two put the lives of the occupants
CT the car in danger.
When the owl landed on the chauf-
feur's shoulder that individual, who
had his eyes on the road ahead and
who was not thinking of owls, was
20 startled that he fell over sideways,
:nomentarily losing his grip on the

however, although he did not know
what was happening to him, regained
control Of the car, brought, it to d
stop, and, without making any ex-
plantations whatever, jumped out and
cyan acting in what Gen. Wheel
cr and Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins thought
d most extraordinary manner.
They did not know what had hap

jumping up and down and franti-
cally waving his arms and grabbing
at something about his head they
thought he had suddenly gone crazy
Or was indulging in fit. They fol-

of amazement and it was several
moments before they saw the owl

JOHNSON GETss YEARS CHARGE IS DISMISSED
Order of Health Committee Not Re-
garded as Binding on Now
ing Picture Men

The charges against the moving
picture theatre operators that they
had violated the orders of therhealth
board in opening their theatres were
dismissed yesterday afternoon at
special session of the police court.
Justice Thompson presided and this
action was based on the announce
ment by Commonwealth Attorney,
Brent that the orders of the health
committee had not been properly is
sued and therefore were not binding
upon the moving picture operators.
Only few minutes was required
to try the case, the only witness
being Taylor Burke, member OF
the health committee, who told the
court that no formal or written or
ders had been given, but that the de-
cision to close the schools and theat-
res had been reached after an infor-
NAL hearing.
AS soon as Mr.. Burke had given
his testimony Mr.. Brent stated to
the court that there was nothing else
for him to do but to ask that the
warrant be withdrawn, and Justice
Thompson announced that this would
be done.
There was large crowd OF spec
tators in the court room and they
were disappointed that the case was
not heard on it's merits instead of
having been dismissed on a technl-
cality. All of the members OF the
health board were present and they
seemed angry that their decision was
so easily set at naught. They held
two informal meetings on the street
corners after the court was over, sur
rounded by crowd Of interested
spectators and finally adjourned to
the health office where they held
meeting and decided to meet again
this morning. The committee met
again this morning but decided to
withhold further action until tonight.
They have summonded all the ply
sicians in the city to be present to-
night at s:15 O'Clock when they will
decide the further action is to be
taken.

JUDGE DENOUNCES METHODS
Major Pullman's Order to Enter
Private Houses in Any Way
Not Sustained.

Detective Mason l.. Howes, of the
Washington police vice squad, on
trial for unlawful entry of a private
dwelling, was acquitted yesterday,
by Judge Mullowny, of the Police
Court. &
The opinion of acquittal by Judge
Mullowny clearly defined the bounds
Of police operations in respect Of
their entry of private homes. This
definition was in direct opposition to
the methods alleged to have been
sanctioned by Maj. Pullman, super
inteEdent of police.
ut is the duty of the police to
swear out warrant before they en-.
ter "a home to make arrests for vice.
he said.
Three policemen testified during
Howes' trial that Maj. Pullman told
them "to enter any way you can"
"An officer is not to play the part
of 'peeping Tom. He is not to use
keys and ladders to force an en-
try" Judge Mullowny declared.

to know what disposition to make OF
Christmas presents for the soldiers.
Mr.. Baker said frankly he did not
know when further militia units will be
returned. There is too much uncer-
tainty in the situation. Carranza has
not yet signed the protocol which car
ries provisions for withdrawing PERISH
ing's army from Mexico. The Villa re-
volutionary activity in Chihuahua is
another factor threatening further bor-
der problems.
No general militia withdrawal will be
undertaken until Pershings troops are
brought out of Mexico. General Fun

guard units can be spared from the
border in advance Of this general with
drawal. and there is a possibility that
some of the Iowa regiments might be
