Free Slaves From
Woman Barber.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 3-The
shop of Mrs. Elizabeth Brown,
the only woman barber in Wyom-
ing, today resembled a military
headquarters as a result of Mrs.
Browns announcement that she
would give a free shave and hair
cut to every member of the Wy
oming National Guard, which is
modified here awaiting orders to
proceed to the Mexican border,
who presented himself in uniform.
Mrs. Browns announcement made
an instant hit with the militia
men, who, albeit somewhat shy 4,
were, as one strapping sergeant
expressed it, willing to try any
thing once"
"Line up as many of you that
want to-" said Mrs. Brown, I'm
only too glad to show how L ap-
preciste what you are about to do
for your country. 1 only wish
that l could do more, but at least
I can shave you, and in that way
add something to your comfort
now"

Fourth at Laramie

This week Laramie City put on
a Roundup hat was the biggest
thing that has happened in the
celebration line for many years
outside of the Cheyenne From
tiers.
Starting with Tuesday morning
they will finish tonight and it has
been a grand success. No pains,
means or funds were spared and
Laramie entertained, and when
she does do a thing of this kind
it is done right.
Aside from the celebration,
which we are sorry we were COM
PEELED to miss, Laramie is a
mighty fiue little city. She has a
complete concrete sidewalk sys-
tenn that is the best in the west.
She has concreted her cutters and
curbs and crowned the streets
with Sherman gravel. The yard
fences have nearly all disappear
ed. 1t is a forest of well-trimmed
trees, and we can not overlook her
water system which is the finest
water. She has two mammoth
springs that flow out of the hills
to the east within three or four

Martha's Vineyard, on the Allan

the waves in continually washing
through the cleft sucked out the sand

FISH RECEIPTS FALL OFF.
As a Consequence Prices Advance
Considerably Over Last Week.

For some reason unknown to the sea
food dealers at the wholesale market
at the wharf. the receipts Of fish Of
all kinds have fallen off to a con-
siderable extent. In fact, some of
the dealers assert that there Is less
than half the quantity Of desirable
fish on the market today than there
was a week ago. AS a consequence.
prices, with few exceptions, are con-
siderably higher, while the demand
continues good. Gray trout, which
a week ago sold at $3.50 a barrel. are
today quoted at $3.50 a barrel, and
sea bass are two and a half times as
high this week as they were last.
This morning prices ranged about as
follows: Spanish mackerel, 12h cents
a pound: blues, 10 to is cents pound !:
rock. 12h cents pound; carp. to 5
cents a pound founders, to cents
a pound; halibut. "a to 10 cents a

was deferred by the Senate last night
to permit committee consideration Of
an amendment proposed by Senator
La Toilette to eliminate language ex-
cluding persons who advocate or teach
destruction of property. Senator La
Toilette contended that there were
other sufficient bars against anarchists
and that the provision to which he
objected would shut the doors of the
United States to worthy men from
other lands because destruction or
property had been incidental to n revo-
luton in which they were concerned.
Other senator's opposed eliminating the
provision entirely, and 1t was decided
to send the amendment to the commit
tee.
A provision which would have for
hidden entrance to any alien convicted
of crime. even of political charac-
ter. constituting a felony in the United
States was eliminated after several
senators had pointed out that such
law would have prevented the entrance
into the United States of patriots like
Kossuth or Garibaldi.
Senator Phelan's amendment to deny
entrance to women of any race whose
men are not admitted, despite the pro-
visions Of any treaty or agreement. or
the fact that they are to be married
here, unless they are in fact married
according to American law, was re-
jected. He explained 1t was purposed
to exclude the so-called japanese pic
ture brides.

