FALSE AFFIDAVIT
CHARGES PLACED
AGAINST THREE
First Arrests of Kind in State
Made Saturday,

The first arrests in Oklahoma OF
men alleged to have filed false aifi-
davits for exemption from the selectivc
draft were made Saturday when John
Leroy Robinson, Isaac NJ Robinson
and Elmer Mckee were arrested At
Carlton. Blair county. Oklahoma, John
Leroy Robinson was arrested OH 4
charge of making false claim and
the other two were charged with sign
ing false affidavts in support OF the
claim.
Released on Bond.
The men were brought to Oklahoma
City and arraigncd today before Unit
ed States Commissioners Ernest {.
Chambers. They waived preliminary
examination and were released on
bonds of $1,000 each to await the ac-
tion OF the federal grand jury.
The arrests are considered OF un-
usual Importance because II is believed
that it will have the effect OF prevent
ing others from signing aitidavts OF
men claiming exemption unless they
are familiar with their affairs. The
nature OF the claim for exemption IS
not known.
Another arrest Of somewhat siml-
lar nature was made in Utah yesterday
when federal authorities there arrested
Alexander Weaver of Edmond on a
charge OF failing to report for exam

emption board ordered him to report

back here for trial
There are probably more than two
hundred men in Oklahoma county who
did no, report for examination when
they were called Federal authorities
would not say today II federal charges
would be filed against them or not.
These men have been certified as ply
scally flt and not claiming exemption,

ditions in Philadelphia near the navy
yard similar to the one 1 wrote the
governor of Rhode Island some time
ago in regard to Newport. l have
sent him a list of quite a number of
places which are a menace to the
young men in the navy and marine
corps, giving him the names of sa-
looms, gambling houses and houses of
Ill fame. giving street and numbers.
have asked him to use his authority
to have these places closed and to
improve conditions there.
Experts have made an investiga-
ton at Philadelphia and l have sent
their report to the governor"
Asked whether he would take the
same action at Philadelphia that he
did at Newport, where guards were
stationed in front of the houses, the
secretary said he would not decide
what action he would take until after
he had heard from Governor Brum-
baueh. and learned what the local au-
thorities would do, as he believed the
state authorities would cooperate and
close the places which are causing

tail"

tons the navy ward could establish
