SOLDIER DIES; TWO OFFICERS
FACING TRIAL
Court-martial Is Ordered
Followins Investigation of
Gimp Conditions.
WASHINGTON. March 3. Major
Phillip B. Connelly. 'medical corp, TI
S. A., of New York City, and Walter H. KirkDatrick. medical corps, Na
tional Guard, Haven, Kas., face trial
by court-martial aa a result of aa la
vestlgatlon of hospital conditions at Camp Boniphan, Okla., prompted by
the death there of Private Albert Meat
wood of Liberal. Kas. Hestwood suc
cumbed to spinal meningitis.
The court-martial was ordered yesterday by Secretary Baker after the
report of the investigating officers bad
been received.
Public notice was attracted to Camp conditions when Senator Chamberlain,
during the course of a speech m the senate read a letter written by Private Hestwood's father to a friend. The letter told of unclean hospital condi
tions and of having his son's body sent
home wrapped In sheets.
Senator Chamberlain refused to give
the name of the soldier but the war
department later learned It by inquiry
it set afoot.
The report admits that the body was shipped home wrapped in sheets
but says that spinal meningitis "being
a communicable disease, that the body
was wrapped in sheets and cotton to
conform to the shipping laws."
The report also states that the fa
ther's charges were substantially cor
rect and that there was an Insufficient
supply of bed linen and of experienced
attendants and that patients went for long periods without a bath or without
even having their hands and faces washed. The investigation holds Major Con
nelly responsible for hospital condi"nothing short of deplorable." Lieut.
Klrkpatrick was the first medical officer to examine Private Hestwood and is charged with having sent the soldier to the hospital without making known the fact that he suspected Hpinal meningitis.

RETURN FROM CONVENTION
Superintendent Giles, County Superintendent and Mrs. C. O. Williams returned Saturday from Atlantic City, (where they attended the National confventlon of 3,000 superintendents.
TORONTO, Ont., March 2. William Bryan was refused a hearing when
he appeared at Massey Hall here last night to address a prohibition meeting under auspices of the Dominion Alliance. Returned soldiers caused the
Ldisturbance by shouting various epi
thets. "What about the Lisitama?" was demanded in chorus.
The first disturbance came before
Mr. Bryan's entry, when the chairman
told the audience they were to be honored by listening to the fraternal delegate of the Anti-Saloon league of America, "one of the foremost citizens of our ally."
The chairman refrained from men
tioning Mr. Bryan's name as long as he could, but when it came out at last it was greeted by a chorus of cat calls and cries, "We don't want him." The chairman appealed to the audience. It was not a good thing for the city they were doing, he said, and "a bad thing for the cause we represent." '
Then Mr. Bryan came in and pande
monium broke loose. Most of the audience stood up, waved handkerchiefs and cheered him, but the answering
hoots from the gallery outlasted the cheers. For five minutes Mr. Bryan tried to make himself heard, but it was no use. The interruption kept right on and the interruptors sang "Rule Britannia," forcing the audience to join in, and then "God Save the King." They inquired about the Lusitania and sang "Over There" and "We Won't Go
Home Until Morning." Men stood up and shook their fists at the American secretary of state. Soldiers showed the service button on their coats and shouted defiance at those who pleaded for a hearing for the visitor. Enthusiastic prohibitionists who wished to hear Mr. Bryan, hurled across the hall counter calls of "Put them out" and "Where's your fair play?" The chairman was heard to say something about ejecting the interruptors. He was greeted with cries
of "Whose going to do it?" Mr. Bryan took his seat. John H
Roberts of Montreal made an attempt to speak, but was told to "Get the khaki on." Then a man of the army
medical corps dressed in uniform was hoisted on the platform. "Boys, they are fighting for freedom at the front; they are also fighting for freedom of thought. Why should we interrupt the meeting?" He appealed to the gallery. The appeal was in vain. "God Save the King" was sung again and the soldiers in the gallery shouted, "Take Bryan out and we'll walk out. We'll let any man speak, but not a pro-Ger
man.
Tries Again In Vain. After the band had played another
air Mr. Bryan made a brief, but futile attempt to make himself heard. Then he took a chair to the edge of the platform and talked to the reporters, the noise never ceasing for an instant.
I am here by invitation," said Mr.
Bryan. "I come as the representative
of 25,000.000 of. the American neonl
who have banded themselves .togeth
er in various organizations for the
promotion of prohibition. I have
spoken in one hall tonight before an audience that gave me not only respectful, but enthusiastic attention.
I find that less than 5 nercent
probably more nearly less than 2 percent of this audience refuses to allow the rest of the audience to hear me speak. Ordinarily those who interrupt a meeting are put out because they refuse an overwhelming majority the
usiii io near, in mis case I am not willing that force should be used to
eject the men from the hall. I would rather that the meeting should break up.
My patriotism is satisfactory toi
the President of the United States; it is satisfactory to the Cabinet of the United States; it is satisfactory to the Congress of the United States. There is not one single person in the United States who can say that one drop of blood in "my veins is not loyal to my country."

POTATO PRICES SLATED TO FALL
Many bushels of potatoes, which have been held by farmers in the county for higher prices, are expected to be placed on the market within a short time, and it is expected that the prices will be cut. Commission merchants aYe blaming the farmers for the price of potatoes, and state that they are able to ship potatoes here from Michigan and sell them cheaper than if they buy the same kind of potatoes from Wayne county farmers. One merchant said that farmers had been holding their potatoes this winter in the hopes of reaching a $3 a bushel mark.
