CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. L.
When the equity OF the United
States against the Mammoth Oil
Company and Harry II. Sinclair, ct
al. involving the Teapot Dome
lease, comes up for hearing in the
United States District Court in
Cheyenne October Z, there win be
called as witnesses probably the
largest number Of persons that
ever appeared to give testimony in
a case coming before a tribunal In
Wyoming. 4
There win also appear, as cOun-
sci for the parties involved, an ar.
ray Of legal talent seldom aquaIIed
and never surpassed In any trial In
q Western court.
From. all indications II IL believed
that not less than $50 witnesses
viii be brought before the court o
large percentage Of them being
noted biologists and experts In
matters Of oil production and in
the geological formation Of oil
bearing structures.
Harry r. Sinclair, head Of the
Sinclair syndicate, TO whom the
Teapot Dome lease was originally
granted, has already been gubpOe-
naed by the Government and prob
ably also VIII appear as q witness
In his own behalf and for the Nam.
moth OIL Company, the concern
organized by him to drill the wells
On the Teapot Dome and take the
oil kherefrom.
Former Secretary OF the Interior
Albert b. Fall and former Secretary
of the Navy Edwin DENLY are also
expected to be present ana testify.
Call Many Witnesses.
Not less than thirty.three Wit
nesses on behalf Of the Government
have already been subpoenad, and
more are to be called. Just before
Judge 4. Blake Kennedy left Chey-
enne recently Tor New York ne
granted the petition Of Government
counsel for the taking Of deposit
tions Of witnesses In Canada.
Judge Kennedy, who Is judge Of
the United States Court for the
district Of Wyoming and who win
preside In the trial of the Teapot
Dome case here, went to New York
to preside in the Federal court for
the Southern district OF that State,
hearing number Of cases In which
Federal judges there were disQuali-
fled, and VIII not return TO Chey-
enne until shortly before the Teapot
Dome case comes up. He Il ex-
pected back about October s or 8.
Many dispositions In the Teapot
Dome case have already been taken
in various parts of the country and
are now in the custody OF Clerk
Charles J. Ohnhaus, Of the United
States Court here. All are under
seal and none OF them win b
opened until the case comes up for
trial.
A large part or the evidences u
be presented win be Of q docu-
mentary character, az well as IN
the shape Of dispositions; but even
at that, much oral testimony viii be
introduced. unless attorneys con,

It Is probable that two major
propositions will be contested in
the trial, the first being the 10.
galify Of the lease and the manner
in which its granting was brought
about, counsel Tor the Government
having charged In their petition,
filed at the beginning Of the suit,
that the law does not permit the
granting Of the lease and that the
transaction was Of q. fraudulent
nature; and second. the question OF
structural formation OF the dome.
as to whether or not the oil de.
posits there, reserved for naval
use, could have been or would
have been drained off through the
drilling Of wells outside the naval
reserves.
1t Is expected that both parties

when the case comes up on Octo.

will be resorted to by either side.

Red SOx Fall
On Hurley Diamond
Colored Champions Of Minnesota
Treated to a Seven-Three Pill
in Listless Game.

The Hurley ball team experienced
but little difficulty in disposing Of
the Minneapolis Red Sox in the game
played On the home lot Sunday, de-
feating the visitors by the score Of
z to 3. The Red Sox were touted
as the colored champions Of Mime
sofa.
The locals took the lead in the
first inning by registering four
scores. A hit, passes, wild pitches
and a fielder's choice Melted the
runs Hurley maintained the lead
throughout the game and added one
more in the third inning and two in
the eighth
Three home runs featured the
game, two of them going to the Red
Sox and accounting for the two
scores chalked up by the visitors in
the second frame Leo Pufall sent
the third one over the boards.
With Hurley right up and chalking
up four scores in their first time up
most of the comedy that was promis-

folks. The Minneapolis contingent
Immediately realized that they were
up against a real ball team and that
they would have to play ball in order
TO make showing and keep up their
reputation.
A good crowd witnessed the
game, and while the stiff opposition
that was expected from the visitors
did not materialize ii was not be-
cause the Red Sox are not ball
players but because the Hurley boys
play better ball. The fans got a
few thrills despite the tendency Of
the game to be istless, due no doubt
to the heat, for it was real hot
Sunday afternoon. probably the
hottest Sunday afternoon in this
section SO far this summer.

AUTOMOBILE LIGHTS SHOULD
NOT BE DIMMED
Industrial Commission Issues Warn.
ing and Says That Lights Should
Be Adjusted.

