JUDGE RULES
 CLAIMS OUT OF
 COURT RECORD
Reading of Claims Which Had Been Approved by Former
 Warden Is Halted
CBr Thc 1lssoeiatcd Press,


 HELENA, Mont, Apr. 19.-An at. temnt of the state to read into the record many thousands of dollars Of prison claims which had been ap- proved by former Warden Frank Con lev and paid by the state was halted this afternoon by Judge A. J. Horsky, presiding at the suit for accounting in which it is altered the veteran pen itentiarv officials owe Montana more than $SOO,OOO.
 Deputy State Auditor William A. Logan had started to read the claims when Colonel C. B. Nolan objected on the ground that the matters referred to in the documents had nothing to do with the first cause of action, which is the one now under consider "tion Attorney General Wellington D. Rankin and his associate, J. w. Freeman, argued the claims should he admitted because many of them had to do with feed and produce re- lated to the action for recovery on the various state leased ranches.
 The attorney general told the court the state was anticipating the defense He said the state would prove Conley had not only used produce raised on the states rfnches to feed horses and cattle belonging to the firm of Con- 1ey & McTague, but had purchased large quantities Of feed on the outside for which the state paid.
 Judge Horsky ruled that if it were desired to use their claims as evi- dence in the first cause of action, they should be used in rebuttal.

TARIFF BILL
 WILL COME UP
 BEFORE SENATE
Measure Will Be Brought Up Today, But Program
 Is Indefinite

WASHINGTON, Apr. 19.-The ad- ministration tariff bill is to be called up tomorrow in the senate. but in the absence of Senator McCumber, Republican, North Dakota, who is to have charge of it, the program for its consideration was tonight some what indefinite.
 Senator McCumber was returning tonight from his home in North Da- kota, and planned to be on hand in [ time to pilot the bills course from the outset. Some senators on the finance committee hoped that the us- ual reading of the measure could be dispensed with, but since this would require unanimous consent, they were not very optimistic.
 If the reading of the 440 page doc ument is insisted upon, there will not be much more than that accom- plished tomorrow With the reading over, or dispensed with, the usual pro cedure would be for McCumber to make the opening address, explaining the work Of his committee majority Generally, on a bill of this magnitude there would be two or three weeks of general debate, but the practice in this case may be discarded.
 Senator Simmons of North Carroll ma, ranking Democrat on the finance committee, said today the minority report would not be ready tomorrow He will open the general Democratic onslaught on the measure. but it is not now certain when he will speak

PARIS. Apr. l9.- The treatv be- tween Germany and Russia. signed at Rapallo last Sunday, probably will be formally placed before the renara. tions commission next Friday when the commission will besin an inquiry to determine whether the agreement conflicts with the treaty of Versailles.

 While the members of the comms- son refrained from formally comment ing upon the agreement, the general feeling was that the agreement ought to have been submitted to tn commits sion for approval.
