FOR
REGISTRATION AID
FELT NECESSARY
Reported Objection Of Outdoor
Circle Members Finds Board
of Different Opinion

Francis ]. Green, executive officer
Of the central registration board, todaJ
confirmed q report that member OF
the Outdoor Circle mad informed him
that several women belonging to the
organization were opposed to the US :
Of the billheards ir placing vitallg
important registration Information be
fore the public, and especially before
those male residents who must regis.
ter on July 81.
4 report about objection to billboard
advertising reached the Star. Bulletin
today, and Mr.. Green was asked for
the facts. He SAID that member o:
the Outdoor Circle had Informed him
that several of the women, but not
the organization officially, were op.
posed to the use Of the billboards for
posting notices and other advertising
matter incidental to tire registration
campaign. ..
IT Informed the memeer of the cir
cle," Mr.. Green said, that the prob
lem of advertising registration day
was not oneNer the women to solve,
as this was matter entirely in the
hands and within the authority Of the
central registration board.
1T seems to me that an organiza,
ton Of this kind should approve any
action of the board for patriotic rea.
sons" Mr.. Green continued, and l do
not believe that any action should be
taken which would interfere with the
workings of the board, directly or indi.
rectly. We have, a big task on our
hands, that Of enrolling more thaa
$4,000 men for the nation"
Mr.. Green says that the board will
use every available means Of getting
registration information before the
public, for the reason that it. is abso-
lutely necessary that every man in the
territory between the ages Of II and
80 register on July 81. II
4 have been informed that; the
opinion prevails here and there that
only citizens of the territory must
register" declares Mr.. Green. This
impression Is entirely wrong, and it Is
to correct such false impressions that
We must advertise registration day as
fully as We can. setting forth every
possible bit of information, for tia
man who does not register Is liable
to prison sentence. :
All over the mainland, says Mr..
Green, billboards were used to adver.
tise, registration day, and the bill
boards were considered an excellent
medium for such publicity. He. also
points out that bilIboards have been
used extensively for war purposes Ia
Australia and New Zealand.
Mr.. Green makes 1t clear, however.
that the report which came to him is
not taken to mean that the Outdoor
Circle as an organization IS opposed
to the Use of the bfllboards. = 4

LEGAL Fight FOR
FERNS NOMINEES
SEEMS UNLIKELY
AIT Supervisors Anxious to GET
to Work on City's Proper
Business

A report In political circles to the
effect that the Democratic party will
petition the supreme court to declare
all appointive offices in the city and
county vacant, thereby making 1t
necessary for the Republican majority
OF the board of supervisors to accept
Mayor ]. ]. Ferns nominations, is
emphatically denied by Bourbon lead
ers, who say they doubt whether the
boards action on the mayors appoint
ments viii ever be taken into the
courts.
A man in close touch with Demo
cratic headquarters says that whether
such move could be effected by the
Bourbons remains entirely with the
Justices of the supreme court to de-
eide, since it is legal question.
Commenting on the report today, "a
veteran politician points out that the
appointive offices virtually are vacant
at the present time, as Mayor Ferns
announcement Of appointments gives
the present officehOlders 80 days in
which to vacate. But whether these
Offices wiz be vacated at the end Of
the 50 days depends entirely on the
action taken on the mayors appoint
ments which now lie on the table.
THE position taken BY the board
that Il has the appointive power looks
strange TO me- said l. L. McCandless
today. The law provides that the In
itiative lies with the mayor, and not
the board as whole. The fact that
the board assumes the right to make
all appointments appears ridiculous to
me.
As far as know there has been
no discussion Of q plan to take the
matter to the supreme court. do not
believe the Democrats have any idea
Of Tesorting to the courts in matter
OF this kind. was surprised to see
that Ben Hollinger wants. TO block the
probe being made by H. Gooding
Field. He cannot do 1t. It seems to

On investigation 60 throug-
As matter Of fact, the Democrats
have laid ont no definite plans as yet.
What viii be done in the end depends
entirely upon the actions OF the board
of supervisors. ] think the Democratic
members intend to give the Repubh.
can majority every leeway In order
TO find out definitely what they de-
sire to do with the mayors appoint
ments."
The city hall atmosphere Is not that
Of an approaching storm. It Is be.
heyed that all members Of the board
desire to get down to city business a.
speedily as possible.

