Baker Deems Ansell's l..
Reply "Not Helpful"

The War Department will not make
public Lieut.. Col. Anselrs reply to
Maj. Gen. Crowder's report to the
Secretary OF War on court martial
conditions in the army.
Secretary Baker announced yester-
day that he had returned Col. An
sells letter because it seems to me
to be not helpful"
Mr.. Baker said:
Il have returned to Col. Ansell the
letter which he sent me, with the
suggestion that any recommendations
or suggestions he has to make with
reference to Improvement In the sub
stantive military law or In procedure
will be welcomed.
THE particular letter seems to me
to be not helpful. and therefore. I have
rturned 1t to him, and I have told
him that any suggestion he wants to
make he can make either through mil
itary channels or directly to me as
he may elect"
Action Surprises All.
The acion of the Secretary in re-
fusing to allow Col. AnselTs reply
to become public. or even to keep
it in the ..fies of the department,
came as a distinct surprise in mill
tary and Congressional circles.
Army regulations prevent Col.
Ansell from giving out his reply.
By adopting such a course, he would
lay himself liable to court martial.
When seen last night he declined,

ior obvious reasons, to comment on
the Secretary's announcement.
II was understood that in his note
to Co. lAnsel. Mr.. Baker gave as
a reason for returning the letter
instead of making il public. that
personal controversies between Of
ncers in the army could not be aired
in the newspapers.
Senator Chamberlin, chairman Of
the Military Affairs Committee in the
last Senate, was out of the city last
night. Those who have closely follow

called the intimation in his telegram

this was refused, some other means Of

temporarily located in Ma

Governor Harrison Is well known
here. through his service in the
House of Representatives and his So
cial activities. 1t will be his third
venture upon the sea of matrimony.
The fact that his fiancee is Just

Highest Court
Lets Inuentor
ReadHsCase
Unable to Hire Lawyer,
Chief Justice Allows
Unusual Request.

When William J. Brothers, New
York inventor. appeared in the Su-
preme Court yesterday for a hearing
in his suit against the Government,
he had no attorney. He explained
to Chief Justice White that he was
unable to hire one. So the court did
the unusual thing of permitting him
10 make his own argument in spite
of the fact that he has never been
admitted to practice.
The inventor was pitted against A.
Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General OF
the United States. He is suing the gov
eminent for alleged infringement Of
his patent rights to a car-unlosding
device. The, government is said TO
have used the invention In the con-
str1ction OF the Panama Canal and
to. have saved enormous sums OF
money thereby.
