tournament will be between Wolf
Point and Roundup, March g. The
four days of the state tournament
are March 8, 10, II, and IL.
The local boys have profted
much by the Bainville games, es-
pecially because of the strict rul-
ings of the referee. Variety of
first class opposition has also help
ed. Chances for success at the
state tournament we're materially
helped by the fact zles the Wolves
played every game with a strong
district team.

Sunday are Moore, Rathert, La
Rogue, Nichol and Kay Lang, also

teenth annual for the state. 1t

CITY And RURAL
SCHOOL NOTES

Carl lessen of Helena. high
school supervisor, was a visitor at
the local school last week. He
visited both the high school and
the grades His chief criticism was
that the grades were crowded in
the individual rooms and that the
high school class rooms were too
small. He recommended that the
partition between the English re-
citation room and the eighth grade
room be removed. This will prob
ably be done next summer. He re-
commended that the amount of lab
oratory equipment be increased
and also that the high school Ii
brary be increased. In checking the
records Mr.. Jessen was well
pleased with the entry of students
last fall Only three pupils were
from one to three weeks late in
entering. This is the best record
yet. He said that the class room
work was very good. Mr.. Jessen
says that he is anxious for every
high school to raise its standards
every year and not be content with
the same level.

the second governor of Montana,
who is living in absolute poverty
in Missoula He asked the House
to make small appropriation so
that this woman who had been
the first lady of the state should
not end her last days in the poor
house. A motion was made that
the appropriation committee take
this under advisement We have
not yet heard the decision.

Another great mystery is going
down into history. Miss Ruth Mac

for Bainville day ahead of the
rest of the rooters and she did not

SECY. STEWART
Is IMPEACHED
HOUSE VOTES SOLIDLY TO
ADOPT RESOLUTION--
UP TO SENATE

Helena, March Without {
dissenting vote, the house of re
representatives Tuesday Afternoon
adopted a resolution of impeach
ment, which, if sustained by the
senate, will remove Charles T
Stewart of Helena as secretary OF
state, an Office he has held 10 years
Unless Stewart resigns, and this
is. not anticipated, he will be tried
by the senate.
AS soon as the articles of i'm
peachment are filed with the sen.
ate, which may not be until Thurs
day, Governor Erickson will ap-
point a successor to serve either
until Stewart is acquitted or until
the next general election.
Ninety-nine members of the
house voted to adopt the resolu-
tion of impeachment, based Oh an
investigation of the official acts of
Stewart made by a special house
committee composed of G. NJ.
/ Moss of Flathead chairman; d. A.
Dellwo of Lake and H. R. Green
of Dawson. Troy of Hill passed
his vote on the adoption of the
resolution, which action he declined
to explain. Bretzke of Valley and
Lowry of Fallon were absent.
The vote came after the house
had considered the evidence in an
executive session lasting more
than two hours 1t was said that
many questions were asked as to
the nature of the evidence on which
the committee based its impeach-
ment recommendation. The fact
that there was not a dissenting
vote when the house took up the
committees report in open ses-
sion made it appear that all mem
bers had agreed to vote with the
prevailing side, but this was de-
nied.
Many Charges
Charges which are to be filed
against Stewart involve the al
legged squandering of money and
failure to comply with constitution
al requirements in the publication
of proposed constitutional amend
ments in newspapers; use of money
appropriated for the motor vehicle
registration department for paying
salaries of deputies not connected
with that department; the placing
of fire insurance for the state with
companies represented by an
agency of which he owns virtually
all the stock; failure to have the
records of the state board of ex-
aminers properly kept and failure
ito discharge the duties of his of
flee with fidelity. as enjoined by
his oath of office"
Stewart has broken faith with, |
and betrayed the confidence of, |
the sovereign people of the state |
of Montana" the committee report |
says. and she is unfit and incompe- |
tent to have longer entrusted to i
him the esponsibilities of a high |
executive Office of the state"
Through these proceedings, for
the first time in the history of /
Montana state administrative Of
icer is to be brought before
court of impeachment.

for the first time with a fine band

it will be possible to hold a north

The burning question on the ar
rival of the fans in Bainville was
the Wolf Point Plentywood game,
as the team which lost would have
an easy road to the finals.
The Bainville fans We're pleased
with the battle between Plentywood
and Wolf Point, the first game for
Wolf Point and the third of the
tournament. Principal Rice and
Coach Boe made a gentlemen's
agreement that both teams would
go into the game to win The
first quarter Of the game ended 4
to 4. BY coincidence the first quar-
ter of the championship game, be-
tween the same two teams, ended
5 to 5.

CAPPER SEEKING
 ID OUTLAW WAR Senator Joins Those Working
 for World Peace

Washington. Nov. g (P-SenatoI, Capper republican. Kansas, has joined inc ranks of those seeking to outlaw war by agreement between nations.
 The kansan. who is a member Of the foreign relations committee. has ready for introduction at the com ing session of congress a resolution asking that with this end in view President Coolidge enter into nego- tiations with France and other coun- tries looking favorably upon such a project.
 Although advancing different plan. Senator Capper has aligned himself with Chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee. who has announced that he will seek ac- ton on his resolution designed to accomplish the same purpose. This measure was introduced at the last session but did not reach a vote.
 Under the Capper resolution, which must be adopted by both branches of congress before going to the president, it would be declar- cd the policy of the nation "hy treaty with France and other like minded nations formally to renouncn war as an instrument Of public pol icy' and to settle its international differences by mediation.
 Treaties would bind the signator. ies to refrain from aiding an az gressor nation and an aggressor na- ton would be defined as one which opens hostilties without first sub- hitting it's dispute to arbit ration.
 Bora h's resolution would have in- tcrnational law codified, would de- nOunce war as a means of settling international differences and would set mp an Independent international tribunal for arbitrating disputes be- tween nations.
 Senator Capper pointed 10 the willingness of France to enter into such a treaty. as expressed last spring by Foreign Minister Briand. Other nations, he said. would readily follow the lead Of France and tho [ nitcd States.
