Federal Court at Great Falls;
Grinds Rapidly Thru Calendar
Tribunal Ready to Act on Several Civil Actions—Prohibition
Law Violators Sentenced to Jail or Fined; Several Are
Granted Parole on Probation—Two Cases Dismissed.
Clearing the calendar of the more
important criminal actions, federal
court Tuesday excused the jurors un
til Monday, April 29, and will spend
the time from now until then consid
ering a number of smaller cases, in
some of which the defendants have
entered pleas and some which have
not yet been arraigned.
Among those from northeastern
Montana receiving sentences were:
Otto Kempendorf of Havre, charged
in an information and a grand jury
indictment on two counts of sale and
possession of Canadian liquor, was
given a 60-day jail sentence and a
fine of $100 on the first and a fine
of $100 and a suspended four month
sentence on the second count. He was
placed on probation t r lour years.
A fine of $50 and a 90-day suspend
ed sentence was meted out to George
Hanson of Whitelail for transporting
12 cases of Canadian whisky. He had
already sustained the loss of an $800
automobile.
Eight new informations were filed
by the district attorney during the af
ternoon session, one for Missoula, one
for Billings and six for the Butte dis
trict. As court opens at Missoula
Thursday morning and there is a
heavy calendar to be considered the
district attorney plans to leave this
(Wednesday) morning for that city.
Trials begin at Missoula Friday and
the jury venire will report on that
day.
Those appearing in Federal court
from Northeastern Montana Monday
were as follows: j
^_
James Burke of Scobey, charged I
with tending bar in a pool hall in that
place and in possession of a small
quantity of whisky, was sentenced to
80 days in the Cascade county jail and
fined $50.
George Daughters of Westby, who
entered a plea of guilty Monday to a
charge of possession and nuisance,
With the government dismissing
the charge of sale, Steve Deal of Pop
lar entered a plea of guilty to pos
session of liquor on an Indian reser
vation and was given a 60-day sus
pended sentence in the Lewis and
Clarjc county jail and fined $50. He
was placed on probation for four
years.

with spots showing a 25c loss. She
stock found a good reception in gen

stackers and feeders moved actively.
Best mediumweight steers cleared at
$13.60 with bulk of all steers and
yearlings selling at $12.00 to $13.25
while bulk of the common and medium
fat cows sold at $8.25 to $9.75, most
heifers $9.75 to $11.25, most desirable
offerings at $li.00 to $13,00. Cut

medium grade bulls at $9.25 to $9.50

$16.00 looked steady with the bulk at
$14.60. #
Moderation in marketing of hogs

of the light lights cashed at $11.10

While there* appeared a possibility
in the senate that no farm bill would
reach the floor before next Monday,
the house moved ahead swiftly. Bare
ly had the echoes of the opening gav

of the agricultural committee dropped
into the basket a bill drafted along
lines of the republican platform and
the campaign utterances of the pres-
ident. It has been represented as
having the tacit approval of Mr.
Hoover.
The Senate agriculture committee
has not decided whether it will write
the debenture plan into its bills and
is delaying action until tomorrow with
the hope that Secretary Hyde will, ap
pear before it and give the adminis
tration view upon that proposal. If
the debenture plan is rejected, the
general principles of the bill to be
presented to the senate will be similar
to the measure before the house.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Washington, April 16.—President
Hoover, in a message of unusual
brevity and directness, recommend
ed to congress today the creation
of a federal farm board with
thority and resources to remedy
curring causes of depression in the
agricultural industry and a limited
revision of the tariff commission.

CLASH OVER DEBENTURE

and house on the incorporation of the

thorized Chairman McNary to include

"FARM RELIEF" ROW BE
LIEVED TO BE INEVITABLE
Washington, April 18.—The senate
and house entrenched themselves for
a farm relief fight today with the
prospect that the export debenture
proopsal of he National Grange will
cause a situation reminiscent of the
controversy that broke over the equal
ization fee of the old McNary-Haugen
bill.
At the direction of its agriculture
committee, the senate received from
Chairman McNary a farm bill which
included a provision for the use of
the debenture plan in connection with
exportation of crop surpluses. In the
house, the farm leaders opened the
relief debate by laytng the ground
work for their opposition to this pro
posal, which has not been endorsed bv
President Hoover.
PRESIDENT ASKS CON
GRESS TO UNITE
Washington, April 19.—President
Hoover appealed to congress to unite
on his farm program or face a con
troversy over the methods which will
be used by enemies of agricultural re
lief to delay or defeat legislation, in
a statement for the press Friday.

