GRAVES ENDOWMENT
FUND GROWING FAST

The American Legion's appeal for
an endowment fund to provide for the
permanent annual decoration of $4,000
graves of overseas dead has aroused
interest in all parts of the country.
AS Memorial day approaches the num-
Der of contributions received at Le-
gion national headquarters reaches
new heights.
The largest sum in contributions to
date has been received from Michl-
gan. Other leading states, in relative
order, are Pennsylvania, New York,
Illinois and Virginia.
A donation which caused much COM
ment at national headquarters was
received from a group of former SER
vice men recovering from wounds IN
United States Hospitals No. go, n.
c., Ward 1-3. These men gave their
best of the small compensation they
receive and dropped it into a tin wa
fer can, slit in the top. When the can
was opened it was found to contain
$18 in nickels, dimes and quarters
Accompanying the contribution was
the following poem:
"And the thought we send across the
wave
AS we lay upon our cot,
Is plant upon each far-off grave
One sweet forget-me-not."
Many newspapers are cooperating
with Legion posts in appealing to the
public for contributions. The Indian
apolis News is receiving and acknow-
lodging by publication all contrlbu-
tions received Publications in small
er cities have also assisted in the
campaign. j. /. Finney, editor OF the
Daily Herald Of Columbia, Tenn, ap-
peaIed to readers of his newspaper
for funds with considerable success
He wrote Legion national headquart'
ers as follows:
ssIf other newspapers would do the
same thing you would soon have the
5000. 900. / never gave to a cause
with quite so much pleasure. 1t Is
fine to think that / have helped tc
make certain the annual decoration ol
those who sleep forever on foreign
fields where they died for me anc
mine."
A mother of McCook, Neb., whose
how lies "somewhere in France
wrote: 81 have boy over there some
where. They know just when and how
he was killed, but his grave has mo-
been found. Perhaps the poppies vii
bloom over his grave. / want to hell
get flowers for the others"
The American Legion's appeal fol
contributions to a 100000 endowment
fund to provide for the annual decor
alton of the graves of overseas dea.e
was characterized as one from which
no American could turn aside by Jas

the charge.
The police sergeant was then
asked by Chairman Wahly whether
he could assign any reason for the
prohibition men selecting his son
and Kellogg, In preference to other
men who accompanied the vice
squad on many raids. McQuade re-
piled that he did not know.
Another charge against McQuade
concerns the disappearance Of four
gallons Of liquor seized on a recent
raid. The board accepted for evil
dence regarding this charge the
statements made Saturday by J. H.
Estes, a prohibition agent.
Estes Star Witness.
Estes said that an investigation
by his department had revealed that
the liquor was stolen by an agent
now discharged. He said he had
no knowledge that McQuade, or any
other policeman, stole liquor.
AS Estes was q star witness in this
complaint, the complaint against
McQuade will undoubtedly be dis
missed.

charges OF policemen permitting

only questions put to them con-

hadn't carried a gun for several
months and that many of the
agents did not go armed.
