JUDGE HITS SHERIFF
IN DRUGGAN RULING

CHICAGO. Oct. Federal Judge
James II. Wilkerson holds Sheriff
Peter Hoffman directly responsible for
the conduct of the Cook county Jail.
Thus. the liberties which Terry
Druggan and Frank Lake enjoyed
while serving a federal sentence for
contempt of court, fall upon the head
Of the sheriff in whose custody the
millionaire beer barons were placed,
the federal jurist said.
Judge Wilkerson plainly indicated
in his statement at the close of his
investigation into the Jail scandal
that he would hold the sheriff in con.
tempt of court.
His statement was based on a Ten
nessee court decision involving a shcr-
iff who removed federal prisoner into
the jurisdiction of a state court.
SHERIFF Hoffman issued a mum
Der of passes, and therefore must be
responsible for a large part of tn,
situation" Judge Wilkerson said in
continuing his analysis of the Drug
gan-Lake scandal.
The proper procedure would have
been for him to 20 into federal court
and obtain court order for Druggar
to visit even his dentist. There may
be no departure from the federal writ
Without passing on this case ]
will say the question of law is whether
the defendant can be held in criminal
contempt for the acts of the superin,

LACK OF MONEY
RETARDS PLAN !
OFF, DEFENSE
Delafield Says Systen
Failure Is Not Due
y to Anefficiency.

KANSAS CITY. Oct. 1.-CP-
Slowness in development of the ma
tional defense system mapped out in
the act of 1920 is almost wholly due
TO lack of funds and not TO ineffi-
cheney or lack of interest by the War
Department in the citizen-soldier ele-
ments Of the plan. Brigadier General
John Ross Delafield Of New York,
president of the Reserve Officers AS
ISOLATION, said this today in presenting
his annual report to the fourth annual
convention of the organization.
"Our experience of the World War;
said General Delafield, showed clear
ly that We then had no adequate ma.
tional defense and it was realization
of that fact that so aroused the peO-
pie and Congress that they passed the
national defense act of 1920. =.
But the act itself will not help us
without the people putting it into eff
feet. The government cannot put 1t
into effect. All that the national de-
Tense act does is TO give us a plan to
defend ourselves, which, if the people
choose, they may voluntarily put into
effect.
"The peculiar position Of the re-
serve officers in this great organiza-
ton is due to the fact that under the
law they are, except when on active
duty. free to do as any other citizen
would. to express their opinions free
ly and to advocate any measures they
may desire.
1T is they, therefore. who are best
fitted to present this data to the peo-
pie. to stir up the enthusiasm and
morale required and to bring before
Congress the information they desire
in order to enable them to pass intel
ligently upon the financial question
and other questions involved"

ARREST DEPUTY
WHO RUNS
A|MUCK
Throws Mother-in-law Out
Of House and Beats.
Wife.

Because he thought more of an idle
friend than he did of his family, a
special deputy sheriff ran amuck in
his home Thursday morning. Va
threw his mother in-law out of his
house into the rain and whipped and
choied his wife when she protested,
according 10 reports to police.
Now the special deputy and his
friend, also % years old. are in jail
the one charged with disturbing the
peace, the other with vagrancy.
REFUSED MONEY
Following their arrest by Officer
Christoph, the deputy's wife told Po-
lice Captain Brown her husband con-
tinually ran around with and spent his
money on the friend but that he re-
fused TO give her any money for
household needs.
When the deputy and his friend
came in Thursday morning after
spending the night out, she said, she
asked him for % cents with which TO
buy some coffee for breakfast.
He refused to give her the money,
she told Captain Brown. and then her
mother, who lives with them, urged
that he supply some money with which
to get something for breakfast.
FILES COMPLAINT
At the behest of his friend, the wife
said, he thereupon attacked the older
woman and threw her from the house.
After he had disposed of his mother
in-law he turned his attention to his
wife, whipping and choking her, Cap
tain Brown was told.
Neighbors, hearing the quarrel in
the meantime had called palice and
Officer Christoph arrived in time 10
stop the husbands attack on his wife.
The wife filed the complaint against
her husband.
