HEARING ON APPEAL.
Case OF Marine Released From Service
Under Habeas Corpus Writ.

Hearing took place yesterday in the Court
of Appeals of the case based on the release
of Harry F. Harris by writ of habeas
corpus from the Marine Corps. The appeal
was taken by the government from the de-
cision of Chief Justice CIabaugh of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, who granted the ap-
plcation of the petitioner for a discharge
upon the writ of habeas corpus upon the
ground that the petitioner was an infant
under the age of twenty-one years. and,
therefore, his enlistment was unlawful.
The government contended that while sec
ton l117 of the Revised Statutes prohibits
minors from enlisting in the military Serv-
ice of the United States. the section refer
red to does not apply to the Marine Corps.
upon the theory that the Marine Corps Is
part of the navy and is subject to the par
ticular regulations governing the navy
which, 1t is commended. do not require the
consent of a parent or guardian where the
infant is over eighteen years of age.
Young Harris enlisted In July, 1903. with
out the consent of his parents, declaring
himself to be over twenty-one years OF age.
In December. 1908. his father took steps to
have him released upon the ground that
he is only nineteen years Of age, and that,
as parent his father was entitled to his
services until he attained his majority.
The government was represented by
United States Attorney Beach and Assistant
United States Attorney Adkins. and the
petitioner by Attorneys Lambert q Baker.
