THE WAY OF THE
!. HAT BR|GANDS
CHECK TRUST THRIVES on
coWARDlcE OF RESTAURANT
PATRONS.

1t costs more than $40 a year to
have a SO hat checked, providing the
owner is one of those unfortunates
who must eat two meals a day in a
dining place where the hat checking
trust has established one of its lairs.
This also assumes that the hat owner
on each occasion hands the represen-
tatiye of the trust the conventional
fee of 10 cents.
A writer in current magazine
wonders why we stand the robbery
The answer is easy. WE stand it be-
cause we are too cowardly to pro.
; test; Each of us is afraid that we will
be called mean and stingy if we do
not give away money that has not
been earned.
Most of us are under no delusions
that we really are giving the pleasant
young woman or the affaIble young
man in charge of the hat rack a con
tribution. We know all about the
checking trust and know that the
servftor on the job gets only a frac
ton of our largess, while the remain
der goes to enrich the mysterious per
sons higher up who control the
checking privilege.

fMplA,s 5uENos AIRES

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 25.-Famine
Is Threatened in this city by the
general railroad strike. 1t was estI-
mated today that the city will! be
without its normal supply of meat,
milk and vegetables by Thursday
and that If the strike continues, the
shortage viii be acute by Saturday.
Some supplies can be brought in by
boat, but it is feared that the rail
way leaders will try to extend th3
strike to the maritime workers.
Scattered cases of disorder were
reported, but the armed troops and
police are generally maintaining
good order.
There are indications that German
agents are behind the strike agltators
and an investigation to this end may
be made by the government.
For the time being Congress is
giving its whole attention to the labor
situation and the GernanaArgentine
troubles are held in allegiance.
The Argentine navy is being mobil-
lied, evidently in fear of an exten-
sion Of the strike to shipping.

Jap Citizenship Case
Goes to Supreme Court

San Francisco, May 25-The first
appeal for citizenship by a Japanese
ever to reach an upper federal court,
according to officials, was filed here
yesterday in the United States cir
cult court of appeals by Ozawa, a
merchant OF Honolulu.
Ozawa sets forth that he came to
the United States in 1902 and since
has been refused citizenship both in
Alameda county, Oakland, Cal, and
in Honolulu. His point on appeal is
that an act Of congress passed June
p, 1906, and relating to naturaliza-
ti9ns, does not refer TO races or colors
and in its nature supersedes other
acts which do.

NEBRASKA READY
TO REGISTER ALL
OFAGE FORD DRAFT
Boards for Enumerating Eligi-
bles for, War Service Filled
by Volunteers in Every
County of State.

Completion under the sclectlve con-
scription law of registration boards
in the ninety-threc counties of Ne
braska is announced by Governor
Keith Neville, with the additional in
formation that with few exceptions
the boards will be comprised Of vol
unteers who will work without pay.
Within-a single day of sixteen
hours every male citizen in the state,
including inmates of public institu-
tions, between the ages of q and 81,
inclusive, must register or be liable
TO punishment by confinement in a
penitentiary. The day. set is June 5.
+ Governor Neville expressed his con-
viction that the work would progress
rapidly and be thorough, SO that at
the end of the day--at 9 o'clock at
night-the registration would be fin
ished 1t has been estimated there
are 100000 men in the state who will
come under the law.
All Not to Be Called. Il,
All of these men, OF course, will not
be called to the colors! The WASH
ington government has sought to I'M
press upon citizens that Registration
does not mean draft" but simply the
securing of data upon which selection
will be based.
When the registration is complete
the figures will be telegraphed Gov
ernor Neville, who will in turn wire
them to Washington. In this con-
nection the governor has urged reg
istrars TO advise him promptly at the
close of the day the results of the
registration.
Governor Neville said registrars
had volunteered quickly in all the
counties Of the state and that sheriffs
and county clerks, who will direct the
registration in the counties, had been
furnished necessary blanks and de-
tailed instructions so that there would
be no delay. ~
The volunteer registrars--3,000 in
the state, or two for each precinct
are almost without exception prom
inent menY A large number, many
more than needed, volunteered their
services.
May Claim Exemptions.
Necessity that the registration be
thorough has been urged upon the
registration boards. Provost Marshal
General E. II. -Crowder at Washing
ton has issued statement emphasiz-
ing the fact that mo man within the
prescribed age limit except those in
the regular army or navy, the Ma
tional Guard, i'll federal service or the
reserve divisions Of the naval service
are excused from registration for
military service.
