Murguia and Other Officials May

of Recent German Demonstration
.(By Morning Journal Special Leased wire)

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. tS.-Gen. Fran
cisco Murguia's recent visit to Juarez
with the German consul at Chihua-
hua City and party of prominent
Germans as his guests, is expected to
result in a complete change in the
military and civil officials of Chihua-
hua, according to a reliable American
mining man from Mexico.
The apparently pro-German atti-
tude of General Murguia and the Of
ficials of Chihuahua state, was called
to the attention of high Mexican Of
ficials in Mexico City, If not to Presi.
dent Carranza himself, by the visit Of
Murguia and his German friends, he
said. AS President Carranza had sent
instructions to all state officials and
military commanders that the strict
est neutrality must be maintained this
was said to have been considered az
serious indescretion and an affront
to the United States.
Germans Very Good People.
While in Juarez General Murguia
was asked by a representative of the
Associated Press for a statement
about the visit of the Germans.
His answer was:
Los Alamanes son muy buena
jentes" The Germans are very good
people"

mont, misunderstanding the war de-

structed its recruiting officers to ac-

If they had been called before their

granted, however, until the camps ac-

First Contingent of Thirty Per
Cent is to Leave for En-
Campment Sept, 10, and
Another 10 Days Later
NO EXEMPTION FOR
FOREIGN DEPENDENTS
Religious Directors to Military
Service to be Given Positions
Where Fighting viii not be
Required.


Washington, Aug. l3.--The entire
GS7 ,000 men composing the first in
crement of the army draft forces will
be under training early in october
Under orders issued today, the first
so per cent of the quota Of each dis
trict will begin entrainment for cam
80 per cent September 15, and anoth-
er 80 per cent September 80. The re-
naming 10 per cent will be mobiized
as soon after that date as possible.
The plan to assemble the new
force in three increments distributes
the task of furnishing supplies and
equipment through September. II
will also prevent serious shortages in
any camp and give the new officers
from the training camps time to fa-
miliarize themselves with their du-
ties gradually before responsibility
for great body of men falls on them
The order issued today means that
about 10000 men will reach each OF,
The sixteen cantonments soon after
September 3. The first will be exam
med. physically by army doctors and
finally. accepted or rejected.
VIII Form skeleton Companies.
Presumably the first increment will
have been organized into skeleton COM
panies before the second arrives. The
newcomers can he quickly absorbed by
going concern in that case, and the
third lot can be taken into the war
machinery with even less disturbance
when it reports fifteen days later,
In farming communities local
boards will arrange the lists Of those
to fill the first increment with local
crop conditions in mind. Drafted
men engaged in that work and who
otherwise would go with the first third
of the district quota would be passed
over to the second or third, as may
be necessary.
Not Cause for Exemption.
Reviewing the question Of dis.
charge for dependent relatives, Pro-
! vost Marshal General Crowder issued
a supplementary ruling today holding
that persons should not be discharged
because of dependents resident
abroad.
THE object of the law permitting
persons to be discharged provided
they have persons falling within any
Of the classes of dependents depend
ent upon them was to prevent such de-
pendent becoming charge upon the
American people, the ruling says
"A dependent residing abroad could
not become such charge. Persons
claiming discharge because of such II
dependent cannot properly be dis
charged on ground that such dis
charge Is advisable within the mean
ing of the act of congress-"
Religious DIRECTORS.
That conscientious objectors to war
are not to be excused entirely from
serving the country was made clear
in another ruling by the provost mar

should be sent to the mobilization
camps along with others drafted, to
be assigned later to -combatant
branches of the service. 1t is pre-

The visit of the Mexican and Ger
man party also is known to have
caused friction between Murguia and
the local Juarez officials who ex-
pressed a realization of the unfavor-
able effect of such a visit at this time
Every effort was made to prevent the
visiting Germans from making pro-
German speeches and disseminating
their propaganda while in Juarez. The
action was said to have offended Cen
eral Murguia.
Americans Resented IL.
The fact that all American army
officials declined invitations to the
fiesta in honor of General Murguia in
Juarez was sent to Mexico City as al
indication that the affair had been
considered by the Americans as an
unfriendly act.
In addition to Murguia and his
brother, Gen. Jose Carlos Murguia OF
Juarez, Governor Arnulfo Gonzales
the JuareZ customs collector, and
other state and federal officials are
reported to be slated for removal or
transfer. One report received from
Chihuahua City said Murguia was to
fight the Zapata forces in the state
OF Morelos. Gen. Joaquin Amaro and
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales have been
mentioned as his successor.

AMERICAN NAVY MAY
SEARCH GULF COAST


Washington, Aug. 13.-Renewed
reports of hidden German wireless
stations Or supply bases on the Mexi-
can gulf coast may lead to search
of those waters by American warships.
Reports to the state department
and navy department contain no con-
firmation of the report of discovery of
wireless stations on Lobos island and
the coast of Campeche, but it was in
dicated that a careful scrutiny OF
southern waters might be made for
traces Of German radios or supply
craft.
Officials are inclined to minimize
the reports of wireless stations but a
theory that German small craft may
be operating along the coast is not
taken SO lightly.
Campeche is a district almost iso-
lated from the interior by immense
stretches of jungle and officials admit
that agents of Germany might carry
on the supplying of German small
ships for a long time without detec-
ton.

