NJ DREAD OF
 REAL SERIOUS
 DISTURBANCES
TRepublican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Depart- ment of justice officials are of the opinion that the situation with respect to the draft army registration Tuesday is well in hand. that there will be no really serious disturbances, and that the nation will wake up Wednesday to find that outbursts have been sporadic and not the result of a general feeling against the law.
 It was pointed out at the department tonight that more than 10,000,00O men are required to register under the law and that it would be surprising in deed if such a day were to pass off without incident, as no general cleo ton ever held in this country passes without some disorder
 Attorney General Gregory's orders had caused the arrest of about 30 per sons tip today in connection with anti-draft propaganda. Only a few more, probably less than a half dozen, are expected before Tuesday. Such a showing is looked upon as extraor- dinary and as convincing indication that despite oratory against registra = ton and the few conspiracies discov- cred to interfere with it or prevent the response of the men of draft age, there has ben no substantial movement to defeat the purpose of the law.
 The department expects that there may be a number of evasions of the registration provision that will look large in total but not when the great number subject to the flaw is consid . cred. Many even of those who do evade Tuesday are counted upon eventually to come forward to make good without prosecution. It was as- serted tonight that out of the ten million the slackers will not number one in one hundred.
 Attorney General Gregory reiterated his request that local organizations aid in the work of seeing that every man between 21 and 30 years of age in their communities registers his name.
 "The department" he said, has been greatly aided in several instances by volunteer organizations in cities and towns which have compiled records and held them available for the de- partment's use and also have furnished valuable information to it's agents. Assistance of the sort referred to is of great value and will be gladly re- ceived
 q urge patriotic men in every sec tion of the country to perfect organiZ- 1tions which will see to the registra> tion of all names in their communities, preserving notes showing the personal sympathies and activities of individ- uals. I do not suggest methods in de- tail, as these may be worked out by the men who are willing to act and are not otherwise engaged in serving their country

SLOW PROGRESS IN
 GETTING JURY FUR
 MRS. MOONEY TRIAL
rpenuhlicsn A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, June Five ad- ditional talesmen excused by peremp- tory challenges, seven sworn jurors left in the box with three temporary veniremen subject to challenge, and the censJring of men who sought to evade jury duty, were the outstanding features of the trial today of Mrs Rena Mooney in the superior court here Mrs. Mooney is charged with murder in connection with bomb ex- Dlosion which killed ten persons here last July.
 An over abundance of peremptory challenges is apparently responsible for the slow progress being made Tn obtaining a jury. A ruling by Judge Emmet Seawell gave both the prescott tion and defense double the ordinary number of challenges.
 Thomas O'Connor, of counsel for Mrs Mooney asked for time in order to confer with his associates before ex- ercising the remainder of his peremp- tory challenges. Judge Seawell grant ed the request.
 Mayor James Rolph. Jr., today heard a delegation representing or ganized labor protest against District Attorney Charles M. Fickert's staff prosecuting Frank c. Oxman, held to answer to the superior court for al legged attempts to suborn perjury in the trial of Thomas J. Mooney, Mrs. Mooneys husband, who was convicted and sentenced to death. The mayor said the district attorneys office was not part of the city government, but promised to investigate certain state ments made by the labor men.

COALITION TALK
 RIFE IN CANADA

OTTAWA, Ont, June 1.-Premier Borden called upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the opposition leader late today and asked his assistance in forming a coalition ministry.
 1t was reported upon reliable au- thority that the premier offered to allow Sir Wilfrid to name half the members of the new government and to grant the liberals authority equal to that given the conserva- tives on all questions of admins tration.
 The condition attached to the proposal was that if voluntary en- listment after a fair trial, did not provide the number of men neces- sary to keep the five Canadian div isicns now in oversea service up to strength, a measure of compulsory service should be put into effect.
