CASE MIsREPREsENTED.

Editor News-TiInes:
In Friday evenings edition Of the
South Bend Tribune there appeared
an article in which Homer G.. Tag
CART, chairman Of the local exemp-
ton board for division No. ., Is
quoted as having threatened 10 send
the sheriff after me if did not come
down 10 be inoculated in 80 min
utes. He also quotes me as having
replied that / would be there in %
minutes.
Both OF these statements are moth
ing but falsehoods as Mr.. Taggart
we'll knows.
The facts in my case are these:
I applied 10 the district board at La
porte, Ind, for a 9O-day extension.
! was acting entirely within my
rights when I did SO. on Thurs
day morning Mr.. Taggart called me
on the telephone stating that he had
Just received word from the district
board at Laporte that my application
for an extension had been denied By
that board 1 told him that L had
not received any notice from the
district board OF such denial but that
ii he had q letter 10 that effect
would come down 20 be inoculated.
MT. Taggart then told me that a
number Of men were now being in
oculated and If I would come down
in 80 minutes a lot of time and ex-
pense would be saved the board.
then told him l would come down in
about go minutes, and did as
promised.
NIr. Taggart never threatened 10
send the sheriff after me. for he well
knows ne cannot frighten me. Nor
did 7 say that 1 would be at the
boards headquarters in % minutes
Mr.. Taggart wishes 70 leave the i'm
preston that ne frightened me into
coming down 10 be inoculated But
the fact is he did nothing or the
kind
Mr.. Taggart is giving my case
such wide publicity in a vain at

patriotism. I want 10 say that I
am just as patriotic and just as 10y
