URGES AMNESTY
FOR FIGHTERS
Would Free All Except Those
Guilty of Felony; General
Pershing Makes Report

Washington, July 22.-Complete
amnesty for all soldiers, sailors and
marines convicted by court-martial,
except those whose offenses would
be a felony under Federal statutes,
was proposed in a bill introduced by
Senator amberlain, Democrat,
Oregon, and referred to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs.
THE stories coming to me-" said
Senator Chamberlain, in a statement
to the Senate, many of them veri-
fed, of the outrages being COM
mitted against young men through
the instrumentaltiy of courts-martial
are so horrible that some legislation
ought to be acted upon promptly
to obtain relief.
The fact that already the Glenn
ency Board has reduced the SEN
tences in the aggregate from $4,000
years to 800 years is proof posi-
tive that the sentences were out of
all proportion to the crimes COM
mitted. These $500 years ought to
be wiped out or placed at an ir-
reducible minimum.
Il want the people to understand
the terror inflicted upon our young
men by these sentences and also the
cruelties practiced against them.
The Spanish Inquisition was not
a mark to some of the cruelties
practiced against these soldiers IN
France"
Senator Chamberlain referred to
the investigation of cruelties beng
made by a House committee and
| said he would discuss some cases
of cruelty in a speech to the Senate
at late date.
1t became known to-day that Gen.
eral Pershing had made a report to
the War Department regarding
charges of brutality against prls-
oners at the Bastile and Prison
Farm No. 2, in France.
Secretary of War Baker said ne
regretted he could not make the re-
port public Immediately, but added

ENTITLED
TO : CENTS A MILE

Adjutant Pooler of the local branch
of the United War Veterans has re-
ceived blanks for use by soldiers who
were allowed only three cents per
mile travelling expenses. Returned
soldiers and sailors are entitled to
five cents mile and the balance due
may be obtained by use of the blanks.
The following more fully explains the
situation:
The Act of Congress approved Feb
ruary %. 1919. provides as follows:
That an enlisted man honorably
discharged from the army, navy or ma
rine corps since November eleven,
nineteen hundred and eighteen, or
who may hereafter be honorably dis
charged, shall receive five cents per
mile from the place of his discharge
to his actual bona fide home or resi-
dence. or original muster into the
service, at his option Provided, That
for sea travel on discharge transpor-
tation and subsistence only shall be
furnished to enlisted men.
In constituting this act. the comp
troller of the treasury, in a decision
dated April II. 1919, held in part a..
follows:
1t is therefore concluded that upor
discharge an enlisted man should b
paid five cents a mile from place
of discharge to place of origina
muster into the service and if the
place claimed to be that of his actua'
bona fide home or residence is a.
greater distance he can present q
claim for the difference between thai
amount and the amount paid hir
on discharge. Such claim should b.
made to the auditor for the war de
partment. where the evidence as tc
the actual bona fide home or resi
dence can be considered and such
amount as may be found due can be
certified for payment.

LIVESTOCK OFFICERS
APPOINT DELEGATES

The meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the Nevada Livestock Asso-
citation was held this afternoon in the
Offices of the First National Bank.
President ]. Sheehan presiding. j. II.
Clemons, Vernon Metcalf, c. H. Du-
borg. II. F. Dangberg, r. c. Turrittin
and J. p. Ellison are members of the
committee attending.
Discussion of whether the govern
ment shall take over the public range
was the subject of greatest interest at
the meeting today, although other
matters of interest were talked over
II was said the public range is over
grazed and regulation is now thought
to be an absolute necessity. The mat
ter is considered very important to
Nevada. the livestock industry repre-
senting thirty-one per cent of the
taxable wealth of the state.
This afternoon was devoted to Sc
lecting delegation to go to Salt Lake
City on July % next, the members OF
which will meet there with the secre-
taries of agriculture and the interior
and like delegations from other West
ern states.
Another question which was taken
up at the meeting today was the con-
solidation of county livestock organi-
zations. Each county in Nevada, II
appears, has a livestock association
and plans were made today looking to
include these bodies into the state
organization.
Difference of opinion exists between
cattle and sheep men in the question
of governmental regulation of the
range and the meeting in Salt Lake
City next month is to settle details
Organization of the state associations
has been urged by both federal and
state officials in an effort to improve

larly bad during the winter months

LATEST DECISION Of
S.SUPREME COURT

If your baggage contains wet goods
and you are travelling through dry
territory on an interstate trip. state
prohibition officers have no right to
search for the presence of John
Barleycorn. Patrons of the United
States railroad administration were
so informed following a decision by
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The decision delivered by Chief JUS
tice White holds that interstate pas
sengers are entitled to pass through
a prohibition state with liquor in
their possession.
Railroad officials say they have
been embarrassed by complaints Of
passengers baggage being broken in
to and searched for liquor in cases
where through trains have stopped at
stations in dry territory.
The policy of the railroad admin
istration is set forth as follows:
ITO protect passengers who are
travelling in good faith interstate and
to prevent the search or seizure of
their baggage: and, to prevent the use
of trains for bootlegging purposes and
to prevent, definitely as possible, the
shipment of whisky under the guise
of baggage on the trains either in the
drawing room or elsewhere, and to
prevent any collusion between en-
ployes and bootleggers."
