Cooke, pastor of the First Congrega- tional church, in. an address this noon at the I heon ofthe Cosmo- politan club at the Henning hotel.

In closing he empha sized what he held to be the wisdom of the nayy department in provid- ing of] storage, and filling that stor- age with oll, without recourse to congress and the exposure of de- fense plans to the publicity incl- dental to congressional debate. “We know not when or whence our enemy will come, but we know that some time some enemy will at- tack us," he said, stressing the wis- dom of preparedness. Lacey argued that congress, when it enacted that the naval reserve oil sho! be “conserved,” meant ne ofl whould be taken trom nd and placed in artificial se to prevent its loss through ge of the reserves by wells The navy not was specifically commanded to the ofl out of the reserves, but it was authorized to take it out under lease agreement if, in the discretion of the secretary of the navy, that should appear to be the most feasible way, counsel argued. Although Lacey's argument was largely technical tt held throughout the day the interest of Nsteners who overflowed the court room, among them many Wyoming attor- neys who had come from neighbor+ ing cities to hear the summing-up of the most famous litigation ever tried in the state. Lucey analyzed at length the meaning of Certain words used in the act of June*4, 1920, including “development, use and operation,” “conservation” and “lea servation,” he sald, must be ed as meaning that the oll na ag in the al reserves must be safeguarded inst its loss, which could only be accomplished by its removal from the ground and sterage; the other words cited, he argued, must bo accepted “in the meaning of those words as used in the ofl industry.” Commending the policy of ‘the department in arranging for the extraction of Teapot Dome’s oil content and the application of a part of this content to trade for storage facilities and of the re- mainder of the government's share to exchange for fuel oj Lacey stated that {f this were not done, and national emergency would arise, it would require nine months to develop the naval reserve suffi a ciently to make the first fuel ol! avatlable as a result of development available to the warships of the Dr. G. 8. Barger, president of the Cosmopolijan club presided at the luncheon and introduced the Rev. Cooke, It was announced that eight new members had signified | their willingness and desire to become members, These names will be an- nounced after the new members have taken their obligation. Dr, Barger introduced two guests, George W. Dally of Gebo, Wyoming and Tom Sproat of Chicago. Plans are being perfected by the club to send a delegation to the national convention of Cosmopolitan clubs to be held at Tul: The Juncheon of the club next week will be held at the Townsend hotel. The fact that the Lions club hold their luncheon at the Henning on the same day in the main db ing room makes acommodations @ little cramped, Dr, Barger stated. ‘The luncheon will be held in the main dining room of the Townsend. WIDE VARIANCE OF OPINION ON OIL QUESTION (5 OUTLINED The dease on Teapot Dome and the supplemental contract where- under the exchange of royalty oil for fuel oll was arranged were not only separable, but in fact separate contracts, he argued, the former not having been created until the latter had been in operation for about a year. The secretary of the navy was granted powers by congress so broad that he was not required to submit the proposal to lease Teapot Dome to competitive bidding, Lacey argued. Argument for the defense was con tinued Wednesday morning by George P. Hoover of Washington, D. C., who will be followed by Mar- tin W, Littleton of New York City. Thereafter the government counsel will close, Dog Licenses Due, Roundup To Begin Soon Don't forget to purchase a dog license for Fido, In accordance with section of ordinance number 71, all dogs within the city of Casper must be licensed and collared by the first day of April. April first is April Fool's day but there will be no fooling on the part of the police départment in the enforcement of this ordinance. Bright and early on Wednesday, a week from toda all police of- ficers will start on a vigorous rodeo campaign to round up all canines of every breed and description which do not carry a collar with a license attached. And once the dog falls into the net, his doom is certain. Nothing can eave a dog, be It mongrel, cur or blue blood, if the owner allows it to run loose without a dog license after midnight on March 31. The dogs themselves are dumb animals and are not at fault if they do not have the official sanction of the city placed upon their lives by the payment of the fee required by law. It {s up to every owner of a dog to protect the dumb animal from slaughter in the dog pound. April first is only a week away and own- ers of canines are urged to-act with. out delay. Many complaints have been re ceived at the police station concern- ing dogs being allowed to run loose in North Casper. A complaint was received this morning saying that dogs were scaring and molesting small school children in North Cas per, The owner of a dog must use reasonable cate to protect his neigh: bors and the public from annoyances such as prolonged howling, and run- ning out and barking at passersby, The police are empowered to do away with the dogs {f the owners 2 allow them to become a nuisance.

