CAPTAIN ON STAND
IN COURT MARTIAL
TeStifies Drugs May Have
Hidden Symptoms of Pri-
vate PendIeton.

Possibility of an error in medical
judgment by the Army physicians at
tending Private Guy Pendleton at
Fort Eustis, Va, last year by ad-
miniStering narcotics was admitted
by Capt. Alfred Mordecai. several
times officer of the day while Pendle-
ton was in the post hospital, during
testimony today before the general
board of court-martial trying Maj
George W. Cook, commanding officer
of the Fort Eustis Hospital, on
charges of malpractice and neglect
Questioned by Col. Peter b Field.
as to whether the symptoms of the
patient were masked by the narcotics
given him. Capt. Mordecai said they
probably were. and admitted that pos
sibly it might have been better to
allow the patient to suffer more pain
and TO be sure OF the symptoms than
to alleviate pain and disguise the
symptoms. Capt. Mordecai said that
in his Judgment death of the patient
would have been risked had Private
Pendleton been transferred to q gen.
eral hospital within few days after
the automobile accident in which he
suffered fractures of the femur of
both legs. For this reason and the
possibility of hemorrhage the pa
tient was not transferred.
Mai Cook Helped.
Maj. Cook, the commandant and the
accused. gave him every possible as
SiStance in the care of Pendleton,
Capt Mordecai said. He did not, how
ever, examine the patient in the pres
ence of the officer of the day, the
witness said. although he watched
Capt. Mordecai dress the wounds on
the legs of Pendleton. Maj. Cook was
fully aware of the condition of the
patient, Capt. Mordecai said. by fire.
Quent conferences with the Army
physicians in charge of the case.
Narcotics were given to the patient
practically every day to relieve pain,
the witness said. but not in over large
doses, in his judgment. The patient,
in the opinion of the witness, was
never considered a drug addict. Capt.
Mordecai said he was one of the first
doctors to see Pendleton after he was
brought to the hospital. He said he
diagnosed the condition of the legs as
dangerous, but admitted little possi-
bility of death. He said that after
treatment for reduction of the frac-
lures he believed that while end-to-
end opposition of the bones might not
ensue, at least partial functioning Of
the limbs might be brought about by
trea tment

of DR.. Fowler.

A delegation headed by several
members of Congress today appealed
to the District Commissioners to sup
port the farmers of Maryland and
Virginia in their efforts to sell their
milk to Washington dealers on a co"
operative plan.
They also protested to the city
heads against the policy of Health
officer Fow1er of permitting milk
ington pending inspection of farms
and issuance of permits.
The delegation included Senator
Swanson and Representative R. Wal
ton Moore of Virginia and Represent
ative F1orian Lampert of Wisconsin.

sociation. Health officer Fowler was
present.
Backs Co-Operative Selling.
Representative Moore pointed out
to the Commissioners that Congress
by a recent act had sanctioned the
right of farmers to market theil
products on cooperative plan and
that he felt the District Commits
sioners should take a definite stand in
support of that right.
The Commissioners told the delega-
tion they would give careful con-
c;,J fn all of the ArgumenI
The present milk fight is a result
of the unwillingness of the loca
dealers to sign contract agreeing
to buy their milk through the pro-
ducers association in lieu of the pres
ent method of dealing directly with
each farmer.
Pure Milk Assured.
Health Officer Fowler last night
issued statement assuring the
people of Washington that none but
pure. wholesome milk will be per-
mitted to enter the District during
the so-called war" between local
dealers and the producers of Mary
land and Virginia.
The war will take the form of a
contest in which each side will
endeayor to demonstrate that 1t can
get along without the other.
The dealers, VINO reIuSe 10 Sign

through the Producers Association
are planning to get milk from other
sources The Producers Association
is making arrangements to ship milk
here and market it if the dealers dc
not take it.
During the continuance of, the
present dispute" said Dr. Fowler
i'the health department will maintain
a strictly neutral attitude, granting
to both sides of the controversy all
the rights and privileges conferred
upon them under existing law"
The first move of the dealers to
get a supply of milk Independent OF
the Producers Association was taken
Yesterday, when ten new farms ap-
piled to the health Office for permits
DR.. Fowler explained that pending
inspection of these farms they have
a right to ship milk into the city.
All of the applications were accom-
panied by the required charts. show

