Cleaning Up Routine. Business
 Matters This Week

Rapid City. s. D., June 2s R - Taking advantage of breathing spell from visitors, President Cool idge is putting in some good licks this week at cleaning up such rou- tine business as has been forward ed to him from Washington.

RAILROADS ID AID
 DRY ENFORCEMENT
Nine Lines in Philadelphia Dis:
 trict Pledge Their Help

Philadelphia, June 2s R = One of the greatest problems in the en- forcement of prohibition in this section has been solved. federal off, cia1s believe, in the ratification of an agreement by Col. Samuel O. Wynne, dry administrator for the Philadelphia district with nine railroads operating in the territory.
 Under the agreement, the rail- roads have promised to establish a thorough inspection service of all freight cars to prevent illegal li- quor shipments and to provide close cooperation among prohibi- tion agents and railroad employees. In return Col. Wynne has agreed to stop confiscating their cars.
 The understanding. which result ed from a conference in the local prohibition office. was characterized by Wynne as the greatest step to- ward the enforcement of the pro- hibition law that has been made in this district" He said the plan had so impressed Prohibition Commis- sioner James Doran that the latter had ordered copies of the agree ment sent to the other dry admin istrators throughout the country with the suggestion that they at- tempt to duplicate it.

MOVIE STARS MAY NOT
 HAVE SALARIES LOWERED
Actors Today Are Cheered by Vague Rumors About Re.
 scinding of Orders.

Hollywood. Calif., June 2s (UP) The weekly pay envelope of the high-salaried movie stars may not lose it's bulge after all.
 The actors today were cheered by. rumors that producers were considering resembling the order for 10 per cent wage cut to meet the high cost of production.
 At hastily called meeting of the Motion Picturee Producers as- sociation last night, it was learned from reliable sources that members were considerably alarmed at the attitude the stars had taken to- ward the proposed reduction and the feasibility of postponing action was seriously discussed.
 The officials, however. had no an- nouncement' to make at the close of the meeting.
 The protests against the wage re- sduction gained weight when Tom Mix, movie cowboy and one of the highest salaried stars. announced he would not take single dollar reduction.
 Mix was the first of the stars to show open defiance of the order. Threats of appealing to the Actors Equity in New York to organize the film stars were heard.

 AS HERO TO HOME TOWN
Johnny Goodman, After Winning Trans Mississippi Title, h
 ShOwefcd With HonOrs.

Omaha. Neb.. June 2S R-Johnny Goodman, IS year old former caddy and the head" of a family of nine brothers and sisters. has become the Lindbergh of his home town since he took the Mississippi golf title from veteran linksmen at Broadmoor. Colo.
 Johnny came back to Omaha in triumph yesterday to be met by the mayor, James c. Dahlman. a group of city officials and crowd of cheer ing fellow citizens.
 Good luck greeted Johnny in the form of an educational fund-start- ed by Arthur Mullen, attorney, and democratic national committeeman. One of the chief contributors was "Scotty" Evans of St. Louis. who won ;3.40O on Goodman in the pool at Broadmoor.
 The fund will ensure for Goodman an education. His benefactors also pointed out that Johnny would not have to turn professional.
 Johnny's mother is dead and the elder Goodman disappeared several years ago, leaving the son to watch the flock of nine. Goodman became a promising golfer shortly after he began caddying on Omaha links.

calls which brought about the re- lease of the three prisoners on Sat- urday did not come from the minis try of the interior. as claimed by Maurice Pijo, editor in chief of Daudet's paper L'Action Francaise. This fact is likely to make the task of the investigators more difficult than ever.
 M. Pijo's story was that the "Camelots Du Roi," or Kings Henchmen" had telephoned to the director of the prison from the ministry or interior giving orders purporting to be from the minister himself for the release of the men. They were permitted to walk out of the prison forthwith and the country at large has chuckled at the ex- pense of the government ever since.
 M. Daudet, who was serving five months sentence for labelling taxi cab driver in connection with the death of his son several years ago is in hiding near Paris, newspapers believe. One of his friends told the Matin he is likely to start legal battle if he is rearrested. raising the point that he was regularly released, the jail register having been signed in accordance with the required for malities, and that 1t is for the gov- ernment to prove his liberation was illegal before it can again imprison him.
 It was the governments intention to release M. Daudet on July 14. Bastile day. when he would have served one month of his sentence. but 1t became known that the cabinet changed this decision, and now the general opinion is that if he is again placed in prison it is likely he will be compelled to remain there for a considerable time.
 M. Delest is with Daudet, and 1t is believed Madame Daudet is with him also. Although informed that the authorities expect him to return to the prison within eight days, Semard is showing no signs of com- plying. He has made no effort to

BRITISHERS AWAIT

Crowds Are Flocking to the
 Totalty Belt

The weather has ipterfered greatly with the adjust lnent of the instruments. But the work has gone steadily forward. rather in hope than in faith.
 Weather prospects are continuing discouraging and the latest forecasts led gamblers to bet three to one against clear sky Wednesday morn- ing. t.
 All the towns in the district were prepared to give the visitors plenty of amusement to pass she hours of waiting. Motion picture theaters. dance halls and restaurants will be open throughout the night.
 Oslo, Norway. June 2s R-Pro- lessor Frederick Slocum. director of the Van Week observatory in Connecticut, assisted by Professor B. w. Sitterly, has established an observation station in the mountains not far from Oslo to view the eclipse of the sun tomorrow. A number of other astronomers are also gathered in the vicinity. .-

Driven to dcsparation by his ina hllity to find employment. Steve Gral, aged about 32 years, walked into police Headquarters this fore noon and asked Captain George J. Kelly 10 send him to jail He said he formerly lived at 14S Grove street and for the past several days he was in Hartford, returning today. He sought employment at local fac- tories without success and with the winter coming on he dreaded the ordeal Of being without means of support. He was willing to work in jail or any other place where he would have food and shelter and clothing, he said. He had done no work in five months and his re- sources have dwindled to nothing.
 Captain Kelly told him it was not within the province of the police 10 make arrests without cause and he advised Gral to go elsewhere. The latter was so insistent, however, that it became necessary for the captain to have Supernumcrary Of ficer John Nolan eject him.
