PREPARE TO KEEP PEACE LEGION AIM Service Men’s Organization Favors World Court to Help Adjust Squabbles of Nation, National Commander McQuigg Says. WILL STAND BEHIND ANY ANTI-WAR CONFERENCE But Keep Powder Dry, Is Warning of Leader — Executive Committee Declares for Unified Land, Air and Sea Defense. “Put your faith in peace, but keep your powder dry.” This is the basic idea of the American Legion, National Commander John R. McQuigg said today in explaining denunciation of anti-national defense propaganda by the Legion executive committee Friday. “The Legion will etand squarely behind the President in any steps he takes toward a peace conference.” McQuigg said. “It believes firmly in the World Court, not as a cure all of all*, internftional ills, or a total preventive of war, but as a measure which will help adjust difficulties between nations. Keep Judgment “We must ' not allow our enthusiasm for peace to warp our judgment. The World Court can not change human nature. It can not remove man’s cupidity of a nation's thirst for power and dominion, when that nation thinks it is strong enough to wins “It is or duty as a nation to do all we can honorably to promote world peace and to speed the <isy when war is nO more. But mean|i time we must use methods, sugh sis our National Defense act, to be sure that nothing happens, to this country. It is unthinkable that a nation of 110,000,000 people should abandon peace precautions. “The Legion knows what war is and It does not want any more, but it does want tn preserve the nation for which thousands of our boys gave their lives.” Commander McQuigg left today for Oklahoma where he make several I speeches. Later he will go to New Jersey. Conference Ends The executive committee, which concluded a two-day conference here Friday, went on record for a national air program. The committee was ‘impreesM with tho proposal for a single department of national defense under a civilian secretary, with assistant secretaries for land, sea and air forces,” she resolution said. Establishment of a bureau of aeronautics in the Department of. Commerce, as a means of aiding civilian and commercial aviation was advocated. extension of air mail and construction of lighted airways were other points. Commander McQuigg was authorized to call a national conference of organization favoring national defense. DUVALL WOULD DE REAL HEAD? Events Indicate Mayor Aspires to Be Independent. Events of the past few days today led some political observers to believe Mayor John L. Duvall intends to be the Big Boss at city hall, refusing to heed the demands of George V. Coffin, Kepublican city chairman, and of the Ku-Xlux Klan when his judgment dictates otherwise. Among Indications that Duvall intends to be the real executive of the city administration was c.ited the fact that when a department head hesitated about appointing two minor employed, consulting Coffin meanwhile, Duvall sent the department head a peremptory order to obey the. mayor's orders and obey them at once. The observers also cited that the park and health hoards left over from tile Shank administration haVff, not been ousted, despite CoWn and KJan pressure. .

PRECEDING REGIME ASSAILED BY BOARD Safety Group Says Shank Administration Cut Budget Too Much —One Building Inspector to Be Dismissed.

Budgfet difficulties faced by the board of safety today .were ascribed as due to "the pusillanimous ad- 1 ministration that tried-to hamper us,” by O. D. Haskett, board president. The 1926 budget was designated by the shank administration. Haskett’s anger was aroused by discussion over necessity of reducing building inspectors from six to five, and by a shortage in funds to replace outworn fire department equipment. The bopfd instructed F. Hamilton, building commissioner, to dismiss one inspector when it was found the building code ordinance allows six inspectors, but the budget provides sot- only five. Haskett deplored the fact that “the $26,000,090 building industry, one of the grandest in the city In recent years, must be hampered and curtailed by insufficient funds to hire enough inspectors. “It would be deplorable to dwarf this trade, because of a few dollars Li salaries." John A\ George, board member, said. “The business men demand efficient development of this major industry.” Haskett read a letter from a

Even Chemist Is Stumped on This 1 -IT ’Twould Take a Week to Find Liquor in Booze Sample.

