ately taken into the home with the
result that the home has never less
than fifty children to care for. The
demands for admission have been so
great that the committee some two
years ago purchased the county poor
farm adjoining the home. But the
money has not been Forthcoming to
remodel the building and equip it, in
asmuch as the home was laboring I'M
der some $4,000 of debts. 1t has
been determined now to put on a
drive to eliminate the indebtedness
and to put the poor farm in shape to
house fifty boys, thereby reserving
the main building for the are of fifty
girls. The appeal is to be made to
the people of the state in the near fu-
ture on the ground that the home
cares for orphans, irrespective of race
or creed and is managed by a board of
directors made up without reference
to church affiliations. This is the
first public call for funds made for
this charity, although it was the first
of its kind to be organized and whose
operating costs are undoubtedly the
heaviest. The money which will be
solicited is not to provide for accu-
mulated debts nor for current ex-
penses, but only to care for the in
dehtedneSS IN improyements to the
fabric and for construction of the
buildings which are desperately need
ed to provide for an increased num-
Der of children"
In his plans for the coming drive,
Bishop Thomas appealed to William
r. Coe of New York City, asking him
if he would be willing to give one

INCREASE IN WYOMING TAXES FORCES
COE TO CHANGE RESIDENCE TO new YORK
Multi-Millionaire Announces That He Must With
draw From Activities in This State Due to
Inheritance Taxation

Laramie, Wyo.-Announcing that
William r. Coe, of New York, has
agreed to contribute $4,000 to q
fund for the Cathedral Home fol
Children here, provided people of Wy
oming subscribe 25,000-to the fund,
Bishop N. S. Thomas, of the Episco-
pal diocese of Wyoming, Friday made
public a letter from Mr.. Coe in which
the latter reveals that he has relin.
pushed his Wyoming citizenship and
become a citizen of New York, be-
cause of what he regards as the ex-
cessive inheritance tax imposed by
the last Wyoming Legislature.
Mr.. Coe, a son-in-law of the late
H. H. Rodgers, owns in Park county
one of the finest stock ranches in the
West. He and Mrs. Coe have been
very large contributors to Wyoming
charities, one of their notable philan-
thropies being a gift of 100000 to the
Memorial hospital at Cheyenne at a
time when, had it not been for this
contribution, the plans for that spien-
did institution would necessarily have
been greatly modified because of lack
of essential finances. Some estimates
of the Coe fortune place it as high as
a quarter of a billion dollars.
Bishop Thomas, in announcing the
plans for a "drive" for the Cathedral
Home for Children and making public
Mr.. Goes offer to duplicate, dollar for
dollar, up to $4,000, contributions
made by Wyoming citizens, said:
"The Cathedral Home for Children
was the first institution in the state
of Wyoming for the care of depend
ent children. Its operation requires
heavy expense, as more than fifty
children are resident in the home con-

FOURTH VICTIM OF
POISON OLIVES DIES
IN BILLINGS HOSPITAL
THOMAS DE RICHARDSON
PASSES AWAY SATURDAY
MORNING

Thomas De Richardson, of German
town, Pa, died at Billings last Satur-
day morning, making the fourth death
to result from the eating of ripe
olives served at a tea given by Mrs.
Paul S. Ache at her cottage at AL
from this cause were Mrs. Paul S.
Ache, her son Paul, Jr, and Thomas
Gillespie.
Marked improvement is noted in
the condition of Tolbert De Richard
son, Jr., who was also a guest at the
tea at which the olives were served.
He was rushed to Billings as soon as
symptoms of the poisoning were dis
covered and was given a prophylactic
by DIR. A. ]. Movius, who had
charge of the cases. Miss Sarah De
Richardson was also inoculated with
the serum.
In Denver where the olives were
purchased, city and state health and
pure food authorities have been per
forming experiments on guinea pigs
with ripe olives from several different
shipments. This is being done to de-
termine whether the deaths were
caused by the olives alone or whether
it was something eaten with them that
formulated the poisons.
Ripe imported olives have been re-
moved from stock in some of the Den
yer stores and warnings have been
sent out to customers to refrain from
eating any olives that they may have
already purchased.
Lewis Chernoff, Federal food oper-
alive, arrived in Cody last Friday to
investigate the deaths of Mrs. Ache,
her son and the other two unfortun-
ate young men. Up to date nothing
has been given out regarding the find
ings of his investigations.

