clared that England mas in mind moth
ing that can be the slightest menace

WILL URGE DANIELS
TO PARDON DESERTER
Congressman Will Take Case
of Norman Curry Before
Naval Secretary.

The case of Norman o. Curry, sent
cnCed as navy deserter while uE-
DEF Iarola in the Supreme Court OF
the District and now serving an
eighteen months term in prison at
Portsmouth. n H.. while his wife
and children are penniless, will be
brought TO the attention of the par
doning powers tomorrow by Congress
man webb of North Carolina. Mr..
Webb will ask Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels to approve a recommendation
for a pardon for Curry so that the
case may be brought directly to the
attention of President Wilson.
CongressmanW BIB has no doubt that
clemency will he extended in this un-
usual case when IL Is called to the at
tention of the President and Secretary.
If any obstacle Is raised. however, he
Is prepared to fight. because he holds
it to be an unheard-of thing to take a
man who is obeying the mandate of one
branch of tire Government and imprison
him for disobeying the mandate of an
other branch.
Desertion Is Denied.
"a man can't serve two masters"
says Congressman Webb. Here is a
man who was taken out of the navy
after serving a short enlistment and
brought to Washington to answer
charges of non-support. He pleaded
guilty to these charges and sentence
was suspended and he was placed on
probation on condition that he care
for and support his wife. He did so
support his wife, obeying the mandate
of this court, for seven months. Then
he was taken prisoner for desertion,
when he did not desert, but was taken
forcibly out of the navy and brought
back to Washington. The whole pro-
ceeding is ridiculous and absurd. There
Congressman Webb's interest in the
Curry case WAS aroused when The
Times called attention to the pittable
condition in which Mrs. Curry and her
two children were left when the bread
winner was taken away from them and
imprisoned.
Readers of The Times, moved By the
condition of the penniless family, raj
lied to their support, and temporary
aid was given them. Baskets Oh pro-
visions were donated and sS In money
was subscribed and turned over to Mrs.
Curry to care for her immediate needs.
Money Dwindling Fast.
The supply of provisions now is prac-
ticaIly gone II was necessary to pay
$40 of the $50 out for back rent, and
this months rent is now due while
the money is dwindling away day by
day to keep the little family from going
hungry. Mrs. Curry wants her hus-
band restored TO her. She has obtained
a Job for him in the same place where
he was working when he was taken
from her.
She is assured of a comfortable living
IL the Government can be induced to
believe that Curry has been sufficiently
punished, and that there Is no need of
continuing the punishment when help
less woman and two girls, little more
than ha hies are the real sunerers
