knocking out dozen teeth. He removed
the bullet from his throat himself. The
other wound was in one leg, which was
not serious. The wound in his face was
so well treated by the surgeons that

be seen. He was IN the battles of
Chateau Thierry, Mouse, Campaign and

SITUATION
in BERLIN
GRAVE
Fear Is Expressed That
Troops Will Throw Down
Arms. Railroad Strike
Grows. 10000 Out.
Especial United Press Wire.)

London, June 30.-With order re-
stored in Hamburg, the Berlin situa-
ton is becoming increasingly grave,
according to dispatches. Charging
a conspiracy to start nationwide
revolution, the government ordered
the arrest of all communist and in
dependent socialist leaders. In Ber-
lin, during demonstration last Fri
day, soldiers fired into a crowd,
killing two men and two women, and
wounding six, according to Copen-
hagen dispatch. A bomb was ex-
ploded outside the ministry of pub
lie works, shattering many windows
A portion of the garrison in the
capital, expressed formal desire to
quit the city. Fear is voiced that if
the request is granted, the troops
might throw down their arms and re-
fuse to serve longer, which would
leave the capital inadequately pro-
tected. General Won Lettow was
ready to march upon Hamburg with
heavy forces, when he was informed
that the movement was unnecessary,
as the city was occupied by govern
ment troops without disturbance.
The railway strike, according to all
official reports, now affects over
20,O 900 Workmen.

Attorney William Meyer appeared
for Morrissey, while the case against
the policeman is being presented by
Attorney David Wittenberg ACTING
for the plaintiffs.
At the beginning of this mornings
hearing Attorney Meyer moved to
strike out portions of the complaint
which made general allegations that
Morrisey was brutal by nature and
addicted to drunkenness" on the
grounds that unless the general
charges were supported by specific
instances the defendant was deprly-
ed of proper means Of defense. Upon
agreement of Attorney Wittenberg,s
who showed the general allegations
contained in the paragraphs COM
planned of were repeated in other
paragraphs of the complaint which
mentioned specific instances of al
legged brutality and drunkenness,
paragraphs three, four and five were
stricken from the complaint.
In agreeing to striking the para
graphs mentioned however, Attorney
Wittenberg reserved the right to in
troduce allegations of misconduct on
the part of Morrisey in addition to
those specifically enumerated in the
complaint as filed, in order to show
by cumulative evidence that the gen
eral charges of brutality and drunk
enness as originally charged were
sustained.
The police commission held that
since the tribunal was not trial
court in the judicial sense, but was
an informal body called to determine
whether Morrissey was proper per-
son to occupy position on the pol
ice force, the commission need not be
deferred by technicalities of intro
duction of evidence in seeking the
facts and rendering it's decision; that
whatever evidence opposing counsel,
by "gentlemen's agreement" might
keep from the commission, of course,
could not be considered, but that the
commission reserved the right to
weigh as it saw fit any and all evil
dence introduced in support Of the
specific charges made against Nor
risey, copy of which charges, the
commissioners said, had been in the
accused officers possession for some
time.
The decision of the commission
brought on lively verbal tilt be-
tween opposing counsel in which At
torney Peter Breen, also of counsel
for Morrissey Joined. Breen char
acteristically shook the walls of the
council chamber with yituperative
outburst against the Butte Bulletin,
cited Morrissey's patriotic" actions
in preventing the people of the city
from expressing their wishes at the
polls in the city primary election of
last fall and told of how thp spal1ant
officer" had jumped into the breach
in the last minute in his effort to
save the day for the forces of corrup-
ton. He declared in doing these
things, and presumably in beating
prisoners as alleged in the complaint,

Consider Austrian
Peace Treaty Today

L'Intransigeant, Certainly, there
are still injustices to be corrected,
and there are precautions, still to be
taken, but President Wilson is en-
titled to say the treaty renders lib
erty to the people and makes inter-
national law a reality. Equally
great was the signing of the. Anglo
American agreement to help France
in case of an attack. While the
house of commons will unquestion-
ably ratify the treaty quickly, it is
certain to be the principal battle in
the American senate. On the out
come of this battle the future secur-
ity of a good portion of the world