The debenture plan is sponsored by
the National Grange. The Farm Bu
reau federation, another large orga
nization, does not support the plan,
but officials have announced the or
ganization would not oppose it. The
farm bureau I formerly supported the

Mellon's report criticizes tbe deben
ture plan asf unsound economically,
while Lamom discusses it from the
standpoint of) effect on general busi
ness conditions. Hyde, it is under
stood, confines his report to an ex
position of forking of the plan in
other countries. Two.department of
agriculture experts have testified pre
viously that it was successful in for
eign countries where it was tried.
HOOVER OPPOSES
DEBENTURE PLAN
i, April 21.—President
letter sent Sunday to
Nary of the senate agri
Washing
Hoover, in
Chairman
cultural corrimittee, said he was con
vinced that the export debenture plan
of farm relief under consideration by
that committee "would bring disaster
to the American farmer."
He presented 10 specific reasons
upon which he predicated an express
ed belief th^t the theoretical benefits
would not be reflected to the farmers;
that the debenture plan would lead
to profiteering by speculators and
others as well as overproduction of
the affected commodities, thus adding
to the difficulties from which the
farmer now; suffers from that cause.
Finally, l|e said that the introduc
tion of such a plan would "inevitably
course and minimize the much more
far reaching plan of farm relief, up
on the fundamental principles of which
there has Ifeen general agreement."
Mellon and HyVle Join Him
Attached ( to the president's letter
were communications from Secre
taries Mellon and Hyde and the com
merce department which condemned
the plan in almost as vigorous lan
guage as that employed by the chief
executive and upon which Mr. Hoov
er based mbst of his own conclusions
that the plan put forward by the Na
tional Grarige is dangerous as well as
uneconomical,
Senator McNary has called his com
mittee to meet in special session at
10 a. m., Monday to consider the com
munications and there is conjecture as
what action the committee will take
since it decided las£ week to report
the debenture planirrespective of
what views the chief executive might
express.
An unofficial poll of the oommitee
disclosed six for the plan and six
against with the deciding votes in the
hands of two democrats, Smith of
South Carolina, and Thomas of Okla
homa, and the one farmer-labor mem
ber of the senate, Shipstead of Min
nesota.
Think Senate With Hoover
Even shuold the committee decide
to report the measure back with the
provision authorizing the federal farm
board to put the debenture plan into
operation upon application of one or
more farmers' co-operatives, admin
istration leaders believe the senate will
reject it in view of the strong oppo
sition of President Hoover.
The house will resume consideration
of its own measure which does not
include a debenture plan, Monday,
der the five minute rule for
un
amena
ments and under a program calling
for its passage on Wednesday,
bate also begins Monday in the sen
ate, but with a vote apparently
eral weeks away.
Whether the National Grange will
insist upon pressing its proposal be
fore the senate appeared to be
what problematical, although no state
ment was forthcoming from Louis J.
Taber, master of the National Grange,
who had a long conference
subject Saturday with President Hoo
ver. '
There were unconfirmed reports
that some of the Grange leader
not wholly satisfied with the form in
which the senate- committee had
written the debenture plan into the
McNary measure and that there might
be a move for changes in the senate.

DEBENTURE TO DISCLOSE
ADMINISTRATION STRENGTH
Washington, April 23.—Republican
leaders in the senate have decided to
make the vote on the export deben
ture plan a test of administration
strength in that branch of congress.
Forified by the expressed opposition
of President Hoover to the proposal,
Senator Watson of Indiana made
known that at the earliest opportuni
ty he would give notice, as Republi- j
can leader, of his intention to ask
the elimination of the debenture sec
tion voted into the farm bill by the
agriculture committee.
