WashIngton-Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts, in the course of his
speech Saturday in opposition to
Federal Trade Commission bill de-
nounced his proposed dissolution of
the New Haven system. "Any at
tempt to dismember this great net
work of railroads." he declared, lis
nothing less than a crime against
the New England States as we'll as
against the railroad compa n l e 8
themselves.
He predicted that the Government
would fail in It's suit to divorce the
New Haven from the Boston &
Maine and said that the proposal to
dissolve the great railroad system
into hundreds of the constituent
parts which they have been built up
is an absurdity. 1.-THE New Haven
suit has now been brought appar-
emily not because the law has been
violated but because in the opinion
of those in authority such a suit
should be brought. This would be
all right if we had an all wise ruler
but under present conditions it is
otherwise"

werIng Weeks admitted that an at.
tempt to break up hundreds of con-
solicitations would bring about chaos.

Indian song, and one of the inter

hero of an old legend, who had dis

some white mans jail. Blaekfoot
mothers have been singing tleir
children to sleep with a song about
him ever since.
Officials of the Indian office, adj
vised Of the discovery, began an in
vestigation, which resulted in his
pardon.
Spopee was charged with tue
murder of white man near the
Canadian boundry north of the Mon

partment Of Justice that the murder
probably was committed In Canada
and that the territorial courts Of
Montana which tried him at Fort
Benton bad no jurisdiction.
Moreover, it is now believed that
Spopee committed the murder In
self-defense. He and another In

man for food. Their request was
denied, and the white man denouu-
ced Spopee, finally ASSEMBLING him
