As a result Of an investigation made
under his personal direction into con-
dItions at Rock Island, H., which ad-
joins the United States Ordnance
Training Camp, Attorney General
Gregory yesterday suspended for a
period of thirty days Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney John F. Dough-

Marshal to suspend for similar pc
riod Deputy United States Marshal
Williams. Both of these men will be
given a hearing pending consideration
OF their removal.
This action has been taken because
of what appears to have been a lack
Of sympathy on the part of these two
officials with the settled policy OF the
department OF Justice to enforce the
law strictly with reference TO the Ii
Quor and vice zones created by the
President. adjacent to army camps.
The deplorable conditions found TO
exist at Rock Island have been caused
largely by the neglect OF the NUM-
Cipal authorities to preserve order and

For an indefinite period the cities