ST. LOUIS RIOT
LONG BREWING,
SAYS VISITOR
Exodus of Whites for War and
Great Influx of Negroes
Responsible

The. trouble between the negroes
and the whites In East st. Louis has
been brewing for some time, accord.
ing to A. A. Marquardt, secretary
treasurer Of the Mesker Bros Iron
Co. of st. Louis, Mo-, who. arrived
here recently.
Marquardtis concern is q million
dollar company that has had some big
war contracts. For months back the
situation has been getting tense In
East st. Louis, he says, with the scar
city of whites, many OF whom enlist.
ed, and the influx Of negroes from the
South, but the spark did not ignite
until after he left.
At one time since the war started
Marquardt says It was absolutely i'm
possible to get mechanics for his
works, although advertisements for
them we're inserted in publications
all over the United. States.
The Mesker concern has done con.
siderable work in Honolulu including
structural work for the star Bulletin
building.
It turned out 1000 rolling kitchens
for the French army at a cost of about
81, 500, Doc. A recent contract from the
United States army for field ovens,
tent pins and various metal equipment
runs near a million dollars. =
Marquardt is accompanied by Mrs.
Marquardt, her sister, Mrs. Jessie B.
johnson of San Francisco, and their
daughter. Miss Marjorie Marquardt
They say it is generally believed In
the Middle West that the Pacific
ocean is infested with submarines and
they were nearly persuaded not to

sFor delivery In drums or barrels
an additional charge of 70 per cent

The reason for their failure to DIG

EFFECT ON MONROE DOCTRINE
Washington, Jan. 5.-A desire to
"avoid dumping the Monroe doctrine
overheard" seemed today to be the
actUating motive behind the senate
fight against the Hitchcock resolu-/
ton endorsing Pres. Wilson's dis
patch of notes to belIigerents.
The specter of a break or war with
Germany over submarines appeared
to have been relegated to the back
ground, though opponents Of the res
olution knew that administration
sources have declared the notes had
that spirit behind them.
In a nutshell, the fight, as it
shaped up today, was against Aner1-
can interference. in the peace situa-
ton, lest this be misinterpreted and
involve lasting displeasures and en-
tangling alliances.
Opponents of the endorsement
resolution believe that the sugges-
ton of a world peace league or SINH
lar fundamentally means ditching
the Monroe doctrine and plunging
this nation into the involved mass of
European politics, intrigue and per-
haps even war.

FACTORY INSPECTORS OFFICE
HAS CASES AGAINST TWO
BIG LOOP STORES

Two mOreL loop advertisers were
nailed as child labor drivers yester-
day when State Factory Inspector
Nelson filed complaints against them
in Judge Kearns' court. They are
HiIIman's, State, street dept store,
and Tebbetts & Garland, grocers to
the wealthy, at 10 N. Michigan av.
When the cases against the stores
comes up Jan. Is Nelson will make
the following charges against them:
That Hillman's worked Esther
Fucker, Is years old, 1913 Wash
burne aV., ten hours daily during the
Christmas rush.
That Hillman's kept Maurice Bar
rett, 528 w. 45th pI., at work 1115
hours.
That Tebbetts & Garland had
eight girls at work overtime in vio-
lation of the state child labor laws.
The evidence on Hfllman's was
gained after the state factory inspec-
tor had numbers of complaints
against the store from OVerworked
girls.
Inspector Gertrude StoeIzel was
sent over and she went among the
employees. The two cases named
were the first where proof was pro-
cured of the age of the child. Others
are now under investigation.
S. M. Hit, himself, manager of>the
store, was the man held responsible
for the conditions. He must explain
things on Jan. Is.
In the Tebbetts & Garland cases
Nelson himself got the evidence. In
response to tips that they were
working girls in violation of law, he
hustled down to the swell store him
self one night.
The door was locked, but he
banged away at it until the manager,

Warden Painter of the Missouri
Penitentiary stated Tuesday that
the penitentiary would not be able
to supply the farmers of the state
more than about 5000 pounds of
binder twine for the approaching
harvest and this will be so small
as to practically amount to moth
ing. The state last summer did
not lay in a supply of sisal, the
Mexican fiber from which twine
is made, when it could have been
secured at a low price. 1t is now
18 cents a pound. The warden
said the manufacturers would be
able to sell twine at IA cents per
pound wholesale and it would be
impossible for the state to buy
sisal at 1S cents and manufacture
it into twine without heavy loss.
