The difficulties between young Bcw and

gardless of family objections. Last April
the youthful husband, who is nineteen year

her to leave him and return to her parents
apartments, at the Ritz-Carlton. About
that time Bew took habeas corpus action

the young man desired to enlist in the

satisfactory evidence to the recruiting of.

KANE RESPONSIBLE
FOR NAMING WALNUT
U. S. Attorney Accepts Criticism
Personally and Claims Credit
for Appointment

United States Attorney Francis Fisher
Kane today in a statement accepted full
responsibility for recommending to Attor-
ney General Gregory the appointment of
T. Henry Walnut as his assistant
Mr.. Kane branded as beneath contempt"
the accusation of Harry d. Wescott that
the appointment was the result Of corrupt
political bargaining between the Palmer
Mccormick leadership i'm the Democratic
party and Senator Penrose, representing the
anti-Vare wing of the Republican organ
ization. Mr.. Kane's statement, follows:
'The suggestion of the appointment Of
Mr.. Walnut was not the result of deal
with Penrose. This suggestion is nothing
short of insolence. The suggestion came
from me and not from Roland S. Morris.
When | found that / should require an
assistant | naturally considered available
men in the city, and took counsel with my
friends. 1t was up to me to recompend a
man to the Attorney General ..
81 suggested Mr. walnut's name to
Morris. and will not allow him to take the
credit for 1t, The appointment is very
good in my opinion As to Mr. Wescott's
suggestion in his letter, ii is beneath con-
tempt Anybody at all conversant with
city politics knows that Mr.. Walnut has
always been the foe of the Republican ma
chine as a whole and against the Wares
and against the McNichol faction. l fur
ther say that the present is no time to
talk about public offices as mere party
spoil We must keep politics out Of the
enforcement of the army law 1t would
be poor satisfaction for a man who is
drafted to know that another man down
the street was exempt from draft through
political pull. The question is no longer
whether a man is branded Democrat or
Republican, but is he with the President?
And Walnut, in my estimation. met that
test"
