brutal treatment administered to l.. G.
Stahl, who died in the asylum at Black
foot, while he was an inmate of the
asylum, by DIR. Walter F. Pike, medi-
cal superintendent in an official com
munication to Governor Alexander. Re-
ports from Caldwell were to the effect
that George Stahl, son of the de-
ceased. would demand an official in
vestigation.
In his letter to the governor Super
intendent Pike says that through tee-
phone message from Nampa, he knew
there had been some complaint made
by George Stahl that his father showed
on his body evidences of having been
bruised and beaten. Continuing, he
said:

years and bearing the physique of TO

ton and delivered to our attendant on
Friday, Dec. IA. He should not have
been sent and our attendant was in
formed that the Judge expostulated
with the son against his being sent
when he was so far gone, and that
the son insisted that as a taxpayer
he had right to send him and would
see that he went.
when our attendant reached Black
foot the old man had to be carried to
the buggy and when he reached the
asylum he had to be carried in. He
was put to bed from which he never
arose. He was weak all the time.
could not move himself, never got out
of bed, and had to be fed with spoon,
and six days later peacefully died.
HE had no bruises except that an
ear was skinned slightly before he had
ever left Caldwell and on one of his
shoulders he had marks of a former
bruise, also made before he started for
here. as it was peeled off before we
got him"
DR.. Pike criticZes the relatives of
the deceased for sending him to the
asylum in the condition in which he
was in and asserts that there would
be natural postmortem lividities and
hpyostases on emaciated bodies when
not embalmed for As hours, especially
when a patient dies of hardening of
the arteries in which there are ex-
pected to be hemorrhages under the
skin which may easily be considered
bruises.
In short" said DR.. Pike, there were
no bruises or marks of violence on his
body when he left here"

GOVERNOR HAD AUTHORITY,

.ooting of the treasury of $4,000 and
+ liberated. he cannot again be prose
2uted for the theft.
The brief and answer of the attorney
seneral to the allegations set forth in
the petition of counsel for Allen, re-
views at length these contentious and
Iays:
Our constitutional provision gives
the governor authority TO request a
judge of one district to hold court in
another district, and he is not required
lp1er that provision to give the rea-
son for his request
In the case at bar we contend
therefore, that the acts of Judge Bryan,
BASED upon the request of the governor,
would have been valid even though no
reasons had been given for such re-
quest.
If the foregoing contentious are cor
rect, application for a writ of habeas
corpus in this matter should be denied
Further consideration of the points
raised in the brief Of the petitioner,
would be unnecessary"
WAS DE FACTO JUDGE.
The attorney general states, how
ever. to have considered all the ques-
tons raised by Allen. Judge Bryan is
held to have been Judge de facto" if
not Judge de jure."
We submit" says the attorney gen
eral, that, even if the constitutional
provision be not self-executing, and
the statutory provision be mandatory,
still the acts of Judge Bryan are val
i'd, We place this contention on the
ground that Judge Bryan, if not
Judge de jure' was judge de facto' in
the performance of his acts in connec-
ton with the Allen case"
ALLEN WAIVED RIGHTS.
Among the citations given by the at
torney general is that of the case OF
Smith versus States decided squarely
upon the same grounds set up by AL
len The same court" says the at
torpey general "conclusively answers
all the contentious made by petitioner
for, writ of habeas corpus in this
case. 1t holds that such constitutional
provisions as ours is self-eXecutng. 1t
holds that. such statutory provision as
that relied upon by petitioner is di-
rectory. 1t holds that acts like those
performed by Judge Bryan in the pro-
ceeding in which,O. V. Allen was SEN
teIceu 10 tHe peiileHtidiS eiS Ndiiu
AMI it holds that such acts as those of
O. V. Allen in submitting himself to
the Jurisdiction of the court, in plead
ing guilty, and in failing to raise any
objections to the acts of Judge Bryan
during the hearings and for more than
three years uhat being the period of
the statute of limitations, thereafter,
constitute perfect waiver of his
right to raise such objection.

THIS country now has more than

struction or contract. Chairman Hur-
ley of the shipping board today took

WELCOMES THE INQUIRY.
Welcoming the investigation, Hur-
ley's formal statement to the commit
tee pleaded for time.
He did not refer to past rows in the
shipping board and emergency fleet
corporation, although the probers ex-
pected to question him about them.
When Hurley took the helm on July
n, 1917, following the Denman- Goeth-
ais row there were under contract
$4,000 tons of wooden ships, 2O7, 900
tons composite ships and $4,000 tons
of steel ships.
Since then additional contracts
amounting to 3,37s,200 tons steel ship
ping and 100000 tons wooden, have
been placed.
Explaining the difficulty of sudden
ship building expansion Hurley said:
The big problem we have before us
is to secure an adequate supply of ex-
perienced labor and competent ship
yard organization to direct it,"
He also pointed out that navy de-
partments program had absorbed 40
per cent of the Is leading yards at the
beginning of the war and the remand
er was taken up with construction of
merchantmen for both foreign and
American account which was requisi-
toned Aug. 30.
