LAWYERS FAVOR CHANGE
BAR ASSOCIATION ON DIsBAR.
MENT PROCEEDINGS.
Will Ask Legislature to Take Power
Away from Lower Court.
New Officers.

Helena, Jan. 14.-At it's annual
meeting held in this city tonight the
Montana State Bar association adopt
ed a resolution which will later be
presented to the legislature recon-
mending that the power of conducting
disbarment proceedings be taken
away from district courts and that the
right be vested solely in the supreme
court. The theory of this resolution
is that the supreme court in the first
place grants the lawyer the right to
practice before the bar of the state
and that it is not justice that he
should be deprived by a lower court
of something that has been originally
granted by the supreme tribunal of
the state.
There was only limited oposition
to the resolution and it passed by a
large majority. Those opposed to it
did not oppose it in it's entirety, but

to maintain an impartial attitude in

The governor says the courts alone

Chicago, Jan. 14-Tom Sharkey
and Jack Munroe met here this after
noon for the purpose of arranging the
details of a fight. Munroe is anxious
to take on Sharkey, and the sailor is
equally anxious to meet the big min
er. Discussion of the details of the
match occupied some time, and they
were not fully agreed upon.
Munroe arrived in the city this
morning, accompanied by Clark Ball,
his manager, direct from st. Paul.
sharkey arrived here last night from
New York for the express purpose Of
meeting Munroe and clinching the
proposed match between them. The
two men were brought together and
the match was practically arranged.
Sharkey was accompanied by Jack
Mccormick. Mr.. Ball informed
Sharkey that he held an offer of a
$4,000 purse before the club in Butte,
Mont, where Munroe met Jeffries.
The purse is guaranteed by two or
three millionaire mine owners. The
fight is to take place next June or
July. Bell declined to clinch the
match at present, owing to the the
atrical engagements of Munroe.
In the meantime Ball VII get
Tommy Ryan or some other good
fighter to train Munroe in the tricks
of the game. Munroe has the punch,
says Bell, but hasn't the science and
ring generalship.
Sharkey is willing to meet Munroe
any place in the country, but Chicago
is where he wants to fight. Any place
east of here would do, but he doesn't
want to go west.
