to it that they keep at their work. To
this end corps of experts has be-
gun to make a list of industrial ac-
Invites essential as backstops of the
armies in the field.
From official sources it is learned
the list probably will name farmers
as a general class, miners, men en-
gagged in shipbuilding, munitions work
ers of al classes and every branch of
industry that aids directly or indirect
ly in maintaining the military forces.
Exemption for these men is, how
ever, not absolute. Every man must
appear before the exemption board.
Only after proving to the board that
he is indispensable" to the continu-
ance of that particular business and
cannot be replaced by another man.
Under the draft regulations each
exemption board must investigate
existing conditions of the industry
it it's district. With the aid of Presi-
dent Wilson's list exemptions will be
made with the least possible drain up
on the industrial situation.
On the district boards now being
formed there will be one representa-
tive of labor, industry and agriculture.
The boards of the majority of States
are complete today.
Affidavits from employers will form
part of the evidence that must be SUBJ
mitted to the claimer of exemption to
prove that he is indispensable"

AUTO OVERTURNS;
DRIVER UNINJURED
Russell Carbon Has Thrilling
Experience on Dutchtown
Road.

An automobile driven by Russell
Carbon, an employee Of the Southeast
Missouri Foundry Co., was overturned
on the Dutchtown road yesterday even
ing throwing the driver into the field.
He escaped, however, with a few
bruises. The automobile was so badly
damaged it had to be nauled in on an
other car.
Carbon was coming toward the city
when the accident happened. Just be-
fore he reached the foot of the Benton
Hill he lost control of the machine and
before he could apply the emergency
brake the car ran off the road into a
field.
The driver attributed the accident to
the failure of the steering rod to work
properly. He said the rod began. to
slip, when he attempted to turn the
machine to the side, causing the car
to run off the road.
The car was turned over several
times. The driver was thrown clear
of the machine before it turned over
the first time. and beyond a few bruis-
es escaped injury.

MRS. ZIERATH Is
DEAD FOLLOWING
LONG ILLNESS
Invalid Wife Of Rich Farmer
Died Friday Evening In
Filthy Home.
SEVERAL PHYSICIANS
CALLED AT LAST HOUR
Funeral Will Be Held This After
noon-NegIected by Husband
During Illness.

Mrs. Carolina Zierath, the invalid
wife of Theodore Zierath, died at her
home Friday evening about 6 o'clock,
after i three years illness, during
which she was kept in the most filth
lest condition ever found in a home,
according to several women of the
Cane. who visited Mrs. Zierath during
her illness, and attempted to remove
the invalid woman from the squalld
conditions. in which she was kept by
her husband.
The funeral will be held this after
noon, and the body will be buried IN
the cemetery near the Zierath home.
Herman Zierath, only son of the cou-
pie, came to the Cape yesterday morn
ing to make the arrangements for the
funeral which will be held under the
direction of the Brinkopf Undertaking
Co.. from which the casket was pur-
chased by the son.
Mrs. nierath, who was 70 years old,
suffered paralytic stroke about three
wears ago, and since then has been
totally unable to care for herself. Her
husband, perhaps the wealthiest farm
err in Cape County, has kept his wife
during her lingering illness in the
most ursanitary and most squalid con-
ditions ever found in a home.
Only one son, Herman, and the hus-
hand survive. The only daughter of
the couple, Mrs. Louhienne, died sew
eral years ago, and was buried in the
cemetery on tn efarm of her parents.
Her husband, Eudibe Louhienne, who
lived near Mcclure, H., left all his
property to local bank two years ago.
Four weeks ago several women from
the Cape visited the Zierath home to
purchase some cherries and found Mrs.
Zierath in semi-conscious condition
suffering from the effe<s of the para
lytic stroke of tire eyears ago. She
was lying on a bundle Of old rags
clad only in a filthy gown.
The aged woman was hardly able to
utter a word, but expressed desire
of being taken to hospital, where she
would receive better treatment. In

cause of High Cost, President
Wurdaek Says.

