Appeals Court Asked
To Deny Brief Motion
In Bondsman' Case

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday was asked to dis
miss q motion filed Saturday In
behalf of the II District Court
Judges asking that they be allowed
to hle q brief and present argu-
ments on an appeal taken by a
man whose application to serve as
bondsman was denied in the lower
court.
Dismissal Of the motion was
asked In a paper fled in the Court
Of Appeals by counsel for John w.
Carter, 4s. colored, 1900 block
Girard street NE.
District Court first granted Mr..
Carter a license in 1947 to engage
IN bonding criminal cases In Dis
trict Court, but later the license
was revoked and last year his re-
instatement application was de-
MED. The application was denied
on grounds he had Incorrectly
stated he had never been charged
with an ofiense involving moral
turpitude.
Several charges which had been
placed against Mr.. Carter many
years ago, including one Of receiv-
ing stolen property, were eventu-
ally dismissed and he never was
convicted. Only the charge con-
cerning stolen property involved
moral turpitude. his counsel said
A technical point made by Mr..
Carter's counsel in pressing Tor a
reversal of the lower courts decl-
sion is that a composite question
which asked whether he had ever
been charged" and/or convictedP
of an offense involving moral tur-
pitude was answered in the mega
tive.
The motion filed by Mr.. PERL
man contends that the Court OF
Appeals has no jurisdiction to
review the District Court ruling.
The paper filed by MIR. Perlman
declared:
" - The granting or denial by
the District Court Of an applica-
ton to engage in the bonding
business pertains to the admins
trative functions Of that court
especially entrusted it by Congress
and does not constitute q judicial
decision renewable here"
The paper asked the Court OF
Appeals not to make a decision OF,
the appeal until after q brief has
been filed In behalf Of the IL
lower court judges and additional
oral argument heard.
Mr.. Carter Is represented by
Attorneys James A. Cobb. George

Guarding Against Farm Fires

more fire resistant than those covered with
shingles.
Even though every reasonable precau-
ton is taken to prevent fires in farm build
ings, facilities should be provided to fight
them if they occur. A ladder long enough
to reach the top of the highest building
should be kept in a convenient place. If the
farm is provided with a water system, we'll
placed hose connections are highly desir-
able. If there is no pressure water system,
a barrel of water with a tight cover should
be kept at every building. If calcium chlor-
ide is added to the water at the rate of
five pounds per gallon it will not freeze
even at 40 below zero. There should also be
at least two or three good fire extinguishers.
Lives are lost and many thousands of
dollars worth of property are destroyed In
farm and ranch fires in Montana and Wyo-
ming every year. Sensible precautions and
reasonable vigilance will do much to pre-
vent such tragedies.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-01

BECAUSE of Montana's relatively large
farms and ranches it is more difficult
to establish practical rural f~ire-fighting Or
CARNATIONS in this state than in the cornbelt
or eastern region. With the exception Of
some of the irrigated districts where farms
are smaller, most farm fires would be out OF
control before the equipment could get to
the scene of action.
So most rural families here must depend
largely upon themselves in preventing or
combating fires. With the limited facilities
that are usually available, prevention IS all
important. And this is the time of the year
to make a thorough checkup to see that all
possible precautions nave been taken. Heat
ing equipment will be working undo great
er pressure during the coming months and
fire-fighting is always more difficult in the
cold of winter.
Fire prevention is largely a matter OF
common sense. Keep the attic, basement,
out-buildings and the place generally free
from trash that can cause fires, or make
them more difficult to handle if they start.
Store gasoline, oil and other inflammable
materials at a safe distance from buildings.
Check chimneys and flues carefully for
cracks. See that the lightning rod system is
in good shape. Be extremely careful about
using kerosene to start a fire in a stove.
Farm buildings that are rooted with
metal or fire-proof composition shingles are
