These l include the blue suits worn on the streets, the fatigue uniforms" of khaki shirts and trousers for the firehouses, and the rubber uniforms for fire fighting.

 "There's many a cat been skinned around here, but this is one of the few that's right up in the open to be skinned"
 After further discussion had failed to produce an agreement 1t was voted to adjourn for 10 min- utes.

Collectors Swamped by
 New and Varied Issues

Lclpsic, Jan. 29.-There are now tS,oo0 different varieties of postage stamps eXtant in tho world, of which 25,000 are credited to Europe and 10000 to the other continents according to the publishers of one of the best known stamp cataIogs of Germany. Within tho past two years 4,QQo new stamps were issued by the various governments of the world.
 This enormous increase ilf postage stamp production has made colIec- tors despair Of ever obtaining any, thing like q complete collection of existing stamps, and the special col lection has given place 10 the gen eral collection.
 Before the imitation period one saw many rare old American stamps in German dealers windows. These have now disappeared almost entire ly for American dealers and stamp collecting visitors bought them when the German mark was cheap.

HAS HARN TIME.
 ID RE ARRESTED
Pal of O'BaniOn Returns to Chicago to Face Trial

Chicago. Jan. 2e.---Louis Alterie, pal of Dion o'Banion. slain Chicago gunman and gangster. came back to Chicago from Colorado yesterday and spent busy day rushing from one court to another to answer charges of beer, running, assault to kin and robbery.
 Alterie appeared as the office of Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins about noon and waited for some body to arrest him. No one did so he went to- the office of Federal Judge Adam c. Cliffe, to answer the beer running charge. While there a writ directed against Chief Collins for holding Alterie was issued in the circuit court by Judge Emanuel El- Ter. Collins did not have Alterie in custody, so the writ was dismissed.
 By the time the writ was dismiss ed the federal hearing was ended after two armed mon who had ap- peared with Alterie were arrested and the gangster was then arrested by the police in conectionAw within the shooting of John Phillips, a gang ster, in cafe year ago.
 In this case Arteries bonds were set at $25,000 and in the federal court his bonds were fixed at s7,50O and trial set for February IT. Then all hands adjourned to another court where Alterie again gained his freedom after $50,O00 worth of real estate was scheduled for his release
 Three deputy sherlffs escorted him from this courtroom after he said he feared plot was afoot to assassinate him.
 In the federal court Alterie is charged with being the accessory of Johnny Torrio, the dying crime czar shot five times by four assailants last Saturday. Alterie was in Cobra do when his case was called last week, and despite his attorneys plea that he was ill, he was given until today to get well and reach Chicago.
 Torrio still fought desperately for his life in hospital while the police continued their relentless war on crime which started with the shoot ing of the gang leader.

understand the object of the League.
In order to place the position of the
League correctly before the peolpe, its
president, Will H. Dig of Chicago
publihser "Outdoor America" 536
Lake Shore Drive. has issued a state
ment to the press, a part of which
follows:
Our immediate interest lies in OBJ
tanning 5000 acres of hay land ad-
joining the present elk refuge of 2700
acres maintained by the United States
Biological Survey near the town of
Jackson. The purpose of the acqui-
sition of this land is to provide more
range and more hay for the elk. Title
of the land will be held by the Walton
League or its assigns and will not be
withdrawn form tax lists.
1t is the opinion of the League
however, hal the entire Jackson's
Hole area should be turned over to
recreational purposes.
In view of the fact that this is per-
hapS the greatest scenic, ~recreational
and wild life region in the United
States, and that it is admittedly not
a success as a grazing or farming
area, I think there should be no graz
ing or farming in Jackson's Hole.
do not mean that there should be
any "freeze out" of the settlers. They
must be adequately paid for their
land and holding. Since the settlers
in the Hole are far from prosperous
and are exceedingly anxious to sell
out, any o along the above lines
will be welcome to them. Also any
such move would be to the financial
benefit of all Wyoming because of the
resultant tourist influx.
The Hole was made only for wild
things-as a great wild life area, l
think it should be set aside and pre-
served forever as a great recreational
center. l do not mean that hunting
