in spotting gun positions. Circling the
field, they released one Of the bombs,
which burst into smoke at a safe dis
tance below the machine. Then
watchers on the ground, among them
the inventor of the bomb, saw Wall
lean over the side, second bomb in his
hand. He dropped il, and almost i'm
me diately there was a fash and the
planes were ablaze.
Mead, who was driving the airplane,
pointed the nose downward apparently
in an effort to get to earth while there
was yet time TO escape the flames. But
when the blazing machine dropped the
men were found burned beyond recog-
milton.
Wall was thirty-two years old, and
was the son of a Buffalo physician.
Mead was twenty-seven years old, and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-Represent-
alive John F. Baer, of North Dakota,

gists who are undergoing sentence OF
thirty days in the workhouse tor PICK
citing the White House.
Miss Lucy Ewing's counsel, Gibson
Gardner. again failed 10 get permission
to see her, and believing that She
would be unable to communicate WIN
him. Miss Ewing signed the formaI
request prepared by the six plcEe,S
that they might be permitted To- confer
with Miss Lucy Burns, or the woman
party, acting as counsel for them All;
This request, which was refused Dy
the superintendent yesterday was
granted tonight after Representative
Baer's visit TO the workhouse.
Senator Lewis, Of Illinois, to-day
called on the Attorney General in be-
half of Miss Ewing and Mrs. Upton
Watson, of Chicago. The general
question of a pardon was discussed,
but the Senator was met with the
statement that if the Department Of
Justice should recommend pardoning
the two Chicago women, IL would have
to recommend n pardon for the four
other 2ickets also. Senator Lewis viii
pursue the matter further tomorrow.
Mr.. Baer introduced a resolution on

Naval Reserve Formed
Admiral Cowles to Organize
Bows and Men Not in Draft

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 20.-Under the
direction of Rear Admiral William C..
Cowles, retired, volunteer boys not yet
of draft age and registered young men
not called in the first quota Of the
National Army will be formed into a
reserve for the United States Navy.
Men equipped with naval knowledge
have been selected to instruct in navi-
CATION, plotting, signalling and other
accomplishments of sailor. The re-
cruits will be called for in every sea-
port town Of Connecticut. Americas
shipbuilding plan, Rear Admiral Cowles
thinks, will soon create great
demand for navy recruits. If he can
send trained young men into the
breach the rear admiral believes he
will be achieving his "bit" as retired
officer.
Rear Admiral Cowles is chairman Of
the military and naval committee OF
the Connecticut Council of Defence and
naval aide on the staff Of oyernor
Holcomb.

budget to provide for this extension.
CITY Magistrate Samuel II. Evins was
appointed a committee of one to nam
die all passport cases and so relieve
the subcommittee OF this work.
At the rate some Of the cases were
disposed of yesterday it is possible
that. with additional clerical help, the
board may reach as high an average
as 500 cases a day.
Mental Rupture" 4 New Excuse
All sorts of claims Of physical dis
ability came before the board .yester-
day. ranging from fiat feet to mental
rupture" and there was hardly a case
in which the decision Of the doctors
of the local boards was not affirmed.
Jacob Kommel, of Board t64. claimed
to be suffering from "mitral insufficient
cy of the heart" He presented three
physicians certificates to prove that
he was afflicted with systolic murmur
and accentuated pulmonary sound, in
addition to enlargement of the heart.
He added that he had been rejected by
an insurance company, but as the re-
port of the examining physicians
showed no good reason for his disqual-
ifcation, his claim was not allowed.
Some of the other claims Of physical
Disqualification not allowed were those
of Irving Levy, stomach trouble and
hay fever; Harry Bretholz. mental
rupture" and defective vision; Irving
Rose, loose cartilage in knee: Louis
Haber, defective eyes. nose trouble and
weak heart; David Loeb, catarrh land
brother in the navy; Benjamin Mar
golius. underweight. myopia and
chronic heart disease; Joseph Sisen-
vein. stomach trouble. chronic consti-
patton and eczema Jerome David Bohm,
fiat feet, double astigmatism. chronic
catarrh and underweight, and Dudley
n. Sarfat, fiat feet.
Dependency Claims Not Allowed
Some of those whose claims were not
allowed contended that they had been
rejected by the army or navy. A few
claimed exemption for both physical
reasons and dependency, and but
tlessed these with industrial claims.
Many cases of dependency had been in
vcstigated, and parents or wives found
to have other sources of income. Some
were found to have been married too
recently. Others had not backed up
their claims with proper evidence in
affidavit form.

The District Draft Board yesterday
disposed of 17S cases, the largest num-
Der recorded in any one day so far.
Fifty-seven cases were passed on at
the morning session, but it was not
until the afternoon session-the first
yet held-that the. faster pace devel-
oped. Then 1T cases were decided IN
little over an hour, an average %
about two a minute. Some Of them
were timed at less than twenty seconds
each. Others took as long rs forty-fiye
seconds, but in only a few was more
than a minutes time consumed.
The machinery of the board has now
been placed in such good working order
by Chairman Charles +. Hughes that,
save in debatable or unusual cases, It
is mostly perfunctory matter Of read
ing the name of the appellant or ap-
plicant for industrial exemption, his
serial number, board number and the
basis for his claim. with supporting
affidavits, all of which have been given
due consideration and investigation by
one of the five subcommittee. Tho
recommendation Of the subcommittee
is then announced and Chairman
Hughes puts the motion before the
board for a viva-voce vote.
Only Twenty Decisions Reversed
OF the 145 appeals from the decision
of local boards on exemption claims
handled during the day, only twenty
were reversed. Of the twenty claims
for industrial exemption, but four were
allowed. One of the exemption de-
cisions reversed was on an appeal on
behalf Of the government, the first Of
its kind to be heard. Thirteen applica-
tons for passports were granted.
So many appeals have come pouring
in and such unforeseen complications
have arisen that it has been found
necessary TO elaborate the system of
indexing and classification. To meet
this need the board decided TO en-
large its clerical force, which already
occupies several rooms on the third
floor of the Federal Building, and Will
lam B. Davenport and William II. Eng
lish were appointed committee on

u. S. to Safeguard
Bankers in Huge
Loan to Mexico
Carranza Assured That the
Money Needed Can Be
Raised Here