Hencé the ‘ease of April 7, 1922. “It would be grotesque, if it were not filled with tragic cruelty and political ambush, for the senate to froth at the mouth and turn purple with rage, when it is remembered that it was the senate which care- fully fashioned and deliberately es- tablished this policy. Congress has railed and raged, accused and anathematized and never once has it taken into account that it, con- gress, colned the words, put them together into sentences and divided | them into sections, by the plain, un- equivocal meaning of which, the secretary of the navy was directed to do the very thing of which con- gress now complains. “The insincerity of the whole business runs from the center of congress to the details of this trial. Having directed the secretary of the navy, in unmistakable language, to do exactly as he has done, and he having done s0, congress, proverbial- ly unwilling to recognize its own responsibility, and whipped into a foam by political passion, directs through an act of congress, that this suit be instituted, defines the issues, names the lawyers and orders them to proceed. If distinguished counsel accept employment they must do so understandng that they cannot advise their. client as to whether an action should be brought —for that was settled in the man- datory forms of their employment. So when distinguished counsel! ac- cepted the employment they did so under the obligation of instituting @ particular action, upon a particu: lar ground, against a particular company, and that without regard to any facts which they might ascer- tain after their employment. This accounts for the unparalleled situa- tion here today. The United States government has come into a court of equity seeking equity and with- held evidence which it had from its own unrepudiated and untmpeached officers and agents that the lease which it seeks’to annul on account of fraud was executed in good faith, for reasons of national defense and conservation and not as result of fraud, Admiral. Robison, Dr. Bain and Mr. Ambrose are not charged with conspiracy. or frand. They are not accused of being incompetents, and they unite in saying that they knew intimately the details and ren- sons for the execution of the lease, and the negotiations which led up to the lease. They knew that the re- serve was being drained, they knew the oil would be lost. They knew that a genuine national emergency existed and they acted upon this knowledge. They are still the trust- ed officers of the United States gov- ernment, and yet that government did not offer their evidence, and when it was offered, though they do not charge them or either of them with fraud or incompetency, they ask you to assume that there was fraud against their undisputed ev!- dence. “The government pursued a. policy in this Htigation on which required this case to be tried on suspicion and not on the facts. It knew that Sinclair and Fall were the principal negotiators of the lease, in addition to Secretary Denby, acting through Admiral Robison, Knowing this and knowing that an indictment would close the mouths of Fall and Sin- clair, acting on evidence certainly no stronger than here presented, it procured an indictment against Fall and Sinclair, It then turned away from its trusted officers, Robison, Bain and Ambrose, the only remain- ing witnesses having knowledge of the facts, and brought to this court the oatsam and jetsam of depart: mental correspondence to prove its case “The defendant are accused of co: the object of the conspira procure the lease. Is there a shred| of evidence of conspiracy? The secrecy which attends serious mill-| tary plans for the national defense has been converted in the jaundiced eye of politics into a conspiracy. The polley of attending to one’s business without trumpeting it abroad is being pointed to as evi dence of a culpable combination The desire to transact departmental business according to well thought out plans, and not in accordance with a persistent press, or an im- Dortunate congressman, is cited as evidence of a deep design to defraud “And now about the bonds of the Continental Trading company—about which so much has been said and so Uttle proven. There is ‘not a ne or word of evidence, nay more, there {6 not a natural, legitimat inference that Sinclair ever owned, controlled, possessed or knew of a single bond purchased by the Con- Hnental Trading company. “There belng no such evidence or Inference, what is It we aye cajled upon to assume—and It is a pure as- tumption—first that Secretary Vall | waa corrupt, of which th is no-| evidence; second, that Wyerhardt was | acting for him, of which there {s no. evidence; third, that Everhardt re ceived bonds from Sinclair, of which there iz no evidence; fourth, that Sinclair recelved the bonds from Osler when Osler swears be never y was to} CARS LEAVD DAILY AT 9:80 A.

Cromer in the case of the City of Casper versus E. A. Arbes, charged with possesion of intoxicating Mquor.

This vegetarian habit of the screen actress was revealed in federal court at the trial of a spit brought by Charles H. Duell, president of the Inspiration Pic- tures Inc., to compel her to make Pictures gnly for his company. ‘Throughout the opening session of the trial yesterday Miss Gish took an occasional bite of a cag- She was asked the reason, “Oh, I'm awfully nervous,” she replied. Holland Duell appeared as coun- sel for his brother. He described the action as a “contract-jumping case.” Max Steuer counsel for Miss Gish pleaded that she could not understand a contract, “Probably,” he sald to the court, “you. have never come in contact with a mentality so unequally lack- ing in capacity to read and analyze a document, or understand figures. Although she {s without peer an actress, she would sign any- thing that anyone asked her to sign.” Duell replied that Miss Gish was approaching 30 years and should be able to understand a contract. Miss Gish’s carrots divided in- terest {n headlines today with « incident of the arrival from Paris of Gloria Swansgn and her hus- band, Marquis de la Falaise.

It’s my tobacco pouch. And the H is for my first name, Henri." DECISION NEAR IN M’CLINTOCK CASE, BELIEF CHICAGO, March 25.—(By the Associated Press).—Prospects at noon today were that the arguments on the ‘question of bail for William D. Shepherd, charged with the mu: der of his foster son, William } McClintock, by typhoid inoculation, would require the remainder of the day. Judge Jacob M. Hopkins, chief justice of the criminal court , hear- ing the application for freedom for Shepherd on bond, was prepared to deliver an oral decision if the argu- menis were not prolonged’-too jate. Assistant State's Attorney Thomas Marshall resumed his argu- ment against bail, contending that nothing had been shown to support any reason why bail should be granted. — Mr. and Mrs. C. K.
