SIPE FREED IN
MILITIA CASE

Richard V. Sipe, county clerk OF Ma
rion county, will not have to serve five
days at hard labor on the penal farm on
orders Of an Indiana state militia court
martial, because the courtmartial failed
to take the required oath before trying
sip6.
This was decided yesterday by Judge
Louis p. Ewbank of circuit court, in
Sope's writ of habeas corpus case against
Adjt Cen Harry b. Smith and other
officers Of the state militia.
Judge Ewbank did not rule on the le-
gality of the state militia, which was at
tackled by counsel for Mr.. Sipe, who al
legged that no law existed under which
1t could be organized.
The court based his opinion on the
grounds that the oath, which is required
by law to be administered to the judge
advocate and other members of the court
martial was not given.
Even assuming that the Indiana State
Militia was and ia a lawful organization
and that the petitioner, Richard V. Sipe,
was duly enlisted as a member of it," the
court said, land that a proper order was
made convoking the court martial re-
ferred to in the return to this writ, with
out undertaking to decide that any of
them were or were not lawful and regu-
lar, it is still true that the members of
the court martial and the judge advo-
cate wholly failed and omitted to take
the oath prescribed by the statute, the
taking of which is absolutely essential to
the lawful organization of a court-mar-
tiaI under the laws Of Indiana, but that
they respectively took oaths which were
wholly different in substance from the
/ prescribed oaths,"
| Judge Ewbank held that the failure
to take the required oath "codld not and
did not" give the court martial Grim
| inal jurisdiction"
The court held that the writ Of the
state does not constitute a sufficient
cause for arrest and the detention Of
Sipe.
Attorney White, representing the at
torney generals office. said that the state
would protect It's. rights and :ntimated

TRUST FEARED
IN SHIP SALES
Government Watches Bids on
Hundreds of Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Enforcement
officials are carefully investigating all
bids made on the hundreds Of ships 1t
has for sale. taking every precaution to
prevent the vessels falling into the hands
OF a gigantic shipping trust.
Government officials believe this trust
has already been formed, with the object
OF buying in the best of the shipping
board vessels at low rates
1t was learned yesterday the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine, a New York
corporation has offered to purchase in a
single block all Of the thirty former Ger
man passenger vessels, recently put on
the market by the shipping board
The price offered was not disclosed
But although the international Mercantile
Marine is not suspected OF being in
volved in the workings OF the alleged
trust, and SO far as officials know It is
acting entirely for its own interests, the
governments precautions are so thorough
that II is believed the offer OF this cor
poration will be turned down. The
shipping board Is opposed to control or
ownership OF too many ships by a sim
gle concern.

HUNTER TAKES
OVER 400 LIONS
Ben Lily Champion American
Hunter of Big Game.

Americas champion lion hunter didn't
win his laurels In the jungle Of Africa.
He won his title right here in the old
L. S. A, and to date he has f. string
OF some 400 lion scalps to his credit
This nimrod's name is Ben Lily. His
home is wherever vicious big game
American lions, grizzlies, wolves, coyotes
or bObcats-are preying upon the herds
Of American ranchmen. Just now he is
assisting i've stock associations Of New
Mexico to rid that territory of predatory
animals. Next month he may be farther
north, on the trail OF winter famlshed
timber wolves. For he Is a real police
man Of the wilds, and his beat is the
whole wild west.
Born of a good Louisiana family, Lay
ran away from home at an age when
most youngsters are struggling with the
tntricacies of the three RS. Hencefor-
ward his schooling consisted of gaining
a first handed education concerning the
life and habits Of such beasts as noun

mountains.
a natural historian as are many students
who spend their lives in delving through
text books dealing with life in the
Jungle.
To Lily, a complete knowledge OF the
habits and haunts of the predatory ami
mails meant not only livelihood but also
life-as he has been cornered times in
Vulnerable when only his ability to out
trick the lions, bears and wolves enabled
him to get away with a whole skin.
On one occasion an enraged lloness
cornered Lilly with one of his dogs a
considerable distance from his camp.
Lily was unarmed, except for a rather
fragile three-inch pocket knife, which he
carried. The dog engaged the mad
dened lioness, but soon was severely
wounded. Then Lily entered the fray
and despite his lack of fighting equip
ment, his knowledge of how a lion fights
enable him to conquer
particularly obnoxious grizzy caused
all kinds of death and disaster in one
prominent live stock region OF Arizona
several years ago, Alarmed by the
ravages of bruin and unable to track
the marauder to his lair, the local ranch
ers finally hired Lily to trail down the
beast
This bear led Lily a chase through
four states before he was finally able to
get within range Of lbruin and drop him.
During the last seven years "Lively"
Lily has killed 1877 mountain lions and
sixty Ave dangerous bears, a large num-
Der of which were grizzlies. During the
decade and a half which preceded, he
was employed by the federal government
to collect wild animal exhibits for use in
museums and parks.
1t is estimated that during his life
time he has saved western rancheFs ag-
gregate losses in live stock of 100000.
This is based on the fact that the average
wolf kills $1,000 worth of live stock a
year; the grizzly bear and mountain lion,
respectively, $500; and the bobcat or
coyote, each 500.

BRITISH FREIGHT
RATE INCREASES
MAY CUT COSTS
100 Per Cent Boost on Some
Articles Expected to Re-
duce Congestion.
PORTS OF ENTRY CHOKED

LONDON. Jan. 31.-The ministry Of
transport has just unobtruslvely an
bounced by means of a modest adver-
tisement in the Newspapers the long de-
6erred increase of railway freight rates.
This again calls attention to the inter-
esting complex problem of transport
congestion which has been so injurious
to the welfare Of the business community
and the country as a whole Some indi
rect effects of this increase of railway
rates are worth noting. 1t is not mere
attempt to make the railways pay, and
indeed its precise results remain to be
seen.
The natural expectation, for example,
would be that prices would again rise,
but this is by no means certain, for IL
the new increases play any part in rem
edying- the traffic congestion, which is
their chief object, they viii tend to lower
prices
UP 100 PER CENT
ON SOME ARTICLES.
The new rates. it should first be noted,
involve a very pronounced increase on
the existing charges They are up 100
per cent on small parcels and certain
returned empties'' which have been
blamed for a considerable part of the
crease in the charges for coal, coke, and
patent fuel besides a fiat rate addition
Of Sd per ton. The rates for other mer-
chandise are increased 80 per cent, 90
per cent, and 60 per cent, besides various
fat rate additions.
1t is the expectation Of the railway
directors that the increased rates and
charges will remain in force until eight
cen months after the government con-
troll of the railways has ceased, and dur
ing this period, the railway companies
will apply to parliament for alterations
in their statutory powers. presumably
to enable them to stabilize the position
created by increased expenditure, on the
one hand, due to increase of wages and
rise in the price Of material, and on
the other hand to the increased rates
now put in operation.
/ GOVERNMENT MAKES
PROMISES GOOD.
In this connection 1t is to be remem-
hered that the government promised,
when It took over the railways during
the war, that it would hand them back
! 'unimpaired in net revenue earning ca
+ pacity."

WOMEN INSIST
ON RECOGNITION
IN WORLD PACT
British Suffrage Leader Says
ShackleS Must Be Taken
From All Females.
EAST BIGGEST PROBLEM

LONDON, Jan. 31-"The league of ma
tions has got to fully recognize the
woman suffrage movement in every way
or the women of the world will have to
take drastic and telling action.
This was the declaration made by Miss
Chrystal Macmillan, first recording sec
rotary of the International Woman Suf-
frage Alliance, on her return from Spain,
where she has been for the purpose of
arranging for the international conven-
ton of the organization next May. This
will be the first International convention
held since a year before the world war.
and in the meantime many changes have
occurred, several countries having
granted full or partial suffrage to both
sexes.
WOMEN DENIED IN
SOME COUNTRIES.
"In spite of the fact that many of the
countries of the world have granted
equal rights to women" continued Miss
Macmillan, "it is a fact that there are
many so-called intelligent nations which
deny equal rights to US Spain, Italy
and France in this hemisphere and all
the South American nations in the west
ern world refuse to recognize the right
of women to have an equal decision with
the men in vital matters of social or
political interest This is going to be
altered and all the energies OF the
Woman Suffrage Alliance are going to
be devoted to seeing that these nations,
together with China and Japan, give us
what we should have.
after seven years the International
alliance is going to hold its full conven-
ton in Madrid, from May to May s,
inclusive. This meeting, held at so crit
zeal a period of the women's movement,
and the first after so many years of
separation, is of supreme importance.
Since our last convention, held at Buda-
pest In 1918, thirteen new countries have
given the suffrage to women, but many
still remain in darkness.
WOMEN OF EAST
STILL PRISONERS"
"There are also the women Of the east,
for many of whom the work of enamel
patton has hardly begun. Even in the
countries which have the suffrage for
women there is much to be done, for in
no country does there exist an equal
moral standard, fun economic opportuni-
ties or equality in marriage relations.
This must be altered and we must
and will-insist on our rights in these
matters.
THE league of nations must incor-
porate in It's rules such amendments or
orders required by the free women of
the world. The time has come at last
when we can demand our rights and fun
recognition. and only by concerted action
can we obtain what we desire.
Delegates to the convention win be
present from all over the world. India
will send strong and representative del
egation. and there will also be repre-
sentatives from China and japan. We
believe that the convention will have a
marked effect on the progress Of the
world, and that the results Of our de-
alterations viii be studied by the va
rious governments in the countries in
terested"
