DIRECTORY TO
BE COMPLETED

The last directory of the city OF
RAwlins was prepared by q private
Individual about 1918, 1T which time
the population of the city was esti-
mated at 400 although the direct
DRY ~ published did not prove this
- not nearly that number Of names
were in the book. Since that time
the directory has become entirely OBJ
solete. In TACT It is very rarely that
me sees . copy Of this old directory.
About 1920 another attempt was
made to get out a directory, but for
some reason this work wal never
completed.
Rawlins has been growing steadily
since that time until now the popu-
lation IL estimated to be in the neigh
borhood Of 1000. This Is only a
guess but will have to be verified
later. Parco has been built up COM
pletely since that time and there are
probably about $50 people in that
town at present. New additions have
been laid out in Rawlins, new
streets have been built, many new
residences are completed and occu-
pied and the Information in the old
directory is useful only as a his
torical item.
One of the greatest needs Of this
city is a new, up-to-date directory.
This will be of immediate value to
every business man and to- every Wis
itor and travelling man coming to
Rawlins.
A movement has been started, and
Is being handled by Mr.. F. I. Glenn
to furnish such a directory to the
business interests Of this commun-
ity. The directory will be printed
locally. The main points to be in
cluded in it are as follows:
A list Of all residents of Rawlins
and Of Parco with the correct ad-
dress OF each; name of wife; names
of each child sixteen years Of age or
over, and number OF children under
sixteen, whether owner or renter OF
property; assessed valuation Of this
property in code; occupation of head
Of household and all children who
are working, together with the pres
ent employer where possible. In ad-
dftion to this the directory will con-
tain . Classified Business Directory
Of Rawlins and Parco.
Tho work Of soliciting and secur-
ing this information has been under
way for about two months and the
publishers and compilers of this d.
rectory expect to complete the 10
curing Of information, line up the in
formation in shape dor the publica-
ton. and get same off the press
about Jan. /. 1924.
Tho matter Of publthing this d.
rectory was submitted to the direc-
tors Of the Carbon County Credit
Rating Exchange was met with theiI
approval and has been recommended
to the business men Of Rawlins and
Parco ~ deserving enthusiastic sup
port.

WON'T LET ROXlE 6IVE
NAMES OF FIVE MEN
IN $33,OOO,OOO DEAL

WASHINGTON, March ~
The Senate Daugherty Committee
today refused to let Rozie Stinson
name the Eve men she said yester-
day made $50, 900, 900 in Sinclair
oil deal.
Daugherty's counsel intimated
that "The Name of President of
the United States was among
them" and in hot clash with Sem
ator Wheeler, demanded the right
to 60 into the matter.
Wheeler was adamant and tho
it at one stage looked as tho he and
Former Senator Chamberlain might
come to blows, Daugherty's lawyers
were not permitted to open the
question which the committee itself
had decided not to 60 into because
Daugherty was not involved.
Her cross examination was re-
latively brief and unimportant and
her story was not shaken by Paul
Howland's questioning.
The committee, before putting
her on the stand, asked President
Coolidge to order Daugherty to
turn over files relating to gun-run-
ming to Mexico during the cantu
revolution in 1921, which Daugh-
erty is withholding on the ground
of public policy and after Miss.
Stinson finished, questioned De-
psrtment of Justice file clerk to
learn why he had not furnished
daily reports as directed by the
committee, on data required in the
inquiry.
Daugherty, meanwhile, cancelled
proposed trip TO Florida and gave
out word that he would have an

REFUSED
RESIGNATION OF
FRENCH PREMIER
Poincare to Form New
Cabinet
Especial to The Daily worker

