IN CONTEMPT
FOR ACTIONS
Gen. Harris Gets Jail Sentence
For Failing to Produce
Draft Records.
APPEAL F ROM RULING
Justice SiddOns Acts on Facts
Secured From Ohio
Divorce Case.
APPEAL FROM RULING

by Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-A con-
tempt sentence of ten days in Jail
was imposed today on Mai. Gen.
Peter c. Harris, adjutant general OF
the army, by Justice Siddons of the
district supreme court for his re-
fusal to produce certain records in
connection with the selective service
act, which were sought in Ohio di-
Vorce proceedings.
An appeal from the ruling of the
court that such records should be
produced was Immediately noted by
counsel for Gen. Harris and the con-
tempt sentence automatically was
suspended pending disposition Of the
appeal.
Gen. Harris said he had his field
equipment ready and was prepared
to serve out the sentence if neces-
sary, but added that he did not eX-
pect 10 have to go TO Jail.
Justice Siddons, IN entering the
order adjudging the general in con-
tempt, directed that should he de-
eide TO produce the records sought
before the expiration of the ten days
he was to be released. The war
department, however, is to make a
test of the status of draft records.
The record which Justice Siddons
ordered the general 10 produce was
an affidavit made by Mrs. Mary II.
Walsh. in behalf of her husband,
Henry II Walsh. before Walsh's To-
cal board. Walsh Is now suing his
wife for divorce and his counsel OBJ
tained an order for the production
of the affidavit in connection with
these proceedings.
Gen Harris contended that Pres't
Wilson. in the order prOmuigating
the selective service act, promised
that certain information in cOnnec-
ton with the questionnaires would
never be made public and that
among this information was the
physical condition Of the men ex-
amined. matters relating to depend
ents and additional matter or affi-
davits that might be demanded. In
view OF this the general contended
that he was stopped from makinF
the information public. not only by
the law Itself, but also by the presi-
dents order. which constituted a
moral promise" TO the wives and
other relatives Of men called TO serv-
ice that information furnished by
thom would be kept from the public.
