SPRINGFIELD. Mo, June 9.-Baby Lloyd Rect was found dead today. The child had been drowned in a well on an abandoned farm at least four days ago. according to the findings from an autopsy. when the band of kidnapers who took him from his home Wednes- day night of last week. begin to fear capture. Tonight. scores of Spring field men in automobiles were hurry ing in pursuit of the county sheriff s automobile in which seven persons suspected of complicity in the kidnap ing and murder were being speeded to the state prison at Jefferson City. Openly the pursuers have declared their intention of taking summary vengeance upon the perpetrators of the crime
 The body of the IA months old child was found shortly before noon today by a sheriffs posse which had gone to q haunted" house long since aban- doned in the Ozark mountains, eight miles southwest of here. In some way not yet explained the sheriff was told last night that trace of the child could be found on the farm. Straightaway he left Springfield with deputies and the long search began before mid night.

 RUSSIANS

Thirty seven Russian Molokans yes terday accepted jail rather than sign the selective draft registration blanks. When they were taken from the court room in the court house to the county jail by United States Marshal Dillon there was such a scene as has never before been witnessed in this country religious zealots leaving wlVes, children and friends for prison rather than abide by the requirements or law they believe counter to the command of God.
 "Hi-yahl Hi-yah."
 Shrill female voices blended with the bass notes of the men. It was woman who started it, and in a twinkling the court room was alive with motion. Wild cries such as only Russian could give mingled with the stamping of scores of feet-for the religious dance of estacsy was commenced.
 'Hi-yah," shouted the men and wo- men while in rythmic whirl they in dividually jumped about. Jumpers" they had called themselves in their af-
 fidavit of refusal to register, and none who witnessed the striking spectacle needed to be told why the name was ]! bestowed.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-Twenty- six states and the district of Columbia, having all told slightly more than 50 per cent of the country's population, had sent in complete reports of their military registration tonight showing total registrations of 4,116, 769 young men for war service.
 For the territory reporting the cen sus estimate was 5,372 ,596 eligibles, and on the basis of the returns it was calculated the grand total of registra- ton probably would be close to nine million in place of 10,264, 900 as fore cast by the census experts.
 The reports showed white registra- tions totalling 3,501,45 colored 634,- ITO; alien 277,057 and enemy aliens 45,01S. Possible exemptions indicated totalled 2,50S,624
 Officials pointed out tonight that the census figures were intended only as approximate and that the discrep- ancy should not be taken as indicat- ing evasion of the draft. It was also pointed out that between 500,000 and 100000 men included in the estimate already are members of the armed forces of the nation and therefore did not register.
 Many of the states which previous ly reported complete returns are send ing supplemental reports adding to their totals. Delay in registrations especially among those who registered by mail. is responsible. This shifting of totals may delay a final tabulatior for week or more.

 WASHINGTON, June 9.-Convinced hat valuable naval information is 'eaching the enemy, Secretary Daniels issued an order today at the urgent request of Admiral Benson, chief of operations forbidding all persons in he naval service from discussing ex- ept officially, even among themselves )r with the members of their families, any question relating to the disposi- ion. movements, or proposed move nents of naval or military forces
 The department acted upon state ments of officers of the intelligence decisions who had reported that infor- nation, the nature of which was not disclosed, had leaked through to Ger many. MT. Daniels said he had hes tated to issue the order for many avs, not desiring to hamper unduly officers and others in the service; but lis military advisers had been very lrgent. There was no thought he said, hat any person in the navy had re- -ealed the plans of the department ex- ept through inadvertence.
 The secretary pointed out that ex- >eriences of the allies had shown that he very unimportant seeming news vas sometimes a sufficient clue for an tlert foe to determine a movement in advance.
 The purposes of the department are 'ully explained in the order which Secretary Daniels was careful to ex- ,lain did not refer to the press and vas in no sense an effort to prevent he newspapers from getting news.

