In the first adjudication of the present articles of war, adopted by Congress August 29, 1916. Federal Judge Thomas Ives Chatfield today handed down an opinion sustaining the contention of Assistant Federal Prosecutor H. Harvey Harwood, that Col. Harry J. Hirsch of the Regular Army, indicted for conspiracy in the Rosenwasser fraud case, must trial in the civil courts and sedo stand, cure the privilege of court martial.

Judge Chattield's decision holds that the articles of war do not give to the military courts sole jurisdiction over men in service accused of crime. The decision is interesting in vew of the effort by District Attorney Harry E. Lewis, when the war started, to get some sort of ruling on the question, which bobbed up every day in the magistrates' courts. The decision also holds that the Government does not want to create double jeopardy or confusion by interfering with civil action against men in service. Hirsch has been in the Army thirtyone years and is a West Point ate.

He was arrested at Washington, where he was serving in the Quartermaster's Department. He lives in Yonkers, N. and is married. The decision in part reads: We find that under the previous articles of war concurrent jurisdiction was given to the civil courts and to the courts-martial to deal with any offender who happened to be at the time within the court's jurisdiction. Under this law both courts-martial and civil courts necessarily respected the jurisdiction exercised by the other, and the court first apprehending the defendant was thus to proceed with a trial without reference to the concurrent jurisdiction of the other.

In the same way double jeopardy was avoided. Each statute was therefore valid and constitutional rights were entirely preserved." After citing instances in which this construction was upheld the decision states that new sections added to the present Articles of War necessitate interpretation by the court. The decisexplains "all times and places" was inserted to extend jurisdiction outside this country and over its armies on foreign soil. The decision further states that the Articles of War clearly intend no usurpation of the powers of the civil court and direct that persons in conterept of "in count United States shall be District punCourt." The decision states that the Articles of War clearly makes it discretionary with the Army authorities whether or not a man shall be tried by courtmartial and further points out that in this case the Army did not question the right of the local court to try the case.

C. A. work for the Russian soldiers, is speaking three times a day in various parts of Brooklyn in behalf of the United War Work Campaign. Yesterday Mr. Davis spoke at the Bushwick High School, at noon today at Borough Hall, and on Friday evening he will speak at the Eighth Avenue Temple.

The subject of his talks is the condition obtaining throughout Russia today and the need for support of the war work done there. There are thousands of American soldiers in Archangel and in Murmansk, declares Mr. Davis, and they cannot get back for some time to come. The same thing is true of parts of The two first named places are sO far North, he says, that for three months at a stretch they have no sunlight. For recreation and comfort the men stationed there must depend entirely upon the good offices of the war work organizations.

Mr. Davis is from Oberlin, Ohio. Greenpoint Adds $2,000 More.

LINK WILL BE TAKEN UP AT ONCE- RIEGELMANN Fixes Hearing 1 for Next Monday.

Plans Action on Other Big Brooklyn Matters. Borough President Riegelmann was asked what he was doing about today five big Brooklyn matters. In a nutshell, here are the questions and answers: What are you doing about the 1. connection of the Fulton st. proposed elevated line with the subway at Ashland 2.

What about the Adams street relocation plan? Answer. "With the ending of the war on Monday we immediately ed work upon a public improvement program. The Ashland place matter is at the head of the list. It is an alternative route to the Adams street relocation plan. propose to sound sentiment for purpose of ascerTine' taining which 1S the more desirable route and with this end in view, Monday at 11 o'clock has been fixed as a time for a hearing upon the a matter before me at Borough Hall, a and 110- tices were In course of preparation early yesterday morning." 3.

What are you doing about the re-establishment of the Barren Island nuisance? Answer. "I have marked time for the last few days awaiting the result of the consideration of the matter by the Board of Aldermen. That meet18 too soon determine my next ing ended at too o'clock last night. It Are you with the progress of the satisfied. into the Brighton line accident? Answer.

"It 1S proceeding very well." 5. What about the Marginal Railroad? Answer. "I am making arrangements for a conference with Regional Director of Railroads A. H. Smith at which I propose to take up in person and press the plan for the construction and operation of this system." Borough President Riegelmann today answered the statement of the Public Service Commission, charging that the Ashland place matter had lain dormant in his hands since early 11: the year and that if it had gone through the Public Service Commission would have been in a position to force the use of steel cars on the Fulton street and Brighton lines, which cars, it points out, are a greater protection to passengers than the flimsy wooden cars that smashed into kindling wood in the recent Brighton wreck.

