Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 2.-The
governments plan for ousting OIL
drillers from the Teapot Dome ma
val reserve will not be altered
Governor Robert ID. Carey OF Wyo-
ming was informed in a telegram
from washington at the direction
of President Harding this after
noon.
The message, written by the
presidents secretary, George b.
Christian, follows: ...
"The president has seen your
letter gram. Asks me to say he
has thoroughly gone into the case,
with which he is dealing with a
deta chment of marines. He has
personally communicated with
chief parties at interest in this
matter and admonished them, the
government cannot tolerate tres
pass. They have seen fit to ignore
every friendly effort, to vacate
trespass or bring suit for such
rights as they possess. The feder-
al government cannot embark on a
course of civil suits to, protect it
self from trespass on its naval re-
serves. This particular case has
been given very thorough atten-
tion and you can be sure the gov
ernment believes in the correctness
of its course. which it intends to
pursue.
