The communication was referred to
tho committee on privileges and elec-

motion to refer to standing commit
tee of the house had carried over Hig-
gins effort to have the bill go to the
judiciary committee. During recess
Representative Higgins secured from
Attorney General Ford an opinion as
regards the constitutionality Of the
governors action. Mr.. Ford holds this
to be in contravention Of the constitu-

Attorney Generals Opinion.
Hon. Ronald Higgins,
House Of Representatives.,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Sir:
You have submitted the following
question:
Is the governor authorized to
fill. by appointment. a vacancy in
the house of representatives caused
by the death Of a member of that
house?" n
Section As. article 5, of the con-
stitution Of Montana, provides:
when vacancies occur in either
house. the governor or the person
exercising the functions of the gov
ernor. shall issue writs Of election
and till the same."
Section 422 of the Revised Codes
of 1907, provides as follows:
Whenever a vacancy, or failure
to elect by reason Of tie vote, oc-
ours in either house OF the legis-
lative assembly, the governor must
at once issue a writ of election to
fill such vacancy"
am therefore Of the opinion that
the governor of this state Is with
out authority to fill vacancies in
the house of representatives caused
by the death of member.
Respectfully.

Higgins Remarks Pertinent.


This is az extraordinary a proceed.
ing as has ever been put over in a
Montana Legislature" said Mr. Higgins.
1T Is to my knowledge the first time
That the executive branch of govern
mcnt has attempted to interfere with
the legislative branch. There is no
authority anywhere for the governor
to take action such as this. Tho con-
stitution of the state OF Montana pro-
vldes that the governor shall issue a
writ of election in case Of a vacancy.
His action In this case is nothing but
an unwarranted assumption of author
ity.
Il also object to the individual Sc
'lected by the governor without any
precedent or authority. The swarthy
and suave gentleman was n member
OF the Silver Bow delegation during
the 1913 session. I was also n dele
gate at that time. He is an astute man
and would be a worthy supporter of
those interests We have heard so much
spoken about of late. Ever since the
beginning Of this session he has been
in the employ and pay Of practically
the largest corporation in the state
and it has been his purpose to thwart
the passage Of the laws asked for by
the people of this state. Allowing him
to take his seat would be the same as
granting the privilege of the floor to
n spokesman of the Amalagamated
copper company. who is thereby en-
powered to sit in this house and to
speak and vote on all measures coming
before this body.
Il recall six years ago in this lcgis-
lative assembly when the question of
selecting United States senator was
up for consideration. One of the rep
rcsentatives from one Of the eastern
counties died and the governor ut that
time made no attempt to make an ap-
pointment. Party lines have been al
most entirely done away with and
there can be no reason on that ground
why such vacancy should now be
filled.
Il claim II to be an impudence on
the part of the governor OF this state
II this vacancy Is to be filled it is the
province of this body to say by whom
1t shall be filled. An election is the
only way in which 1t can be legally
filled and the governor may only issue
a writ for such election. This action
indicates that the influences we have
heard so much abou. are still at work

DECLARES WAR
AGAINST GERMANY...ACT RE-
CEIVES LARGE MAJORITY
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT.

Washington. April 6:-The United
States today accepted Germany's
challenge to war and formally aban-
doned it's place as the greatest neu-
tral of a world in arms.
President Wilson at lis o'clock
(oficlal time) this afternoon signed
the resolution of Congress declaring
the existence of a state of war. and
authorizing and directing the Chief
Executive to employ all the resources
of the nation to prosecute hostilities
against the German Government to
a successful termination.
The act was done without cere.
mony and only in the presence of
members Of the Presidents family.
Word was flashed Immediately to all
army and navy stations and to vessels
at sea, and orders for further pre-
cautionary steps withheld until the
last moment were dispatched.
The President signed the resolu-
ton with pen handed to him by
Mrs Wilson and which he will pre-
serve. The President then went to

an appeal. Capt Klattenhoff has ne
YER been allie to appear for trial. 1t
is understood the Germans will be
sent to- Georgia, there to be interned
in detention camp during the period
of the war. They were arrested as
alien enemies from aboard a German
ship. The recent secret service raid
here had no connection with their
apprehension, it is stated. Other ar.
rests of alien enemies are expected
to develop here at any time.

