POINT BARROW, Alaska. May 80

important part of the mission we were

| ciaD.-F. Herbert Bennett of Wash
lngton was found not guilty by Judge
Robert B. Peter in the Circuit Court
here yesterday on an indictment
charging him with embeZzling $500
from William Il. Westlake, formerly
proprietor of Dixie Tavern. Rockville.
The case was tried Several weeks
ago and Judge Peter reserved his de-
clslon to consider n point raised by
Bonnett's attorneys, e. Steadman
Prescott and Walter Dawson of
Rockville. namely. that the proof adj
duced at the trial as to Bonnett's con-
nection with the hotel was at variance
with the allegation of the indictment
In that 1t showed that he was a minor
employe and not manager as set forth
IN the indictment. Judge Peter de-
clded that the point was well taken
and freed the Washingtonian on the
technicality.
In announcing his decision Judge
Peter made it plain that the evidence
convinced him that Bonnett had re-
tanned money belonging to Westlalle
ana that his acquittal was due alone

army of 100000 members to combat
the widespread publicity of the "wet

today. The million workers will seek
to blast with figures and facts
and publicity of the i-prohibitioa
forces tending to shoW that prohlbl-
tion is failure.
Mrs. Frances S. Parks, national sec
retary, outlined the plan in an ad-
dress at the afternoon session. It
was shown that already 100000 bona
fide members have been enrolled in
the campaign. The plan for the wan
against the ''wets' followed the key
note address delivered at the morn1ns
session by Mrs. ALA A. Boole, OF
Brooklyn, national pres dent, waen
she sounded the battle cry against the
most insidious propaganda movement
in the history of the United States.
She declared that this movement was
efficiency organized and backed by
the Association Against the Prohib'-
ton amendment, aimed through wide
publicity to create public dissatisfac'
ton with the law, hoping in the emo
to gain some action looking towards
its appeal.
Denials were made by speakers tina:
the prohibition amendment was put
ever on the people while the boys
were overseas others also recited
that attendance in high schools and
colleges has increased greatly since
prohibition and that savings of the
man have also increaaec
