SENTENCED ID DIE
 DESERTER |S FREED

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. Though under sentence of death for deserting in the face of the enemy to escape combatant service, Richard L. Stier- hein, private of the 315th infantry, 18th division. and a conscientious ob jector, deliberately risked his life to rescue wounded soldiers under fire in the fighting in the Nerdun sector shortly before the armistice was signed. A review of Private Stier- hein's record with report of General Pershing disappearing the death sen tence and directing that he be returned to duty for combatant service, was made public today by the war depart ment.
 Stierhein. according to his testimony at court martial, sought to be classed as a conscientious objector when drafted, but his claim was refused. After reaching France, he deserted with the intention of making his way to Spain and there being interned. He was apprehended and sentenced to be shot.
 Pending final approval of the sen- 1 tence, Stierhein was returned to his l company as a prisoner and was held in 1 the rear of his company. November
 3. the 18th division went into action 1 in the Verdun region. When the
 wounded began coming in, he volun- 1 teered as a litter bearer, and the rec
 ord shows that from November unti | the fighting stopped, November II, he
 risked his life time and again to savt
 wounded men and to carry water tt the wounded and dying on the battl( field.
 On the night of November 3, the re- port shows, he carried back to safety
 unassisted, three wounded comrades through shell and machine gun fire.

THEATER MEN TO FACE TRIAL. AT. 9:30 SAT URDAY
Judge Stanford Of Superior
 Court To Decide Whether Theatcrs Must Stay Closed During Flu Epidemic

Whether or not the city ordinance closing the thearers during the influ- cuza epidemic is valid will be decided by Judge Stanford on Saturday.
 The appeal from the city court was taken yesterday and although counsel for the theatrical men urged that argu- ments be heard forthwith, Judge Sloan for the city declared that i'll the inter est of the community he felt it deserved more serious consideration and asked for time as he was not fully prepared. The arguments will be heard at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and the court agreed to rule by noon so that ii he declared in favor of the theatres the regular Saturday afternoon matinee might be held.
 r. C. Struckmeyer, for the theater men, stated in court that his argu- meut would be based on the fact that the ordinance does not operate on all business alike" In addition to charg- ing that the ordinance is discriminatory he will contend that it places legisla- tive and judicial authority in the city health officer. Judge Sloan asked thai Mir Struclmeyer present his authori- ties before he appeared in court tC argue the matter, which was agreed.

BRITAIN URGES HER SOLDIERS TO STAY
 CALM UNTIL PEACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Jan. S.-The following of- ficial stateme~ = was issued tonight re- garding demobilization:
 The prime minister has been giving careful personal attention to the speed at which the process of demoblllzlng the army is being maintained He con- siders that his first duty is to make sure that the fruits of victory which have been won by the sacrifice of so many lives and by so many brave deeds, are not jeopardized by any ap- parent weakness on the part of Great Britain during the critical months of the peace negotiations.
 For this purpose, it is imperative that we should maintain strong army on the Rhine and, of course, necessary services behind the front. both in France and at home.
 Although the fighting has stopped, the war is not over. The German ar mics have not yet been demobilized and are still very powerful. No one can tell what the Germans will do, nor whether they will agree to the terms of | peace and reparation which We seek 10 l impose upon them. lmpatience now might lose. in a few weeks, all it has ! taken years of heroism and sacrifice to gain.
 1 DuiiiS llt IeAL ltN illCllNAAE7s VIC must be strong and united in order that a firm settlement may be made with the enemy, and that our country may exert its proper influence among other nations at the peace conference.
 Demobilization cannot be carried out in any way that would undermine the military strength of Great Britain, until final peace is secured. No less, how ever, than 300,000 men already have been demobilized. and steps have been taken to increase this speed as far as is possible, without injuring vital Brit ish interests in the world, or impairing the safety of our troops in Germany.
 ''Everything possible will be done tC remedy individual grievances, wher presented through authorized channelA but the men who have fought and sheC their blood in this war would rigidly hold the government responsible, if, af
 ter all the work they have done, it al
 lowed the results to be frittered away , And the nation, as a whole, has unmis takably expressed it's sentiments or this nOint" "

HAVE YOU SECURED
 YOUR FOUR OUNCES?

Four ounces of whiskey will be per mtted to each patient suffering from influenza if the proper credentials are furnished to Sheriff John Montgomery. This was the statement issued from the sheriffs office yesterday when many calls came for liquor which is said to be a cure for the disease.
 There are only eight pints on hand which the sheriff is free to dispense at this time, although if the situation demands arrangements will be made with the county attorney to use a part of the "evidence" now stored in the court house.
 Before securing even that small al- lotment of liquor, each, patient must present an order from his attending physician or from two reputable men who will testify that the case is bona fide.

