Jlinois Officers to Investigate
Stories of “Hike” to
Leon Springs.
General Funston has announce 1
’.hat Brig. Gen. D. Jack Foster com-
mander of the First Illinois brigade
will appoint a board of militia off!
cers to investigate the stories re-
cently written by the special corre-
spondents of Chicago newspapers re
garding the performance of the bri-
gade on its recent march to Leon
Springs. Military officials considci
some accounts of the condition o 1
the men to have been grossly exag-
gerated.
Admitting that the troops made a
poor showing on their first day'?
march and that a good many men
fell out of ranks officers say ther*
were no heat prostrations and ter-
rible suffering as pictured by two or
three of the Chicago writers. Tht
correspondents probably will be bar-
red from camp and prohibited from
accompanying troops on the march
if findings of the board are against
them.
Investigation of the articles in
question is in accordance with the
'policy announced by General Fun-
ston to discourage newspaper men
with state troops a’ong the border
from writing exaggerated and untrue
accounts of conditions by expelling
offenders from camp. In all cases
action will be based on the reports
of hoards of militia officers appoint-
ed to investigate stories apparently
not founded on fact.

Li TU THE
HIM CW
Injunction to Test Constitu-
tionality of Trial by
Commission.
IT COSTS MORE MONEY
Present Method Is Said to
Pile Up Costs for the
Taxpayers.
An injunction to restrain tho oper-
ation of the lunacy commission law
until its constitutionality is decided
by the Supremo Court vf TVxas
probably will be sued out in Bexar
county next week. Attorney C. M.
<’hamhers of Chambers A.- Watson
said his firm represents a client who
has expressed the determination to
stop tht» considerable expenditure
each week in this county made neces-
Fary by the law. Mr. Chambers said
in his opinion the entire law is un-
constitutional and that it has been
so held by several district judges
Only this week District Judge W. 8.
Anderson released an inmate of the
Southwestern Insane Asylum on ha-
beas corpus proceedings holding
that his commitment had been il-
legal.
A case is now pending before the
Suprenu' Court w hich is expected to
decide permanently whether the act
is constitutional. It reached the
highest court in the state from the
El Paso <’ourt of Civil Appeals the
law having been declared unconsti-
tutional by that court. District
fudges of Bexar county Harris coun-
ty anj Tarrant county also have
held the law invalid and it is to
»»revent the continued expenditures
in Bexar county that the injunction
suit is contemplated.
$309 Per Week.
The average cost of conducting
lunacy trials in Bexar county under
tl.e lunacy commission law is placed
at $3OO though not infrequently the
total for the week is much larger.
Vnder the old lunacy law. where
•.rials were held before a jury the
weekly cost did not averse more
than $lOO. Several of the county
commissioners have protested against
the sums that the county is
called <»n to pay but their protests
nave been valueless so long as the
lunacy commission law’s constitu-
tionality is a matter of doubt for
trials continue to be conducted un-
der its terms.
The principal difference between
the old law and the m w is the pro-
vision whereby insane persons are
tried by a commission of physicians
instead of a jury. It is this particu-
lar provision which lias been declar-
ed by district and appellate court
end is now pending in the Supreme
Court.
All decisions so far have held that
a person is entitled to a trial b> a
jury and not by a conunission and
the Supreme Court will be called on
to determine whether or not u com-
mission of six physicians constitut-
ing the luna< y board can be consid-
ered aa a jury of six.
Difference in the Cost.
Trial of each insane person un-
der tho lunacy commission law costs
Bexar county exactly $53. This sum
is made up as follows: Six phy-
mi ians nt ?.'• <a< h $3O. county
judges fee $3: county clerk's fee
$5; county nttorney's fee. $5; sher-
iff's fee $5; counsel for the insane
person. $5. Total. $53. To this must
I c added a clothing allowance the
authorities at the asylums positive-
ly refusing to re< < ive insane persons
;.nless they bring along the requisite
clothing. This < bulling in the case
of a man. costs the county $2B; in
the case of a woman $l5. The total
cost for each person adjudged insane
b\ the commission is thus brought
either to $Bl in the rase of a man or
$6B in the case of a woman. An
average of between three and five in-
>ane persons are tried each week b>
the commission.
Cnder the old lunacy trial law. the
alleged insane persons had a hear-
'ug before a jury of six men selected
a.< ordinary juries are chosen. These
jurors under the law received .•''
< er»ts for ser\ ing. and they heard and
i"t i-md a xtrdiet in as many in-
i ■ me trials as were pending for the
W. ck on the do<-ket. The total cost
of <a<h trial was between $lB ami
I <2O. by far the largest items coming
। fr<un e.iiirt < osts and otfieers fees
ri he clothing requirements demand-
< d b-. the asylums was about the
I same then as At present. The week-
i 1\ amount expended by the counlx
I under that law was seldom more
than $lOO per week.
it is to prevent continued expendi-
tures by th»* county which is said to
|be operating under an unconstitu-
tional law. that the injunction suit
likely will be brought next week.
MOSS FROM SCOTLAND
BANDAGE FOR WOUNDS
Hills Searched by Pickers
Who Send Large Quan-
tities to Hospitals.
(Associated Press < '< rrespondence. 1
GLASGOW The hills of Scotland
are dotted with moss pickers worn
en and bov scouts in search of an
added comfort lor tho wounded sol-
diers. According to the medical au-
thorities turf moss on account of
its elasticity and great properties
for sucking up liquids forms a most
useful dressing for open wounds. It
may also be used as padding for
splints.
After the moss is picked it is cov-
ered with absorbent cotton gauze a’
various Red i’mss depots and sent
off to headquarters in London. Every
day big packages arrive there tell-
ing silently of long days spent in al!
kinds of weather in search of the
moss. In many places working par-
ties of women who are not skilled
with their needle go out for the
day. coming ba< k in the dusk of
evening with great baskets full.