| SpCSie1l W
st. Louis, Mo-, July IA genera
increase of rates of 25 per cent fol
water, gas and electric supply vii
be asked of the Public Service Com.
mission by the Missouri Association
of Public Utilities, comprising every
electric, gas and water company in the
State, according to the information
obtained from Hugo Wurdack, presi-
dent of the Light and Development
Co., of st. Louis, and president of the
Missouri Public Utilities Co. of Cape
Girardeau.
Traction companies also represented
in the association will join the request
of the Missouri Association of Pub
lie Utilities for an increase of their
rates for the supply of public utilities,
but not for their fares. The decision
may be reached later.
The increase of rates is based upon
the contention that the price for all
material and for coal has increased
considerably during the past year, and
in some instances had been raised 500
per cent. Labor also has advanced
during that time, the officers of the
association say.
Supplies used by electric, gas, water
and traction companies have advanced
in price since the beginning of the war
from $50 per cent to 500 per cent, and
labor generally has risen p per cent
to 80 per cent, it is pointed out. The
position of the majority of smaller
companies throughout the State, there
fore, is said to be such that unless
relief is afforded without delay they
will not be able to continue in bust
ness.
The Public Service Commission will
be ASKED to grant the increase as an
emergency measure, retaining the
right to cancel the concession inme-
diately it is satisfied that conditions
have reverted to those prevailing be-
fore the war, when the present rates
were fixed.
Cast iron pipe, largely used by the
companies, has increased from $3.50
to $72 ton. Wurdack said. Lead for
water pipes, is So cents to 13 cents a
pound higher. Coal is $1.25 to S2.75
and SIS ton at the mine, cost of trans
portation also being increased. Field
and gas oil has risen in cost about 125
per cent.
"The companies" Wurdack said,
care only going to ask the commits
sion for a sufficient increase to get
by There is no thought of dividends
but the association is faced with the
absolute necessity of obtaining some
increase on rates to meet the increas-
ing cost Of supplies. Many smaller
companies will go out of business if
they are unable to obtain relief. The
increase. if granted, will take effect
Immediately but will only continue so
long rs markets remain in their pres
ent inflated condition"

Upper Marlboro, Md, Feb. .
Despite the opposition of an irate
father who, according to report, used
shotgun to warn his daughters adj
mirer to keep away from his home,

years old, pastor Of the Methodist
circuit which embraces the church 1T

Oxon. were married Friday morn
ing at the home of Robert E. Bell,
near Rosecroft, PRINCE Georges
county, by the Rev. j. r. Cavileer,
pastor of the Methodist Church at
Forestville.
1t is said the young minister met
his sweetheart last Sunday evening
in the road near the girls home, 9nd
that their meeting was rudely in
terrupted by Mr.. Clark, who, it is
stated, fired in the direction of the
clergyman as warning that his
company could be dispensed with.
The young sutton was not deter
red and between 10 and II o'clock
Thursday night, it is stated, met
Miss Clark en- the road near her
home and accompanied her to the
home of Mr.. Bell, where she spent
the night with her chum and school
mate, Miss Dorothy Bell.
Early yesterday morning Mr..
Clark noticed the absence of his
daughter and, calling up the Wash
ington police, asked that a search
be made. Meanwhile, the Rev. Mr..
Cavileer and former treasurer of the
county, George w. Hardy, were on
their way to Marlboro, where mar
rage license for the young minister
and Miss Clark was secured. They

Bell, where Mr.. Cavileer performed
the ceremony in tn presence of a
dozen or so witnesses.

AMERICAN PRISONERS
Germany Yields TO U. S. Demands
For Their Quick Release.


Berlin, Feb. 5. Germany yes
tertlay acceded to the American de-
mands for the immediate release OF
the ~ Americans taken from ships
sunk by the raider in the Atlantic
and brought to German port
aboard the steamer Yarrowdale.
Washington, Feb. 5--One of the
last things to be done by the United
States government before severing
diplomatic relations with Germany
was to demand that the Americans
taken by the German raider from the
British steamers Georgia, Mount
Temple and Voltaire, and who were
being held in German prison camps,
be released. A Washington dispatch
Saturday said there were 90 of these
men. Germany in holding them had
contended that as paid members OF
the. crews of armed enemy merchant
men they were due no immunity.

Ports Officially Denied
Persistent reports Of impending
seizure of German freight and pas
senger ships war bound in American
ports, led to an authorized statement
for the government last night that
such step was not even under con-
sideration. !:
It was pointed out that while port
authorities would take necessary pre-
cautions to safeguard Navigation
for the government to seize these
ehins, in American harbors as vlsi-
TORS under their own flag, would be
an aggression which might be con-
etr,,cd rs hostile to Germany.
collectors of customs have been
instructed by the Treasury Depart
mcnt to be particularly care1ui III
the present emergency, and those at
rorts where German ships are lalo
M have provided special guards
above the vessels.
To meet the problem resulting from
members of the German crews de-
aerting and coming ashore, the I'M
migration bureau is cooperating WIN

disposition.
