WYOMING MAY SUPPLY
 UTAH WITH NATURAL GAS

SALT LAKE CITY, June 30- Natural gas for Salt Lake City and Ogden from newly discovered well in western Wyoming is being con- sidered here. One well drilled re- gently is said to have capacity of S0,o00,0o0 cubic feet of gas a day and this amount, experts point out, is greatly in excess of what would be used by Salt Lake and Ogden even should natural gas displace coal for heating purposes.
 Manufactured gas in Salt Lake City at present costs about s1.52 per thousand cubic feet, and it is claimed the natural gas could be piped in and sold for much under this amount. The new natural gas well in Wyoming is said to be practic- ally inexaustible and it is proposed to construct a pipe line of about 200 miles.

HELENA, June 30-At the con- clusion of his prepared address last night, President Harding asked the people of Montana to "give their in- fluence" to bring about American membership in an international court of justice to the end that war might be avoided among the nations. Lay ing aside his manuscript, he enumer- ated the costs of war and declared ''it is in the heart of America that we never want war again.. This statement of the President was loud ly applauded, the cheering lasting several minutes.
 The president also was applauded when, during his prepared address, he declared against the deflation of labor and overthrow of labor or ganizations. He was again applauded when he declared in favor of univer- sal conscription in war time.

 He cited statistcs to show that drunkenness was on the decrease and urged his hearers to continue the work of propaganda which had proved so beneficial in this respect.

WESTERN OARSMEN DEFEAT
 RIVALS AT PoUGHKEEPSIE

POUGHKEEPSIE, June 30-The University of Washington crew won the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa- tion's annual varsity crew race here on Thursday afternoon, on a three mile course. The Washington fresh men in the second race were defeated only by inches, the Cornell crew crossing the line four-fifths of a second ahead of the Westerners.
 Washington won the varsity event by one length, with the Navy second Columbia third, Syracuse fourth, Cor nell fifth and Pennsylvania a poor sixth. It was the first time Wes- tern crew ever won rowing clas. sic. ::...- -.:.. .
 The Navy got of to poor start and rowed on even terms with Wash ington to the two and one-half mark, but fell behind in the last spult. Washington took slight lead, keeping it up to the mile mark, when Columbia forged ahead with Syracuse second, and Navy, Cornell Washington and Pennsylvania in the order named. After passing the mile mark Washington spurted, almost catching up with Columbia. At the two mile post the Westerners had a lead of nearly a length and held it to the finish.
 The freshman event appeared al- most a dead heat, with Cornell and Washington tied. There was some difference of opinion among the judges, but the referees gave the race to Cornell.
