DRAFT BOARDS AWAIT
WORD TO FINISH WORK
Urge That Examination of Bal
ance of List Be Completed
Before Forces Disband

District Appeal Boards Nos. 1 and and
the ffty-one local draft boards are now
anXiously awaiting word from washington
as to whether they may proceed with the
examination OF the balance Of the regis
traton list, now that they have well nigh
finished the first 100 per cent quota OF certt-
fed names.
The officials, clerks and secretaries OF
these various boards say that II would be
folly to disband now, when they have reach
ed a systematic handling Of the draft re-
quirementS. II the present forces were
dropped by discontnuance Of the draft Sc
lection at this time, they say that the costly
experience gained through SO many weeks
of hard work and sacrifice would be lost,
and the same period of delay and incon-
venience would have to be repeated when
the next draft call Is issued.
Edward +. Swift chairman Of the draft
board of the eighth district Is calling for
a 20 per cent raise In wages for the clerical
and medical forces. He maintained that
the Government wage Of 50 so a day for the
draft clerks is too low, and that they should
receive at least SO.
He further contends that the physicians
are underpaid, They receive ten cents for
each examination and are not allowed to
examine more than forty a day

SUSPECT INCENDTARISM
IN STOCKYARDS BLAZE
1000 Cattle and $500 Hogs
Burned to Death in Fire
Which Cost S750,O0O
KANSAS CITY, Mo, oct. /


Officers of the Kansas City stockyards
were busy today denying reports that the
fire which yesterday destroyed a large part
Of the yards was Of incendiary origin, and
the result Of a German plot. Approximately
1900 cattle and 5000 hogs were burned TO
death. The loss is placed at s75O,O
The charge Of incendlarlsm was based
largely upon the assertions Of Lieutenant e.
J. Bshoff, of the first fire company to arrive
at the yards after the alarm had been re-
ceived, who said that three fires were burn
ing fully 1000 yards apart, in different por-
tlons Of tho yards.
George r. Collett, general manager Of
the stock yards, declared he believed the fire
resulted from natural causes and that the
wind had blown sparks from the first fire.
starting the other two blazes Private de-
tectives, however, were said to be inves-
tigating the inCendiary rumorS.
The work of clearing away the debris for
the reconstruction of the destroyed pens and
buildings began at once.
Hundreds of cattle liberated from the
burning structures reached the downtown
sections of both Kansas City, Mo, and
Kansas City, Kan. 1t was the third dis
astrous fire in the history OF the Kan
sas City stocl5yards. The blaze was dis
covered by two patrolmen in Kansas City,
Kan, and before they could summon ap-
paratus the fire had become unmanage-
able Fire departments from both Kansas
Cities combated the flames.
The thousands of cattle which were lib
Grated from the pens are being corralled,
owners experienced difficulty identifying
their property as a large percentage u
the stock was from farm herds and car
ried no identifying brands.
During the early hours OF the fire rifle
men and sledge hammer bearers under the
direction of the Humane Society officers
went about the stocSyards killing disabled
animals.
The Kansas City stockyards are owned
and controlled by a corporation, many
of the officers Of which are eastern men,
and large amount Of the stock Is held in
the East.
