PRIVATE WESLEY FREED
THROUGH TECHN|CAUTY
D. C. National Guardsman Relieved
of Penalty for Accidentally
Killing Comrade.

Through technicality, Private Har-
old B. Wesley. Company F. Sd Infantry

is relieved of the penalty imposed or
him by the general court martial by
which he was tried for the accidental
fatal shooting Of Private James J.
Spaulding. Company D, Of the same reg
iment. at the mobilization camp, Fort
Myer. Va. August Is last. The accused
was charged with conduct to the preju-
dice Of good order and military disci-
pline. It was specified that he ''un-
lawfully. willfully and felom ously''
killed Private spaulding 'by shooting
him with a service rife" He entered a
plea of not guilty to the charge and
specification.
of the charge and guilty also of the
specification with the exception of the
words ''unlawfully, willfully and felon-
iously" and substituted therefor the
word accidentally" and added to the
specification the words while handling
said rife without due caution and cir
cumspection." The court found him
guilty of the substituted and addition
al words and sentenced him to be con-
fined for two months at hard labor.
Gen. Wood Disapproves.
Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, command
ing the department of the east, to
whom the record of the court was sent
for action. disapproved the sentence
of the court and thereby relieved the
soldier of punishment
THE findings of the court" said Gen.
Wood In his review. while in fact sus-
tanned by the evidence, appear to be
based on the theory that the offense Of
which the court has found the accused
guilty is included in the offense with
which he was charged. OF the matter
of conviction of lesser included Of
fense Winthrop says:
1T is properly restored to where the
offense charged is one which includes.
as a necessary constituent, another Of
fense of lesser gravity, and where the
evidence-the accused having pleaded
not guilty-falls short of fixing upon
the accused the superior. but shows him
to have committed the inferior. offense.
In such cases the court may find him
not guilty of the offense charged, but
guilty of the minor constituent
Findings Not Authorized.
while the accidental killing through
carelessness. as substantially found in
tuls CdSSs may DC CiosclJ Tcidlco u luc
unlawful, willful and felonious killing
charged, such accidental killing is not
a necessary constituent Of the offense
charged, and therefore included there
in. but must be considered instead a
separate and distinct offense. Conse-
quently the findings of the court in this
case are not authorized in law.
The evidence of record in this case
clearly indicates that the killing of
Private Spaulding by Private Wesley
was the result of the grossly negligent
and Indifferent manner of performance
Of guard duty tolerated by the local
responsible officials of the National
Guard of the District Of Columbia at
the mobilization camp at the time of
such killing. The sentence Is disap-
proved"

MERCHANTS GET DATA
ON SALE Of GASOLINE
Ordinances In Other Cities Being
Collected for Guidance of
Campaign Here.

Ordinances governing the sale of
gasoline in other cities, with particular
reference to the tests which the COM
mercial article must pass. are being
collected today by Charles j. Colum-
Association. as a step in the campaign
which has been begun by the organf-
zation for obtaining a better CONNER
cial gasoline for Washington. Mr.. Co
lumbus and r. P. Andrews, president
of the association, are to confer with
Secretary Redfeld of the Department
of Commerce early next week, pur-
suant to a request made by him at a
conference they had with him few
days ago.
The bureau Of standards has taken
up the subject, and so has the bureau
Of mines. The bureau of mines has
had the matter under consideration for
several months, and expects to issue
a report on the subject within a month.
What Mr.. Manning Says.
Van H. Manning, director of the bu-
reau of mines, said last night:
"These specifications, while intended
for the use of the federal government,
will be available to the public. They
will constitute a guide for the public
which 1t has not had before. OF course,
1t will be impossible for the average
motor car owner to test his gasoline to
see whether or not 1t Is up to the Speci-
ficatfons. but you will find. think,
that when the federal specifications be-
come well known the gasoline dealers
will be purchasing their oil according
to specifications, and that they will be
willing to assure the consumer that he
is obtaining gasoline that fills the
proper requirements"

