CHARGES AGAINST GILBRIDES
They Will Be Aired in the Police
Court Tomorrow Morning.

Matt and James Gilbride, farmers
of jamestown, were late yesterday be-
fore Judge Harry Johnson of the mu-
nicipal court on the charge of threat
ening to do great bodily harm to
George Shipped, also of jamestown,
member of the County Safety Com
mission. 1t was alleged that one of
the defendants threatened to break
every bone in the compliments body
and that the other said he would fix
him. The Gilbrides both denied that
they made any such remarks as were
attributed to them, but one of the two
is said to have admitted that he made
the remark that he could give Schip-
pei smash between the eyes if he
wanted to, but added that he did not
say he would do it. 1t is reported that
the quarrel between the men arose
out of a conversation over the exemp-
ton of Matt Gilbride from military
service. However MAT may be, the
matter will be aired in the municipal
court tomorrow morning at ten o'clock,
to which time the cases were con-
tinued The Gilbrides were allowed

Accident That Might Have Resulted
Fatally to Some People.
An automobile accident which mar
rowly missed being fatal to several
people, occurred on the Pohl road at
the cross roads near the Kennedy
church Sunday night, about one
o'clock. One of the d. c. Auto liv-
cry Maxwell cars, driven by Carl
Fitch, and containing couple OF
passengers, was going out from Man
kato, and Buick, containing four
people and driven by Mr.. Barker, a
stock-man, was coming in from the
opposite direction. The Buick struck
the Maxwell a terrific glancing blow,
which Jared and shook both cars and
occupants very badly, but neither uD-
set, nor were any of the occupants
injured. Both cars were put out of
service. One forward wheel on each
car was broken, each forward axle
being badly bent. The running board
and fender on the Maxwell car was
torn and bent so badly that it was
necessary to repair the machine with
new ones. The Buick driver notified
friends to come for himself and pas
sengers, and the D. c. Auto livery
were called up by telephone and went
out and brought in the damaged car
and passengers.

GEORGE MARTIN.

Washington, September o6.-The
Army league, claiming to be backed
by the war department general staff
today advocated immediate amend
ment of the selective draft law to in
Guide youths of nineteen and twenty
Among the officers of this OTganiza-
ton are Joseph Letter, president;
ex-President Taft, honorary vice.
president; Perry Belmont, DR.. William
T. Hernaday, Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheel
er, vice presidents; and Clark Howell,
George w. G. Drexel, Thomas Nelson
Page, Colonel George Truesdell and
General John A. Johnston, members of
the executive council.
The league says the general staff
thinks these boys are needed and
should be conscripted and put in train
ing at once to insure triumphal clos
ing of the European war.
Asserting that youths of this age
have played vitality important in pre-
vious wars, the league quotes Lieuten-
ant-General S. M. B.. Young's state
ment, CLEANED from the records of the
war department as to ages of soldiers
in the Civil war. These are:
Boys ten years of age and under
twenty-five; eleven or under, thirty
eight; twelve, twenty-five; thirteen,
300 fourteen, 1928; fifteen, 104,9S7;
sixteen, 231,051; seventeen, S44,091;
eighteen, 1,151,43S; twenty-one, g.
1878; twenty-five and over, 1926.
"To keep down the expenses of con-
Quoting the war;" said the leagues
statement, "the government should
avoid as far as possible the calling of
men with dependents. Even at greater
cost it is doubtful whether so many
men can be secured between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty-one as will
be available between nineteen and
twenty-one.
1.-THE amendment could be so framed
that the men called out under it would
not be placed in active service until
they have reached the age of twen-
ty-one.
1.-THE time that has been consumed
in putting into effect the existing
law should convinc anyone who has
been watching the progress of our
preparations for war that congress
should take up this legislation i'm
mediately."
