DANNY DEEVER’ OF STH MARINES MAY BE FREED Clarence L. Massey, Held as Slayer of Sergeant, Thought Innocent. MOTHER WANTS HIM Special to Indians Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The “Danny Deerer” of the famous Bth Marines, Clarence L. Massey of Monongahella City, Pa., will bo released from Ft. Leavenworth Military Prison, If efforts of Congressman Kelly (Pa.) and other officials here are successful. Massey was courtmartialed for killing a sergeant In France. He has 6erved nearly four years of a life sentence. His friends believe him innocent. They say evidence in his trial was Incomplete. A widowed, dependent mother Is praying Mr. Kelley will be able to obtain recommendation for bis pardon. The case was brought to the attention of Congressman Kelly several months ago. War Department officials advised him to get affidavits from officers and comrades of Massey before requesting reopening of the case. Those affidavits are ready. They were obtained from Massey's captain, his lieutenant, a s;rgeant and a number of his “buddies.” They bear eloquent testimony of his good character and some express a doubt he was the murderer. OX DITTY FOB FORTY-FIYE DATS. Mr. Kelly has gone over the records of the court-martial carefully. He says the evidence brought out substantially the following narrative: Massey bad been on continuous duty la the front line trenches for forty-five days. He was back of the lines with several friends. They were hungry—too hungry to wait for mess. They decided to eat In a little French restaurant nearby. The wine they drank with their meal was unexpectedly potent. They were rather hilarious when they returned to barracks. . hough there was no real disorder, iliey vent to bed, lights were out, but guod-nr.tured banter still passed between the bunks. A Bergeant ordered them to “shut up.” It was agreed he was not a very popular sergeant with any of the men. But there was temporary quiet. When the talk started again he could be heard coming toward them. There was the flash of a revolver in the darkness. The lights were lit. The sergeant was dying on the floor. Massey was arrested. CCS CLEAN after shot. On one point Mr. Kelly Is certain. Evidence was presented to show Massey's revolver was clean—not a bullet had been fired from it when It was seized. But other testimony was damntngly circumstantial and the boy was sentenced. Some of bis “buddies" openly expressed the opinion he bad simply been made the goat. “goat.” oned much longer, Mr. Kelly believes, the life sentence will be short, after all. Mrs. Mary A. Massty, too. Is very 111. She needs her son.

NEW YORK, March 7. —Apropos the recent collapse of many Wall Street bucket shops—there Is no need to put an "alleged” before the “bucket shop” designation applied to any brokerage house that falls In a rising stock market—a school has been opened for the 200 pages employed by the New York Stock Exchange. It has been named the New York Stock Exchange Institute, and it Is conducted by the Wall Street division of the New York University at 90 Trinity place. “We are giving to these boys from the big exchanges work which has a special bearing on the work they are doing,” explained Dean A. Wellington Taylor. “They frequently have occasion to-write out orders for buying or selling stocks and bonds that come In over the telephone. Accordingly we have emphasized penmanship in connection with the class In business English. “We also explain to the boys In simple terms the functions of Wall Street, and the need of an organized market. The boys, accustomed to seeing the exchange as a place where men shout themselves hoarse and full of apparent confusion, are taught the laws governing the seeming confusion.” Boys who take the course are to be given the best chances for promotion.

His grandfather on his mother's side was the consul of Denmark and of Spain to the British Bahamas. He was well educated and of polished manners and be spoke many languages.

Mayor Hylan thinks exercise is a good thing, particularly for city employes, “who have crawled so far Into dark corners and pigeon holes” as to have lost sight of the fact that recreation is “indispensable to happiness and progress and as necessary to life as food and drink.” He Is out with a proclamation to the SO,OOO employes of the city calling upon them to engage in sport of some kind.

CHILDREN LOSE FEET BY FREEZING Amputations Reported Not Uncommon in Armenia. Every mail and cablegram seems to tell of worse conditions among the homeless children of Armenia, according to State headquarters of Near East Relief, 403 City Trust building. Amputation of the feet of children, due to frozen feet—orphans who have no protection -from the cold—is told of In a letter Just received. “This new problem in our work is tho result of no shoes and prolonged wan dering la a very high altitude,” says the writer. “I dread to think of those frozen feet, for to some of these children it means gangrene and amputations. Today a hundred hungry, shivering and almost naked youngsters were at our door. They were a sorry looking lot. Most of them landed in our hospital, I contrast this with what took place Thanksgiving day. As we were at breakfast our attention was attracted by the noise of many voices. Prolonged cheers straight from the hearts of a thousand children from our orphanage school greeted us. A great chorus of young voices broke forth In the singing of our beloved ‘America.’ Some English speaking school teacher had taught them the tune and the words. "How much that would have meant to the thinking people of the United States could the Armenian environment have been theirs for a day.” State headquarters announces thnt one prominent Indianapolis professional man has given SI,OOO for orphan relief in the last year.

RURAL PLACES IN GREAT NEED GF MEDICAL MEN Cities Overcrowded With Doctors While Country Suffers. CHICAGO, March 7.—Producing more “Doc Kennicots for America’s main streets” was declared to be the biggest problem facing the National Congress on Medtcan Education meeting here today. “We have come to a place In our development where only the second-rate physicians are willing to practice in the country,” Dr. J. L. Litzenberg of the Minnesota Medical School asserted. “The rural communities of the United States are facing a serious shortage of competent physicians,” he said. “This convention would do well to start a ‘back to the farm’ movement for doctors, “Part of the blame for this situation must be laid at the door of small thowns themselves and part to the physicians who are unwilling to give up the superficial advantages of city life. "American cities are overstocked with medical men who would be of greater service to society in rural places, but who are unwilling to make the effort of breaking into small town ways.” ’ I)r. Litzenberg pointed to Army physical examinations as evidence that country folk are not as healthy as city folk. “The old theory,” he said, “that rural life Invariably made strong bodies was, thoroughly exploded when we begun to select men for the Army. We learned that the city lads In the main, were the sturdier.” This fact he said was the result of better medical attention in larger cities. SHOULD A MAX TELL?

WASHINGTON, March 7—American organizers of the General Air Service, the company which proposes to operate a fleet of lighter-thnn-air type of craft between New York and Chicago, do not believe the recent decision of the Council oi Ambassadors and the Aeronautical Committee on Control Operating In Germany, will affect their plans. The council, according to advices from Berlin, Is determined that Germany shall not continue to build large dirigibles, which Intended for commercial purposes might be turned to military uses. The council believes It dangerous to permit the maintenance of an aircraft Industry In Germany. “The decision of the council and the apparent Intention of the Allies to prevent the Germans from building airships will not Interfere with the plans of General Air Service,” said Clifford A. Tinker, former Navy air officer, who Is connected with the company, “the General Air Service does not expect to build airships In Germany. The ships would be built In the United States and the arrangements which have been made abroad for certain parts and material I do not believe would upset.” Lieutenant Tinker also said that action of the council will have absolutely no effect on the work of the Zeppelin which Oermany, under the terms of the reparations provisions of the Versailles Treaty is building for the Navy.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Lodger Company.
