trial was held in a district court
where neither Parker o Magee
lives. The bringing of Magee to the

were a persecution. the sentences
harsh and beyond reason and the
whole procedure a disgrace and a
blot upon the name of New Mexico
and the good people thereof" The

Caused President to Turn
Southwark Yesterday

ABOARD PRESIDENT HAIR
DING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, ALASKA
RAILROAD, July II (By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Rest seemed today
to have restored Mrs. Harding from.
fatigue which yesterday led Presi-
dent Harding to turn southwark
over the Alaska railroad from Fair
banks instead of following a plan
cherished by the Alaskans and en-
Enthusiastically urged by Mrs. Harding
to proceed back toward the coast
by automobile.
Nearly "a hours were passed by
the Presidential party in Fairbanks,
the northern terminus of the rail-
road. The President left there las
evening greatly impressed by the
agriculture and the mining of which
that city, sometimes called the
Chicago of Alaska, is the center.
But he was much disappointed at
missing the automobile trip, which
would have led for 325 miles over
the Richardson Highway to Chitina.s
where a train would have been taken
on the Copper Riv r and northwest
ern railway to Cordova. At Cordova
the party would have boarded the
Navy Transport Henderson, on
which the President and his party
left Tacoma, Wash, July 5 and by
means of which they visited the
principal points in south eastern
Alaska. The President expects to go
upon the Henderson at Seward,
where the party left the vessel, and
to proceed to Cordova.
The President attributed Mrs.
Harding's fatigue to the earnest
hospitality of the Alaskans and to
the long days at this time of year.
This led to many hours of activity
with shortened periods of rest.
