had disciplined their young son

the youngster thought the teacher
was too severe in her punishment,
and the father and mother of the lad
undertook to punish her in like
manner.
Mrs. Hall called to the teacher as
the latter was passing their store,
and when the girl had gotten close
enough slapped her. The beating of
Miss Standard continued until Mrs.
Hall became tired. The girl was very
severely bruised and cut.
Hall stood over the young women in
the meantime with the shotgun, not
only intimidating the teacher with
the weapon, but threatening all who
might have shown an inclination to
interfere.

SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE
BY COURT is COMBATED
Department of Justice Holds It Is
Act for the Pardoning
Power Alone.

Contending that the suspension of SEN
tence on conviction of crime Is beyond
the mower of the court and the exercise
of a pardon power lodged only with the
executive branch of the government. the
Department of Justice today filed brief
in the United States Supreme Court
asking for a writ of mandamus directed
tn federal Judge John NJ. killits of the
district court of the northern district
of Ohio. at Toledo
The writ asked for would command the
court to issue commitment for the in
forcement of the sentence imposed upon
lanes E.. Henehan. Henehan pleaded
puiltv last March to charges under the
national banking act and was sentenced
to five years Imprisonment at Leaven-
worth. Kan.
At the time the court pronounced
sentence Judge Killits. upon applica-
tion oe counsel for Henehan, issued
an order suspending the execution OF
the sentence during the good behavior
of the defendant. The government
contends that such power to suspend
sentence, as contended for by the court.
was never inherent or a conferred
power Of any court.
The brief was prepared by assistant
Attorney General Wallace. The case
will be heard at the coming term of
the Supreme Court. which will con-
vene in mid October.

Acting under instructions from tHe

of Justice will meet James r j. Areh'-
ba1d the American correspondent IN
volyed in the case of DR.. Dumpa' the
Austrian ambassador, when he Janus
at New York on the steamer ROTTERDAM
from Holland. Archibald carried Df-
Dumba,s letter to the Vienna foreign
office. disclosing plans to cause s"iNs
in American munition plants
All officials here are MAINTAINING 'me
strjctest silence regarding Archloaid
case, but it became known To-Day INA.
United States Attorney Marshall at
New York has been instructed by the
Department of Justice. which takes 'he
view that there is ground for consid-
ering whether Archibald violated
federal law. The question OF ~ne,ner ne
actually knew the contents OF the pa
pers he carried probably Will be the
deciding factor in what action the gov
ernment ultimately takes toward MIN.
The statute on which the government
is proceeding fixes a fine of not more
than $4,000 and Imprisonment of not more
than three years for its violation
No New Move in Won Papen Case.
There was no indication today of any
further move by the government in tfe
case of Capt. Franz Won Papen. military
attache of the German embassy, for whom
Archibald also carried letter. and who
was mentioned in Dr. Dumba's report as
being connected with the strike plans.
At the German embassy it was said no
intimation has been received from the
State Department that Capt. Won Papen
was persona non grata. but that the en-
bassy, of course, would accede to any re-
quest the United States might make in
his case. All that was asked was safe
conduct for the captain back to Germany.
II the United States decided that Capt.
Won Papen's connection with the Dumba
case made his presence in this country
undesirable, it would only be necessary,
according to diplomatic procedure. to in
dicate that view to Ambassador Bern
storff, his chief. and communication be-
tween Washington and Berlin would be
unnecessary.
