ATTORNEY MAY LOSE LICENSE

John Francis Sullivan of Butte is
named in a petition filed in the su-
preme court by C. E. Pew, as chair
man of the state executive committee
of the American Legion, in which the
petitioners ask the court to appoint
a commissioner to investigate charges
against Sullivan made in a report of
Silver Bow members of the legion and
attached to the petition.
Sullivan took the bar examination
some time ago and later when he ap-
peared before the draft board, it is
said, claimed exemption on the grounds
that he was under age. Later his
license to practice law was revoked.
Early this month Sullivan again
took the bar examinations and was
granted a license by the supreme court.
