In each instance many questions were asked but it was said little show cf hostility on the part of any committeeman. The confer- ence at the White House lasted for an hour and a half and that at the cap- itol more than an hour.

The agreement between the tAmerican relief administra- tion and the sovie tauthorities at Riga was accepted by the council and it was arranged that all the associations should co-operate under the relief administra- tion in the distribution of supplies.

New Haven; Aug. 24.—Announcement ‘was made here tonight that the contro- versy between the executive committee of the American Legion, department of Connecticut, and Avery D. Toohey and Maurice M. Toohey of New Haven has Deen settled. The legion hereafter will issue the Connecticut Legion News, which has been published for some time by Avery D. Toohey and his father. It was stated that a suit brought by Toohey against officers of the legion had been dropped and that the legion had paid the Tooheys for their interests in the Con- necticut Legion News and for advertising contracts.
