Opened With Big Demonstration 4 CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 80.—The Wyoming state legislature returned this morning to its seb ors at the capitol better informed on the work and needs of the state university. The information was gleaned at first hand on yester- day’s visit to the institution at Lara- inie, when buildings and equipment were inspected. Included in the party arried to Laramie and back on a pecial train were Governor Nellie T. Ross and other state officials. The legislative party was met on its arrival at Laramie by a reception committee headed by Dr. Arthur G. Crane, president of the university the Laramfe Council of Industry was also represented. Every department of the untversity was inspected, in- cluding the fine new gymnasium, and in the evening a dinner prepared by the domestic science classes was served to more than 500 people. A feature of the welcome extended the visitors Me the firing of a military salute of 17 guns in honor of Gover- nor Rosa, Military and physical education demonstrations and a parade of the university cadets marked the formal opening of the new gymnasium in the evening, when more than 3,000 spectators in addition to the capital elty guests crowded the galleries to capacity. Swimming demonstrations in the new pool were included while 2 big dance closed the evening. he house suspended its rules Wednesday afternoon, that all bills on which standing committee re- ports had been received might be put through all remaining proce- dure, including final passage. Only one bill met serious opposition 1n the final passage stage—House §&, relating to transient merchants. This bill received 32 votes, exactly the number necessary to puss It. Among bills passed by the house was House 40, which provides that a person who votes in a primary elec: tion shall not be required to regis ter for the ensuing general election. Another was House 46, which au- thorizes incorporated towns to ac- quire and maintain parks located outside their corporate limits but within 30 miles of such limits.

New Banking Code Holds Attention of Legislators in Session Today CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan.|.~_ 80.—While the senate was plodding through the bank code bill, senate 27, this morning, the monotony of the reading of this, the long- est bill introduced since the session opened, was relieved by a colloquy concerning whether the supervising officer provided for by the bill, the “supervisor of banks" woulda be ap- pointed by the proposed “banking commission,” consisting of bankers, or by the governor. ' The governor now appoints the state examiner, the functions of whom! insofar as they bear upon banking would be taken over by the proposed “‘super- visor of banks" Senator Pearson ar- gued that bankers should be author- ized to select a state officer charg- ed with supervision of banking. nator Horton argued that such cedure would be in conformity with such precedents as the appoint- ment of sheep men to the state board of sheep commissioners. The senate at the morning session con- cluded consideration of 61 of the 156 sections of the bill. The house devoted the morning to réutine business. It approved for pageige senate 17, the bill deleting fre the child labor law a provision that children may engage in hazard. ous occupations “under official per- mit. ‘The ‘legislature returned from Laramie at 1 o'clock this mornring, after an inspection of the state uni- versity.

Judge George Carpenter's instruc- ‘tions to the jury required more than halfan hour. He cautioned against giving undue weight to the testimony pt Elias H. Mortimer, the chief wit- ‘ness for the prosecution and a party to the conspiracy on which the trial was based. He warned also that evidence touching upon matters not directly connected with the alleged conspiracy to defraud through hos: pital contracts should recelve scant consideration.

That the holdup man did not net a larger sum is due to the fact that shortly before the thriller happened Mr. and Mrs. J. Hetzell, proprietors of the cafe, had departed with the day's receipts, Though police and deputies from the sheriff's office were telephoned at once, they were unable tp catch the gun-toting stranger. Miss Agnes Pinnecker, waitress and a Mr, Me- Farland, solitory patron, were able to furnish minute descriptions of the bandit. No suspects have been ar rested.

Naval tugs from the navy yard were no more suc- cessful. Today the gale had gone down and the seas were subsiding. Lieutenant Commander Stewart EB. (Continued on Page Seven.)
