When the federal court convened

of the testimony. counsel for the de-
tense moved that an affirmative yer
dict be directed by the court. This
was promptly overruIed by Judge
Sheppard and the trial continued.

a short while the jury returned YER

dismissed them from further attend

evidently did not believe in circum-
stantial evidence, upon which the gov
eminent relies chiefly in the prosecu-
ton of such cases The marshal was
ordered to hold the large supply of
beer and whiskey collected in the
arrest of Mrs. Johnson.

CHANGES MADE IN NEW
PRESS REGULATIONS

Washington, July 30.-A new list
of press regulations making material
changes in the voluntary censorship
rules were promulgated tonight by
the committee on public informatfc1
and these new regulations contain the
first general request that there be
no published mention of the arrival
of American troops at European
ports, thus replacing an express au-
thorization under the old rules of the
use of dispatches as passed by Eu-
ropeari censors. Other sections of the
old regulations are made more severe
by specific stipulations in place of the
general language hitherto employed

THOUSANDS OF COOKS
WANTED BY WAR DEPT

believed their services will not be
required longer than from one month
to six weeks. In addition to their
work of getting the army kitchens
in running order, they will be util-
lied as instructors for the cooks who
are permanently to serve in the ma
tional army environments. While re
ceiving government pay they still
will be supervised by trained instruc-
tors from the regular army.
The presidents of the So hotel as
sociations in the United States have
been asked to act as a committee IN
working out this scheme. Each hotel
proprietor who recommends expert
enced, reliable cooks win be held re-
sponsible for the efficiency of these
men. They will be transported at
government expense, and receive pa:
equal to the salaries paid them by
the hotels which regularly employed
them.
There are at present four govern
ment schools Tor the training OF
cooks and bakers. But in preparing
to feed the new national army a much
more extensive training must be de-
vised. With this in view, the war de-
partment has worked out a plan
whereby the captain of each company
shall choose three cooks who will be
trained in school methods, while the
national army is undergoing its
course. This will give about CTS en-
listed cooks to each cantonment. Over
these men the civilian hotel cooks
will have supervision until the work
is we'll organized. 1t is intended to
have the army schools for cooks CON

CHAPTER ".
The First Gard,

As Hardy was unpncking his scant
wardrobe, an Indian boy came to the
door. thrust In his head and announced
gutturally:
"M'rce him say you come six"
Hardy nodded To the boy and signed
him to go. Ten minutes later he
stepped up on the porch Of the Dupont
house. Before he could knock. Du-
pont stepped from the rear door Of his
trade store, which faced away from the
porch.
Hello. Cap" he greeted the guest
with blum cordlallty. "Glad to see you.
Walk right In"
Hardy crossed the threshold and
paused. The floor WA covered 10 re-
semble waxed hardwood. The oriental
rugs were real. The walls were pa
pered with n quiet tapestry pattern.
The adobe fireplace was set with a
modern CRATE and faced with n tile
mantel. The few pictures were well
chosen. There was no sign of the
guns, skins and Navajo blankets that
Hardy had expected TO see.

opened again in II wide, %guileless stare.
