SALOON = CAFES SOAKED BY
ScHUETTLER AS FRAUDS

Chief of Police Schuettler is COM
pleting an investigation that may
strike about 500 saloonkeepers as
evaders of the Sunday closing law by
fraudulent use of a restaurant
license to mask their real purpose in
staying open. t
Since the beginning of the Sunday
closing squabble a great number of
bars have started operating cafes in
connection with their drinking
rooms. These are subterfuges,
Schuettler says. He is going to re-
port to the mayor on alleged viola
lions.
Mayor Thompson yesterday re-
voked the license of the saloon of
George Graham at 1914 S. State
after repeated charges of big gam
bling and closing law violations were
made.

Men Married During War
Not to Escape Service

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Men OF
military age who have married since
a state of war against Germany was
declared will not escape their OBJ
uaation Of military service, under a
war department policy formally an
nounced today. The departments
statement follows:
"The war department announces
that all men married since the out
break OF war Will be treated upon
the same basis as unmarried men,
in so far IS their military obliga-
+ions are concerned. It Is desired that
the utmost publicity be given by the
press to this announcement"
The department was moved to take
this action in order that all men
should understand exactly what is
contemplated in the organization Of
an army to fight Germany. It was
desired that there should arise no
question of slackers on the score of
marriages contracted since tho ont
.;reak of war, with the posSthla Goa
struction that the marriage in any
case was hastened in order that mill
tary duty might be evaded-

TRIAL BY :.
P0PULACE
ACQU|TS
(BY H. r.. CRoSS.)

MRS. Carrie f. Herndon, principal of
the Irving school of Hammond. had her
inning last evening.
Her purity impugned by innuendo and
ahusion, she arranged trial by the
populace after the manner of the old
Greeks when public official was at
tackled. Mrs. Herndon's dismissal nv
the board Of education appears less i'm
minent today the result of her ex-
oneration last evening of charges of
misappropriating school funds and i'm
proper conduct with pupils
Mrs. Herndon's character witnesses
were of the highest and included Pro-
fessor John NJ. Grove of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, associate teachers, and
the presidents of the Irving School Par
ents' club during the five years Of her
service. But the most effective testi-
monies of her womanhood came from
two young people she had befriended
and who lived with her in the little
brown bun ngalow" during the time Of the
cigaret cures for boys. which gave rise
TO the serious but vague charges made
before the board of education some time
ago by those seeking to oust Mrs. Hern-
don. Jose Fradgley and Van Jones
We're these witnesses and what they
told of the home life of Mrs. Herndon
showed ii to be exemplary and Chris
tian. They denied. as did boys who took
the cigarette cure. which included calo-
mel. salts, hot baths and lemonade. that

the boys she sought to cure of the to-
bacco habit. 1t was also stated by the
boys that the cigarette worked.
Whether Mrs. Herndon in her en-
thusiasm overstepped the bounds Of a
school principal in taking boys into her
home and administering the cigarette
cure. appears to be the main question
lef; 10 decide by the board in passing
on tn petitions to dismiss her

petition asking that she no longer be re-
tanned. Mrs Herndon last evening pre-
sented petitions bearing 172 names de-
mandng she be continued in office.
Mrs Herndon was cleared the
charge of misconduct by the testimony
Of the boys who had taken the cigarette
cure. and it was shown she was not
cruel in punishment by the questioning
Of the boys who had been whipped by
her. Receipted bills, Cancelled checks
and the records of the financial secre-
tary of the Parents club were con-
elusive proof that she had not misap-
propriated any of the money secured
through school entertainments. and did
not get "rake-off" on the moving pic
ture machine The one other charge,
that questioning her sanity. was drown

Former President Explains His
Attitude as to the Expedi-
tionary Army Plan

NEW YORK, April 21.-Col.
Roosevelt struck back today at
those who have been using his
plan for raising a division or
troops as an argument against
obligatory service. In the first in
terview he has granted on his army
plan, given to the United Press, he
reiterated strongly his demand for
universal obligatory service, coupl
ed with a plea that while the COM
pulsory system was being made
operative a volunteer force be sent
abroad.
Il do not want to be put in the
position of saying to my fellow
countrymen, Go to war I want
to be in the position of saying,
Come to war, am going with
you, ne declared.
I wish we already had universal
training system in this country. but
we are Great Britain was as the
war broke out. She had disregarded
Lord Roberts advice to have universal
military service. She was wrong in do
ing that.
But it would have been a capital
mistake if at the time of the war start
ed she had declined TO send a division
to Belgium and refused to accept vol
unteers from Canada and Australia on
the plea that she intended to do nothing
in the theory of obligatory military
service.
What she ought to have done was
to send her expeditionary army exactly
as she did. to use the volunteers exactly
as she did and instantly to introduce
the system of obligatory service also
That is precisely what we should do.
With all my heart l approve the presi-
dents plan for universal service. both
for the present war and as permanent
policy. But we ought to utilize volun-
teers who would not be reached under
that plan
