The crew were clad in great leathern

COURT MARTIAL
FOR CuARDSMEN
FAILS TO WORK

SAN ANTONIO, July 13.-Perhaps
no episode In the history OF the
United States army ever faded away
SO silently and died quicker natural
death than the court martial ordered
for the recalcitrant Texas militiamen
who refused to be mustered into the
federal service for duty on the border.
The court martial simply died a
bornin' and 1t has been impossible
to get lucid statement of what hap
pened or rather, did not happen, from
any official at Fort Sam Huston, head
quarters OF the southern division.
Refuse Federal Oath.
At first one hundred and sixteen
Texas state guards fatty refused to

centration camp unit tie government
or the state Of Texas or somebody
paid their railway fare back home.
1t was up to the Texas National
Guard. Since the state body had been
mustered into the regular army. the
Texas officials said it was up to the
regular army, meaning Major General
Frederick Funston. He passed 1t up
to the war department. Secretary of
War Baker passed it up to the war
department. The president ordered
courtmartial. Major H. c. Winship
OF the staff of the judge advocate gen.
eral came all the way from Wash
ington to handle the delicate situa-
ton. The government had a bear
by the tail"
Time For investigation.
"Oh, it will take some time to in
vestigate all the circumstances and
decide on the best plan Of action"
Major Winship said vaguely, when he
first reached Fort Sam Huston.
There has been no court martial.
The fact is that nearly all Of the men
who hung back have since come into
the service. One by one they have
drifted in and asked Major Winship
how they could 60 about getting to
the border with their companies.
Those who have expressed such de-
sire, have been sent on to their COM
mands. But the charges against them
have not been dropped.
That is the status of the court
martial now 1t is doubtful II the few
holding out will be tried, and the de-
partment has not yet found out how
to drop the charges against those who
have come in.
"Oh, the matter will settle itself, !
am sure Major Winship said today
still vaguely.

Writ SWAMPED
WITH REQUESTS
FOR HIS ADVICE

GARY, Ind, July 13.-William Writ,
the Hoosier school master, who found
ed the now-famous Gary school system
in this miracle steel city, has been
forced to employ large staff of secre-
taries to handle his constantly in
creasing duties.
He is now directing, in whole or
in part, no less than 10000 boys and
girls in the schools of the country.
And requests for advice and service
are increasing daily.
He directs $50 teachers of 1000
pupils here, very small part of his
work, but he refuses to leave Gary
for larger fields, preferring to watch
carefully over the system he has
nursed so carefully, evolving new
plans and improvements. His duties.
in connection with the New York
schools will be greatly enlarged next
fall. He will spend one week in each
month in New York and under his
control will be between 1000 and 5000
teachers and 10000 of the 100000
pupils in the city. In addition he is
directing superintendent in various
parts Of the country by mail in the

notes and statistics.

Infantile Paralysis

Cities and towns near New York. where in
fantile paralysis is gathering frightful toll
among young children, are alarmed at the influx
of New York mothers to these places Residents
of these cities believe New Workers are spread
ing the disease by removing their children from
the center of the outbreak.
Thirty-two children died yesterday and 1876
new cases were reported to the health authorities
of New York. The disease has manifested itself
lin number of cities in the Middle West. Physi-
clans are baffled by the malady and have been
unable either to check its ravages or trace its
origin. Sanitation and isolation are the two
weapons that are being used to confine its
spread. New York health authorities fear fur
Their spread because many Italian organizations
have special festivals this week. It is feared that
the jammng crowds will act as disease spreaders
Appeals have been sent out to the churches and
organizations to restrict gatherings as much as
possible
