THREE PERSONS FREE
OF INSANITY CHARGES
Two Are Released in Habeas Corpus
Proceedings and One
After a Trial.

Three persons charged with insanity
were released from custody late yes
terday afternoon by Justice Hitz of the
District Supreme Court. Two cases
were in habeas corpus proceedings and
the third was after trial by jury
which determined Miss Alice Foster to
be sane.
Henry Moranz of Cleveland, Ohio,
was released from the Government
Hospital for the Insane when it was
shown that his term of enlistment in
the Navy had expired and his further
detention was without warrant of law.
Moranz had been committed by order
of the Navy Department and not by
legal proceeding.
Frank Langelotti. a scientist of the
United States Naval Observatory and
student of philosophy at George Wash
ington University. was in the observa-
ton ward of the Washington Asylum
and Jail, on a. pencil memorandum of
a police officer. according to the testi-
mony presented to Justice Hitz by his
attorneys. c. V. INLAY and George w.
Offutt, jr Two charges of alleged
threats are pending for trial in the po-
lice court against Langelotti made by
fellow employees of the observatory. 1t
was shown that while he was in Gus
tody under a warrant for alleged
threats. he was transferred to the OBJ
servation ward without the usual
formalities.
Attorney Procures Discharge.
Attorney John Ridout as friend of
the court suggested to Justice Hitz
that on the face of the commitment
papers Langelotti should be Immediate
Ily discharged. The lawyer took occa-
sion to express his views of the
methods of those in charge of the in
stitution and declared that for once
and all such alleged practice of hold
ing a person as insane on a mere order
OF a policeman should be abolished with
the censure of the court. Justice Hitz
asked the lawyer II he would under
take to have Langelotti in the Police
Court to answer the charges Of threat.
reply discharged Lapgelotti from
custody.
Miss Alice Foster has been detained
at St Elizabeth since last April on
a charge of insanity. A trial was ac-
corded her under the law in May, but
a jury at that time was unable to
agree as to her mental condition. She
was then returned for further treat
ment until new hearing could be
held Before such hearing had been
arranged her mother, Mrs. Caroline
Riddle Foster, began proceedings in
habeas corpus for her release. Pend
ordered a new trial by jury, which was
concluded late yesterday afternoon
with a verdict that Miss Foster is of
sound mind. Attorney II. Ralph Burton
represented her. Experts were heard on
each SIDE some declaring her deranged
mentally and others as stoutly maintain
ing her sanity.

Places Never to Be Forgotten.

Bah. Messguene and Zor are three
places never to be forgotten by US Ar
nenians l have visited them Do You
know what happened there a few months
since? BY the order of the governor AMI
nearly one hundred thousand of my broth
ers were murdered-massacred by armed
Circassians.
AT Bosanti I saw six railway trucks of
little Armenian children being dispatched
to an unknown destination What had
these little innocents done to offend? Was
it the mere fact OF being alive and being
sons and daughters of our thrice unhappy
race?
The German soldiers that one sees
around the stations in Armenia are gen.
orally of low type and not far behind
the Turks in their disregard for the rights
of our people.
Their cruelty is a little different from
that of the Turk. but the difference is only
one of kind The Turk. for example.
often respects certain things which we
have. learned to associate with our re-
ligious or racial beliefs, the German has
no respect for anything-nothing is too
sacred for his profane hands.

Story of the Interpreter.

The interpreters story follows:
What you shave read and heard
about Armenia is not a hundredth part
of the truth. Dante's Inferno was a
heaven compared with the hell that the
Turks have made of my country
Something of the awful reality of the
past twelve months l have myself
seen in passing through on the way TO
the front.
AT Aleppo there are four factories
in which. under the supervision OF De
ported Armenians, two thousand Ar
fnenian womeneare being employed I'M
der terrible conditions. The women are
all deportees. One of them said to
me: on a halt during our deportations
I saw a gendarme bury a sick woman
alive Cold-bIooded murder was an
everyday occurrence. Our guards had
orders to kill on the spot any one who
Jagged behind on the journey. Often
several were killed at once and there
was no separate grave for them-the
bodies were just thrown into ditch
together and covered. 1t was all nor
ribie to behold. but our eyes eventually
became hardened to the sight

