 Probably Be Physically Disquali- fled. T 0 pass on Exemptions Soon. The Hot Spring County Selective Board completed its work of examin- ing those who had been summoned from which to select the county's quota of the army, under the selective Draft system, last night. Of the number examined, 73 will probably be physic- ally disqualified. The Board will meet tonight at o'clock to pass fin ally on those who it is thought will be physically exempted. The Board is receiving a large num- Der of applications for exemptions, and will meet shortly to pass on these. It was learned yesterday that Hot Spring eounty's quota has been reduc- ed form 137 to 121, on account of the 16 men who joined the Ambulance corps.
 It has been stated that all men sum moned, reported for examination, with the exception of those who already joined some branch of the army, and few who furnished certificates from a doctor stating that they were unable to attend. These few, however are reporting, and will be given the exami- nation, as they come in. It is impossible at this time, to tell just how many men will be secured from the number examined, as the ex- enaptions have not been passed upon, but will be disposed of very soon The following were examined, and passed Wednesday afternoon: Wna.

SOUND DEATH KNELL
FOR RACING IN THE
ILLINOIS VALLEY.
AURORA TOO SENDS WORD THAT
THEY Will QUIT GAME-oFFi
GERS ELECTED BY LOCAL AS.
SOClATiON.

The death knell for racing in the
Illinois Valley was sounded last even
ing at the meeting of the Ottawa
Driving Park Association when it was
decided to abandoa the racing pro
gram here this year. Simutaneous
with Ottawas decision to quit the
game, for a year at least, came word
from Aurora this morning that they
too would not offer racing program
for the lovers of the turf sport.
officers Elected.
In spite of the fact, however, that
there will be no racing officers were
elected by the local association as fol
lows:
president-C. W. lrion.
Vice e-fresident-W. j. Simon
secretary-W. b. Palmer
Treasurer-Al f. Schoch.
superintendent of Track james +.
Carew.
At the meeting last evening it was
decided the association was unable to
pay the additional increase in rent
asked by the directors of the La Sale
Couny Fair, in view of the fact that
no money was ever made from the
summer meetings here
Attempts to compromise on the in
crease proved futile and the Driving
Park association did not feel that they
could afford to spend a large amount
OF money In getting the track in shape
for the meeting and then too pay an
increase in rental.
Ottawa's Withdrawal from the rae
Ing game. practically means that the
fast 'oathounds' will not be headed
this way. Scores of horse men simply
made the Illinois Valley Circuit be
cause of the meeting here and with
Ottawa's withdrawal. as we'll as
Aurora, the speed merchants Of the
track will not make the circuit.
Aurora Quits.
Up at Aurora the racing game seems
to have been duly inferred. The city
CT lights were Offering mighty classy
rurse ii years past but found that
conditions now existing would not be
well for the turf sport.
Over at Streator there is consider
able talk of staging summer meet
ing, and in all events they will go
thru with their program as originally
planned Streator should draw well
in view of the fact that Ottawa will
net have meeting.
Local lovers of the game here are
willing to boost the sport for Streator
and are in hopes that they will carry
out their program.
Thus far Oregon, Amboy and Men
dota. other cities that are members
Of the Illinois Valley Circuit, have
made no attempts to arrange their
summer program and it is very doubt
full If they will have one.

CHARGES Of YOUNG
GIRL; BROUGHT HERE
GRAY SHELTON, STEWARD OF
STYLISH STREAToR CLUB, Is
NABBED BY REPRESENTATIVES,
OF sHERIFF's OFFICE THIS AZ.
TERNOON.

When Cathleen Hale, fourteen years
old Streator negress testified yester.
day afternoon in her own behalf. in
an effort to induce Judge Mayo not
to send her to Geneva as delinquent,
she paved the way for what promises
to be general tropedoing of some of
Streator Blacktown 400"
Before the judge, Cathleen reserved
much of the story of her dawnfall, and
not until she was locked in the coun.
ty Jail and closely quizzed by Sheriff
II, M. Davis and States Attorney
George s. Wiley did she relax and tell
her past history minus all its frills
and burbelows
As result of her disclosures the au
thOrities are on the trail of Gray Shell
ton, steward of the stylish Streator
club, and as soon as he is arrested he
will be brought to Ottawa and lodged
in the county jail to face grand jury
on charge Of criminal assault. AS
correlation of Kathleen's story the
authorities have testimony of Sadie

who was tried at the same time, and
who says she saw Shelton attack the
Younger girl on several different Occas
sions.
Both Delinquent.
Both Cathleen Hale and Sadie
Brown were found to be delinquent
when they were tried yesterday after
noon and will be taken to Geneva by
Miss Launia Aussem. Their families
are locked upon in Streator as among
the best in the colored settlement OF
that city. When their conduct was
under surveillance the officials had
little trouble weaving web of guilt
about the girls and it did not take
Judge Mayo long. on the testimony he
heard, to ordered them committed to
the state school. A crowd of negroes
came to ottawa, both in defense and
prosecution of the girls.

because these girls are darkies Is
no reason why the full pressure OF the
law should not be brought to bear on
Shelton, II he is guilty" said Sherln
Davis today.
"When heard Cathleen's story and
the yerification given it by the Brown
girl | decided there was only one
course to pursue. Shelton should be
made to go the limit, just as a white
man would unler the same circum-
stances and for one will do my
part in getting him the full PUNISH
ment he deserves" he concluded.
This afternoon Deputy Sheriff Fritz
