Island yesterday after Big Bill Devery.
one Of the chief stockholders In the com
pany. had put up q bond Of 81 1900. Smedley
admitted that be was induced to come to
New York by 90 advertisement printed In
an English newspaper.
This. according to decisions Of the Gov
ernment. puts smedley in the category
OF contract laborers. But there are other
features OF his case that. Mr.. Devery de-
clares. may enable him to stay hare. There
are no expert weavers In America compe-
tent to teach apprentices the art and. Mr..
Devery says, the sending back OF Smedley
would be a loss to an American industry
that should be promoted. Mr.. Devery
says that the union weavers who CON-
planned against Smedley and cause his
arrest are unable themselves TO teach the
art Of weaving. He offered all Of them big
money to 10 so and all declined TO under
take the task.
Mr.. Devery hopes 20 persuade the Gov
crnment to let Smedley stay, because he
will assist in teaching the young American
workrnen how. TO weave. The case has
been sent to Washington for decision.

The court-martial Of Capt. Herbert j.
Hirshinger OF the United States Marine
Corps for neglect OF duty in connection
with the robbery Of 5000 worth OF goods
from the Brooklyn navy yard was begun
on Wednesday and wound up yesterday.
Capt. Hirshinger was post quartermaster
at the yard some months ago. when a
qu~artermaster- sergeant named Grogan sold
the Gov property in his charge
10 outside parties and then deserted. The
court OF inquiry ~exonerated Capt. Hirsh-
niger. but the Washington authorities
disapproved the finding and ordered the
court-martial.
Capt. Hirshinger was able TO show both
by his own witnesses and those for the
prosecution that his duties were 80 onerous
that he was unable to maintain a continued
and close personal watch over the goods
in the quartermaster's department. IL
was contended that his duties as purchasing
agent for Cuba and the Panama Canal strip
were 50 pressing thai he was necessarily
absent from the clothing room for a great
part Of his time and that il was necessary
to trust the keys TO subordinates. 1t was
shown that Sergeant Grogan had a fine
record during his seventeen years service
and was trusted generally.

Many people in Barton are slowly

sluggishness of the important organs
of digestion fills the system with fer

results in sick headache, heartburn,
bad taste in the mouth, and many
other symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are for the
special relief of such sufferers. They
quickly cure the worst cases of indi-

pain and distress often felt after
meals will disappear.
Mi-on stomach tablets cost but so
