A FORMER HAAK0N COUNTY BOY
AMONG SURVIVORS OF TUSCANIA.

Many Philip people remember
Alva Bowman, whose parents
proved up a homestead just west
of Grindstone Buttes; so they
will read with more than passing
interest the list first reported of
the survivors, of the ill fated Tus-
cania who were landed at Fort
Ellen, Islay, Scotland, because it
contained the name of Alva Bow
man.
Alva Bowman was a member
of the junior class of Sioux Falls
college. Being subject to draft
at an early date with his brother
Fay Bowman, they enlisted early
in December and were sent to
Aberdeen for final examination
and later to Jefferson Barracks,
Mo. He joined the forestry regi-
ment for work in France and was
sent to the American university
at Washington for a few weeks
study. He was a member of the
company E. regiment, battalion
6; which was raised with the ac-
tive cooperation of the American
Forestry association to cut tim
Der in France to be used for mill.

important RULING
MADE ABOUT Threats
Indictment Must Allege
Words Uttered in Pres
ence of Somebody
JUDGE BRADFORD ACTS
IN CASE OF STOBO

Federal Judge Edward G. Bradford, in
the United states District Court on Sat
urday afternoon sustained a demurrer
fled in the case Of John Stobo, OF SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, an Official OF the General
Chemical plant, at Claymont, who was
indicted by a Federal grand jury in this
city recently on three counts on a
charge Of making threats against Presi-
dent Wilson. St0bo was represented by
Herbert II. Ward, whose contention that
the indictment was inadequate was sus
tanned.
After considering various points
raised In the attack on tho indictment,
Judge Bradford said
In view Of the fact that the indict-
ment does not in any Of its counts aver
that the oral threat was made in the
hearing Of any other person or persons
1t falls TO state an essential element OF
the offense denounced by the act so far
as it applies to oral threats. This omls-
sion cannot be supplied by the court
without usurpation OF the functions of
the grand jury. The demurrer must,
therefore, be sustained"
This ruling is regarded as of great
Importance in cases growing out of
threats alleged to have beer made
against the President.
In leading up to that conclusion
Judge Bradford said in part:
IN an oral threat contemplated by
the statute there are two essential eIe-
nlents; first. the utterance Of the words
and, secondly, the. hearing Of the words
Evening journal., 1918-05-20

by some person or persons other than
the utterer. The use OF the threatening
words in an unheard solloquy, what
ever may be the intent or purpose with
which they are uttered, is not an Of
Tense punishable under the act. It's
manifest purpose was to punish the use
Of one Of threatening words calculated
10 inname or have a sinister influence
upon the minds Of others, and in the
case Of an oral threat the offense is not
complete unless the words are uttered
in the hearing of some other person or
persons
"The latter Of the two elements es-
sential to the oifense, namely, the hear
ing Of the oral threat as and when ut
tered. is not contained in the indictment
either expressly or by necessary impl-
cation. An averment that an oral threat
was made does not necessarily imply
that It was made in the hearing Of any
person other than the utterer. If an in
dictment should be found solely upon
the strength Of an admission by the de-
fendant, testified to by witnesses, that
he had made such threat, but not in the
hearing OF any other persons, and not
upon any evidence that the threat as
and when made was heard by any other
person, there could me no conviction.
And such supposed case is not consist
ent with the indictment as It stands"

"WHAT COULD THE POOR GIRL DO2"
George Broadhurst, one Of Americas |
foremost playwright-managers, and
Mark Swan, ingenious creator OF farci- /
cal fun, have combined talents and re-
sources to provide entertainment for
Wilmington playgoers five days begin
ming tomorrow when what Could the

az The Playhouse. Mr. Broadhurst ap-
pears In the capacity OF producer Of the
play and Mr.. Swan as the author. Both
will be IN the city TO supervise the
opening performances. For the inter-
probation Of the piece which Mr.. Swan
is said 10 have written with consummateI
skill, Mr. Broadhurst has provided a
cast Of Importance, assembling players
whose names are thoroughly established
! In the affections Of theatrcPoers.
Ernest Truck, Of every Good Eddie"
and "The Very Idea" fame, heads the
spectacular cast which includes the
veteran w. ]. Ferguson, Alphonse
/ Either Robert Ober, Leila Frost, Janet
Travers Ethel Strickland, John p VIII
son. Gerald pring and George LeSoir.
"What Could the Poor Girl Dog" does
a lot Of things In addition TO propound-
ing and answering a question. What Is
promised principally is 10 conculse the
spectator with merriment from the
moment the curtain rises and 20 keep
him in a state OF hilarity until its ilnal
fall. The embarrassing situation which
ensues when a bridegroom enters his
hotel suite TO nnd that his newly made
bride has apparently been entertaining
a male visitor during his brief absence
is the FIRST complication encountered IN
/ the raveling Of a tangled snarl Of com
plet situations. Any nimble witted farce
creator given the same-to hlm-ioyous
theme could evolve much merriment but
at the hands OF tho expert Mr.. Swan the
/ idea proved positively inspirational. The
comedy current there created carries

swe.p. The rrenene..

The third job for this characteristic
Yankee notion comes when our fellows
have reached the enemy trenches. At
that moment. even though but few
arrive, the Browning automatic rife
is expected to replace the bayonet and
bomb under certain conditions, and
multiply the effectiveness Of each SOL
der who gets across No Mans Land,
for the rapidity and accuracy Of the
Browning fire is such that 1t will be
only a matter Of seconds to sweep an
enemy trench in both directions.
There, are other tactical uses for the
weapon. AS few as a dozen Of these
automatic rifles are sufficient to lay
down ! temporary barrage at right
angles to a trench front. and even two
Of them quickly placed at opposite
ends of a trench front can establish q
cross fire as effective as a barrage un,
der some. circumstances For with
each gun firing along one leg Of a let.
ter v meeting and passing somewhere
out In No Mans Land, the chances OF
an enemy getting through this v will
be very slim-this will be defense
equivalent to frOntless rifle fire from
dozens of individual soldiers, and can
be established with the minimum OF
exposure. ..
These are the tactical points Of the
new weapon, and one has only to CON,
slider It from this viewpoint to under.
stand that technical questions such as
have been raised by laymen during
recent discussions Of the merits Of one
machine gun as against another do not
touch the heart of the. military prob,
lenl-both the design of this gun and
its use as a tool in battle are palpably,
matters to BE- left to military men.
Another interesting viewpoint on
both the light and heavy types OF
Browning guns can be gained by brief
ily considering the general development
'of machine guns as fighting tools
From the days Of sllngs and stones
and arrows lighting man has sought
