DRAF TING NOT TO
 BEGIN UNTIL ALL
 BOARDS COMPLETE
[Repub!ican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, July 11.-PostpOne- ment until next week of the drafting of numbers of men who will be called for examination for the national army seemed probable today when it became evident that states are not completing organization of their district exemption boards as rapidly as war department officials had hoped. Only 21 states have reported their organization com plete although in most others only e faw districts are missing. The drawing will not be made until the lists for the country are complete.
 A so-called revised census estimate for the entire country compiled on the basis of a draft registration will be used for determining apportionments. Each city, county or state must fur nish two-thirds of one per cent of it's paner population, according to the new estimates which were made for the purpose of equalizing the draft rather than to represent accurate population totals.
 Thus New York City, with an esti- mated population of 6504 1855 must give 43.3S2 of the 6S7,00 young men to be called on the first draft. A city with 25,000 population would be required to give 166 men. These aDportionments would be subject to slight allowances for alien enemies, for men who have volunteered, and for other causes. The population estimates, far from attempting to show actual populations simply are improvised figures reached by considering the number of regis trants in each sub b-division as 9.32 per cent of the population, since the total number registered, 9,659,3S2, was 932 per cent of the total estimated popula tion, 103, ,635,3 300. The process resulted in large dummy population showings for cities with war industries where there has been a recent inflow oi workmen without their families. Since the figures are based on the number of men available for military service however, officials consider the esti mates fair as bases for apportionment

 GALLUP, N. M. July 11.-Represen- lives of the Gallup American Fuel company, in conference with federal mediator H. H. Selomridge, of Cobra do Springs, today refused to grant either recognition or contract rela- tions to the members of the United Mine workers, formerly employed in their mines here, who recently went on strike
 One of the strikers, said to be a Ger man, was bound over to the federal grand jury today for cursing the United States and President Wilson. When reprimanded. the man is said to have drawn a knife and to have been subdued only by a considerable show of force.
 MT Seldomridge announced his pur- pose here was to gather information on the cause of the strike and on local conditions for the department of labor. A number of men returned to work to- day, officials of the company said. The first shipment of coal sent out since the strike was called was made today.
 The strike was called as a result, miners say, of abrogation by the pres ent owners of a contract with the United Mine Workers made by the Victor American Fuel company. which formerly owned the mines. The pres ent owners took possession only a short time ago.

LUTHERAN LEADERS
 DENOUNCED FOR
 REASONABLE WORD
cee.ubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

LINCOLN. Neb., July 1.-The "con- spicuous leaders" of the Lutheran church in the state and "certain pro- fessors" of the University of Nebraska were denounced for unreasonable ut terances, dislayol activity and passivity that has tended to give aid to Germany. an enemy" in a statement issued to- day by the Nebraska State council of defense, after the most solemn and serious investigation and considera- tion." The statement, it is explained, is based upon reports from every sec ton of the state and upon hundreds of letters from patriotic men, many of whom declare they have lost thou sands of dollars because they would not "tamely submit to ro-German in fluences."
 Specifically it is charged that bank CTS who invested in Liberty loan bonds were threatened with withdrawal of deposits; that the sale of war bonds has been actively opposed; that Red Cross relief work has met with an alarming antagnoism; that the Luther an church has failed to take a single step toward organizing for war relief work and it's conspicuous representa- tives" have shown marked partiality for the German cause; that certain professors at Nebraska University have been guilty of disloyal utterances; and that there are communities where the purpose of this war is not understood and where the sympathies of the peo- pie are with Germany.
 The names of men against whom the
 charges are made were not made pub
 lie. but George Coupland, vice chair
 man of the council of defense and
 head of the food conservation division
 of the council, said conditions became
 such that the council could no longer

 Lightning was brilliant, and in at least one instance, did material dam age. great haystack on the Joseph Monihan ranch on the Yuma road west of town was struck and set afire. It is reported that there were several hundred tons of hay in the stack and an appeal was made to the fire depart ment to help put it out. but the de- partment could do nothing Two near by stacks of hay were in danger but were saved. The loss will be hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
 There will be some damage to canta loupes, how much it is hard to tell One expert says that because the mel ons are mostly green, the damage will not be as cevere as it would have been a few days later
 The storm was rather narrow, ap- parently, for nearby ranches report al- most no rain or wind. The big force came directly in the business center where light globes were broken, avn ings slit and windows blown in.
 Probably the greatest damage in the city was done at the court house plaza where five of the big trees wers blown i down by the storm. The giant fiji tree that guards the left side of the entrance to the county building, fell across the sidewalk, narrowly missing two persons who were passing at the time Resides the five trees, there was considerable damage done to the gar. dens

SPECULATION IN

CHICAGO, July 11-Traders tonight interpreted the action of the Chicago board of trade today in fixing a max imum price of SIPS for December and May deliveries in corn as practically terminating grain speculation in the United States during the war When trading recently was restricted in wheat so as to forbid new deals in futures, the price for wheat fell nearly $1.00 a bushel. Traders and spectators then turned their attention to corn. Prices advanced until finally the market value of a bushel of corn was almost equal to that of a bushel of wheat at war time figures.
 Traders declared the intensity of the struggle in the corn pit during the last month had surpassed all records Notwithstanding favorable crop re- ports, corn continued to advance until today all records were broken.
 When the boards decision was an- nounced tonight one broker declared

 SAN FRANCISCO, July 11-Eight witnsses summoned by the defense to establish an alibi for Israel Weinberg, jitney bus driver testified today in the trial of Mrs. Rena Mooney for murder which grew out ofs the bomb explosion here last July. Weinberg, the state contended, drove the other defendants in the bomb cases to the scene of the explosion, where one of their number was alleged to have deposited a suit case containing a bomb.
 Four witnesses bore out statements made by Weinberg yesterday as to his movements on the day of the explosion. One of them Charles Buschweit, a sur prise witness, testified he had been in Weinberg's automobile between o'clock in the afternoon and 2:10 o'clock D. m., and that they were more than a mile away from the scene of the ex- plosion which occurred at 2:06 o'clock D. m. The state contended that Vein berg and the other defendants were in his machine between o'clock and 2: 10 o'clock in the afternoon.
 That Weinberg was home at noon of July 10 and July II was the testimony offered by five witnesses to contradict the states contention that at noon of one of thosi days Weinberg drove Mrs. Mooney to a wharf, where she was alleged to have procured twelve pounds of nitre which is used in the manu- fracture of explosives.
 Two of these witnesses were Mrs Weinberg and their son. Ernest.
 Mrs Mooney burst into tears and sobbed for fifteen minutes when Mrs Weinberg testified that she arrived home from Cleveland, Ohio, and found her husband in jail.
