Habeas Corpus Writ
Denied Witnesses
In Newberry Case
Contrary Decision Given
by Judge Clayton at
Primary Hearing
Littleton to Appeal
Court Springs Innovation by
Taking Oral Bond of
the Defendants

Judge Henry d. Clayton of the
Federal Court yesterday dismissed the
habeas corpus writs obtained by Frank
w. Blair, Allan A. Templcton and
Thomas p. Phillips, Of Detroit, the
contumacious witnesses in the inquiry
into the primary campaign of Tru
man II. Newberry, Republican candi-
date for United States Senator in
Michigan. Then he recommended them
to the custody of the United States
Marshal and paroled them in the care
of their counsel, Martin w. Littleton.
Thcreupon he took their oral bond in
$4,000 each~-an innovation that will
disturb bonding companies if the Gus
tom spreads.
"Iold up your right hands," said
Judge Clayton, after rendering his
decision recommitting the witnesses,
and they held them up.
81 want you to promise that you will
consider yourselves individually in
dcbted to the United States govern
ment in the sum of $4,000 if you fail
to present yourselves in this court
when wanted.'
l ne OelTOlteTS ) SHlllcO as tney
solemnly promised to pay. Judge
Clayton comes from Alabama, and it
is said that the judges down there
exact an oral bond when they see fit.
Judge Clayton allowed Mr.. Littleton
twenty days in which to prepare his
papers for an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, with the under
standing that if he can get them
ready in ten days he will do so.
In his written opinion yesterday
Judge Clayton ruled that Judge Cush-
mans commitment was a valid order,
and that the court was dealing with
recalcitrancy on the part of the wit
nesses, and that it was not necessary
for him to pass upon iurisdictional and
constitutional questions raised by Mr..
Littleton in behalf of his clients.
Mr.. Lttleton said at the conclusion
of the hearing that his appeal would
take the case direct to athe United
States Supreme Court. The twenty days
allowed to prepare his case on appeal
will bring it up again on the very day
that the voters of Michigan decide
whether Commander Newberry or
Henry Ford dSshall be their next United
States Senator.

On the Screen
Lafayette, We. Come,
Latest of, War Pictures
at the Strand

The first showing of the new war
picture, "Lafayette, We Come was
held at the Strand Theatre yesterday
morning.
The story was written and the pro-
duction directed by Leonie Perret.
The picture is beautifully done and
1T holds a strong patriotic appeal
even though it boasts no originality in
plot. There is the usual beautiful
maiden who is suspected of being q
German spy. and who turns out to
have been working for the Allies all
the time.
The variation of the theme comes
when it is discovered that the yelled
woman who first appeared really was
a German spy and that the heroine
did not take her place until later in
the picture after all of the atrocities
were committed. Thus is Theresa ex-
onerated and left free to marry the
khaki-clad hero.
There are many interesting scenes
OF our troops in France and their re-
ception into the homes of peasants or
patricians.
One scene shows two children max
ing ready to receive an American sol
dler who is coming to visit their par
ents. On his desk they have placed
picture Of President Wilson, an
Anne rican flag and New York Tribune
held down by bronze statue of
Liberty.
E. X. Lincoln is the hero. He did
some remarkably good work. The
scene where he regans his eyesight
and gradually, through mist, sees the
Stars and Stripes appear before him is
one of the best bits of acting we have
seen in some time.
There is nothing remarkable in Do
lores Casswelle's portrayal of the
French girl who is suspected of being
spy. though she is at all times ex-
tremely good to look at
Ethel Winthrope is simple and CON
vincing in the role of the mother, who
typiiies all American motherhood.

To Have Abdicated
In Favor of Boris
Former Bulgar Premier
Said To Be Forming Pro-

BY Arthur S. Draper
tSpccta, Cable TO The T,-ibunc)
CrIryricht 1918 NcT York Tyihuno Yno

Copyright. 1918. New York Tribune Inc}
LONDON. Oct. 3.-Zurch dispatches
state that King Ferdinand of Bulgaria
has abdicated in favor of Prince Boris.
Copenhagen reports from German
sources say that former Premier Rado-
slavoff and former Minister Of Public
Instruction Pescheff are forming a
provisional government.
King Ferdinand and his royal house
hold apparently have fled to Vienna.
German and Austrian newspapers de-
clare that German and Austrian troops
are either on their way or actually
are in Bulgaria in considerable num-
bers, but apparently this is circulated
merely to counteract the depression
caused by the Bulgarian surrender.
Similarly, Berlin has circulated opti-
mistic news about Turkey. but there is
no reason to alter earlier forecasts Of
Turkish surrender. The capture OF
Damascus by General Alenby is ex-
rected to hasten the appeal for an
arrnstice.
The Kaiser has not yet decided
whether to have moderate or purley
military government. although he has
given the Junkers considerable en-
ccuragemcnt.
The Czechs are creating much dis
turbance in Austria, while the Hun
garian newspapers arc openly demand7
ing the severance of relations with
Germany
Meanwhile, signs pointing to the
evacuation of large part Of Belgium
increase. Political and military de-
velopments in Germany are going hand
in hand. With the big western re-
treat in prospect. it is likely that the
Kaiser will depend upon the rilitarists
to handle the French and the "homc"
fronts.
