Jump the ROad-Suit Develops
When Buggy is Hit.

An accident which occurred last
Saturday evening one mile north of
this city, when an automobile driven
by Charles Roebuck collided with a
buggy in which John Berry was the
lone occupant, resulted in two sepa-
rate charges being filed against the
former.
1t is alleged that Chas. Roebuck
with a number of friends from Rock
ford were driving home at high rate
of speed, all of the occupants being
in an intoxicated condition, and that
their machine struck the horse and
buggy of John Berry, injuring the
horse so bad that it had to be killed,
and completely demolishing the bug
gy. Berry was thrown out but was
uninjured.
Two charges were brought against
Roebuck, the first count being the
unlawful operation of a motor vehicle
upon the public highway while in an
intoxicated condition and the other
count being that of driving at an eX-
cessive rate of speed.

WASHINGTON NEWS

Washington, June 2S.-According
to a ruling of the War Department,
the organization of the army will in
clude only one Judge Advocate to
each division, or about thirty for the
entire force. Each states national
guard is to be allowed to select the
Judge Advocate for the state. Thus
there will be less than an average of
one Judge Advocate to each state,
and he must have military experience
as well as several years experience in
the legal profession. Men of nation
al repute, such as ]. M. Dickinson
and Henry L. Stimson, former cabi-
net officers, have offered to serve
without pay, hence the chances are
slim for hundreds of young lawyers
who seek appointment. A Judge
Advocate is the judicial officer of a
division.

B. F. Welty is clue. Though for

pedition by various methods. AS
persons engaged in carrying the mails
are exempted, according to the law,
vacancy in the position of rural or

else. Girls are to be placed in the
vacancies thus created, it is announc-
