ALBRIGHT SAYS VEL
LOWSTONE PARK TO
OPEN ON JUNE 70

Livingston, May THE Yellow
stone National park will be officially
opened June 20. This announcement
was made here by Superintendent
Horace M. Albright, who has just
returned from a winters service as
assistant to Stephen T. Mather, di-
rector of national parks at Washing
ton, d. C. The official opening cere-
monies have been planned by a spe-
cial committee from the Livingston
chamber of commerce who will be as
sisted by a committee cf Gardiner
business men. The tentative plans
for the exercises attendant upon
swinging open the big gates at Car
diner were discussed with the super
intendent, who is in hearty accord
with the arrangements thus far made.
Mr.. Albright said that estimates
based as high as $4,000 increase, or
100000 visitors for 1924 were not
greatly exaggerated in proportion
to the 1928 Yellowstone Park tourist
season. He said there would be as
many visitors from California as
were admitted from Montana in
1923, in giving an idea of the increase
from various sections.
Superintendent and Mrs. Albright
and their two children arrived TIES
day afternoon and returned to make
their summer home at Mammoth Hot
Springs Wednesday morning.

CANNOT Use LIQUOR
SEIZED AS EVIDENCE
COURT HOLDS

Helena.-The Montana supreme
court granted c. c. Saddler, arrest
ed at Great Falls on a charge of vio-
lating the liquor laws, a writ pre-
hibiting the use of liquor and other
articles seized from him, as evidence
at his trial which is pending in the
district court. The supreme court
held that Saddler's arrest was illeg-
al, being accomplished by two prl-
vate citizens without there existing
probable cause that Saddler was
committing a crime. The two citl-
zens, who were in the employ of state
prohibition officers, followed Saddler
on the train from Sweet Grass to
Great Falls. They engaged him In
conversation and were told by him,
they alleged, that Saddler had made
three trips from Canada since
Thanksgiving day, last, and that II
certain person were elected governor
general of liquor at Alberta, che,
Saddler, would make more money
than any man in the state Of Mon
tana."
When Saddler alighted at Great
Falls, he was arrested by N. A. Whit
taker and a man named Larson and
a hand grip he was carrying was tax
en- from him. The grip was found
to contain liquor and a revolver. AS

to be reached, if the President is
opposed to Muscle Shoals going to
Henry Ford, then the President has
no standing or influence with the Re

voters, except Henry Ford.

MITTEE

Senator Magnus johnson of Min
nesota has introduced a resolution
citing the failure of the Packers and
StOckyards Act Administration to en-
force the law and quoting from the
testimony brought out before the
House Committee on Expenditures
in the Department of Agriculture,
asking the Chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee to inform the
Senate, what contributions. if any,
the big five meat packers-Armour
Wilson, Swift, Morris, and Cudahy,
have made to the Republican National
Committee in 1920 and since, and the
amounts contributed by each. This
resolution has been referred to a Sen
ate subcommittee an Agriculture.
composed of Senators johnson, Nc
Kinley, of Illinois, and Caraway of
Arkansas, which is expected soon to
make favorable report on the reso-
luticn. Of course, the Chairman of
the Republican National Committee
will not be obligated to report these
facts but the fact remains that every
one knows the meat packers have
made large contributions to the Re
publican National Committee, that
the Republican National Committee
debt is largely paid off, that the Pac-
kers and StocByards Act has been
enforced.

The House Committee on Expendi
lures in the Department of AgricUl
ture IS continuing its investigation oil
the administration of the Packers
and StOckyards Act. Congressman
Beck of Wisconsin recently stated tt
the Committee his experiences anC
directly charged the Secretary of Ag.
rlculture with responsibility for the
conditions in the Department. He
stated:
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
ace appears to be trying to block
the investigation which this COM
mittee on Expenditures in the
Department of Agriculture, Gre
ated by Congress, is making of
the expenditures by the Packers
and StOckyards Administration
in his Department.
Il have been inclined to exon
crate the Secretary of Agricul-
ture of any responsibility for
conditions in the Packers and
StOckyards Administration, but
the following facts compel me to
hold him responsible for failure
to enforce the Packers and
StOckyards Act:
Il. Secretary Wallace accuses
the present and former employ
ees of his Department who gave
us specific information regarding
the administration of the Pac-
kers' and StOckyards Act of hav-
ing brain storms, being cratic
and incapable of doing team
work.

