RECORD OF ALL WAR CASES
Twenty-Seven Are Now Pending in
Three Kansas Districts.

Upon request from Attorney Gen
eral Harry NJ. Daugherty who wired
stating that the information was de-
sired by a senate committee for in
vestigation purposes, A. H. Skinner,
assistant United States attorney, to-
day submitted to the department of
justice for violation of wartime leg
islation.
According to Skinner, there are
twenty-seven cases of this kind pend
ing in the three Kansas districts, all
for alleged violation of the selective
draft act in none of which has there
been any arrests. The specific charges
range from failure to register to fail
ure to report for physical examina-
ton, which has allowed them to be
separated from the regular Stacker"
cases handled directly by the war de-
partment. Failure to return ques-
tionnaire or failure to report for ply
steal examination make up the charges
in a majority of the cases.
While the government will prose-
there is at least one case and probably
two that will soon be dismissed. In
these cases, Skinner says information
has been filed showing that the de-
PENDANTS volunteered for service about
the time the charges were made and
later fought overseas. If this informa-
ton Is finally verified to the Satisfac-
ton of the court. Skinner says the
cases not only will be dismissed. but
that proper journal entry will be made
showing why the action was taken.
The case which Skinner is positive
will be dismissed is that against
George w. Igo of Coffeyville, Kan.
who is charged with failure to return
his QUESTIONABLE. The district attor-
ney's office has learned that Igo vol
unteered for service May u. 1917,
sailed for France on May of the fol-
lowing year. and that after the war he
returned home as a first class private
and was honorably discharged at
Camp Dodge. Iowa, July &c, 1919. At
that time Igo gave his future address
as Cement. Okla.
The other case which may be dis
missed is that of Benjamin II. Hart,
of Newton, who is also charged with
failure to return his questionable.
Several affidavits have been received
by the district attorneys office show
ing that Hart was in the war overseas
but the case Is still being investigated

was suggested by AdolphzZukor, head
of the large film corporation that en7-
ployed William Desmond Taylor, and
one of the largest producers in the
industry.
THE one great remedial measure
that will work a correction of the
moral status of our profession, lies in
the appointment of a vigilance com
mittee that will provide for the good
name of it's members" Mr.. Zukor said
in an interview.
ut is necessary to see that those
few who violate the ediccs of good
conduct and bring discredtt and en-
barrassment to the many. are ruled
not only against. but out of the ranks
1T is not fair to those who con-
duet themselves as they should that
they should suffer by the i'll con-
sidered actions of others. My sug-
gestion, and shall strive zealously to
see that it is carried out, is the APP
pointment of Vigilants that shall work
unknown within the ranks.
What will be the penalty? The Of
tenders will be absolutely and I'M
equivocabIy ostracised. The commit
tee members will be instructed to
abolish from the list those complained
against. The public. in turn, will learn
of the dictum and will soon cast them
into the realm of oblivion"

health was totally wrecked and
ruined. She suffered untold pain and
anguish; and she is now an invalid,
and will be such the remaining part
of her life"
Miss Birkhead alleges that when
she first became aware of the fact
that she was to become a mother she
told the governor and he advised her,
contrary to her wishes, to have an il
legal operation. She asserts that she
that her child be placed in an insti-
! tuition in some distant town. eand he
could bring it home and adopt it and
neither Mrs. Russell nor any one else
need know who were the parents of
the child. He insisted that this idea
was impract!cable. that in the course
of SHORT time Mrs. Russell and 1
would have a fight over the child,
and that l would claim it. Then, too,
he insisted that the course l Suggested
would be too expensive and the fact
might become known and would in
Jure if not ruin his career as a politi-
cian."
The plaintiff then alleges that be-
cause of the insistence of the governor
she permitted herself to be operated
upon. with the consequent loss of her
health.
Then He Grew Cold.
After she had recovered from her
operation the girl asserts that she saw
the governor on several occasion, but
that he grew cold toward her. Finally,
she alleges that on one of these visits
the governor told me that unless L
promised that afternoon to leave Jack
son he would have me thrown into
the insane asylum-that he was gov
ernor and could have this done. He
had made this threat on numerous oc-
casions before, saying that Doctor
Mitchell, superintendent of the hos
pital, understood the matter and had
agreed to keep me there; that 1 would
be placed in a ward of the worst cases
and in view of my extreme nervous
condition I would in the course of a
few days really lose my mind. I am
positive that Governor Russell intend
ed committing the additional crime of
destroying my mind"
