Chicago, Oct. 23.-John J. Bradley,
United States marshal, received the
following communication from Attor-

THE regulations affecting the sales
of liquor promulgated at Chicago by
Mr.. Clabaugh, superintendent of the
bureau of investigation, were issued
without authority and without consul

department of Justice. 1 am in full
sympathy with their purpose, but per-
sonally believe that such regulations,
if promulgated by proper local au-
thorities,, would be very effective in
carrying out the purpose of the seIec-
tive service act. Under section II of
that act the only federal official in
vested with power to promulgate reg
ulations is the president of the United
