They became friends during the Roosevelt campaign trans-continen- tal tour when Mrs. Dall was with her father and Boettiger covered the trip for the Chicago Tribune.

Even Mrs. Rooseviet did not know where the couple went on their honey- moon. “I've no more idea than the man in the moon,” she said, smiling. “But John has a job here and I expect they will be back Monday or Tuesday.” ‘Was it a surprise, she was asked. ‘The president's wife shook her head thoughtfully, then said: “No.” In a ten-minute court proceeding, Mrs. Dall was divorced from her first husband—Curtis B.

Edgar Hoover, investigative director of the department of justice said at Washington, as the hunt for Karpis was intensified. Federal authorities at St. Paul, where Arthur Barker and three others are scheduled to go on trial in April for the Bremer kidnaping plot, have indicted Karpis for the Bremer “snatch.” His finger prints were re- ported found on a gasoline can thrown from a car used by the abductors.

Five of the measures were intro- duced by Senator George V. Coffey of Walsh county, a newcomer to leg- islative halls. His proposals dealt largely with legal matters, except one, referred to the committee on state affairs, simed at Communists and members of similar organizations employed by the state or municipalities, accord- ing to the author.

Moodie, who has been in office only 11 days. Action was taken after one of the bitterest debates in the state legislature, minority members branding the action one of the rankest itical frauds ever perpetrated under a Democratic form of govern- ment. Whether Moodie would leave office at once, under the con- stitution, or will remain until the charges have been present- ed by the house to the state senate, which will sit as a trial body, had not been determined. It is expected to be worked out in conferences between rep- resentatives of Moodie and his opponents. The senate had adjourned until Monday before the house acted and it will be impossible to present the charges to that body before that time. Senate Acts As Court Under the constitution, fm. peachment charges, ; compar- able to an indictment.in a court. of law, are tried in the senate. A vote of two-thirds of that body is necessary to sustain the accusations and permanently, remove an official from office, Observers considered it ime probable that the Nonpartisans opposed to Moodie would be able to muster enough votes to convict after a hearing. Some observers also saw the possibility. that the senate might summarily refuse to consider the impeachment on the ground that the charges made are not those covered by the statute covering impeach- ment. On this basis, the mat- ter soon would be ended and Moodie restored to the gover- norship. It was indicated shortly after the vote was taken that Moo- die would appeal his case to the people of the state in a radio address to be given early Fri- day evening over KFYR and a state-wide hookup. If this is done the governor probably will be on the air at about 6 p. m. Under the impeachment resolution 8 “board of managers” consisting of five members of the house would be appointed by the speaker to conduct impeachment proceedings and pre- Pere specifications of impeachment and present the case to the senate for trial. Representative Matt Dahl of Em- house, is pledged to support impeach- ment. The resolution of impeachment charges that Moodie “is guilty of im- Peachable offenses.” Moodie is charged with:
