MISREPRESENTATION
FOR THREE CLASSES
Would Release Policemen; Firemen,
and Dental and Medical Stu
dents From Draft.

New York, Aug. Exemption
of policemen, firemen and medical
and dental students from the opera
ton of the selective draft law was
urged on President, Wilson today in
resolutions adopted at meeting of
chairmen Of the district appeal
boards of the state of New York.
Charles e. Hughes, who presided,
was instructed to explain the action
to Governor Whitman, through
whom the request to the President
was made.
The resolution concerning police
men and tiremen asked the Presi-
dent to amend the draft rules so as
to exclude all such men in cities and
permit local and district boards to
reopen the case of any policeman or
fireman already passed upon.
In his letter to Governor Whitman
Mr.. Hughes directed attention to the
fact that there are 10,760 policemen
in New York and of this number be-
tween 5000 and $500 are subject to
the draft. In addition the city is
employing 1000 special policemen. in
guarding public utilities 1t cannot,
Mr.. Hughes showed, employ men of
mature years. since only men be-,
tween the ages of 81 and 20 are elibi-
BILE to the force.
The resolution dealing with medi-
cal and dental students asked the
President to detail all medical and
dental students and interns in hos
pitfalls after they have, been drafted,
to schools of instruction or hospi-
tails to continue their preparatory
course until called for service.

SUNDAY HUNTING
ILLEGAL: LANCER
TO ENFORCE LAW
Attorney General Advises
Wardens They Will Be
Held Accountable

Atty. Gen. William s. LANCER has
advised deputy game wardens
throughout the state that they will
be held accountable for the strict
enforcement of s. B. No. 1877. pro-
hibiting shooting or hunting on the
first day of the week.
He also has delivered an opinion
to the effect that the bird season this
year will open Monday, Sept. II, and
not Sunday, Sept. 16, as has been
the general impression He makes
this ruling on the grounds that no
hunting or shooting can legally be
done on the Sabbath.
When Senator Hamilton drew up
s. B. No. 1877, designed particularly
to legalize Sunday baseball, he con-
sented to the inclusion in committee
of a clause legalizing Sunday shoot
ing. The house jumped on that
clause, and when the numerous laws
governing the Sabbath finally went
to Governor Frazier for his signature
none of them expressly permitted
shooting on Sunday, while s. B. No.
137, read: "All shooting. sporting,
horse-racing or other public sports
on the first day of the week are
prohibited"
Sportsmen the state over, especial
ly city folk who have been compelled
to do most of their shooting on the
first day of the week, are UP in arms.
A jack pot is being formed with
Nhich to fight prosecutions for sun
day shooting, and members of this
close little organization are under
stood to have bound themselves to
hunt when they please and bid the
deputy game wardens go to blazes.
They contend the Sunday closing
laws are for the general peace-offi-
GERS and not the game wardens to
enforce, and that the latter have no
authority to arrest men for Sabbath
breaking. The attorney general has
ruled that they have, and some inter-
esting developments are anticipate

In Turning Out for Auto,
Motorcycle Hit Rut,

Funeral services for Robert w.

thrown from his motorcycle, a short
distance east of Buffalo, Cass coun-
ty, at 1890 o'clock Sunday morning,

Fifth avenue south, at 300 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Powlison with Fred Green, a local
motorcycle man. and left for Buffalo
early sunday morning and was re
turning to Fargo when the accident
happened. The motorcycle on which
Powlison was riding struck a chuck
hole IN the road, and threw its rider
into the air. He struck the hard
road-bed on his skull, which was
crushed, and his shoulder was
broken.
Powlison was taken to Fargo
hospital and died at $50 O'clock
Sunday evening without regaluing
consciousness. In April Powlison
had volunteered to join the United
States navy but was rejected be-
cause of poor eyesight. He attended
the Fargo public schools after his
parents moved to Fargo elk yee RS
ago and for the last few years had
been employed at the Emery & John
son bicycle shop.
Fred w. Powlison, father of the
young man, is manager of the Gate
City creamery and with other MEM
bers of the family was spending the
day at Absaraka, ten miles from Buff
falo and 1t was there that they were
advised of the accident. Fl
The injured man was taken to
Buffalo and later brought to Fargo.
According to Fred Green, tho two
were travelling at moderate rate Of
speed. #
1T was not a bad stretch of road"
said Green, but there were some bad
ruts. Evidently Powlison was center
ing his attention on the automobile
he was about to meet and ran direct
ly into the rut which he could
have easily avoided"

new Ignite
SCHEDULE into
EFFECT SEPT. IS
All Points Affected Out
side of North Dakota
Are In Minnesota

