Earning Good Wages,
Takes Debtors Oath

Finding that Peter Cantos' claim to
being bankrupt was a mere evasion,
County Commissioner Frank E. Bal
lard and Justice F. E. Morgan this
morning reversed the decision of JUS
tice Abe S. Geduldig, who had previ-
olsly allowed Cantos to take the poor
debtors oath. So Cantos was taken
back to the county Jail this afternoon.
Cantos, a former employe of the
American Graphophone Co., bought an
automobile from Rudolph Emesky and
paid $125 down. He damaged the ma
chine in collision and returned It to
Emesky He was arrested on a body
writ when Emesky brought suit for
the balance due. In order to procure
realease from jail he wished to take
the poor debtors oath but Enesky APP
pealed from Justice Geduldig's deci-
sion. It was found, that Cantos had
carried good wages at the Graphic
phone Co. and after he was released
from Jail went to Springfield, Mass,
to work

MACHINERY OF
NATIONAL DRAFT
IS GRINDING ON

Washington, July 14-With s47 OF
the 1859 exemption districts still un-
heard from today. an accurate predic-
ton as to the date of the great draw
ing under the army selective conscrip-
ton law still was impossible. Most OF
the officials who are closely watch
ing the situation believed. however
that all would be ready in time fol-
the. drawing next week.
More than 400 districts filed their
reports of organization yesterday and
last night. The bulk of those missing
districts are in large cities and will
report about the same time. It has
been estimated that New York ciy's
reports will be completed by Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Distribution by the governors OF
the state quotas among the local ex.
emption districts and the great lot
terry to establish the order in which
registr ants are to be called into the
service are the only steps that remain
to he carried out.

crane. This morning he wished to
speak to Costello and attempted to
climb to the cab on chains which
were swinging from the crane

get off the chains but was called back
to his work and did not notice that
the boy had started to climb again
and was on level with the cab.

WONT HAVE TO

their numbers should be drawn.
The announcement from the provost
generals office at Washington says
that such persons will NOT HAVE TO
return, but that transfers for such
persons may be granted and the iSs
sues settled elsewhere.
This is one of the most important
rulings that has been given out relative
to the working of the draft regula-
lions and concerns large number OF
people. Bridgeport is especially COM
cerned, because of the fact that the
munitions factory are Offering con-
slant employment to artisans and
many OF them have taken employment
here since June 5. Many who were
engaged in the industries OF this city
on that date are now located per-
manently elsewhere. Those who reg
iatered in other cities may have their
examinations for physical ability and
their hearings on exemption claims
held here and the rule will work the
other way.
The announcement will work out in
this way. If the man living In any
division of Chicago, assigned draft
number $50 sould be resident Of
Bridgeport when the draft takes
place. he may appear before a local
board for physical examination and
to file claim for exemption. The
procedure will be Identical with that

whose spirit after a century is about
to have its full fruition in the de-

~'It is a pity" says Paul Deschanel,
president of the Chamber of Depu-

that the Germafs-c cannot see our ma
tional fete, they who believe US to be
starving and ut the end Of our re-
sources.
'In the month Of April, notwith-
standing magnificent results, we did
not realize our hopes. Since then a
noble leader who has had nothing but
success in this war, great infantry
man, a wise, upright and clear mind
has been put at the head ct our
armies. Already the Russians are
fulfilling their pledges, and here are
the Americans bringing US their pow
erful support not only in money, aero
planes and ships, but in men and
guns.
Americas Intervention while a de-
cisive verdict on the justice of our
cause, is sure guarantee Of victory.