PARIS, March 27.-J. p Morgan,
from his yacht on the Mediterranean
Sea turned down his thumbs on the
resignation of Raymond Poincare
and demanded that his favorite French
lackey get back on the job in double
quick time else the French would be
given a first class exhibition in watch
ing how fast franc would sink.
Poincare obeyed his master.
This was the Interpretation placed
on the sudden change of attitude on
the part. Of Poincare whose "irrevoc-
able resignation was withdrawn
shortly after Morgan's radio message
reached Paris.
France is tightly in the grip of the
Morgan bankers group and the big
industrialists, and a small matter
like an unfavorable vote win not be
allowed to spoil their business. For
merly French governments took a de-
feat seriously but it is no secret that
the big industrialist only tolerate the
parliament impatiently, and for two
cents they would establish Dictator
ship with Poincare as Mussolini and
rid themselves of the nuisance Of
flirting with parliamentary major
tiles.
Poincare consulted with men who
will be ministers in his reconstructed
government and visited Millerand late
this afternoon, informing the presi-
dent that he would resume the office
Of premier.
Poincare, after resigning yesterday
following his governments defeat II
the chamber on a vote on pensions
found president Millerand strongly
opposed to his resignation. The pre-
mier agreed to consider retaining Of
flee and reforming his cabinet.
Franc Still Holds.
The franc continued strong despits
the government crisis, opening a
1874 to the dollar.
| Resolutions of confidence, urging
Poincare to. withdraw his resignation
were presented to the premier during
the day.
Minister De la Croix, emerging
from the foreign Office, said: "Tht
crisis is virtually ended"
Poincare's resignation resulted from
defeat Of government measure II
the chamber Of deputies by margin
Of seven votes. The premier was MOI
present, but Count de Lesteyrie
finance minister, made his motion re
garding widows pensions a question
Of confidence and was defeated, 27l
to 264, more than 200 deputies voting
by proxy.
1t is expected that Count de Les
teyrie will be among the missing
when the new cabinet is announced.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.--
Indictment Of Nal Daugherty,
brother Of the attorney general,
for contempt because of failure
to produce records before the
Daugherty investigating COM
mittee was sought in a motion
today by Senator Wheeler,
chief prosecutor.
President Coolidge today
was requested formally to
force Attorney General Daugh-
erty to turn over to the senate
committee investigating Daugh-
erty the Department of Justice
files on Mexican gun-running
in 1921.
This action was unanimously voted
today in an executive session.
A fiat refusal by Daugherty to fur
nish the documents on the ground
that it was 1inimical to the public
interest" caused the committee to
Ego over his head to the president.

AL Jennings, ex-bandit and poll
tician, charged before the senate oil
committee that the late Jake Harmon

Harding in exchange for the secre-
taryship Of the interior.
Jennings also charged that $780,
600 was paid to the late Bots PEN
rose, Republican senator from Penn
sylvania, in the same IDEAL"
Involved with Hamon, Jennings
said he believed, were certain big oil
men from Oklahoma, including Harry
F. Sinclair.
Jennings said he got his informa-
ton from Hamon himself. He and
Hamon were intimate friends.
Hamon told him long before the
convention that Harding was to be
nominated and that he (Hamon)
would be the biggest man in the
United states"
The deal was finally concluded in

fore Harding was nominated, Jen-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. n.
MANY new dashes of color were

'DENNIE' INSULTS
PETER SISSMAN,
STRIKE LAWYER
Bosses Judge Acts Like
Spoilt Baby.

