CONSPIRACY TO
DEFEAT DRAFT
Heads of Collegiate Anti
Militarism League Are
Arrested
fRy Assoclnted Presa.l

New York, June Federal agents
yesterday took action here against an
alleged conspiracy to defeat selective
draft registration in New York.
Three students, two youths from
Columbia university and a young
woman, who is senior at Barnard col
lege, were arrested and held by a
United States commissioner. Bond for
each was fixed at 81, 500.
The defendants are Owen Cattell,
son of James McKeen Cattell. of Gar
rison, n. Y, noted psychologist and a
professor at Columbia; G. +. Phillips,
Of Columbia; and Miss Eleanor Wilson
Parker, who will be graduated in June
from Barnard. The three are members
of the Collegiate Anti Militarism
league, in the rooms of which a meet
ing of college students was held here
on May s. when plans are alleged to
have been made against the peace Of
the United States and their dignity"
A pamphlet OF this organization on
file at the federal district attorneys
Office, claims that it has members at
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell,
Columbia, Oberlin, Amherst, Syracuse,
Hobart, Pennsylvania, Radcliffe, Bryn
Mawr, Iowa, Nevada, Leland Stanford,
Rutgers and other colleges, universe
ties and theological institutions
throughout the country. Miss Parker
is executive secretary.
According to the complaint filed by
Assistant United States Attorney Fl. A.
Content, CatteIl, Phillips and Miss
Parker conspired to induce divers
persons whose names are unknown"
to fail to register as required by the
selective draft act and the proclama-
ton of President Wilson. These divers
persons" are set forth as males be-
tween the ages of 81 and 80 years in

BOARDING IS
MADE A FELONY
Final Vote on Food Survey
Bill Is Expected
Saturday
(Ry Associated Press.)


storage or destruction of food, fuel or
other necessaries OF life to limit sup
ply or affect prices would be felony
under an amendment to the govern
ments first food bill adopted in the
senate yesterday without a record
vote.
Several senators protested that the
provision was too drastic and would
prevent legitimate storing to equalize
markets, but all efforts to modify it
failed.
Violation of the section would be
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than six
months nor more than three years.
Holding by farmers or others of the
products of land cultivated by them is
exempted.
Consideration of the administration
bill, which provides for food survey
and stimulation of production, neared
the final stage yesterday but the intro
duction of a number of amendments
shortly before adjournment probably
will prevent final vote before Satur-
day.
An amendment which would
authorize the secretary of commerce to
take steps to promote more general
use of fish to relieve the food string
ency, was offered by Senator Fletcher.
1t would permit the secretary to
catch and market fish. A letter from
Secretary Redfield in support of the
proposal was read. The amendment
will be discussed again.
At the opening of debate Chairman
Gore of the agricultural committee ask
ed that the Lever bill, already passed
by the house, with the amendments
made by the committee be substituted
for the similar measure previously
under consideration in the senate. This
was done and will facilitate final enact
ment.

AMERICANS IN
FOREIGN LANDS
NAY Be DRAFTED
Secretary Baker Asks For
Opinion On Scope OF
Law
QUESTION INVOLVES
TERMS OF TREATIES
Meanwhile Steps Are Taken
To Prevent Further
Departures
(By Associated PROSE-

Washington, June 1.-While the le-
gal machinery of the government was
operating today to stamp out agitation
against the draft the war department
took up another phase of the matter
dealing with the status of Americans
now in foreign countries.
Secretary Baker called upon Brig.
Gen. Crowder. Judge advocate general
and provost marshal of the army for
an opinion as to the effect of the new
law on Americans of military age re-
siding abroad. Department officials
generally have presumed that the priv
ileges of citizenship would carry with
them duty for military service not
affected by foreign residence but no
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-06-01

formal ruling will be made until the
opinion of Gen. Crowder has been re-
ceived. The question involves to some
degree the specific terms of the extra
dition treaties between the United
States and other countries. Many
Americans Of military age now abroad
have been eager to enroll and diplo-
matte and consular officials have been
authorized to act as registration
agents.
Meanwhile the department of justice
is proceeding on the theory that the
departure from American soil of any
citizen subject to draft is an evasion
of the law. 1t was revealed today
that steps already had been taken to
prevent such departures and that at
tempts at this form of evasion would
be met by vigorous measures.
Department officials also made it
clear that they would back up to the
full extent of their authority the eff
forts of local officials in the various
communities to put a quick end to
agitation against the draft. The ar
rests made during the day throughout
the country were in accordance with
instructions sent from Washington.
Discussing reports that young men
were leaving the country to avoid
military service, Secretary Baker said
tial number of Americans" would take
that course. He added that the law
was of such vigor that 1t would be
found that any evasion gained in this
way was only temporary.
Another aspect of military registra-
ton came up during the day when
registration officials were informed
that answers would not be required
to the question on the registration
cards as to individual claims for ex-
emption and on what ground. The
department has reached the conclu-
sion that no man should be required
to claim exemption. Under the new
ruling none will be required to state
his position until he appears before an
exemption board.

Will Appeal Case.
j. ID. Showalter announced immedi-
ately after the decision was rendered
against him on the draft law test case
that he would go to Jefferson City for
the double purpose of endeavoring to
obtain an appeal hearing before the
supreme court and of instituting
mandamus proceedings against the
governor and other state officials.
Judge Bird, in his decision, referred
to the selective draft army law as the
most equitable and efficient" this
country has ever had.
He said he had studied all the
similar laws since the formation Of
the republic and that none was COM
parable to the new law. He also
ruled that, in times Of war. state, coun-
ty and city officials, could be used by
congress to further any war meas
ures. ...
The petition had sought to invoke
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments of the federal constitution and
also certain provisions of the Missouri
constitution.
