NEW FORK CAN RAISE
HALF A MILLION MEN
State Health Department Furnishes
Result of It's Census Data.

Albany.-If the United States becomes
embroiled in war more than half mil
lion men will be available in this state
for military service and about the same
number will be ready for secondary de-
Tense.
This information, obtained by the
state health department from census
data Of the physical condition of men
presenting themselves for enlistment,
has been given TO Adjutant General
Stotesbury.
The estimated population OF New
York state for 1917 is 10,490.6SO. or
this number 2,4SoOO0 are males from
eighteen to forty-tive years Old and la
bic to military service.
The report of the adjutant general OF
the United States for the year ending
June 30. 1916, shows that less than a
quarter of the applications for enlist
mcpt Mt recruiting stations throughout
the country were accepted. On this
basis $4,000 men would be available
FOR military service in this state. Act
ing state Health Commissioner VII
liams estimates that the physical con
,iition of at least the same number
would not be such as to prevent them
from home defense service.

BELIEVE JEALOUSY
CAUSED TRAGEDY

Rolla, N. D., June 14.-Joseph
Davis dubbed his wife to death
with an iron bar and then killed
himself by blowing his head off, US
ing a single barreled shotgun of
large calibre to end his life.
Jealousy is given as the cause OF
the double tragedy which occurred
Is miles south of Rolla, while the
couple was walking in the early
morning hours from the home of
tErank Davis, where they had spent
the night, to the home of priest,
who had offered to take Davis and
his wife to Rolla where they expect
ed to board a train for Devils Lake,
the murderer-suicide being under
Indictment in the federal court for
Introducing liquor on the Turtle
Mountain Indian reservation.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by officials, Davis and his
wife had proceeded but a short dis
tance from the home of his uncle
when the passed c1ose to grain
separator. 1t was then that Davis
grabbed the bar and beat his wife
over the he'd, hitting her several
times. She didn't die for five hours
though not regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Davis was formerly Rachel
Gardner. residing at Belcourt, N. D..
where she was engaged as a millin-
er. The couple had been married
five years, and had no children.

Slayer Of the Cad
wells Near Death

Dickinson, N. D., June 14.-Wor-
ry and superstitious fear may claim
for Mike Chumack, slayer of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. H. Caldwell of Richard
ton and alleged raper of 14-years-
old Ella Croy the penalty which
the state Of North Dakota cannot
inflict for his crimes. His self-ln-
f1icted gunshot wound is aggravat-
ing his condition, and fears are en-
tertained that he may not live to
stand trial June 18, when he is to
be arraigned here In district court.
The alleged girl victim at the
preliminary hearing proved an un-
satisfactory witness, testifying with
mitted that after the alleged assault
she had kissed Chumack goodbye
before he departed Tor the barn
with the avowed intention of ending
his own life.
Her tale of the night OF terror at
the Caldwell ranch which followed
the verdict of district court jury
in favor of the dead rancher and
against the mysterious u. C. R."
who is seeking to establish his
identity as Caldwells long lost son
was a sensational feature of the
hearing. Caldwell, she declared,
upon his return from court, loaded
every gun in the house and sharp
ened every available knife, and
throughout the night. Miss Croy
testified, he remained awake and
on guard, fearing that indignant
neighbors who had supported the
claims of ~. C. R." might make an
attack On the ranch.

retired farmer in St. Paul, and al
legged slayer Of Adolph Wetzsteln OF

standing feud over the affections of
the latter's wife, also will be ar
raigned in district court one week
from today. The TWO cases are

produced. Feeling has run 50

mission only handles interstate
rates. Interstate rates - those
charged for traf1c within the
states-are under state bodies; in
North Dakota they are under the
railroad aQd warehouse commission.
In order to MAKE rates uniform,
as they should be, the railroads Of
North Dakota have asked the state
railroad and warehouse commission
to raise North Dakota rates also fif-
teen per cent: the same increase as
that proposed Oh Interstate rates.
The state application should re-
ceive the same friendly reception
and the same careful investigation
that the national application is re-
ceiving. The state should grant
the same increase that the Federal
government grants. The railroads,
though they may not be entitled to
all they ask, are clearly entitled to
more money, and they should get
the same treatment from the state
that they are going ito get from the
nation.

HUSBAND AND MONEY
SOUGHT BY POLICE

Minot, N. D., June 14.-John
Alexander. a carpenter, who with
his wife lives in a comfortable little
cottage in the hill district, has dis
appeared and every effort to learn
his whereabouts have failed thus
far Whether the man has met
with foul play or deserted his fam
lily is a problem which is puzzling
the local authorities. The day be-
fore he had been paid a consider
able sum Of money, having sold a
small cottage when stood on a
portion of his lot where he resides.
His wife can give no reason which
would account FOR his strange dis
appearance. He, first thot was
that his mind might have become
affected owing to an illness from
which he suffered during the past
winter. At the time OF his disap-
pearance he was engaged in repair
ing an awning for a local newspa-
per and stopped work to await the
arrival Of material. saying he would
go to Granville, where another job
awaited him. The sheriff has
communicated with the Granville
police but to no avail. The mystery
deepens daily and meanwhile his
wife. broken-hearted and distract
ed, awaits some word from her hus-
band that will relieve the suspense
she suffers.

George M. Hogue. secretary OF the

yesterday.

little secrecy in connection with it's
deputy service" said Mr.. Hogue.
1--WE have followed the plan OF CIV
ing publicity to our appointments
for number Of years, and we have
found that 1t makes 1t embarrassing
for the deputy. Now no one needs
to know who the deputy is until
there crops out some case in which
1t is necessary for him to appear as
a witness.

the identity Of the warden will
cause prospective game-violators to
hesitate for fear that one OF their
party might be the deputy"
