Washington, March 20. ? The supreme court today, for want of jurisi diction, dismissed the case of Carlos ' j Corbett, plaintiff in error, against the state of South CuroHna, defendant in error. The. effect of the dismissal will be ! that Corbett will have again to face a charge of murder. Corbett killed three men near Salley in Orangeburg county more than a year ago by firing separate and distinct shots at the different men. He ' was tried for the killing of one of the men nnd acquitted. When arI raigned for trial on a separate indict: merit for the killing of another of the men, he interposed a plea of for' mer jeoyardy. Counsel for the state 1 demurred to this plea. The circuit 'j judge ovcruled the demurrer. The state appealed to the supreme court of ihe state of South Carolina. That '! court rendered its decision in October, 1921, reversing the trinl judge and remanding the case to the circuit court for trial. Application for a writ of error to the supreme court of the United States was then presented by ' counsel for Corbett and allowed by ' Chief Justice Garv of the stinremei j court of South Carolina. The state of South Carolina moved that the case he dismissed by the supreme court of the United States for want of jurisdiction for the following reasons: (1) Because there had been no final 1 judgment rendered in the case. (2> Because even were judgment final, it would not be reviewable i by writ of error. (3) Because even were the judgment final and reviewable by writ of I error, the supreme court had in numi erous cases decided the question raised '| contrary to the contention to the plaintiff in error. Corbett was represented by Wolfe & Berry, Cole L. Blease, Mendel L. Smith, J. Leroy Dukes, B. J. Wingard and James H. Fanning. The state of South Carolina was represented by A. J. Ilydrick, Adam H.

AMERICAN TROOPS | LEAVE GERMANY Washington, March. f0.~-All American troops will be out pf- Germany by July 1, under orders issued by Secre-J tary Weeks today btf direction of President Harding. 4bout 2,000 officers and men ar4 directly affected as the remainder of Major General Allen' command in . the Coblenz bridgehead zone on the Rhine are already under home orders. The announcement of the decision for complete American evacuation of occupied territory itt Germany was made by Secretary Weeks as his tirst act on return to the department from a three weeks' vacatioii in Florida. He indicated that the step ,was ordered in compliance with the policy previously announced of withdrawing the Rhine forces as quickly as .possible. It had no relation, he said, to the wrangle in congress over further .deduct ion of the size of the army npr did it result from the correspondence between the state department and.the allied commissioner over the American demand for a share in German reparations payment on account the maintenance of troops in Germany. The war secretary made no explanation of steps that would be taken to turn the Coblenz sector to the allied commanders for policing and to hold the bridgehead as a means for further advances into Gemany to enforce treaty obligations. The three bridgehead positions were <en up under the armistice for this purpose and their occupation confirmed in the treaty of Versailles and the treaty between the United States and Germany. It was admitted at the war department that the action of the Unied States in completely abandoning the Rhinelund position might have some effect on the negotiations resulting from Secretary Hughe*' action in submitting a request that the United: States receive a share in German reparations payments already made to cover maintenance of. the armies on the Rhine.

Bulked in | their dcrirc to get the measure up toi day under a suspension of the rules, Republican house leaders in charge ..f the compromise soldiers' bonus bill .-lill were determined tonight to put tho measure through this week. Their expressed intention was to cull it up Thursday, und -r a suspension of the lules if possible; otherwise under a special rule which probably would shut out amendments. Before the house met K.day the whole situation was laid before President. Harding at. the White House by a committee of house leaders but the executive declined to make any recommendation. Speaker Gilh-tt made known to those in charge of the bemus legislation bis decision not to entertain a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill. This necessitated further coitft rences among the leaders, who refused to abandon their plan to call up tho hill with the rules suspended so as to shut off a motion P. recommit the bill as well us all amendments. Tho whole question of procedure was discussed at a conference after the house had adjourned after a *>0 minutes' session. Present at this conference were members of the ways and means committee and the party steering committee as well as other leaders. No final decision or procedure was reached but there was at least n tacit agreement that the hill would come up Thursday. Representative Mondeli issued this statement when the conference broke up: '"Tomorrow we shall reach a decision possibly by noon as to when and how tho measure will be brought up"for consideration. There will be no party conference. Speaker Gillett said: "Things arcas unsettled as they were," adding that he had not stated that he would recognize any one to present n special rule to take the bill up under a suspense of the rules. "The only thing certain is that tho hill will come up Thursday," said he. Representative Lineberger of California, a former service man, wanted a party conference called to thresh out the bonus question and the speaker was represented as favor'ng this procedure. Others opposed such a plan, however, arguing that this would open up the whole bill to change. Mr. I .inebercer finnllv -iir?-n,..l - for a conference and after further discussion it was decided to leave until tomorrow the final decision by the speakers as to procedure. The house committee laid the whole situations before the president, emphasizing the change that has been made in the bill since the president's last letter to Mr. Fordney suggesting a sales tax or postponement of the legislation. The president was represented as giving no indication one way or another as to his views on the bill and as desiring to he left, free to pass judgment on it when it reached the White Hojse. He was tjuoted as saying that he had not had opportunity to study ui| of its provision- as fully as he might wish; also that he thought tin responsibility was- v. th congress at this time.
