PROTEST.
SECRECY
in DRAFT
By ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL.
Senator Miles POindexter
conferred with Provost Mar
shall General CIR der today
concerning complaints from
Seattle that the select serv-
ice appeal board of the
Northwest Washington dis
trict refuses to open the
doors of its sessions to the
public.
Boards in other parts of, the
country have opened their sessions
to newspaper men, but the Seattle
board has steadfastly refused TO
permit even the governments ap-
peal agent to hear its discussions
of Individual cases.
Accusations Of gross unfairness
are piling up.
In Tacoma, it is understood, the
Southwest Washington board,
headed by Lieut.. Gov. Hart, also
has pursued a star chamber pol
fey, but up to date no such serious
charges of favoritism have been
made against IL as In the Seattle
case.
The law leaves the matter up
to the boards. but since the boards
are appointed by the governors of
the various states, it is suggested
that the remedy for the Seattle
and Tacoma situation lies in the
hands of Gov. Lister.
It has been found in those
states where information is not
withheld by the boards, that
many cases of fraud which other
wise might have escaped the no
tice of the hoard have been
brought to light when full infor-
nation has been published in the
press.

hunted
MAN IS
NABBED

The hunt for Bennett Stod-
dart, wanted in connection
with the brutal assault on lit
tie Mamie Torrko at Carbon
ado last week, was cOmplicat-
ed Wednesday by report re-
ceived by the Tacoma police
from the town marshal of
Sumner that the suspect had
been arrested at Sumner last
Friday night on his way to Sc
attic.
The .rogues' gallery photograph
of Stoddart printed in The Times
Tuesday was recognized positively
by the marshal as that of the man
he had arrested.
The man walked into Sumner
last Friday, he said, and was
picked up as a suspicious charac-
ter. He put up a story of poverty,
saying he was walking to Seattle.
On the strength Of his story he
was released. What direction he
went after leaving Sumner is not
known.
Another Clue.
The printing of the picture of
the hunted man resulted in at
least 10 telephone calls to the po-
lice Wednesday from persons. who
said they had seen the man in Ia.
coma
A clue received from Station
Agent Carew at the Rockdale sta
ton on the Milwaukee has led of
ficers here to believe that Stod-
dart might have made his escape
into Adams county.
Gov. Lister has offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for the capture of
Stoddart and his delivery to
Sheriff Longmire, or one of his
agents.
Buys Ticket.
According to information re-
ceived from Station Agent Carew,
man answering Stoddart's de-
ecription was seen last Sunday
night, at Rockdale, so miles east
of Carbonate in the heart of the
Cascades. The man was greatly
excited, and asked the agent how
far he could travel on S., which
he said was all he had. He finally
paid 81 for a ticket to Othello
Adams county.
Carew said the man wore a pair
of blue overalls, a new pair OF
shoes, and appeared to have trav-
eled a long distance under diff
culties. Stoddart is known to
have worn a new pair of shoes
when he disappeared from Carlo
nado.
Sure Of Man.
Charles Shirver, conductor or
the train which carried him to
OthellO, said the man went tC
sleep when he boarded the train
and had to be awakened when
Othello was reached.
Hugo Spitz. brakeman on the
train, Wednesday identified the
rogues' gallery picture Of Stoddart
as that of the man he had seen on
the train to Othello. He said he
was positive of the Identification,
as he had eaten a meal with hiu
at Othello.
The sheriff of Adams county
has been notified and watch i.
being kept on all trains.
With the Identification of Stod
dart by the little girl as Convic'
No. 7765, paroled from Walli
Walla penitentiary, his capture il
expected.

GERMANS EATING
 CROW AT 400 A BIRD
Sparrow and WOcdchuck Also
 Choice Tidbits Just Now

NEW YORK, June 23.-"Germany is eating crow, and instead of shoot ing golden pheasants and woodcock, the sportsmen-all of whom are above the age of 70-kill English sparrows and woodchucks for food" said an American doctor, who for the last eight years has been a resident of Berlin, and whose name is withheld because his mother still resides there.
 Despite the wonderful German or ganization and conservation the Fla therland is suffering severely from food shortage" the doctor continued. This shortage is manifested partic- ularly in lack of grain and vegetab- les and staple necessities. The choice dish on German table is crow. The birds cost a German about 40 cents apiece. Sparrows sell for about 8 cents apiece and are considered a luxury by the poorer classes.

