WASHINGTON, June II. -
That spy or traitor to the gov
eminent is operating in the navy
department of the proving
grounds at Indian Head, WAS the
declaration of Secretary Daniels
before the senate naval affairs
committee today.
Daniels charges developed
when Senator Frelinghuysen, New
Jersey, presented copies of conf
dental reports bearing on ord
nance, which he said had been
sent him in an anonymous letter.
The reports were designated to
substantiate charges of laxity
which resulted in the accidents
aboard the American liners Mon
golia and st. Louis during gun
practice.
Following the sensational dis
closures before the senate naval
affairs committee the committee
this afternoon ordered sweeping
investigation of defects in ord
nance and ammunition, communi-
Gated to Senator Frelinghuysen.

judgment of this jury to the peo-
pie of the state of Washington

I'VE have no quarrel with the
people of Seattle in this matter.
The people and the newspapers
OF Seattle have behaved hand
somely, as | have so often said
and which we all know. 1t is quite
true that individuals in Seattle

that city being their spokesman
opposed the change with all the
energy they could-and that they
prevailed--prevailed chiefly be-
cause they asked the court to do
the things that the court self
wanted to do-sustained itself.
But this charge was not TO be
laid against the city of Sea tile as
a whole. There are individuals
ald individuals In every commu-
nifty, some of them very poor citi-
zens-slackers and traitors are to
be found even in time of stress in
the best of causes and cities and
countries.
Il shall have to speak of some
citizens OF this city who, be-
lieve, did our cause more harm
than did the real estate agent of
Seattle who financed the opposi-
ton.
For l propose to write the
story of the hearing at Washing

citizen of Tacoma.

of one of the most surprising ex-
periences of my life. 1t is too

Although the exemption regu-
lations are still I'm the formative
stage. II is known that President
Wilson himself will pass upon
the members of the appellate
boards or exemption boards of
appeal. Only men of the high
est standing in each community
will be picked for these vital po-
sitions.
Such men as college heads,
prominent lawyers and men in
high civil life will be given pref
erenee. Each federal or judicial
districts will have one appellate
board to review the finding OF
the local board, pass upon appeals
and hold original jurisdiction In
claims for occupational exemp-
lions.
States that have furnished more
than their share OF men for army
or national guard are not to be
penalized for their patriotism
when men are drafted for the
army.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June IL.
The general plan for forming
the local exemption boards to slit
out men for selectiye service was
practically decided upon today.
Under the plan, the registration
board, consisting of the county
sheriff, the county clerk and the
county health officer, will form
the local exemption board.
In cities of more than 10000
the registration board will also
become the exemption board. To
make the plan more flexible, the
governor of each state is author
lied to submit suggestions for
changes in the personnel when the
present incumbent OF the county
officers proves manifestly unsatis-
factory.
The plan provides that each To-
cal exemption board will have as
one member a physician who will
give the first test. When he re-
iects a man, the other board men,
bers must summon another ply
stefan, who will make an exam
nation. not knowing the first doc
tors decision. II the decisions
are the same. the man is declared
unfit.
Provides For Appeal.
The regular physician member
of the exemption board will prob
ably be the county or the city sur
geon, according to the plan. In
cases of doubt the board may sum-
mon several doctors, one after an
other, to submit a diagnosis.

destiny who, according to the late
Count Tolstoy, is to end the war.
Opened Nations Eyes.
America welcomed Lord North
cliffe in 1909 as England's great
est newspaper man.
He was known then as the mil
lionaire owner of some As news
papers in Great Britain, who
revolutionized English journalism
by his American methods, who
was despised for his radical tao
ties and envied for his remarka-
BILE genius and foresight.
Now Lord Northcliffe comes as
the one man in England who
opened her eyes by his revelations
of her military inefficiency at the
beginning of the war. hammered
at the truth until he caused a
complete change in the govern
ment for the better and is getting
action for his democratic de-
mands OF the British government.
Shocked Nobility.
This human dynamo Is 81 years
young. He was plain Alfred
Harmsworth when, at 20, he left
oxford and started as a $15-a-
week reporter. Then years later
he owned more magazines and
newspapers than any other man
in the world.
Nobility, of course, would not
read NOrthcliffe's productions.
They were too radical, too lively.
too democratic. But their owner
pushed them along on the Amer
lean plan at the risk of being the
most despised man in England.
He came out the most envied
Englishman and most successful.
The public bought his papers to
burn, but read them before de-
stroying them. He bought the
Mail and "Amerioanized" 1t. He
amazed the world by buying the
London Times, that staid, conser-
vative "Bible" of British Journal
ism!
Upset Government.
With his two-score newspapers.
Lord Northcliffe hammered at
British inefficiency, at the inactiv-
ity of the Asquith ministry, until
at last he turned public opinion
his way and caused a change In
the administration of the war
which diplomats believe is for the
better.
Lloyd George is Lord North
cliffe's man. The small British
war council is Lord Northcliffe's
idea. Both are doing their utmost
to make up for the slowness Of the
former administration in prose-
cutting the war.
Lord Northcliffe Is behind both
and the English people back him
with supreme confidence. Havingl
won the English people to o.
greater spirit for fighting the war
of democracy, he comes to Amer
lea to put the work Of his prede-
cessor on q firmer basis.

Mrs. Keet, mother of the baby,
is still in serious condition, but
is bearing her grief bravely. After
the first shock of the baby's
death was over. she regained her
composure somewhat. The dread
uncertainty and the terrible
strain of anticipation, at least,
was ended.
Baby Keet was not drowned,
as at first supposed. The coro-
ner's inquest last night deter
mined that the baby died from
exposure or malnutrition.
Or it might have been smoth-

Carter is said to have been seen

the baby is supposed to have been
held there.
While passing the place the day
following the kidnapping, Warner
and a friend peered through a
broken window. Carter" was
crouching on the floor, and ac-
cording to Warner, asked them
the reason for the visit.

Adams safe in the jail at Kansas
City, and Taylor Adams, his
wife. Allie, and son, Mike, and

mystery surrounding the death of
little Lloyd Keet remains as dark
rs ever.
Protests Innocence.
Springfield vigilantes failed
in their mission early Sunday
morning.
The lynching that the Missouri
mob clamored for did not mate
rialize and the confession that the
grim men sought to wiring from
the lips of Piersol was not forth
coming.
Three times they strung the
smiling suspect to an oak tree out
side of Stockton and twice he
came down with the same smile
on his lips.
you're going to kill me any
way, so you might as well have
It over with" he said.
They frightened the rope the
third time.
ANY final message?" asked the
leader of the mob, as he slapped
Piersol in the face.
"Just tell the old folks back
In Springfield that their boy knew
nothing about the Keet baby" he
answered, the smile still playing
around his lips.
Loses His Nerve.
The rope frightened and as far
as the prisoner was concerned he
had died game" When they cut
him down he was unconscious.
Cletus Adams spectator OF
the ordeal Piersol was subjected
to-completely lost his nerve.
Shrieking his innocence, he plead
ed with the mob for mercy.
The failure to force statement
from Piersol had dampened the
ardor of the vigilantes and doubt
crept into the minds of some.
I'VE never intended to hang
him." the leader said, but others
admitted 1t was his iron nerve
that cowed the mob.
