VICTIMS Of GREAT
AIRSHIP TRAGEDY
never HAD CHANCE
Thlrty-fOur Persons Killed and Many
Injured When Greatest Air Ship
Collapsed and Fell Burn.
Ing Mass.

Army Supply Base, Hampton Roads
Va. Feb. 22. - A charred skeleton of
twisted metal splashed with bits of
frayed bunting mark the spot where
"a persons died in the crash of the
semi-rigid dirigible Roma, the great
est airship ever built in the world
There are II survivors of the crash
and the terrific fire that made a
funeral pyre OF the trapped victims
Those Of the survivors able to talk to-
day blamed the catastrophe upon
broken elevating controls and Lib
orty motor that went dead" The
Roma was making its first test flight
after Liberty motors had replaced the
original Italian engines.
Out Of the maze of counter-stories
1t was apparent today that the crew
and passengers of the Roma for the
most part never had a chance" Trap
ped beneath the falling envelope Of
the bag, they were blasted into black
ened. shriveled corpses in the first
great explosion that followed the crash
The handful who escaped either dove
from the cabins Just before the crash
or else landed in deep gullies that
criss crossed the field upon which the
Roma landed These quilted provided
protection from the blast for few.
The bodies of the dead, some Of them
charred beyond hope Of recognition,
lie In tiny morgue at Newport News,
Va, across the bay from the scene Of
the catastrophe.
Three Investigations into the crash
are being conducted by Major General
Patrick chief Of the Army Air Ser
vice, who came from Washington by
airplane: by Lieutenant Colonel Ar
thur G. Fisher, acting commandant at
the flying field, who ordered the Roma
"up" on its last flight, and by Major

Kennedy announced today he would

Senator Asks That Probe Of State

pers Placed In Category of
Manufacturing Plants.

Frankfort. KY, Feb. q. - A resolu-
ton for an investigation of the State
Board of Health was offered in the
Senate today by Senator Frank E.
Daugherty of Nelson county.
Judge Daugherty introduced the
resolution with view of checking I'D
receipts and disbursements.
He said that he was not Offering
the resolution as criticism, but be-
cause he believed that the legislators
should be acquainted with the finances
of board which receives the amount
of money that the State Board of
Health does from the State, the Gov
ernment and other source The COM
mission would consist of three Sen
ators and three Representatives.
The Thompson tax bill was read
into the calendar without a fight, but
1t is understood that opposition to the
measure as it now stands will de-
velop when it is brought up for pas
sage.
Newspapers and printing houses
ehould be classified by the state as
they are classified by the Federal
Government, Senator H. V. Bell of
Anderson county declared in advocacy
Of his bill to exempt their plants from
local taxation.
Senator Paul Garner of Breckin-
"'dge county declared he thought it an
attempt to allow large, financially
strong concerns "to dodge taxes"
Mr.. Bell replied that newspapers are
manufacturing plants and that he did
not see how anyone of intelligence
could oppose the bill.
Senator Frank E. Daugherty of Mel
son county advocated the bill, calling
attention to the fact that newspapers
begin with raw and end with fin
ished product He paid tribute to
newspaper men throughout the state
and said the bill would tighten the
load which the overburdened country
newspaper is forced to carry.
Newspapers and newspaper men oc-
cupy one of the foremost places in the
ranks Of education in my opinion"
Senator H. F. Green of Livingston
county declared. 81 urge every mem
ber Of the Senate to support the mea-
sure"
The count was 33 to /, Mr.. Garner
casting the only dissenting vote.

COUNTY JAIL TO
UNDERGO THOROUGH
REPAIRING At ONCE
Sawed Bars to BE Welded and Screen
Of Small Mesh to Be Placed OH
Every Window to Present Out.
side Communication.

County Judge H. P. Purnell and the
County Commissioners have ordered
the Mason county Jail thoroughly
overhauled by thorough mechanics
who are today engaged in making
necessary repairs to the building.
In the past several deliveries and
the attempted delivery which was nip
ped by officials Tuesday, prisoners
have rather badly sawed up the in
terror. Many of the inside cell bars
have been sawed while there are sew
cral holes in the steel floor and the
iron screening on the windows has
been badly cut up.
Mechanic are now engaged in weld
ing the broken and sawed iron bars on
the cells and in patching the holes in
the floor. New Iron screening has
been ordered for I'll Of the windows of
the Jail. The screening now used Is
one inch mesh and the new screening
ordered will be one-quarter inch mesh
so that nothing can be passed
throug the meshes This will no
doubt stop all communication from
the outide of the building.
Judge Purnell has ordered a COM
plete new set of "bull locks" for the
cells so that prisoners can be locked
into their cells instead of being per-
mitted to congregate together on both
floors of the building.
When all Of these improvements are
made, the county Jail should be as safe
as It was when first built.

