CHICAGO, Sept. Civilian Hale
Thompson, mayor Of Chicago. today
filed suit for s250,000 damages,
charging libel, against the Chicago
Herald and James Keeley, publisher.
simultaneously he made long pub
lie statement, defending himself
against charges Of "anti-American-
ism" and alleging he has been grossly
libeled by the 'press of Chicago and
others"
Mayor Thompson said:
For a long time I have patiently
submitted to untruthful newspaper
articles In which l have been grossly
libeled
Recent events compel me not only
in the matter of self respect, but
out of regard to the position l occupy
to take steps to punish those per-
sons responsible for the falsehoods
which / believe are injuring my good
name and that Of Chicgo.
'I have been charged by the daily
p.ess Of Chicago and by others with
refusing to invite to our city the rep
resentatives Of foreign nations.
have been charged with refusing to
permit the sale Of Liberty bonds in
the city hall. Both of these charges
are deliberate falsehoods.
"It is my opinion that because I
did not bring libel suits against
newspapers and their editors at the
time these and other mis-statements
were made, they have become bolder
and more unscrupu1ous, until they
have reached a ponit where they are
accusing me of being traitor to my
country.
"In furtheSance Of the conspiracy
against me, my enemies have bored
holes in the walls Of my apartments,
installed distagraphs, tapped tele-
phone wires, stationed operators in
