bOARD LISTS IA WHO FAIL T0 APPEAR
 FOR EXAMINAT T|0N

Two sides of story must be told even though one side is not as pleasant as it might be- this is the case of the present draft-the giving out of the lists of the heroes, who are to fight for the country, and the second list that of he slackers.
 The official list of all men who did not appear for examination when called, was completed last evening by the local exemption board. These men are termed "slackers," as well as those who failed to register, all liable to ar rest and Imprisonment under the draft law, which gives the penalty as one year imprisonment.
 In issuing the list last evening the board made the statement that in some of the cases. where a name appears in the list, there is a legitimate excuse, as not receiving the notice, but that the majority do not deserve any name other than stacker"
 The list includes 174 names of the first call of 772 men. This number added to the 15S certified to the district board leaves 240 as having been eX empted or discharged
 The list of those who failed to re- port. as given out last evening by the local exemption board, follows:

STRIKE II INN. N()T
 SUCCESS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20.-Peace and quiet prevailed today throughout the northwest states of Washington, oregon, Idaho and Montana. where a strike of thousands of Industrial Workers of the World in the con- structiOn, harvesting and fruit in dustries was scheduled to take place under orders of the organization learers A survey of the situation tonight showed that every line of industry to be affected by the pro- posed strike pursued it's normal, or derly way, ard so far as could be as certained only one attempt was made by members of the l. W. W. to carry into effect the strike order issued recently by James Rowan, district secretary of the organization with headquarters at Spokane, who ad- Vised farm workers to let fruit rot on the ground" and calling on con structiOn workers to lay down their tools Eighty harvest hands at St Johns, Wash, struck because a fel low Industrial Worker held in jail had not been released.
 The swift and unexpected actior last night of military authorities at Spokane acting in conjunction with Washington state officials in arrest ing Rowan and tWenty-siX other al legged members of the Industrial Workers of the World is believed to have exerted powerful influence in deterring the radical members Of the organization from precipitating .; strike which, it is admitted, would have had serious and far reaching results. The arrests were made al the instance of Colonel Clarence r. Dentler, commander of the United States army in the northwest, because it was considered that the proposed strike would interfere with the pros ccution of the war.
 The 2 men who were arrested bs Major Clement Wilkins, Tn charge of the national guardsmen who raided the l. w. w. headquarters at Spo- kare, are held as military prisoners, and will be examined within a few days, and some of them, it was said, probably will be released. The ex animation will be conducted by Major Wilkins and until he has completed his investigation the prisoners will be held incommunicado.
 It was announced today at the headquarters of Colonel Dentler at Portland that 15O0O troops were avail able in the four northwest states for eventualities.
 Advices today from Wallace, Idaho. stated that troops had been placed in the Occur d'Alene mining district to preserve order.
 From Seattle reports were received that the |. W. W. construction work CTS in that district would take a strike referendum vote September 1G

KILLED BY AN ARC LAMP
Patrolman Burns, Trying to Fix 1t,
Is Electrocuted-

Patrolman Michael J. Burns, OF
the Baltimore bicycle squad, was
killed almost instantly about 7 o'clock
last night when he attempted to re-
LIGHT an electric lamp in front OF
4O12 Park Heights avenue.
Shortly after the current was
turned on the lamp began to sputter
and several of the residents in the
ncighborhood complained Of the flash
ing. Patrolman Burns came along OF
his bicycle. His attention was called
TO the lamp by a passer-by and ne
stated that he could make the light
come up again to its normal power
by tapping on the chain that leads
from a peg about six feet up the
polc to the lamp itself.
This chain is used to lower the
lamp for cleaning and repairs. Inc
natrolman stood upon his bicycle,
reached up and grasped the chaln
with the intention of giving it sew
eraI vigorous shakes and thus release
the carbon sticks, which at times
become clogged. AS the light burst
forth Burns was hurled four feet
into the roadway and severaf persons
who were watching ran to his as
sistance, He.was found to be dead.