so were discussed. These total S474,-
900. 900, including the 1924, 900. 900
of Panama canal bonds Authorized,
but not issued. Announcement by
Secretary McAdoo as to the details
of one or more of these issues is ex-
pected shortly, possibly within twen-
ty-four hours.
Financial and other cooperation
with Entente governments is one of
the chief topics under consideration
by the Council of National Defense,
and plans looking to the issuance of
loans to the Allies are expected to
take definite form within the near
future. Opinions as to the amount
of the first loan vary between $780,
900, 900 and S. 900, 100000.
An official deputation from Great
Britain. probably one from France
and possibly others from other AL
lied governments, will visit the Unit
ed States shortly to assist in formu-
lating definite program adequate
to meet the most pressing needs of
the Allies.
Secretary McAdoo, member of the
House ways and means committee
and Chairman Simmons, of the Sen
ate finance committee. will begin
conferences tomorrow on the prob
lem of meeting the war needs Of
this country.
Itseemed likely tonightthat alarge
percentage of the war bill will be
raised by greatly increased taxation
and that whatever bond issues are
necessary will be placed through the
Federal Reserve Board or raised by
popular subscription or by both
methods. and there would be no ap-
peal whatever to the big private
banking interests of the country to
underwrite any part of the issue.

OFFERED
FOR LABOR SCOUTS
ACTS OF DISLOYALTY TO STATE
AND NATION ALSO TO BE
SUPPRESSED.

Gov Manning has offered a re.
ward of $50 for the apprehension
and conviction of labor agents, who
are enticing negroes from this State
to other States. The Governor in
his proclamation sets forth the fact
that false promises have been held
out to the negroes as 10 the wages
and other conditions in the North
and other centres where they have
been lured by false promises.
The Governor says that the ne.
groes themselves are suffering be.
cause of the false representations,
which are being made to them to in.
Guce them to leave the South and
gather in centers where they are dy-
ing in large numbers because of ex-
listing conditions. He takes this &C.
tion also because of protection to
the farmers who are being incon-
venienced in many sections by short
age of labor. The Governor also
stresses the fact that this year above
all others everything should be done
to grow all the food stuffs and crops
possible and he urgently asks that
any one having knowledge of any
person or persons enticing labor to
notify him or officers of the law.
There is a State statute against
enticing labor and this is called to
the attention of the public.
The Governor sent word to each
of the As Sheriffs in the State in Of
fering this reward and urged them
to use every means to put a stop to
activities of labor agents.
In his communication to the
Sheriffs the Governor also asked

terward for the arrest of sixty ring
leaders in German plots and in

Complete mobilization of the navy,

colors, was ordered by Secretary
Daniels as soon as the war resolu-
ton was signed. The War Depart
ment, already having taken virtually
every step contemplated before

tary Baker conferred with Chairman
Dent, of the House military COM
mittee, and arranged to appear be-
fore the committee tomorrow to dis

Whereas, the National and State
governments are urging citizens to
use all projections for conserving

our country,
And, whereas, our personal inter
ests and public welfare require US to
employ every possible means in en-.
couraging and upholding all general
and special movements to eliminate
waste and to reduce living expenses
in view of the solemn conditions now
confronting us and our nation:
Now, therefore. .I,W R Scott, May.
or of the Town of Kingstree, do call
upon and urge all citizens of the COM
munity to adopt and apply every pos
sible means and agency in conserving
and protecting our present resources
and increasing our food production,
and to this end do | specially urge
you to extend your home garden op-
erations, planting and diligently cul-
tivating all available space. not only
in vegetables for summer consump-
ton, but also in substantial products
capable of preservation for use dur
ing the winter months. Not only will
this suggestion,if carried into effect,
reduce the present abnormal high
cost of living, and thereby add to
your health and happiness, but it will
also in some measure curtail our re-
QUESTIONS on other portions of the

ments of our government during the

ldiosyncrasies of Writers.

Few writers are without personal peculiarities in the manner and time of their composition. Often they be- lieve that these idiosyncrasles have an important bearing on the quality of the work of writing. and recommend them to others. Of living writers we hear every month or so that he, or she, cannot compose except while rid Ing horseback or rowing a boat, or locked up in a room without food. Some writers are frank enough to ac- nOwledge that they regard their wors as a business and carry 1t on. inspira- tion or no, in an office, surrounded by sordid commercialism. But wherever and however done the work turned out seems to be little affected by the time and place of doing it.

Use Frog Legs in Wireless Teleoraphy.

The latest turn of science in the electrical field is to the utilization of animals instead of metals for the pur- pose of recording messages taken from the air. Going back to the earliest days of electrical investigation, 1t was noted that the savants experimented with frogs legs, so the practice was taken up in connection with wireless telegraphy It is found that by con meeting the sciatic nerve of the frogs leg with the microphonic circuit of the receiver, an ideal detector Is obtained. One end of the leg Is fixed to base and the opposite end connected with pivoted lever so as to record on slowly revolving paper-covered drum the contraction of the muscles caused by the electric impulses. In expert menting along this line 1t also has been discovered that the human stom- ach Is extremely sensitive to electric shocks and that it will better detect light shocks than any galvanometer or similar device now in use.
