BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, December 9.-(Speciai.)- )--Act- mg Postmaster II. A. GIosson is of the opinion that the appointment of post master for the office at Bessemer will be made within the next few weeks or be- fore January 1. according to a state ment made by him Tuesday
 MT. Glosson stated that he had received no information from the civil service de- partment at Washington that would lead him to believe that the appointment would be made so early but that it was usual for appointments to be made either January 1 or July 1, and the urgent need of the vacancy being filled at Bessemer was his reason for thinking that the postmaster would be named this month, and take up his duties on the first of. the year.
 Mir. Glosson was assistant postmaster at the time of the death of the incum- bent. J. H. Read, and has acted as post master since that time. This is the third time that he has filled the plac., caused by the death of three postmas- ters, and has reconstructed that he is quite capable of filling the place.
 There is much speculation as to who will receive the appointment. as the four applicants are all well qualified for the position and have many friends who are awaiting the appointment with interest. Capt. Lacey Edmundson is considered a strong contestant for the position as well as pr. William Waldrop and l.. w. Allen.

The defendant is Capt. Karl w. Detzer, a former newspaper man of Fort Wayne, Ind, who while attached to the 30Sth military police company. had charge un- der the provost marshal of all criminal investigation in the Le Mans area, the largest American concentration center in France, through which more than 100000 soldiers passed.
 It is charged that by various methods of torture he sought to extort confess sions from prisoners in order that 4hs might win favor in the eyes of his su- periors by the number of convictions he obtained.
 At the close of petzer's court-martial it is planned to place on trial on similar charges his first sergeant, w, &. Madden, of Pittsbnrg, a nephew of John E, Mad den, Kentucky horseman.
 Sergt. Frank l.. Hoyt, who is alleged to have aided and abetted Detzer and Madden, was said by members of the judge advocate to be a deserter in France. He has not yet been arrested.
 Methods which Detzer and his suborE- mates are alleged to have employed to W ring "confessions" from their prisoE- CTS resulted, it is alleged, in sending many men to the hospital for period of several weeks. officers of the judge ad- vocates's department admitted that many of the men of Detzer had to handle were hard characters often with long crim- inal records.
 The methods are said to have included orders to stand at attention for 36 hours, 10 minutes on and minutes off: with holding food and drink from prisoners until they acknowledged their guilt; pulling prisoners to their feet by the hair; striking them in the face and them with pistols. It also is charged that once Detzer compelled Private Marcello Gonzales of the 10th machine gun battalion to swallow lighted cigarette which he was smoking against orders.
 In all Detzer faces B specifications under charges of assault and conduct un- becoming an officer and general charges.
 If convicted on all counts, Maj. William l.. Kelley of New York, judge advocate, declared he faced a maximum sentence of fife impeachment

PUT PROFITS INTO DIAMONDS
Many Reasons Why Increased Demand

The waste Of war, by which many
suffer and few reap returns, is always
accompanied by demand for precious
stones. This war has differed only
from other wars in that the demand
was greater. Proflteers In the allied
countries have bought for the purpose

ly acquired wealth. AS the diamond
industry is the closest corporation in
the world, values are not likely to de
preciate, unless all the profiteers want
to change their investments at the
same time. At the present moment
the price is higher than 1t has ever
been.
The diamond dealer is of all trad
ers the least hampered by office re-
strictions. he frequently carries the
bulk of his stock in trade about with
him in his waistcoat pocket. The pub
lie street is, as often as not, his only
market place. In Haton gardens,
which is the chief center of the dia-
mond industry in London, may fre-
quently be seen little groups Of two,

VIRGINIA 4 TRUCKER EXPRESS
TRAIN WAS FIVE HOURS LATE

The passenger train due at 9:45
o'clock Tuesday morning arrived at
about 2:30 o'clock. says the Carson
City Appeal. 1t left Reno practically
on time, but because of drifts at the
Washoe cut. where for a distance of
200 feet the snow had piled up to a
height of fifteen feet. it has to come
to a standstill a short distance out
from Steamboat. while the snowplow
went ahead and cleared the way.
The local train from Virginia City
arrived in Carson on time and left on
schedule for Reno. where it probably
arrived without trouble. The wind
still blows at hurricane velocity
through washoe valley. according to
passengers arriving. so more work
may be piling up for the snowplow.
