1t IS still pretty early for talk
of adjournment around the Capt.
tOl City, but there are definite in
dicatiOns already that an early
curtain is in prospect for this ses-
sion of the seventy-fifth congress.
A quiet canvass has just been
made in both houses and June l
seems to be the deadline set by
most members with May list a
long-shot bet and May Is a strong
possibility.
To clear the boards-barring any
new legislative proposals from the
administrators leauerS-the men,
bers have only to dispose OF the
tax and relief bills, the big navy
measure, three big departmental
appropriation bills, the long-dis-
puted wage-hour proposal and the
rather ambitious plan of the ad-
ministration to reorganize several
branches of the national govern
ment. -
-
Behind the desire for an early
adjournment, of course is the hard
campaigning faced by most of the
members before the polls open
next November.
II necessary, many observers be-
lieve Congress may let some Of the
more bitterly fought legislative
proposals slide until the next SEES
sion. That would be more eXpedi-
ent than losing valuable time a.
way from respective election dis
tricts.
The press gallery spectators are
telling a story about a certain
southern congressman who has
hit upon a new way of "impres-
sing" the folks back home.
He asked permission to extend
his remarks in the Congressional
Record-a privilege meaning that
his prepared speech" could be
printed in the record without ac-
tually being delivered. But before
sending his speech to the printer
he carefully inserted no less thar
eleven notations of "applause.'
This is to indicate that his
speech" was interrupted" that
many times by applause" as he
addressed" his colleagues.

Special Correspondent
Charles Sweeney, Hardin, was a
guest of Hardin students at Mon
tana State College last weekend,
when the Montana Grizzlies lost
two games to the state college
Bobcats at Bozeman. The two
teams split the four-game series
for the state championship, thus
becoming co-holders.
Ninety-three per cent of the 25S
students who were graduated from
Montana State university last June
now have jobs, a recent survey
shows. At this time last year, only
83 per cent of the preceding class
were employed.

went back to the ranch, but finding
out didn't help Walt much. because
walt was dead-shot three times. one
shot entering his heart, another shat
tering his hand and the other pierc-
ing his neck.
Sheriff Sam Shepard rode out to
look things over. Now, Sheriff Sam
was smart. 1t had been he who
Drought the charges against Harry in
the Cliff Sterling killing, and though
ne hadn't proved much in court we
still had lot of faith in him. Our
faith was justified, because in less
than two hours he figured out who
mad murdered Walt, and this time
there was no getting out of it by
means of a smart lawyer.
-Four of us from town, friends of
Walt. accompanied the sheriff out to
the Horizontal Bar F-a short of un-
official posse.
Looks like you figure on having
some trouble, Sheriff. Harry Fon-
tenalla remarked when we rode up
No" said Sam. mo, 1 don't figure
therell be no trouble, Harry" He
hooked his thumbs in his belt. so
Walt attacked yuh, eh? And you had
to shoot him in self-defense?"
"The damn little fool" Harry
biazed up suddenly and we knew he
had been drinking. DO you know
what? 1 think the little runt figured
l killed his partner, despite the fact
that the court acquitted me- I come
into the office this morning, and there
he was sittin' at my desk opening
drawers and lookin' into them.
I reckon he figured 1 was nowhere
around, cause when spoke he whirled
an went for his gun"
X X X
A ND you shot the gun OUTER his
hand?" said Sam.
Yeah. I shot the gun OUTER his
hand and then plugged him twice
more. SO what? That's self-defense,
amt it?' Harry's face was black.
He was never himself when drunk.
Walt had known this, and Walt had
known that he had insulted Cliff
Sterling when in that condition. and
Cliff objected. That was when Harry
killed Cliff, Walt had figured.
Yeah" said the sheriff, that's
self-defense, all right. Harry. Let's go
take a look at Walt"
So We went into the Office and there
was Walt sprawled out on the floor
Sam knelt down beside him and ex-
amined the wounds. He looked at the
Evening star., 1938-03-12

out to the corral and hunted
around. and pretty soon he found
bullet hole in one of the fence boards.
He stood thinking a minute. then he
came up to where we were waiting
with Harry.
Harry" he said This will make
the second time I've had to accuse
you of murder within a year. This
time I don't figure you can get out
of it,"
MOP" said Harry, his lips sneer-
ing, his eyes full of insolence. You
were just as sure the last time, Shep-
ard"
There's bullet hole over there in
the corral fence" said Sam. Now,
figure that's one of the bullets you
shot at Walt. figure the murder took
place down at the corral"
You sound like kid" said Harry.
II figure you and Walt had words.
I figure he was in here ropin' out
his horse. I figure he had a rope in
his hand an couldn't get at his gun
very handy, if he wanted, which gave
you a good chance TO shoot him
down."
HARRY was getting madder and
madder. you're figurin' too
damn much, Sheriff. You better start
explainin."
Il figuree," says Sam, that the
fact that Walt kept on here was
drivin' you nuts. because you knew
he thought you killed his partner. You
didn't dare fire him because of the
way it would look. So you killed him.
Hold on now, Harry. I'll explain
how know. know that Walt had a
rope in his hand when you shot him
because there are some fibers embed
ded in the wound in his hand.
haven't found the rope yet, but I ex-
pect 1 will if I look long enough.
Anyways, if Walt had a rope in his
hand he couldn't have had a gun,
and if he didn't have a gun you
couldn't have shot him in self-defense.
See?"
Now, Harry was drunk, and when
he's drunk he's crazy At any rate
Sans figuring" must have touched
off the necessary spark. He reached
for his guns and reached fast 1t
was only the fact that four CT us were
standing near enough to grab him
that saved Sheriff Sans life, reckon.
1t was dead give-away, and this time
the smart lawyers couldn't do thing.

Jerome N. Frank. securities commits
sioner. outlined today plan for speed
ing railroad reorganizations through a
special three Judge court. He said no
ofncial sanction had been given his
plan.
Asserting in an interview that a
Reconstruction Finance Corp. official
had privately advocated the same
method, he outlined it as follows:
A reorganization plan would first be
considered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t would then 60 before
three-judge court In Washington
From there it would pass direct to the
Supreme Court.
As heretofore, he stressed, admin
istration of railroads in receivership
would be in the hands of the many
Federal district courts.
He emphasized his plan would in
no way displace the operating func-
tions OF District courts and that it
would not eliminate the role of the
Interstate Commerce Commission In
reorganiZations.
He said the Securities Commission
has no right to participate" in the
development of such a plan.
Reorganization Of railroads is cur
rently one Of the Governments major
problems Observers deemed the
frank plan significant because the
administration is expected to con-
slider the difficulties of the railroads
at White House conference soon.
Railroad men have maintained
higher operating costs and shrinking
revenues have caused serious financial
embarrassment.

sion now has under study a plea of
the railroads for a Is per cent in.
