WORLD COURT {, MEM BERSH|P : NOT FAVORED
President Harding Is Shown
 Opposition to Scheme of l Administration.

WASHINGTON. April 20. Ex- pressing the belief that Republican opposition to the administrator s proposal to become a member of the International Court of Justice is even stronger than that against en- trance to the League of Nations Representative Will R. Wood, In- diana chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, told Pre5i- dent Harding today that he believed it would be mistake for the party to urge the proposition.
 Woods statement to the President constituted the first open opposition to the proposal among the Republi- can leaders outside of the "irrecon- cilable" group.
 President Not Moved.
 Wood stated after the conference that the President seemed not to be weakening in advocacy of the pro- posal
 Wood stated that continued ad- vocacy of the proposal to become a member of the World Court would create a break in the Republican party or deprive the party of a clear cut issue with the Democrats next year inasmuch as the Demo- crats seemed generally favorable to the proposal.
 Personal Views.
 Wood said he presented his views as his own but was sure they were shared by a large group of the Re- publican party.
 The President was told by Wood that he had recently visited Indiana and found there as well as in other parts of the West a standing op- position to membership in any tribunal connected with the League of Nations.
 It is understood the President took the position that opposition was based largely upon a misunder- standing of conditions attending &C., ceptance of membership in the World Court. It is understood the President plans to shortly issue a statement explanatory of the pro- posal.

BILL TO REVISE
 |. PROBATE LAW TO BE SIDETRACKED
Too Long to Be Considered Political Bill Is Passed
 by Senate, 6 to 2.

The Senate Committee on Judiciary today unanimously recommended that Senate Bill No. g. the new pro- bate code prepared and submitted to the Legislature by the Attorney Gen eral. be tabled for the session. The report said, owing to the importance of the measure and its extreme length, not sufficient time remained in which to make thorough study of il.
 Even if all the remaining time were devoted to the bill, said the report, 'it would be scarcely sufficient to form a just estimate thereof" Con tinuing, 1t said in part:
 By reason of the number and va- riety of important subjects still re- mainng for onr consideration. it is obvious that it will be impossible for the Legislature at this session. to thoroughly examine, much less to amend and pass, the bill in question. Our present probate code is at least well known to all and is workable and has served with reasonable de- gree of satisfaction for many years. No change made Is certain to be an improvement over existing statutes.' It calls attention to the fact that although many copies of the meas ure were prepared and forwarded to various individuals throughout the Territory. 1t has been found impos- sible to obtain the information de- sired as to the workability of the proposed code and the sentiment of the people as to the advisability of adopting lift. The bill was put on the calendar for today and was sehed- uled to be disposed of this after noon.
