COUNTY ATTORNEY
TO ENFORCE LAWS

Attorney General S. C. Ford, who
just before being sworn iii on Janu-
airy 1st, Announced that he would
strictly enforce the laws of Montana
as regards the -ediight districts of
the state, ISSUED a letter last Satur-
day to the several county attorneys
of the state asking for report on
the redlight situation in their re-
spectivc districts and stating that if
the law with reference to houses of
i'll fame is being violated, that Il
stop be put to it at once.
In his letter he says:
This office is advised that the
laws of Montana relating to keeping
and residing in houses of ill-famc and
letting apartments and tenements for
such Uses, are habitually violated in
many sections of this state.
1T has been suggested that ary a.
tor taken looking to the enforce
ment of the law will result not in
the eHtirpation Of the evil, but in
scattering the inmates through resi-
Dental and business districts.
"You will instruct the officers un-
der your direction to take such steps
AS will prevent this and you will
proceed against the managers an(
proprietors of residence property. no
tells rooming houses and the like
which may be occupied in Violation
of the law"

Some idea of the character of legis-
lation to be expected may be gathered
from the notices of bills to be intro
duced which have been presented
in both houses. These notices in
clude bills providing for state insur-
ance of public buildings, bonding of
public officials by the state,revision
of primary law, constitutional con-
vention to revise the fundamental
law of the state, dividing the state
into congressional districts, establish
ment of terminal elevators, creating
local option herd law, protecting
crops against hail by state insurance,
dividing counties into commissioner
districts. revising the civil and penal
codes, which were revised last in
1907, providing fer regisJratioh of
land titles under the Torrens law,
regulating the hours of employment
for women, providing income tax, and
on other important matters.
When it is considered that the ses-
sion is scarcely one week old only
this line of bills shows that it is
going to be not only a busy 60 days
for the legislators but an epoch maxi
ing assembly.
That the matter of taxation and
raising revenues, especially the ques-
tion of mine tax, is going to play an
important part in the deliberations of
the body is proved by the action of
the senate, when it instructed the Re-
publican committee on committees to
name a special committee on taxation
to whom will be referred all tax bills.
Committee assignments were an
nounced in both houses Monday. Tues
day afternoon the sergeants-ata arms
had their forces busy assigning COM
mittee rooms and as result the mid
die of the week finds the legislature
with both houses organized and pre-
pared for real active work.
Speaking of the question of per-
sonal privilege, Senator John E. Ed
wards of Rosebud county, pointed out
the desirability of holding a consti-
tutional convention in the state of
Montana. explained the procedure
for calling such a gathering and des-
cribed the great progress that has
been made in the % years since the
convention was held and the changes
in conditions that have taken place.
The remarks were called forth oy an
editorial in the Butte Miner making
a violent and slurring attack on a
member of the State Senate who has
given notice of bill to provide for
submission to the people of the gues-
tion of holding such convention,
and of another editorial in the Hell
ena Independent opposing such a
gothering. Senator Hogan of Yellow
stone county has given notice of in
tention to introduce the bill.

MT. E. M Watson, one of the readers of the Independent this year produced an excellent crop of wheat He had fifteen acres that produced 375 bushels, an average of p bushels per acre, which is better than the general average of the. country. Mr. Watson, we are informed will put in as much as fifty acres this year and possibly more. He sold his crop this year for better than 5 DO a bushel. This goes to prove that the growing of heat on this section of the Grand Prairie is more profitable from a labor standpoint than many of the other crops.

