~The State Board If Health
wishes to pay tribute to the
Montana Tuberculosis AssOcla-
ton for the service which 1t is
rendering the state in carry
ing on a program Of tubercu-
losis prevention and health
promotion. There has always
been the closest cooperation
between the State Board OF
Health and the tuberculosis
association. In many counties
the public health nursing ser
vice is made possible by that
cooperation Of the Child Wei
fare Division and the Asso-
ciation.
Il especially commend the
action Of the Association in
placing a nurse on the Black
feet Reservation. Her work
has been excellent and has the
full approval Of the doctors on
the Reservation and also the
Indian Bureau The following
excerpt from letter written
by II. F. Schrader of the Black
feet Hospital at Browning is
evidence of the valuable SER
vice being rendered by the
nurse. The number Of child

CASE AGAINST
BAKER-JETT
IS DISMISSED

cred by the plaintiff in the
case against Joe B. Baker and
Charles Jett, charged with
having stolen 1000 shares each
Of the ker-Barnhill Corey
stock while directors of that
company, came to a sudden
halt last Saturday morning
and the case was dismissed by
Justice Sam Lowe Of Somers,
who was called in to preside
after Justice Eugene Mccarthy
disqualified himself.
A. d. Stillman who was
counsel for the investigating
committee Of stockholders who
Investigated the affairs Of the
company, had examined
number Of witnesses, including
a representative of the firm OF
Douglas & Wilson of CIT. Falls,
certified accountants who had
gone over the books of the
company. The end came sud-
denly Saturday morning when
the defense was examining
witnesses and had just com
cluded with Joe Baker and was
about to call G. w. Jett, also
defendant in the case. The
court here interfered, saying:
1T seems to the court that it
is not necessary to take any
further proceedings in this
matter. It appears that when
this company was organized
and issued their first stock it
was indebted some five thous-
and dollars. Joe Baker had
cash invested in the operations
for 81 10000. The stock wasn't
worth one cent on the market.
The directors and trustees of
this company bought that stock
in order to keep operations
going in the field This prose
cution has not offered the
evidence to this court
that there has been any en-
DezzIement, fraud or injury to
any person. This prosecuting
witness under his own testi-
nony yesterday said that the
only evidence he had Of any
crime was the report Of the
secretary of the company. He
aid he had consulted with
Hr. Brockett anu NJ. Small III
'egard to bringing this prose
:ution and filing this COM
,laint. He admitted that he
lad not consulted the county
ittOrney at all. He was q
tockholder to the extent Of
90 shares. Mr.. Small and Mr..
crockett have not appeared i'll
his court. This prosecuting
witness is the only man who is
making this prosecution. He
100 shares and there
) question whether he owns
ne share today. The court or
ers that this case be dismiss
d; that these defendants be
ischarged and their bonds ex-
nerated"
The case grew out of the re-
ort of an investigating COM
littee appointed to look into
nd report on the affairs of
le company. In the report a
umber Of serious charges
ere made, one Of which was
lat the directors unIawfuIly

the lower branch OF the Legislature

Constitution of the United States,
in that it alleges to protect the

and affords no protection to the
racial integrity of the Negro. The
provision Of the Amendment in
question reads:
"Nor (shall any Stale) deny to
any person within its jurisdiction
The equal protection Of the laws'.
The bill provides protection 10
the white person against the inter-
marriage with a Negro, but makes
no provision for the protection OF a
Negro against intermarriage with q