Ignoring the recent rebuke of TIE
United States Railroad Labor Board
directed against the Pennsylvania rail-
road because of the carriers defiance
of one of the boards decisions, the
Northwestern region of the road com
pleted election of employee representa-
tives of the shOpmen and miscellan-
eOus forces under the roads employee
representation plan, railroad officials
announced. Although the appeal of
the Pennsylvania system to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court resulted in
the court unfolding the boards right
to rebuke the road, the board had no
power TO enforce its ruling.
Making a new departure in the field
of railway regulation the Interstate
Commerce Commission held that there

fused to permit the Virginan railway

charges that the syndicate promised

Railroads operating in the Rocky

sissippi valley points to the Rocky

While both the United States and
Canada increased their expectations of
flour during the war, the Canadian
gain has been well maintained since
the war, with the United States tend.
ing to lose the increase, it is shown
by an investigation conducted by the
Commerce Department. Before the
war the United States exported on the
average of 1O,67S,0OO barrels of flour
a year, while Canada exported 1882
900 barrels. At present Canada's ex.
ports average 7,SS5,OOO barrels n year.
while exports from the United States
are averaging 100000 barrels.

SITUATION is GRAVE, LORD
LORD cURZoN TELLS HOUSE
OF LORDS
PLANNED
GREAT BRITAIN OBJECTS TO
SEARCH FOR LIQUOR WITHIN
TWELVE-MiLE LIMIT

ondon.-NTarquis Curzon, secretary
for foreign affairs, made long ana
important statement in the House OF
Lords few days ago in reply to Lord
Blrkcnhead, who called attention TO
the seizure by the United States of Ii
quor on British vessels.
The secretary declared there was no
chance of Great Britain agreeing in
any circumstance whatever to the pro-
posal that the United States authori-
ties he given the right to search yes
sells for liquor within the twelve-mile
limit. The government. he added, was
fully alive to the Importance of the
case, and all channels Of diplomacy
were being utilized to find an exit
from situation which was undoubted-
is disagrecable and ought not TO be al
lowed to continue.
Lord Curzou explained that 1t was
"A difficult and delicate matter, raising
grave issues in both International law
and policy. The British government
was not concerned with American pro-
hibitlon, which was a matter Of domes-
tic policy, in which the British gov
eminent was not interested In express
Ing an opinion. But 1t was concerned
with the treatment metcd out TO Brit
ish ships in United States territorial
waters and the degree in which that
treatment confOrmed to or departed
from international practice.
He would not discuss the legal right
of the United States to impose on for
cign vessels entering its waters be-
cause on this subject international law
WAS decisive.
Great Britain's legal position, ac-
cordms to its legal authorities, Lord
Curzon said, is as follows:
There are two recognized princi.
pies Of international law which pre-
vent us from contcnding that the
United States committed violation of
international law in forbiddIng foreign
vessels to bring liquor within its
waters. The first Is that foreigners
trading with country must comply
with its laws the second Is that every
sovereign independent state is
supreme over all persons and property
within its dominionS, including ships
in its territorial waters.
THAT is the strict Interpretation of
the law. A ship is travelling unit
passing from one state to another and
therefore cannot escape the necessity
| of complying with other legal systems
which may not be consistent with law
Of the particular country 1t happens
| to be visiting. Furthermore, 1t is uni.
| verSally recognized that ship has q
particularly close relationship to the
| state whose flag she flies, and or
| many matters it is generally convent
| ent that all governments should recog
nize the law of the flag state as para
| mount.
This, however, is international
| practice, rather than international
law, and accordingly departure from
| it means a breach not of internntiona
| law, but Of the comfy Of nations
| Thus if nation acts unreasonably to
ward the ships Of other nations tn,
| latter may rctaliate."