THE OLD ~. P" BUGABOO

1t would have been surprising if the primary election would
arrive before someone raised the old bugaboo about ~. P. con-
troll" 1t remained for the Wheatland Times to unearth the skel-
eton that a generation ago rent party lines and good feeling as
under in this state. History informs us that in Wyomings early
struggles the Union Pacific Railroad was a factor in politics. and
that candidates were generally known as U. P. men or anti u p,
and this classification in many instances cut more figure than
territory voted for ~. F. men, and those living north of uf
railroad voted for the ants.
U. P. control may have largely been a myth, or it may have
existed, but today the U. P. is no more a political factor in this
state than the Telegraph or Telephone company.
The Wheatland Times, one of the best edited newspapers in
Wyoming, and a power in state affairs, SAYS in a lengthy editorial
concerning the chances in the primary election of Hon. Charles
E. Winter of Caspe~ and Hon. M. S. Reynolds. of Kemmerer:
Reynolds ia expected to carry most of the Union Pacific
territory. but the fact that he is generally considered as a
u. P. man will initiate against him in the central and north
state the Union Pacific controlled Wyoming politics, and it
is said to have been q government of the U p. by the U. P.
and for the Y. p With the development of the rest of the
state the U. P. control was broken, but some prejudice still
remains against the old U. P. domination and attaches to
candidates from that territory"
According to the Times logic, then, there are seven more
labeled ~. P" as they come from that territory. 1t cannot be
denied that the majority of the candidates come from the south
ern part of the state; but under the present primary system, there
state representation on the ticket, as it was under the party con-
vention system.
1t is manifestlv unfair to brand or allude to any candidate
~. p" or to dig up a skeleton that long since was given a re-
spectacle burial: Geographical lines cannot be adhered to so close
improbable, with no entangling alliances. and he is qualified for
the office to which he aspires, because he resides in some par
t,cular part OF the state or does not reside in some particular spot
should not augur against him.
Reynolds is representative of all Wyoming. He stands ready
to work for the best interests of all the state, at all times. and no
one can stand before the people of Wyoming freer from ali in
fluences, corporate or individual than Mr.. Reynolds. There have
been no sectional preiudices in Wyoming state effairs for wears
and it is not for the best interests of the state that it should be
injected into the primaries this year.
If applied to one candidate it can be applied all around
Kemmerer Republican.

ENV|AbLE RECORD
MADE BY M0NDELL
DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PAYS FIT.
TING tribute TO Achievements
OF OUR REPRESENTATIVE

1t vas quite a shock to the East,
and to Eastern newspapers especial
ly. when Frank W. Mondell was
elected floor leader Of the house, a
position second only to that of
speaker in point of rank. and second
to none in the matter Of the labor
entailed or the ability and expert
ence required to fill it successfully.
1t is hard for the East to reconcile
its out-worn conception OF the
sparsely settled Rocky Mountain
west with signal ability in lines 9TH
er than rope throwing and bronco
busting. Yet eastern papers,. on the
whole. following that initial shock.
have been reasonably fair in their
grudgtng recognition of Mondell's
ability and service. The following
article, taken from the Boston Globe,
a Democratic paper, by the way, is
typical:
"Whether one agrees with Mr..
Mondell or not. it must be acknowl-
edged that to attain his present hiEh
standing in his party and in congress
means that lie is a man of consider
able ability.
Here is an orphan boy who knew
little of the loving tenderness OF a
mother or the watchful care Of =

separated from his brothers and
sisters and relatives. who were ap-
parently too busy looking after
themselves to pay much attention to
him. whose only education was what
he was able to secure at q country

railroad construction gang in the
Rockies. and at last settled down in

gress. has been able to hold his own
in argument with the ablest lawyers
of the house. whose speeches are
models in the English language, and
at sixty his party associates I'M
anmiously turn to him as their floor
leader.
He was brought up under the
guiding care Of an Iowa preacher
farmer. New Hampshire born. and
educated in Massachusetts. Indeed
most OF the netghbors of the minister
were from New England. Thus it
was that the present leader of the
house uncNnsc!ously imbibed his New
England ideas Of law and order. rev.
erencp for God and loyalty to Amer
lean ideals.
40 his everlasting credit be 1t
said. he is as poor today as when ne
wert to congress. He lives modest
ly in Washington. is blessed with a
good wife and five children"
Aside from the direct tribute paid
Mondell by this Eastern paper. there
is another paid by inference that is
even more significant. Persons in
new country not infreQuently cite
their points Of origin in boastful
tones. but 1t is rare indeed that

ironically THE hub OF the universe"

"A high tribute was paid by Hon. John W. Hay to
Governor Carey and the Republican administration of
state affairs at the banquet at the Plains Hotel a month
ago. He called attention to the fact that not a single sus-
picion of graft could be laid at the door of the state and
that efficiency and business like methods had prevailed in
the handling of public business.
This was q refreshing thing to hear and should be
worth more to Governor Carey and his associates than the
salaries they receive or the honors which are theirs due to
their high position of office.
Such a state of affairs is needed in every department
of public life. It would be appropriate in private affairs as
well. We may all of us emulate the worthy example set by
those in authority" -Northern Wyoming Herald, Cody,

TROOP FOUR OF CASPER
SCOUTS Leaves TODAY
FOR OUTING At CAMP

Troop Four OF the Boy scouts left
today at 1870 O'Clock for the moun
tains to spend everh days at Camp
Rotary. Troop One has been at the
camp since last Sunday and Troop
Two is upon top having spent last
night at Fred Pattee's cabin over
towasis Eadsviile.
There appears to be an attraction
about the winter hikes hat the
Scouts take and the boys seem to like
'hese tramps through h deep snows
n the pine forests on the mountains
even better than they Ike the SUM
mer camps. The wcod have a beauty
md charm ent rely different from
summer and the ScoutH seem to take
to It better than when everything is
handy n easy as in the summer
months. At the present time. II is a
feat in itself to climb to the top of
the mountains with n pack on ones
back and far different from the easy
hike up a well Travelled road in sum-
mer. The asbestos trail is now under
10 feet OF snow In places and the
Scouts wallow through the drifts for
hours before reaching the top.
Troop Eight was inspected last eve
ming at the Presbyterian Tabernacle.
Scoutmaster O. u. Wilson was in
charge and the troop passed a credit
able examination although not the full
enrolment was present.
Friday night an inspection will be
held at Mills OF the Mills Troop and
during the coming week II Is expected
hat the remaining troops OF the Cas-
per council viii be Inspected at their
different quarters.