THE NEWEST RErlEDY
FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the pOisOns are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, ,.heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and .rheu-
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, it causes lumbago, rheumatism,
govt or sciatica. This is the time to try
"Anuric."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backacheo begins,
This is q good time to take "Anuric,"

ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company examin-
applicant before a policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside a bottle of water
for twenty.four hours? A heavy sedi-,
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter OF diseases, especially those of the
kildneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by a careful chemical an
alysis and microscopical examination
this is done by expert chemists of the
Medical Staff Of the Invalids' Hotel. If
you wish to know your condition send a
sample OF your water TO Doctor Pierce's
lnyalids' Hotel, Buffalo,, N. Y, and de-
scribe your symptoms. It will be ex-
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff of Assisting
Physicians will inform you truthfully.

BASKET BALL.

Is the sport of basket ball losing
it's popularity?
Bemidji has always been known as
strong basket ball city. Last year,
besides having a high school. quint
which gained fame, the city had an
independent team which was consid-
eredF one of the strongest in the
northwest. Games were. played with
the fastest teams in the country
This season, however, all attempts
to form an independent team have
failed. 49,
This year the high school quint,
which is fighting for the state high
school championship, fails to draw
the crowds that it should.
There, is a notable falling off in
interest in the game.
Let's revive the old interest and
get behind the high school team and
help them win the state title. Is Next
Saturday night at the armory they
will meet the fast quint Of the St..
Cloud high school. Every good. cit
izen should attend the game.
Let's go.

countrymen Tuesday night when in
a mastery address he indicted the
Democratic administration. saying:
1--WE have not been following the
path Of peace. We have been blind
ly stumbling along the road, that,
continued, WILL lead to inevitable
war Our diplomacy has dealt with
symptoms, and ignored causes. The
great decisive question upon which
our peace depends is the question
whether the rule of action applied
to Belgium is to be tolerated. If
it is to be tolerated by the civilized
world, this nation will have to fight
for it's life. There will be no es-
cape. This is the critical point of
defense for the peace of America"

X MANY PRAISE, OFFER X
x OF NEW DICTIONARY x

Distributing a new dictionary has
brought the Pioneer many compli-
mentary remarks. One subscriber
who presented coupons yesterday for
half dozen dictionaries for different
employees and members of his family
said he deemed it necessary that a
dictionary should progress with the
language just as newspaper does.
The world moves rapidly these days,
and only the New Universities is
apace with today's growth of the
language.
The departments handling this
great educational offer are being kept
busy handing out the books. More
reserves had to be rushed last night
to fill up the rapidly depleted stock.
At this rate the first and limited edi-
ton will soon be exhausted.
While readers are eager for the
book on account of it's being authori-
tative and complete, it's absolute new
ness appeals to thousands. 1t has
been many long year since an &C
tually new dictionary was given to
the public The New Universities
Dictionary is new in all the word i'm
plies-new in contents, new in type,
new in arrangements of helps to word
study Particularly is it new in MAX
ing the study of today's English easy
for young people who are so situated
that they cannot attend schools and
obtain individual instruction. I'm
aided, a young man or woman en-
ployed may learn the correct use Of
the English of modern business and
society if they but follow the direc-
tions of the great university teach
ers whose articles on "Standard Eng
lish," "Practical Syntax" (Which
means: How to make good sentences)
Punctuation" and "Etymol0gy" ap-
pear, plainly written in simple Eng
lish, in this book.
Even the word Technology" which
looks harsh and forbidding to a be-
ginner, is made simple if one reads
the article by Clark S. Northrup, Phi.
D., instructor in English in Cornell
university. Professor Northrup's ar
ticle tells how to learn where our
words were found, why we adopted
them, and how we changed them TO
mean what we wanted to say. That's
what Etymology is and this paper
distributes this dictionary because
it wants every reader to know all
about the language.
