Final agreement among the allied

he failed with Bonar Law, and that
Britain will sign the joint reply.
Conversations were started today
among diplomats at Rome. Paris.

indications of progress which may re-
suit in the forthcoming allied note
being ready by Wednesday.
Premier Poincare today notified
Frances allies that the joint reply
should be a nero notification to Ger

He is willing. ~ Britain will Join

a new schedule of payments. But

| France and Belgium must reap the
reward of their Ruhr venture. They
cannot afford to leave the nowly In
vaded areas without being paid.
The British cabinet is believed to
be inclined to approve Poincare's sug-
gestion that the next note be n Joint
one. Strongest dissatisfaction was ex'
pressed here the last time. when
France and Belgium started their
note without consulting Britain and
Italy.

mand that the Cuno government AN

pected of being automobile thieves re.
ceived a satisfactory climax Friday
night when members OF the police
force by trailing the suspects found
the stolen car of Pete wray's in their
possession even before Mr.. wray
himself had notified headquarters.
Mr.. wray's car was parked at the
Rodeo grounds Friday night and was
taken from its parking place pre-.
sumably by the persons who are
under arrest. 1t was driven into Cas-.
per and was concealed near the
Biederman Coal company's office on
East C street while the new owners
went back to the Hennins hotel to
get their baggage.
When they returned to the car
they were arrested. Those who made
up the party included a man by the
name of Mccarthy. Art Braish. Mr..
and Mrs. b. z. Brahm. Braish has
been in the hands OF the law twice

OF
d
FOLK HERE

The exodus of the undesirables
is taking place, and the males and
females that have inhabited Cas-
per's underworld are seeking other
quarters, greater fields for their
~eiideavors and a free place in which
to move around in without being
on the constant lookout for the
law.
With the arrest during the past
fortnight of many men and wo-
lei of doubtful social status and
even more doubtful occupation by
the police department of Casper.
there have been many requests by
those arrested for invitations out
Of the city. They have declared
themselves willing in some cases
to take the box a line. In others
they have impatiently awaited a
one-way ticket which might be
handed them by charitable friends.
Chief OF Police Nisbet does not
say that Casper is being cleaned
up" He does not even declare that
a grand reformation is taking
place. Nor Is there any particular
reason for the reformers to throw
their hats into the air and shout
hallelujah. Yet 1t is a fact that
a number of women who have been
plying doubtful tradeu and many
men who have been living by
money that comes from an invis-
ible source have gone on a sight
seing tour to other places than
Casper.

AS POSTMASTER NOMINEE

AT a meeting of the republican
county central committee held last
Saturday J. w. Johnson received the
endorsement of the county central
committee for the position of post
master, to succeed George Likes,
democratic encumbent, whose term
expires in June.
The election or endorsement came
about after considerable jockeying
on the port of the applicants and the
county central committee 1t being
a close question the selection was
passed up to the entire committee,
even absent members being given a
vote.
Aside from Johnson, Capt Clarke,
L. c. Weaver and Charles Way were
pronounced candidates and each has
set forth his particular qualifica-
tions.
j. w. johnson, at present county
commissioner, is one of the strong
men of his party and his recommen-
dation through the committee to Sen.
ator Oddie, who has the naming of
the applicant should land the bacon,
if there is anything in county central
committee work. His selection Is un
doubtedly popular or the vote would
not have been so cast. At present
from a democratic slant, II looks like
johnson for the position.
