level of bartenders. @
Dist. Atty. w. G. label declared that
"Mr. Stone should either put up or
shut up
"The director" said Atty label, is
acting like a child II he knows of
any violations that the city or county
authorities are failing to prosecute, it
is for him to bring the facts to me.
This Office will investigate any law
violation and if necessary l will call
grand jury to investigate condi-
tions.
Taxpayers Of Milwaukee county are
not in favor of Mr.. Stones going
through the state and throwing stones
when he has no occasion to do SO.
Let Stone quit talking and come to
the front like a man and if he knows
that the county or city officials are
not trying to enforce the laws, tell
me-"

WILSON WILL CUT NO FIGURE
Harding May Cali at White House or
Evening. Of March Third, Merely
to Pay his Respects.

st. Augustine, Fla.-While the cabi-
net awaits his final decision, Presf.
dent-elect Harding has determined up
on the details Of the Inauguration at
Washington on March T. The custo-
mary ride of the president and presi.
dent-elect will be dispensed with Mr..
Harding will go to the capital just in
time to be sworn in at noon. President
Wilson will have gone there some
time earlier in the day to sign the
bills OF the dying congress and thus
to make them into law
1t would seem from present indica.
tions that the outgoing President OF
the United States will cut less of a
figure in the inauguration OF his sue
cessor than ever before in the history
OF. the United States. This is not due
to any design on the part Of Senator
Harding but. inasmuch as virtually
all Of the inaugural customs are to
go by the boards this, year. 1t would
seem that President Wilson. after he
signs bills in the marble room OF the
senate. will fade completely out OF
the picture
While no arrangements have been
made to that end. 1t is the general sup
position that Mr.. Harding. on the al
ternoon Of the third Of March, will
call at the White House and pay his
respects to President Wilson.

cable at zap and that the
status which existed before the war
shall be restored.
