Round in Federal Fight BALTIMORE, M4., Dec. 16.—Fea- eral Judge Morris A. Soper today sustained the demurrer of the Bal- timore Post. to the indictment charg- ing illegal publication of income ‘tax returns. The demurrer admitted the facts set forth in the indictment—that the Post publishing the tax payments of the five person named therein, but contended no law was violated. Judge Soper held that by the act of 1914 it was plain that congress de- termined to abandon the policy of secrecy of the genera] public con- cerning the amount of taxes paid. United States Attorney Woodcock, who handled the caro for the govern- ment said the question of an appeal would be decided by the department of justice at Washington. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The U. S. attorney at Baltimore will be in- structed immediately to file an. ap- peal from the ruling of Federal Judge Soper in the Baltimore Daily Post tax publication case. wearin) <A ETS THE SHOP-O-SCOPE aims to sive better gifts—and its aim could not be better! CO-OPERATION OF CASPER IN TOURIST PROGRAM ASKED BY ROCKY MOUNTAIN MOTORISTS Casper's .co-operation jin a cam- Daign ‘to,;promote tourist business throughout, the Rocky Mountain region and divert: portion! of the tide which now’ fléods westward’ to California was bespoken by mem- bers 6f the Rocky Mountain: Motor- ists, In¢,, in) dddréases ‘before the forum ‘luncheon’ ofthe chamber of commerce) in the ‘Hotel Henning. ‘The chamber’s board of ‘directors was in session with the visitors this afternoon ‘to plan a program for the newly, organized Wyoming. division of the association. “Our fight is to get-our share of the-increasing population and wealth of America,” C, Wertham, executive secretary ‘of the Colorado division, told the forum. “It is a purely selfish business proposition. We are trying to do what the Auto club of Southern, Calffornia has been doing for; years. We propose to do it by three methods: First, adequately to mark» highways; second, map them properly; third, collect. and dissem!- nate this information which it will be most valuabl The original Motorists organiza- tion has as its correspondents more than 400 motor clubs and tourist agencies all over the country, Mr. Wertham explained. It “has on its files also the names of nearly 10,000 Prospective voyagers. Maps, circu- lars, information of all sorts telling of the scenic and industrial advan- tages’ of the mountain states are supplied these clubs and individuals. Mr. Wertham pointed that both Wyoming and Colorado could: profit immensely by co-operation. “We have three show windows— Mesa Verde park in southern Colo- rado;' Estes park in ‘northern ‘Colo- rado, and Yellowstone:{n northwest- ern Wyoming. Wyoming should start its tourists in Yellowstone, route them through the state and on, into Colorado. ~ In Colorado we can send them northward from Mesa Verde to Estes and’on to Yellow. stone.” Statistics were quoted by Mr, Wertham to show that every. motor tourist spent an “average of $5 ’a day in whatever community he hap- pened to visit. “Ini addition, he pointed out, from the tourist hordes are drawn the permanent settlers and investors. J. E. Walton of Chéyenne, one of the foundérs of the Wyoming divi- sion, told briefly of its organization and emphasized that it was strictly a Wyoming corporation, entirely in- dependent from the Colorado body and linked with it’only by the com mon need for co-operation. A meeting to effect a state-wide organization and elect .a permanent board of directors will be held in Cheyenne, February 1,.Mr. Walton dnnounted. By. that time the char- ter members hope to enlist the aid of leading business men throughout the: state. He. stressed the fact that the criticism the work of the organt- zation had received; at first was based entirely on“ misapprehension of its motives'and had since been entirely withdrawn. ~Mr. “Wertham and Mr. Walton were introduced by Leslie A. Miller of Gheyenne and formerly of Casper. R. E. Gates of Denver, one of the organizers of the Colorado diyision, was another guest. Prior to the introduction of the speakers, the forum went on record as expressing its warm appreciation and gratitude for the work done by the various-committees in charge of the: first annual poultry, egg .and potato show held here last week. The resolution was offered by R. 8. Ellison. } HW. B, Durham, presided over the meeting. » ‘ et LATE FLASHES SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 16.—Four- tee ncampfire girls, who were aboard thelr club house. ship, the Camara- darie, last night, when it swung in the wind at its mooring in a 100 foot arc and damaged a house boat and a dock nearby, were taken off tho vessel today.

WASHINGTON, . Dec. 16.—The senate went on record today as fav- or'ng private operation of Muscle Shoals. The expression was voiced in the defeat of the Smith amendment which woild have struck out of the Underwood bill all of the teas. Ing clauses, leaving only the gov- ernment operation section.

The vote was 32 to 49. Unamended, the Underwood bill would author'ze the secretary of war to lease Muscle Shoals for the production of nitrogen for fertilizer and ammunition but if a sultable lease could be obtained by next September 1, it would proyide for government ‘operatfon. tat be tee SNOW WORMS ARE FOUND IN ALASKA SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 16.—Snow worms_have been found in the Cas- cade mountains of Washington and on glaciers and mountains in Alaska, Trevor Kincaid, professor of zoology in the University of Washington de- clared today after an investigation. “The snow or ice worm is not really pink, as many assert, but is more of a brownish hue,” said Prof. Kincaid. “The brown pigment in its skin is a source of heat which enables the worm to bore its way through glacier ice like a heated wire.
