NS \UOETOB FOLGHT w Compelling Life Term for | Fourth Felony Faces Bit- ' ter Opposition. ?fi the Associated Press, LANSING. Mich., November 3 — _The new State criminal code that re- quires a life sentence for any person convicted of a fourth felony probably L will be subjected to attack in the next Legislature if it is upheld by the Lcourts Commenting on announcement that i8N appeal will be taken in the case of }red Palm of Lansing. who was sen- {1enced to lite imprisonment when he pleaded guilty to possession of a pint of liquor, State Senator Seymour Per- son of Lansing announced he would etk to have the new code amended so the life sentence could be given in the discretion of the court. He said there also might be an effort to limit the life-sentence provision to major felo- nies. Upheld by Governor. ‘red W. Green, In upholding aw, declared it was unfortunate that Palm’s fourth conviction was based upon the possession of a small amount of liquor. because this fact had induced perhaps unwarranted sympathy from persons disagreeing with the classification of such an of- fense as a felony. He sald Palm's sentence to life im- prisonment was not for this offense, but hecause he had behind him a 'string of serious offenses, which caused him to be adjudged an habltuas criminal Case to Be Contested. Harry F. Hittle, Lansing attorney, has been retained to carry the Palm case to the State Supreme Court. He expects Louis A. Cuvillier. New York Assemblyman and counsel for the Na- tional Constitutional Liberty League, to arrive here Saturday to co-operate with him.

CHICAGO, Novembes 3.—Mayor Thompson has replied tc a suit for an injunction restraining him or -his subordinates from estroying pro- British bhooks of the Chicago Public Library with the remars, “I can burn the books, but I won't.” Chief among the ccntentions set forth in the mayor’s renly, which will be filed in the form of a demurrer hefore Circuit Judge Fisher today, were the following: Citizens do not hav® the right to unrestricted use of 0ooks in the Public Library.
