-Biff, bang, chase! And the

A score Of reserve officers,

the call.
They surrounded the beauti-

only to be met by well-known
matron.
THANK you so much for COM

Graves, of 1919 Thirty-fifth street
northwest, at Rockville, Nd. Robert
Chamberlain, 3407 Dent place north
west, journeyed to Baltimore where,
by reason of previous experience
with a marriage license clerk, he
negotiated the hurdles placed by law

bands-to-be.
Chamberlain gave his age as
twenty-five and that Of his wife as
twenty-one, whereas, at Rockville
just a few days previous, both were
Of the tender age of nineteen years.
A reticence born of experience led
the bride last night to refuse to talk
about the wedding trip. All she
would say was I'VE were married in
a Catholic church." Chamberlain is
a messenger at the Treasury and his
wife is a telephone operator.
That the wedding plans were a
complete success so far as keeping
them secret was concerned, goes
without saying. Not even the
mother of the youthful bridegroom
knew that her son had taken unto
himself a wife. She was apparently
much surprised when informed OF
the fact. The marriage was per-
formed Thursday afternoon,

LEGION BATTLE
OVER CHIEF
BITTER
Major Walker, Impeached, Win
Take Fight to National
Headquarters.

In the opinion OF men high in the
ranks of the American Legion here,
Major Thacker ". Walker, comman-
der of the George Washington Post,
and veteran of the Spanish Amerl-
can and world wars, was acting en-
tirely within his rights as comman-
der when he sanctioned the grant
ing Of a charter for woman's aux.
Hilary to the. post without the ex-
plicit approval of the membership.
Becasue he sanctioned this charter
without the formal approval of the
post, Commander Walker has been
impeached and is to be tried Mon
day night at a special meeting.
Should he be found guilty, an effort
will be made to have him removed
as post commander.
Commander Walker declared that
he was the victim Of "dissenters in
the post" His friends assert that
the whole trouble originated when
the American Legion woman's aux
iliary, an outside organization that
was fostered by some members Of
the post, failed in its efforts to
have the American Legion rec0g-
nize it as an affiliated organization.
When the reorganization was
regular auxiliary, provided for in
the legion constitution. was formed
and was approved by Commander
Walker. Members of the post who
still chung to the American Legion
woman's auxiliary, disapproved his
course and the Impeachment pro-
ceedings were begun.
Since the constitution Of the
Legion provides that there shall be
an auxiliary" for each post, friends
of Walker assert that the formal
consent of the post for a charter for
this auxiliary was not needed. Major
Walker let it be known today that
should he be found guilty Of bad
faith towards the post" he would
appeal the decision to the local de-
partment headquarters and in the
event that he could not get favor
able action here, he would appeal to
the national officers who have final
jurisdiction in disputes of this
character. -,.--s..
Pending the trial, Lew S.. Mohler,
first vice commander of the post,
is acting commander.

TENNESSEE
SITUATION IS
EXPLAINED
Statement, Throwing Some
Light on Ousting of Pro-
fessors, Issued.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July T.
With several Of the professors al
ready dismissed and four others, adj
mitted to be under fire, out of the
city, the battle at the University of
Tennessee had lulled today, and the
situation had taken on a sullen
complexion.
A brief statement was made by
President H. A. Morgan, in which
he denied there were personalities
involved, and another by Gov
Austin Peay, heard Of the board
Of trustees, in which the chief ex-
ecutive promised fair treatment for
the professors.
The only light thrown on the
motive for the wholesale dismissais
was the information given out by
DIR. Robert 8. Radford, one Of those
decapitated. He admitted calling
the meeting of the faculty to discuss
the dismissal of DR.. Jesse w. Sprowls,
and the question of academic free.
DOM" BY this, it was said, is
meant the right Of an instructor tC
present ones own opinion. 1t is a
clause in the constitution Of AmerI
can Association of College Profess
sors.
1t was explained by members of
the association that professor has
the academic freedom" to express,
but not force his opinion, and that
the class could take it or leave
it,"
DR.. Maurice Mulvania, dean of
the pre-medical department, came
out with his story of the affair
He said he had been authorized by
President Morgan to secure and
present to the administration "sug.
gestions" for better cooperation in
the university. He said he had
nothinb to do with an anonymous
publication, Truth" which appear
ed on the campus followinb Dr.
Sprowls' dismissal, and which car
ried a purported copy of his "sug-
gestions," under the caption "a
Constitution"
He was dismissed two days ago.
The action of the Association OF
College Professors was anxiously
awaited. Local members said the
probable result of it's investigation
might mean a boycott by the profess
sors against Tennessee, inasmuch as
it's findings would be put in book
form, along with recommendations,
and sent to every member for his
guidance.

TWOHAULS
Holds Up Fire Captain With
Gun When Caught RifIing
Dresser of JeWelry.

Washington's bogus package
thief made good his escape twice
yesterday after having been caught
robbing two homes. Half a dozen
other robberies attest to his cool
nerve and cunning.
Returning to his apartment at
1436 Meridian place northwest,
Capt. Edward O'Connor, of the fire
department, found the thief ran
sacking a bureau drawer. With
drawn revolver the intruder backed
Captain O'Connor against a wall
and continued to rifle the bureau.
Coolly sticking jewelry valued at
$500 in his pocket, he backed out
Of the apartment and fled. Among
the articles stolen was a trophy
given the drill team of No. En-
CINE Company by former Commits
sioner Henry B. F. Macfarland.
Headquarters Detective Dennis
Murphy established the fact that
numerous other burglaries had been
perpetrated in the vicinity. The
bogus package" thief, as he is be-
ing called, is held accountable for
all Of them.
Earlier in the day he entered the
apartment at 1882 Newton street
northwest. Alvin Smith, colored jan
itor, discovered him attempting to
break into a second floor apartment.
Smith gave chase when the man fled
but he was outdistanced after short
chase. According to Information
given the police, the burglar is want
ed IN several cities for similar crimes.
With two good descriptions of
him and a set of finger prints they
are in high hopes of capturing him.
A close watch is being kept over

belief that he will return for more
loot
