Brooks, president of the Wyoming National Bank, was one of the speakers at the banquet held in the evening at the Hotel Townsend. Governor Brooks’ topic was “Our Diminishing Resources,” but, according to the speaker, was a misnomer. “There sno such thing as dimjnishing re- sources in this state,” he remarked. + “LT have lived here for forty-five years and during that tirae I have heard time and again tha: the state was going to hell. Whe. the rail. road went on to Lander people said that Casper was finished, Now they are saying that the oll {s playing out. Three time 2 have watched the sheep industry go on the rocks. but look at it now. When I hear people talk of our diminishing re- sources I wonder if they can pos- sibly imagine what the Rocky moun: tain states will some day produce. I wonder {ff it is given to man to see the marvelous developments which are going to transform this country, even as it is being transformed now.” It will be ten years before drilling operations in the second Wall creek sand are finished, according to John 'T. Barnett, president of the Salt Creek Producers. At that time the field would be producing just as much oll as it ts today, Mr, Barnett told the bankers. ““Small Herds of Sheep on Farms” formed the subject of an address by 8. H. Megown, cashier of the Riv- erton State bank. NO TRUTH IN BUS TRAGEDY ASHVILIE, N.

The company s been promotec by a San Jose minister and associates. The prospectus sets forth that «he “purest guarantee of success is the Presence and approval ot God.” and “that God has committed a great and exceedingly rich gold quartz ledge” to the company. The commission” has set Friday, ‘eptember 25, as the date when offi- cials of the company will appear to show cause why their license should not be revoked. It Is the religious claims of divine protection to in- vestors that the commission pro- poses to "particularly Inquire into, The Rev. William Keeney Towner, pastor of the San Jose Baptist church, is secretary-treasurer of the mining concern, and has admitted authorship of some of the literature, but said he had “tried to keep with- in the law." Since the organization of the com- pany in 1923 at San Jose, Cal., ap- proximately $35,000 of the total cap- italization of $60,000 has been sub- scribed. Stock was sold on the agreement that 50 per cent of the earnings would be devoted ‘to religious work, “the basic principle of the corpora- tion.” Borah Asks Relief For Reclamation te WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—(By As- sociated Press).— Senator Borah, representative from Idaho, carried to the White House his ob- jJections to the reclamation projects in the west. In conference with President Coolidge, the senator urg- ed a more liberal attitude on the part of the government, and declared that the interfor department has adequate authority under the law to carry out relief measures, USE COL. MITGHE TOBE ASKED 10 PROVE CHARGED Will Be One of Main Witnesses Called in Disaster Probe. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. —(Asso- ciated Press)—Colonel William Mit- chell, the stormy petrel of the air squadron, probably will be a chief witness befor the naval court which is to inquire into the wreck- ing of the naval airship, Shenn- doah. It will be the purpose to ask him to substantiate his published charge that the agcident to the Shenandoah was a direct result of “the incompe- tency, criminal negligence and al- most treascnable administration of the national defense by the navy and war departments.” An investigation looking to a pos- sible courtmartial of the former as- sistant chief of the army air serv: ice is now belng conducted by the war department, but officials have made clear that this inguiry will not interfere with the calling of Mitchell as a witness either before the Shenandoah inquiry or the president's @pecial aircraft board. The Inquiry into the disaster will furnish an opportunity for the navy department to question Colonel Mit- chell so as to develop precisely what he. charged in connection with this case and what proof he. has to offer. At the same time the department will be in a position then to reply. While Colonel Mitchell undoubted- ly will be called before the: presi- dent's special board. it is not likely that the board, charged as it {s with @ general inquiry, will go Into de- tails of the Shenandoah disaster to the extent that it might develop from the army officer in full detail his charges. The Shenandoah inquiry will get under way Monday at Lakehurst. 30th Child Is Born to Woman At Age of 68 MADRID, Sept. 17.—(By The Asso- ciated Prers)—At the age of sixty- elght, Camille Lorenwo, a resident of the town of Valladolid has just given birth to her thirtieth child.

Rodkey, hotel cashier, and given the death penalty. and several times were reportet dead-locked at 9 to 3 and 10 to 2, for a hanging verdict, the minority holding out for life imprisonment on the grounds that the pair were insane. The defense relied on an {nsanity plea and in tho closing arguments declared there were many instances in which persons accused of murder had pleaded guilty and been sentenc- ed to life imprisonment. The prosecution asked for the death penalty and introduced forty- six witnesses, many of whom {den- tified both the accused, and named Holmes as the actual slayer, Con- fesstons of both were read into the evidence. Holmes and Woods with three others terrorized the exclusive hos- telry on Chicago's tea time, July 29.
