TWO MEN ARRESTED
FOR EvAD|NC DRAFT
Showing That They Attempted to
Register May Result in
Their Release.

Although permitted to register for
the draft after the serial numbers had
been reported to the War Department.
Clarence NJ. Powell. twenty-seven
years old. a brakeman. residing at 936
Virginia avenue southwest. and John
DickersoI, twenty-three. a steamfitter
Of 709 / street southwest. were taken
into custody last night and hailed be-
fore United States Attorney Laskey to-
day on a charge of being "slackers."
Ill, Tried to Register.
Powell claimed that he was Ill June
5 and attempted through his brother
to comply with the law. Dickerson
was in New Jersey at the time and was
unable to get here, he said.
Attorney Edmund Burke. represent
ing Powell. told Assistant United States
Attorney Leahy. who investigated the
matter, that Powell had been i'll for a
month preceding registration day and
was recuperating in the mountains of
Virginia The lawyer said he had ar
ranged to have the sick man here to
comply with the CONSUMPTION law and
he arrived in Washington June 3, but
was too i'll to appear for registration.
A brother of the accused made out a
card and attempted thereby to regist er
for Powell, but the card was reject ed
istrar at jefferson School in a lengthy
letter.
Got Card June 81.
Other efforts were made to secure a
registration card. he said. before the
serial numbers We're issued. but it was
not until June u that the registration
card was obtained.
Dickerson also told of efforts to get
on the list before the date on which his
registration card was issued.
Assistant United States Attorney
Leahy was not prepared to report on
the cases this afternoon, but it looks
probable that the release of the men
will be ordered.
1t was suggested to United States
Attorney Laskey today that the men
be given numbers at the end of the
list in the fourth precinct and that
they take their place in the conscrip-
ton ranks where that number was
drawn; as 2,143 persons registered
there that the men be numbered 2744
and 2745, and answer for examination
when others of those numbers respond.
