the task of defending either mj

Saloon League. In tbe abstract,
much could not with ease be iusti
fied ethically. 1 am onlv setting

One of the most difficult lessons
for the drys to learn, he says was
that a man’s personal habits as to
drink did not necessarily iffect hi*

supporters.” he says, “were met)
who occasionally took a drink and
some of them took it more than

Mr. Johnson tells stories of how
tbe Anti-Saloon League was able
to have a thousand telegrams from
a Congressman’s constituents
placed on the Congressman’s desk
within twenty-four hours. He re

preferred by the general adjourned
under ciiv urns lancet leaving no.
doubt as to his conviction.
While the court made no comment
nr announcement other than it had.
adjourned the circumstances were a
tacit adiniumion that it believed the
colonel guilty of appearing drunk in
the public rooms of the hotel Del
Coronado the night he gave a dinner
party in honor of General Butler.
Officers familiar with court-mar
tial procedure explained as the court
departed that adjournment without
definite announcement of acquittal is
a military court’s courteous way of
informing a defendant he has been
convicted.
Findings and recommendations of
the court will be sent, direct to the
nidge advocate general of the navy
at Washington and communicated
by him. together with hit* recom

Dismissal from service is the
maximum penalty possible under the
naval regulations but in canes not in
volving drunkenness on duty, the
sentence usually does not exceed re
duction in rank or numbers.
Colonel Williams was not on duty
when, as testified, by General But
ler during the trial “he was full at
his home and staggering, giggling
drunk at the hotel.’’
