work than to give his valuable time
to such service?' Abyssinia is not
America or England, and an Abys-
sinia monarch has ideas different to
those of an American capitalist or
an English duke or lord. I person
ally believe the Abyssinian king is
the hardes worked man in all this
country. From morning until night
he is engaged in seeing people, in
giving judgment between disputants,
and in a thousand and one duties that
daily press upon him as the ruler of
this great land. In one sense he is
the ruler of all, in another sense is
servant of ALL"

LEGION LEADER RAPS
PLEAS FOR AMNESTY
Calls Those Who Ask Release of
Political Prisoners I'm
patriotic.

B ) the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.-The re-
cent appeal by group of prominent
release of the fifty-two so-calied po-
litical prisoners. was declared dis
tinctly unpatriotic" by Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the American
Legion. in d statement here.
These so-calied political prisoners
sought in many ways to block the
government in the crisis of its in
ternational reputation declared Mr..
Bolles. They attempted Ito turn
aside our youths from the cause of
the nation when it called for aid The y
evaded wartime laws and aimed to
create a disregard of these laws by
the CountryS Soldiery.
"These men have received consid-
crate treatment, according to old and
new standards. Had they been treat
ed as they would have by old world
despots. or by the so-called newest
advanced theory of government-so-
VietiSn-they would have been lined
up and executed.
Their abuse of the privilege of free
speech is responsible for the death of
many an American soldier on the
field of France or in the camps at
home. Their attitude during the
commission of the crimes for which
diSloyalty to the government and was
calculated to bring about destruction
of the fundamental principle of our
nation. The American Legion consid-
ers any appeal for their release as
distinctly unpatriotic."

WOMAN'S 'SSLAYER
ELUDES CAPTURE
Rewards of $4,000 Fail to
Develop Clues in Death of
Contractors Wife.

by the associated Press
LANSING, Mich. Nav 30.-AlthouEh
rewards totalling $4,000 have been
offered and every clue run down, po-
lice. county officers and state troopers
today admittedly were following slen-
der leads in their search for the
slayer of Mrs. William 7. Britten,
who was shot to death at her home
here early Sunday morning.
The theory that the Staying may
have been plotted and executed by
political or business enemies of Brit
ten failed of substantiation under
close scrutiny. At the same time,
the authorities are slow to accept
what seemingly is the only theory
that Mrs. Brtten. hearing noise
in the dark hallway. stepped quickly
fl ON her bedroom and surprised "a
burglar. who killed her when he was
discovered.
They have found nothing disturb
ed in the house. despite the fact that
there are several reasons for believ-
ing whoever did the shooting had
fore the murder was committed. This.
they think, discounts the burglar
theory.
Two suspects. characterized as gun
men, are being sought by state troop
erS. The suspects were connected
with a carnival that played here last
week. Nuskegon police have been
asked to make an arrest in connection
with the killing. but early today had
not located the man wanted, who is
said to have been Il member of the
carnival company.
