legal points today and rested in the
discretion of Federal Judge T. Blake
Kennedy before whom the least annul

Harry K. Sinclair's Mammoth Oil
company was completed here y eater

The decision of Judge Kennedy will
determine whether Sinclair obtained
the lease on the Wyoming naval oil
reserve as a result of conspiracy and
fraud, as the government alleged, or
whether the aiamraotn uu company
obtained the grant De cause it, suDmit

It's "Judge"' in the court room but
"Blake" on the street with Judge T.
Blake Kennedy of the United States
court for Wyoming, in whose judg
ment lies decision whether the gov
ernment has established its contention
mat the leasing of the Teapot Dome
naval ' oil reserve was tainted with
cidlusioo and fraud between Hurry j
Sinclair and Albert B. Fall.
Judge Kennedy is a gemul souL Hp
radiates friendship and good fellow
ship. The dignified formalities of
practice before his court frequently
art rtlieved by flashes of humor from
the bench.
The judge lays n-itle judicial re
serve when he discards his robes of
office. He enn tell a good story, cr
listen to one.
Especially Qualified.
Judge Keuuedy was especially quali
fied by judicial experience to hear the
Teapot Home lease annualment case,
the biggest "oil" action ever brought
in the name of the federal government.
He was appointed to the bench fiv
years ago at a time when the Wyom
ing oil boom was at its crest and rival
claimants to oil field lauds were hav
ing recourse to the courts in droves.
A constant process of important
oil cases since has been passing
through his court, mauy of them in
volving actual millions oud some of
lb em theoretical scoreB of millions.
The fifty - million - dollar Teapot 1
Home reserve litigation isn t the big
gest oil suit in which he has sat. He
has not yet been reversed in an oil
case.

Maladjustment of railway rates on
commodities other than wool will re-,
suit from granting preferential joint
through rail and steamship rates on
wool produced in the interior and
mountain states and trans-shipped ut
Portland or other Pacific coast ter
minals at the Atlantic seaboard and in
the process of making adjustments the
rail carriers will lose still further
revenues now so much needed for
their support, declared J. E. Davis,
assistant general freight agent of the
Union Pacific system, in outlining the
position of the transcontinental rail
ways at yesterday's session of the
hearing on wool transportation rates
in initiated on complaint of the Bos
ton Wool trade association. Com
missioner J. B. Campbell and Ex
aminer P. C Faul of the interstate
commerce commission are striving to
have the hearing in Portland conclud
ed Friday night so that the hearing
at Chicago may be resumed April 3.
Davis said the policy advocated iy
the Boston Wool trade association
would be disastrous to rail transpor
tation by limiting further the railway
lines to short haul local traffic. He
maintained that wool growers' asso
ciations are not interested in through

voice and loves to sine.
Judge Kennedy is 4l years old. It is
an interesting side-light that 4il is the
age, also, of Owen D. Koberts, special
oil counsel fir the government, and
George P. Hoover of Washington, D.
C, one of the "big three" of defense
counsel, I
Headed West. J
Kennedy was born ut Commerce, 1
Mich., in 1S74. He attended the pub
lic schools, took the A. B, degree at
Franklin college, New Athens, O, and
was graduated in law from Syracuse
in 1ST!). He formed a partnership in
practice with his classmate, Kobirick
N. Matron, and in 1001 the firm mov
ed west, to Cheyenne to "grow up
with the country."
Kennedy was married in 190S to
Miss Anna Lyons of Cheyenne. They
have no children. For ten years be
served as referee in bankruptcy for
Wyoming. For several years he was
republican chairman for Laramie
county and thereafter became repub
lican state chairman.
Fraternally he is a Consistory
Mnson, an Elk and a Woodman of th
World. His reUgious affiliation is
Presbyterian.
No Corporate Interests.
Kennedy's practice has merely been
that of the average smnll town at
torney. He has had no special cor
porate connections but was frequently
counsel for large ranching interests.
The most prominent case with which
he wns ever identified was the trial
of Tom Horn, famous professional
man-killer. Kennedy was with the de
fense. Horn was convicted and wis
hanged.
Judge Kennedy fully appreciated
the state of public opinion concerning
the Teapot Dome case but it didn't
worry him. His attitude to the matter
was that of the judge, and he unhesi
tatingly ruled for the defense on
points of law, when the law wns with
the defense.
