(Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 8—The suc- cess of the meets of the indoor track season undoubtedly reflected the gathering enthusiasm over tho coming Olympics. So in even greater measure are the coming out- door track and field meetings ex- pected to benefit by the great inter- national athletic event in Paris in July. It is, for example, dlready fore- gone that the famous Pennsylvania relays will be characterized, not only by a vast entry list—as a fact near- ly a hundred colleges, in various parts of the country are already entered—but by. splendid quality. The victory of the University of Michigan's two mile relay team at the University of Illinois relays demonstrated that glowing reports of the quartet of half milers which the ‘Maize and Blue have developed were not exaggerated. In fact, in view of all that had been said about Wolverines, their victory was not surprising. But Northwestern, unheralded, so far at least as the east was concerned, certainly did furnish surprise by crowding Michigah in the two mile relay and there may be no doubt they will be heard from’at Franklin field the last of this month. Georgetown, winner of the east- ern intercollegiate indoor two mile relay event, will take a lot of beat- ing from any quartet and Boston college is nearly good. AUR PROBLEM NOT INVOLVED (Continued From Page One) provide automatic installation of strict control by the allies which would be vested with extended pow- er over the treasury of the reich. In connection with the Ruhr, the experts consider economic re-estab- Ushment of Germany can be durable only on one condition, the economic unity of the c#untry must be entirely re-established. Without raising the question of military occupation of the Ruhr, the experts indicate that it will ba, ne; cessary for Germany to resume free disposal of customs and state indus tries like foreste coal mining and railroads in the territory occupied by French troops. The rallroad sys tem of the Ruhr and Rhineland would be under special supervision of an allied representative to assure normal traffic and security for French troops, Under the proposed reduced an. payments Germany would apply on the reparation account the first ear 1,000,000,000 gold marks, raised by means of an international loan of 800,000,000 gold marks plus 200,- nua: VIOLATORS GIVEN PROTECTION IN TLLINGIS, WITNESSES STATE (Continued From Page One) pending criminal and civil proceed- ings were opposed by the depart- ment of justice and that a telegram showing this had been “dictated” by somebody in the department of jus- tice. He cid not have of copy of the message. Armstrong sald ‘he knew "there Were collections of graft every day” in Chicago in regard to the issue of Uquor permits, In his opinion every plea of guilty in a Mquor cage in Chicago in four years has been based on an “arrangement” with the defendant insuring that he would only be fined. In “99 cases out of 100% he said, the United States attorney ‘made these ar- rangements” without consulting the Prohibition enforcement office. Money had been paid to politicians at the rate of “hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in a month” he said ‘to fix" cases. George W. Stock, a department of fustice accountant, was called to the stand and questioned about ‘the Green case,” a $30,000,000 mat? fraud case in Boston. “It was a ‘stock selling system’ ” Stock sald, and in his investigation “Mr. Green” told him that he could not proceed X erty ness fixed the rate, however, as be- fore Daugherty became attorney general. He raid he recommended the case for prosecution, “And there never has been a pro- secution?"" Asked Senator Wheeler. “Not by the federal government,” said‘ Stock, adding that there had been a state prosecution. Armstrong said. he and other agents had seized eighteen half barrels of three per cent beer from the brewery and pecommended prosecution. W. O. Potter, United States attorney at East St. Louis, he sald, told him that he had in- structions from the department to drop the case, and that was done. It was stated by the secretary of the brewery company the. time, Aymstrong added, that a $5,000 offer in settlement” had been accepted by the government. The witness told also of failures to prosecute in the Garden City brewery case and of- efforts made to remove him as enforcement agent because he would not “stop buying” Uquor at saloons “they” did not want prosecuted. Armstrong estimated that he had reported on “one thousand to fifteen hundred” cases, but never been called as a’ witness in a criminal case unti! six months ago. The cases for the most part, went through with “small fines,” he said. Asked who the federal prosecutor was in these cases, Armstrong said that United States District Attorney Clyne at Chicago, a Democratic holdover, was in office most of the tme. He expressed the opinion that Clyne had been “kept tn” by the Republican administration because the Chicago brewery ring “‘felt they could hendle Charlie Clyne.’ Speaking of injunction proceed- Ings handled by Special Assistant Attorney General Middlekauf and his assistant, August Kruz, Arm- strong said they had conducted the case so as to ‘delay service long enough to let the original owners get cut.” He declared there would te det: of two or three years tn “closing up" these cases. He had recently been called as'a ‘witness in three year old cases which he “had almost. forgotte: he added. The Garden City. brewery case, he sald, was handled by Middlekauf. Armstrong sald that in November, 1922, Charles Kemp, his superior in the prohibition service, told him he was to be removed, adding that Homer K. Galpin, a Cook county Republican leader “said I was mak- ing too many arrests.” He made an arrangement, he sald, by ‘which “I was then kept in eer- vice, from month to month, but only provided that they knew in vance each saloon I was to enter. He cited ‘the case of the Illinois Beverage company as illustrative of “fixing” methods, Armstrong sald he was formed” Clyne had been forced by pressure of the Illinois Bar a ciation.

Washout trouble is reported seven miles this side of Salt Creek but this end of the line is said by the company to be experiencing little trouble. The bridge just north of New Salt Creek is also reported to have been weak- ened by the water, MONTANA REPORTS HIGH WATER Sheridan, Wyo., April 8.—Al.- though Goose Creek and Powder river have subsided and there ts no immediate danger of high water here, reports from Lodge Grass, Montana, today say that the Little and Big Horn rivers in t!
