Review Is Refused.
BY refusing to review the case,
the Supreme Court, in effect, up
held decision of the Court of Ap-
pealS that Beard was given a fair
trial and that his conviction was
justified by the evidence.
Government agents raided the eS-
tabliShment in the Mather Building
after tapping telephone wires leading
into the place. Beard contended evil
dence obtained by wire tapping could
not be used against him without vio-
lating his constitutional rights. 1t
also was asserted the Government had
failed TO show any of the defendants
were implicated beyond being seen in
the establishment. These contentious,
however, were overruled by the Appel
late Courts.

After his conviction last Spring,
Beard was sentenced to prison term
of from two to six years. Sentences
for the rest were from one to three
years each. They we're William Car

WOULD REFORM
ARMY AND NAVY
Representative BoiIeau Also
Urges Federal Control
of Arms.

Complete reorganization of the
Army and Navy into one department
Of national defense, and Government
tries was advocated today by Rep
resentative Boileau, Progressive, Of
Wisconsin, at the opening session of
George Washington University's Peace
Convocation.
Declaring that adequate national
defense can be provided when the re-
sources of men and materials are or
that any invasion can be repulsed,
Representative Boileau said United
States defense agencies should be re-
organized to eliminate all activities
designed primarily for aggressive war.
The country needs only a small
skeleton Army and Navy. he said.
Boileau also advocated legislation
to provide for universal conscription
Of all men and materials in case of
war. He said if the Army and Navy
are made into one defense body, and
both units are cut down instead of
being continually built up, taxpayers
will be saved millions Of dollars, "our
fighting units will be for defense only
and the public will be 100 per cent
behind the program"
In urging smaller Army and Navy,
Boileau said Americas wars always
have been won by the civilian army,
and not by the professional soldier.
During the World War, only 8 or 9
per cent of the regular standing
Army served overseas. The United
States does not need such a large
army of trained men.
The first speaker at this mornings
session was DR.. Herbert Wright, Cath
olic University, who discussed "The
United States Contribution to World
Peace" He said the country should
keep out of war by cooperating in all
peace movements, and by refusing to
cooperate with those agencies which
want war and agitate for it.
After the addresses, the speakers
were questioned by a student panel
composed Of Lillian Goodykoontz,
Thomas Gerow, Ross Pope, son of
Senator Pope; Frank Brisebois and
George Stephens.
The welcoming address was deliv-
cred by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent Of the university.
Two separate meetings were sched-
uled at 5:45 PM. with Representa-
tive Maverick of Texas, Col. Donald
Armstrong. U. 6. A.; William T.
Stone of the Foreign Policy Association
and Senator Schwellenbach Of WASH

Three conscientious young bandits

Supreme Court today when Chief
Justice Alfred A. Wheat refused to set
aside a Maryland divorce decree OBJ
tained by Mrs. Duncan from her for

The court held DR.. Tignor could not
maintain action to set aside the de-
cree, obtained in 1894, because he par
ticipated in divorce litigation.
Duncan and his wife were repre-
sented by Attorney Alvin L. Newmyer,
who argued that the marital status of

Sometimes" she sighed, "a whole
generation would get mislaid."
But she finally completed the job.
And now she is receiving a great
volume of mail from people who did

to prepare another edition. She has
not decided whether she will do that
or not.

which traces the line Of Charlemagne.

Among the amusing anecdotes of
earlier times which the book contains
is one about the sale of Cross Manor,
the oldest manorial hall in Maryland
and still standing, by Sir John Nut
hall for q horse and bride. Just why
he made this extraordinary bargain IS
not clear, unless he argued that land
was plentiful in the New World and
that blooded steeds were rare. His
descendants later tired to have the
sale set aside, but the courts held that
it was valid, as he had actually re-
ceived the horse and, one supposes,
the bride, too.

he had been drinking; she offered the

partook of freely; during this drink

got him into the boat and when her
chance arrived, she joined them and
they took him home. Later he was
