The Department of the District Of Co
lumbia which jumped from fifty-eightn

tenSive membership campaign carried
on by Department Commander Harlan
Wood, will in all probability lead this

paign, will not likely send delegation

yention city from the Pacific Islands
and in view Of this fact the Department
of the District of Columbia is expected
tn step out in the front ranks for the
first time in the history Of the local de-
partment.

sisted of Is coaches. picking up an adj
ditional one at Cumberland. Md. The

LOUISVILLE, KY, September o.
The advance guard of the American
Legion, many of its members survivors
OF those hordes that swept down upon
the Marine, the Mouse and the Argonne,
swept down upon Louisville today for
their national convention, which opens
here Monday.
The city was ready to welcome the
Nations heroes. The streets literally
were banked with flags and bunting
and banners shouted welcome buddieS"
every few feet.
The general advance was led by
Comdr. Paul V. McNutt of indianapolis.
who came in during the morning to
be welcomed by the cheers of hundreds
Of Legionnaires gathered at the depot.
After being welcomed by committees
and shaking hands all around, Comdr.
McNutt was taken to the office of
Mayor William Harrison, who officially
welcomed him on behalf of the city.
II expect this to be the greatest
convention in the history of the
Legion" Comdr. McNutt told Mayor
Harrison.
The commander arranged for confer
ences with various convention ofnclals'
States Represented.
Meanwhile, special trains, automo-
bileS. planes and BUSES poured into
Louisville, all bearing their quotas OF
Legionnaires. Outfits from New York
City, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Oklahoma, Florida, Ohio, Illinois. Dis
trict of Columbia, Wisconsin. Michigan.
California. Indiana and other States
were in the advance guard.
The first arrival by air was tri-
motored plane from Valley Station
N. Y, bearing Robert Peed, Robert
Chew and Harry Van LEV. Scores OF
planes are expected, and Legion officials
say the dirigible Los Angeles will be
here Tuesday If the weather permits
Despite the hustle of pre-convention
activities Los Angeles and Boston dele
gates already had entrenched to start
their battle for the 1880 convention, and
glowing statements were emanatinG
from both camps.
AS preparations went forward Legion
officials joined in declaring that rumors
that the convention might be rough
were entirely without foundation.
Among arrivals today were Judge
Jose Soto and DR.. j. Lastra Chariez
representing $4,000 war veterans OF
Frankfort, KY, to present their respects
in behalf of the Governor OF Porto Rico
to Gov. Elem D. Sampson of Kentucky
Spectacular Events.
The Forty-and- Eight, fun-making
body of the Legion, already has en-
trenched and officials were making
plans for a torchlight parade and
"grand wreck" to follow the Legion
parade Tuesday. Scores of drum and
bugle corps, more than 100 floats and
some $4,000 marcherS are expected tc
participate in the parade proper, and
officials estimate it will take five hours
for the procession to pass the review
ing stand.
Automobile races Sunday will open
the program and from then on every
minute of the days and good share
of the nights will be filled with activi-
ties, including drum corps and march
ing competitions. polo games. dances
impromptu shows and extemporaneous
fun making.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. Md. September o.
Holding that the prohibition agents
exceeded their authority in raiding the
premises solely on a sense of smell
and without a warrant, Judge William
C. Coleman in Federal Court dismissed
charges of unlawful manufacture and
possession of liquor against Arthur
Suit and William D. TapD of Wash
ington, and Thomas Miller, jr., of
Silver Spring. Md
According to the testimony a number
of prohibition agents broke down the
door of a garage leading to Miller's
apartment, arrested the three defend
ants and seized still along with a
large quantity of alleged whisky mash.
In granting the motion of counsel Tor
the defense Judge Coleman said:
Il think the principle, though not
the facts, in the De Pater and related
cases does govern me in this situation.
I can only reporte that these cases, as
1 construe them, are intended to be
/ warning to agents to use the utmost
care with respect to their proceedings
regarding private dwellings.
This court must construe the law as
