Carlisle Caught After
Sheriff Shoots Bandit
Through Right Lung
Continued From Page one.)

Days near Esterbrook Park, and
was traced to that place this morn
ing. 1t was then learned that he
had left this morning from the
home of Frank Newell for the La
Bonte country and the posse lost
his trail.
Later in the morning the posse
learned by telephone that Carlisle
had gone to the Widow Bray's
home and it was from here that Car
Isle made his escape, when almost
in the hands Of his pursuers, just
before noon.
The bandit then doubled back on
his trail to Scott Hamilton's ranch
and from there toward Esterbrook
Park.
Surround the Cabin.
1t was not hard for the posse to
follow the fresh trail to Williams
home, in the widest part of the
Laramie Peak Country. Sheriff
Roach and w. ]. McClement, spe-
cial agent for the Union Pacific at
Cheyenne, lay down in the snow at
Williams back door while the others
surrounded the place. Soon Will
liams came out. He informed the
posse that Carlisle was inside and
the sheriff entered.
Carlisle ran from the kitchen, in
which he had been sitting, to the
front room. He seized an automatic
pistol apparently prepared for battle,
when the sheriff entered and fired
the shot which ended the bandits
career for the time being.
Escaped November Is.
Carlisle escaped from the state
prison on Saturday, November Is,
in a box of shirts shipped from the
short factory in which he was EN-
ployed. He was serving sentence
of Is to so years for train robbery,
committed in 1916.
Three days later he boarded the
Union Pacific Los Angeles limited
at Rock river, robbed passengers IN
a tourist car of $3.50 and escaped
near Medicine Bow.
In making his escape, it was
learned today, Carlisle was wound
ed in the right hand. He was un-
able to get medical attention while
a fugitive in the hills and the bullet
is still in his hand.
From ranch house to ranch house,
through the desolate Laramie. Peak
country, Carlisle made his way,
never attempting to conceal his
identity, rather Boosting of it. 1t
was not until last Saturday that any
of his involuntary hosts notified
officers of the bandits whereabouts.
The officers lost no time in begin
ming the pursuit.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Governmen

action was taken in widely separated

results, were told that the govern
ment intended to stand pat for the
rest of the week, taking no other
steps than those outlined by the ra-
ftioning order, until it was fully de-
termined whether public demand

Retail Stores Order.
In carrying out Dr.. Garfield's pro-
gram for the maximum use of coal
discretion in rationing coal to meet
emergencies and constantly chang
| ing conditions, the St. Louis coal
committee ordered late opening and
early closing for retail stores. In
New York the Tidewater coal ex-
change ordered the cessation OF
bunker coal supply for foreign YES
sells. Elsewhere municipal authori-
ties took similar steps to conserve
the diminishing coal supply.
In congress the situation was
given general attention. Senator
Johnson, democrat, South Dakota,
introduced resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to re-
port the actual profits made by coal
operators between 1916 and 1919, a
subject much mooted since the fuel
administration ordered miners wages
increased IA per cent without allow
ing any increase on the price of coal.
Its immediate consideration was OPP
posed by Senator Smoot, republican.
Utah, who suggested that it go over
for day or two, as he believed con-
current action by the house would be
necessary to justify publication of
the figures.

Senator Thomas, democrat, Colo

letter sent by him to President
Gompers of the labor federation

and their institutions"
The letter was intended by the
Colorado senator as a response to
speeches Of Mr.. Gompers, defending
the strike. Senator Phipps, repub-
lican, Colorado, added statement
by Colorado operators to the effect
that 1919 coal production had result
ed in a net loss for the first six
months of the year Of four cents per
ton.

MARY PICKFORD WINS
TRIBUTE AND APPEAL
Judgment for 100000 to
Agent Is Set Aside.

Tribute was paid by Justice Merrell
OF the Appellate Division OF the SUI
preme Court to the business acumen
displayed in various ways by Gladys
Mary Moore. better known as Mary
Pickford, the motion picture actress, in
decision setting aside a judgment
against the Aim star which was OBJ
tained in Supreme Court by Mrs. Cora
c. Whitening. a literary and booking
agent. Miss Pickford will have another
chance before a new jury to save the
$10S,000 awarded the plaintiff by the
jury which in November heard the FIRST
trial.
The testimony at the trial was to
the effect that the actress had engaged
Mrs. Whitening to write the story Of
her life and place articles dealing with
her in various magazines, ana also to
make for her advantageous contracts.
A percentage OF Miss Pickford's earn
ings were to go to the plaintiff for
her services, It was stated, and the court
action grew out of the alleged failure
of the actress to live up TO the contract.
which was a verbal one. In his de-
cision Justice Merrell said:
The defendant is apparently a busi-
ness woman Of no mean ability. She
has the personal attendance and counsel
at ell times of an attorney. business
manager and her mother who, apparently
also Is a business woman OF judgment
and experience.
The defendant not only receives large
financial returns from the production OF
motion pictures but has been engaged
in scenario writing. has sold the use OF
her name for magazines and newspaper
articles, has permitted its use in adver-
tisements OF toilet preparations and In
other ways has manifested marked
degree of thrift and ability to accumu-
late money. 1t taxes ones credulity to
believe that the defendant. in circum-
stances as she was, would enter into a
verbal contract with comparative

statement In regard to the Governments
procedure:
This case IL merely q matter Of a
difference Of opinion as to the amount
Of depreciation to which we are en-
titled. We took per cent. on our sub
marine cables. but the Government
claims We are entitled to only per cent.
The income tax people have no expe-
rience with the submarine cables, and
We are sure the testimony OF experts
will prove that 2 per cent. is a ridicu-
lously low figure for such properties as
submarine cables.
There is nothing else involved in this
case but the matter of depreciation, and
every business man knows what a diff
cult matter that Is. This Is merely q
test case, instituted by the Government
as to what depreciation should be al
lowed on submarine cables, because that