Washington Aug. l3.-General de-
bate in the senate on the war tax bill
is expected to close tomorrow Chair
man Simmons of the finance COM
mittee announced late today that only
two more senators had signified their
intention Of speaking, and that he
would move to take up the committee
amendments as soon as they have been
heard.
Senators Penrose and McCumber,
republican members Of the committee,
spoke at length during the day in sup
of the bill which they declared had
been revised in a bipartisan spirit
Senator Penrose said that while he
had voted against the revenue meas
ures since the present administration
came into powers, because they
marked a departure in the fiscal
policy of the United States by largely
abandoning the tariff as the source
of revenue and resorting to direct
taxation, the situation is different now
and the American government has
never hesitated to raise revenue by
direct taxation and loans when re-
quired to do by state of war. The
taxpayer must bear in mind, he said
that the bill is temporary in opera
ton and when the war is over the
whole tax system of the country will
be revised

VIII Need High Tariff.

VIII Need High Tariff.
After the close of the war, Senator
Penrose said, the United States more
than ever would need a high tariff
to maintain its industrial prosper
ity
The Pennsylvania senator criticised
the administration for delay in set
tling controversies with manufacturers
declaring relentless prosecution of the
war was being held up and that an
element of uncertainty as to the
amount of revenue to be derived had
the tax bill
1T seems to me-" he added, reser-
ring to disputes over prices of war
material, THAT speed and prompt de-
livery is the essence of the emergency.
One hundred million dollars is being
spent, it is said, each day by the al
lies, or one billion dollars every ten
days, and it is estimated that 10000
men are being killed each day on
the allies side. In this tremendous
crisis, speedy delivery constitutes the
most imperatively essential element .
Predicts. Long War.
Senator McCumber predicted a wal
of at least four years and expenditure
of $40, 900, 100000. He said the bill
was just the beginning of the taxes
which must be levied but declared
the future generation should pay the
greater part of the cost as the present
one will furnish the men and supply
them with the materials which will
be necessary to crush German auto
cracy.
During the debate, Senator Reed
made another attack upon Herbert
c. Hoover, asserting that the food ad-
ministrator's statement Of his plan to
control wheat, flour and bread was
the decree of a dictator.

That the registration OF military

be completed with the week is the be-
lief of the officials WHO have charge
Of the work at police headquarters.
Clement Wong, the registrar, who has
had charge Of enrolling tie citizens
OF this country who are OF military
age, estimates that the total regis
tration will hit the 1900 mark. A
few scattered cards are handed in
now and then, but the majority Of rec
ords are largely on file.
At present David Kalauokalani at
the capitol building has all of the
cards, and a staff Of clerks under him
is working to file them away and re-
cord their stories. As soon as this
work is completed, Registrar Wong
will be able to tell the exact figures.
Only two new Stacker cases have been
reported recently, those being the two
Hawaiians from Maui, who were re-
leased on $1,000 bail each. Wong reg
istered these men yesterday. They
are Manuel Kama and Charles Kama.

LETTERS
ARoLIsHING DEATH PENALT

Editor Honolulu StarBulletin,
Sir: The other day l was speaking
to friend Of mine about the legalized
crime of capital punishment as it
now exists in these islands, and also
in some OF the states ip the United
States, and she said: Yes, but | be-
lieve there are instances where it is
necessary and right to use the more
drastic measure and give the death
penalty"
In thinking about the remarks al
forwards concluded that it might
make a difference whose boy it is
who is to receive the sentence
If 1t were my boy, l am sure that
no matter what he may have done
in the way of crime, my mother heart
would always plead that his life be
spared, though he might have to
spend all the rest of his days. behind
prison walls. No mother would ever
think her boy should be given the
maximum penalty for any crime.
Any person that kills another is ir-
responsible because he is unbalanced
mentally and morally sick. Hate
ceases not by hate but by love.
The way for our modern Christian
civilization to lessen and finally stop
the crime OF murder is to stop set
ting the example-abolish capital pun
ishment. No man should ever say
that he is glad that his state still
holds the death law. There will come
a time in which this barbaric custom
of legaliZed murder will be wiped out
all over our beautiful land. 1t is said
that in the states where capital pun
ishment has been abolished crime has
not increased.
There is 4 movement nationwide
now on to repeal the death laws in
the United States.
Dear old Missouri, that always has
to be shown" has made good this
time and joined the ranks making y
states that have laid aside their death
traps. A petition to abolish capital
under U. S. law will go
to congress this winter from every
state in the Union.
What are the good people of Homo
lulu and these islands going to do in
regard to this question of life and
death? Are we going to be lag
CARDS in the race? Will any come for
ward and stand for the right treat
ment, the humane and sane treatment
of criminals in these islands?
Why don't we cut the gOrdian knot
Of all intricate niceties and fictions
of the law, tear down the death glib
bet and drive the hangman from Ha-
wall nei forever?
Sincerely yours.
MARTHA E. TOWNSEND.
