UPPER MARLBORO, Md, September
3l.-Announcement Of an investigation
by Chief of Police ]. j. Crowley into the
posting of collateral by Deputy Sheriff
Thomas H. Garrison Tor woman ar
rested by q member of the police force
Is regarded here as the latest develop
ment In the feud between the Demo-
cratic police force and the Republican
Bheriff's ONCE.
The woman, identified on police rec
ords only as Eleanor Phillips Of Wash
ington, was arrested by County Police
man w. E. Clifton on charges of being
drunk and disorderly. She claimed a
washington policeman drove her to Sill
yer Hill and then put her out of his
car.
She was placed in the Marlboro Jail
for the night, police planning to quiz
her further in the morning concerning
the identity of her companion.
However, during the night Garrison
posted $3.50 collateral when she told
a story of having four children at
home. He declared States Attorney
Alan Bowie knew he posted the col
lateral, which he claims, was later re-
turned to him by the woman.
Justice of Peace Horace Taylor, who
accepted the collateral, said he had no

tuated only by humanitarian motives In
releasing the woman.
Chief Crowley regards the incident as
an attempt to discredit the activities of
the Police Department.

One Of Founders.
Gov. Roosevelt was one Of the Or
ganizers of the American Legion at
the close of the World War, through
which he served as a major in the 26th
United States Infantry, 1st Division.
THE Legion is the greatest force Of
modified manhood the country knows, ="
he said. 1T has the strength of a
giant. 1t has the responsibilities of that
strength. 1t can now serve the country
IN as splendid fashion as its members
did in 1917, but to do so our convention
must turn its thoughts to national
needs.
I'VE have gained in responsibility.

or our willingness to serve the country
In every manner that lies within our
power.
Danger As Grim as 1917.
breeds national danger. Today civili-
Zation is facing difficulties with as
grim and far-reaching possibilities as
those which it faced in 1917. The
economic system of the world is shaken
TO its very roots. Every great nation,
including our own, is confronting
problems on whose solution will depend
the manner and type Of life and type
Of government under which our children
and our children's children will live
We willingly served in the crisis of
the great VIZ. Has our flame of
patriotism dimmed since that time, or
do we stand willing to serve in the
same fashion today? That is the question
we must ask of our souls. That is
what the country is asking us now"

Against Treasury Paying.
Edward L. Newmarker. Connecticut:
Il believe no legislation should be en-
acted at the next session of Congress
to give outright funds Of the United
States Treasury for able-bodied World
War veterans. The veteran loan law
passed during the last session made
available the cash reserve accumulated
to retire the adjusted service compensa-
ton certificates at maturity. and q
small amount of money in excess of
the accumulated reserve by loaning so
per cent of the maturity value of the
certificates to their holders. This
amount Of loan about equals the 81
| and SIPS per day allotted the veteran
for domestic and foreign service, re-
spectiyely, which the Federal Govern
ment allotted as an adjustment In COM
pensation for the service Of World War
( veterans
MY belief Is that this sum should
! have been paid 40 the time the adjusted
compensation law was enacted in 1924
In view OF the fact that 1t was not,
and that 1t was made 20-year endow-
ment insurance policy, at the time of
any economic depression like we have
at present, when breadwinners must
make use OF all their assets to nav their
bills, there will be much sentiment for
the paying Of the adjusted compensa
ton service certificates In full.
1T appears to me there is enough,
