Mrs. Humiston then reiterated and
amplifed the charges Of immortality in
training camps which ehe made before
the dinner of the Women Lawyers As
sociation on Thursday night. One OF
the statements which she made in re-
gard to conditions at Camp Upton is
apparently the revival OF rumor which
has already been investigated and de-
MED by no less an authority than Major
General Bell himself.

Of two girls down there" she said, "by

Mrs. Humiston did not explain why
her informants did not present their
witness testimony to the military
or county authorities. shortly AFTER the
first batch Of the drafted men went
into camp, this same story was spread
broadcast. General Bell, when he took
command at Upton, ordered an investi-
CATION and found that the report was
absolutely without foundation.

dsv the possibility Of the truth of Mrs

Mrs. Hun,iston Won't
Proue Her Camp Charge

Mrs. Grace Humiston, who, or
Thursday night accused the men in

upon innocent girls, refused yester.

Training Camp Activities.

Mr.. Fosdick in his dispatch denied
most emphatical'y Mrs. Humiston's

her allegations "damnable" and "the
grossest eXaggeration."

McAdoo Spikes Rumor
Of Bank Seizures

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Recurrence
in many sections OF the country Of the
old rumor that the government intends
10 seize bank deposits caused Secretary
McAdoo TO issue this statement to-
night:
Among the many absurd and vicious
rumors which are being put into circu-
lation these days probably through pro-
German influences. is one that the gov
eminent proposed TO confiscate the
money on deposit in the banks. The
absurdity of the statement is obvious
on its face, but | have received letters
from several parts of the country
which indicate that this rumor is being
circulated for an evil purpose. or
course, these rumors are wholly with
out foundation. In fact, the govern
ment has no power TO conhscate the
money OF depositors in banks"

All Men Married
Since May IS Are
Subject to Draft
No Temporary Discharge
for Those Welded Since
Law Was Passed

The Judges who have sat since the
middle of August and decided in 7o,Ooo
instances whether the drafted men VINO
had appealed TO them ought TO De
called into the National Army or dis
charged laid aside their robes yester-
day. After passing on 1900 appeals
most of them merely formal, the MEM
bers Of the District Board, Of which
Charles Evans Hughes is chairman
virtually completed their part OF rails
ing this city's first full quota.
For the second draft the personnel
of the District Board will be UNI
changed, it is understood. But the
membership of the 1S9 local boards
may be increased from three to hve.
Rober B. Wood. director of the draft
in this city, announced last night thaI
Adiutant General Sheriff. had formal
w advised the War Department that
the efficiency of the New York local
boards would be heightened II the
change were made.
Eleven Thousand to Go to Camp Soon
The remaining men who have been
selected, but not yet called for SER
vice in the first draft army, 1000 OF
them, constituting 80 per cent OF the
entire quota, will be modified IN one
contingent, Mr.. Wood said. They. VIII
probably begin to go to Camp Upton
within ten days, he said.
The various subcommittee of the
District Board have begun to tabulate
the work of three months in passing
on appeals cases. In appeals by regis,
trants from the decision of the local
board only in one case out Of four was
the drafted man successful. In orig
inal applications for discharge on IN
dustrial grounds the applicants we're
excused from military service four
times out Of ten.
Local boards were reversed in their
decisions in dependency cases more
than in any other. The most frequent
w accepted ground of appeal was the
dependent wife claim. The district
board made it an invariable rule. to
exempt men who were married before
Nav IS and who had wives dependent
on their labor for support The next
most effective claim was that OF having
a dependent widowed mother, and the
next in order was the claim of having
dependent parents" The least eff
fective basis of appeal was physical
disability. The district board reversed
the lower boards on this ground only
in about fifty cases since the draft
started.
Members of the district board said it
seemed practically certain that Con-
qress would require men who have at
tanned the age of twenty-one since
May 1s and up to December 10 to reg
ister for the second draft, adding about
coo, 900 men to the available list. 1t is
estimated that in finding about $4,000
elgibles for the first draft the local
board of this city examined 10000
men. All exemptions and discharges
will be revoked on December 10, Mr.;
Hughes reminded the district board
yesterday.
