BISHOP ESTATE

Initiative; Judge Ashford
Calls for Accounts

Circuit Judge Ashford has signed a
decree allowing A. w. Carter to re-
sign as q member Of the board OF
trusees Of the Bishop Estate. Mr..
Carriers petition that he be allowed
to resign was filed several weeks

occasions, but that the other trus.
tees had taken no action on his re-
quest
In signing the decree, Judge Ash,

trustee viii be filed in the supreme
court. When s. nj. Damon resigned
Judge Ashford declined to confirm
the appointment Of William William
son and named Charles e. King. The
supreme court reversed the ruling and
Mr.. King has taken the case to the

FIRE SIX
FROM U.S..
SERVICE
Soldiers Who Figured in En-
bryonic Uprising as Resent
ment for Imprisonment Are
Handed Out Stiff Penalty BY
Court Martial

- ETAILS of a mutinous uprising
by six soldiers of Battery F,
- 1st Field Artillery, Schofield Bar
racks, which occurred on July 6, be-
came known today through court mar
tial orders made public from army
headquarters.
Ten years Imprisonment each and
dishonorable discharge was the SEN
tence imposed by the court on the six
offenders, but the time portion Of the
punishment was reduced by Brig. Gen.
Charles G. Treat to one year each.
The six offenders were Samuel Ro-
sinoff, Dan B. Hogan, Joseph Silva,
Michael A. Zilemper, P. J. Eustace and
Edward Peno, an privates. Violation Of
the 64th, 66th and the 96th articles
of war were the charges on which
they we're tried.
Under the mutiny charge the speci-
fication states that the men while
prisoners in the post guard house,
acting jointly and in pursuance of a
common intent. did, in time Of war,
on or about the 9Th, day Of July, 1917,
voluntarily, knowingly and wilfully
begin and join in a mutiny in the post
of Schofield Barracks, H. T., against
properly constituted military authority
by engaging with each other to re-
fuse, and by refusing, wilfully to obey
the lawful command of LIST Lieut..
Vincent P. Erwin, Field Artillery,
their superior officer to each to get
your mess kit from the porch of the
barracks and clean it, and the lawful
command of LIST Lieut.. Karl c. Green
valid, Field Artillery, prison officer,
their superior officer, to work as or
dered, and the lawful orders of 1st
Sgt. Haddock L. Clifton, Battery F,
1st Field Artillery, who was then in
the execution of his office, to clean
up your mess kits and to police up
the porch.
The specification goes on to state
that the six mutineers threw their
food upon the porch and walls of the
mess hall of Battery F., thereby
wasting it wiifully, malicously and in
open defiance of existing orders
How far their mutinous intent car
ried the trouble makers is shown in
the fact that they threatened to muir
der two other privates, Leavitt and
Cohen, If they made known the plans
Of mutiny.
The entire court martial order is
filled with the story of the action of
the mutineers which shows that they
we're evidently intent on causing
trouble. 1t is said that they had been
discharged from the mess hall and
made to eat from mess kits because
they refused to behave themselves in
the building.
The disciplinary barracks at Alcat-
raZ, Cal, have been designated as
the place Of confinement for the of.
tenders. q
