BRUTAL OFFICERS
FOUND GUlLTLESS
IN ZABERN AFFAIR

Strassburg. Jan. 12.-Court martial
today acquitted all the German off,
GERS charged with breaches of the law
in connection with the recent vio-
lent incidents between the military and
civilians of Zabern. The military
Judges in all cases accepted the word
!nf the officers against the sworn tes-
timony OF the civilian witnesses.
Colonel Won Reuter-, commander Of
the Ninety-ninth infantry, was charged
with wrongful imprisonment, but the
court found his acts justitiable.
Lieutenant Schad, accused of strik-
ing a prisoner, was released by the
same court on the ground that the
charge had not beeen proved.
Lieutenant Baron Won Forstner won
ms appeal before a second courtmar-
imprisonment imposed on him on De
cember 10, 1913, for sabering a lame
shoemaker.
Won Reuter- Upheld.
hi justification of Colonel Won
Reuters acts We're based by the court
on a decree issued by the king of
Prussia in 1920, which gave the right
TO the military to intervene without
waiting for a request from the civil
authorities in case the latter were pow
erless to suppress disorders. This de-
cree was inserted in the most recently
issued army service instructions. and is
valid at the present date in Alsace.
The decree was issued at the time
of holy alliance, which existed from
1915 to 1880 between the European
sovereigns and was not intended to
perpetuate the reigning dynasties and
prevent revolutions.

civilian prisoners overnight, although
recognized by the court as illegal in

the transfer of the prisoners at night
a caused most serious disorders.
Stoned and InsuIted.
The president of the court martial
IN explaining the verdict of acquittal
said it had been established by the
evidence that the officers of the
Ninety-ninth infantry regiment had
been constantly insulted and stoned by
civilians in Zabern and on one occa-
sion shots had been fired. The court,
he said. was convinced that the civil
authorities of the town had failed to
act with the necessary energy in sup
pressing the outbreaks and in the opin-
lon of the court the military Officers
were undoubtedly justified in arresting
the people who had insulted them.
The court ordered that the costs Of
the suit should be paid by the state.
simultaneously with the %acquittal OF
Colonel Won Reuter- and Lieutenant
Schad, another courtmartial was con-
vened to hear the appeal of Lieut.
Baron Won Forstner, of the same regi-
ment, against a sentence of 43 days
Imprisonment for having sabered q
lame shoemaker In Zabern. 1t de-
veloped in the testimony that Lieuten-
ant Won Forstner had been condemned
to six days confinement in barracks
for having used the word "rowdy" in
referring to Alsatians.
Owing to the great interest taken in
the two court martials, the police OF
S%trassburg took most extensive pre-
cautions to prevent disorders. -

ANNA GOULD LOSES
APPEAL TO CHURCH
High Court of Catholicism Up
holds Decree of An
nullmeut.

Rome. Jan. 12.-Segnatura tribunal,
the high court of the Roman curia,
today rejected the appeal of The
duchess De Tallegrand formerly
Anna Gould, of New York; from the
verdict of the Rota tribunal annulling
her marriage to her first husband,
Count Boni De Castellane.
Anna Gould was married to Count
Boni De Castellane in 1895 n OBJ
tanned a divorce from him in 1906,
through the civil courts of Paris. She
married the present Duke De Talley-
rand in London in 1908.
In 1910 Count Bon applied to the
vatican to have his marriage to Anna
Gould annulled. On December &c. 1911,
h application was rejected by the
congregation of the council.
In March. 1913, the Rota tribunal IN
Rome reheard the case with fresh evil
dence, and reversed the former decree,
thereby granting the annullment to
Count Boni.
The Duchess De Talleyrand ap-
pealed to the Apostolic Segnatura tri-
bunal, which today rejected her appeal.
The annullment of her church mar
riage to Count Boni therefore stands
for the present.

Since the break in prices in corn fol-

MCPHERSON is FLAYED
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. IA spirited
attack on tn acts of Judge Smith Nc

in the Missouri railroad rate cases, was
made by John T. Barker, attorney gem
eral of Missouri, today at a hearing
conducted by Judge Mcpherson pre-
paratory to entering a final decree dis
missing the cases in accordance with
a recent decision of the United States
supreme court holding the state rate
laws constitutional.
Attorney General Barker asked that
Judge Mcpherson dismiss the injunc-
lions dissolved by the supreme court
decision at once, without further argu-
ment or delay, and lie the
judge did not do this the state would
go to the United States supreme court
and obtain an order he would obey"
You cannot continue to police this
state for the railroads." shouted Mr..
Barker; you cannot always act to
save them from hurt"

lowed the filing Of a supplemental bill
in the case by the railroad lawyers,
asking MCPHERSON to enjoin the at
torney general from prosecuting suits
brought in state courts against the
railroads to collect millions Of dollars

laws were in litigation.

tanning to what extent there is manip.

Senator Sterling, who has returned
from South Dakota, talked today about
the depression of corn prices.
He ascribed it In part to removal Of
tariff and consequent importations and
in part to manipulation IN boards OF
trade and said he had heard complaints
from farmers while in the state.
Senator Sterling expressed the belief
the situation would get attention whcn
the question of legislation affecting
future dealing in agricultural products
situation is an illustration of how re-
moval Of tariff does not always aid the
consumer and that the legislative knife
will have to sink deeper before the
public gets any relief. In this case he
holds producers are getting hurt and
the consuming public is getting no

INFLATED TO
CURE TUBERCULOSIS
Government Officials Are Hope.
full of New Method of
Treatment.

Washington, Jan. IA new method
of treating tuberculosis is being in
~vestigated by the public health service
through experiments at Fort Stanton.
N. M, and officials of the service last
night said they We're inclined to be
hopeful of important results.
The method is known as artificial or
induced pneumo-thoraX. Air is
pumped into the patients pleural cav
lty to maintain pressure and the re-
suits watched by means of M-rays to
ascertain the extent to which the dis
eased lung is compressed. The lung,
figuratively, is put into an air splint'
and nature given a chance to cure.
The reports so far tell only of the
progress of the experiments and the
officials, while optimistic, said it was
too early to prophesy. They believe.
however. that it may prove effective in
any stage of disease.