FAVOR A PAGEANT
FOR|NAUGURAT|0N
Projectors Have Outlined Their
Plan to Chairman Robert
N. Harper.
fewer SOLDIERS IN PARADE

A movement supported by many promi-
nent Washingtonians to turn the in
augural parade into pageant depicting
scenes from the history Of the United
States as well as showing the industries
of the country and Representatives of the
nationalities that go toward making up
the population of the United States, began
yesterday with the presentation OF the
plan to Robert N. Harper. chairman of
the inaugural committee.
A committee. with Mrs. Charles o'Hara
Craigie as chairman, has been formed
to study pageafts and prepare one for
the Inauguration of 1921, should it not be
included fu the parade of next March.
This committee. although almost entire
ly "a Washington organization, probably
will have national support. One Of its
purposes is to obtain the appointment of
a permanent non-partiSan committee for
the purpose of arranging for the pageant
sections of Inauguration parades tor the
future.
Chance to Teach Patriotism.
1.-The people of the country are tired
of coming to Washington inauguration
after Inauguration and seeing nothing
but a military parade with. perhaps. q
few civic features" said Mrs. Craigie
this morning. This city has not fully
taken advantage of the opportunity to
make the inaugural parade really a
great thing. A pageant showing the
history and work of our country would
tend torunify the various elements that
would witness 1t.
F The inauguration itself is a making
of history. It would be fitting at the
lively. give a. review of the nation's his
tory" said Mrs. Craigfe. We must re-
member that there are millions of for
efgn-born citizens of our country who
can neither read nor write English. and
are not familiar with the history and
ideals of the United States. Many of
them will see the inaugural parade and
will be able TO understand what is de-
picted before their eyes. Then they
can. in their own way. tell what they
saw to. their fellows"
Good Effects in st. Louis.
Mrs. craigie said that John H. Gund-
ZACH, president of the st. Louis Pageant
Drama Association. declared at the
meeting of the American Civic Associa-
ton yesterday that the recent pageant
in st. Louis did more to arouse pa
triotism among foreign American citi-
zens in st. Louis than any other means
Mrs. C-aigie said that one Of the un-
fortunate elements in the present-da
inaugural parade is the big military
participation. Many foreigners come
to this country to escape militarism.
she said. and the sight of the thousa nds
of soldiers in the paraGe and the play
ing of martial music Is likely to give
hem wrong ideas in regard to the
spirit of the country. 1t is not pro-
posed, however. to eliminate entirely
the military element
H. II. Wheaton of the bureau OF edu-
cation has prepared plans for an in
augural pageant. and 1t is hoped that
the inaugural committee will favorably
consider them to such an extent. that
some Of the ideas, at least. will have
time enough to be worked out for the
parade In March

Germany's Suggestion
for Peace Is Rejected
by French Authorities
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 1.-THE French
government has as yet received no Off
cial notice of Germany's peace note to
neutrals. nor has the American emba ssy
received the text of the note from WASH
ington for transmission to the foreign
office.
If a reply IS made to the German note
1t win be only after consultation with
the allies of France. and such conversa-
tons would require considerable time.
Inquiry in responsible quarters today
solicited the opinion that Gernany's sug-
gestion is a maneuver designed, first
for effect at home; second, to impress
neutrals: third. as a test of public opin-
ion in belligerent countries, with the
chance Of some reaction there.
Germany's suggestion is rejected in atl.
thoritative quarters. where 1t is consid-
cred to be repetition in more concrete
form of the peace discussions original
ing in Berlin from time to time in the

immigration MEASURE
SPASSED BY SENATE
Contains Illiteracy Test, Which Has
Caused Three Presidents
to Veto It.

The immigration bill, containing the
restrictive lteracy test for admission
of aliens which has caused three Presi-
dents to veto such a measure. was
passed by the Senate today by a vote
of 81 to Z. The bill amended In the
Senate goes to conference.
Just before the final vote the Senate
adopted an amendment to the bill pro-
posed by Senator Hardwick designed
to open the door of the United States
to persons who might be guilty OF
destroying property in foreign land
in time of war. insurrection or revolu-
ton. All other so-called anarchists,
however, would be excluded.
Authoritative statements have been
made that President Wilson intends to
veto the bill second time because
of a literacy test. In this event an
EFFORT will be made to pass the bill
over the veto, two-thirds majority in
each house being required. The bill
passed the House last April by vote
Of 30S to 81, more than two-thirds
majority, and the Senate vote today, II
repeated, would be sufficient to over
ride an executive veto.
