LITTLE EVIDENCE NEEDED
TO CONVICT PLOTTERS
ROANOKE. Va. MAY 20.

ROANOKE Va, May 20.
Cumulative evidence coming into the
hands of Government investigators concern
ing the conspiracy discovered among noun
taineers of the border counties of Virginia
and Kentucky greatly increase the gravity
Of the charges against the men involved in
the plot and the officers feel that only a few
scraps of evidence are necessary to convict
William V. Mccoy and j. w, Phipps, who
are I'm Jail here as the leaders in a plot
involving several phases Of a most treason
able conspiracy. Colonel r T.. Leedy in
command Of the Second Virginia Regiment.
admits that the plot was first discovered
through members Of his command on guard
duty at points near St Paul, which was the
headquarters of the clan, one Of the first
moves contemplated. according to positive
evidence i'm the hands Of the officers. was to
murder the squads Of guards scattered
along the railroads In that section and Sc
cure their guns and ammunition.
Officers of the Department of Justice are
busily engaged in an effort to connect the
conspirators with the theft Of 1000 pounds
Of dynamite which was taken from the
magazine of the du Pont company at Nor
ton, Va, on Friday night, and they believe
their efforts will be successful. II is learned
also that Governor Henry G. Stuart of Vir-
ginia. was one of the intended victims OF
the wholesale plan Of murders Of wealthy
land owners and conhscation Of property
his home being i'm Russell CCmnty, on the
border OF which st. Paul is located.

RULES TO BE OBSERVED

one Of the principal facts brought TO the
attention of the district boards was this:
No exemptions will be considered until the
names Of enough men to supply the City's
quota have been drawn by chance from the
list of names registered one week from to-
day
On registration day itself, now seven
days distant, questions Of exemption will
be taken up. on registration day all men
OF eligible ages will report at the proper
polling places of their respective wards to
make their statements. Later the names of
the number prescribed for Philadelphia will
be drawn by jury wheel or some equally
fair system.
