THE MILITARY Interfere With Trials by Regular Court - Martial —_——— MINOR RECRUITS Boys Who Swear That They Are Eighteen Years Old Must Remain in Service HELD Minors who enlist in the army and navy without consent of their parents or guardians may not hereafter be res- | cued from the service merely by asking for a writ of habeas corpus because of their ‘minority at the time of enlist- ment. The military apthorities have be- | come tired of releasing young recruits all the way from 18 to 22 years of age | on the ground that they were under 18 vears of age, and have inaugurated the | system of prosecuting such recruits for | fraudulent enlistment. A few days ago, when United States District Judge de Haven issued a writ of habeas corpus to show cause why Charles E. Scott, a young recruit of the Marine Corps at Yerba Buena Island, should not be released because he had enlisted under age without the consent | of parent or guardian, the military au- | | thorities put in the plea that young Scott had been charged with enlisting fraudulently and was in their hands awziting trial by court-martial. Judge de Haven dismissed the writ and held that Scott was in lawful custody that the court could not interfere. Scott’s father thereupon appealed to the United States Circuit Céurt of Ap- peals and asked that Judge de Haven's ruling should be reversed. The appeal Judges handed down a decision yester- day to the effect that Judge de Haven's ruling was correct. The decision is a new one. The following are the more important excerpts: It is settled law | minor in the army or | consent of h but voidable minor, but parent or on habeas o and enlistment of a vithout the written parents or guardian is not void, that it is good as to the voidable at the the | not, ha: the un—seru ke | has Deen any { charge co does not follow ment is vol ohtah" immun fense from the fact that e that an en from_prose: by him a | coun martia will ‘not be Ror will its judg- ment be vol 1 courts. This decision will save the military | department from much trouble and an- noyance. It is not their desire to be harsh with the young recruits, but it is | expected that parents and guardians [ will consent to the warlike young { Americans serving their time as good soldlers rather than have them work | {'with a ball and chain as military pris- [ omers. | VICTIM POSITIVELY \ IDENTIFIES SMITH | Prisoner Booked on Charge| of Robbing Mrs. Lena | Wilson. John Smith, ex-convict, who brutally { beat and robbed Mrs. Lena Wilson, was {taken to her residence, at 418 Genesee | street, Sunnyside, yesterday by De[eclhes] Graham and Harrison, and she at once | | identified him as her assailant. She had | previously identified a phetograph of| | Smith taken from the rogues’ gallery. | ‘Tvm boys, George Delantoni, 730 Joosl; avenue, and Charles North, 421 Genesee | street, also identified Smith as a man| | they saw leaying Mrs. Wilson's house at | | the time of ‘the robbery. Smith was | booked at the City Prison yesterday aft- | ernoon on a charge of robbery. Mrs. Wilson was alone in her house on the afternoon of February 9, when Smit | entered and demanded money from her. ‘She showed him where he could find $2; | ana after taking the money he grabbed her by the throat and beat her cruelly | on the face, demanding more money. Then | she told him where he could find a $5 gold piece, and after getting it he continued to beat and choke her. He would probably | have killed her if he had not been fright- | ened away by the approach of a rig. He | was arrested on February 15 by Detectives | Graham and Harrison on Washington street, after he had pawned a silver ladle. | He had in his pockets seven sets of silver | forks, which he had evidently stolen. No owner has been found for them. e et = Lectures Before Camera Club. Another instructive lecture was gi\en last night at Native Sons’ Hall ’under the auspices of the California | Club. Rev. George T. Meeker was the speaker, and his subject, “The Van- | couver Pinnacles of San Benito County.” The lecture was illustrated by a series of beautiful views. A large audience enjoyed the address. e Eppinger Cases Continued. | The cases of Herman, Jacob and Josua Eppinger and James Demings | were called in Judge Lawlor's court ‘ygsterday and continued till next Mon- day.
