Anti-SalOOn League Warns
Against Freeing BOOleggers.
Two Topeka Women Named on
Board by State Department.

Washington, Sept 15.-A committee
was appointed today at the anti-sa-
loon league conference here to draft
resolution warning federal judges
that unless they "sacredly perform
their sacred duties in enforcing pro-
hibition laws the league will seek their
impeachment"
Charges were made that some fed
eraI Judges had 'tcoddled bootleggers
and moonshiners." and that prohibi-
ton laws were being made "a farce"
in some sections by the light punish
ment.
The committee was named by the
Rev P. A. Parker, general superin-
tendent of the league, after speakers
at the conference had vigorously criti-
cised federal judges for alleged laxiety
in melting out punishment to those
convicted OF violation of the prohibi-
ton amendment and enforcement law
The conference, which has drawn
dry workers from every state, is a
war council on plans of campaign to
insure election of a congress friendly
to the Volstead act and of a president
who will appoint prohibition COM
missioner favoring rigid law enforce
ment.
The state department named patrons
of different states to serve with the
committee on woman activities during
the congress. These patronesses in

Paris, Sept. 15--Marsha1 Henri
Philippe Petain, chief
of the French armies in France during
the latter years of the great war and
the French general whose work at
Verdun made him a national figure,
was married to Madame Hardon at
the city hall of the seventh ward of
Paris on Tuesday morning. says the
Petit Parisen.
The ceremony was witnessed by
General Fevolle, another noted French
commander during the war and
Madame Gabriel Ferrier, widow of the
celebrated painter who was stepfather
of the bride. Marshal Petain and his
bride left last evening for the Riviera
where the former owns a small estate.
The marriage is a realization of a
life long dream of the marshal, who
knew the bride when she was a very
young girl, long before her first mar
riage. He always cherished tender
memory of her and hoped that some
day, circumstances would enable him
TO marry her. The bride, according to
the Excelsior, is very wealthy.
