Royce, convicted on liquor charges. such was) probably the shortest ever held by a Casper council and produced no results except to assure the audience that the council was through with the matter. Mayor S. K. Loy, City Attorney Ambrose Hemingway, Councilman John Whisenhunt and Councilman Royce were not present. Attorney R. M. Boeke acted for the city attorney and Councilman Pelton was presi- dent pro tem of the council. Captain J. E. Frisby requested to know if it were not possible to bring proceedings against Royce fer having vidlated his official oath of office. This, according to Mr. Pelton, was out of line with the pur- pose of the meeting since the ses- sion had been called merely to have a hearing on the petition and that nothing which was not in the petition could be discussed. There BABY STOLEN BY WOMAN TO ‘FOOL’ HER HUSBAND, POLICE - TOLD ON MAKING DISCOVERY PHILADELPHIA, May 7.—Ten weeks old Corinne Modell, stolen on Monday ag she lay asleep in her coach in front of her home was found by the police today in the house of a woman who admitted she took the infant to fool her husband. The woman, Mrs. Mary Gorman DeMarco, were arrested. The house where the child was found is a mile from the Modell home. Mrs. DeMarco told the po- lice that she. brought the baby home on Monday and that she had told her husband it was born that day while he was at work. Her husband, she said, believed her story. The police, however, were skeptical and imme- ditely placed handcuffs on the hus- band and took him to a police sta- tion with his wife. Mrs. Harry Modell gave a shriek when informed over the telephone that her*baby had been recovered and fainted in the arms of a broth- er-in-law. Shortly afterward her husband rushed into their home with the child in his arms and hand- ed it over to the mother. “Oh, my darling, my darling; thank God I have you back,” Mrs. Modell cried. ‘The child-was found at 5136 War- ren street, about a mile from the home of the parents. The baby was identified by Harry Modell, the fath- er, after the poliee broke into the house. The woman found with the child is alleged to have admitted that she took the infant. WIFE DESERTER 19 RETURNED 10 DAKOTA Ezra Chase, who was arrested sev- eral days ago by the sheriff's office on a charge of wife desertion pre- ferred in Abordeen, 8. D., was taken back to that city yesterday by De- Puty Sheriff Anderson. DeMarco and her husband, The hearing as was some argument on the question whether anything which pertained to ousting the councilman could really Me outside the petition. ‘No motion was made. “We elected a man to a position of trust, responsibility and honor,” said the Rev. Charles G. Stout. “We feel that we have been buffaloed. , What is the proper step to take so that this will not happen again? The opinion regently delivered by the city attorney has caused many people to think that this is final. But is not there such a thing as lawyers being mistaken. This man has violated his oath. There is no reason why we should lie down and submit to a thing like that when it 's such an outrage.” Attorney Boeke refused to argue points of law with the citizens, not feeling any desire to take responsi- bility for the city attorney. With the exception of a few mem- bers of the audience there was a strange lack of enthusiasm find the, general conclusion ‘was tht . the council was washing its hands of the matter, having decided to adopt the opinion of City Attorney Hem- ingway when he stated that the council had no authority to remove the cguncilman in question. A woman from among the citizens claimed that she was a plain clothes detective and that she wanted to know where her boys ‘“‘were going to get their liquor when Royce was put in jail.” The question sent the (Continued on Page ‘Twelve) AT Oh.

SMALL (Copyright, 1924, The Cas- . per Tribune NEW YORK, May 7.—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia’ Uni- versity is being urged to lead a nation-wide movement against the present concep- tion of prohibition in the United States. The distinguished educator has been receiving hundreds of let- ters daily since he’ spoke his mind about the Volstead act and the tenor of most of them {s to effect that there is a widespread reaction against conditions growing out of the »prohibition laws, but thus far the anti dry movement has lagged for lack of a courageous leader. Some.of Dr. Butler's correspond- ents are of the opinion that-anvera of tolerance fs about to dawn in the United States nnd they commend especially the tolerance which has marked Dr. Butler's administration of affairs’ at Columbia ag to race, re- ligion and temperance. The corres- pondents report that the Methodist general conference which denounced Dr. Butler's attitude on the Volstead act there was never the less a new spirit of lberality, which may result in the lifting of the traditional me+ (Continued on Page Twelve) PLANS LAID \EW LAW WIL Six Italians Scheduled to Die Friday for Louisiana Murder Taken to Prison to Await Hanging AMITE, La., May 7.—Six men sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Dallas Calmes reached here from New Orleans and were placed in individual cells in the parish prison, where they will remain until Friday, the date of the executions.
