OIAMIMA, Jan. Ud.—.Senator
John K. Campbell of Kverett has
today introduced v bill providing
for a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the supreme court
from holding invulid any act
passed by the state legislature.
Campbell began his plans for
the passage of this amendment
two years ago when a member of
the house. At that time he es
sayed its being made part of the
constitution, but the Bupreme
court of Idaho ruled on a similar
case in that state, declaring it
would hold any such act of the
legislature contempt.
It is asserted now, however,
that if the amendment b» sub

have no power to declare it void.

"Mr. Brawley did speak to me
yesterday. He called me into t lie
judge's private office.""
'"When was that?" Brawley
asked.
"In the morning, about 9: IB."
"But not after adjournment of
court last night?"
"No."