Would you drive your car 20 to 80
miles an hour blindfolded?
Of course you would not and vet
that IS what people do in effect when
they dim their headlights when pass
ing each other on the highway.
Everyone knows that bright lights
shining in the eye blind person and
cause accidents.
Not so many people know that
suddenly dimming the headlights on
passing another car also blinds the
driver and that this procedure causes
Just as many highway accidents as
glaring lights.
What person has not been partial
ly blinded for few moments when
stepping from a brightly lighted
room to a dark cellar stairway?
The effect is the same when you
suddenly dim your headlights. To
be sure both drivers stop the glare
but they also rob themselves of the
light necessary to see. If memory
of what he saw just before dimming
were not a helpful factor to the
driver, the number of night accidents
due TO dimming would be appalling.
For this reason the Wisconsin law
fOrbids dimming your headlights
and the Secretary Of State so ad-
vises every motorist when he sends
the license plates.
But this does not mean that YOU
may cause binding glare You are
required to have a light on the road
which is so good that you can see a
dark object 200 feet ahead of your
car and at the same time not blind
the other driver
Such a light, when the lights are
not dimmed, will throw direct beam
down the road at least 200 feet but
no part of the beam will rise above
the level of the headlights and hence
will not glare the other driver.
Remember that the light which
blinds the other fellow does you no
good either, because it never hits the
road bed. Hence when your lights
are glaring you are wasting light.
A few simple adjustments, just as
simple as the ones you make on your
radio, will give you light which is
not only legal and safe but actually
is better.
Therefore, for selfish reasons, if
for no other. you viii benefit from
little attention to your headlights.
If your garage man cannot show
you how to focus and adjust your
headlights, write for a booklet pub
hshed by the Industrial Commission,
Madison, which explains in full how
to do it.

SAVING PROMISED THROUGH
IMPROVED METHODS
New System of Making Awards at
County Fairs introduced by
Secretary of State
Zimmerman.

Secretary Of State Fred r.
Zimmerman expects telling results
from a new method of awarding
premiums at county fairs which he
has introduced this season. The
system is a radical departure from
the old methods, since il takes the
control of the state funds out of
the hands of the fair secretaries and
places it in the hands of the judges,
who become accredited agents of the
secretary Of state Heretofore, the
judges awarded the premiums but
the secretaries made out the lists on
which the state funds were APP
poruoned Under this system,
there could be no assurance that the
certificate TO the secretary of state
correspondent to the premiums which
were actually paid Under the new
system, no state aid will be allowed
for premiums awarded by judges who
are not accredited by the secretary
of state.
President A. w. Prehn Of the
Wisconsin Association Of County
Fairs expressed the opinion that the
new system would effect a saving
10 the state Of from S25,o00 TO $780,
600 annually. The new system has
been heartily approved by the board
Of directors Of the Wisconsin AS
ISOLATION Of County Fairs, and Mr.,
Zimmerman is receiving letters of
commentator from many secret
aries.
W Nj. Kelley, for fifteen years
secretary Of the Juneau County
Fair. is visiting the several associa-
tions as a special representative 81

Iron Ore Shipping
Has Eased Off
No, So Many Ore Boats Coming Into
The Ashland Harbor; Shipments
Behind Last Year.
From Ashland Press

Nth the Northwestern docks
.bont 70 boats behind the same time
la.t season. and with the 500 dock
obont even, a fresh easing off in the
rnmber of ore boats entering the
mort Of Ashland during the past week
( causing speculation as to condi-
lions for the remainder of the
season.
According to Port Collector Burn
ham the slump the past week has
baan noticeable, but he is not certain
whether this means an actual falling
off or just a punching of the boats
which viii arrive together a little
later
According to Mr.. Burnham's re-
cords Just as many boats have
cleared from this port this season as
last the totals being TAI for 1928
IN to August /, as against TAB to
date this year.
The figures. however, give false
jmnression Of ore shipment.
The Northwestern dock has loaded
only 246 boats to date, as against
3l5 last year for the same period,
and in tonnage the Northwestern is
100000 tons behind last years
figure.
The 500 dock has a substantially
larger tonnage than last year, though
not enough to make the employment
Of more men necessary, and the
force Of 80 men is slightly below that
Of last year.
The Northwestern has about rs
employees now working as against
double that number last year.
What may occur during the re-
mainder Of the shipping season is
not known at either dock, though the
slump has been noticed. 1t is not
expected that any more men will be
laid off.
Port Collector Burnham states
that shipments last year totalled
s30,O00,000, and he expects that as
large a figure viii be reached this
year This includes shipment of
ore, lumber, pulpwood, pulp, and
pig iron.
The incoming shipments of coal
are 100000 tons behind last year,
but this, according to the port
collector, is due to the fact that all
Of last years supply was not needed
due to the mild winter.
