main ward. Former cobblers among
the patients sent to the hospital are
now doing the work, and incidentally
are learning a branch of their trade
which win enable them to demand big
wages when they return to civil serv-
ice.
Captain Meisenbach and his assist
ants render another important service
TO the army In that they can quickly
spot the man who may be "stalllng"
in the hope of getting out Of the serv-
Ice. A few of the tests they have de-
vised will quickly make the faker
convict himself. At the same time
they discover many instances of real
debility in cases that have aroused the
suspicion of officers.
A New Jersey recruit, a heavy-set
man who had been a hotel keeper,
while drilling on the field with his
company, suddenly sat down on the
ground. His astonished officer shouted
an order, but the recruit did not arise.
He said he could not. Two fellow-re-
cruits lifted him to his feet, but he
collapsed when he tried to take an
other step. His company grfnned when
he was sent to the hospital in an am
bulance, for they regarded him as a
"quitter," but the surgeons found he
was suffering from a real, but rare,
ailment. For days he could get about
the ward only on all tours. Under an
elaborate treatment he is again learn
ing to walk, and while he may never
be fit for 1rst-line service he a do
camp duties that will release some
able-bodied man for a line regiment.
Several recruits were found strong
enough physically, but unfit for mill
tary duty because of web fingers. Or
thopedic surgeons operated to correct
this deformity, and these men have
gone back to their regiments with free
hands. In another case where extra
toes on each foot prevented a negro
recruit from wearing shoes and extra
fingers annoyed him In handling {
gun, the surgeons obligingly took of
the extra digits.

EDITOR OF ELk0 FREE PRESS
HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT

Yesterday morning in the District
court the editor of the Free Press
was cited for contempt of court and in
an affidavit filed by Carey Van Fleet.
il was intimated that the Free Press
man had seen a copy of the Paul Gas
ton report to the grand jury, and the
court was asked to start an ineytsiga-
ton as to whether the secrecy of the
grand jury had been violated.
The court asked Mr.. Steninger 10
appear i'm court on the afternoon of
May 4 TO answer In the alleged con-
tempt charge. Mr.. Van Fleet con-
tended in his argument that the publ
cation of the article containing the
complaint was preiudicial TO the case
of the two defendants in the malfeas-
ance cases, and he stated very frankly
that his reason for bringing the
charge was to stop the Free Press
from printing the ews about the two
cases coming up.
The matter of the alleged violation
OF the showing of the CASTOR report
to outside parties was taken under
Amusement, and the court instructed
the district attorneys Office to inves-
tigate and see If there were sufficient
evidence to bring a charge.
Owing to the fact that the writer Is
the one against whom the charge Of
contempt has been brought makes 1t
necessary for us to say nothing about
the charge.
The editor of the Free Press be-
lieves that a newspaper is in duty
bound to give its readers thx news,
and we have attempted to do so. We
are also a firm believer in the laws
of our land and recognize the courts
as the expression Of the laws, and
have the utmost respect for the
courts. Any complaint filed in the
District court becomes public after
filing, and a newspaper has the right
to publish 1t. A complaint contains
no evidence. but is merely the charges
filed against the defendant.-[Elko

VIVIAN MARTIN TOMORROW
NIGHT AT THE AMERICAN

AS Octavia Bassett, an American
heiress in England, Vivian Martin,
who plays the leading roll in "The
Fair Barbarian" to be shown in the
American Theatre Sunday, has added
a new and breezily humorous role TO
her long list of achievements in that
line. Stranded in a small English
town, her efforts to bring the inhabi-
tants up to date are extremely hui
morous. Indeed, she has about the
same effect as a small-sized cyclone
in the community. Her aunt, Belinda
Bassett, is the first to succumb to her
charms. Lady Theobald, the social
leader of the village, is at first furious
at Octavia's success and especially
when her pet nephew, Captain Barold,
falls violently in love with the Ameri-
can "upstart."
Octavia succeeds in setting the
whole town by the ears. Captain
Barold is not the only admirer who
has succumbed to her charms, the
curate himself. Rev. Poppleton, is also
greatly charmed by the vivacious
young American. He follows her like
Mary's %proverbial lamb. much to the
amusement of Octavia and the scan
d"alization of the natives. Just as the
small town is about to burst with
excitement, Octavia's father returns
with the news that his fortune has
been doubled. He brings with him
Jack Belasys, a typical American boy
of the Douglas Fairbanks type. What
is the amazement of the villagers to
learn that Oetavia has been engaged
to Jack all the time and has never
been in the least anxious to force her
self upon their society. A triumphant
marriage ceremony follows in Miss
Bassett's home with the young Pop
pleton, the curate, officiating. 1t is
through Octavia's good office that
another wedding cur later. that of
Lady Theobald's niece and her fance.
