BergdoN Loses Plea,
Is Ordered 10 Serve
Seven Full Years
Writ Of Hobeos Corpus
For Droft Dodeer Is
Dismissed in New York
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17-Federal
Judge John C. Knox today dismissed
a writ Of habeas corpus obtained in
behalf OF Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, World War draft dodger, and
ruled Bergdon must serve the full
f1ye-year sentence imposed in 1920
by an Army court martial, and in
addition a two-year sentence i'm
posed in 1889 for his flight to Ger
many.
Judge Knox upheld the Govern
ment's contention that at the time
Bergdoll was countmartialed as an
Army deserter, state of war existed
between the United States and Ger
many.
Notwithstanding the fact that at
the time Of sentence hostilities be-
tween the United States and Ger
many had long ceased" he said, "a
state OF war between the two coun-
tries still continued"
Assistant United States Attorney
Matthias Correa had pointed out
that Congress had not declared a
state of peace until March 3, 1921.
In seeking the writ, Bergdoll's at
torney had contended that on the
basis OF an executive order OF Presi-
dent Wilson in 1916, punishment for
desertion was limited to 18 months
imprisonment If the deserter had
been in service less than six months
Judge Knox ruled: The Presi-
dents right to prescribe limits to
punishment of military offenders is
confined to times of peace. In times
of war the mandate of Congress, so
far as it concerns the right of a
court-martial to pronounce such
judgment as its discretion dictates
is the measure of the court-martial's
authority"
The mandate" he referred to was
a statute making the punishment
for desertion as severe as death.
Bergdoll in 1918 was accused of

Possessions Marked.
The kingdom OF Sumer. he said,
developed along democratic lines
from the first. Although it eventually
became a powerful empire the in
dividual always was the chief facto"
in society. his rights were held
sacred, and the king never became
more than a servant Of the people
With the stress placed on private
property, he explained. it became
necessary for a person to have some
means of marking his possessions.
To this end was developed the So
called cylinder deal" a drawing of
some bird or animal impressed on
clay.
AS civilization grew more complex
and more and more laws were
needed to safeguard property it be-
came necessary to coordinate these
seals into sort Of picture writing
which contained the crude form Of
most Of the latters of the present
alphabet.

ever, she regarded it as a joke and
laughed heartily at the threats.
Before the introduction of this
operation schizophrenia - literally
"soul-splitting'-was considered es-
sentially incurable although there
were sometimes spontaneous re-
coveries. 1t still remains one of
the most serious diseases in the
United States-its victims filling
more hospital beds than those Of
any other malady.
In the past four years, however,
several treatments have been in
troduced with remarkable results.
One of these, world center of ex-
pertinent with which is St. Eliza
beth's Hospital in Washington, is
the production of extreme convul-
sions by means of the drug met

tins often recover their mental bal
ance, sometimes permanently.
Not only are these new treat
ments bringing about a fair num-
ber of cures, DR.. Strecker said, but
they are leading to a better under
standing of the mechanisms Of
mental disease.
Many patients, DR.. Strecker said,
have shown amazing degrees of
improvement with the new treat
mentS.
Complete Insanity Doubted.
The indications are, he says. that
nobody is ever completely insane

covered from the remains OF the
ancient city Of Uruk. There are
found q few documents written on
clay, DR.. Speiser said. which are the
earliest known scientific records.
Real scholarship began to make its
appearance, DR.. Speiser said, as
Sumer was invaded by alien peoples
who took over the newly acquired
art of writing, but had to express
their own languages in the letter
symbols which the Sumerians had
invented This required the compila-
ton of clay dictionaries and even

Amazing Results
From Operations on
Insane Reported
Surgery Performed by
Two D. c. Physieions
Hailed at Conference
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ia
brain operation first performed in
the United States four years ago by
two Washington doctors is produc-
Ing some truly amazing results
with the hopelessly insane.
This was reported before the BIZ
centennial conference of the Univer-
- sity of Pennsylvania here today by
DR.. Edward A. Strecker of the uni
versity's medical school. He told of
holes in the brains Of eight
victims of the dreaded mind malady
schizophrenia, who had been Ill for
more than 10 years, who were es-
sentially unmanageable, and with
whom every other treatment had
failed.
The operation was first performed
by Drs. Walter Freeman and James
w. Watts of George Washington
University for states Of extreme
anxiety which did not actually cross
the borderline Of insanity.
Mental Material Salvaged.
The results with his own patients,
Dr.. Strecker said. were interesting
and sometimes truly amazing. Ag-
gressiveneSS, in some instances homi-
cidal in degree, disappeared. Men
tai material which one would have
believed irretrievably lost was ap-
parently salvaged by the operation
and was utilized by the patient in
re-establishing realignments with
life. Panic reactions due to hallu-
cinations were ended. The halluci-
nations continued. but a recall of
the patient to reality in some of the
eases was very easy, few simple
questions suficing.
One woman in her early 30's had
for two years prior to the operation
been SO irrational and violent that
she had to be fed with a stomach
tube. She refused to keep her cloth
Ing on and frequently flew into RACES.
A week after the operation she asked
to play bridge. She consented to
dress and take walks and was able
to carry on intelligent conversations
She still heard imaginary voices and
talked with the characters of her
dream world, but few words from
some one would quickly recall her to
the real world She is now occupy
ing much of her time with cultur-
ing"
What the Freeman Watts opera
tion actually accomplishes, DR..
Strecker believes, is to sever the con-
nections between hallucinations and
those sections of the brain where
they would serve as stimuli for ac-
ton.
In Terror Of Devil.
In one of the earliest Freeman
Watts cases a woman was in eX-
treme terror of the devil, who ap-
peared constantly in her hospital
room and threatened her with an
eternity in hell. The day after the
operation, the devil, she said, was
still standing over her bed and max

The agriculture department reported
that domestic supply conditions con-
tinue relatively favorable for the mar
keting Of the 1910 American wool crop.
Although imports in February and

surplus in this country at the begin
ming of the new season April 1 Is ex-
pected to be the smallest in recent
years.

extent the small carryover IS an exc

or In the gay nineties, or subsequent
gayer decades, never eQua1ed or sur

menu that was served Butte fans back
in 1908. Three world championship
boxing contests occurred in Butte IN
one week. They were recognized as
championship affairs-and were not
exhibitions. Titles were at stake.
though none of them changed hands.
All bouts were billed for 20 rounds.
Boxers and sports writers galore
flOcked TO Butte for that riOtOus week
Of battles. Three different athletic
clubs were sponsors Of the shows.
Dates, principals and sponsoring clubs

The managers finally realized that
three bouts in one day totaled two

too. They got together and arranged
