THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE S. 1917
ONG bUE UPON STAND IN H|S
 OWN DEFENSE

Except for the testimony of two or thre witnesses in rebuttal the case IT Ong Bue, charged with the mur- der of John Holt, a fifteen -year-old toy at Mesa, was concluded yester- day The case of the state had rest ed the night before and testimony for the defendant was put or. One of the witnesses was a sma'l boy, Will lie Montgomery. who said that a few nights before the shoting he had heard young Holt say in a candy shop where the witness was employed, that something is going to happen to Chinaman in this town" and that Chinaman is going to get him. self into trouble" On cross examina- tion the witness sad that he had heard Holt complain that the Chine man had threatened him and had called him names.
 The defendant himself took the stand and claimed that the shooting was in self defense. Ong Bue said that he was 19 years of ago and had been born at certain date of the Chinese calendar which was turned into the Gregorian calendar by an mterpreter from )the immigration bureau. Generally though, the de- fendant could make himself under stood in English. He came to this country III l9ll.
 He said he had first had trouble with Holt while employed as waiter in the American Kitchen at Mesa One day Holt called for a 9 cent meal and was so long eating and ob- structing business that the defendant admonished him. After that he had been frequently threatened by Holt.
 On the evening of the shooting, he said he had just left the restau- rant and started along the stret. Holt following him. He said he was not aware of the presence of Holt until he arrived at a vacant lot when Holt passed him and stepped into it. He said that Holt knocked him down and as he had partly risen from the ground Holt reached toward his hip pocket when the defendant drew his gun and fired.
 Refuting the testimony of one of the witnesses that he had heard Hol; say, just before the shooting that he would go no further. the defendant said that no declaration of that kind was made. He denied also that he had preceded Holt $pto the vacant lot where the shooting took place.

4sary to meet these needs, which absolutely must be met if the war is to be won, or even is to be carried on at all during the next year, must be immediately greater than they have been in normal times.
 The requirements in cereals alone for thei next year of the allies, and the few neutrals whose needs must be given some consideration, are billion bushels. The needs of meat, fats. and sugar also are enormous. Native production and imports from other countries can meet but part of these requirements; what is left must come from us, yet this amount is far beyond any surplus that we shall have if we try to maintain our normal consumption. Our wheat prospects flor this year are not en- couraging. A reasonable forecast would indicate a crop of between 650000.O00 and 100000 bushels. We have never exported more than 500,- 000,000 bushels of cereals in a year. yet the needs abroad are for twice that amount.
 "The moral is clear; our consump- tion must be reduced This can be done, first, by elimination of waste; second, by the substitution for the kinds of food needed by the allies Of food not so needed. but which we can

trary, to show that there was sur prisingly small number of skulkers
 Total figures from seven states and the District of Columbia reported when the provost marshal generals office closed tonight showed S16,407 men registered approximately 32 800 below the census ratio. Should that average hold for all the states, it would mean total decrease of about 100000. The army, navy, marine corps and the na- tional guard, included in the population figures upon which the census esti- mates are based, would more than off set the decrease.
 Representative Park of Georgia sought further legal measures today to deal with slackers. In a bill intro- duced in the house he proposed that men who failed to register be dis franchised for the duration of the war
 AdditiOnai requests for registration cards were received today from several consuls and the shipments were made promptly.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder 1 issued this statement tonight:
 Some published press reports are to the effect that figures received in the office of the provost marshal gen. eral indicate millions of claims of ex- emptions. These reports consist Of conclusions enormously drawn and very unjust to the young men of the country. As a matter of fact, no claims whatever have been called for or re- ceiVed.
 Registration cards contain some questions that asked solely for statis- tical reasons. The answers to these questions are tabuated in such a way as to show how many registered men are executive, judicial or legislative officers of the state or nation how many have wives or other relatives dependent upon them for support; how many are totally disabled, and how many belong to religious sects opposed to war in any form or are ordained ministers or engaged in certain in dustries.
 Absolutely no statistics of this kind | were eXtant before the registration, and such statistics were necessary in drafting regulations. Within these statistics are included the cards of a great proportion who expressly stated i that they intended to claim no exemp- tions and of a vast. number of others | who made no statements whatever concerning exemptions.
 Indeed, there is no index of the number of exemptions that will be 1 claimed in the. office of the provost marshal general. Every effort should be made to eradicate the impression that has been given by the press re- ports mentioned above"

ORGANIZED MOVEMENT ON
TO GET STATE HIGHWAY.

A fair sized delegation from
both Clinton and Hickman met at
Fulton, with the Fulton CONNER
cial Club, Friday night for the
purpose of discussing ways and
means of proceeding to influence
the State authorities TO change
their original plan of terminal
ing the proposed government aid
at Wickliffe, KY. and
to make said highway terminate
at Hickman, Ky=the feasible.
practical and theoretical terminus
In any event the road will
come as far as Mayfield. start
ing from the extreme eastern
boundary of the State. What
we vSnt, is To swing the route
south instead of north. By so
doing, we couple this highway
with the Memphis-Paducah High
way, giving us a connecting link
withSthe entire South otherwise
the great thoroughfare would
have a 'dead end" at Wickliffe.
This fact has been forcably
brought to bear upon the Board
of Sinking Fund Commissioners !;
and the argument made before
them at Frankfort was so impress
sive that they have held in "a
beyance their original plan and
propose TO give us serious consid-

Sherman Goodpasture, treasurer;

Frankfort. A good plan is
to send a telegram worded some
thing like this: "You are earn

garding cross state highway. En-

In addition to this pressure, the
meeting decided to circulate pc
