BREAKS OUT AGAIN

Republicans for the agreement,
Senator McMaSter, Republican,
South Dakota, in dramatic speech,
declared the Independents had been
handed a lemon"
McNTaster asked the Democrats
to get together with the IN
dependents and lower the tariff law.
"This peace agreement doesn't
mean anything. AS far as farm re-
lief is concerned" said McMaster.
1.-THE pledge Of the Republican floor
leader to help get a final vote doesn't
mean that there will be a final vote.
No one can pledge the whole party
to that.
'Let's get together with the Demo-
Gratis and lower the high tariff rates.
Hit them in their most vulnerable
spot"
McMaster served notice that he
intended to introduce resolution
expressing the sense of the Senate
that present tariff schedules should
be reduced.
Senator Caraway, Democrat,
Arkansas, suggested that the Re-
publicans take the question back to
secret conferences instead of parad-
ing their difficulties in the floor OF
the Senate.
Harrison advised the independents
not to be "misled" by the "sops" he
said were given them in the nature
of committee assignments.

Trial of Governor and Two
Other Officials by Sen
ate Asked.
BY DOM A. HIGGINS
United Press StaR Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 49,
The House of Representatives in
a secret session early today voted six
charges of impeachment against
Governor Henry S. Johnston.
The action was taken in defiance
Of troops of the National Guard and
of a temporary injunction issued
yesterday in District Court.
The House was in session from
2 until $50 a. m.
It accepted the impeachment
charges previously drawn up by an
investigating committee under
craftsmanship of H. Tom Kight, one
Of the insurgent leaders.
Impeachment charges also were
voted against Chief Justice Fred
Branson Of the State Supreme
Court, and Harry Cordell, president
of the State board of agriculture.
The charges now are ready for
formal presentation to the Senate,
sitting as a court of impeachment.
Delay Contempt Action
Belief that contempt action
against the Legislators might be
started in District Court, which had
issued temporary injunction for
bidding the Legislature from receiv-
ing impeachment charges, was dis
PEELED at least temporarily today
when the court continued until
Wednesday hearing on making the
violated injunction permanent.
Governor Johnston was charged
by his Legislature with general in
competency; with intimation Of the
commonwealth by his use of troops
against the Legislature; with action
harmful to the public good, and
with misuse of public funds.
The chief justice was charged with
corruption in connection with a de-
cision handed down by the Supreme
Court declaring all acts of the
special legislative session void.
Cordel was charged with Cor
rupC purposes" IN ONCE and with in
competency.
Senate Will Meet
The Senate, spokesman for the
insurgent Legislature said, would
meet somewhere in Oklahoma City"
soon to receive the charges and ar
range JohnSton'S trial
The impeachment charges were
voted by the House after as un-
usual session as can be found in
legislative records. Driven from the
Statehouse Monday by National
guardsmen called out specifically to
suppress and quell" the special ses-
sion, the legislators met late at night
on the eighth floor of a hotel, long
known as the unofficial capitol" Of
Oklahoma.
Until its announcement that I'M
peachment charges was made, none
outside the meeting room knew
definitely that the session was in
progress.
