The resolution, which was passed over until teday for action, was brought in by W. T. Otjen, repub- lican floor leader, and asked for ap- | pointment of a committee make in- | going too fast. For their information | vestigation of rumers and reports or corruption in connection with the sudden dispersal of state senators in an attempted impeachment session of the legislature in December, 19 Try to Impeach The house attempted to bring about the impeachment of Governor Johnston and other officials at that time, but the senate refused to sus- tain the charges, when it agreed to abide by the St ruling that the legislative session was illegal because it was selfcon- | vened. The house voted the charges In a secret meeting after Governor | Johnston, a democrat had called out national guardsmen to keep the | legislators from meeting in the State Capitol. Otjen’s resolution alleged that charges had been made verbally and by a newspaper “that money has been given scnators: That promise of pardons and appointments were made to senators and that contracts were offered to them in order to procure adjournment,” of the attempted impeachment session. After voting to declare the & court impeachment in 1927, #enators switched their votes and refused to accept the alleged articles of impeachment. The switch gave administrative forces the hand and it agreed to the supreme court ruling that the house of rep- resentatives had no legal right to | convene itself. nine WHALEN PROSGRIBES NUDE WOMEN IN CLUBS New York Commissioner Against That Sort of Entertainment For Customers.
