Gets Word From Provost
General A n e n t Lake
County Draft Census
May Be Adjusted.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. July 10
Jesse Eschbach. state conscription Off
Ger, received yesterday a letter from
Provost Marshal General Crowder ex-
planning discrepancies in the estimates
for the selective draft purposes in Lake
county where the census bureau esti-
mate would take for the army some 1000
men more than local population esti-
mates would allow Mr.. Eschbach had
protested to the war department con-
corning the apparent high estimate of
population in Lake county and Lake
county cities placed thereon by the war
department.
Various complaints concerning the
estimates of population furnished by
the census bureau in May We're received
by this office. and no doubt. also by the
census bureau" the letter from General
Crowder said. These estimates were
necessarily prepared in great haste.
Subsequently. il was possible TO read
Just the estimates in the light of ad-
ditional information obtained through
the registration Of June s. and new
estimates were accordingly prepared by
the census bureau as of July l, 1917.
The employment of the new estimate in
making the federal apportionment will
result in distributing the burden Of the
draft to states and territories and the
District of Columbia very nearly in pro-
portion to the number of men Of mill
tary age in each of those Jurisdictions
as disclosed by the registration of June
5th."
one of the contents in the protest
by Eschbach was that the large foreign
population in Lake county produced an
unusually large number of men of mill
tary age. but many of them were listed
as aliens and alien enemies. and these.
therefore, probably will not be drafted
for service The burden would thus be
thrown on the relatively small percent
age of Americans registered in the
county.
The provost marshal-general's letter
continues on the theory that readjust-
ments within the state might be made.
as long as the states full. quota under
the census bureaus estimates is drafted.
This point is just the one that state
officials have been contending is being
Eschbach probably Will send another
communication to the provost marshall
general, showing that Indiana's total
quota of drafted men should be fewer
than that established by the census bu-
rea's estimate if the state is to send
the proportionate percentage of its men
the front as do other states.

SHERIFF FOUNTAIN
DESTROYS LIQUOR

Sheriff Fountain destroyed IS
barrels OF liquor which had accu-
nlulated since the prohibition law
went into effect in May, as the
result OF the various raids made
by the sheriff. Finding the meth
cd of pouring the contents OF
thousands OF bottles into the sew
CT too slow, the sheriff hauled a
large quantity to the creek east of
the city and poured it into the
stream. Fishing in that section
will become popular for awhile.
Sheriff Fountain was in a di-
lemma as to some way of legally
dispose OF the stuff. 1t appears
that neither the outgoing nor the
incoming Judge has authority to
issue orders for its disposal and
as the sheriff's time to legally
hold, it closed Sunday night, it
vas lup to him to find his own au-
tPor3ty to separate himself from
tie undesirable merchandise. AS
thasre are so many alleged own
EN- to various parcels and barrels
it is not expected that any claims
for damages COULD be instituted,
as the parties in claiming legal
ownership, make themselves IL
able to criminal punishment, and
the value of the separate parcels
would hardly justify such a step
as to invite years detention on
the roads of the county or a fine
Of $1,000. Mr.. Fountain is ne
DOUBT protected against any Suit
frOrl such a source.

