ceeds Quietly-High Wa
ter no Excuse, Eschbach
Rules.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 5.-Registra-
ton moved swiftly and smoothly in
Indiana today, according to reports
received here this morning. Practic-
ally every registration place in Indi-
ana was crowded with men during the
first two hours. Especially was. this
true in the negro section.
In many cities of the state young
women pinned khaki arm bands to
the sleeves of the men as they were
registered. Ruglers, on horseback,
rode through the streets in some
cities at $50 O'Clock arousing the
citizens to registration day.
Jesse Eschbach, state conscription
oficer, at the state house received a
telephone report from Brown county
that the sheriff had been unable to
distribute the registration supplies and
that the men had been unable to
reach the registration places in some
parts of the county because of high
water.
This is a national emergency and
registration must be carried out to-
day If the men have to go to the reg
istration places in boat or SWIM .
Mr.. Eschbach told the Brown county
man. adding, 1T cannot be stopped
by high water"

WAYNE COUNTY
DEMOCRAT WILL
ENTER CAMPAIGN
Lawrence Bertsch of Cam
bridge City, Placed in
Fight Against Finly Gray.

Wayne county Democratic leaders
today started after the hide Of Ffnly
H. Gray, Of Connersville, candidate for
the Democratic nomination as repre-
sentative from the Sixth district.
They announced that Lawrence
Bertsch, of Cambridge City. a young
manufacturer and staunch Democrat,
is receptive candidate for the nomi-
nation. His name was sprung as a
dark horse to defeat Gray.
The only opponent of the Corners
vile aspirant is Lewis Fedderman of
Brookville, and indications were that
defeating him. ,..-. -.
Interesting Fight Seen.
The entrance OF Bertsch into the
fight changes the entire complexion Of
the Democratic situation and precipit-
ates fight that will be interesting
Gray is exceedingly unpopular in
number of counties OF the District, es-
pecially so in Wayne where his pat
ronage assignments, his attitude on
the motorization cf the rural routes,
and his opposition to preparedness
while he was in Congress brought
down on him the wrath OF his party
Other counties are dissatisfied with
the political manipulations of Finly
and his brother. George. Tactics which
the Grays have employed against
Fedderman are already reacting as
boomerangs.
Using Fedderman's Race.
1t was said here today that they
were fighting Fedderman on the
ground that he is Of German parent
age and that in the present crisis the
Sixth district would make big mis-
take in sending a man of Teutonic an
cestry to Congress.
A feeling of resentment against
these tactics has grown in Franklin
and other counties where there are
thousands Of voters of German parent
age.
The springing Of the Bertsch can
didacy is expected to concentrate dele.
gates in his favor It is conceded
that Fedderman cannot win and that
Gray has poor chance II there Is an
other candidate in the field.
Bertsch is accepted as the best man
in the district to whip Gray in the con-
vention. The Cambridge City man is
a college graduate, very popular in
Wayne county and has large follow
ing in the district.

PRINCIPAL PICkELl
GOES TO LINCOLN TO
SEE ABOUT new JOB

Principal Pickell. Of the High school,
Is in Lincoln. Nebraska. it wac learned
today, in conference with school au
thorfties there over accepting the prin.
cipalship Of Lincoln high school.
Authorities Of the Lincoln schools
were In the city several weeks ago
looking up Pickell's record here and it
is understood that the present confer
ence was arranged at that time. The
Lincoln men not only investigated his
work In the schools but consulted a
number Of business men concerning
his qualities.
Pickell has been principal Of the
high school since September, 1913. On
several occasions since that time he
has had controversies with the stu.
dents.
His first trouble with the school was
IN the spring of 1914, when his deal
1ngs with three members of the basket
ball team caused storm of protest
from the students and resulted In sew.
eral students marking the front of the
High school building with the words
square IDEAL" which the members of
the class declared they had not re-
ceived.
During the last year he inaugurated
system Of grading in the school by
which a fraction Of a credit extra
could be given to the students making
higher grades. This system brought
about some confusion among the pa
irons OF the school as well as the stu
dents.
His latest action was in refusing at
the last moment to allow Bradford
Meyers and Nile Patti, members of the
1917 graduating class to take part IN
the commencement exercises on ac-
count of their lacking fractions Of a
credit. This last act has caused a
strong feeling against Pickell not only
among the students of the school but
from numerous patrons as well.
Pickell Is expected to return from
Nebraska some time this week.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Registra-

NO OPPOSITION FOUND

Young men of Wayne county of mill.

ed for army conscription today without
the slightest difficulty-almost with
out incident.
Very few Of the single men claimed
exemption from service except for dis.
ability or in cases where they we're
the sole support Of dependents. All
precinct registrars commented on this
fact. for 1t was the opinion Of many
that numerous eligibles would cite
every reason imaginable In support OF
exemption claims.
A young woman assisting in the
registration work in north-end pre-
cinct expressed he- admiration at the
fine spirit shown by the young men
who we're physically able to serve their
country.
Joke About Trenches.
THE boys we registered were splen-
did. All Of them accepted the situa.
tion calmly and joked about going to

married young man in our precinct
claimed exemption unless he was abso-
lutely justified in doing So"
Reports received from seventeen
city precincts at noon showed only
one alien enemy OF military age listed.
a German. This was in the twenty
seventh precinct. North Nineteenth

as a railroad laborer. He was prompt

Two Austrians listed In the twenty
fifth precinct, North Fourteenth and
G streets, declared they were loyal to
their country and would not fight for
the United States. They asserted that
they intended to return to Austria and
join the Austrian army.
There had been a total of S67 regis
trations in twenty.one Of the thirty-one
Richmond precincts up to noon and
all the registrars were kept busy
throughout the morning. The regis.
tration places close at 9 o'clock to-
night II is believed the total registra-
tions in Richmond will be more than
1000 and there probably will be an
equal number registered in the pre-
cincts outside Richmond.
Reports from the precincts in the
county outside Richmond showed the
registration was proceeding rapidly at
noon and all eligibles probably will be
listed in these precincts by late after
noon.
One Religious Objector
Only one report was made, up to
noon, of a man claiming exemption
because he belonged to religious
sect which does not permit it's mem
bers to take up arms, namely the
Church of God.

the manufacture Of whiskey and other
spirits during the war would be vir-
tually stopped under the prohibitive
tax on grain, molasses and other in
gradients, written into the war tax

necessarily decrease, as 1t is estimat-
ed a two or three years supply is
held in bonded warehouses. With
drAwal of this for use would furnish
