CRACK AT WAR HEADS
Rep. Laguardia Says Some Officers
EmpIoyed Teutonic Methods.

New York, April Suppression,
abuse and "Teutonic militarism,'
which he declared were practiced by
some American army officers in the
treatment of men under their COM
mand, was condemned by Representa-
tive Laguardia, former commander
of the United States flying forces in
Italy, in a letter made public today,
demanding the transfer of a wounded
soldier from the base hospital at Camp
Dix to another in Brooklyn.
The congressman declared that de-
NAL of the transfer because the pa
tent, Sergt. Thomas F. Mcguire, had
overstayed leaves of absence was con-
trary to the war department regula-
tions. The representative letter adj
dressed to the commanding officer at
the Camp Dix hospital was written
before he sailed yesterday on the
Leviathan with Secretary of War Ba-
ker and members of the house military
affairs committee. Former Major La
guardia asserted in his letter. a copy
of which was sent to the surgeon gen.
eral. that the vindictiveness of certain
officers was causing much trouble in
the army
He termed as ridiculous any talk of
disciplinary measures against a soldier
undergoing hospital care and about to
be discharged. He classed the treat
ment accorded Mcguire as shameful,
and suggested that army doctors
should know more about medicine
and less about obsolete regulations"

HYDE SUES STAR
Physician Tried Thrice for MUIR
der Wants 215 Millions.
Says X. C. Paper Did Damage
to Him by Story.

Kansas City, April S.-Suit for 3d.
500, 600 against the Kansas City Star
today was filed by Dr. B. Clark Hyde,
three times tried on charge of muir
dering Col Thomas H. Swope. bache-
lor and millionaire uncle of Mrs. Hyde.
The suit 1s based on an allegation
of damage growing from the publica-
ton in The Star of an alleged quota
ton of > conversation between nurses
in the Swope home and DR.. G. T. ivy
man, Colonel Swope's physician, fol-
lowing the death of Colonel Swope.
Doctor Twyman died while a jury to
try Doctor Hyde was being empanelled
and efforts of the state to have the
alleged conversation entered in the
records of the case failed.
The charges against DR.. Hyde were
dropped after his third trial, which
resulted in a disagreement in the jury.
DR.. Hyde asks u million dollars &C
tual and two million dollars punitive
damage. DIR. Hyde says he suffered
great humiliation and mental anguish
by the publication of the Twyman
statement. 1t appeared in the Star in
the issue of May H. 1910.

is UP TO COMMISSION
Civil Service Board May Say What
Jobs Are Not Classified.

OOOS -AAC- ANOt SATA-oAAC0s
Richard ]. Hopkins, attorney gem
eral, this afternoon checked up to the
state civil service commission the re-
sponsibility of saying whether the state
house custodian and a number of other
appointees are under jurisdiction OF
the commission. If the commission
holds the men to be in the exempt
class, it has no power to fill vacancies
OF to direct appointments.
Hopkins also held that where a posi-
ton is in the classified list-subject
to commission action-and later
placed on the exempt list. the COM
poiptment. The opinion of the attor-
neyegeneral, however, does not direct
ly state to the commission the status
of the custodian or other state house
appointees. He merely holds that the
commission has no power over persons
rules or regulations governing their
appointment or service
1t is also held by the attorney gen.
eral that it is not the duty of the COM
mission to make investigation of Off
GERS in service thirty days before ex-
piratior of four year terms except
where complaints have been specifi-
cally filed. Persons under civil serv-
ice can only be removed. Hopkins
holds, where complaints are filed and
hearings are held by the commission.
& Last week the civil service comm s.
sion checked the matter up to the a.