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-After more
tlan two years of pleading for financial
assistance the Mexican government has
been assured that American money can
bc secured. 1t was learned to-day that
the American government has finally
conveyed the intimation to American
bankers that its faith in the Carranza
government has grown to the extent
that it feels justified in extending
moral Endorsement of loan.
officials of the Mexican government
have denied that any direct effort has
been made to obtain a loan in the
United States, but American bankers
have been approached repeatedly with
the suggestion that they finance the
new government in that country, and a
more direct effort was made many
months ago in London. The London
bankers refused to have anything to DO
with the project, and the intimation
came from the Foreign Office that 1t
could not be ccun.snanced.
The American bankers never were
averse to placing money in Mexico II
assurance of some sort could be had
from the State Department that their
investment would be safegusrded.
The exact character of the assurance
now given them has not been revealed.
but it is understood that in the event
the Mexican loan is fioated IN this
country President Carranza will agree
t. receive advice as to it's expenditure
and to a degree Of supervision. Mexico
will try to obtain at least $250,oOO,O0O.
The Mexican Congress authorized the
floating of a S150,000,000 loan and in
addition to that Sl00000,000 will be
asked for the rehabilitation of the rail-
ways.
Reports to the State Department
both from Ambassador Fletcher and
from consuls continue TO indicate q
steady though slow increase in the
strength of the Carranza government.

35 Per Cent of Medical
Students in the Draft
Mayors Committee Replies to
General Crowder's "One-
Fourteenth" Statement

The Mayors Committee on National
Defence replied with figures yesterday
to the assertion of Provost Marshal
General Crowder that "only one-four-
teenth or whereabouts of medical stu
dents and hospital internes can be
taken by the draft" According TO the
reckoning OF the Mayors committee 30
per cent is a conservative estimate Of
the proportion of medical students in
cluded in the first call.
"The second call" says the commit
tee, (which is to follow Immediately
the mobilization of the men lncluded

From Cornell University Medical
College the committee learned that
every one of the eighty-two students
in the three upper classes is Of draft
age. that seventeen already have been
drafted, and that thirteen more are
likely TO be called within a week. In
the opinion of the college authorities,
the second call is sure 10 take twenty
four more. Not one of the students IS
likely to be rejected on physical
grounds or exempted because of de-
pendents.
Sixty-two of the 800 students at the
New York University and Bellevue
Medical College liable to the draft have
already been called, and more are be-
ing summoned at the rate Of four or
FIVE a day.
FiEhty-one have been called from the
College q Physicians and Surgeons

Ibou, forty more have reason TO be-
lieve that they viii be called lmme-
oistely.
Mount Sinai Hospital has lost eight
ont Of twenty-eight internes, and eK-
rec+s that al least four more will be
called. At New York Hospital, where
there were fifteen internes, two volun-
teered and five have been called.

Men to Have Arm Bands
The provision of arm bands or other

men. so that they may be singled out
by citizens for congratulations and
godspeed; tho decoration Of the city;
parades Of the quotas as a whole, if
possible; entertainments, city and To-

The proposed celebration has the
| hearty approval of Mayor Mitchell, VINO

/ man of the Committee on Organiza-
/ tons, said:
/ an a little while thousands Of the
young men of New York, chosen
| through the selective draft, will be
called for service in the National Army
at is the governments desire that
/ these men receive a farewell betting
/ the sacrifices which they are about 10
make in fighting for their country, and
! in this desire / am sure all citizens
! will heartily concur. Every American
community is preparing, and New York
| will wish an opportunity to give her
sons such a send-of as they deserve.
Asks Help of Business

tions affiliated with your committee TO
arrange an appropriate gala day for
these National Army recruits. Let US
cause these men TO feel that our hearts
are with them"
Deputy Attorney General Conkling
who addressed the meeting, protested
against the application Of the term
"conscripts" to the men who are tc
form the first National Army.
81 have yet to hear or remember,
he said, "the time that any man in high
Official circles thought or spoke il
terms Of 'conscript' and draft They
spoke of nothing other than The Sc
lected Service Men,"
The draft, Mr. Conkling said, was
merely the distrust of the nation in
the old volunteer system and its desire
to do things in a more efficient way.

Seamen Doubt Labor Vote

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The conference
of representatives of sesmen's organi-
cations of several Allied and neutral
countries, which has been in session
here for several days, to-day passed a
resolution of approval of and thanks
TO the British government for its de-
cision not to issue passports to dele
gates to the Stockholm Socialist cor
Press.
The resolution expresses the opinion
that the vote of the recent labor con-
ference in favor of sending delegates
to Stockholm was not a true and rep
resentative vote of the opinion of or
ganized labor, and that true vote can
only be taken by referendum of the
trades unionists."
A referendum is asked by the reso-
luton. the request being made that it
be taken by the Parliamentary Com
mittee of the Trades Union Congress.