By Hyde Byers B"— 1 YERS—This beifig the sixth anniversary of the day prov__J hibition was supposed to go in effect, how about a little feature yarn on it? You know—the old line about the poison in the stuff they’re drinking, etc. —City Editor. Imagine that! "Supposed to Cos In Effect!" “You Know!” Ho should I know, more than he, about it? The assignment struck me about as tough as finding the “Lost Chord,” which must've been lose a long time, because nobody’s found it. But Brutus —the city’s editor —- doesn't like to kid back and forth with us hired girts after he's said, “How about” doing tjiis and that, which means do it. I went to see Ansell Harris, the United States new rurh gumshoe, figuring on getting a bottle of the stuff to get analyzed. A Brand New One r_,' J H’ Eh! Ha! Ha!” quoth he. IK ' “Want to get it analyzed, Lj—* 1 huh? They’ve been here wanting; it for colds, snakebites, fainting spells, stomach trouble and tuberculosis, but nobody ever come right out and said they actually wanted to analyze it. Use a bottle of your own.” That last sounded like a dirty -crack, but reporters have to be mannerly or they don’t get anything —not a drop. I went over to Police Station to see Captain Herbert Fletcher. He politely explained it simply wasn’t “being done,” since “Dear Jerry” wasn't boss and Judge Orbison's friends didn’t have any 14-year-old girls dying from pneumonia. Simon Legree—the city’s editor sometimes is called that, too—was adamant. ' Prohibition's birthday must be fittingly observed with a poison booze story. Aha! A Bottle -' HAVING failed to get the story IJ in several hour's time I * *1 wasn't on very good terms with the last source I knew of. But finally I popped the question and the city's editor dug down in bk desk and got out the bottle. “Now,” he began, and I found out it; flas the truth, “this is sxcnpla'of *idhe booze the Federal agents gy up in Warsaw after some out of the same jug killed a man and put his wife in a hospital. Go get it i analyzed.” Like John D. Rockefeller says I about making money, it's easy when | you know how. Hard on Tost Tubes mTQDK it over to City Chemist Jesse R. Dunwoody. He poured a little out in & test tube and put in & dash of something, looked at it, smelled it, and said: "I better get that out of there. Those test tubes are Expensive.” Turning to me he said. ’’Why, that stuff's r-oison.” That was relief. At last I was going to get'the blasted story. “Yes. yes?” I urged him to go on, expecting to hear how many armies of men the poison in that little bottle by itself would have killed. “That's all there is to it. I though* you said that was liquor. It’s poison. It would take a week’s chemical search to find any liquor in there. And I'm too busy to take a week looking for liquor when I don't want any nohow." So, that, boy 9 and girls, is the kind- of stuff they’re drinking on prohibition's birthday. LOITERING PROHIBITED Professional Bondsmen Ordered Out of Courthouse hy Childers. Deputy County Clerk Frank Childers today instructed clerks to make a tour of corridors in the courthouse every hour and see that no professional bondsmen are loiter. ingor soliciting from prisoners.

CHIEF JOHNSON GIVES DEPARTMENT ORDER New City Official Says He Does Not Know of RuleMachines Had Been Sent to Shop Nearest Place They Were Found. Police Chief Claude P. Johnson today ordered police to send all stolen automobiles and wrecked cars, which they must dispose of, to the Swiss Garage, 1110 N. Illinois St., in which Roy C. Shaneberger, board of works president, is interested. He specifically ordered that cars must not be sent to the Statehouse Garage, 248 N. Capitol Ave., operated by a brother of Michael Glenn, inspector of detectives. The Swiss Garage, R. E. Meyere. manager, is said to be owned ami operated by the same company that operates the Swiss Clegners, 1118 NIllinois St., and which according to the city directory and members of the firm,'is under the guidance of Roy <C. Shaneberger, president; Harry Goode, vice president-treas urer, and R. D. McCord, secretary. Shaneberger In Dark Shaneberger said he did not know of the order or whether any arrangements on rates have been made with police. He said he presumed regular rates would bo charged those Whose autos are sent. In. Shaneberger Is president of the board of public works. The order supersedes one In effect since the latter part of the previous administration, when former Chief Herman F. Rikhoff ordered police to send machines to the garage nearest the place where the stolen or wrecked automobile was found. Rikhoff said his order came as the result of continuous protests from garage owners on the practice of giving,all the business to one garage. Rates Lower Rikhoff said he favored the State house garage because the managers offered the lowest pull-in rates and they agreed not to charge if the auto owne- objected to thetr fee of $1.50 for distances up to three miles and 75 cents a day storage. Other garages were from 100 to 200 per cent higher on pull-in rates, accord ing to llikfioff. According to Meyers the Bwis Garage will charge $1 for two miles pull-in providing the auto is on all wheels and no crane work !• re quirfcl; Persons familiar with police Work say the order moans a tremendous amount of business will be given the company. An average of 2,600 autos are recovered by police each year.