Gamers Asked To Cut Prices

Washington, July 11-Canners of the country are asked to re- duce prices to as low a level as possible in a letter sent them by Herbert c. Hoover today, in which he warns that the ontpul of the home canneries, swelled to unusual proportions by req son of the back yard gardening campaigns. may prove serious embarrassment to the manufac- turers in disposing of this years product.
 If canners and jobbers per sist in asking high prices, says Mr. Hoover, they will find re- tailers carrying these high cost goods on their shelves for sue ceeding years and a depressed market for canned products"

BOIL WEEVILS
Showing Up in Many Fields Systematic
 Fight Made

The citizens, especially the merchants, are becoming alarm ed at the boil weeyil prospect in this section. The pests are found in scattered sections of many fields, with a tendency nat ura ly to spread. The authorities state that each pair of the first crop produce 2800 weevils in the second matching, which will take place within the next two weeks.
 Some of the merchants are re- quiring their tenants to go thru their fields and pick up all pune tured squares, even though they have not fallen to the ground It is believed that if this practice conld be made universal through out the district the next crop would be materially reduced And if this or something else is not done it is feared that the crop will be materially reduced.

We are in receipt of a letter from Mir. F. ]. Holmes of Route 1. in which he states that he is in hearty accord with the proposi- tion to put in a flour mill at this place He says that he will put in fifteen to twenty acres of wheat this fall if he can get the seed, which we think can be cas- fly obtained by sowing time. This like some other reports we have received is encouraging, and we believe there are many others that will plant anywhere from 10 to 20 acres each when they find that they can get a home market for their wheat crop. Let us hear from others as soon as possible giving the amount they can put in properly.

SETTLED DAMAGE CASE.
Passumpsic Telephone Co. Takes Suits
Out of Court.

st. Johnsbury, July l9.-The damage
case of Stanley f. Garfield against the
Passumpsic Telephone company, for
which jury was drawn in Caledonia
county court Monday, was settled yes
terday by counsel. Garfield sued for
$4,000 for alleged injuries received when
in the employ OF the defendant company,
and settlement was made with him and
Clayton Stone for $4,000, without costs.
Stone was injured at the same time and
brought suit for $4,000.
In Caledonia county court year ago,
Garfield obtained verdict for $4,000,
but the defendant company carried the
case to the supreme court and it was
for new TRAY. stones case,
a companion one to the Garfield case,

verdict given for $4,000. The telephone
company was to appeal it, but final
settlement was made yesterday, each
man receiving $4,000.
After disposal of this case court took
a recess until to-day and the Judges,

MAY MOVE GOVT.

The Russian Capital May Be.
Moved from Petrograd
to Moscow
CRISIS is NEAR IN
FIGHT FOR ORDER
Government Forces H ave
Posted Cannon at
Headquarters

Petrogrsd, July l9.-An extraordinary
cabinet council is discussing proposal
to transfer the seat of the provisional
government TO Moscow. NJ. Tseretelli,
minister of posts and telegraphs, said
yesterday that general assembly OF the
workmen, soldiers and peasants would be
held at Moscow to prevent interference
from an irresponsible section of the Pet
rograd garrison. The general staff build
ings and the winter palace square are
the headquarters for the government
forces, which have posted cannon. The
feeling is that the decisive stage between
the forces of order and disorder is rapid
ly approaching.
By agreement between the soldiers and
workmen's deputies and the remaining
of the cabinet, the question of
replacing the retiring ministers has been
held in allegiance pending the suppression
Of the Bolsheviki element, which has kept
the city in turmoil. The government
evidently considers it unwise for the
safety of the city to oppose the radicals
with force until it is absolutely neces-
,ary; but there is little doubt that it has
enough support easily to suppress up
,isings.

RELAToR OF BATTLE FOUND.
Charles E. Knapp, Dishonorably Dis
charged Naval Man, Arrested.

Passaic, n. j., July l9.-The man who
started rumors of disaster to American
warships, which grew into wild reports
that the New York naval hospital was
oyercrowded with wounded men, is be-
lieved to have been found in the person
of Charles E. Knapp. District Attorney
Lynch has obtained confession from
Knapp, which is said to contain vivid
picture OF the imaginary blowing up of
an American dreadnought. The prisoner,
who was sentenced to year in Jail on
charge of disorderly conduct, proba bly,
will be the subject of federal grand
jury investigation.
Knapp's purpose in spreading the
story, it is said, was to profit financial
ly from sympathy he aroused by claim
ing to be one of the survivors OF the
battle" He pleaded his begging oper-
ations successfully among sailors, sol
diers and marines, it is said.
When arrested, Knapp was wearing
the uniform of chief gunner's mate,
and had five re-enlistment stripes on
his sleeves. Lieutenant w. J. Moses in
charge of navy recruiting in Newark
found that Knapp was dishonorably dis
charged from the U. S. S. Hancock in
1909.

