Louisville, KY, Nov. 20.-F'ritz
Kreisler, violinist and one time Aus
trian army officer, officially advised
of widespread hostility to his pro-
posed appearance here tonight in re-
cital, cancelled his engagements on
advice of Mayor G.. w Smith, and is
speeding toward Lawrence, Mass, his
next scheduled stop.
The attitude of Louisville citizens,
as indicated in resolutions of criti-
cism passed by several organizations,
was communicated to c. j. Foley,
Kreisler's manager, by the mayor,
who followed it with a written COM
munication requesting Foley to indefi-
nitely postpone the concert.
The mayors letter said he had con-
sidered the unusual circumstance"
and had concluded that 2 postpone
ment would be "the part of wisdom"
although admitting Kreisler's right to
give a performance.

wishes kreisler himself did not put in
appearance.
The first move against Kreisler's
appearance was made several days ago
when jefferson post, American legion,
adopted resolutions condeming it. A
number of other organizations fol-
lowed its lead and under their influ-
ence matter advertising the concert
was removed from store windows and
other public places. The Kreisler or
ganization, however, announced that
contractural obligations were such
that only Kreisler or his authorized
agent could cancel the engagement.
Moreover, Kreisler's agent was re-
ported as having said the Louisville
engagement was regarded in the ma
ture of testing out sentiment and
might be taken as an index to the at
titude of cities on his itinerary.
The whole matter, however was
brought to a sharp issue when Foley
sought a conference with Mayor
Smith today. Meanwhile ticket can
cellations had reduced Kreislers pros

the Union Pacific for the "haul" is the
only additional bit of information to-

Casper is being combed by police
and sheriffs officers. posse of
seventy men is still searching the
country around Medicine Bow aided
by United States cavalry and other
armed men are in readiness to leave
Cheyenne on ten minutes notice by
special train in case new depreda-

headquarters Of the Union Pacific
railroad here.
Union Pacific officials said tele-
gram had not been received here.

night the bandit was reported to have

berry. Descriptions furnished by
Western Union employees of the man
who filed the message at Casper and
by the Casper editor tailed with those
of the bandit who robbed Union Pa
cific passenger train Tuesday night.
In Cheyenne the chief concern of
Union Pacific officials Is for the
safety of passengers traversing this
state. Guards were doubled on trains
yesterday and officials are confident
that the bandit will attempt to repeat
his exploits of 1915 when he held up
three trains within short period and
taunted officers with telegrams aud
letters
Whether the next robbery will be
tonight, tomorrow or the next night
was matter which kept local rail-
road offices keyed to a high point.
Carlisle is known to have boasted
that he is the greatest train robber
in history. He boasted of the fact
that he has never killed a man nor
robbed women and old men. ~

he is quoted as saying after his cap
ture in 1916.
Officials are considering the possi-
biity that Carlisle may try to leave
the state for Montana or some other
state of the northwest because in
Wyoming train robbery is a capital
offense. Another theory is that he |
may come to Denver, where he lived |
In ease for some time between rob-

PRESIDENT WON 7
RESCIND DRY ACT
At PRESENT TIME
Unless Supreme Court De-
CIareS Wartime Act Un-
constitutional There Is No
Hope of a Wet Christmas,
10y norkrn7 lorssAl .esc A. lusco w.ssI

Washington, Nov. 20.-Whnc the
supreme court was hearing Arguments
today on the validity of the wartime
prohibition act, word went out from
the White House that President VIII
son would not rescind the dry" act
until peace formally had been de-
clared.
This was expected to set at rest the
ever-recurring rumors that the dry
ban would be lifted by the president
irrespective of early ratification of
the treaty, Failure of the senate to
act on the treaty at the extraordinary
session was regarded by many admir-
istration officials as precluding the
ending of the technical state Of war
much before the constitutional pro-
hibition amendment became effective
next January 16.
Should such prove the case. the
only possibility of a ''wet" Christmas
would be for the supreme court to de.
clare the wartime act constitu-
tional. Arguments on the pending
cases will be concluded tomorrow,
but as the court begins a recess Mon
day no decision is expected until it
reconvenes on December 5,
The right of congress to Prohibit
the manufacture and sale of intoXi-
eating liquors was sharply attacked
and vigorously defended during the
arguments.
Legal Lights Disagree.
Elihu Root and Others conte nd ed
that the wartime act and the Vol
stead enforcement measure not only
the fifth constitutional
prohibiting the taking of
without just compensat ton,
but were imperative owing to the
cessation of hostilities and the de-
of the army which were
responsible for the enactment.
Solicitor General, King and William
l., Frierson, assistant attorney gen.
eral for the government however,
argued that a state of war still existed
and that it was congress- intent to
provide wartime prohibition until the
peace treaty was ratified
The arguments which will be con-
cluded tomorrow, were in appeals
brought to the supreme court from
Kentucky whore sthe wartime prohi-
bition act was declared unconstitu-

BUTCHERS
PROFITEERING I
CHICAGO, CLAIM
Strikers During 3-WeekS' Per-
iOd Operate Stores and Sell
Meat Far Below Prices Pre-
VaiIing Elsewhere,

Chicago, Nov 20.-Investigations
of charges of profiteering on the part
of the master butchers, which were
made during the strike, which ended
today after a duration of three weeks,
disclosed that the four retail shops
opened by the strikers, have been
wholesale price.
To substantiate their charges of
profiteering the strikers opened the
four stores, which were operated by
individuals and yesterday their quo
tations for meat of medium grade
was as follows;
Porterhouse steak, a pound, is
cents; sirloin steak, IS; round steak,
15 chuck roasts, So TO l21af lamb
chops (loin), Is; stewing lamb, 10;
pork chops, 20; smoked hams (sliced),
40; lard, 80, and veal outlets, rs cents.
The master butchers, doing cash
and carry business, quoted the fol-
lowing prices

80 cents sirloin steak, 2S to 81;
round steak, 25 to 80; chuck roast,

stewing lamb, 10 to IS; pork chops,
35 to 40; smoked hams (sliced), so
to 55 lard, SO to So, and veal outlets,
IS to As cents.
No. . Meat Handled.
The strikers claimed that they
handled the grade of meat known as
number two, also classified as me
dum. The master butchers, how
ever, asserted that the strikers shops
carried the poorest grades of meat
and which they did not handle, as It
would not satisfy their customers, and
that the demand for such meat exists
only in the poorest parts of the city,
A government inspector also declared
that the strikers shops sold only in
ferior grades.
The master butchers claimed that
the strikers opened their shops as
propaganda" They claimed the me-
dium grades of meat they sell is
quoted as follows by the packers;
Porterhouse steak, a pound, 21H
to 32 cents; sirloin steak, Is to 25;
round steak 121a to IS; chuck roast,
Sh to 1917 stewing lamb, s to 1oi
pork loin, "a; smoked ham (whole),
rs to %, and lard, 2S cents.
According to the master butchers
and packers, q porterhouse or sirloin
steak may be twenty cents a pound
higher in one locality than in another
owing to demand, location. overhead
expenses, volume of business and
quality.
Strikers Get More Pay.
Guy f. O'Neal, secretary of the re-
tail butchers union, said the butchers
were doing all in their power to re-
duce living costs. He said one of the
terms of the agreement was that the
S. wage increase given the strikers,
should not raise the price of meat
The men asked for a scale of $40 a
week and all hands returned to work
on $35 scale,
The shops opened by the union
butchers will be continued by indi-
viduals, said Mr., O'Neil, and that
prices will continue low.

the coupons will not affect the appor-
