Clerk Devin Writes For Same
But Receives No
Answer
SEEKS METHOD FOR
ARRIVING AT QUOTA
Possible That All Eniistments
From County Not
Credited

The draft exemption board for Knox
county has not yet received any Of
fetal notice Of Knox county's quota for
the first call 1t is well understood that
the county must furnish "a men, but
authoritative information is lacking.
Clerk III. c. Devin OF the board has
twice written Gen. Turney about the
county's quota but has received no
answer presumably because CT the
fact that Gen. Turney's office is very
busy place nowadays.
Mr. Devin is also anxious to ascer-
tain just how Knox countys quota
was arrived at. lie is Of the opinion
that not all credits for enlistments
due the county have been allowed and
points out that Battery Il has an en-
rollment OF nearly 200 men; that "a
men enlisted with Recruiting Officer
Emich and that others have joined the
medical reserve corps or are in train
ing at Fort Benjamin Harrison for the
federal officers reserve corps. No pro-
test has been made by the local board
on the county's quota, principally be.
cause there is no basis for protest.
1t lis to find out whether such a basis
exists that Mr.. Devin is attempting to
get more details about the method OF
arriving at the quota.
The board had not received Friday
morning its two master sheets of the
drawing at Washington, nor blanks
for claims Tor exemptions on account
of occupations. Although these lat
ter claims do not come before the To-
cal board, It is understood that local
boards are to handle the blanks.
The local board Is being asked con-
stantly to supply information to young
men of the county as TO what their
places are ON the lists. Until the
master sheets arrive and until these
have been gone through and the
names listed in the order in which
they were drawn, this is impossible.

Wife OF Pastor Has Evidence
OF Alibi, She
Claims
PORTLAND REACHED
AT NOON SATURDAY
Confidence Expressed That
Husband Will Be
Exonerated

A postal card received by Mrs. G.. II.
Dye of East Vine street, wife of the
pastor of the local Baptist church,
now out on bail in Portland, Oregon,
on charge of setting fire to a build
ing to collect $2,500 in insurance, is to
the effect that the writer, Dr. Dye, ar.
rived in Portland Saturday noon.
This, in the opinion Of Mrs. Dye, es-
tablished an alibi for her husband as
the fire, reported in The Banner Thurs
day by an Associated Press telegram,
occurred the evening before DR.. Dye
arrived in Portland-on Friday night,
July 20.
The following is the text of the post
card, personal portions being elminat-
ed:
Portland, Ore, July 81.
Dears-I arrived and put up my tent
today by noon. Address mail "
Am now on my way to postofficc and
city hall. Also to see Agent Payne
News later. G. r. ID.
Mrs. Dye states that the agent re.
ferred to has been in charge of Dr.
Dyes Portland property.
A typographical error in the dis
patch from Portland in The Banner
Thursday made the story read that
DR.. Dye was arrested Tuesday for set
ting fire to house Tuesday. This
last day should have been Friday.
The tent referred to is the means
Of shelter adopted by Dr. Dye during
his stay in Portland. 1t had been his
plan to spend the time out of doors and
he, accordingly, chose this method.
Mrs Dye talked to The Banner
Thursday afternoon, expressing conf
dence that her husband will be abso
lutely vindicated. Even before the
message giving details of the affair
was received by The Banner, Mrs
| Dye had stated that the charge could
not be true and said it in such tone
that implied conviction.
