c. O.P. FIGHT SHY
Of INSURGENTS
House Leaders to Defer Or
ganizing Plans Rather Than
Stir Up Trouble Now.
BY the Associated Press.

by tHe Associated fTesS
Republican leaders are showing q
disposition TO move slowly in dealing
with insurgent Republicans in the or
ganization of the new House, with
their program for speedy action on the
taX-reduCtion bill a primary conS:dera-
ton in the matter.
A plan has been tentatively adj
VanCed 10 postpone organization of
most of the House committees entire
ly until the tax bill is disposed Of,
probably just before the Christmas
recess. Representative Longworth of
Ohio, designated by the Republicans
for Speaker of the new House and
party floor leader at the last session,
faVorS the plan as one to prevent de
lay and interference with the tax
measure.
Would Defer Question.
Such a course obviously also would
defer the question of how far the Re
publican organization will carry out
the policy decided on in caucus last
Spring of Withholding important COM
mittee assignments from members of
the party who supported the preSi-
Dental candidacy of Robert NJ. La
Toilette. With some leaders doubt
full as To how far this policy should
be pursued. the delay will give op-
portunity to judge the intentions of
some of those listed as insurgents by
their votes not only on the tax bill,
but also on organization of the House.
There has been no definite indica
ton so far of what path the inSur-
gents will follow at the coming SeS-
sion. Last session they put for
ward their own candidate for Speak
er and voted as a unit on the rev
enue bill.
Mr.. Longworth has specified half a
dozen OF the more important commit
tees besides the ways and means com
nlittee, already selected and from
which Representative Frear of Wis
consin was dropped, from which he
believes Republicans who supported
Mr.. La Toilette should be removed

FIVE DAY CHAUTAUQUA STARTS JULY TWELFTH
FINEST PROGRAM EVER BROUGHT TO CODY

Cody's five-day chautauqua will
start on July II, and continue until
July 16, giving nine entertainments
afternoon and evening. The pro-
gram which is being brought to
Cody this year is one of the finest
yet to be booked, and every indi-
cation is hat the ticket sales will
go i've in good shape. To bring
a chautauqua to Cody always means
that a group of local business men
must sign the guarantee, and al
though a very good contract was
secured for this series of entertain
ments, it will be necessary to push
the ticket sales energeticly if the
show is to be a financial success.
The full program comprises nine
entertainments, for which season
tickets may be purchased at $2.5O
each.
On Sunday, July IL. will be pre-
scented the opening number, 1.-THE
Gorilla" a thrilling mystery drama.
This show alone will be worth half
the price of the season ticket. Mon

badours will entertain with a full
program. and in the evening will
again appear with many musical
novelties, followed by G.. Whitfield

DAVE JONES ACQUITTED
CHARGE ILLEGAL HUNTING
Prosecution Failed to Convince Jury
that any Wilful OF Malicious
Violation of Game Laws
Was Committed

Dave Jones, prominent business
man of Cody, was given a verdict
of mot guilty" by a jury of six
men Friday after the prosecuting
attorney. j. E. McElvain. had zeal
ously worked for a conviction on
the count of killing a predatory
animal within the limits of the
United States Forest reserve. The
law under which Mr.. Jones was
prosecuted was one which has been
in effect for tour years. and which
there has been no attempt hereto
fore to enforce by any of the Off
Gals of the game department. 1t
is one which makes it unlawful to
kill a predatory animal on the for
est reserve without a special per-
NIT from the state game department.
Mr.. Jones had admitted the killing
of two bear. a black and a brown,
but having a license issued by the
state for hunting and fishing, and
on which states plainly mo license
necessary to hunt bear at any seaso
of the year. he naturally was
of the opinion hat he was fully
qualified to hunt in a legal manner.
The case consumed about three
hours and a half of time, and was
heard in Justice of Peace M~arston's
court. The" jury was composed of
Louis Burmaster, Glen Newton, Jas.

If the colonizing of the wildwood

the Interior Hubert Work, on Fri
day evening. when he addressed the
business men of Cody at a banquet
given in favor of his party in the
basement of the Methodist church.
Secretary work stated that a great
deal of material was being secured
in the reclamation department, and
it would be necessary to satisfy this
branch of the government that new
farms could be developed and prac-
tically ~tenanted. and they would
go forward with other divisions of
the Shoshone project.
Both Secretary Work and Com
missioner DR.. Elwood Mead made
talks regarding matters of reclama-
ton in this important branch of the
government. 1t was stated that dur
ing the last few years conditions
have been unfavorable on many of
the government reclamation projects.

been many contributing factors to
this Sickness. some of which prob
ably have been due to the policies
of the department, and many due

They pleaded guilty before Attorney

The young men entered the Jones

evening and got away with about
$3.50 worth of merchandise, in

them against accepting checks
from strangers. There is al
ways considerable loss at eel

were forgeries, and the money
was paid out and the men