TOURIST ROAD HOG
CROWDS POWELL CAR
OFF PARK HIGHWAY
AUTO is BADLY DAMAGED
AND OCCUPANTS D
BRUISED

A Ford al belonging to Jimmie
Knights of Powell, was badly dam
aged Sunday night on the Park road,
this side of the d. f. HOLSTER place
when hit by a heavy Packard and
knocked off the grading.
Young Knights and a companion Ed
Edley, were returning to their home
at Powell from a fishing trip, when
they met the Packard, driven by a
tourist from Pennsylvania. The man
driving the heavy a claimed that he
hit a rock and skidded into the Pow
ell car a%ccidently. A Ia working on
the road contradicts this statement
and says that the driver made no eff
fort to pull out for the boys and took
more than his share of the highway.
While the stranger stopped to see
whether the boys were injured or not,
he refused to make any settlement
for the damage to the car. Through
efforts of Sheriff Loomis he was de-
tanned at the Park entrance and given
his choice of settling at Knights fig
ures, or coming back to Cody and
awaiting trial. He decided to settle
up and was let go.
Outside of a few scratches and
bruises the Powell boys were unin-
jured.

Now, Gentle Reader, let u consid-
er the case of Dave Jones, u local
haberdasher, who had the bad taste
to air his petty grievance against the
Stampede in the last issue of the
Herald.
Mr.. Jones feels himself unfairly
treated because no mention was made
of the fact on the program that the
gift of the Stetson hat which vas CIV
en- MS a prize in the bucking contest
was due to his efforts. Credit
where credit is due says the open
ing sentence of the article@a senti-
ment with which we agree thorough
ly.
1t was for this reason that credit
was given to Col. ]. II. Cummings,
president of the John B. Stetson Hat
Co., Of Philadelphia, who was at the
Stampede with the Whitney party,
and whose sales department took the
hat from stock and sent it to Cody
for the purpose above stated.
The hat did not cost Mr.. Joens n
dollar. 1t did not cost him even a
postage stamp and stationery. 1t
cost him only the breath to ask for it
of which he has an ample supply,
we take it-from the salesman of the
Stetson Hat Company when that per-
SON was In Cody.
Although Mr.. Jones is not the sole
representative Of the Stetson Hat
Company in Cody, his request gave
him the advantage and privilege of
displaying the hat in his window
where IL attracted considerable at
tention. Yet because the fact was
not mentioned in the limited space on
the program that the hat came
through the efforts of Dave JONES'
Mr.. Jones feels himself injured to the
point of going into print and telling
the public Of his grievance.
Furthermore. he took the president
of tho Stampede to task personally
because his name did not appear on
the program so that he should re-
ceive the value of the hat, which cost
him nothing, back in advertising. Al
this time he declared naively that III
was worth that TO think about IT,"

DAVE JONES, STAMPEDE BOOSTER
WANTS VALUE OF HAT DONATED BY
PHILA. COMPANY BACK IN ADVERTISING
(By Caroline Lockhart)