 The Bethmanns, who founded the family that existed in Bordeaux and Paris. came from Frankfort to Bor- deaux in the 18th century and were of Israelite origin. according to the version prevalent here. The name is balf Hebrew and half German, beth meaning house in Hberew and mann meaning man in German. The hyph- enated name Bethmann-Hollweg, it is explained, originated in the marriage of a sister of the Bethmann brothers, who were bankers iA Paris and Bor- deaux. to a German named Hollweg. Hollweg succeeded to part of the banking business and considering the name of Bethmann of greater com mercial value than his own, inverted the usual order and this new family became the Bethmann-Hollweg family which the German chancellor may or may not have descended.

GIANTS OUTPLAYED
BUT HOPEFUL THAT
THEY'LL CATCH UP
By SAM CRANE.

ABOARD GIANTS SPECIAL, SOME
WHERE IN AMERICA, Oct. s.-with
the worlds baseball championship
series standing two games to nothing
against them, the Giants are today
speeding eastward to resume hostili-
ties on the Polo Grounds tomorrow.
McGraw's team left after their sec.
ond game yesterday, in which the
White Sox trounced them by q score
OF to 2, and left no doubt in the
minds of the Windy City fans about
the final outcome of the series.
Chicago players and rooters alike
are more than confident now that the
worlds championship pennant will
float from the breezes at Comiskey
Park next season. The decisive de-
feat OF the Gothamites yesterday
filled the populacs with Joy. New
York teams never were popular in
the Windy City. The slogan has ever
been: Anything to beat New York"
Not since the Cubs memorable vic
tory over the Giants by the score of
10 to o has there been such rejoicing
here over q baseball triumph.
The Giants surely were put to rout
in the second contest The White Sox
bombarded their hurlers hard. They
drove Ferdinand Schupp to cover in
the second inning. after the Giants
had secured a two-run lead. and An
derson met a similar fate In the
fourth. The form displayed by the
Chicago batsmen surprised the New
Yorkers. They piled up fourteen hits,
every man on the team getting at
last one safe blow excepting J. Col
Inns, who was at bat only once. being
displaced by Leibold early in the
game.
As a result OF the White Sox's fine
playing they are now held two to one
favorites to win the series. Chicago
experts predict that II will be a clean
sweep, and that the Sox will duplicate
the feat OF the Boston Braves in win
ming the championship in four
straight games.
Where before the first game Chi
cago followers were timid in betting
even money on their favorites, today
they are anxious to wager eight to
five that the Sox win the third con-
test
While Chicago gloats over the dou-
BILE victory and regards the series as
being all over excepting the celebra-
ton, Manager McGraw and his players
were by no means dIsheartened over
their defeats.
McGraw did not divulge his plans
for the third game tomorrow. but II
is figured that he will send Rube
Benton against the SoK and that
Rowland will depend on Williams,
one of his southpaws.
The Washington times., 1917-10-08

ter fortified and more encouraged than
ever. The kind of ball Faber pitched
was practically unbeatable. with
Clcotte ready to open in New York
and Faber to follow, IL Rowland so
elects, the necessity OF returning TO
Chicago for another game is a mat.
ter of much doubt. The hope OF the
Giants apepars to rest upon the moral
erect Of the crowd upon the Giants
and the White Sox.
The fielding is one OF the marvellous
parts OF this series. Even after the
issued was decided and all chance for
the Giants to win vanished the IndI-
vidual exhibitions of skill kept the
crowd cheering and enthusiastic. We
never have seen such work, either in
the infield or outfield, and the speed
OF the machines is the highest since
the Detroit and Chicago Cubs met for
the first time. Robertson's work In
the outfield, especially his throwing,
has been marvellous.
1t Is too early even to attempt to
guess what McGraw will do tomorrow.
The best guess is that he will do ex-
actly what no one expects him to do.
The cinch Is that Rowland will pitch
Cicotte.
