How Draft Effects City.


The men will appear before local ex
emption board in the order in which
their number Is drawn. The first
number to be drawn was 25S. The
man who has that number in each OF
the $500 districts throughout the
country will be the first man to ap-
pear before his local board for physi-
cal examination. The second number
ac@wn will designate the second man
to appear before the local board, and
so on.
AS Perth Amboy Is to furnish 621
men, according to the latest ruling,
the first 521 numbers designate the
first to appear before the local board
in this city. When one of the 521 men
is found physically unfit, is exempted
or discharged, the next number
drawn will be taken, and so on until
621 men have qualified in this city.
If every second man should be ex-
empted or discharged for one reason
or another, which is highly improba-
BILE, 1t would require the first 1042
numbers called before Perth Amboy's g
quota is complete. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that II a mans number is
somewhere within the first six or eight
hundred called, he will not be sure
whether he will be drafted or not un-
til after the exemption board has ex-
amined all the men ahead of him and
found 521 acceptable men.
The numbers in the order in which
they were drawn are published one
after the other across the columns,
not one under the other. For in
stance, while 25S rs the first number
drawn, 45s which is the first number
on the second line, is the sixth num-
ber drawn, not the second, as would
have been the case If the numbers
were set up one under the other.

Good Spirits.
NOT A SOLEMN CROWD

Posting of the draft numbers In the
EVENING NEWS created excitement
this morning, seldom seen at any time
except at election and at world series
baseball games. A continual stream Of
people, some anxious, some quietly
patient, all eager to see the numbers
which had been drawn. passed the Of
nee, and examined the numbers.
GOOD natured In general, there was
continual stream of banter and jocu-
larity among the men, and when one
or the crowd would have his number
posted. small groups would form
about him, good naturedly jibing him,
shaking hands, and wishing him all
the luck in the world.
The serio usness of the situation did
not seem to have very marked ef-
rect on the constantly changing
throng. AS each sheet of new num-
bers would be posted the crowd would
press forward and eagerly scan the
lists. Many had cppies OF the EV E15.
ING NEWy-stf Weaknesses, wher5 s3
names and key numbers for thil
were published, and they com 6l16zi

ans who have been drawn.
A large number of anxious women,
and sisters of men who reg
istered In the draft stopped to exam
Inc the sheets. With them the hum
or of the situation was lost, and the
anxious faces, attested to their con-
cern over the drawing at Washington.
Fifteen minutes after the first
notice was posted automobiles were
parked on all sides of the EVENING
NEWS office, and an officer was de-
tailed to keep traffic clear. The in
terest did not abate and many who
left and returned to their places of
business, kept making additional
trips from time to time.
The crowd never diminished but
kept increasing. As the word spread
that the numbers were being posted,
people fiocked from all directions to
the EVENING NEWS office. There
was a large demand for Wednesdays
papers, and the sale soon exceeded
the demand, so anxious were the va
rious persons watching the bulletins
TO pick out the local men.
The scene was similar to those in
foreign countries, as they have been
described from time to time, whera
people gather In front of the places
of public information for news from
the front for names of draft or
other news concerning the world war.
Telephone calls to the EVENING
NEWS came In a continual stream
.oday from persons inquiring about
he draft numbers Throughout the
lay the number OF inquiries in
creased.

P. 8 R. COAL DOCKS
ARE IMPROVED
Extensive Additions to Coal
Handling Machinery at
Port Reading.
By Special Correspondent.


Port Reading, July 20.-Extensive
improvements to provide additional
facilities for the hauling of coal trans
ported over the company's own and
connecting lines have been completed
at an expense of approximately $780,
900, after months of effort by the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad.
A new bumper, similar to the ones
in operation at Perth Amboy, which
pick the cars up bodily and dump
them, has been installed, and Is now
in operation. 1t cost 100000. An
other will probably be Installed
next year. A thawing plant which will
accommodate forty-four cars has been
built and win be used in the winter
1t was built by the Surety Engineering
Company OF New York at cost of
about 100000. A pier has been
erected for the bumper.
The bumper has capacity of 10,-
900 tons per working day 1t is ex-
pected that the amount expended on
additional facilities will be more than
made up by the increased tonnage the
road will be able to handle and the
greater dispatch In the handling OF
consignments.

GOVERNOR HOLDS
n, ], BLAMELESS
Edge Points Out That New Jer-
sey Saved Nation Great
Amount of Trouble
sy Special Correspondent.

