CORRECTION.

In the March "a issue Of the Press,
it was asserted that w. E. Baker had
been convicted on a charge of steal
ing from box cars in the local rail-
way yards. The name should have
been George Baker. w. E. Baker is
a freight conductor on the Northern
Pacific between Dickinson and Glen
dive, and and is a former resident of
Dickinson, having removed to Glen
dive last fall, and this correction is
made in justice to him. George
Baker was a resident of the South
Side here for a few months and was
not connected with the railway. The
name George Baker, in the article of
last week, was the correct one.

Senate and House Vote on Ad-
mlnlstrduon Measure.
CONFERENCE IS NECESSARY
Amendments Arc Expected to BE
Agreed Upon Promptly and Act
Sent to tho President.

Washington.-By overwhelming ma
jorities both the senate and house
passed the administration bill to raise
a war army by seleotive draft.
The final roll calls brought into line
behind the bill many senators and rep.
resentatives who had fought for the
volunteer system until routed by de-
cisive defeat of volunteer amendments
in both houses.
The senate, which had voted down
the volunteer plan, SO to 10, passed
the bill by a vote of 81 to s.
In the house the vote against the
volunteer plan was 313 to 119 and that
by which the bill itself was passed
was 1877 to "a.
Senator Harding's amendment to the
army bill, designed to permit Colonel
Roosevelt to raise four infantry divi-
sions for service in France, was adopt
ed by the senate, Sc to 81. Many
Democrats voted for it. A similar
amendment was rejected by the house.
The amendment does not specifically
mention Colonel Roosevelt, but its
purpose was we'll understood.
AS passed by the senate the meas
ure provides for the draft Of men be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-seven years, while in the house
measure the age limits are fixed at
twenty-one to forty.
War Department 10 Ready.
This and lesser discrepancies will be
threshed out in conference early this
week so the bill may be in the hands
Of the president as quickly as posi-
BILE. The war department already has
completed plans for carrying it into
effect.
Both the senate and house adopted
bills just before the final roll call
which would greatly increase the pay
of enlisted men during the war. The
house provision would make their pay
$50 a month and that approved by the
senate would fix it at 500 a month.
The present pay is only SIS.
In the house, at the last moment.
Chairman Fitzgerald Of the appropri:
ations committee objected strenuously
to the appropriation of 100000 car
ried in the bill for the expenses for
the new army and the section finally
was eliminated. Mr.. Fitzgerald de-
clared that to place this vast sum In
the hands of the secretary of wal
would make of congress a mere auto
maton" and promised that if the Sec
tion were voted down the committee
would provide funds promptly in a
separate measure.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Chairman Dent of the
military committee, who had favored
the volunteer system, all voted for the
draft bill on the final roll call. Repub-
lican Leader Mann also was recorded
in the affirmative.

DIR. PAUL HOWELL
CALLED TO SERVICE

The BelOit Daily News of September
II had the following to say of a for
mer Lancaster boy, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. Howell of this city:
First Lieutenant Paul A Howell,

city, received orders this noon to re-
port with all possible haste at Camp

DIR. Howell received his commits
sion few days ago in the regular

port for service at once upon further
notice. The further notice" came
this noon.
The BelOit dentist made his first
application for commission early in
April of this year. He took his exam
ination at Milwaukee July 6. His
commission was dated at Washington
on August 8, and was signed by the
adjutant general on August "a. AS
soon as the commission was signed,
so great was the rush for dentists in
the army, DR.. Howell received a tele-
gram from the war department mott
flying him Of his appointment and ask
ing him to accept by wire.
I'm this way, before the commits
sion had reached the Beloit dentist,
plans were nearing completion for his
service to start in Texas. One den
tist, ranked at first lieutenant, is as
signed to each 1000 enlisted men and
intrusted with the care of their teeth.
DIR. Howell is the first Beloit den
fist to receive a commission during
the present emergency.
"The order from Washington is that
officers must furnish their own equip
ment, and DR.. Howell finds consider
able trouble in getting the necessary
outfit. Friends among the local den
tai clan got busy this morning and
helped out on the supply question so
that it was finally settled.
Mrs. Howell will remain here while
her husband is starting his work for
the war department"

Miss Bertha Long
Married,

Under the caption, 1.-TWO Young
Folks Steal March," the Herald Of
Fruita, Colo, records the nuptials of
a former Lancaster young lady:
1.-TWO of F'ruita's young people put
one over on their friends when j. S.
Owens and Miss Bertha Long were
married in Leadville on Saturday, the
first. Mr.. Owens, who was staying at
the White house, arranged with Mrs.
Moore for the reservation of room
for his mother, whom he expected
shortly to pay him a visit. Later he
went to Leadville, Ostensibly to meet
his mother but she happened to be
Miss Bertha Long, with whom he had
been in correspondence since her trip
to Lancaster, Wis, in July.
"Mr. Owens has been in the recla-
nation service until recently, when
he was transferred to the drainage
project. Miss Long needs no introduce
ton, as she was w. H. Cox's right
hand for a long time in his grocery.
Both of the young people have a
host of friends, both here and else
where, who wish them all the joy in
the world in their new relation"

The local exemption board has mott
fled the boys to be on hand for roll
call at o'clock, but the committee in

that the program will not extend too
late into the afternoon. In all prob
ability shorter program will be
given than at the last demonstration
Another parade of delegations from
the visiting towns will be held, and
Lancaster business business men have
been asked to help decorate the entire
city for the day. Flags have been or
dered, and plenty of red, white and
blue will be on hand for those who
are unable to procure banners at
home.
The schools of Lancaster will de-
clare another half-holiday, and young
America will march in the parade. A
greater effort will be made to have
the rural schools present. Every ru-
raj school in the county should be rep
resented in order that the children
may take part in the demonstration.
Another big dance at the rink will
be held, to which the soldiers will be
admitted free. Good music and
pleasant evening are promised.