CRUEL HORRORS DEPICTED

BOMBAY. July . tby maiD--The
following statement given to the AS
ISOLATED Press by British officer now
in a hospital here presents a vivid
picture of the sufferings undergone
by the Armenians, of which compar-
atsyely little first-hand information
has hitherto been forthcoming:
Before i got my wound in the
fighting up beyond Bagdad 1 came into
contact on several occasions with a
highly educated Armenian who had es-
capped from the Turks and was being
employed by us as an interpreter The
stories he told OF the inhumanities M
fiicted upon his compatriots We're SO
appalling that I made notes OF his con-
versations and have attempted here 70
reproduce them in something like his
own language. so that You can get at
the heart of the man and realize what
he and all educated Armenians 1eei.
The interpreter was in Constantinopie
until the end of last year, when he was
sent to the front with party OF

ZAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two proclamations. One was n pro-
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers of
the city to assemble for n conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confisca-
ton Of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies of General Car
rama had collected forced loan" of
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader?
the point. "Caballeros," he said, "my
men are hungry. 1 want $4,000 pesos
TO feed them for q few days. You will
pay this. l promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid the enemy You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
full to escape with such a modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months the city was
better policed than it has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of confiscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapato
paid back the $4,000 pesos.

Captivating Morning Coats.

Whoever thought up the morning
coat, or breakfast coat, added a new
Joy to life. 1t has taken its bright
place I'm our midst and is welcome to
stay, and destined to do just that, for
the rest of time. 1t will take a great
inspiration to create something equally
captivating to replace 1t.
The morning coat is a gay and pretty
garment, made of light-colored taffeta,
on the lines of a regulation coat. 1t
is dignified enough to appear at the
breakfast table and frivolous enough
TO be charming. 1t is long, reaching
almost to the bottom of the lacy petit
coat that is its companion for life.
1t has coat collar and a belt and fast
ems at the front like any other coat.
In the matter of sleeves it is hayward
refusing to go further than elbow or
three-quarter length.
In the coat shown in the picture
there are pockets at each side edged
with shirred bands of taffeta. This
finish is used on the sleeves and down
the front Of the coat and the buttons

are covered with taffeta. They fasten
through cords, made by covering cable
cord with the silk instead of shirred
bands, full box-plaitings made of mar
row strips of silk, frayed out into
fringed edges. make lovely finish.
Almost anyone could make coat Of
this kind IL it were worth while to
spend the time, but they are so mex
pensive ready made that there is moth
ing to be gained by doing the work
at home.
OF course nothing could look bet
ter with breakfast coat than the lit
tie lace cap that has remote resem-
blance to sunbonnet with its cape of
lace behind and frill over the face.
The ribbon that extends across the top
of it ties at the nape Of the neck In
the back and is Of the same color as
the coat. The tiniest chiffon flowers
are set in little clusters on 1t. Pink,
maize, blue, lavender and light green
are all used for these coats with the
preference at present for pink and
maize.

All millinery minds appear to travel
to an inevitable goal, no matter by
what road they go. When they nego-
tiate with fashion concerning the mat
ter of mid-winter hats, fur and velvet,
fur and metal brocades, fur with metal
embroideries, fur with metal cloth, ap-
pear to be the end of their imagina-
lions. One might think 1t contrary to
the constitution, in the realm of style,
to leave out fur; for 1t Is everywhere.
But, II the designers haven't fur then
they use fabrics that suggest 1t, and
feathers.
Very small neckpieces made to
match, account partly for the partial
ity shown to fur. Just touch Of
fur on the hat, and high collar, like
small muffler of the same fur, to be
worn with the hat, leaves no doubt
I'm the mind as to the smartest thing in
winter millinery. The neckpiece may
be a scarf or cape, and both 1t and the
hat that goes with It may be of cloth
and fur. Designers have made many
variations on this, theme and all of
them successful.

shown in the group above. Something

Germany's Path In Belgium.

The Germans entered Belgium In
August and September, 1914; we be-

Among these results, as seen by us,
Were hasten to say, no women with
out breasts or children without hands.
But there were women without hus-
bands and sons and daughters and
children without mothers and fathers.
There were families without homes,
farms without cattle or horses or
houses; towns without town halls and
churches and most of the other build
ings, and even some without any build
ings at all, and few without many
citizens. But there were cemeteries
with scores and hundreds of new
graves-not of soldiers and little tod
ding children who came up eagerly
to you, saying, mon pere est mort +;
ma mere est mort" They We're dis
tinguished from some Of their play
mates by this, you see!
And we had to hear-and endure
the stories, the myriad stories, of the
relicts of Dinant, Wise, Tamines, An
dennes and all the rest. OF course,
there were stories exaggerated will
fully and others exaggerated uninten-
tionally, simply by the inevitable in
acurracies that come from excitement
and mental stress. But there were
stories that were true, all true.
