WASHINGTON, March REPS
resentatives Langley, Of Kentucky;
and Ziplman, of Maryland, both
Republicans, denied today that hau
ever improperly exercised their Of
ficial influence and received
money for doing so.
The denials followed publication
of the names Of the two congress
men in connection with recent
charges made BY q Chicago grand
jury that two members Of Congress
had so misused their offices.
Both congressman said that they
had heard brumors that they were
implicated in the charges and that
they had discussed the matter with
newspaper men, but both declared
they were involved in the case III
any manner
Immediate disclosure of the
names of the two representatives
charged in a Chicago grand jury's
report with accepting bride was de-
manded Thursday by the House.
A resolution directing the Attor.
ney General to transmit the names
to the House YVES adopted IMAM
imously after Representative Long
worth, the Depublican leader, had
announced the accused men would
have an opportunity to defend them
selves ON the floor.
Mr.. Longworth said he had been
informed the evidence against the
two House members had been pre-
sented to the Chicago grand jury
by crooks and criminals" and came
up incidentally during the invests
cation of alleged Veterans Bureau
frauds.
The Republican leader disclosed
that he had discussed the situation
with acting Attorney General sey-
mour and John w. H. Grim, special
Government counsel in charge of
the Chicago grand jury's inquiry,
and had gained the impression that
no action could be expected by q
grand jury here with regard to tie
charges within a month.
Publication Of the grand jurys
report referring to two House mem
bers without naming them, in the
opinion of Mr.. Longworth, put the
entire membership of the House uu-
der suspicion and made prompt ae-
ton to establish the identity or the
accused imperative.
This view was shared by others,
among them Representative Garrett
the Democratic leader, started the
move to have the names disclosed.
The resolution adopted Thursday
was a modification adoptedetaoins
proposal offered Tuesday for an n
vestigation to determine not only
the identity of the House members
involved but the basis of the charges
again them.
Report by the rules commits
tee without a dissenting vote after
two-hour session, the resolution
was brought up within a half hour
by Chairman nell. After forty
minutes discussion, 1t was adopted
after a phrase which called for
transmission of the names, ''if not
incompatible with public intere

ton of Representative steagait

"Some Splash

Angered at senator's demands
for his resignation, Attorney GEN
eral Daugherty says certain sera-

cause "some splash"
Inasmuch as the things Daughcr-

off the newspapers front pagv $,

coming.
Anyway, the Senate has "called"
Daugherty, by voting for full in

McLean's kilograms

The oil Investigators latest dis
covery is batch of kilograms
which friends and agents sent TO
E. B. Mclean, the newspaper own
err, at Palm Beach, keeping him
posted on oil developments in
Washington.
McLean's name has figured much
in the oil cases. Seemingly he
wanted to know if he'd be called
as witness.
The queer thing is that the tel2-
grams were written in a Justice De-
partment cipher. Also they indi-
cate that William J. Burns, the de-
partment's secret service chief, was
one of McLean's informants.
Burns denies this; says, too, the
cipher was old--no longer used.
And it's asserted Mclean, as a ''dcl-
lar a year man, was a Justice De-
partment agent himself.
All the same, the whole thing
hints that somebody close to the de.
partment was helping those the in
vestigators were investigating.
And a lot Of McLean's messages
were sent to him, over his private
leased wire, by E. W. Smithers,
who's also telegrapher at the
White House. However, it's corn
mon for one telegraph operator to
hold down two or more jobs.

FRANCE AND GERMANY

Premier Poincare of France,
whose policy has blocked every eff

ness shape, is so weak politically
now that maybe he won't be able to
veto General Dawes plan. Pom
care has just won a test vote in the
Paris Chamber of Deputies, but it's
general expected he'll lose the
coming national election. Some Of
the papers even talk of a dictator
ship under President Millerand, to

Carnival Shows Open t
in Cody on Tuesday

The vacant lot opposite the Tenn
pie Theatre took on the aspect of
the great white way on Tuesday
night of this week when the Ander-
son-Srader Shows, playing here I'M
der the auspices of the American Le-
gion, staged their opening night.
The Anderson-Srader outfit appears
to be a good, clean show, putting on
the usual side shows, games of chance
and the merry-go-round, ferris wheel
and sea plane ride which are not only
the delight of the kids but the ma
jority of the grown folks as well.
This same carnival is booked to
appear at the Northwestern Wyom-
ing Fair to be held at Powell on Au-
gust 26th, 9th and 2Sth.

hours Of effort they have put forth
IN their fight for education along mu-
seal lines have not been spent in
vain.

