It was testified that while serving over- seas May had been shell-shocked, and during his confinement in a hos- pital had taken drugs to alleviate his and mental suffering. Because Maynard had taken drugs which finally Jed to imjury of his health, the war risk insurance denies the right of com- pensation. Maynard was discharged at Camp Devens, Miss, March 26, 1919. Since that time, he has been a patient at various hospifils in New York and Virginia waiting, to hear of his insur- ance .satus.

Penniless, he refused to leave the Mount Aito Hospital, and since that time has been charged with making threats and destroying property. Upon being asked by Assistant United States Attorney Ralph Given, in court today, whether he intended doiag anybody any harm, he replied: “I haven't the moral courage to do it 1f I did I would kill myself.” ard’s case was held over, await- ing further investigation. He is at present confined at the Washington Asylum Hospital. “# Robert L Miller, attorney for the de- | fénse, stated that he was judge advo- cate general of the Army and Navy Unlon, and would take up the matter $mmediately, to see if something could be done for a man who had served his country, became ill through its serv- 4ce and was denied help. —_— UNSIGNED NOTE HINTS GIBBONEY STILL LIVES Former Attorney for Bergdoll, Draft Dodger, Was Reported Drowned Recently. uggestions that D.

WOULD TAKE IN ALIENS ON PERCENTAGE BASIS Senate Committee Votes Down House Bill to Stop Immigration for a Year. The House immigration bill, which would have virtually stopped fmmi- gration for one year, was disapproved today by the Senate immigration com- mittee by a vote of 5 to 4. The com- mittee agreed to adopt a substitute measure tomorrow restricting immi- gration on a percentage basis. Senator Colt, Rhode Island, chairman of the committee, said the substitute would “allay all fears of a flood of un- desirable aliens from Europe” and that “he would push it for enactment by the present session of Congress. Senator Colt is said to have practi- cally drafted the substitute, taking the Dillingham bill as the basis. Demo- cratic members, although favoring the strict prohibition, indicated a willing- ness to support the substitute. Senator Colt said the substitute fixed a maximum on the number of aliens from any country as a check against any possible “flood” which would admissible for one or two years. The time clause will be definitely decided upon tomorrow. - As tentatively drafted the substi- tute measure provides in section 2 that “the number of aliens of any na- tionality who may be admitted to the United States in any fiscal year shall be limited to 5 per cent of the number of persons of such nationality resi. dent in the United States, as deter- mined by the United census next pre- ceding.” SAYS FRANCE AFTER RUHR.

Plans for bringing an American “unknown” soldier from France for ceremonial interment in Arlington National cemetery have been sug- gested by Secretary Baker of the War Department to chairman of the con- gressional military committee. Baker said he concurred in the plan for burial of the unknown hero in Arlington. Referring to Secretary Danlels’ plan to transport the body on Ad- miral Dewey’s former flagship, the Olympia, Mr. Baker wrote that the Navy planned to have naval vessels meet the Olympia as an escort. From Europe the body would be escorted by a guard of non-commissioned officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. A reception in New York for the Olympia was also suggested by Mr. Baker. A special train from New York to Washingotn, with military and civillan escort and a military funeral ceremony here were pro- be| posed, with representatives attending from the government department, the states and veterans of American wars. The plans, Secretary Baker said, call for the use of about 7,500 sallors. soldiers and marines, with 500 adaffi tional men from Army and Navy di- visions which served in France. Military honors for a general were suggested by Mr. Baker. The cost of the entire project, Mr. Baker said, was estimated at $187,000. YOUNG MAN HELD HERE. Charles Clayton Walker, twenty- three years old, giving his address as Petersburg, Va., and Gladys Eliza- beth Plott, fifteen years old, whose home is in Wilmington, N. C.,, were arrested in this city yesterday aft- erngan by Detectives Davis and Wal- dorf. A message from the United States marshal in Wilmington requested the local police to hold the man, giving the information that he held a war- rant for him and would come for him. Walker said he thought the warrant probably charged him with whisky running. ‘The young man said he had shipped on a coast steamer under the name of James Newkirk and gave the de- tectives his shipping card. It is probable that the girl will be taken home when an officer comes for Walker. OKLAHOMA TOWN GROWS.
