HELENA LEGION
ISSUES WARMING
OBJECT TO ABLE-BODIED MEN
SOLICITING FUNDS WITHOUT
HAVING CREDENTIALS
Believe that Such Action by Ex-Ser-
vice Men Who Are Not Incapaci-
tated Weakens Chances of Dis
abled Veterans Who Need All the
Help Public Can Give.

The next time you are approached
to make a contribution for the bene-
fit of ex-service men, or subscribe to
any publication having to do with the
welfare of former soldiers, ask the
solicitor accosting you to show you
his credentials. Such is the admoni-
ton of the American Legion officials
who have taken exception to a form
of pan-handling which has been go
ing on in some cities, under the guise
of soldier benefit enterprises.
Legion Makes Statement

sued by the Legion executive COM
mittee in Helena for the benefit of
Montana cities and towns generally:

International narcotic smuggling
which led from England, France,
Germany and Spain to Cuba and
thence to this country is reputed to
figure in the arrest in Butte of Ber-
nard Murphy, widely known as RED
the Sailor" and the seizure of a suit
case with $30,850 worth of morphine,
cocaine and heroin by Federal Mar
cotic Inspector John Guerra and Sher-
fff Larry Duggan. The drug capture
constituted the largest ever made in
an inland city, according to officials.
The capture, which came after In
spector Guerra made a purchase of
81 200 worth of drugs was the eli

There is no reason at the present

Comes From ItaIy to Wed

After long voyage, Filomina Null
Ter has arrived in Miles City from
Italy to meet her sweetheart of child
hood days, Nick Gaglia, who before
the strike was employed in the Mil
waukee shops. Gaglia came to Amer
lea some years ago and before leaving
Italy promised to send for the girl.
For two years Gaglia has saved in
order to take trip to Italy and this
spring found his hope realized. He
had made all preparations for the
trip and had secured his passport
when letter came saying that Miss
Muller had sailed for America. Gag
liza then abandoned his trip and anx-
ious1y awaited his promised bride.
The reunion was most happy one
and Notwithstanding the strike, the
couple decided that they would be
married.