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2O.--A new
schedule of Interstate rates on lig-
mite coal from North Dakota mining
centers, adopted by the Northern
Pacific on Aug. 10, will beplaced in
effect Sept. Is, the North Dakota
railway commission was advised
Saturday
the state are in Minnesota. The twin
cities, Duluth, and other larger Min
nesota points are not included, but
tariffs from Wilton, Bismarck, Blue
Grass, Glen Ullin, New Salem,
Medora, Lehigh, Zenith and Sims,
centers of Ignite production on the
Northern Pacific system in North
Dakota, are named to practically
every town which this company
serves in the western half of Mime
sofa.
Rates per ton from Bismarck range
from $195 to Moorhead to SO to
Pembina and Morris, Anoka, and
Carlton, MINI. A 2,000-pound ton of
Ignite may be shipped from Bis
marck to Crookston for $3.50; to
Fergus Falls for $2.75; to Staples for
$2.65; to Brainerd for $2.75 and to
st. Cloud for $3.50. In most instances
the rate to these points from Wilton
is to 10 cents more per ton; the
rate from New Salem is about 20
cents more, and from Medora 1t is
so cents more per ton. u
A ton of Ignite retailing for 1925
in Bismarck will sell for $500 in
Moorhead, all things else being equal
and figuring a freight rate of $1.95.
The same ton of coal is stopped in
Fargo, on this side of the river, can
be sold for $4.37, the intrastate
freight rate from Wilton to Fargo
being $1.02. A ton of soft coal can
be shipped 230 miles from Superior
to Moorhead for $1.34, while ton of
Ignite, travelling twenty miles less
from Wilton to Moorhead must pay
$2.05 freight. The difference is
caused by the fact that the Superior
to Moorhead rate is entirely control
led by the state, as is the Wilton
Fargo rate If Moorhead consumes
any great amount of North Dakota
Ignite, it undoubtedly will be hauled
from Fargo, enabling the dealer to
take advantage of North Dakota's
especially favorable tariffs on this
commodity.
The fact that the Northern Pacific
has for the first time established a
tariff schedule affecting Minnesota
points is regarded as proof that the
company anticipates a reasonable
demand for the North Dakota fuel in
Gopherdom. Rates are based on a
40, O0e pound minimum carload, pro-
viding that cars with over 10000
pounds capacity may be loaded to 80
per cent of marked capacity, but not
more than $4,000 pounds, and that
gondola cars may be used at the
carriers convenience.

Gang, Leader Indicted following
Massacre of Negroes, Will Serve
One to Fourteen Years.

Belleville. Ill, Aug. 20.--S. L. Schulz
Of East st. Louis. III, who was in-
dicted on charges OF rioting, con-
spiracy and assault with intent to
commit murder by the grand jury
that investigated the recent East ST.
Louis race riots. pleaded guilty in the
circuit court here Saturday to con-
spiracy and to one count charging
assault with intent to murder He
was sentenced to an ii1deFminate
term of from one to IL years in the
Chester penitentiary on the latter
charge and to five years impTison
ment on the conspiracy charge. Both
sentences are to run concurrently.
In passing sentence Circuit Judge
Crow told Schulz that If his conduct
in prison were good the board of
pardons would consider releasing
him.
The fact that in entering the de-
cree Judge Crow wrote "consequ-
ences explained" led court attaches
to conclude that Schulz would be
used as state witness in the trial
OF others accused Of participation in
the riots
Schulz is said to have been
leader OF the so-called Stoclyards
Gang, which played a large part in
the massacre Of negroes in East St
Louis on the night OF July q -Four
additional arrests in the riots cases
were made.