Disgracing the courtroom yester-
day afternoon, Judge Sullivan in
dulged in a TRADE of abuse against
Defense Attorney Peter Sissman.
"Dennie's" frothing occurred when
Sissman presented $500 in Liberty
bonds each for the release of Jennie
Lieberman and Lena Morvitz who
had just been brought in by deputy
sheriffs on attachments in contempt
of court proceedings. Sullivan first
began snarling that the papers ac-
companying the bonds were not prop
erly drawn and that the girls could
not be released. .lSissman and Asso-
ciate Counsel William Guinea insist
ed that the bonds were all right.
LET Them Stay In Jail"
Sullivan then exclaimed that it was
matter of indifference to him
whether the girls spent the night in
the cell or were released on bonds.
Then the judge began abusing Siss-
man, saying that when the court had
ruled in an earlier case that the
girls could not be released on their
own recognizance that he had acted
like baby and had not gone on with
the case.
Sissman's refusal to recognize the
courts ruling by acting in the former
case had been for the sake of pro-
tecting the record so that an appeal
could be taken to a higher court
later. Had he accepted Sullivan's
ruling he would have been handi-
capped afterwards in appealing I'M
just convictions.
Sullivan after more abuse said that
he didn't want Sissman to appear in
the case if he did not behave to suit
him (''Dennie".)
'Dennie" Still Not Interested.
Continuing to assert that he had
no interest in whether the girls
stayed in Jail or not he was inter
rupted by Defense Counsel Guinea
who said that IL was a matter of in.
terest to him and that he insisted the
ggirls be released.
At this moment Freda Reicher was
brought in on another attachment
case and the judge showed his anger
at having to do some more work that
afternoon.
However, after more yapping by
His Honor the girls were released.
More cases are coming up today.

MaCDONALD'S
GOVERNMENT
FACES CRISIS
PRIV Council Called To Deal
With Strikers
tsp.eIal . The paiIy wOrkerl

LONDON, March 27.-The
Macdonald government faces
today the most serious crisis
which has confronted it since
it took Office and which is re-
hected in the calling of the
privy council to consider pass
ing a national emergency act
virtually declaring state of
siege thruout Great Britain.
The strike of tramway work
ers and bus drivers and the
entry of the subway employees
into the struggle is only par
tally responsible for govern
ment concern. The miners
strike looms in the near future
and the shipyard employers
have answered the demands of
the workers with a threat of a
lockout.
Say d. o. r. A. Decided On.
Some newspapers here contend
that the Macdonald government has
already decided to invoke the emer-
goncy powers act of 1920 aud that
the privy council meeting is merely
for obtaining the formal consent Of
the king. King George Is at Knows
ley for the Grand NationAI steepe-
chase and the privy council will
meet there to save him the incon-
veniece Of coming to London.
The emergency powers act is
practically the same as the infam-
Gus defense Of the realm act called
DORA for short and which aroused
the bitter opposition of the British
workers. 1t allows the government
to mobilize the army and navy per-
sonnet for the purpose Of carrying
on public services, to commander
men and materials and exercise COM
plete control over the lives of the
people.
The last time the act was used
was in the coal strike Of 1920.
Unionists Opposed.
That any attempt to utilize the
emergency act in the present situa-
ton will. bring unalterable opposition
to the Macdonald government from
all sections of the trade union move
ment is conceded even by govern
ment supporters.
The second reading Of the London
traffic bill, which has divided the
government forces, comes up in the
house of commons today. Many lib
erals have refused their support of
this measure as have almost all of
the trade union element of the la
borites, and the government is de-
pending, strangely enough, upon
tory votes to save the measure. Even
some Of the tories are doubtful
concerning the drastic provisions Of
the measure.

WASHINGTON, Mar. a.
Senator LaFollette's program
for an independent campaign
completely apart from any
party whatsoever-is matured
and has been put under way on
a national scale. Organization
has now progressed in some
states as far as township and
city precincts.
This information, coming
from a source close to the Wis
consin senator, bears out earlier
forecasts of LaFollette's in
tended course.
In addition to these, they claim
that the disturbed conditions Of this
unparalleled political year, they have
chance to edge in on Illinois, Ohio
and even Pennsylvania.
Already, the LaFollette workers
have envisioned enough support for
him to prevent any one else obtain
ing the required majority in the cleo
toral college. That would throw the
election into the house, where the
vote is by states and a majority is
required The situation there is very
close and the group of states where
LaFollette is strongest would hold the
balance of power.

the matter go to the senate where
the vote is by individual senator's
