ICE CONDITIONS
IMPROVED TODAY
Higher Temperature Causes

And Walking Is Better
SHIPPING AT STANDSTILL

With the more moderate tempera-
ture today, ice conditions generally,
and as far as they have affected pc
destrians in particular, during the
sleety weather of the last several
days, are greatly improved
The snow storm forecast by the
weather bureau as due to set in last
nights must have been sidetracked
somewhere. In it's stead a drizzling
rain prevailed, intermittcnty. This
only added to the slippery conditions
under foot during the night, but with
the rising of the temperature towards
morning, Annapolitans were able TO
get about the streets with less danger
of failing.
Navigation in the bay, and the riv-
ers and other estuaries, however. still
remains seriously impeded owing TO
the solid condition of the ice in many
places, and heavy foes in Others
Around Sandy Point particularly.
there are masses of the heavy cakes
of ice. II is out of the question for
bay vessels, such as oyster schooners

larger ea-going steamers are able
to make much progress to and from
the port of Baltimore. All OF the
Tolchester Company's steamers arc
tied up at their piers in Baltimore
and so are those which ply the lay
and other river routes. The icetoat
Latrobe, the only~sice- now
available has been working night and
day, battling with the heavy ice in
the upper bay. and has kept chan
mel open for the larger vessels, at
the same time giving assistance TO
the craft that become stuck in the
big foes.
Just how long the present thaw
will continue. not even the weather
sharps know. The sun has shown it
self from behind the clouds at in
tervals during the day. but the hor-
izon is pretty generally overcast. and
what little wind has been blowing is
from the northeast quarter, all of
which would hardly indicate that
clearing conditions are in sight just
now. The weather bureaus forecast

for his dead master.
The dog howls piteously around the

TRIAL OF SOLDIER
PRESENTS BIG ISSUE
Important Points Involved In
Verdict Of Manslaughter In
Case Of Army Captain
MAY CAUSE AN UPSET

Capt. John s. Strahorn. assista nj
L. S. District Attorney for Maryland
has just returned from Atlanta. Ga.
where he has been for several DAYS
in private practice. on behalf of a
former Army Captain, now confined
in the Federal Penitentiary there
who was found guilty or manslaught-
er by general court-martial. held at
Camp Sewer, S. c., in 1918, on a
charge of murder
This case bids fair to attract more
than usual notice. The question of
the release of the accused under a
writ OF habeas corpus, issued in the
United States court for the northern
district of Georgia has seemingly
stirred up a considerable Juror in the
office of the Judge Advocate General
at Washington. since that office was
unwilling to have the District Attor-
ney at Atlanta handle the case alone
in the trial of it on the 9th inst. 1t
Col Francis E. McGovern. a member
of The Judge Advocate Generals
STAFF, appeared for the Government
at the hearing.
The points raised by the petition
for the writ are of unusual interest.
especially to the Law department of
the Government. and, accidentally. to
any former soldier who may have
been in trouble during his service.
which brought him before a court
martial
AS was argued by Colonel Me-
Govern, If one of the reasons shown
is sustained by the court. it may re-
suit in a great number of convicted
soldiers having their confinement ter
minated promptly. These reasons
are: That the court-martial was not
legally appointed that it had no jur-
isdiction over the accused, since no
proof that he was legally ihducted
into the service was introduced; that
the court-martial had no jurisdiction
over the crime, since the trial was
not completed until after the armis-
tice. and that the commitment is not
in accordance with the findings, since
the court said that he Should be con-
fined in a place to be designated by
the Reviewing Authority. and the
Commanding Officer OF the camp, a
review failed to point out any place
of confinement.
