Judge Stevens Seeks New

Judge ]. F. Stevens had the unique
experience today of appearing before
the supreme court as counsel for a
man he had previously, while district
judge, sentenced to serve from l to IA
years in the state penitentiary on con-
viction for embezzlement of an over

tiary sentence. having carried an APP

the defendant was found guilty of
making a false entry. It Is claimed
the information does not constitute the
crime of embezzlement.
The state contends through its coun-
sci that the embezzlement of an over
draft, when it is proven that the de-
PENDANT appropriated funds of the bank
and covered the appropriation with a
false entry on the books, is just the
same as though the charge mad been
made embezzlement. The defense
claims that no attempt was made to
cover the existing overdraft and that
the defendant had no intention of

Since he presided in the Sixth judi
cial district as judge and sat in the

tired from the bench and has engaged
in the practice of law at Pocatelio.

President Says Agitation
for Preparedness Does
Not Come from the Mum
lions Makers.

Milwaukee, Jan. 21.-President Will
son today threw down the gauntlet to
the opponents of national preparedness
who declared that the movement
sprang from desires of munitions and
armament manufacturers to make
money. There is such a thing being
said, but hope you do not believe it,
declared the president TT is being
said among other things that this agi-
tation for preparedness and national
defense comes chiefly from those who
are interested in supplying the govern
ment with munitions and armament.
Gentlemen, do not allow yourselves to
be misled by statements of that sort.
The president was speaking from the
rear car of his platform at Racine, half
an hour before arriving here.
Anything the government does,
somebody is going to make money out
of it." continued the president, but the
impulse for this thing does not come
from those quarters. The impulse
comes from men disinterested, men
who know the actual circumstances of
the country, who know that these
things are Immediately necessary. 1,
for my part, have all along advocated
and always shall advocate, that the
government, as far as possible, shall
manufacture these things for itself, in
order that, at any rate, it may control
the price at which these articles shall
be sold to the government. If it is
necessary to protect ourselves against
those who would make money out of
the necessities of the nation, there are
adequate means of defending ourselves
and we will use these means"
