in Last Hours.

New York. June 19.-The violent
movements of few prominent stocks,
notably Mexican Petroleum, which
made an extreme advance Of 175a
points, to the years record price of
1854 in the face of an otherwise un-

Mexican Petroleum probably owed
much of Mondays sensational rise to
the continued existence of a large and
stubborn short or bearish interest.
Its advance Monday was accompanied
by reports that certain out of town
operators, especially in Pittsburgh and
chicago. had been hit hard and were
willing to effect private settlements.
Other oils more or less directly af-

Butte, June 19.-The contest be-
tween Stanford and Hobson for the
county seat Of Judith Basin county
was argued before Judge William E.
Carroll here Monday Judge Carroll
heard the case some months ago at
Stanford and more than 200 witnesses
were examined. The final arguments
will probably be finished Tuesday, after
which the matter will be taken under

within q few days. In order to expe-
dite matters and allow the attorneys
from out Of town an opportunity to
finish the case as soon as possible
Judge Carroll held session Monday
night, which did not close until late.
Stanford Won by 80
The town of Hobson contends that
there were Irregularities in the election
of November, 1920, which gave the
county seat to Stanford by majority
of 80 votes. There was considerable
difficulty after the suit was filed to
secure a judge that would be agree
able to all parties concerned. Gov
ernor Joseph NJ. Dixon was appealed
to and he named Judge William E. Car
roll of Butte to hear the case. The
taking of testimony occupied three
weeks and at the conclusion by mu-
tual agreement it was decided that the
closing arguments should be heard In
Butte.
One of the interesting points argued
Monday was the case of Bernice Ho-
bensack Moore. whose home was at
Windham. where her father had
ranch. Though working in a clerical

the primary election in 1920 and about

Mr.. Taft opened with graceful
tribute to the Earl of Balfour and a
compliment to Great Britain for pos
sessing such a great statesman, and
voiced his gratitude to the Pilgrims
for this expression of their good will.
He proceeded briefly to review the
history of the relations between Great
Britain and America, in the course of
which he said:
Never Think Of War
''No trouble arises between the two
countries that we of America do not
all look forward to its settlement either
by negotiation or by arbitration. ANY
other event is not considered for a
moment. This American state of mind
is constant factor in our relations;
it sometimes produces an apparent in
difference Or lack of excitement on the
part of our people over irritating is
sues that is misleading to the British
observer"
he alluded to another source of mis-
understanding, the gigantic experiment
of trying to Americanize masses of i'm
migrants congested in large cities.
where they retained the same environ
ment as in their own home countries,
and do not feel the Americanzing in
fluences to whcih earlier immigrants
were subjected, and whose racial preju-
dices had not been mitigated, as had
been hoped. by living under the Ameri-
can flag.
Brings Up War Reaction

action following the overwhelming
strain of the war and the interval of
