BULLET FIRED BY CUARDSMAN
 KILLS BANKER

Callicoon, N. Y., April 9-John Der ing, a. banker and business man of this city, was accidentally shot aud killed by a sentry of Company 5, Seventy first Regiment, here Saturday night. Private John Kelly, who was on guard duty near the home of Der ing, is under arrest at the headqua1 = ters of the company pending lnvestI- gation of the shooting by the military authorities and District Attorney Hen ry F. Gardner.
 MT. Dering was seated in his lib rary at 6:30 o'clock on Saturday night, at E.s home in High View Terrace, when the bullet entered between sill and door, passing through the top of a table, and struck Dering in the side and passed out through his back. The bullet struck against a wood casing on the Side of the room and dropped to the floor. MT. Dering died six hours afterward.
 Private Kelly, who is recent re- cruit, admitted he had fired, but in- sisted he had aimed at a prowler who had run when ordered to stop. The District Attorney does not question the apparent fact that the shooting was accidentally, but he does doubt Kelly's version of it, that he had fired from a point where he was sta toned as a guard. Six persons, two women and four men, told the Dis trict Attorney that Kelly could not have fired the shot from the place where he says he was standing.
 The Dering home is situated on a terrace thirty five feet above the roadway, and had the soldier fired, as he says he did, from the guardpoint, the District Attorneys informants said, the bullet would have entered the second floor of the house instead of the first floor, where MT. Dering was sitting. These persons cohtended to the District Attorney that Kelly was off his post, and that his life must have been discharged accident ally, point blank at the side door of the house. indicating that. he must have been on the opposite side of the house t0 that which he said faced him from where he stood.
 Mr. Dering was 60 years old. He leaves wife and four children.

INDUSTRIES Volunteer

Further details Of the plans OF the
Council of National Defense to curtaii
non-essential industries. and TO seek
to convert such industries to meet war
time needs, as announced in The Star
yesterday, were made known today.
In brief. the full scope OF the plan IS
this:
To seek to bring about conversion OF
plants now used for products not con-
sidered needful by the establishment
Of a bureau of manufacturing re-
sources. with which owners OF sucn
plants may confer about the production
of needful commodities.
To bring pressure to bear through
several channels, including the priorl-
ties committee OF the war industries
board. the railroads war board. fuel
administration and the Department OF
Labor. to curtail the buying OF sup
plies. the shipment Of them. the coal
supply allowed and the labor allotted.
to those industries which now are
turning out luXuries.
To encourage the use OF plants TOT
needful work by putting manufacturers
in touch with opportunities to get war
contracts for materials which their
plants might produce.

Less Hesitation and Loss.

Establishment of the bureau is ex-
pected to eliminate much of hesitation
and possible loss in business as war
demands call for a curtailment of non
essential industries. 1t was stated au-
thoritatively that the council would
make no arbitrary classification OF in
dustries as necessary and unnecessary,
but would let the question OF curtail-
ment be decided by the available sup
uIy OF raw materials, coal and trans
portation facilities. To characterize any
business as non-essential. it was point
ed out, might foster an unfair public
sentiment against a legitimate trade.

mands of the Army and the demands Of
an industry conflict. the industry must
give way, but it is expected that com
plete cooperation with the govern
ment will be given by all and that the
new bureau of manufacturing resources
will be able to apportion war contracts
in some measure to every factory DE-
prived Of its usual work.

Industries Volunteering.

Already some industries have volun-
teered to curtail their production. ana
their representatives have come to
Washington to learn how they might
utilize their machinery for needful
work. Examples are groupe OF Jewel
makers, who have been told they can
make fuses, surgical needles ana otner
articles, and silk manufacturers VINO
are seeking to make aeroplane wings
and shell cases.
In line with this effort the Council
Of National Defense will seek to cor
relate the work of the railroads war
board, the fuel administration and
other agencies working to divert raw
materials and labor to those industries
which are engaged in needful produc-
ton.
The new bureau will be a part of the
war industries board. the councrs
most effective agent in carrying out
plans for supplying the Army with
necessities. Manufacturers who have
facilities which they desire to place at
the governments disposal, or those
asked to turn part of their productive
capacity to war work. will deal with
the bureau, which will undertake to
distribute war contracts SO that there
will be a minimum of unsettlement In
any one section and the contract nileo
in the most efficient way.
