PRACTICE LIBERTY 15 PLEA OF HUGHES Sees Menace to Local Self- Government in Modern Tendencies. By the Associated Press BOSTON, Mass., June 17.—The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill was observed here yesterday. More than 30,000 per- sons, in pageant and parade, por- trayed again the historic colonfal pe- riod. The day marked the one hun- dredth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the Bunker Hill Monument. Speaking at a_patriotic gathering in Old Faneuil Hall, Charles Evans Hughes, former Secretary of State, declared that had been “measurably in establish- ing a rule of issued a warning againsi s from in ternal destructivi the decline of patriotism, from bigotry and radi calism and from the overconfidence accompanying wealth and strength.

Navy nurses are subject jurlsdiction of a court-martial. They are not commissioned or en- listed—but they are of a special status which does not permit of considering them as civilians for offenses while on duty. . ‘This point apparently was establish- ed yesterday by the court-martial, sitting at the Washington Navy Yard, which tried Miss Ruth M. Anderson and Miss Katherine C. Glancy, mem- bers of the Navy Nurse Corps, on a charge of bringing intoxicating liquor into the United States in their_bag- gage when they returned from “duty at the naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba. The court overruled the point raised by Lieut. Leo P. Horan, counsel for the two women. that the case was be- yond its jurisdiction because of the Status of the women. Nurses Victorious. Otherwise the day's half-hearted proceeding resulted in a com- plete victory for the nurses. Both were found not guilty witness testified against them, J deputy customs inspector a who had examined their bag chen it was landed from the S. S. Kittery in_April and found the bottles, presumably containing in- toxicating lquids. Miss Anderson, the first of the ac- cused to face the court, testified that she didn’t have the slightest idea that a package, given her by a friend just before she left Cuba “to enjov later contained liquor. It did, however seven quarts of a varied assortment, to judge from the bottles produced by Boone. Miss Anderson said she had been called home suddenly by news of the illness of her mother just receiving the ‘present,” had packed it hurriedly into a cedar chest, and had no further idea of its con- tents until she learned of the charges against her. The court-martial quickly returned a verdict of not guilty. Character Good. Miss K. Beatrice Bowm tendent of the Navy Nurse Corps, testified that Miss Anderson was woman of splendid character and excellent nurse, whose record was without blemish. The case of Miss Glancy proached from a different angle, and the defendant was not called to ac- count for the bottles in her baggage. Lieut. Horan obtained from Boone an admission that he could not say post- tively that the chest in which the bottles were found came off the Kit- tery, although such a chest was listed on the ship’s manifest and he had no reason to doubt it was the one he examined. Having failed in his attack on the jurisdiction of the court in behalf of Miss Glancy, Lieut. Horan rested his rase on the point. . . i superin. was ap- Only the corked bottles—five them—marked “Halg & Haig,” been produced as exhibits. Judge Requests Uncorking.

The court insisted, maintaining that it could not tell the difference be- tween weak tea and whisky merely by the labels on the bottles. Upon First Lieut. Andrew Gordon, judge advocate, fell the duty of open- ing one of the bottles. It proved a hard and embarrassing job for the burly marine officer, to whom, it was apparent, the duty of prosecuting the women was not the most pleasant in the world. While the spectators, about a dozen reporters, roared with laughter broad smiles lit up the dignified of the naval officers on the court martial, Gordon struggled with the recalcitrant bottle. In vain he called for a corkscrew.. There wasn’t one in the room. He borrowed pocketknives. He thumped and pounded on the bottom of the bottle. The cork stuck with the stubbornness of an aching tooth.

He admitted, however, that he couldn’t swear that whisky was whisky merely from the smell. Among the newspaper men present there were some who vociferously volunteered to be sworn as witnesses, declaring their capacity to qualify as experts on the identity of whisky from taste alone, especially when there was a whole quart of material avallable for repeated tests to con- firm any opinion which might be formed hastily with the first gulp. Their offers were ignored. Members of the court-martial cast hungry eyes upon the bottle, but due to their official position were unable to assume the status of witnesses. This ended the case. Miss Bowman had testified that Miss Glancy's rec- ord as excellent for character and service, especially at the Guantanamo base, where exceptional duties had been thrust upon her as a ploneer in the establishment of a hospital. Her acquittal followed a few min- utes of executive session. The case was concluded with a reasonable pos- sibility of doubt as to whether the bottles contained anything intoxicat- ing, or just weak tea. As for the gin bottle found in Miss Anderson’s chest —there is a possibility that it con- tained only water. The disposition to be made of the evidence remained in doubt at the conclusion of the trial MRS. J. P. MORGAN ILL. GLEN COVE, N. Y., June 18 (®).— Mrs. J. P.
