TAX COMPROMISE IS § ROYCE HEARING IS DUE TONIGHT SENATE ORDERS REVISION OF VET BUREAU LAWS; ‘TYRANKY’ AND RING CONTROL CHARGED A COUNCIL MAKES MEETING PLAN Police Force “Extras” To Be Cut Off in Near Future. No change in the plan to hold a public discussion of the right of Councilman Walter W. Royce to hold office wag arrived at when the council met in regular session last night, The session sched. u'ed for 8 o'clock this evening will be hela as previously announced and the petitioners requesting Royce's removal will be present. Owing to an opinion delivered Saturdgy by City Attorney Ambrose Hemf&gway to the effect that the council had no right to remove Royce it was thought probable that the hearing would be dropped. Councilman Royce is now in Den- ‘ver and will not pe present at the hearing this evening. Neither will he be represented by his attorney. E. E. Enterline, one of Royce's at torneys, stated today that he ‘had taken it for grantec that the coun:|' cll was not going to do anything in- asmuch as they had no jurisdiction and that it was “immaterial. what they do,” Several matters of routine were taken up at last night’s meeting. Statements from the police depart: ment were handed in. It was found that there are at present 34 mem- bers on the Casper police force whereas up until the present year there had never been more than 22 Councilman Pelton considered ‘this rather a Jarge payroll but Mayor Roy replied that ‘several additiona! "men had been employed for the purpose of doligc extra work, much of it being in the way of investiga tion and that there was to be a re- duction in the force in the near fu- ture. An objection was a'so raised to the board Dill of the prisoners de tained in jail. The council recently issued o 3 to the police matron to serve three meals a day to those prisoners who were working and only on the days. during which they were at work. This order has been carried out, according to informa tion from the police. Captain James M. Farris denied today that he had ever visited ten- ants at 230 West B street after mid- night, and had told them to leave town on the next train. The charge was made in council meeting by Mr Vina Barlitt last night. Mrs. Bary litt is the owner of several pleces of property on West B strect According to her statement a man and a woman had rented the house after first producing their marriage certificate. The man had just gone to work here and so far ds she was ble to learn the couple were per ly respectable. The order was said to have been tssyed after mid- night Sunday. Captain Farris stated today that he had given the order ten days before hand a'ong with orders against other residents of that district. Police protection and added light ing facilities for the community surrounding the North Washington @ance hall was advocated by the committee selected to inve reports that the dance hall nulsance. The report of the com: mittee was to the effect that the hall itself was run properly but that the nuisance arose outside of the (Continued on Page Four) NUMBER 166.

Che Cazp Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Split Seen in NO CHANGE Il 7 ammany Hall Hearst Plot to Wreck Machine Back of ’ Mayor Hylan's Fight Against Ap- pointing Poor Man as Czar BY ROBERT T. SMALL, (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune). NEW YORK, May 6.—Mayor Hylan seems to think it will give the people too much of an insight into Tam- many affairs for a man to resign a $15,000 job to take the leddership of Tammany hall, which carries no salary at all. In other words the mayor believes that a man should be wealthy in his own right before he cun take q political position of this sort—a position which carries with it the right of supreme dicta- tion in New York City affairs. The late Charles F. Murphy had made a comfortable fortune for him- - Murphy’s Heir? A storm has broken within Tam- many, according to political rum- blings, as the result of efforts to seat James A. Foley to succeed the late Charles F, Murphy. Foley ts mentioned as first choice of a ma- jority of district leaders of Tam- many Hall. THREE WOMEN WIN PLACES AS CONVENTION DELEGATES self in the saloon and contracting business before he became the czar ot Tammany. His friends avow that og increased during his tenure of office only by his invest. ments in outside concerns. The old guard in Tammany ts say- ing today that Mayor Hyland's statement, sitting at the proposed appointment of Surrogate James A. Foley, as Tammany leader, is merely a gesture dictated by William Ran- dolph Hearst, who would like to see Tammany weakened it not disrupted by an inside fight. A Tammany divided against itself would not stand. ‘The rule of the leader must be absolute, Mutiny jn the ranks would spell defeat for this most unique of political institutions. Tammany has its own methods of taking care of its minor officials, They are all, or nearly all placed on the elty payroll in one capacity or another, at salaries ranging up to $8,000 or $9,000 a year. No pro- vision ver has been made for the leader, however. _All of them have had visible means of support when they undertook the direction of Tam- many affairs. The late Richard Croker was a very wealthy man. “Boss Tweed got rich quick and paid for it by spending his idle time in jail. Mayor Hylan's idea is that Tam many cannot stand the “blow” of having a man resign a $15,000 a year judgeship to take the honorary position of Tammany hall. leader. Yet that appears to be in the cards today. Judge Foley is an extremely pe rman in the Tammany organ ization nd the sentiment in favor of his selection as leader has been growing steafilly since Mr. Murphy's unexpected death. He has not been a district leader but he is the son-in- law of Mr. Murphy and he imbided much of the latter's political wisdom.
