PLACED ON PROBATION.
Judge Pugh Is Perplexed Over
Abraham Beach's Case.

In an effort to induce Judge Pugh
to be lenient with him in the matter of
punishment for alleged violations of
the fish law. Abraham Beach stated
that he was striking street car man.
and that he had wife and four small
children to support. He made an unsuc-
cessful effort to dip few shad or
herring for his family, he stated. and
after his arrest he repeated the offense
in an effort to raise money enough to
pay his fine.
Il don't know Just what to do with
your case" said the court. The creek
at Occoquan is fshed to death and
there is nothing there to catch.
IF 1 impose a fne," he added. "the
payment Of 1t will mean a hardship
on your family"
The court finally disposed of the cases
by imposing fines aggregating SIS or
six months imprisonment. and placing
the young man on probation. Beach
was told that repetition of the offense
will mean the payment of 800 or the
serving of eight months at Occoquan.

show the first results of its work of

RECRUITING FOR ARMY
SHOWS MORE DECREASE
Yesterdays Enlistments 947, as
Against the 5000 Need
ed Daily.

Recruiting for the regular army showed
an increasing slump yesterday. total OF
947 men having been obtained. according
to the War Department tabnlatfon. as
against the daily average OF more than
5000 necessary to fill the service to war
strength by July /. Reports too late for
tabulation raised the figure to Just 1000
men and officials were depressed at the
showing made.
Secretary Baker recently issued n
statement calling for 10000 war volun-
teers to fill up the army. In the face
of this, however. and despite the fact
that regulars have already been or
dered to Europe for active service the
response Is depressingly slow, and the
probability that the first men drafted
under the selective army bill will go to
fill gaps in the regular service Is in
creastng.
The department regards it as danger
Gus to delay completion of regular regt-
ments until the slow trickle OF war volun-
teers provides the necessary men.
The slump was general yesterday in all
states. Pennsylvania led with 1o5 and
New York. with more than 5000 men to
provide to fill its quota, dropped to 1o2.
The recruitment in the District of Column
bia yesterday was five.
