Hardwick Bill is One Which Tends

[United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-CriticS
of the selective draft are placing
this country in situation of ex-
IRENE peril the senate military COM
mittee warned today. Reporting
unanimous recommendation for re-
lection Of the Hardwick bill-prevent-
ing dispatch of drafted troops to
France-the committee scored the
measure, declaring it would disor-
ganize Americas army, leave the
nation powerless and make it the
laughing stock Of the world.
"The situation arising out Of this
spirit of opposition to the selective
draft is serious" said the committee,
land taken in connection with the
unrest among the civilian population,
growing out of commercial and in
dustrial conditions, stimulated in
some cases doubtless by pro-German
sympathizers and propagandists,
places our country in a situation If
extreme peril at time when all
should be united in common cause"
Draft law opponents are preparing
a sharp reply to the report. Hard
wick, who several times has been
criticized for his anti-draft speeches.
plans a fight for his bill on the floor
with the support of three or four
others.
Under Hardwick's bill, all man
would have to do to escape service
abroad would be to enlist in the
national guard Hardwick contends
this branch cannot be sent out OF the
country, no matter how great the
emergency.
The senate today continued to work
listlessly on the trading with the
enemy act while leaders sought to
shape the legislative program so as
to end the session about October 5.

partner, and after continuing in bust
ness for four months, took in as a
partner G. N. Primean, the firm name
being then Weber & Primean, and
they conducted the enterprise jointly
for two years following.
The financial crisis of 1873 caused
the firm to become insolvent. Mr..
Weber bought out his partner and
made satisfactory settlement with
his creditors receiving receipts in full
for all of his Indebtedness. Then he
went to work with renewed energy
and tried to regain his losses.
He was successful and built up his
business to a prosperous condition.
When prosperity came to him, he
showed his character, for he paid to
his old creditors IN full, even though
he was not compelled to, the debts
having been cancelled by the court of
bankruptcy At the time Of this set
tlement Mr.. Weber received numerous
letters from his former creditors ex-
pressed in the highest terms their APP
probation of his splendid act.
The present quarters of the A.
Weber company at the corner of Sixth
and Main streets were purchased in
1887 and in 1901 the business was in
COTpCTdUeu Tic VI n
Weber company. Mr.. Weber was also
interested during his life in a num-
Der of other Keokuk enterprises.
Mr.. Weber's first marriage was to
Miss Anna King Of keokuk, in 1866.
He was member of ST. Mary's church
and was affiliated with the knights of
Columbus His tastes were quiet and
he cared little for social life, his chief
interest being in his home. He was
open handed with his charities but
these were done in quiet way. Re
Gently he made large donation to
st. Vincent's orphanage at Davenport
He Was a patriotic American citizen
and a loyal supporter Of his home
town.
Mr.. Weber had found time in re-
cent years to do a s.reat deal Of trav-
cling and had visited every state in
the union as well as many foreign
countries. He was man of culture
and refinement, pleasing converse
tionalist. wide reader and man
well informed on world topics.
Mr.. Weber enjoyed the distinction
Of one of the few visitors from this
country to be granted an audience
with Pope Leo XIII during his life
time, it being his privilege to meet his
holiness during a visit abroad in 1902.
