CHEYENNE, Wyo,, July 24.— (Special to The ‘Tribune.)—Recom- mendation that Casper be selected as a point to be served by air mal! has been made to Postmaster Gen- eral Harry §. New by Senator ¥rancis . Warren. The route which would be followed were Cas- per secured as such a point has not been definitely outlined. It 1s cer tain that service through Cheyerine would in no way be interfered with. There has been some talk of a Billings-to-Denver route and in that event Casper would be in line for such service but so far congress has made no appropriations other than for trans-continental mail and the possibility of such appropriation is still considered remote in most cuarters, THREE INJURED IN AUTO:GRASH DOUGLAS, Wyo., July 24.—Gpec- fal to the Tribune).—Three Casper people are in the hospital here re- covering from injuries received about 4:30 o'clock yesterday after: noon when their car struck a tele phone pole seyen miles east of this place.

All but one cas the beer was afterwards, dumped into the iriver. Marshall was re- leased this afternoon on $1,000 bond. ‘The house where the beer was found had been watched closely for some time although it had been dif- ficult to secure definite evidence. An attempt had been made through the burning of incense ta keep down the odor of the beer which was in the makirfg. Besides the beer which was unearthed the officers also found 40 gallons of beer in the mak- ing. The entire plant was one of the best that has been found here. With the exception of a place operated .by E. R.

Formal and | in- formal meetings of the delegates to- day produced no indication of a way out of the impasse. The principal meeting was at Downing street where Premier Herriot of France, Premier Theunis of Belgium, American Ambassador Kellogg and Italian Finance Minis- ter De ‘Stefani had a two hours con- versation with Prime Minister Mac- Donald. The greatest significance is being attached to the comings and goings of Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon of the United States, who are having . most difficult task in convincing London that their mission here is unofficial.
