False propaganda regarding the epizootic, the governor said, has caused the consumption of gasoline to be reduced 60 per cent and “hotels and resorts are doing no business. Travel has been stopped.” “If quarantines now imposed by other states continue,” the governor declared, “our fruit crop will not be able to move. “The disease is under control and {s only serious in two counties of the state. The federal and state officials are well able to cope with the epizootic and are watching the infested areas closely, according to Governor Rich- ardson. “Don't get hysterical,” governor's parting advice. was the LOS ANGELES, Aprl 24.—Quar- antine measures employed in Call- fornia’s fight against the foot and mouth disease were assailed as un- (Continued on Page Six) BASIC DOCTRINE PREACHED BY COOLIDGE guments in the appealed case of Raiph Tobin, of Casper, found guilty of conducting a gambling establish- ment in his home city by a jury in district court. last spring, were heard here yesterday atte: by the supreme court.

Partisanship Cast Aside by Editors In Acknowledging Wisdom of Policy ‘Heard In New York Speech BY DAVID LAWRENCE, (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune). NEW YORK, April 24.—President Coolidge, his per- sonality, political future and doctrines of public policy were dissected by the editors and publisherg in annual convention here. Many of ther make a speech. they were from all country, representing every political creed and economic viewpoint, the Newopaper men furnished an inter- esting cros# section of American publi opinion.

There were those among his Republican friends who thought the cecasion a fitting opportunity to sell his “personality” to the editors. In the sense that Mr, Coolidge made is speech without dramajic effects and in the even tones which contrast inalarge room in.the basement sup- posedly used for a labor organiza- tion club room. Approximately 25 arrests were made. but none of the players were breught to trial. Tobin was tried at the following term of district court and found guilty. If the supreme court upholds the verdict of the district court Tobin will be compelled to pay a fine of $1,500 and to serve nine months in the county jail. COOLIDGE ACTION ON BONUS MEASURE IS NOW AWAITED Mexican Dope Peddler Held By the Police Joe Casillae, Mexican, was ar- rested in North Casper last night by an office® of the police depart- ment and is held on a charge of possessing a supply of mariwhana or Mexican hemp. Twenty-two tobacco cans filled with the nar- cotic were discovered at 332 West B street. Casillae had evidently learned of the activities of the police and he fled. He had his moustache shaved off in the mean- time but the police official dis-* covered the ruse. Mexican hemp is a narcotic which gives those who use it the impression that they are invisible. ‘HITS with the old time addresses of Roose- veltian punch, the president did not come up to the expectations of many of his auditors. In other words, re- garded purely as a campaign speech, it did not have the political flavor or rousing appeal so characteristic of efforts on the stump. But it would be a mistake to ac- cept casual comments on the form of delivery or personal appeal as con- clusive. Something far more signi- ficant wes disclosed to this corres- pondent as he mingled with the editors and collected their opinions, It waw that the busle doctrine won widespread approval.

He declared against a bonus at that time but it has been predicted in some quarters recently that he might approve the insurance plan. At the same time proponents of the SPOT’ Beonomie questions rather than political problems were in the back ground of most of the publishers’ minds to the extent that Mr. Cool- idge showed himself concerned about tax revision and other factors that might contribute to the business wel- fare of the American people, his apeech made a profound impres. sion.

One of the men grabbed a quart bottle of quor and made a dive for the door at the rear of the room. Vance started after him and caught him in a rear room. Just as Vance went through the inner doorway the shot was fired. Newell, according (9 a statement said to have been made soon after the tragedy, sald that he followed close on Vance's heels into the house. When nce started after the man attempting to escape he covered the other five men. West, according to Newell, made a menacing motion toward his hip and Newell cocked his gun to scare him.
