By Webb Miller.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, July THE fate Of
9.649, ,93S men on the national army reg
istration rolls win be held in huge
glass bowl filled with little gelatine
capsules.
The numbers on paper squares in each
Of these capsules win designate the
men drafted for America s armies.
A final plan of the unique method
of singing out the men for the first
levy is before Secretary Baker today.
Unless a shift is made in present ar
rangements, this is the method of the
draft lottery:
Squares of paper numbered serially
will be placed in gelatine capsules.
These will be thrown into big trans
parent globe. On the day Of the draft,
capsules will be drawn at random from
the globe. Each slip indicates for
draft every man bearing that number
In each of the more than 1000 counties
and citiesc in the nation.
The slips are numbered from one up
as high as the number of men register
ed in the largest precinct in the coun-
try.
President Wilson's advisory board
has settled upon this method as the
fairest that can be devised. Every ac-
tion is open to the public scrutiny
May Draw Whole Number.
The drawing will probably be held in
some large room in the war department.
A committee of prominent men will be
appointed to act as official witnesses,
testifying to the impartiality of the lot
terry.
In the provost marshal generals Of
flee today clerks were busy numbering
the half inch slips that will choose the
draft army.
As soon as the last precinct has COM
pleted its organization and affixed the
red ink serial numbers to the registra-
ton cards, the draft lottery will take
place in Washington.
Although General Crowder urged eg-
cry board to complete their labor by
today, officials assert that the draft
may be delayed through next week by
designations from the local boards.
President Wilson himself has given
consideration to the various plans for
the draft lottery.
1t has not yet been fully decided
whether the first drawing should cover
only enough men for the first levy or
the entire 9,649,93S registered. In the
latter case, the numbers of every man
registered will be listed in the order
drawn and this list will stand for future
levies, the second draft TO begin at the
serial number in each district where the
first draft ended.

Admit Such Uprising Was
Intended

East st. Louis, ILL.,, Jul y7.-Develop.
ments of the county grand jury probe at
Belleville today, into the rioting Of
Monday and Tuesday here, which cost
the lives of at least 32 negroes and five
white men, are awaited with keenest
interest here. 1t is known that rep
resentative from the office of Attorney
General Brundage will be present to see
that local official use proper diligence
in conducting the probe which is ex'
pected to reveal ensati6nal testimony,
involving DR.. /. n. Bundy, negro dem
tist and black leader, who is alleged
to have been the brains of the negro
uprising which resulted in the killing OF
two white detectives and precipitated
the race riots Bundy has disappeared.
That negroes had planned an exten-
sive uprising for July 4, and were arm.
ed and prepared to carry it out, is al.
legged to have been stated by numerous
negroes questioned at the coroner's in.
quest yesterday. The inquest was secret.
Sixteen blacks were questioned and
five are said to have admitted they
were members Of the mob which early
Monday morning killed Detective Cop
pedge and inflicted wounds on Patrol
man Wodley, of which he later died.
Statements credited to Mrs. Ida Wells
Barnes, former teacher in a negro high
school and a well educated negress,
said that other negro outbreaks are ex-
pected in different cities.
" Chicago is powder box which any
incident is apt to explode" Mrs. Barnes
is quoted as having said, "and the me-
groes are all armed and prepared to
protect their homes"
Mrs Barnes is here helping her peo-
pie, she said, and insisted the only con-
dition under which they would return
to East st. Louis was the ferreting out
and hanging Of the. white murderers Of
the negroes.

steel bridge across the Willamette here

He feels that the steel company has
prod IN his ribs, as he and his COM
missioners represent the county. The
cost of the new bridge is felt to be ex-
cessive in view Of the fact that the
estimated price short time ago was
about $1S6,000.
In Judge Bushey's estimation, the
war is not all responsible for the great
advance in the price Of steel as quoted
in the bid Of the Coast Construction
company, which was the lowest bidder.
The Judge says that the steel company
in the east, from which the Coast Con-
struction company gets its steel, is
furnishing the United States govern
ment with steel at $56 a ton, while the
price quoted in the bid was $3.50 a
ton.