Governor Disposes Of Rumor Eman-
ating in Washington That He
Might Oppose Senator Martin.

Governor Henry c. Stuart, whose
name political gossip has several
times linked with the Office of United
States Senator from Virginia, yes
terday finally disposed of the rumor
that he has now any intention Oh
entering the lists next year against
Senator Thomas S. Martin, who will
90 before the people at that time for
reelection.
The Governors denial was in reply
to an article sent from Washington
to Norfolk paper, in which it was
said that friends of Governor Stuart
who have been in Washington re-
Gently have said that the Governor
would. in all human probability, be
candidate for the Senate next
year for the seat now occupied by
Senator Thomas S. Martin.
Governor Stuart disposed of the
suggestion in the following language:
81 have never even considered do
ing what the Washington dispatch
suggests. I have no present pur-
pose to be a candidate at any time
for any office. My administration
as Governor has been governed by
this position
"When the Governor took office
he said that he would not, while
Governor, run for any other place. At
that time it would have been neces-
sary for him to enter the senatorial
primary before his term as Governor
expired or leave the field entirely to
others.
"But the whirligig of time makes
queer turns. Since the beginning of
Governor Stuart's incumbency the
constitutional amendment making
senators subject TO popular election
has been ratified and the system has
undergone a considerable change. The
primary for the Virginia senatorial
term from March 4. 1919, to March
1. 1925, will be held in 1alS, after
the new Governor shall have been
inauguarted and Governor Stuart
will be free to 60 after the senator
ship without breaking his promise to
the people.
"Of course, getting the nomination
is another thing. There is no indl-
cation that Senator Martin, never
yet defeated, is any more disposed
to step down now than he has been
since he was first sent to Washing
tor"

LARGEST ENGINE BUILT.

comotive to Pull String OF Coal
Cars Over the Hills.

Norfolk. Va, Jan. 23.-The Vir-
ginian Railway Company has re-
ceived from the Baldwin Locomotive
Works of Philadelphia the largest
locomotive in use in the South, and
the most powerful engine on any road
in the country. 1t is known as a
triple articulated compound, and is
Of the same type as the engine built
bv the same company for the Erie
Railway in 1914 and which up to now
has had the reputation of being the
most powerful machine on wheels.
The new engine the Virginian now
has weighs S44, 1000 pounds and it's
tractive force is 166,300 pounds. The
engine and tender combined, for the
tender is in these types made pract-
ically part of the whole locomotive,
are about 105 feet long.
Pulling unusually heavy coal trains
over Clark's Gap Hill, near Elmore,
W. Va, is the particular work to
which the new locomotive will be
put. 1t is numbered 700, and cost
moro than $4,000, but it is said that
this contract price could not now be
duplicated on account of the in
creased cost Of labor and materials
established since the building of it
began.

PLEA TO SPARE PRIESTS.
State Department Sends Earnest APP
peal to Carranza on Behalf of Ac-
cused Clergy.

An earnest appeal to General Car
rama to spare the lives of two Roman
Catholic priests arrested near Mexico
City last week and charged with sedi
ton. has been made by the State
Department. The priests We're to be
tried today under an old law giving
the court the right to impose the
death penalty without appeal.
One is an archbishop, MonSignor
Francisco Orozco, Of Guadalajara,
and the other is Bishop Miguel de la
Mcra, of Zacatecas. Both are Mexi-
cans.
The department explained that its
action was taken with the double
motive of humanitanism, and to pre-
vent the de facto government from
sanctioning an act whose character
it was felt would shock other ma
tions.
The charges against the priests
are that they were implicated in a
plot to further Villas plans, for the
overthrow of Carranza. The infor-
nation received at the State Depart
ment indicated little basis for the
charges, and the improbability OF
their truth was indicated by the
known antipathy between the clergy
and Villa
