Grazing Cattle
Within Limits of
Yoscmite Park
Supreme Court to Decide' on Validity
of Regulations Prescribed by
Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON. April ll.-An unusual
question of law, arising out of the graxlng
of cattle within the limit of Tosemite Na
tional park wa argued today in the su
preme court of the United State.
In 1M6 J. B. Curtin was the owner of a
large tract within the limits of the park.
At that time Major P. C. Benson was su
perintendent of the wark. .Major Benson
forcibly prevented Curtin from using the
public tollroad leading to his lands snd
from using the lands to grate cattle until
Curtm bad complied - with regulations of
the Interior department requiring him to
fence in his lands.
Curtin cam to th supreme court to
srgu that Ih reditaUosis r tre Invalid on
the ground tbst tho secreCary of the In
terior had no right to enforce regulations
impairing or restricting the right of per
son owning patented lands within the
Yoeemlte National park.
The Department of Justice defenda the
-egulationa as necessary to prevent the
reservation from being overrun by herds of
cattle. It claims that Curtin's cattle have
been straying over the park for years.
The argument Is presented that, unlike an
individual, the federal government la not
required to look to the state to punish
trespassers on its property, but may inflict
punishment for such infringement itself.

WASHINGTON, April ll.-(Speclal Tele

night dinner of the League of Republican
clubs are being beard on all sides today
with particular reference to Attorney Gen
eral Wlckersham's speech at Chicago and
President Taft'a speech In thia city, one
being almost the antithesis of the other.
One. according to press reports, preached
the disciplining of the insurgent, the other
saw no insurgency, bat a clear case of dif
ference of opinion between men who are
republicans at heart, but look at republi
canism from different points of view.
President Taft's speech of ., Saturday
night Is regarded as one of the most tsctful
and yet most comprehensive speeches he
has made sines the passage of the Payne
Aldrlch bill and Insurgents so-called, who
were present at the dinner of the league,
were today voicing their praise of the
president and the manner In which he met,
not only the' Indiana situation, but con
ditions generally In the middle west, and
he made friends by his utterance that the
republican party never reads men out of
th psrty. but keeps them within the party
If possible. If men are read out of the
party they read themselves out of It by
their own actions and not by actions of the
party.