Trenton, July 20:-Owing to a
tendency on the part of the morning
press to blame New Jersey for the
error which caused the last minute
revision of the plans for drawing the
draft, Governor Edge this morning
declared that the situation should be
cleared and the public fully informed
that New Jersey was entirely blame
less.
The governor said:
New Jersey has the distinction of
calling the federal governments at
tention to an error in the method of
drawings as announced in press re-
ports yesterday afternoon which
would have resulted in chaos and
brought results which would have
been appalling. 1 feel very strongly,
therefore, that instead of blame be-
ing placed upon New Jerseysthe state
authorities should be commended by
the federal government for prevent
ing a catastrophe which could never
be excused.
l have accordingly sent the follow
ing telegram to General e. H. Crow
der, provost marshal general New
Jersey instead of confusing draft has
by drawing attention to conditions ex-
listing all over country not confined to
New Jersey alone saved federal gov
ernment what would otherwise have
been a serious and irreparable mixup.
Press reports this morning place New
Jersey in O. very unfair position. I
feel Washington should issue state
ment for afternoon press correcting
this entirely erroneous situation. The
second statement last evening did not
seem to do So"

Women Clamor for Whitman.

New York, Feb 24.-After partici-
pat,ng in mass meeting in Madison
square to protest against the high
cost of food, several hundred women
stormed the Waldorf Astoria this
afternoon demanding to see Govern
or Whitman. Refused admittance
they started a demonstration requir-
ing police reserves. The governor
was at another hotel.
Several persons were injured when
the police charged the crowd. One
woman, believed to have been knocked
down, was found in the street IN
conscious, and four arrests were
made. The governor was at the Hotel
st. Regis, and told committee from
the Madison square meeting who call
ed on him, he would do everything
in his power to cooperate with the
mEypr in securing leg Station early
next week which will permit the city
to appropriate money to buy food and

Probe HIGH WHAT BECAME
COST Of FOOD Of BOAT CREW?
Galatea Made One Trip Be
fore Being Deserted By
New Crew

Upon the report of the wrecked
schooner Galatea, of Pensacola, being
found pounding itself to pieces on
the outer beach of Dauphin Island,
reaching federal authorities investi-
eating the case, it is understood that
the revenue cutter Tallapoosa was
rushed to the scene to identify the
boat Positively.
About the crew, if there was one,
or the time of the wreck, there is
absolute silence, and so far nothing
has been made public of the investi-
cation in the apparent theft of the
vessel, while lying fully provisioned
and ready for sea in the harbor
Auth, under the very guns of the
forts, and within easy reach of the
navy yard.
1t is reported that at the time when
the vessel disappeared while riding at
anchor, the tide was running in, and
it would have been impossible for the
vessel to drift out. This fact and
the report that her hawsers were out,
confirm the belief that the vessel was
stolen and made one trip before being
wrecked.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS
BE STARTED TODAY

An energetic attempt to secure a
correct religious census of the city
will be started today, and scores of
workers will busy themselves during
the afternoon in all parts of the city,
in the hope of finishing up the work
as soon as possible. Volunteers have
offered their services, and there is
every reason to believe that thou
sandR of people will be interviewed
before night relative to their church
affiliations, ETC., this work being for
the purpose of securing the total of
church members in the city.
Committees which have been ap-
pointed to work are urged to lose no
time, and to spend just as many
hours possible in the work. 1t is eX-
pected that, since the city has been
so evenly districted that it will be
practically covered within a few
hours.
Announcement of the proposed re-
Egious canvass will be made in each
of nine churches which have cooper
ated in the movement, said announce
ments to be made at the morning
services today.

teen dead and more than 100 injured

of heads of cattle killed in the Holl-
ms Midway-Stewartsville section.
Practically every building in Hollins

appeared between 4 and o'clock in
the afternoon, made a path nearly a
mile wide.
More than two hundred citizens
from Sylacauga last night carried
clothing, provisions and medical aid
to the stricken districts. 1t is estim-
ated that more than 100000 damage
was wrought.
In Hollins four persons were killed,
two Of them school children, a school
house containing so pupils being par
TALLY demolished. The children were
rushed to cloak room by the teach
er when the storm approached and
this is believed to have saved the
survivors. Of seven persons. injured
at Hollins, several, it is believed, will
die.
At Stewartsville two teachers were
killed and fifteen pupils were badly
injured. Three are dead at Midway
and two seriously hurt.
