ny provides the necessary instruction
free. When the junior grade is reach.
ed. employment is assured.
In the larger cities, telegraph schools
are already maintained for teaching
operators. These. however. have not
been able to turn out a sufficient num-
ber Of trained men and women to who'll
ly meet the present demands. It, is
now sought TO give persons in smaller
places as wen as the cities an opportu.

SAINT JOHNS CHURCH AFTER DELINQUENTS
Provost Marshak.G k.General Telegraphs
GovernOr-WantS Efforts Made to
Detect Those Not Registered.

! Wholesale arrests for failure to
register will be made here within
the next few days, or as soon as the
several means for checking up
slackcrs have been investigated. AL
! ready list of men personally known
to tire registrars has been made up,
and will be turned over to the Fede-
ra. authorities for action.
Governor Henry G. Stuart last
night received telegram from Pro
se-No rshal- General Crowder re-
uuesting that every effort be made
to detect and arrest all persons sub
jet to registration who had not com
piled with the law. The law re-
qrires that all police officers Of any
grade or class, whether township,
county, city, State or Federal, must
report those who have not registered.
They are empowered to require any
person subject TO registration to pro.
duce the registration certificate.
1t is the interest of the States
to see that all slacliers are brought
to justice, as the quotas Of the
States will depend upon the estima-
ted population, and not On the total
enrolment Governor Stuart, by,
insisting that the estimate for Vir-
ginia be corrected, cut down the esti-
mate 22,500, thereby greatly reducing
the quota of drafted men from this
State. If there are any slackers,
the burden will fall on the shoulders
of the registrants.
The time for leniency has passed.
Beginning today vigorous campaign
will be inaugurated throughout the
country to roundup those who have
not complied with the law. They
will be Immediately registered, as
the fact that they arc liable to a
heavy Jail sentence will not keep
them from being enrolled for military
service.

Even Intimated That it May Lead to
Change in Policy of Country.
Madrid, June 1.-The present po-
litical crisis in Spain was character
lied as the graveSt which has arisen
in the last forty years in a state
ment by Senor Groizard, president
of the Senate. He expressed this
opinion after having a conference
with King Alfonso. The King also
received Senior Villaneuva, president
of the chamber.
1t is thought probable that the
formation of government to sue
ceed the ministry of Marquis Prieto,
who resigned yesterday will be in
trusted to the Conservatives, with
Edurado Dato, former Premier, again
in power.
When Marquis Prieto was askel
after presenting the resignation ct
his Cabinet. if the crisis would lead
to a change in the policy of Spain,
he replied that was a question the
King would have to answer.
Paris, June IA Havas dispatch
from Madrid says it thought in some
quarters there that Marquis Prieto
may form another Liberal Cabinet.

tainty of death from Il mob bent on
lynchng him for suspected completely
in the abduction and murder Of 4

Ell c. J. Piersol into ccntessing
part in the crime.
He and his five fellow-prisoners
were taken from the custody of
Sheriff Will Webb at Stockton, As
miles northwest OF mere yesterday
by mob of 45 outraged Springfield
citizens in automobiles, who for more
than 90 hours had raced in automo-
biles to overtake the Sheriff, VINO
was fastening his prisoners to safe
ty in the state prison at Jefferson
CITY. When the mob reached Stock
:cn the Sheriff made q stem plea
with the mob that justice be allowed
to take its course, but the leaders m
sisted upon possessing Piersol, from
whom they believed they might ex-
tort confession.
With rope around his neck, ac-
cording to reports reaching the sher-:
if'ss office here, Piersol was led to
a tree and given an opportunity to
confess. Stoutly denying his guilt
the prisoner was swung up from the
ground and hanged until he was
black in the face. Then mis- capTors
lowered him and offered him one
more chance for life. Piersol insist
ed not only upon his innocence, but
that of the four men and. one woman
who also were prisoners. The mob
pulled the rore again, declaring that
he would die anyhow, and Piersol re-
NAMED silent. -.

the mob, and the swinging man was

to have four of his prisoners, includ-
ing Mrs. Taylor Adams, the woman
member of the alleged band, in jail
at Stockton. The two other prison.

More Reading and Rest Rooms
Planned for Their Use in AlexaE-

notwithstanding the fact that the
Row Scout rooms on South Washing
-on street were turned over fc- the
use cf the soldiers as reading and
rest looms, several days ego ana
thar similar rooms we're opened to-
dav in the Young Peoples building.
also for the same purpose, it is sad
that arrangements are under way
for opening still other rooms for their
use, as the following article, received
by the Gazette this morning will ex-
plain:
"Plans are under way for the es-
tablishment in this city of rest and
recreation rooms for the soldiers OF
the various camps which will be sta
toned around Alexandria for the
summer months. Mrs. Kate Waller
Barrett, who has recently been ap-
pointed Chairman of the committee
by the National Mothers Congress,
which will have charge of the welfare
and recreation work for soldiers IN
mobilization and concentration
camps, met with the Board of Gov
ernors of the Westminster bul'dlng
of the Second Presbyterian Church
proposed to them plan for the use
of the basement of this building,
which is splendidly equipped Tor the
purpose in view.
"The plan which is being favor
ably considered at the present tlme'
contemplates the appointment OF a
committee of ladies and gentlemen
from this city to have charge OF the
work. under the Board OF Governors
and will also embrace series OF en-
tertainments to be given for soldiers
in the regular army, marine corps
national guard and training camp al
such private houses in this city as
will be offered for the work.
The Mothers Congress Of TINS
country is taking active steps for
the establishment of similar places
of rest and recreation for the sol.
diers in camps throughout the coun-
try. Mrs. Barrett has just returned
from Philadelphia where she spoke
at meeting held at the home OF
Mr.. Edward Stoutsbury. MI
Stoutsbury has made contribution
of $4,000 for the erection OF claD
building in Philadelphia for the
same purpose. June 9TH a meeting
of the entire quota represented IN
tho Mothers Congress of Phlladel-
phia was held, at the y. NJ. {. A.
Building in Philadelphia, at which
time the Philemuseum. Club contrlbu-
ted $3.50 towards tent at League
Island. It is expected that similar
contributions will follow when the
people throughout the country have
become fully cognizant of the work
planned by the Mothers Congress.
1t is ardently hoped that this
work will be inaugurated with sue
cess in this city as this is one of
the cities which is direct center
of a large circle of various camps
Those in charge of the work will be
particularly fortunate in securing
the Westminster$B Building which COM
bines the best gymnasium facilities
with excellent baths, pool tables, and
bowling alleys and will be an ideal
place for soldiers taking time off
from their duties for few hours
every now and then during the sum-
mer months"