means by all his chatter is that he
wants something for nothing. In re
turn for a $50 hat which he did not
give, he expected $50 worth of ad-
vertising.
Mr.. Jones has still another griev-
ance against the Stampede which we
would as well consider while we are
about it. He whined to the writer
of this article that he did not con-
slider he had value received for the
SIS he had spent buying space in the
Stampede program because the pro-
grams were sold instead of being Civ
en- away and so fewer were distribut-
ed than If they had been free. He
asserted that if he had known this
was to be the case he would not have
spent a dollar for the purpose.
Out of 60 advertisers, this gener-
Gus, p~ublic-spirited citizen, president
of the Cody Club, etc, who probably
receives more direct benefit from the
Stampede than any n person in
Cody, is the only individual petty
enough to make this criticism, so far
as we know.
Not only is it everywhere custom
AIRY to sell programs, but owing to the
great expense of putting on an affair
of this kind it is necessary to derive
revenue from every Legitimate source
in order to meet obligations.
We admit that we never have had
any Authorizations concerning the
calibre of this necktie vender, or any
doubt ms to the motive which inspires
most of his actions. We confess to n
prejudice against him dating from the
time when, n shameless vandal, with
out sentiment or thought beyond his
personal interests, he commenced to
deface the lovelicst bits Of scenery in
this section with his obnoxious ad-
vcrtisements.
But, on the other hand. we did give
him credit for a considerable amount
of shrewdness and intelligence, too
much in fnct, TO bare 10 the world the
smallness of his nature and the empti-
ness of his pro~testations when he de-
| clares that che 10 n good booster for
the Stampede and stands ready at all
times to do his part IN making II a
success"

Powell Man Killed
By Passenger Train

w. L. Wales, of Powell, while driv-
ing across the railroad track Mt that
place last Saturday, was hit by an
oncoming passenger train and died a
couple of days later.
According to the Powell Tribune
the view of the track is in some way
INSTRUCTED at this point and it is diff
fcult TO see n train coming in either
direction until one is almost upon tho
track.
At a coroner's inquest held Monday
the jury returned a verdict that death
was accidental and that the train crew
had used customary diligence in ap-
preaching the crossing.
There were several witnesses to the
accident.

LIVERED FROM SHERIFF'S
ARRESTED

Johnnie Noonan is again at large,
this time in company with Jack Brud-
er, who was sharing his cell in the
county Jail, being there on the charge
of violating the liquor laws.
According to other prisoners who
witnessed the escape, they sawed
through the bars with a hack saw that
had been struggled in to them in some
way. Upon departing they carried
the hack saw with them, making the
remark that they might need it again
some time.
The escape took place about nine
O'Clock Saturday evening and the pris-
oners were seen to enter a Ford
coupe which seemed to be waiting for
them.
Warren Cox and Bob Wilson have
been arrested, it being supposed from
circumstances surrounding the case
that these boys were instrumental in
the escape. They will be held to Dis
trict Court to stand trial for a much
more serious offense than those COM
mitted by the two whom they are
thought to have liberated. Wilson is
out on bonds.
Wires have been sent out by Sher-
if Loomis to all the surrounding ter
ritory and a close watch is being kept
for the fugitives. 1t is believed that
they will be back in the tolls of the
law again within a short time.

Medical Society So Reports
After Investigation of
Brooklyn 0uacks.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Ex.
haustive investigation into the
practice Of medicine in Brooklyn is
being conducted by the committee
on illegal practices of the Kings
County Medical Society, to substan.
tiate startling facts recently
brought out in a report of DR.. Jo-
seph e. Golding, chairman Of the
committee.
Golding's report says three men
in Brooklyn are using the licenses
of dead or retired physicians to
practice medicine illegally, and
that thirteen men and women who
have never studied medicine in
their lives are practicng medicine
and even surgery.
The investigation Is being under
taken to Substantiate the allegation
that there are 5000 quac6 ply.
sicians in New York State. The re-
ports says the indictment, for the
| most part, Is not against the medi-
cal profession, but against the
State of New York, for laxity in en-
forcement of law.
The statement reads:
"A survey is being made of the
medical profession Of this county.
In reply to 1850 missionaries
sent out, $50 replies have been re-
ceived, complaining of, or re-
questing investigation Of, those who
