DICTIONARIES were unanimous today
in their denials of the assertions
of Or. Clarence True Wilson that
staggering DRINKS, yelling for
beer" disgraced the American
Legion convention at Detroit this
week. They commented as follows:
Howard P. Savage, Past National
COMMANDMENTS. Wilson has abso-
lutely no conception of the ideals
and purposes of the legion and he
is talking about something of which
he is utterly ignorant when he
comments on members of the legion
and their deeds.
Ivan A. Elliott, Commander ILL
nois Department of the Legion
When DR.. Wilson says that there
was a marked absence of the sober,
we'll behaved, typical American" at
the Detroit convention, he is posi-
lively insulting and disgusting to
the 100000 gentlemanly, sober, we'll
behaved, typical Americans who
actually attended the convention.
Major General Milton j. Fore
mani don't know where DR.. Will
son could have obtained his infor-
nation. He either was misinformed
or he carelessly has uttered SLAM
der on men who deserve better. Such
SANDER is typical of radical dry
and he has hurt only his own cause
by saying such things.
Former United States Senator
James A. Reed-Dr. Wilson prob
ably is the only fanatic in the
United States who would go so far
as to utter the wholesale SANDER
against the men who stood on the
battlefields of France and defended
the honor of the United States.

Right of a court to revoke an
unconditional suspended sentence,
legality of which never before has
been tested in this state, was left
undecided today, when motion for
change of venue was filed in Mrs.

writ of habeas corpus, where the
question is involved.
A hearing may be held in
superior court one Monday if
judges decide upon one of three
judges submitted by Superior Judge

Judge Kern ruled against petit
ton of Earl Stroup, deputy attorney
general, asking the court to quaSh
the habeas corpus petition of Mrs.
Ledgerwood of 2216 North Meridian
street, operator of the Oriental
Nook, alleged society liquor resort.
Stroup represents the superin-
tendent of the woman's prison,

a 180-day sentence on charge of
operating blind tiger. Mrs.
Ledgerwood declares she is serving a

that the municipal judge had no
right to revoke a sentence that had

from the Anti Saloon League today
a declaration that it is ready to
meet the issue at any time.
F. Scott Mcbride, general super

elimination of years of maneuver-