by letter to transmit to the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the
Department of Agriculture the
reports and documents showing
the actual administration of the
Packers & StOckyards Act, I'M
der the pretext that is cOnfden-
cial.
Under the circumstances / am
obligated to hold Secretary Wal
lace responsible for conditions in
his Department, until he proves
otherwise"
Congressman Beck also stated that
he was unable to get any help from
Mr.. Chester Morril in charge of the
Administration of the Packers and
StOckyards Act, when he asked him
for the file in the South St. Paul
case, where charges of misconduct by
livestock commission firms were
turned over to the Livestock Ex-
change.
He said:

in charge of the Administration
of the Packers and StOckyards
Act, and asked if l could see the
South st. Paul file. MIR. Morrill,
said l could but before / did he

TWO BURKE COUNTY

The business men and many farm
ers of Portal, N. D., North Portal
and surrounding districts received
their second financial shock within
the past six months when the doors
of the Portal State bank failed to op-
en- its doors Tuesday morning. This
has created a financial crisis, as with
the closing of the First International
bank of Portal last November more
than 100000 is now tied up in the
only two banks at the border here.
Business is almost at a standstill
and no one appears to be in a posi-
ton to say as to what the ultimate
solution of the crisis will be.
The Burke County State bank of
Bowbells ceased to function last week.
Monday morning the information was
given out that operations had sus-
pended. This is the second bank to
close in the Burke county capital and
one bank still remains open.

battalion at Khartum constituted the only
force of Egyptian troops now left in the
Sudan and that the British military forces
there are strong enough to keep the situa-
ton in hand. The battalion in question
was to have left Khartum today in the
wake of the first battalion, which moved
out OF the Sudan yesterday. Sudanese

London, November 26th-A discus
sion on the first link of the Empire, by
several of the overseas speakers, took
place at the colonial institute last night.
Senator Sir George Foster, of Canada,
declared that the .DOminions Rad a ma
tional status in policy,i if not actually, and
hoped that the dominjons would not
make a mistake in asserting the equality
of nationhOod with Great britain and
that the latter would continue as a domi-
nant partner until the dominiOns approx
mated her population aaJ the burden
of her defence. While Canada had taken
a prominent part in demanding separate
representation in imperial matters, she
had not taken any steps to avail herself
of it. and he urged careful consideration
before taking the first step, which may
be prejudicial to a single voice IN foreign
diplomacy. Lord Selborne, presiding,
said that although the Lloyd George gov
eminent had launched an idea OF separ-
ate representation, without fully think
ing of the possible consequences OF ref
erring to inconvenience which might
arise if every dominion appointed an am
bassadOr at Cairo, as well as at Washing
ton. he urged that the dominion states
men realize the implications ot the posi-
ton before the difficulties arose, and
which even the good will Of the domI-
Mons might be unable 10 solve.

IT ISN'T DONE HERE

Waterbury is experiencing eondi- ton similar to one which confronted New Britain until recently, Complaint is made that citizens Of Waterbury are indulging in the practice of park ing their automobiles at the curb overnight instead of using garages,
 The Waterbury American is author iiy for the statement that "rhe situa- ton was so bad on Plaza avenue one night recently as a result Of ears park cd on both sides Of the streets that only one car could pass along the center Of the street and when cars met they were forced to back up and do considerable maneuvering 10 get through"
 There Is only one remedy for the evil, the passage Of an ordinance prohibiting night parking. If the editor of the Waterbury American is interested, the Herald will be pleased to send him a copy Of the ordinance passed recently by the Common coun- ell which has put a stop to the seqnes- traitor of public property for private purposes in New Britain.
