Washington, June 11.-Twenty-six
states and the District of Columbia,
having all told slightly more than Sc
per cent of the country's population,
had sent in complete reports of their
military registrations of 4,71G,7S6
young men for war service.
For the territory reporting the cen
sus estimate was 5,372.59G eliglbes,
and on the basis of the returns 1t was
calculated the grand total of registra.
tion probably would be little more
than 100000 in place of the 10.2Gi. !.

The reports show white registra-

Officials pointed out that the census
figures were intended only as approx.
innate and that the discrepancy should
not be taken as indicating evasion OF
the draft. 1t was also pointed out that
between 100000 and 100000 men in
cluded in the estimates already are
members of the armed forces of the
Many of the states which previously
reported complete returns are sending
supplemental reports adding to their
totals. Delay in registering, especial

totals may delay final tabulation for
a week or more
In some states, too, there was confu-
sion over classification over those reg
istering, making 1t difficult to tabulate
in concise form even the returns so
far received.
Pennsylvania registered almost a
hundred thousand more men than cen

ceived by the War Department Gov

anticipated were S79.3Ss.
Working on Regulations.
The War Department is working on
regulations for the second step in the

EXPECT LAST TRIAL
NEXT DECEMBER

It was said at the municipal court
at Waukesha yesterday it was doubt
full when Miss Grace Lusk, accused
slayer of Mrs David Roberts, would
be arraigned on a charge of first de-
gree murder, court action depending
upon her condition. It is felt she will
waive preliminary examination and her
case will then probably be sent over
to the December term of court.
The condition Of Miss Lusk was SO
improved today that the hospital au-
thorities said that the, school teacher
probably would be transferred to the
Waukesha county jail next week to
await trial Miss Lusk shot and killed
Mrs. David Roberts and then attempt
ed suicide, after the two women had
quarreled over DR.. Roberts, with whom
Miss Lusk admitted she was in love,

AUTOS COLLIDE
ON RURAL ROAD

A head-on collision between two
automobiles yesterday resulted in
considerable damage to the cars and
a severe shock to the drivers, Gus
Kleeber and Clarence Powell. The
accident occurred at the fork of the
Winfield road two miles north of this
city.
Mr.. Kleeber was returning to his
farm in his Buick car after trip to
town. AS he approached the fork of
the road a driving rain against the
windshield prevented him from seeing
Mr.. Powell in his Paige car coming
toward him. Powell saw car ahead
and thinking the driver meant to take
the right fork of the road he turned
to the left But Kleeber took the
left also and the cars came together
with a crash.
Mr. Powell escaped injury, but
Kleeber received a scalp cut from
flying glass. Attorney Thomas McIn-
tosh Of Superior, who was in Mr. Klee'
beris car, received badly bruised
leg. The tenders, running boards
and lamps on both cars were badly
smashed.-Reedsburg Times.

BODY NOT YET
FOUND At DELLS

The body of Seymore Litz, aged %
years, tourist from Chicago, who
was drowned in the Wisconsin river
at Kilbourn this week, has not been
recovered, though the searchers have
constantly been at work on the river
in hopes of bringing it to the surface.
A Kilbourn resident while in Baraboo
told Rev. E. C. Henke that the unfor-
tunate man dropped into the river
while trying to take a picture OF two
companions. While the companions
were on the shore he was standing in
a boat and fell over. They threw him
an oar, which he seized for moment
and then released his hold. Litz then
sank from sight to rise no more.

WHAT TO DO IN
A THUNDERSTORM

If you are out of doors in a very
severe electrical storm, the Electri-
cal Experimenter offers the following
rules for your protection:
l. Keep away from wire fences.
They may carry dangerous electrl-
cal charge long distances. Cattle in
pastures are frequently killed from
the neglect of farmers to ground the
wire of the fence.
2. Keep away from hedges, ponds
and streams.
8. Keep away from isolated trees,
Oak trees are frequently struck. 1t
is safe in dense forest.
a. Keep away from herds OF cattle
and crowds of people.
5. Do not hold an umbrella over
you.
6. 1t is safer to sit or lie down in
open field than to stand.
7. Drivers should dismount and
not stay close to their horses.
8. Do not work with any large
metal tool or implement.
If you keep indoors:
1. Keep away from the stove and
chimney. The hot gases from the
rhimney may conduct the lightning
to and down the chimney.
2. Do not take a position between
two bodies of metal as the stove and
water pipe, for example. An excep-
ton to being near metals is the case
of an iron bed One of the safest
places is on a mattress in an iron bed
provided you do not touch the metal
The metal surrounding you makes
safe cage which will prevent the
lightning from reaching pearson in
side.
/ 8. Do not stand on wet floor mol
draw water from the well or faucet.
4. Do not stand directly under
chandelier, near radiator, nor on
register
5. Do not use the telephone.

Ringing Brothers Tender the Al.
Ringing Theatre to the City Of
Baraboo
BUILDING ERECTED
BY THEIR BROTHER
Name to Remain the Same and
Proceeds to Be Used to Main
tain the Playhouse

The four Ringing Brothers have de-
cided to give the AL. Ringing theatre
to the city of Baraboo. The papers
have been prepared by their attorney,
John M. Kelley, and will be presented
to the city council at the regular
meeting this evening. Announcement
of the gift has been made by Henry
Ringing, the only brother residing in
this city. Charles E. Ringing has his
home in Evanston, while John and Alf.
T. are in New York.
The fine gift not only includes the
building, but all of the furniture and
fixtures. The main stipulations are
that the playhouse retain its present
name, the AL Ringing theatre, and
that all proceeds be kept in separate
fund for the maintenance Of the struc-
ture The theatre is to stand as a
monument to the brother who built it
and whose name it bears. The broth
ers do not desire that it become a
profit-making institution for the city,
except that enough money be forth
coming to keep the playhouse in oper-
alton and in repair.
Built Two Years Ago
The playhouse was erected during
1915 by AL. Ringing at cost Of
about 100000. 1t was opened in No
vember of that year, the scene being
one of the most pleasant Baraboo has
ever witnessed. Mr.. Ringing died on
January /, 1916, about month and
half after the opening.
In his will the building was left in
the care of the four brothers, Mrs.
Ringing to receive the profits. Later
Mrs. Ringing released her interest,
and since then the building has been
controlled entirely by the circus own
ers.
Besides the theatre proper, busi-
ness places are occupied on the two
floors.
The gift is a generous one and gives
the city one of the finest municipal
! playhouses in this country. The
brothers feel that individuals cannot
always control property, while cities
go on for centuries. AS a monument
for the departed brother, the munich
pality can in far better way care
for the playhouse which should be
enjoyed by many fture generations.
