MAJ CATRON FACES COURTMARTIAL
CAMP HARRIS, MACON, Oct. 12.
Major Isaac T. Catron, of Atlanta,
commanding the First Battallion of
the Fifth Infantry, has been confined
to regimental camp without restraint,
by drder of Colonel Orville Hall,
pending consideration of possible
charges before a military court.
The confinement is the outgrowth
of the charge made by the major
that Colonel Hall exerted an influ
ence which elected Captain R. M.
Beck lieutenant colonel of the com
mand, it is generally belleved.
Neither Colone! Hall, Major Ca
tron nor brigade officers would make
any statement in regard to the cause.
Colenel Hall admits that Major Ca
tron is confined upon his orders. Fur
tier than that he refuses to talk.
Tt is strictly a military matter, and
ean not be thrashed out through the
newspapers,” he said. He would not
say whether a trial of the maljor
would follow or not. When asked if
he were confined to camp, Major Ca
tron sald he was not in a position
either to admit or deny it. Further
questioning was fruitless.
Officers of the brigade announce
that the day report from the Tifth
shove That the major, {e under re
straint, but that no cause was given.
“Tt's just internal trouble in the
Tifth,” they said, “and nothing defi
nite ts known of it here.”
Major Catron was first absent from
¥is command at dress parade Wed -
nesday afternoon when the battalion
was commanded by Captain Homer J.
Weaver, It is believed here by offi
cers of the Fifth that no direct
charges have been made against the
officer as yet
Captain Beck, & Umtfl;]{fitn(eg offi
cer, stationed in Camp arris as ju
nior mustering officer, was elected
Jieutenant colonel of the command
over the head of the three majors of
the Fifth, who were all candidates.
The commissioning of Captain Beck
by Governor Harris was held up for a
time upon {nformation from officers
of the Fifth that Colonel Hall had in
terfered in the election.
Colonel Hall is a native of Vermont,
and has been in the Uational Guard
of Georgia for twelve and one-half
years.
MaJjor Catron is a Kentuckian, who
has seen fifteen years’ military serv
ice. He has been a majer in the Fifth
for the last nine years.

From ‘Black Hand’
| NEW YORK; Oct. 12—When the
trial of Michael Arofrano, former city
official, charged with instigating the
murder of Michael Gaimari, “Bi"
Tom” Foley's political lieutenant, was
resumed today the courtroom was
heavily guarded by police.
A ‘“black hand” death sign, sig
naled by a spectator in the rear of
the courtroom, it was learned early
tcday, brought to an abrupt close
yesterday afternoon the testimony of
Joseph LaSalle, a convicted slayer,
sgerving a twenty-year term in Sing
Sing. LaSalle feigned sudden illness
when he saw the sign. Not until the
police had promised to accord careful
protection to his family did the con
vict agree to continue to testify to
day.

For !nstance:
When Namur fell before the
German attack the English people
were not allowed to know of it
The International News Service
published it in the Hearst and
other papers 24 hours before any
other paper published it—and the
news flltered back to England.
On October §, two years ago,
the International News Service
stated definitely—the statement
being based upon accurate infor

fall within a week.” Three days
later the Germans took the city.
The English did not like that.
It offends them to have anybody
think that England can fail,
This was particularly offensive
to England, because its policy at
that time was, “Let the French

talk.”

By FRANK G. MENKE,
Sporting Editor of the International News Service.
BRAVES FIELD, BOSTON, Oct. 12.—The multitude that sat
in this afternoon for the fifth tussie between the Red Sox and
Dodgers surely looked like a record-smasher in size. The immense
stands—every one of them—were packed to capacity, and hundreds
stood in the center field bull pen.
It looked like 44,000 at least, against the old record of 42,300.
The bleacher seats were packed at noon. This was Columbus
Day—a legal holiday in Boston—and the natives had no business
afflictions to keep them away. The reserved seat holders were late
in-arriving. =

A chilly wind swept across the
field and finally forced the
crowd to jump up and stamp its
feet to assist cirenlation.
Realizing that victory this after
noon would mean another world's
championship and the big share of
the money for them, the Sox were
practicing with a dash and vim. They
meagsto “sew” up the flag as quick
ly as possible. Odds were 2 to 1 that
they would turn the trick were of
fered at game time.
The Dodgers, on the other hand,
seemed downcast. They went at thelr
practice work in a half-hearted sort
of way and acted like men do who
are facing certain defeat.
If the Sox win the series each man
will get $3,759.08 as his share, while
each Dodger, in case they are beaten,
each will get $2,506,04.
