him to have done what was suggest
ed in Boalt's story, and at the, same
time it is possible that Richardson
may have told Boalt that he did such
a thing. In that case the responsible
ity of the man writing the story would
be different from what it would be if
he had made up a story out of his
head.
''The method of dealing with the
matter from a censorship point of
view would be different l have stat
ed that nothing will be done in the
Boalt matter until the facts have
reached me-"
Secretary Garrison had received
from the White House the official
protest against the exercise of cen
sorship at Vera, Cruz and intimated,
though he did not say explicitly, that
such censorship was without his
knowledge and did not have his APP
prevail
Secretary of the Navy Daniels also
said that he was not satisfied with the
status of the matter and that it was
not on his orders that any embargo
had been placed on the sending of
news in regard to the trial.
He said he personally favored the
greatest publicity and had done ev-
erything properly with his Jurisdiction
to bring about such publicity. The
cable Office is under the jurisdiction
of the war department, it must be
remembered.
1t is understood, though the fact
cannot be officially verified, that the
president, in forwarding the News

test against the censorship, intimated
that such censorship was not neces-
sary.

for Harry Kendall Thaw. pending the
determination OF his petition for a
writ of habeas corpus to release him
from the custody of Holam A. Drew.
who Is now holding him by order of
the Judge of the District court in
New Hampshire. The application
was filed by VIM. A. Stone, formerly
governor OF Pennsylvania, Counsel
for Thaw. and was opposed by Deputy
Attorney General Kennedy, OF New
York State.
Kennedy asked for q week in which
to file a reply brief in opposition TO
the petition for bail.
The grounds on which bail Is asked