MAKE ]. 5. DOLLAR \
 STANDARD SAYS OWEN

PARIS, Jan. S.-Cnited States Sen ator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, after conferring with authorities here and in London, has taken the view that the high prices prevailing in Europe and America are due in part to expanded foreign paper currency, and that Amer ican reserve banks, or a foreign reserve bank, analogous to the American sys- tenn, would be highly advantageous in making the American gold dollar the measure of international contracts. and thus expanding American commerce abroad.
 While in London. Senator Owen con- ferred with Sir Brien Cokayne, gov ernor of the Bank of England, Regi- hold McKenna, former chancellor Of the eXchequer, and leading officials of the English treasury. He also con- ferred here with the financial adviser of the American delegates and with Colonel House, Henry White and others. Summing up his observations, Sen ator Owen said:
 The high prices in Great Britain and France are due not alone to high freight and short supplies, but in part ! to the greatly expanded currency, which while nominally on a gold basis, is in reality based on governmental credit | and patriotism, British and French notes not really being available to get gold. Consequently, American dollars ] eXchangeable in America for gold. are 1 buying in Great Britain and France ' paper currency not actually convertible 1 into gold on demand and with a pur- ] chasing power much lower than in nor
 nal times.
 Tn the meantime, however, Ameri.
 cans are paying about twice as mucl
 for what they get in Great Britain anC | France as in normal times. This vii help to adjust the balance of trade and falls largely upon Americans trav

INCREASED SALARIES
 HAVE NIT BEEN PAID

Correcting a rumor in relation to the payment of the salaries increased by the last legislature in consequence of the decision by the supreme court in the Yavapai case. State Auditor Boyce said yesterday that the decision had nothing to do with the salaries in volved in the rumor, those of former Governor Hunt and Attorney General Jones' He added that the increased salaries had not been paid and would not be paid until suit had been brought against him and that so far. none had been instituted.
 Nor has there been any decision yet affecting the salaries of superior judges. The Laine case of Greenlee county has been appealed to the su- preme court, but there has yet been no opinion in that.

 The governor, however, had been aware of that, and he had done no more than fill vacancies. Five Of the mem bers of the board had sent their resig- nations to Governor Hunt and they had been accepted. It was those vacat- ed places which had been filled.

Richards and c. A. Dickerson, defend ants in the test case.
 It was contended by counsel for the defense that since the city attorneys office was the author of the ordinance it should be prepared to defend it. They claimed that on Wednesday the city's legal representative had been notified that the matter would be brought to the superior court to determine the validity of the order.
 An injury is being done to the the ater men of the city" said Struckmey- CT declaring the ordinance discriminat- ing, harsh and unjust, and claiming that such had been the decision of the California superior courts.
 Asked No Damages.
 In arguing immediate ruling by Judge Stanford, he said that the theater man. agers might have forced the issue by applying for restraining ordinance or might have opened their houses in de- fiance to the ordinance, which would have led to confusion. Further, he stated the defendants might have sub jected the city to action for damages, none of which we desire to do," he added, asking only that the court pass 1 on the matter at once.
 1 In discussing the situation Struck meyer held that the ordinance took away property rights and was directed solely against the theatres, while every other business in the city was permit | ted to run. He called the courts at tention to the fact that Saturday and i Sunday were the most profitable days l for the motion picture houses ano asked for an early decision.
 "The best interests of the community outweighs any financial loss these gen I temen might suffer" said Judge Sloan l He insisted that he was not asking fol a delay, only for reasonable time. "N' doubt your honor wished to be informed
 on the law" he stated, addressing th' court. Tt would be absurd to attemp to go into the matter today. would

HOW H " THEY turn RI THE
TRICK over IN IDAHO

Pocatello, Idaho, April 9.-Poca-
tello has been dry, or supposedly so,
for number of years. The police
court record shows. however, that
there is sufficient quantity OF the
banned liquid to excite suspicion.
A tar begrimmed barrel appeared
on the freight platform of the local
station not long ago. 1t was con-
signed to a paint company" which,
officers discovered, did not exist.
The barrel was examined and found
to contain the banned spirits-regu-
lar ten-year-old whiskey- about 35
gallons. The barrel was allowed to
rest for days in the hope that the
owners might 'be indiscreet enough
to claim it. But the officers finally
became tired of the watch and con-
cluded to move it. The task was
easy. The barrel was unusually
light and when moved from its po-
sition there was disclosed an augur-
hole through the platform and into
the bottom of the barrel. The con-
tents had been drawn under the eyes
of the officers. days before, and no
doubt had been converted into cash.
For a long time a mysterious wo-
man with baby carriage confused
the officers, who could not locate
the source Of supply, until one day
the woman proved her own best Gus
toner and permitted the baby to re-
main alone for several hours while
she enjoyed spree with some of
her customers, Under the baby's
trapping was the remainder of
half case of whiskey.
