Two Young Men Arrested

Not Hold Registration

For Them

! Captain J. R. Drackett, owner
of the ferry, noticed early this
morning two young men walk
ing up and down Front st. near
the ferry landing. Each time
he returned to this side after
a trip across the bay he saw the
same two walking aimlessly
about as if uncertain what to
do next. His suspicious were
aroused and Chief Of Police
Bulge was summoned. The
boys were arrested and taken
ito the Jail where they were asked
to produce their registration
cards. Neither of them was
able to comply with this demand
so they were locked up until ar
rival of number five when they
were taken to Franklin by the
Chief.
The older boy gave his name
as Thomas Ranick; that he was
from Corpus Christi, Texas and
that he registered at New Ibe-
ria yesterday while enroute to
Morgan City. He claims 1hq
registrar at that city told him
his card would be mailed to his
mother at Kenowsha, Wisconsin.
"The official was a young man
cracking jokes all the time
and I guess he thought he would
play a little joke on me-" said
Ranick. The police believe they
have a clear case of registra-
tion delinquency-the first since
the application of the new draft
law. They know the extreme
care that was exercised here yes
terday to permit no registrant
to leave without his registration

Ranick said he was of age today.
Friday the thirteenth will sure
Ily be an unlucky day for him!
Ranick exhibited a telegram
from Corpus Christi, supposedly
given by his company comman-
der which stated Ranick was a
member of a calvalry troop as
signed to the Texas militia. He
said this company was formed
for border duty and was strict
ly a state organization. Accord
ing to available information re-

their identity and have been
merged into the regular U. S.
Army without further designa-
ton.
The younger boy who gave his
age at Is and Mason, Michigan,
as his home said he just came
along with Ranick to look for a
Job in the shipyard plant here.
He looks to be several years OIL
der than the age given. He al
so had a telegram signed by the
sheriff Of his home county in
Michigan testifying to his age
as given by his birth certificate.
The boys did not look or act
like crooks hut they will undoub-
tedly experience considerable
difficulty in explaining why
they are without registration