CANADIANS BoMBARDED.
Germans Are Pouring in Heavy Fire
Near Avlon.

| Canadian army headquarters in France,
increase during the past AS hours in the
volume of the enemy's fire all around the
Lens salient from hill 70 ON the north to
Avlon on the south. In some places the
German fire was of the nature usually
preceding an assault, but the enemy's
object was the destruction of our trenches
and positions in the ruined houses in
preparation for an attack.
Vimy, three miles from the nearest
German battery, was bombsrded with
high explosives, 600 shells falling in
relatively small space. Avlon and points
to the north almost as far up the line as
vermelles, were subjected to fire of great
intensity.
The enemy's observation was better
than for some time past, eight balloons
and many airships being engaged in spot
ting for his gunners.
The Canadian artillery was not divert
ed by the German activity from its ap-
pointed task of methodeallv destroying
the euemy's trenches and defensive lines
In this work much progress was made
during the day as well as in counter
battery operations.
The Germans during the night put
down bsrrsge along large part of the
front in the belief that an advance was
imminent, but no infantry action fol-
lowed

TWO EXPECTED TO DIE.
As Result of Collision Between Motor
cycle and Load of Hay.

Manchester, n. H., July l9.-One, and
probably two, men will die as the result
of a collision on the state boulevard be-
tween this city and Hooksett late last
night.
A load of hay being driven toward
Manchester by Napoleon Larouche and
his son was run into from the rear by
motorcycle on which Joseph Groleau of
l0l Putnam street and Romeo Proven
cher of p Wayne street were riding. 1t
is evident that neither cyclist saw the
load of hay.
Young Larouche was thrown from his
seat on the hay into the street. Both
of the cyclists were hurled headlong with
terrific force and were picked up by po-
lice who arrived with the city ambulance.
Both men were taken to Sacred Heart
hospital. They are in critical condi-
tion.

HIS TROOPS DRIVEN
BY EARLY ATTACK
Russian Offensive in Galicia
Has Run into a
Snag

While the world is waiting with keen
interest declaration of policy by the
new German chancellor in the Reich
stag, the military forces are engaged in
operations of major Importance only
along the front in eastern Galicia. Re-
ports from there indicate a lessening of
the speed of the Russian drive and there
has been a recession at one point.
On the French front in northern
France, few days pass without an effort
on the part of the Germans to get back
some of the valuable territory wrenched
from them in the spring offensive. A
new field was chosen for the attempt
last night just to the south of st. Quen-
tin. General Petain's forces were taken
aback at first and yielded some ground
in the first line, but rallied quickly and
drove the Germans out of the greater
part of the positions.

IRISH PAPER SEIZED.
Kilkenny People Has Been in Trouble
with Censors Before.

Dublin, July l9.-The newspaper Kill
kenny People was seized and suppressed
yesterday by the police and military au-
thorities. This paper is an important
local weekly conducted by Edward I,
Keane, an active politician since the days
of Psrnel and now chairman OF the local
Sim Feiners.
The paper has had frequent difficulties
with the censorship, but IL is felt here by
good judges that its seizure on the eve of
the parliamentary election to replace
Patrick 0Brien, Nationalist, who died
July II, will assist the Sim Feiners and
prejudice any constitutional candidate.
The Sim Feiners held meeting last
night under the chairIhanship of Mr..
Keane and selected as their candidate
for the Kilkenny seat w. r. Cosgrave,
who was recently released from prison.
Cosgrave was one of the rebels and was
sentenced to death, but this was com
muted to life imprisonment, and he was
finally released under the order of the
government.
