TROOP D RENT

PRIVATE GETS A WARRANT FOR
OFFICERS ARREST
Soldiers Charge Lieutenant McComas
With threatening to XIII One
OF Them With a Revolver.
Story Is Denied

Troop d of the California National
Guard has, according to stories told by
members, been embroied in troubles
for several months which have threat
ened to cause the disbanding of the
troop and have now terminated in the
arrest of a second lieutenant on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Last Monday night the troop met at
the armory for drill. After the drill
a few games of indoor baseball were
played. Several of the men went to
the dressing rooms to change their
uniforms for their street clothes. Thus
far the stories of both sides agree.
According to Privates Pierson and
Litchwerk one of them was taking a
bath and the other changing his clothes
when Second Lieutenant McComaS en-
tered the dressing room They state
that he ordered them out of the room
and that they replied that they would
go when they had put on their clothes.
They claim that McComas left the
room and, being armorer, easily Sc
cured a revolver, which he pressed
against Litchwerk's breast and told
him that he would give him until he
counted three to get out of the room.
The privates say that McComas counted
three and that Litchwerk then asked
him why he didn't shoot. Other MEM
bers of the company, hearing the al
tercation rushed into the room and the
affair was smoothed over for the time
being.
Litchwerk swore to warrant Tues
day and McComas was arrested, but
was allowed to go on his own recogniz-
ance. McComas told his side of the
story to the district attorney yesterday
and said that there are number of
bullies in the company and that they
are hard to keep under control.

Special to The Herald.
CUMBERLAND, Md, June 6.-The
persistence of Miss Mary Edith Kirby
a member of Typographical union No
244, put an end to the strike which has
lasted nearly five months.
Miss Kirby was suspended shortly
after the strike began for refusing to
Join it. Last week she was reinstated
and was restored to membership
practically on her own terms
Miss Kirby's refusal to strike alone
made it possible to issue the Cumber-
land Evening Times after the strike
had been declared. Her action, too
crippled the strike at the outset and
eventually broke it, it is claimed.
Miss Kirby has been connected with
the Evening Times for 10 years. She
has been linotype operator for years
Previous to that she was a cofnpos-
itor.
She was a member of the Evening
Times chapel and when the latter jan
uary / demanded that the eight-houf
rule go into force, Miss Kirby pro-
tested.
She declared that the chapel lfad
entered into an agreement with the
Evening Times to work on the 8hs
hour basis until February l. Inns
agreement had been signed.
Miss Kirby said that for one, she
would stick to the agreement. Hac
she stopped, the Evening Times Woulo
have been in sore straits and the strike
would have been won in short order.
She practically unassisted, did al
the linotype composition for the paper
during the last five months. The
Evening Times was able to appear or

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 6.-Ber-
thold F. Dennhardt is mourning the
loss of a pocketbook with about $40
in good American money. Mr.. Denn-
hardt suddenly discovered a few days
ago that he had no safe hiding place
for the money around the house, and
having heard that thieves never look
in the most obvious or accessible places
for money, set out to find such place.
He decided that placing the money be-
hind a picture or under the carpet was
too old trick. In roaming around the
house his eye lighted upon his UNI
brella standing in the hallway.
"Ah, ha," said Berthold to himself.
He placed the pocketbook carefully
in the umbrella and hied himself
hence with great satisfaction. chuck
ling inwardly over the thought that
thieves could break in, but probably
couldn't steal when they struck Bert

Yesterday, however Frau Denn-
hardt thought to take a walk to the
house of a friend, a few blocks distant.
1t was raining. She picked up her
husbands trusty bombershoot and also
hied herself hence. When she opened
the umbrella the pocketbook fell out,
but Frau Dennhardt did not notice it.
On her return home she CHANGED to
fall in with her husband. He gave one
look at the umbrella and turned sew

could only gasp. Finally Frau Denn-
hardt learned the truth, and she, too,
became speechless. she couldn't re-
