Hilton Too Busy Behind
Bar to Appear at Police
Hearing; Fight Frame-up

Gross misstatements of fact are
attributed to The Patriot. organ of
the local Democratic machine, to-
day by friends of John Barr, who
struck Harry D. Hilton, bartender at
the Bolton hotel. after having been
insulted by Hilton Friday night.
Barr's friends say the whole affair
was a "frame-up" for the purpose
of providing The Patriot with ma
terial for the kind of stories it has
been running since the row. They
assert that they tried to procure a
hearing for Barr Saturday afternoon
at the police, court, but that influence
was used to have the hearing post
poned in order that news of the
"frame-up" would not be brought
out until after the primary elections,
Hilton sending word that his "busi-
ness was too brisk Saturday after
Moons to permit him appearing in
court.
Another falsehood in The Patriot
account was that Senator Beidleman
had appeared as Bars counsel. The
Senator was not present. Barr ap-
peared as his own counsel. The whole
effort to make political capital from
trivial affair has been spoiled, APP
parenty, by too great stretching OF
the facts.

Crowder Urges Immediate
Physical Examination of
All Men of Draft Age

Washington. Sept. 17.-If a large
part OF the governors of the states
approve suggestion by the provost
marshal general, an immediate ex-
animation of the 100000 men regis
tered for military service and not yet
called for duty, will be begun.
The suggestion was made with a
view to satisfying the great number
of young men as to what they might
expect.
Telegrams asking opinions on the
advisability of such action were sent
to all states, and it is expected that
all replies will be received early next
week. To secure the $500 men al
ready called for service it was found
necessary to examine approximately
100000.
Under the plan considered, candi-
dates would know whether they are
to be selected, and could make plans
accordingly.

PENNSY STRIKE
LOOKS CERTAIN
Telegraphers to Go Out To-
morrow Unless Demands
Are Granted
By Associated Press

Reading, Pa, Sept. IA more
serious phase on the impending trou-
BILE among telegraphers on the
Schuylkill division of the Pennsylva-
ria Railroad, was developed to-day
when they issued an ultimatum that
there will be a walkout at Z o'clock
tomorrow morning unless their de-
mands are complied with.
The telegraphers of the Schuylkill
division of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road say they are an independent
organization and deny that they are
affiliated with any union. They insist
on getting SO per day wage, with
time and half time for Sunday and
overtime and two days off per month
with a full pay and an annual vaca-
ton.
Thirty Per Cent. Increase
The increase in wages asked for
would amount to about 80 per cent.
OF the 107 operators, 103 are with
those who demand more pay and
who have determined to walkout If
refused, claim the telegraphers.
There are no troop trains scheduled
| to run over the Schuylkill division in
| the near future. The company has
| not refused the demands of the men,
but has asked for reasonable time
to consider the proposition.
| Some hours after the ultimatum
of the telegraphers of the Schuyl-
kill division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad that they intended to strike
tomorrow morning the men recon-
sidered their walkout agreement
and assurance was given the officials
here at noon to-day that the pro-
posed walkout would be postponed
in order to give them more time to
meet their demands. The latter are
now in the hands of the company in
Philadelphia. The men say that they
will not walkout for several days al
least If their requests are not
| granted.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
BY COUNTY CHAPTER

The Executive Committee of the
Charlevoix County Chapter of the
American Red Cross has received this
night the resignation of its Chairman
Lieutenant II. w. Dicken, M. D., and
accepts the same with mingled feelings
OF sorrow and gladpess.
We regret to lose from our Com.
mittee and from our. County one who
has given such whole-hearted and
efficient service in the work of Red
Cross Relief. We shall miss the Doc
tors broad viewpoint and timely coun-
sell But we pledge ourselves to great
er exertions in carrying on the work
which he has helped us understand
and appreciate.
We count our County as specially
honored that thus early in the war it is
to be represented in the relief and
hospital work in the person of Lieut.
Dicken. That he should leave a large
and flourishing practice in answer to
his country's call, we hail as true
patriotism. That he should leave his
wife and children to serve his country
on the battle-line, we believe in the
true spirit of America. We congratu-
late him on his offer of service and its
acceptance by the Government. We
rejoice to believe that our soldiers will
have the best OF care because of his
work in the army. We pray God that
his life may be safe and that soon he
may return to live among us. We
pledge him and pledge our country our
unswervering loyalty to the maintain
ance of the Red Cross Work.

| would enlist in this company. 1t is a
military axiom, like captain, like com
pany, and there are few better company
commanders in the state today than
Capt. Henry L. Winters. His lieuten-
ants are also fine, hard working men.
"The man who goes into Company
is sure OF a square deal, and OF thorough
military education. His health will be
looked after closely, and he will not be
overworked. He will, in short, receive
the treatment that is given son in a
family. This is impossible in the con-
script companies where all will be
strangers. My advice is, by all means,
get into the home company.