"The statement issued by the Publie Service Commission," said Mr. Riegelmann, "is too thin a cloak behind which to hide to escape such part of the responsibility, if any, which rests upon them because of the recent terrible accident. Perhaps if the Public Service Commission had not indulged the contractors, but had held them to strict requirements of their contracts, the subways would have been completed and in operation long before the "This matter," said Reigelmann, referring the Ashland pl. proposal, "has rested in my office together with a number of other matters which were deferred because our activities were centered upon winning the war. The statement which intends to imply that had the alternative Ashland pl.

plan been approved by the Board of Estimate the work would be under way is absolutely false. Everybody knows that the subway work and all other work was retarded because of the war. "If, however, this matter was sO necessary and so essential, is it not reasonable to suppose that the Public Service Commission, which is charged with the duty of protecting life and limb, would have offered a protest to Board of Estimate before this time? Why did they not write or even make a verbal request to pedite this matter?"

"3D DEGREE" GRILL CAUSEDHAMBURGER'S DEATH, SAY LAWYERS Co-Defendant in Alleged Lumber Frauds Pneumonia Victim- No Duress, Says Beer. Alexander S. Drescher and William S. Evans, counsel to the officers and employees of the Coastwise Lumber Company, accused in the Federal Court of fraud on the Government in lumber deals, began all investigation today into the death of of Louis burger, a salesman, one of the defendants, who died this morning of monia. The attorneys charge that Hamburger given the "third at the Federal Building.

"He had a bad cold at the time," said Mr. Evans today. "He was kept in the library of the Federal Building from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. last Thurs.

day and sweated until he broke down. He had a cold at the time and the shock and nervous strain of the inces. sant questioning caused a diminution in his power of resistance to disease, and the cold developed into pneumonia." When this charge was called to the attention of Henry Ward Beer, the prosecutor said: regret exceedingly that the defendant, Hamburger, is dead. but I think that Mr. Evans and Mr.

Drescher are wrong in assuming that his death was caused by this so-called 'third I questioned him and 80 did the Army captain, but we did not keep him in the library for any such time as counsel says. He made a statement and, of course, when a defendant wants to make a statement. we must take it. At the time he was not represented by counsel and, in fact, had no right to be, in accordance with the procedure in this court, as he had not been arraigned. He was warned of his rights, as the stenographic report will show, and made his statement without duress on our parts." Hamburger was 35 years old, has two children and lived on Fort Washington Manhattan.

BOROUGH GAS CO. HEARING ENDS; P.S.C. RESERVES DECISION Counsel Says Commission Has Enough Facts to Grant Increased Rate, The rate case of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, which has pending before the Public Service Commission for several months, is pi closed. Finis was written to the longwinded proceedings today when the Commission announced that no more hearings would be held. Decision is reserved.

Residents of the Coney Island District, in which territory the company operates, were startled when the company applied to the Public Service Commission for permission to increase its rate for gas from 90 cents to $1.25 per 1,000 cubic feet. It based its claim to the higher rate on the decision of Referee Charles E. Hughes, who had been commissioned to investigate the rates for gas in the State. Mr. Hughes decided that statutory rates which did not permit a gas company to make a reasonable profit 011 its investment were to all intents and purposes confiscatory Lund therefore illegal.

W. W. Thompson, counsel for the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, a subsidiary of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, in his final argument be. fore the l'ublic Service Commission yesterday afternoon declared the company had shown by the testimony it submitted that its clai mfor an increase 111 the pas rate was fully justi. tied.

He said the Commission had facts enough on record. including an appraisal of the company's property, to decide the case offhand. He insisted that his company was entitled 10 special consideration because it had always obeyed the orders of the Commission to the letter. Mr. Thompson made the novel point that the Commission in a case of this kind ought to LO ahead and change the rate within 24 hours after receipt of the application.

if collateral con. ditions were such HIS to warrant change of rates the Commission should do so without a hearing. This he said, would apply to a proposed increase as well as a proposed reduction of the rates. Assistant Counsel for the Commis. sion Jacoh Hi.

Goetz made 110 reply to Mr. Thompson's statement. It is expected that the Commission will announce its decision within EL few days.
