Brown, there's going to be an even more serious aftermath.
 The sheriff is attempting to serve warrants by telegraph on people in Chicago and Kansas City, who are charged with injecting few liquor law fractures into that now famous party.
 One of the women rumored to be named in one of the warrants is said to be the wife of a wealthy Chicago hotel man, who came to dear old Mizzoo as the guest of her son. Students say she brought a retinue of servants and spent more money in this little college town than had been in circulation for months, startling all and sundry.
 She is said to be a strikingly hand some blonde.
 @ President Stratton D. Brooks of the university reiterated Sunday that the incident was closed and would make no further statement, but District At torney Ruby M.

BRAND IS AGAIN
 \ OUT FOR PREMIER
Defends His Country Against
 Charge Of Militarism

PARIS, Feb. 24.-Aristide Briand, seven times premier of France, today opened the electoral campaign with a speech at Carcassonne as prelude to the May elections, in which he hopes he will be returned to office. Defense of France against the charge of militarism was M. Briand's leading theme.
 '1t is the France of the revolution and of liberty which freed the world" he declared, land if she was not isolated in, 1914 it was because she represented in the eyes of the world justice and progress, while Germany typified reac- tion and oppression" =.ez
 M. Briand defended his own policy during his last tenure of the premier ship. He pointed out that the dollar was worth IF francs when he took office and Il francs when he left it.
 Wants Moral Force.
 Germany must be made to feel" he said, "that the countries of Europe re- associated, will impose a real peace on her. France is stronger than ever. She has only to exercise in the eyes of the world her true force, which is moral and not military"
 Tremendous applause greeted his protestation that Frances ideals were essentially pacific and when he declared war no longer is possible we will have none of it."
 Part of the speech was concerned with internal politics. He demanded a union of true republicans, democrats and socialists against the nationalist bloc which supports Premier Poincare He did not mention the communists, thereby intimating that his appeal for the formation of Left bloc excluded them.

GOMPERS SCORES SOVIET RECOGNITION
Says Britain's Act Is Hostile To
 Democracy

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-British
 recognition of the soviet government is an act hostile to democracy and an
 act that ''the British government and
 the British people will regret" in the opinion of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who in a communication to the Brook lyn Daily Eagle has made public for the first time his stand on this matter.
 Tt is not possible to compromise in any way whatever with the autocracy of the Moscow communist regime,i' Mir. Gompers' statement said. Every con- promise is to some extent a victory for the sOviets and consequently a loss to the friends of democracy. No com mercial reason is strong enough to jus, 'tify such an act. No reason of political expediency is strong enough. As to the question of principle involved, it ought to be the only question considered. It is inconceivable that representatives of any free people should so far forget the facts in the case as to extend recogni- tion to regime which not only has no mandate from the people, but which has crushed all expression of freedom at home and which proclaims the destruc. tion of democracy through the world as its first and most important objective"

 Gen. Lazaro Cardenas, after q ron- ference at Guadalaiara with Gen. Joaquin Amaro, left for Solima, where he possibly will take over command oi the former rebel forces under Cri>piano Anzaldo who Cardenas reported 'lai ir- volted against the revolution, capturing Alvarado.

 Declaring that the occasion should not be one of mourning, but rather oi triumph and dedicationy MT. Tumulty said:
 "Yerily a mighty figure has fallen but the indominatable and uncon qucrablc spirit of Woodrow Wilson still is with us, an invisible and welcome guest of world in which it struggled not vainly--to free mankind from the thralldom, the bitterness, the ran. cour, the enslavement and the hatreds of war. - saa
 "The persistent underwriting of Wood. row Wilson, so often the subject of song and jest, was as mighty force in winning the war as the consummate strategy of Joffre and Foch."
 Stressing the humanness of Wilson Mir. Tumulty said:
 There was an aloofness and an aloneness about Woodrow Wilson, but it was the aloofness and the aloneness of the mountain peak looking down up on the valleys and seeing humanity as a big. pulsating, whole"
