Law TO DRAFT
MILLION ALIENS
Passed By the Senate at Washing
ton Yesterday.

Taking the situation into its own
hands the Senate yesterday passed a
bill making mandatory the drafting of
what are said to be more than mil
lion slackers in this country.
Some weeks ago the Senate passed
resolution directing the President to
enter into diplomatic negotiations to
gather in these slackers. This diplo-
matte channel was declared to be the
policy of the administration. rather
than the more drastic procedure. But
certain senators said today they were
tired of waiting for the state depart
ment to act and that diplomacy was too
slow"
No intimation was given that the bill
would be called up. 1t met with little
opposition when the VIVA voce vote was
taken.
The Senate bill, Of which Chamber
lain of Oregon, chairman of the military
affairs committee, is the author, was
altered in one important particular, 1t
now provides that while Germans and
other aliens of the central powers, such
as Austrians, Turks and Bulgarians,
cannot be made to fight; they can be
drafted and utilized for other neces-
sary purposes durng the present strin-
gencY." This means they can be used
on road work, farms. etc. Chinese, Jap
anese and others, whose treaties pro-
vide they shall not be subject here to
military duty, are exempted from the
bill.
AS passed the bill provides:
/. That all aliens here more than a
year and who have not declared their
intentions to become citizens are sub
ject to draft.
2. That they shall be exempt if their
treaties So stipulate, their diplomatic
representatives here may waive this.
In this case they are given ninety days

5 80 in the morning, which is being
done with the result that an appreciate
gain is being noticed.

Death OF A Worthy CoIored Man.

Death vi A worthy SOlOTeu Ndn'
]. NJ. Tolliver, Shepherdstown's most
thrifty colored resident, died at his home
in this place last Thursday evening,
at the age OF 90 years, 9 months and ,
days. Although he had been in wretched
health for long time, his last illness was
OF about two weeks duration. "Uncle
Mat" as he was known, was the most
industrious colored man we have ever
known. He was tireleSs worker, and
day and night labored at the many enter
prices in which he was interested. He
began business here many years ago,
when he conducted a restaurant. Later
he bought the Show property, corner OF
Main and Princess streets. and after he
was burned out there he built substantial
brick business and dwelling house, where
he lived and conducted store until his
death. In addition 10 running his grocery
and provision store and restaurant, he
conducted livery establishment, and for
a time also owned small farm north OF
TOWN, 10 which he gave considerable at
tention. He sold his farm year or two
ago, but he still kept busy and worked
to the limit OF his strength until he was
forced by increasing feebleness TO give
up. He was not only industrious to an
exceptional degree, but he was a man OF
exemplary character in every respect and
was thoroughly honest and dependable.
He is survived by his wife, a daughter
and three sons. The funeral service was
held last Sunday afternoon in the colored
Methodist Church, and was conducted
by Rev. J. N. Yearwood. assisted by
Rev. Joseph Henry, of Baltimore. The
service was attended by very large
congregation, including many white per-
sons, who thus showed their respect Tor
a worthy colored man.

SPECIAL SESSION .OF U. 5. SENATE IS ADJOURNED SINE DIE
Colombian Treaty Is With drawn by the Democrats When They See Failure
 Ahead for Passage

Washington, March 16.-The special Senate session, which began March 5, adjourned sine die after democra tic , leaders had secured confirmation oi most of the 140O nominations which failed at the last session and had despaired of attaining ratification of the s25,OoOOoO Colombian treaty.
 The treaty was unexpectedly with drawn on>motion of Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee. Its provisions for payment of indemnity to Colombia for the partition of Pan anna and it's expression of regret for the ill-feeling arising out of that in- cident had encountered a stubborn republican opposition, which appar- ently convinced the democrats there was no chance of ratification It is ex- pected a substitute pact will be ne- gotiated and submitted for the Sen- ate's approval during the extra ses- sion of Congress beginning April 16. The session just closed was the first of it's kind in many years which was not called upon to confirm a cabinet nomination. President Wilson decided that all of the members of his offi- cial family could be retained without the formality of renomination.
 Among the hundreds of nomin ations confirmed was that of Dr. Cary T. Grayson. the Presidents physician, although that nomination met pro- nounced opposition. All of the others, postmasters, judges and customs off, ficials, mostly. failed only they were banked behind the troublesome Gray son nomination.
 As the House was not in session, no legislatio could be considered.
