Car Supply Adequate
in Waller District

Special to The Tribune.
Waller, Oct. 12.-The international
elevator was shut down two days this
week when the weighing apparatus was
put out of commission due to an over
load. An expert from Great Falls
was called and after an all night shift
reported the scales in working order
again.
Threshing on the Waller project is
practically complete and grain hauling
has begun in earnest. The Montana
Western railroad has been able to sup
ply sufficient cars to keep the elc-
vators at Waller operating thus far
and the danger of a blockade seems
past for this year.
Very little stock is being shipped
from Waller this year, most OF it
shipping from Pendroy or Agawam,
where better car service is being
obtained.

WOMEN VOTERS WILL
STAGE BIG DEBATE
Kiwanis Club to be Entertained by the
Ladies-Methodist Pastor
Addresses Meeting.

The League Of Women Voters held a
regular meeting at the City Hall Thurs
day, Feb. 9th. There was splendid
attendance and a great deal of interest
shown in the program for the after
noon.
In order that the ideal of developing
in the women a type of Christian citi-
zenship which shall stand in the COM
munity and the state for morals, for
uplift and for God, should never be for
gotten, the League had invited Brother
Lewis to address the meeting on the
subject of THE Duties of Women as
Christian Citizens" His speech was
earnest and practical, inspiring and full
of hope that the new citizens of the
country will justify their admission to
public affairs. His remarks brought
forth applause when he stated that he
anticipated great good from the work
of the Voters League in the state. At
other times the women hope to hear
from all the various ministers and cler-
gymen of the town.
There was lot of business transact
ed but the greatest interest was center
ed in the report Of the arrangement
committee for the coming entertain
ment of the Kiwanis Club, which comes
off some night during the last week in
February. 1t is to be held in the sub
story of the Methodist church at seven
o'clock and is to include chorus, mu-
sic, a doll drill, a one-act play, staging
a typical meeting of the League, which
includes debate on the question RE
solved, that the old-fashioned house
wife is more vital to the progress of
the community than the League Of Wo-
men Voters" There is to be a very
spirited discussion on this topic by the
women themselves then the house will
be opened to general discussion, and it
is believed that both sides will proba-
bly, be defended by some Of the men
present. Possibly a jury of three men
will be called to decide the question.
Even If nothing definitely can be set
tied, there will be plenty Of fun any
way.
A resolution endorsing a bill to be
presented to the legislature by Mr..
Love of Hattiesburg to grant the towns
of the state the privilege Of voting on
the Commission Manager type Of gov
ernment was passed and the petition
signed by all the women present.
Mrs. Hollands reported for the COM
mittee on national affairs, Mrs. Rose
Parsons for the committee on state af-
fairs, Mrs. Noodle reported the work
done in collecting poll tax. There were
a number of good reports in the current
topic discussion.
Meeting adjourned until Feb. 23rd.

PROBE RESOLUTION
is STILL WITHHELD
Cool Heads Restrain Move to Invssti-
gate GIRLS Seduction Charge
Against Governor.

No resolution demanding legislative
investigation of the charges against
Governor Lee NJ. Russell, in connection
with the 100000 damage suit alleging
seduction, filed against the chief exec
utive by Miss Francis Birkhead, was
introduced in either house or senate
yesterday. Cooler heads of the conser-
vative anti-administration faction pre-
vailed for the time at least and pre-
vented the launching of the probe which
might arouse a belief that the govern
or was being made the victim of poll
teal persecution.
It is known, however, that the ques-
ton is not yet finally settled, nor the
purpose of certain of the legislators
yet abandoned to initiate an official in
quiry. For the time being it is in a
beyance while the legislature is making
a three day trip to the cities on the
coast and in the southern part of the
state. The veterans hope to prevail on
the proponents of the resolution, how
ever, to drop the movement for inquiry
and submit the decision of the young
womans allegations to the judicial
hearing of the Federal court. The next
L
this district will convene in Jackson in
May.
Further interesting development last
night was the statement by the COVER
nor that he and Mrs. Russell would
leave with the legislative party for the
south this morning and join in the tour
of inspection of the state institutions
in Magee, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Colum-
bia, Gulfport and Beauvoir. 1t was also
reported that Theo. G. Bilbo would
make the trip, but it was not stated
that he would be a member of the exec
utive's party.
Both Governor Russell and ex-Gov-
eronor Bilbo were moving around the
Edwards Hotel lobby last night carry
ing on informal conferences with small
groups of friends and followers.
The chief topic of conversation a.
mong Legislators last night was turned
upon the enjoyment of the excursion
which begins at 6 o'clock this morning
and will end on the return Of the spec
ial train to Jackson Sunday night.
Members of both houses of the legis-
lature have put in long hours Of grind
during the present week over some very
vexing problems and they welcome the
opportunity which the trip affords to
combine pleasant diversion with an
inspection which will inform them upon
the condition of the state institutions.
These institutions have in every case
undergone changes since the last ses-
sion and the results of the state bond
commissions expenditures and work
will furnish interesting subjects of OBJ
servation and consideration.
