PARADE OVER,
LEGION TURNS
T0BUS|NESS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept, Is
0.N.S0. - Catching its second
wind the seventeenth annual con
vention Of the American Legion
today got down to the rock bot
tom business Of determining its
policies for 1896, in preparation
for final sessions tomorrow.
Resuming business sessions
after yesterdays holiday, which
was given over to the Legion
parade and a series Of social
events, the 1,207 delegates this
morning started serious consider
alton of the resolutions which will
make up next years platform OF
the Legion and attempted to mar
row down its selection Of q 1886
convention site.
Award Of the convention was
looked for during the day, with
indications pointing toward
Cleveland.
Fight For Commander
When the Legion assembled
here Sunday, there were nine
candidates for national COM
mander to succeed Frank Bel
gano. of San Francisco. In the
next three days, a series Of
"horse trading" conferences mar
rowed the prospects to two.
Ray Murphy, of Iowa, and Harry
w. Colmery, of Kansas.
The commander will not be
elected until tomorrow and as
today'S sessions got under way
it was voiced about that the
group of "kingmakers" who usu-
ally determine the selection of
the national commander were
uncertain that either Murphy or
Colmery could command suf-
ficient strength to insure elec-
tion without floor contest.
There are 1907 delegates present,
with q majority necessary to
elect. Murphy, it was reported,
had reached his maximum
strength in prediction polls but
still could not command clear
cut majority. Colmery was also
reported shy of necessary votes
and the "kingmakers" were said
ito be closely inspecting the posi-
ton of five other aspirants-
Frank Rasch, of Kentucky; Villas
Whaley, Of Wisconsin; E. V. Cliff,
OF Minnesota; Daniel Doherty, of
Massachusetts,. and M. c. Devine,
of New Hampshire.

WALKER GIVEN
&
CLEAN BILL
BY JURY

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. AS.
Forest walker, Montgomery
County treasurer was not guilty
of any criminal act in failing to
collect approximately $465,0oo in
county taxes and street assess,
ments. The Montgomery County
grand jury so reported today in
ignoring evidence presented to 1t
by States Attorney James H.
Pugh, and failing to return an in.
dictment against the county
treasurer.
An audit Of the treasurer Of
flee and accounts, on which the
grand jury action in the case was
based, was authorized by the
Fusionist bloc Of the Board Of
County Commissioners shortly af,
ter they took office last Novem-
Der. The report was alleged to
have revealed several irregulari-
ties in the Walker accounts.
When the auditors report was
made public several months ago,
Mr.. Walker pointed out to the
board Of county commissioners
that more than 100000 of the al.
legged amount uncollected repre-,
sented special street assessment
on which a moratorium had been
declared and which he could not
legally collect until the levy year
1935-1936.
This street assessment, Mr..
Walker declared. although carried
on the books for the past two
years and charged against his Of
flee, was not collectable until 1896,
as the State legislature had given
taxpayers affected by the assess
mentS a two-year moratorium due
to shortage of money caused by
the depression. He pointed out
under this legislative act he was
unable to advertise the property
for delinquent tax sale because
this assessment had not been paid.
The balance of the alleged un-
collected amount he said could be
accounted for by inSolvencies al
lowed by the board of county COM
missioners and by a list Of proper
ties purchased by the county at
tax sales.
During the time he was accused
of irregularities, Mr.. Walker has
maintained that his accounts and
office were in good condition, and
that he stood ready to account
for any amount he may be charged
with not collecting.

Open Time Drawback

The only drawback to the use
of this library is the limited
time it is open. During the week
days it is open from 9 a. m. to
4:3O p. m. and starting the first
Sunday in october it will be open
each Sunday afternoon and eve
ming. For those who are regularly
employed, this schedule limits
the use to Sundays, and entirely
prevents the use during the sum-
mer months, when it it not open
Sundays.
Music may be examined at the
library, but not be taken from the
reading room except for the pur-
pose of photostating. Books
about music may be loaned by
holders of the regular Library Of
Congress permits. If the Music
Division were used by more
people, doubtless Congress would
appropriate enough funds to al
low the library to be open each
evening.
At present, one may go to the
Music Division, which is located
in the left wing on the ground
floor of the Library Of Congress,
and seldom find more than three
readers at the tables. Occas-
