CLAbAUGH'S WORK GIVEN PRAISE BY
 CHICAGO PAPERS
Former Birmingham Men Have Attracted Wide At tention by Efforts for
 the Government

The Chicago Herald and Examiner of Monday publishes an editorial en- titled, "A Patriot and Ills Son." re- garding Hinton C. Clabaugh and his father, which will be of interest to the
 Birmingham friends of these two men. Hinton Clabaugh nrst caale sn,o prom thence as a young man in Birmingham by his prosecution of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association. He is a brother of Sam r. Ciabaugh, postmaster at Tuscaloosa. The editorial is as fol- lows:
 Hinton G. Clahaugh. chief of the United States department of Justice for this division. lies in St. Lukes hospital. where he recently underwent a serious operation.
 MT. Clabaugh. although young man, has done useful and patriotic work for this community. His patient and intelligent secret service work in war time has made Chicago the cleanest city in America. His is the second largest division in the United States. Yet there has not been single fire, a single explosion, single slackers' riot,
 a single strike disturbance that might be traced to enemy activity. There are 100000 citizens of German descent in Chicago, more than in any city outside Germany.
 Saturdays verdict of jury in Judge I.ands court was tribute the cour- age and intelligence of this young man. All of the 100 I. w. w. members whose arrest he had directed in nation- wide raid were found guilty of obstructing this government in the prosecution of the war.
 When the war broke out MT. Clabaugh organized an American Protective league.

 "The cause of temperance has been aid ed by his action forbidding the sale over the counter of bottled goods. Throughout; the period of the war this young ma1 has devoted fourteen hours a day to his work without taking a vacation. His salary is si.50o a year. It is the writers knowledge that he has tw1se refused of fers of s20.O0Q a year to enter private employment. Wait until we've won the war" was his reason.

He retired from business som, years ago, but the war brought hin forth In December of last year the To cal inspection division of the aviation section wanted a man ito observe ant report conditions in a confidential ca pacity." A man with secret service abili ty was required and Mir Clabaugh, a. head of the department of justoice, Wa asked to recommend man for whon he could vouch. One of them was his father. Of the three they selected Cla baugh. Sr., and wrote letter to younf Clsbaugh stating that in order to pre- serve secrecy it would be necessary C have Clabaugh, Sr.. appear in tho offic' as H. C, Bruce. and that he appear to bs librarian
 Tt took Glabaugh Sr.. two weeks ;f discover that things in the local ofiei were not right He so reported to hi; son and this information was impartes to Captain Horgan of the plant protec ton division, military intelligence de- partment, Washington.
 When he picked up the Sunday pa pers in St. Isikes hospital yesterdaS young Clabaugh was mortified to reaN that his father, John Clabaugh, had been dropped from the local army avia- tion division following the discovery that Clabaugh. Sr., had been secretly carried on the pay roll as librarian under the false name of H. c. Bruce. It was stat. ed that the facts would be laid before the federal grand jury.
 ''It is needless to explain why Mr. Clabaugh was known as Bruce, The use of his real name would have frus- trated his secret object and we migh, not have had the exposure that has cleaned up the whole aviation depart ment's wastefulness.
 After the exposure Mir. Clabaugh re- sumed work under his own name. He was not dropped. He is there now, under Mai. w. w. Shaw, in charge of person. mel, valuable empIoye.
 "The Herald and Examiner makes this statement without the knowledge of eith- CT father or son. The false charges purporting to come from the district at torney were printed after having been made in another newspaper whose yer acity usually is to be accepted. The Herald and Examiner is proud to vol unteer this tribute to the patriotism and energy of the Clabaughs.
 Ut Is hard, sometimes. in the rush tc press, to get the exact truth. We vii thank our readers to help us when we err"
