Mr. Moore grows in. hia proportion as a hero as the play esses.

GOSSIP OF ‘OPEN TOWN [9 GIVEN SETBACK Appointment of George McLaughlin as Police Head Wins Favor. By ROWLAND WOOD. (Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association.) NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Critics of Mayor-elect Walker who predicted a city-wide Hfting of the yice lid in this city during his administration have been effectually silenced, for the moment, by the appointment of George V. McLaughlin aa police comnussioner, Mr. McLaughlin does not know the first thing, as yet, about the police department. But despite this fact, the whole city is expecting him to “make good". Citizens of both parties unite in saying Mr. Walker bas picked an idea) man for the job. For, if he doesn't know much’ about police affairs, he has shown the ability to grasp problems quickly and there {ys nobody anywhere who has anything to say against. his character. Certainly the new commissioner is admirably qualified physically for his augean task. Only 38 years old, he carries 200 pounds of brawn on a six-foot frame. His friends say that his vitality and endurance are amazing. And his determination and ability os an organizer and executive are little less striking than his physique. His first public job was chairman of a committee to investigate pro» moters of “blue sky” stock schemes. He did such a good job against the stock crooks that Governor Smith made him superintendent of banks, in which post he has been a terror to fly-by-night private bankers. Governor Miller, a republican, liked him go, well that he retained him in the post and when Governor Smith went back to Albany a year ago, he hung onto McLaughiin— until his protege, Jimmy Walker, evinced a keen desire for him. Then the governor joined the ranks of those who urged McLaughlin to take the police-post and give New Yorkanother Roosevelt or Arthur Woods regime. Commissioner . McLaughlin will start -bis job with.as much freedom as General Smedley D. Butler thought he was going to have when he went to “clean up’ Philadelphia two years ago. Mr. Walker gave him the job with the declaration that there would be “no political or private interference of any kind" There will be no “Butlerian” tactics after the first of the year, no beating of the drums, no spec- tacular city-wide raids. But in a quiet, efficient sort of way, unless all indications fail, McLaughlin is going to put the screws on organized vice and known criminals and drive them out of town, CASPER SHOE CTORESMEAGE Announcement was made today of the consolidation of the Haytin Boot Shop in the Gladstone Hotel build- ing, with the Turner-Cottman Shoe Store, in the location now occupied by the latter establishment.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1925 ALL RECORDS BROKEN DURING HOLIDAY SEASON FOR MAIL (CHAIRMAN OF BACK LCC, HANDLED BY CASPER OFFICE stilts ‘ Edwin M. Bean, postmaster of the local office, has given the Tribune some very Interesting figures on the holiday season. The amount of mail- ing during«the Christmas season is a fair barometer of the business done in a community. The Casper post office handled more mail this year'than ever before. The mail was handled quicker dur- ing the past two weeks, as on the day after Christmas all parcels that could be delivered were in the hands of the consignees. There {s a certain percentage of unclaimed mail, that cannot be delivered either on account of wrong address or that the pack- age notices must be put in general delivery. Some of the packages will be on the hands of the local office for ‘the next thirty days in order to S2 WHEAT AND $1 CORN SEEN IN CHICAGO! By OWEN L. SCOTT. (Copyright, 1925, Consolidated “Press | Association.) CHICAGO, Dec, 29.—A boom in grain prices, with $2 and above for wheat and $1 and more for corn as the objective, is in the offing on the Chicago Board of Trade. Such is the talk of the bulls as they look ahead to the turn of the year. But it matters little to the farmer at present, to what heights prices are shoved. His crops have largely been disposed of, so that the expected speculative boom will be of only secondary concern to him. The Board of Trade observers se' a variety of reasons back of a bull market. Not the least important is anticipated support from big eastern interests who may be concerned over diverting attention from the present outburst of protests against existing conditions which are coming from agricultural interests in the middle west, Most important fs the shortage of wheat. Out of a short crop of 669,365,000 bushels, about 50 million already have been exported, leaving barely enough to meet domestic re- quirements estimated at 650 million bushels. This tight situation in wheat caused a jump of 20 cents a bushel in prices last week, bringing the May delivery over $1:80 for the; first time on the crop. HIRWAY MAIL COURSE INSPEETED BY CHIE CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec, 29.— An inspection of the recent work on the new extension to the lighted night flying course near Rock Springs is being conducted by Harry W.

It was necessary tc add 28 persons to the force of the Casper office. Four sub-stations were opened in order that the mailers might more easily send their packages. Over 18,- 000 packages were Insured. It is estimated that practically half of all the parcels were insured, the insur- ed packages would be proportionally greater during the holiday rush than ordinarily. Last Monday was an exceptional day in the Casper office, as the larg- est number of.first class articles was mailed. On the 2ist of this month over 45,000-Casper letters were re- celved in the office. Co-operation of the mailing pub- Me is belleved to be the reason that the mail has begn delivered so early during the last season.