 The German army, under Crown
 ently has not recovered from the blow
 made against its lines south of Ypres
 by the second British army Thursday.
 Shaken by the mine explosions and the
 terrific bombardment of the British
 guns. the Germans lost more than 1000 prisoners and have made no strong ef fort to retake the lost positions. Their unavailing attacks of Friday having been stopped, the Germans Sat urday failed to renew their attempt and were content to use only their artil lery in a duel with the British The newly gained ground having been torn by the mine explosions and filled with shell craters, the British were busy Saturday in organizing their new posi- tions. They found time, however, to extend their gains slightly on the right flank of the nine mile front.
 In addition to losing more than 1000 prisoners in the British drive and the 1 subsequent fighting since Thursday 1 morning, the Germans lost a large l number of guns, machine guns and 1 trench mOrtars

RUTTE. Mont. June 9.-All hope that any of the unaccounted for miners believed to number more than l75, had escaped from the North Butte mines in which fire broke out late last night was abandoned tonight when the hel- met men penetrated to the 2,20O-toot level of the SpeculatOr mine from ad- joining mines, waded through water up to their armpits, encountered strong gas and saw many bodies which they were unable to recover. Forty dead had been taken out up to tonight.
 It had been planned to attempt to hoist eleven bodies through the High Ore mine of the Anaconda Mining company but shifting in the air cur rents drove out the helmet men and to prevent the High Ore mine and others from filling with gas, bulkheadlng was started early tonight and the bodies will be walled in with concrete until some future day when the eXtinguish- ing of the fire will permit their re- covery.
 The fire started on the 2,400-foot level when a carbide lamp came in con- tact with insulation on an electric cable The granite mountain shaft has caved in for a considerable distance.
 The city has gone into mourning. Flags are at half mast and all public amusements have been suspended.
 The entire mine rescue organization of Butte is at work.
 Helmet men, when the 2,200-foot level was reached, rang the danger signal which caused the widest excitement it being believed that the signal had come from entrapped men who still were alive. Ambulances were called and every physician in the city hurriedly summoned to the North Butte. The return of the helmet men to the surface with news that it was impossible for any human to live in the dense gas fill- ing the lower workings of the North Butte spread gloom.
 The granite mountain shaft $500 feet deep, was roaring chimney and with 1he destruction of it's supporting tim bers the ground is caving. compelling all work to be directed from the levels connecting with adjoining mines.
 The Speculator, another shaft about 500 feet distant, connects with the Granite mountain on different levels
 Tonight that shaft was also in dan ger. as water from the levels was run ming into it and had caVed a portion There was no fire in this shaft. Tons of water are being poured into the granite mountain shaft and from points on levels connecting with adjoining mines as near as it is possible to get to the scene of the accident.

 Assistant United States District At torney John H. Langston presided dur ing the remarkable proceedings in the courtroom. The leaders of the sect had promised to come to the court house at o'clock. They were more than prompt At 7: A o'clock they left Glendale in a car, which they filled beyond the limit of comfort. All the way in they sang their hymns, wonderful chants in Rus sian. Men, women, children and babies were in the gathering for many of men facing prison for their stubborn stand as fathers and good fathers, too. After leaving the car in Phoenix they formed sort of phalanx and marched to the court house where they again sang hymns and held an impromptu service at the court house steps.
 At o'clock they went to the court room from which all were excluded save the Russians, officers of the law and those with legitimate business there. Judge Langston explained the law to the Russians. He told them that he was confident if they signed they would not be drafted but that he did not feel empowered to say that they certainly would not be taken. He was kindness itself and his remarks, fol- lowing upon the heels of words from some of the best friends the Molokans have, were respectfully listened to.

They are well armed. The Indian agent at Ignacio, headquarters of the reservation, refused to comment on the report.
 Reports from towns near the reser- vation are that families living on out lying ranches are moving into town because they fear trouble from the h. dians. Confirmation of the reports is practically impossible owing to diff ficulties of communication, but citi- Zens of six towns reached by telephone from here describe the situation as alarming.

SAN JUAN, Del Sur. Nicaragua June D. Although the earthquake which shook San Salvador, capital of Salvador. and neighboring towns Thursday evening, caused considera ble destruction of property, it is not be- lieved that loss of life was very great. However, no authentic information of the casualties and damage caused by the earthquake and the simultaneous eruption of the San Salvador volcano Is yet obtainable.
 Some of the principal commercial houses and theaters in San Salvador
 were destroyed, as were hundreds of
 homes. The neighboring towns of Ar menia and QueZalteheque were virtu- ally wiped out and most of the cas- ualties caused by the disaster occurred there. The large town of Santa Tee

 dor but are diminishing in intensity. The residents of the Salvadorean capital, according to the accounts of eye witnesses, were finishing the evening meal when the city and the surrounding towns began to shake at ( clock InurSday evening. Almost simultaneously the San Salvador vol
 canO began to throw out lava and | ashes through three freshly opened
