STATE BEGINS
REAL WORK FOR
CONSCRIPTION
Jail Sentences For Men Who
Refuse TO Serve as
Registrars

Pennsylvania to-day began the
real work of preparing for the con-
scriptiVe registration on June 5.
Following yesterdays impressive
meeting in the Governors reception
room in the Capitol where every
sheriff and every mayor in the State,
tHe boards of registration and other
county and municipal officers met to
receive their instructions from the
Federal government, through Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, these officials to-
day set about organizing their coun-
ties or cities.
The directions given the officials
were as complete as the Governor
was able to make them, and he will
communicate with every county and
municipality from time to time as
he gets further instructions from
Washington, giving orders or modi-
ready sent out.
The Governor impressed upon the
officials having charge of the regis
tration that it will be Jail offense
for any one commanded to serve to
refuse to do so. The sheriffS and
the mayors will have wide powers to
carry out the mandates of Congress
and the President The Governor
also impressed upon all present that
if there is any question they cannot
decide, they should Immediately
wire him and also report all in
stances where citizens refuse to
serve in registering the men who
come within the conscription act.
One to Escape
The Governors stan expects TO
have very busy time the next two
weeks, as the executive offices will
be the central directing point for the
entire State. The Department of
Health will also be active in naming
medical directors to serve on the
central boards in the counties and
, cities.
Under the instructions and rulings
OF the Governor, there is probably
but one man in the entire State be-
tween 81 and 80 years of age, who
will not be registered. He is a con-
demned man in the penitentiary at
Bellefonte, sentenced to be electro
cuted on July 8. The Governor in
reply to a question said he could not
be registered. but that he wished he
could. All male prisoners within
the age limits in penitentiaries and
reformatcries in the jurisdiction of
the State authorities will be regis
tered by the wardens, whether they
are life prisoners or not. Their ex-
emption will be attended to later.
Prisoners in county iails or local
Iockups will be registered by the
local registrars.

affairs and that Count Tisza was the
one great obstacle which prevented
him from freeing his empire from
the influence of Potsdam.
There have been several reports
recently that the fall of Premier Tis-
