The World Is indebted to many
good people, both for their contribu-
tions to this fund and kind words and
efforts in its behalf. Rev. j. w.
Darby of the First Christian church
had the following notice in his church
bulletin last Sunday:
THE Tulsa World Is conducting n
milk and ice fund campaign for the
care of the babies In this city. We
know of no more worthy cause than
this one, and your pastor urges that
all who are able make some contribu-
tion to this fund A few dimes
properly used in buying milk and ice
oftentimes saves the life OF n child.
These children OF poor families are
Improperly fed. and the undertakers
tell us that they are averaging n baby
funeral per day. With three firms in
this city this means that nearly one
hundred babies are dying every month
in Tulsa. Help the milk and ice fund"
Listen now to the words OF n
physician, DIR. Thomas NJ. Iaskins:
Your appeal to the public for con-
trtbutions TO the ice and milk fund
for babies of the poor is most worthy,
as II not only means comfort to these
little ones but actually their preserva-
ton. Please find inclosed my check
for s10.'
VIII you help make it $1,000 by the
end of this week?

MYSTERY IN SUICIDE
OF JENKS YOUNG MAN
Motive of j. w. Wooten in

Much Speculation.

revolver to his forehead. James VIII
liam WOoten, property owner Of
jerks, shot and killed himself at 2
O'Clock yesterday morning at his
home in jerks. No intimation of his
act was given by the man and rela-
tives are puzzled to understand what
motive could have prompted Wooten.
Vexation and dependency over a
jealous quarrel with his wife. whom
he had accompanied to a dance that
night, is the only reason that Is
ascribed for the mans action. Wooten
was 23 years old and in a good condi-
ton both as regards health and
finances.
According to one story circulated in
explanation Of the tragedy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wooten, who have been married
only IS months, attended dance at
Kiefer Monday night and returned
early yesterday morning In their auto
mobile. A gentleman friend accom-
panied them.
At point some distance from
jerks, Wooten Is thought to have be-
come displeased with his wife and to
have forced her to get out OF the auto
mobile. Leaving her to walk to town,
he is said to have driven home. gone
Immediately to his rooms and shot
himself a moment after his arrival!
The young wife arrived a short time
later TO find her husband dead.
Wooten was the owner of business
block In jerks and devoted himself to
maintaining II as well as running a
hotel and restaurant therein. In ad
dition to his wife Wooten leaves a
father and mother. Mr.. and Mrs Will
liam r. Wooten, who live In jerks.
The body was brought to Tulsa yes
terday and burial will be here.

Ing IA total for the county of 703. The

are for the city proper. Aside from
the cities, oklahoma county will give
ia. Muskogee county 227, and Tulsa

ALIEN DRAFT TING IS PROPOSED
Resolution Urges lmpressing
Citizens of Allies Now in the
United States on Same Basis
as Americans.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Advices
the provost marshal general indicated
that the national lottery to determine
the order OF liability OF ten million
men registered for military service
could be held next Friday. Prepara-
tons to make the drawing on that
day went ahead rapidly. altho final
decision as to>the exact hour cannot
be made until the last governor has
actually reported that the local ex-
emption boards In his state have fin
ished their task.
Details Of the mechanism to be en-
ployed in the drawing have not been
revealed. 1t is known definitely. how
ever. that present plans are for the
lottery to take place in the capitol
building with the members of the sem
ate and house military committees AS
witnesses. The entire proceeding Is
not expected to take much more than
one hour.
Big job for Newspapers.
General Crowder was in conference
today with the newspaper correspond
ents over arrangements for the draw
ing The press is relied upon to carry
to individuals thruout the country the
informatio as to when they will be
required to appear before exemption
boards. and for that reason every eff
fort Is being made to suit the services
OF the papers AS to details.
The task of transmitting the long
lists OF numbers by telegraph is n prob
lem Of considerable proportions but
the press associations and telegraph
companies are making efforts to in
sure both speed and absolute accuracy
in transmission There is more con-
Germ over the task of the individual
newspaper after they receive by wire
the results of the drawings In large
communities. The problem of print
ing the serial numbers with the names
OF the men they represent in each dis
trict attached is one Of staggering pro-
portions.
Alien Registration Proposed.
While the provost marshal generals
office was busy clearing up the last
details for the drawing the problem of
alien registrants other than enemy
aliens came before the senate in a
resolution introduced by Senator
Chamberlain, chairman Of the military
committee 1t provides for the draft
Ing for military service OF citizens OF
countries at war with Germany who
are now residing In the United States
upon the same terms as American citi-
zens are liable under the national army
bill.
The resolution seeks to meet the
views OF the state department. how
ever, by excepting from its action citl-
zens of countries which have treaties
with the United States prohibiting enr
forced military employment of the ma
tionals of each party in the territory
of the other. There has been no in
dication whether It will have admins
tration approval.
