Later he had found out about the relations existing between them and e had told Mr. Gracey to kecep away, to which the latter had replied that he would go there as long as she lived there.

SECRETARY GARRISON LEAVES QUESTION TO COURT Whether or Not to Hold Koehier Court Martial Behind Closed Doors. Washington, Feb. 27.—Secretary @arrison today revoked his order of Festerday directing that the public be admitted to the trial of Major Benja- min M. Koehler, charged with im- moral conduct, now in progress at Fort Terry, Plum Island, N. Y. Whether the t shall proceed behind closed doors left to the discretion of the court, The secretary's action today was taken upon the court's request for fur- ther instructions in view of Major Koehler's request that in his Interest the action of the secretary of war be reconsidered. In directing the court to use its discretion in ruling on Major Koehler's motion, Mr. Garrison tonight gent this message to Lieutenant Col- nel W. G. Haan, chief of swff to ajor General Thomas H. Barry, com- manding the eastern department, Gov- ernor's Island, N, Y.: “In response to court's request for instructions, my attitude is as follows: Having been informed that the con- vening authority had ordered trial in private, I directed the trial be public, for the purpose of vacating the order for private trial and not for purpose of controlling the discretion of the court in passing upon any motion of the accused requesting the exclusion of spectators. With respect to this, ! the court should act as its own dis- cretion leads it, to act after careful consideration, bearing in mind that unless the administration of justice would be furthered by the exclusion of spectators, courts martial should be sublic.” Secretary Garrison’s original order @ General Barry to open the doors 6f the court was as follows: “While 1 sympathize with your de- pre that the unpleasant details which will necessarily be disclosed in con- nection with the trial of Major Koeh- Jer be not made public, I am con- vinced that such considerations do not weigh against the undesirable at- titude of holding the sessions of the trial in private. The newspapers must be guided by their own sénse of de- | rency as to what is proper ta publish gnd it is not our business to act as their guardians in this respect. I am p firm believer that the administra- tion of justice should be open and in sight of the people, and I have never favored trials so not open to the pub- lic. So much less harm fs done to what is essential by having justice administered in plain sight than arises out of a contrary course. I therefore direct that the trial of Major Xoehler be open {o the public.” BIRTVHDAY ANNIVERSARY Celebrated With Whist Party by Wil- liam M. McCord, On Friday evening William M.

Friday noon at the Hopkins & Allen Arms company under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A, the Rev. Edward S. Worcester addressed a large gathering of eager listeners. Before the address several selections were played on the Victrola. Tiae speaker's subject was Becoming Unanimous. In part he said: Have any of you men been on a jury? Whether you have or not, I am sure you all know that no verdict can be glven uniess the 12 men who hear the testimony and pleas can agree. The individual has several moods which complexes the mind quite a good deal. These differsnt parts go to make up, as it were, the jury in one's life. One inclination may lead to do the right thing, while another suggests the wrong; oftentimes we become perplex- ed because the various inclinations do not agree. We are offen apt to tire of hearing some people say you should yield yourself absolutely to God, sur- render_yourself, and go where He leads you. But after all is not this the right and proper thing to do, for unless You trust God in everything you do not really trust Him at all? What God expects men is that you will serve Him and trust Him. The address made a deep impression on the minds of the men. The meeting closed with a selection on the Victrola. NEWSIES AT Y. M, C. A.
