has been completely exonerated, after
the case had been twice reviewed by the
Judge advocate general of the Army.
Even a renrimand which officials of the
local Guard sought to give him after the
War Department had twice dismissed
the charges has been vacated.
The charges grew out OF allegations that
Capt. Jorgensen had failed to answer
certain correspondence directed to him
by the adjutant generals office or the
local Guard. After the charges were
made. they we're sent to the War De-
partment with the request that the
President of the United States name the
officers who were to sit on the general
court-martial. Here the papers struck
their first snag, for the judge advocate
general refused the request for the APP
pointment of the court on the ground
that no case had been stated. upon
their return. with this comment, Guard
officials again sent the case to the war
Department, but again they failed to
make SUCH u iCb&A 0OaVShANAAS NA $500
as would warrant the officer being
brought to trial by court-martial. In
returning the case, the War Department
said that while failure to answer the
correspondence may have been repre-
hensible, nevertheless there was no legal
reason for bringing the officer to trial.
Then officials of the Guard under
took to close the case by giving Capt.
,Jorgensen a reprimand and directing
that it be made part of his efficiency
record. Upon receipt of this reprimand,
the Guard officer promptly directeu
letter to the President of the United
states. declining to accept the reprimand
under a provision of the articles OF war
and demanding trial by general court
martial on the merits Of the case. or
else that the reprimand be vacated. The
Guard officials, after several months,
decided to withdraw the reprimand.

BERMUDA PLANS
FIRST RAILWAY

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 4
(AP)-The inSular government OF
Bermuda, caught in the rush OF
progress, has authorized the con-
struction of a 29-mile railroad
the first on the islands.
The cost will exceed $l,OOO,O 600
and all of the capital is British.
The directors of the British Trac-
ton Company are the. Marquis OF
Winchester, Lord Darlington, Ar
thur F. Hadley. Ernest T. Thorton
Smith, Sir George Levenson Cover
and G.. C. Hans Hamilton.
All are officials of British rail-
road companies. Ten miles will
be completed this year and the
system will be electrified from the
start.
The question of better transpor-
tation in Bermuda has been a
topic of partisan discussion for
many years. The proposal to eS-
tablish motor bus lines instead of q
railroad was finally rejected be-
cause of the old public sentiment
against the presence of automo-
bileS on the islands.
It is expected that the interest
on the investment will be taken
care of chiefly by tourists from
the United States and Canada.
