TITUS OF OLD STOCK TAAL TA HE DETERMINED N COURT FIGHT Former Governor Carey To Testify Before End Of Case Contested by Entry and Stockmen. Pioneer history of Wyo- ming, and Natrona county in particular, is being unfolded in all its picturesque details today in the eighti_district court as oldtimers of fhis part of the country testify in the famous Bishop vs. Hawley se which is to decide the legality of the open stock trail in Wyoming. Former Governor Robert E. Carey 1s expected to be a witness In the case today or tomor- row, The case was instituted following the building of a fence across the Goose Egg trail, which runs from ‘adoma dipping and sheering pens to Emigrant Gep. The fen-e was built on the homestead of Robert Hawley about three miles south of Cadoma. The plaintiff M. L. Bishop, after whom the ratlroad station of Bishop was named, filed a petition asking that the fence be abated as it ob- structed the trai! and suffered hard- ship on the stockmen who used It. this ‘Through petition, which ts more or less in the nature of a friend- ly sult, the stockmen hope to keep open the old time stock trails, be come because of long usage almost similar to our state highways, The defendant represents the home- steaders in general who are fighting the issue on the groun@ that the stock owners have no right to trafl across their patented -property. Thomas Cooper, who has been tn this part of the country for the last 48 years, was one. of the most inter- esting witnesses to be called. He testified that the trail in question, known under various names in the intervening time, had been in almost constant use during his long years jot residence here. He said it was the only means of trailing stock from omigrant Gap and that it had been used regular for cattle and sheep. Other long time residents who testi fied were Dan Speas, Rasmus Lee and Oddmund Josendahl. The case {g of unusual fnterest to the Wyoming Woolgrowers’ associa: tlon and Marvin L, Bishop, Jr., is acting as counsel for the association assisting Purcell, Casey & Perkins, which firm {s handling the case for the stockmen. W. H. Patten is the counsel for the homesteaders.

O. P. Platform Pledge of LastCampaign | | NEW YORK, April 24.—Participation by the United | States in the world court as proposed by the administration, | President Harding declared at the annual luncheon of mem- | bers of the Associated Press, would be “in harmony with | party platform pledges, candidatorial promises and Ameri- on aspirations,” and would not be an entry into the League nationg “by the side door, the back dor or the cellar door.” “Excessive friends,” of the league, the president declare’, have becolud- ed the situation by an unwarranted assumption that the proposal is a move toward membership in the league while, he added, the irrecon- cilable opponents of the league have Also beclouded the question with the assumption that entanglements with Europe would unavoidable follow. The fear of entanglements, the President dismissed with the blunt de claration that if the senate were to consent to any his administration would not complete ratification of Proposal and would thereby Prevent it from becoming effective. Reiterating his conviction that the United States could participate in the world court without assuming the risks which {ts opponents point out, President Harding reviewed the Re- publican party platforms since 1904, atl of which he pointed out, spoke for a world court of arbitrat justice and added: “T believe in keeping the faith, If political parttes do not mean what they say and candidates do not mean what they say, then our form of pop- ular government is based on fraud nd:eannot hope to endure.” But the president left no doubt that he has no intention of moving toward the league of nations by his support of the world court. ‘In compliance with tts pledges,” ie said, ‘the administration definite ly and decisively put aside all thought of the United States entering the league of nations. It doesn't propose to enter now by the side door, the back door or the cellar door. I have no unseemly comment to offer on the league. If it is serving the old world tapfully, more power to {t. But {t {s not for us. The senate has so de clared the executive has #9 Ceclared; the people have so declare’. Nothing could be more decisively stamped with finality.” Mr, Hamiing made it plain that he did not consider the world court ques: tion paramount to all other national problems and added that neither did he hold {t a menace to party unity, evidently having in mind the warn- ing issued by some Repubulican lead- ere within the last few weeks. “Tt ought not be classed as a party question,” he continued, “but if any party, repeatedly advocating a world court, is to be rended by the sug> gestion of an effort to perform in ac- cordance with its pledges, it needs a new appraisal of its assets,” Sensing one of the principal argu: ments to be used by opponents of the administration proposal, the clatm that the United States would be plac ed at a disadvantage in tho election of judges to tho court through the disparity in the national voting pow- er in the league assembly, the presl- dent sald he frankly recognized this as n “political bugbear,”, but added that inasmuch as no nation could have more than one judge it was less of an objection when applied to the league itaelf, ‘Although the question of the world court formed the burden of the pres- ident’ wort’ for the establishment of a mer- | chant marina deplored tack of party | loyalty and the organization of groups or blocs to serve group inter-| ests, and urged that the primary be| ‘made an agent of indisputable party | expression, rather than a means of Party confusion or destruction | The presidential special of three cars arrived at 6 a. m. but Mr. and! Mrs. Harding did not breakfast until +30 o'clock. Shortly after 9 o'clock they left their train and walked through the station to the string of motors awaiting their party. An open car wag selected for Mr. and Mrs. Harding but because of the chi!l in the morning air the first tady of the land demurred and chose a closed machine. | Because of the uncertainty of the hour of the president's arrival a smatler crowd than usual was on| hand to greet him. Commuters, how- ever, lingered in the station to cheer bim and a fair crowd was mass- ed on Seventh avenue. The _ presidentii party drove through 82nd street to Fifth avenue and then up town to the 33rd street entrance to the hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Harding went at once to their suite. It was understood that the pres!- dent would rema'n m his sulte until he appeared at the luncheon of the Associated Press.
