senator Warren of wyoming Chosen
President of National Wool
Growers Association.

SALT LAKE CITY Jan. ls.-The morn
ing session Of the National Wool Growers
convention was occupied by papers on the
twenty eight-hour law. the car shortage
and other problems OF the wool Industry,
and the reading of the secretary's and
treasurer's reports.
Fred w. Gooding president OF the Idaho
Wool Growers association, recommended
an amendment TO the twenty -elght-hour
law providing for a speed limit for stock
trains. He said the law was drafted by
humanitarans who were not practical stock
raisers. shd their failure TO insist on a
speed limit made the law worse than use
less
He charged that the railroads were in
the habit OF unloading sheep for feed and
water I'm yards intended for cattle and so
arranged that not one sheep In hundred
could feed or drink
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the inclusion OF treeless areas in
forest reserves; declaring the grazing fee
charged for sheep higher, proportionately,
than the fee for cattle; demanding the al

lotment of separate districts to sheep and
cattle; endorsing the tariff on wool, wooden
fabrics, hides, meat and meat animals;
recommending that stock trains be re-
CURED to run not less than seventeen miles
an hour, including stops; urging that the
bureau Of animal industry see that stock is
properly cared for in transit, and COM
mending the plan of the forestry bureau to
kill predatory animals, both on and or the
forest reserves.
The convention suggested amendments to
a bill introduced in the senate by Senator
Burkett, authorizing the president TO es-
tablsh grazing districts in the public do
main. The convention would have the
authority given the president I'm the bill
divided between the president and the
states.

ties today. Much excitement prevailed and

seminary in the neighboring village of
Freguier were battered down before the
seminarists would yield.
PARIS. Jan. 1s.-The result OF the meet
ing OF the French episcdpate. which ended
today, was q complete victory for the
ultramuntanes. as it constitutes a reafiirma-
ton OF the refusal Of the pope to accept
the terms OF the church and state separa-
ton law. The ultimate recourse TO private
worship, although kept in the background
is logical consequence Of the policy
adopted by the prelates, and the bishops
will direct the parish priests, II they are
prosecuted for celebrating masses Illegally
not TO pay their fines. but go to prison.
In other words, passive resistance is the
i policy OF the church. The government