Park County Finishes
Squirrel Campaign

tFrom 1.-THE Prairie Dog" a month
ly bulletin of the Bureau Of Biologi-
cal Survey Rodent Control Division)
County Agent Allen is certainly to
be complimented on his wonderful
squirrel poisoning work this spring.
Inc district leader spent a few days
with him in checking over the. sea-
sons work, and we we're able to find
but very few live squirrels and pra-
RE dogs on the areas which had been
poisoned.
The district included some 114,000
acres of land lying in a triangle be
tween Wood River, Greybull River
and the Wind River Mountains. 1t
vas badly infested with both prairie
dogs and ground squirrels, and re-
quired a great deal of labor in scat
tering the poison on the rough hill
sides. Through the cooperation OF
practically every landowner, howev-
er, the ground was thoroughly poi
soned. Mr.. Eugene Phelps, a large
land owner, let by contract seventeen
sections of his range land to be poi
soned, and was well pleased with the
investment.
Considering the difficulty of poi
soning and the great area covered,
we feel that this district probably sc
cured the best results of any in the
state this year. \

Boys Band Plays in
Cody Monday Night

Band concerts were given or Sheri-
dan Avenue and at the Cody camp
ground on Monday evening by a boys
band from Ray, North Dakota. There
were twenty-seven pieces in the band
and with the exception of the leader,
none were over 16 years in age, some
being only eight. They were real
musicians and the many who gather
ed to hear them were well pleased
with the concerts, !,
This group of boys had just fin
ished a trip through the Yellowstone
Park and were passing through Cody
on their way back to North Dakota.
They had paid all their expenses with
proceeds of concerts they had given
along the way. Ray is a town of 300
population and is to be congratulated
turning out a band of this class.

Auto Tire Thieves
Picked Up by Sheriff

A couple of men who gave their
nam, S as Albert Zimmerman and
Louis B. Beretarmitz were picked up
Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff
W. H. Loomis for stealing a tire
from a car in the Park Garage.
They we're taken before Judge
Marston who assessed a fine of ten
dollars each upon them. The fine
wa promptly paid and the prisoners

Carl Olson vas arrested early in
the week for stealing a tarpaulin
from one of the engineers of the
Taggart Construction Co., working
in the canyon. He was arranged in
Justice Marston's court and relieved
of thirty-five dollars and court costs.
A few cases like these above should
convince sticky fingered persons that
Cody and the vicinity is a poor place

No ceremonies during the present
campaign have been more interest
ing that the notification of President
Coolidge of his nomination at Mem
orial Continental Hall, Daughters of
the American Revolution, in Wash
ngtn, d. c., August ID, 1924. Hon
.orable Frank w. Mondell of Wyom-
ing, who was the Paramount Chair
man of the Republican National Con-
vention at Cleveland, was the spokes-
man for the Republican Party. His
notification address was very brief,
but decidedly to the point. He con-
graduated President Coolidge upon
the fact that the Cleveland conven-
ton was simply q ratification of the
wishes Of the rank and file of the
Republican Party of the Nation. He
said the choice thus made by the peo-
pie was consummated with enthusi-
asm in a Convention which will long
be remembered for the splendid char
acter of its membership, the fine spir-
it Of its patriotic purpose, and the
most pleasing atmosphere of or
diality that marked its deliberations.
He said the platform adopted at
Cleveland declares the Party firth
and outlines the Party purpose, and
that Republicans anticipate with
pleasure and confidence the Presi-
dents Interpretation of that faith as
applied to present problems and con

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE NOTIFIED OF NOMINATION

ditions. He said the confidence of
the American people in the President
rests upon a lively interest in and
sympathetic attitude toward every
question and problem of the day and
a desire to be helpful in securing
permanent and satisfactory settle
ment thereof, but most of all it is
based upon the knowledge that in
all things there is a single purpose
of serving the public interest, I'M
mindful of the effect upon personal
political fortune.
The Presidents acceptance of the
nomination was couched in simple,
direct, and f~orceful language. 1t
compares f~avorably with any like ad-
dress in American history. 1t covers
in some detail all the great problems
in which the people are now inter
ested, and in the application of logic
and common sense reaches bedrock.
First and foremost the President
is a protectionist and makes this
plain. While his address was written
before Mr.. Davis accepted the can
didacy of the Democratic Party, it
is direct in its answer to the doctrines
of free trade expounded by the latter.
In this important matter lies Wy
oming's chief interest. Practically all
of the industries of Wyoming re af-
fected to u greater or less degree by
the policy OF protection.
