RIGID RULES TO GOVERN
SELECTIONS FOR ARMY
Baseball Players, Actors Au-
thorS and Artists Are
Not Exempted

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Baseball
players. artists, actors and authors
must take their chances with the other
100000 men in the great selective
service lottery. There are no provisions
for their exemption from military serv-
ice in the exemption regulations. it
became definitely known today.
Unless they are indispensable" and
serve to contribute to the mainten-
ance of the military organization or
the national interest in the emergen-
cy," such men will be subject to call.
That is the answer inQuirers are
getting to questions about men in these
classes.
Several managers of baseball league
teams have asked the war department
whether their players will be subject
to CONSUMPTION.
An inquiry from an artists colony
in Greenwich Village, in New York, was
answered by pointing out that prac-
tically all of Frances famous artists
are in the trenches
Big, hard callouses on the hands Will
be one of the contributing causes for
exemption from military service for
farmers.
Among other things, the appellate
exemption boards will take into oonsid-
Grafton the length Of time certain
farmers" have been tilHng the soil
and the circumstances of their choice
of that vocation. And calloused hands
constitute part of the evidence.
Would-be "slackers" by hundreds are
fleeing big cities to work on farms,
hoping thereby to be classed as farmers
and escape military service
Reports to this effect to the war de-
partment. in some cases giving names,
were turned over to the department Of
justice Some Of the "shirkers" offered
tc work during the summer for prac-
tically nothing but board and room.
This aroused the suspicion Of the farm
ers. who reported the unusual situation
to the war department.
But the subterfuges Of these self
made farmers will be Of little avail
The appellate boards of exemption
will scrutinize closely every claim for
exemption for occupational reasons and
take into consideration the length Of
time the claimants have pursued their
trade Employers may be called upon
TO testify to the circumstances.
Most of the tips so far on would-be
sIackers have come from New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg and Detroit.

New York'S Moral Lapse
Freighted With Horror

NEW YORh, June 21.-The work of
digging UP the cellar of every building
occupied by Alfredo Cocchi, in whose
shop the body of Ruth Cruger was found
buried last Saturday, to learn if moro
girls met similar fate, was begun to-
day. In addition detectives working I'M
der direction of Inspector Joseph II.
Faurot were assigned to investigate ev-
cry phase Of Cocchis life in this city.
Inspector Faurot has been relieved of all
other police duty and ordered to make
a most sweeping investigation of the po-
lice department since its organization.
Policemen and detectives of the fourth
branch detective bureau who had any
thing to do with the Cruger case were
called before Inspector Faurot last night.
Early today at the conclusion of their
visit the inspector said they had been
working on the theory that Miss Cruger
was missing and not that she was dead.
They should have found the body, he
said.
Search of the Cocchi shop having fall
ed to reveal any weapon with which Miss
Cruger was murdered, an order was is
sued today forbidding the auction sale
tomorrow Of the contents by the new
owners.
In an open letter to Mayor Mitchell
made public today Henry D. Cruger,
father Of the murdered girl. asks for the
removal Of Commissioner Woods and the
reorganization of the police department
under a new head.
No word of the arrest in Italy OF Coo
chi has been received by the police and It
is feared that he has fed from Bologna
where news was last received from him.
Both Commissioner Woods and District
Attorney Swan are working on the
theory that Cocchi is the key to the
white slave traffic in this city as revealed
by Mrs Grace Humiston, attorney for the
Cruger family Eight detectives were
assigned today to the bureau Of missing
persons. Records of the bureau show
that since January 1, between 700 ana
500 girls and young women have been
reported as missing.

"a destructive fire has been raging

Quick Response to First Call
Encourages Extension to
Wider Usefulness

Owing to the generous response OF
Honolulans and in view of the action
Of the soldiers at Leilehua, who have
pledged themselves to care for 0O
French babies, the local committee OF
the fund for the Fatherless Children
of France has decided to increase the
number OF French children to be pro
vided for by this city from $50 TO ooV'
It is announced, however, that from
now on no child's name can be an
nounced until the sum OF $3.50 re-
quired for its maintenance has been
received by the treasurer from one
person or group of persons.
In connection with the campaign
for the fatherless children, the local
committee is in receipt Of a notice
sent out from New York headquarters
as follows:
This is to inform you that notice
has been sent out by the War Relief
Clearing House for France and her
Allies, through whom our shipments
were made, an extract Of which fol-
lows:
Owing to the overtaxed and con-
gested conditions Of land and ocean
transportation facilities due to the alb
normal demands upon them which
now exist, the War Relief Clearing
House for France and Her Allies finds
it necessary, greatly to its regret, to
ask contributors using its facilities
to forward only contributions Of
money, hospital supplies, hospital
clothing and soldiers kits, until fur
ther notice.
There are a great many articles
needed by the orphans, which can be
purchased in France, and we urgently
request that you make cash contribu-
tons as generous as possible, instead
of sending merchandise.
Owing to the above mentioned rea-
sons, Demetre Bros. & Beals have Of
fered to send, free of charge to the
contributor, instead of parcels as
heretofore, all money for the French
orphans, through their partners in
Paris, the firm known as Demetre,
