Cards Give Out in Many
Large Cities; Official
Returns Delayed
Convicts Report First
Figures from the Westches-
ter Penitentiary Sent
at 8 O'clock
by Telegraph TO The Tribune

Albany, June 6.-Although no New
York State registration returns had
been filed at the state headquarters up
to midnight, Governor Whitman had
received reports from various cities
which showed that the registration had
far exceeded the figures estimated by
the Federal Census Bureau.
New York State has done itself
proud in this registration said the
Governor. 1--WE have a right to be
pleased. From every section Of the
state have reports showing there was
not the slightest disturbance"
The War Department sent each city
and county 10 per cent supply of reg
istration cards in excess OF the num-
Der it thought would be required, but
nevertheless the registration headquar-
tiers were called upon to send thou
sands of additional blanks.
The Governor, Adjutant General
Stotesbury and Major j. Leslie Kin
caid, who is in charge Of registration
headquarters, were amused when the
first report came from Westchester
county and turned out to be from the
penitentiary there. The report came
in before S O'Clock, an hour before the
registration booths were supposed to
close. but il was certain that no more
men would come in there TO register.
In all cases the reports will come IN
a number code, indicating the number
of whites exempt and the total regis
tering; colored exempt and non-eN-
emit. alien and alien enemies. Major
Kincaid, who is in direct charge OF the
Federal registration for this state, an
nounced at midnight that 1t would be
a physical impossibility to have the re-
turns in shape TO give to the public
unit! noon tomorrow at the earliest.
During the afternoon the adjutant
general was advised by the New York
CITY committee that il was running
short of registration cards. and
messenger was dispatched to New York
City with 10000 additional. Syracuse
came next. with a request for 1000
additional cards; Albany followed with
an announcement that II was at least
$500 short, and Schenectady reported
a shortage of $500 Buffalo advised
the adjutant general that ii was far
short of the requisite number and had
several thousand extra printed.
Before Major Kincaid was out of bed
at the Hotel Ten Eyck this morning the
Sheriff of Saratoga was at his door
asking what he would do with thirty
five colored men, all the way from New
Orleans. The colored men were work
ing on road improvement contracts IN
Saratoga County and were afraid they
would be deprived Of the privilege OF
registering. Major Kincaid told the
Sheriff to have the men registered in
Saratoga County.

rangements were smoothly and eXpe-

Registration Places on
East Side SWanped by
Response of Young JeWs

In long, tired lines that wound
around street corners and sat on dirty
pavements the young men OF the East
Side yesterday responded to the call
Of Uncle Sam and in order to enter
their names on the register of the
country's elgibles.
Not even on election days has the
great Jewish district witnessed such
sights. There was no noise. There
were no denunciatlons or protesta-
tions. The long lines surged silently
forward. neither amused nor angry,
neither brisk nor backward.
The registration machinery became
clogged early in the morning. Before
noon the waiting lines had grown so
long that Acting Inspector Sweeney
telephoned TO the various precincts TO
press policemen into clerical service.
But even with policemen working at
top speed the lines grew longer and
longer. sometimes stretching away for
a block and more from the registration
places. THIN the Home Defence League

While New York's young men were
signing their names on Uncle Sans
draft lists yesterday, meetings to slim

parks. churches, synagogues and pub

American arms. patriotic hymns were
sung. appeals were made to those be-

PLANS 70 REVIVE ROAD.
w. D. olney, Of Des Moinss, Back Of
Move to Purchase Atlantic Southern.

Special to Times Republican.
Atlantic. Feb. Nv d. Olney, of
Des Moincs, Is trying to interest some
people in plan to revive the Atlantic
Southern railroad and has sufficient
faith In the enterprise that he will in
vest his own funds in the scheme. Mr.
Olney has made several visits to the
towns along the line which have been
inarooned since the railroad ceased
operations and recently walked over
that part of the road extending from
Atlartic to Grant, with view of get
ting close insight into its physical
condition. Mr.. Olney has expressed
himself as confident of success 80 far
as reestablshing the line, from Grant to
Atlantic, but is not so sure about being
able to resurrect the line from Grant to
villisca. The distance between Grant
and Atlantic is about twenty miles,
Mr.. Olney's plans are for a motor
service using gasolene as the motive
power. He would operate the line just
as the interurbans do, stopping at any
section line to accommodate passengers
or other business. He is certain that in
a short time a line operated under such
conditions could be made profitable
1t Is understood that overtures have
been made to the Abeles Company for
the purchase Of the right of-way of
the line and it has been estimated that
it could be put in operation for about
1900, 900.

ings message to the legislature in
which he says, in effect that the state
is facing deficit in the treasury of
$1,500O00 is challenged in a statement
which has been issued by Quincy A.

Mr.. Willis takes issue with state
ments in connection with the recent
developments in the state financial
situation, and which We're based upon
the Interpretation of the treasury sit

his message, and also upon statements
made by Lieutenant Governor Moore,
and the chairman of the house and SEN

due to an insufficient working balance
in the state treasury.

THE statement made by MIR. Will

"The facts are that there will prob

''Nor does the fact Of the existence
of such excess of necessity determine
that the state is broke.
1T is probably true that If payment

"The statement made by Mr.. Will

'F'or few years past the legis-