DANGER OF STRIKE
|TTEOLy REAL

Washington, Dec. 3O.-That
the danger OF strike OF the big
tour brotherhood members is a
real one was quietly admitted at
headquarters here today, The
union en- are bitterly incensed
over the attitude taken by the va
nous railroad systems in declin-
ing to accept the provisions of the
liamson law until its legality
II3d been passed upon by the
Supreme Court.
Word has reached the White
House and the Federal Concilia-
ton Board that various locals Of
the brotherhoods now are de-
handing that the strike order,
made effective by an overwhelm-
ing vote and then held I'D bv
the brotherhood chiefs, following
the passage OF the Adamson act,
be revived at once. This the
brotherhood heads do not want to
do, but word has reached Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers that
the task OF keeping the union
men in line is a very difficult one.
They are demanding that they
be permitted to strike, and also
that the various other demands.
q ncluding time and a half over
Time and the like, be revived.
1t IS asserted in circles close to
the Attorney General that de-
clslon on the Adamson act hardly
can be looked for before the mid
die OF February. And, should
the questions at issue be such as
to result i'll wide division in the
Supreme Court, it is entirely pos
slhle that the decision may be
held up for some weeks. This
naturally will add to the disaf-
lection among the railroad men.
The one great check to strike
order under existing circumstan-
ces is the knowledge of the labor
leaders that if one IS issued Con-
r2ss will jam through the com
K 1lsory arbitration act in a 10Y
~ Fllis is TIM ol1c~71liug that
the labor leaders do not want.
But there now is a feeling among
many members of Congress that
the enactment of the Adamson
act alone is a mistake and it is en-
lliirely possible that this feeling
will be taken advantage of by the
President to get the remainder of
the legislative program approved.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission will commence its hear
ings next Monday on the propos-
ed bills, including that which pro-
vides for compulsory arbitration.
Organized labor is to be strongly
represented in opposition to the
latter measure.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of La
bor, will lead the fight.

FEW FED" STARS
Most of Defunct Leagues Play
ers Have Disappeared.
Chase and Kauff Still Among
Those Getting By.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July 2S.--It is interest
ing to note how few Federal league
stars are holding their own in the
big show these days.
Out of some twenty odd Federal
leaguers who are in the big leagues
now there are but our who stand
out as stars of the first water. The
others are ordinary players, some of
whom are just about ready to hit the
trail that leads to the bushes.
Hal Chase and Eddie Roush. of the
Reds. with Bill Rariden and Benny
kauff, of the Giants, stand out as the
only real stars in the major leagues
today who saw service with the ILL
fated Feds. This quartet of ball toss
ers is a mighty small representation.
and it proves how very little ths Feds
had to boast of. Kauff, Roush and
Rariden. incidentally, were team
mates in the Federal league.
OF the remaining Feds, other than
pitchers, Konetchy, of the Braves;
Flack and Mann, of the Cubs; Now
rey, of the Dodgers; Magee. of the
Browns, and Marsans. of the Yam
KEGS, are representative Federal
of this aggregation who has been
capable of holding his own against
big league pitching so far Thu year.
He is hitting in the neighborhood of
800.
Ex-Fed Pitchers.
Fred Anderson, Giant pitcher;
Gene Packard. of the Cardinals, and
Bob Groom, of the Browns, are the
only ex-Federal league pitchers show
ing much form. Dave Davenport got
a late start, owing to an accident in
the spring, and is slowly rounding
into form, while Nick Cullop, of the
Yanks, has been unable to do much
work for Bill Donovan. Allen, of the
Braves; Hendrix, of the Cubs; Plank,
of the Browns, and Prendergast, APP
pear in the pitching records among
the losing hurlers. Old Chief Bender
recently signed for another trial. this
time with Pat Moran, of the Phillies,
and Ed ReuIbach recently drew his
release from Boston.
Aside from these few players the
Federal league stars of two years
ago are working in the minor leagues,
where a small per cent of them are
classed as real stars

improvements Amounting to 100000
at Stormont Hospital.

One hundred thousand dollars in
improvements will be added to Stor-
mont hospital in the next two years,
according to DR.. c. E. Mcguire. chief
of staff of the hospital. Building of
a $4,000 dorniitory for the nurses
will begin at once. An addition cost
ing $4,000 and doubling the capacity
will be erected later.
The dormitory will be erected on a
lot adjoining the hospital on the
north. 1t will be a 3-story stucco af-
fair and will furnish quarters for forty
nurses. At present there are only
twenty-one nurses in training at the
hospital and the new dormitory is
built with the idea that with the erec-
ton of an addition doubling the pa
tient capacity to be built in a short
time, the number of nurses in train
ing will be increased.
