The telephone line TO Bijou, Lake
Tahoe. was completed by Young Bros.
Tuesday and this section now. has wire
communication with Lake Valley
points. convenience that has long
been needed.
Last fall Mrs. Anita Baldwin, who
owns summer home at Fallen Leaf
Lake, had under consideration the
erection OF a telephone line from her
home to Gardnerville. but finally
abandoned the project. AS soon as her
final announcement was made, Young
Brothers. who own and operate sum-
mer resort and store at Biiou, took up
the proposition and started work on
the line, but before it was completed
heavy snow came and the work was
postponed. For the past several weeks
a crew Of men have been at work
stringing wire and setting poles.
This work was completed Tuesday and
the line connected with the United
Farmers Telephone system at Van
Sickle's ranch.
The building of the new telephone
line to Lake Tahoe recalls an early
day enterprise, when telegraph line
once connected Virginia City and Sac
ramento. the route leading through
Genoa and over the Kingsbury grade
to Placerville. The late A. C. Pratt
had charge of the Genoa Office and
station was also conducted at Edge
wood. then known as Avril's. a stage
station few miles this side of Bijou.
In building the new telephone line,
evidence Of the old telegraph line was
found. On many trees blocks were
found that had at one time held the
telegraph insulators, two of the latter
having been picked up on the route.
Young Brothers are to be CON-
mended for their enterprise in build
ing the new telephone line, which will
be of valuable benefit. not only to the
people of Lake Valley. but those of
this community as we'll.

WILDES TO BE
PLACED ON CARPET

Assembly Concurrent Resolution z,
reported as substitute for A. r. 81.
introduced by Assemblyman Byers on
Monday afternoon, passed the lower
house Tuesday, says the Carson City
News. The new resolution eliminates
the opinion that Wildes was guilty of
"wilful and deliberate perjury" ex-
pressed, in the Byers resolution. and
reads as follows:
Whereas, On the 10th, 1lth, and 18th
days of March, 1921, the legislature of
the State of Nevada was convened in
joint session for the purpose of hear
ing and deciding upon certain charges
which had been duly and regularly
filed against one Frank p. I.angan as
judge of the district court of the first
judicial district of the State of Ne
yada, and
whereas, During the course of such
hearing, one, Frank l.. Wildes, since
May, 1908. the receiver of the State
Bank 4 Trust Company, was called,
sworn, and examined as a witness be-
fore said joint session on behalf of
the said Frank p Langan, and
Whereas, II is proper that the testi-
mony so given by Frank l.. Wildes
should be investigated by court OF

Removal Charges Against
Judge Langan Not Sustained

He TcIlOfdl CudTBeS dBalHst fTdik
p. I.angan. Judge OF the First Judi
cial District of Nevada. an outcome OF
alleged negligence in the conduct of
the affairs OF the State Bank & Trust
Company, which started before the Ne
vada legislature last Friday, termi-
mated Monday when the final vote of
both houses showed. that the neces-
sary two-thirds votd for his removal
was not secured to support the con-
tentions of the legislative committee
that asked for his dismissal
Judge Langan was represented be-
fore the legislature by Sam Platt.
while l.. B. Fowler, Attorney General
and his deputy, Robert Richards, acted
of the state. Testimony and evidence
was completed Saturday and the as
sembly. after short recess, recon-
veped and resulted in the following
vote:
Against remoyal-F'all. Fulton, King

For removal - Addenbrook, Arnold,

action and the matter came up for

suit:
Against remoyal-Penrose. Dressler,
Miller. Hesson. Harrington. Kenney,
Kent and Ducey.
Fors removal - Cowles. Griffith,
Rand, Chaplin, Macallan, Fitzgerald,
Scott, Uniacke. and Sheehan.
While a majority of both houses
voted for the removal of Judge Lam
gan from office. the law requires a
two-thirds vote and as a consequence
he will remain In Office.
The law requires that removal
charges against judges shall be heard
by both legislative houses in joint ses-
sion and two-thirds vote is required
to remove the official. The wording
of the law Is such that question re-
mains whether 1t requires a two
thirds vote of the total membership
of the legislature or separate vote of
both houses. The legislature decided
upon the latter, and in this respect the
attorney general has the following to
say:
1 "a m xtfb al In Annhf n
effect of the action of the senate
aud assembly on the Langan re-
moval resolution. Section three of
article seven of the state constitu-
tion Is susceptible of two construc-
tions. One construction Is, voting
separately each house must have
two-thirds vote to confirm re-
moyal action.
The other construction which may
be placed on the section is that the
elected membership OF each branch
of the legislature shall be added
and two-thirds of the total shall be
required for confirmation of re-
moval action.
II the latter construction can be
supported. Langan is removed from
office. II the former construction
is correct. Judge Langan is still in I
office. The remarks of ]. Nealy

construction. Constitutional debate

Court Order Issued
In Bank Case
"A special dispatch to the Reno Ga
zette from Carson City, dated March
IA says that court order directing all
attorneys and the receiver in the State
Bank Q Trust Company case to appear
Bank & Trust Company case to appear
In court on March 21 at 10:30 O'Clock
and take up the question of reports
and also the question of dissolving
the receivership was issued by Judge
Frank p. Iangan.
The order followed closely the ac-
ton of the senate in the Langan case
and, according to interested parties.
indicates that Langan intends to clear
up the bank case muddle.
Copies OF the order will be served
on Receiver Frank L. Wildes and all
attorneys interested.
To Investigate
Wildes' Testimony
Prosecution of Frank l.. Wildes. re-
ceiver Of the State Bank & Trust Com
pany. upon a charge of perjury, is
sought In resolution introduced in
the assembly by Bartlett of Elko coun-
ty. The resolution directs the attor-
ney general to examine into the facts
connected with the testimony given by
Wildes before the legislative commit
tee investigating the affairs of the
State Bank & Trust Company and the
testimony given by him before the
legislature when he was called as
witness in the Langan hearing.
II is alleged by members of the as
sembly that Wildes declared before
the investigating committee several
days ago that Judge Frank p. Lam
gan advised him not to file certain
reports in regard to the bank receiver
ship.
At the hearing before the point ses-
sion of the house and senate, wildes
denied that he made such statements
to the investigating committee.
Byers moved the adoption of the
resolution and after considerable dis
cussion Meder moved that 1t be refer
red to the Judiciary committee. The
resolution providing for the payment
OF the expenses of the investigation
and probable prosecution from funds
provided by the legislative appropria-
ton bill. The resolution also con-
tanned a clause stating that Wildes
was guilty of wilful perjury.
Howard stated that this clause
should be stricken out and 1t was ex-
planned that the judiciary committee
would make the correction II IL was
found necessary.
The resolution states that on March
10. IL. and IL the legislature In Joint
session heard the removal proceedings
against Judge Langan and that Wildes
receiver of the State Bank & Trust
Company since May. 1908, was called
as a witness, and that in giving testi-
mony at that hearing he was guilty of
wilful perjury.
