On Monday, July 13, Correspondent Shepherd and I were again summoned before the| naval court of inquiry, Capt. Grant, president, aboard the battleship Texas. Capt. Weeks, the AMER- ICAN CENSOR at Vera Cruz, was also summoned. , Weeks was called upon to read copies of the news stories on the first day’s session of the court which Correspondent Shepherd sent to the United Press and I sent to the Newspaper Enterprise association by cable. Weeks said that Gen. Funston had ordered him, the censor, to let our dispatches pass. The court then told us that we were in contempt of the navy court for sending these dispatches, because we had been ordered not to discuss the testimony. The court told us that it could sentence us to TWO MONTHS’ IMPRISONMENT for the said contempt. However, we were informed that this one. offense would be passed, but we were warned not to repeat it. nothing fair about it. in the United States. We made up our minds that we would carry the matter to the tribunal of public | opinion at home by having that NAVAL COURT'S RECORD UNVEILED after it reached Washington. | To that end Correspondent Shepherd demanded of the court that all questions and answers go into the) record. | Commander Day angrily interrupted with the remark: | dictate to this court.” ___ Thus stirred up, the president of the court, Capt. Grant, said: “I’m running this court. dictate to me. I'll put what I like into the record and keep out what I please.” Then the three judges fell to quarreling among themselves as to procedure, what they should do next. It was clearly a case of being up in the air over Shepherd’s demand. Finally Capt. Grant ordered th court cleared and the incident closed for the day. ap “ FPHE next afternoon | was summoned for dhe daeh: tities The court said that the testimony was all in and ise to me. 1 HAD BEEN EXCL FROM HEARING ANY OF THE TESTI- Harry Whitney Treat, million-|that's been pinched off and on cel aire owner of heaven and earth in| violating traffic ordinances.” Van the district out near Golden Gar-| Ruff added, rubbing his chin and Ole Hanson this afternoon filed with the secretary of state at Olympia his candidacy for the dens, is terribly nervous today. | gazing at the celling ruminatively.| United States senate on the pro- More, he fs alarmed. | Hughes squirmed, He was ar-| gressive ticket He was arrested, you remember, | rested some time ago for failing to for speeding by Police Sergeant|have the tail light of his auto Alvey, who says Treat was going | burning. m tired of hearing this person (Shepherd) You can’t WAS present during I success, for when to the court “I want that Hanson, though known through-} 40 miles an hour. j out the state for his effective cam Today Treat’s attorney, Howard . |paign work fn many political bat-/ Hughes left, saying he'd have @/ ties never ran for a public office!
