In discussing the affair.". of the

ciated in the work. He called atten-
tion to the size and condition of the
city schools when he first came to
Bozeman, the growth in attendance
and the enlargement of the school IA
cilities to keep up with this increase
One of the pleasing bits of lnfOrma-
ton given the trustees was contained
in q communication received by Pro
fessor Cunningham from DR.. Winship
editor Of one Of the leading education
al journals of the country. In his
letter DIR. Winship stated that among
the thousands Of schools visited By
him throughout the country, none

RESOLUTION INTRODUCED IN HOUSE FOR

tion may become an incentive to give
exaggerated testimony or worse; and
Whereas, A law so pregnant with
possibilities for abuse can be admin
istered only by the most honest and
highest type of special officers; and
Whereas, The rumor has for a long
time been current in the state of Mon
tana that such special officers so en-
ployed by the state have not always
been of type to whom the state can
safely intrust the enforcement of the
prohibition law, in that it is current
rumor that one of said special officers,
now and for long time in the employ
of the state as a special officer and
as chief of the prohibition force of the
state of Montana at salary of $3, 900
has heretofore in federal court, been
convicted of accepting a bribe while
acting as an officer of the federal gov
ernment; that it is further widely
-rumored that another special officer
either now in the employ of the state
or heretofore in its employ is an ex-
convict of the Montana state prison,
and in the public press of the fourth
day of January, 1928, it was detailed
that federal authorities for Montana
had instituted condemnation proceed
ings against the automobile of this
same state prohibition officer for a
violation of the federal liquor laws,
and that he had been arrested for a
violation of the federal liquor laws;
that the records of the district court
of the First judicial district of the
state of Montana, in and for the coun-
ty of Lewis and Clark, win show that
another purported prohibition officer
of the state of Montana, had prior to
his employment as such been convict
: ed of a violation of the same law
that he was employed to enforce; and
Whereas, Such condition of af-
fairs, If it be true, is inimicaI to the
best interests of the state of Mon
tana, positively destructive of law en-.
forcement, and is contrary to ths
ideals of those who have the inter.
est of prohibition at heart.

Introduction of resolution by Rep
resentative Lester II Lobe of Lewis
and Clark county, attacking the state
prohibition force and demanding an
investigation of this department, fea-
tured the brief session of the house of
representatives this morning. Accord
ing to Loble's resolution, which was
referred to the committee on public
morals, rumor has it that special Of
ficers employed by the state board of
examiners to enforce the state pro-
hibition law, have mot been of a type
to whom the enforcement of the law
may be safely entrusted"
Loble charges in his resolution that
the chief of the prohibition force has
been convicted of accepting bribe
while acting as federal officer, that
it is rumored that another employe of
the force is an ex-convict and that a
third member of the department is
said to have been convicted of vio-
lation of the law he was hired to en-
force. Loble asks that committee
of five house members be named to
conduct an investigation of his
charges, such committee to have pow
er to call witnesses and examine them
under oath.
LOble's Resolution.
Representative Loble's resolutions
follow:
Whereas, The governor of the state
of Montana, in his comprehensive
message to this legislative assembly
pointed out that in some respects the
prohibition law is being violated and
in some localities not adequately or
properly enforced; and
Whereas, There may be honest diff
ferences of opinion as to the merits Of
this law, yet all good citizens agree
that so long as it is law it is the
duty of those in charge CT it's enforce
ment to employ every fair and legiti-
mate means to maintain and enforce
this law; and
Whereas, Our statutes now give tc
the board of examiners of the state
kof Montana the power to appoint spe.
cial officers, not to exceed six, for the
purpose Of enforcing this law, sucf
officers To be paid exclusively from
the law enforcement fund fun<
maintained solely from fines collcctea
from violators of this law; and

that may De subject' TO nsuch abuse

copy of Mr.. Hughes subsequent New
Haven speech had been delivered for
mally to the French embassy.
The departments statement was
prompted by press reports from Paris
stating that the French foreign office
had denied receipt of the American
plan.
The full text of the statement fol-
lows:
"The department of state said that
it could not credit such report and
believed that there was some inaccu
racy in its transmission. 1t was fur
ther said that the suggestion that
financial experts should be called in
in order to advise the governments
with respect to what Germany could
pay and what financial plan would be
advisable, was taken up by Secretary
Hughes directly with Ambassador
Jusserand some time prior to the Sec
retary's address at New Haven; that
the matter was discussed with the
French ambassador, who, it is under
stood, transmitted it to his govern
ment. The French ambassador pre-
sented to the secretary the observa-
tions of M. Poincare in reply. Sub
| sequently, when Secretary Hughes
made his speech in New Haven, he
delivered copy of it to the French
embassy for their information.
With regard to the taking of for
chile measures for the purpose of OBJ
| tanning reparations, it is not doubt
ed that the attitude of the American
| government is not well understood"
1t was pointed out that French of
ficials might have had in mind in
making whatever statement they did
a formal protest from the United
States against occupation OF the Ruhr
The word formal" has deep signifl-
I fcance IN diplomacy, 1t was added, anc
| it was true that the United States
had not presented any formal com
munication of that character. Yet IL
the light of the conver ations between
Secretary Hughes and Ambassador
Jusserand, and also in view of thu
flat expressions on the point by Sec
retary Hughes in his New Haven ad
! dress, it was added, the French au
thorities could not have the least mis-
, apprehension on the score Of tn
/, American attitude as to the repara
