Judge Decides Reseryist May Garry Con-
cealed Weapon in New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A soldier
responding to the call of duty may
carry a concealed weapon in New
York State without exposing himself
to the action of the Sullivan law,
under a decision handed down by
Magistrate Nolan yesterday. A Ger
man appeared as complainant against
a French reservist. The Frenchman
was discharged and the German
reprimanded.
Francois Eugene Du Mont, of the
Bronx, and Morris Schlesinger, of
Harlem, were the principals in the
case. They engaged in a war argu-
ment, and Du Mont unwittingly ex-
posed small revolver unIoaded.
Schlesinger had him arrested, but
the magistrate decided that the Ger
mans motive had been personal in
stead of civic. He also ruled that a
soldier may carry a revolver.

lighter East on August %. 1t was
established by the police that the
bones were those of SEVERN Aanon-
son, q waterfront man, formerly
living at the Norwegian Seaman's In
stitute, Ill Pioneer street. Brooklyn.

teeth. Lieutenant Williams, of the
bureau for unidentified dead at police
headquarters, sent his men out with

dentist in the city until one was found
who could recognize his handiwork,
A dentists index, or reference card,
was finally found which bore an ex-
act description of the teeth the police
had.

Letter Delivery to Soldiers Free Results
in Flood of Mail.
PARIS, Aug. 31.-The delay in the
delivery of letters addressed to or
dispatched by French soldiers in the
field is partly due to the fact that
this correspondence is conveyed free.
A result is that many poor women
write daily to their sons or husbands
in the hope that out of eight or ten
letters one will be received. BY doing
this they are. in reality, merely COM
plicating matters,
