hole of his coat and supported his disabled arm in that manner. His disability in walking he later refer- red to as his lameness, After many weary months in bed Wilson got back strength enough to sit’ at hig desk, dicate letters, preside at an occasional cabinet: meeting and go motor riding, but the constitutional breakdown left its marks upon him and made him almost a shadow of his former self. He left the White House an invalid, whom doctors said might live “five minutes, five months or five years,” and despite the fact that he had his ups and downs, his tenacious hold on life was the marvel of all the specialists ‘who attended him.
