PROMINENT MAN IS HELD
FOR MYSTERIOUS MURDERS
BIameS Bandits for Deaths of
Friend and Latter'S Wife
and Son

PHILADELPHIA. July '16.-Asso-
ciates of George X. Tompkins, Jr.. in
Jail at Ebensburg, Pa, following a triple
murder. are at a loss to understand the
mystery. They do not believe Tomp-
kins is the iend who shot and killed
Edmund J. HUMPHREYS, his wife and son.
HUMPHREYS and Tompkins were drlv-
ing in the formers automobile, near
Carrolltown. Pa, when, according to
Tompkins bandits halted the machine
and riddled the three HUMPHREYS with
bullets.
Motive is absolutely lacking. as no
robbery was committed. Tompkins es-
capped but returned and brought the bod
les to Carrolltown. He was then arrest
ed and formally accused of the crime.
No trace of bandits has been found.
He seemed a man of mystery" This
is the opinion held by neighbors of
Tompkins. One thing is certain. He
was higly respected and was considered
an ideal husband and parent
HUMPHREYS aged parents collapsed
when detectives went to their home to
break news of the terrible tragedy.
To the accused mans wife the blow
seemed as heavy as though her hus-
band was one of the dead instead of a
prisoner accused of a horrible crime
She bore up bravely, refusing to even
think that Tompkins could possibly
have committed murder.
Evidence which seems to make Tomp-
kins' position extremely bad. was kept
from the wife who expected him home
last night. She thinks the arrest is a
mere formality.
Not so with the authorities. They
consider the evidence so far gathered
as being of damning nature. 1t is
claimed that when Humphries' body
was found in a cornfield the dead man
clutched a wisp of hair. Ii was dark
streaked with gray. the same shade and
length as Tompkins' hair. Witnesses
have been found who saw the prisoner
leave the cornfield.

OFFICERS ARE WARNED
OF TROUBLE BY |. ". ".
Members Coming Into Town by
SCOrSe-ArreStS in Lead
District

FLAT RIVER. Mo, July 16.-The sit
uation in the lead belt of southeast
ern Missouri. from which American
born miners have driven hundreds of
foreign-born workers during the last
two days. still was serious today. in
the opinion of the civil and military au-
thorities here.
No violence occurred Sunday. but
twenty men were arrested on charges of
carrying concealed weapons or looting
homes of evicted foreign-born miners.
The peaceable disposition of the crowds
yesterday, peace officials said. was prob
ably due largely to the presence of the
Missouri national guard and the con-
ciliatoTy work of State Labor Commits
sioner Lewis.
A near panic was caused at Bonnie
Terre last night by the arrival of a
committee of Ameriran-born miners
from Flat River who organized about
fifty young men and marched into the
foreign quarter, discharging firearms.
Father Tim Sevcik, a Roman Catholic
priest, attempted to argue with the
delegation and received rough treat
ment.
A detachment OF sixteen guardsmen
was sent to Bonnie Terre and no more
trouble occurred Before dispensing the
crowd gave notice to all foreigners
that they must leave today or accept
the consequences.
The lead mine district was quiet to-
day. Soldiers were guarding the homes
of the eXiles and hundreds of men with
dinner pals were seen proceeding to
the mines Although this is prohibit
ton territory, quantities of liquor have
been seized in the foreigners homes.

DRAWING FOR THE ARMY
MAY Be HELD SATURDAY
Burst of 0ver-Sunday Speed
Brings in Many Rolls
of Registered

WASHINGTON, July 16.-With only
war department officials today hoped
the great selective lottery might be held
Saturday. A burst OF over-Sunday
speed filled the department cabinets
with nearly 1000 rolls-more than s.
100000 names of men eligible for
democracy's armies.
Unless there is unlooked-for delay.
the drawing will be held not later than
the first of next week.
Forty-two days will be required to
complete all the work attached to the
draft of Americas armies. Hence, If
the drawing comes next Saturday, it
will be September l before the last steps
are completed.
Original plans for calling the new ma
tional army into service set the date at
September ). There is doubt though
that cantonmenJs will be ready before
October 1.
Within twenty-four hours after the
drawing the district exemption boards
will begin culling out men disqualified
by physical grounds and exempted by
the mandatory regulations. They are
allowed only a specified number of days
10 make eacn move. Inc regulations
allow no dallying.
Here are the steps outlined by the
provost marshal generals office and
the time allowed for them:
After the physical examination, the
drafted man must file his claim for
exemption, if any, within I days.
He then has 10 days to file affida
Wits to support his claim.
Then the local board must decide up
on the claim in three days. Within
two days thereafter the board must
post a list of the men and the DISPOSE
tion of the case.
Ten days are allowed to file an APP
peal to the upper or appellate board and
five days more are allowed to file ad-
affidavits of evidence to sup
port the claim.
The appellate board is given five days
to pass upon the claim and mail notice
that the claim is good or that the
claimant must go to a mobilization
camp.
The time limits are set to get men
into the camps at the earliest moment.
Nominations for all appellate boards
are before President Wilson. Although
boards in three states
have been appointed, many men named
for places are nationally known.

"Give us Early Peace"
People Shout at Hindenburg

AMSTERDAM. July 16.-The internal
struggle in Germany today definitely
turned upon the question of terms of
peace.
The next step in the political fight.
which has held the attention of the
world for the past week will come on
the peace resolution put forward by the
majority parties in the reichstag. The
Lokal Anzeiger today reports a popular
peace demonstration as having taken
place upon the departure of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg for grand head
quarters. following his conference with
the party leaders in Berlin.
A large crowd was on hand when the
field marshal departed. Shouts imue-
diately arose as Hindenburg appeared.
Give us a good peace" the crowd
shouted. Than came cries from others
of:
Give us an early peace"
Hindenburg silently saluted.
The Vorwaerts, commenting on the
majority's peace formula, which, broad
~, is a declartion of no annexations
and no indemnities, declares:
ANY chancellor must accept these
principles
AS yet DIR. Michaelis the new chan
cellor. has made no statement of his
policies His position is unknown. But
expressions from German newspapers
received here today generally are to the
effect that the new chancellor must ac-
cept the reichstag majority's will. This
is IN spite of the general Interpretation
of neutrals that the unhorsing of Won
Rethmann-Hollweg was a victory for
the crown prince and Won Hindenburg
in pressing their relentless war pro-
gram.
The Frankfurter Zeitung declares:
Or Michaelis is Prussian in the best
sense of the word, but is not particular
ly Prussian. =
IF his selection is to benefit the
fatherland. he must work with the ma
jority. Whether he is in position to
do this is not known"
The Mannheim Volksetimme, leading
Socialist organ of Baden. promises MI
chaelis the support of the Social Demo
Gratis if he carries out the policies of
the majority.
Peace and freedom must be his pro-
gram" the paper declared.
Dispatches from Berlin today indi-
Gated that German newspapers were

the new chancellor's policies as observ-
ers in neutral countries. DR.. Michaelis
is Iauded as fair-minded and energetic.
but none of the editorials haZarded any
opinion of what he intends to do In
Hollwegs position. This was true of
the outright Junker newspapers. The
belief was hazarded by several newspa-
pers that MIchaelis inclines more to the
than the radical wing.
