jake Steiner, Resident of johnson,
Gets Ten-Day Sentence for Al
legged Abuse OF Members of
Defense Council

Jake Steiner, resident of John
son, who has recently been much in
the lime light for his alleged unpatri-
otto actions, is an occupant of the
county jail, having taken up his
abode in the bastile Saturday to serve
To-day sentence on a charge of
using abusive language toward the
members of the Johnson council Of
defense. Steiner. upon a warrant is
sued at the request of l.. Ormsbee. a
prominent member of the council of
defense and patriotic worker, was
and Justice Of the Peace Swain was
reused from his slumbers to mete
out justice to the man who was wont
to put into strong words his impress
sions of the men who had forced him
to do something near his duty in
war way.
The actions of Steiner aroused the
ire of the loyal citizens of Johnson
and ways and means of handling his
case were discussed at special meet
ing of the council of defense Friday
evening. Following the meeting two
deputy sheriffs from Colfax were
summoned and they Immediately
brought the man to Pullman, being
accompanied by some 80 angry citi-
zens who were intent on seeing that
justice was done. The Today SEN
tence imposed by Judge Swain met
with the approval of the citizens and
they returned home well satisfied
with the results of their efforts to
teach the man lasting lesson in 10y
atty and patriotism.
Steiner is one of the four men
who were recently adjudged slackers
by the Johnson council of defense
and whose names adorned Stacker
monument erected in the public
square. Later he took steps to clear
his record Of its stigma and his name
was stricken from the Stacker list. He
apparently held grudge against the
men who had forced his change OF
front" however, and is alleged to
have addressed them in abusive Ian
guage at every opportunity.
The complaint filed against Stein
er charged him with willfully at
tempting to provoke an assault by
word of mouth. He pleaded guilty.

v. S. {. TO BREAK
ENROLMENT RECORDS
Twenty-Five Hundred Will Receive
Training at State College This
Year, According to Prediction

That $500 young men and young
women will receive training along
various lines at the State College of
Washington at one time during the
school year opening Sept. 80 was
the prediction of Prof. Herbert Kim
brough, dean of the school of music
and fine arts, made before the
meeting of the chamber of commerce
Tuesday. Prof Kimbrough's figures
included 600 detachment soldiers,
who will arrive October 10, 200 band
musicians, who are expected in the
near future, 1900 students, who will
become members of the students
army training corps through volun-
tary induction, and upwards of 500
regular students.
Under the present plans of the
War Department a proportionate
share of the 20-year-old members Of
the S. A. T. c. will be withdrawn
from the institution in January, after
three months training; a proportion
ate part of those 10 years old will be
withdrawn in April, while the 18-
year-old soldiers who do good work
will remain in college until its close,
1t is expected, however, that upon
the withdrawal of these groups, 9th
ers will be sent to take their places,
thus keeping the enrolment at or
close to the $500 estimate through
out the school year
The problem of supplying beds or
cots for the members of the s. A. T.
c. until the equipment is received
from the War Department is bother
ing college officials at present, but
ways and means of taking care of the
student-soldiers will be devised The
government will provide each mem
Der of the corps with cot and three
blankets, but it is expected that these
will not be received for several weeks

possible, under army regulations, to
requisition the equipment before the
men are officially examined and in
Quoted into the service, so that the
full requirements may be known, and
then the cots and blankets must come
from San Francisco, requiring con-
siderable time.
The members of the corps will be
housed as far as possible, in groups.
and it is probable that fraternity
houses and other large structures
will be pressed into service for this
purpose.
The college has this week issued
full instructions to high school
graduates concerning the Students
Army Training Corps, and any in
formation desired may be obtained
by addressing the military informa'
ton bureau, State College of Wash
ington, Pullman.

BURGLAR BORES HOLE
IN FLOOR OF STORE

A perservering burglar who
scorns both locks and bars, burglar
lied the little store of D. W. Whit
field, at Wynn and Jefferson streets
Saturday night for the third time in
sixty days, carrying away varied
assortment of tobacco stock and meat
to the value of $50
The door having been opened on
previous occasions, the proprietor OF
the store had invested in new lock,
which seemed to battle the intruder.
At any rate, not to be baked, he OBJ
tanned brace and bit. and, locating
a good working place underneath the
store, proceeded to bore a series of
holes until a portion of the floor was
remover, leaving a hole large
enough to admit mans body. Sew
eral armfuls of snuff, cigarettes, ci-
gars and chewing tobasso and three
cured pork shoulders were missing
morning.
The burglars footprints and knee
marks were plainly visible In the
soft earth beneath the store, but no
trace has been found of him

LIEUT.LANIER RUMORED
DEAD; NOT CONFIRMED

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lanier were
greatly shocked this morning by a
runo' reaching Americas from At
lanta that their son Lieut. Hollis La
nier, who is with the American ex-
peditionary forces in France, had
died. No information to that effect
had been received by MIR. Lanier and
telephone inquiry by the Americus
Times-Recorder with Atlanta brought
the information that the report there
was only rumor that could not be
traded or affirmed.
Inasmuch as it is the rule of the
war department to notify the nearest
relative of all soldiers in het cas-
ualy lists, and Mr.. Lanier has re-
ceived no recent information con-
corning his son, who was slightly
wounded some time ago, no credence
is given to the report.

LONDON, Nov 1S.-The former
Kaiser may seek to return to Ger

tulbances in Holland which began
with the close of the world war, ae-
cordine to an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen today. The
Berlin newspapers say that the Pots
dam Council of Soldiers and Work
ers may permit this The report is
not confirmed.
The disorders throughout Germany
and Enrope generally, which were
thoslght last week to have been curbs
cd have broken out anew. A dis
patch today, from The Hague reports
that 20 persons have been shot at
Hanover, Germany in outbreaks there.
Seven persons were killed and 10
wounded in rioting at Amsterdam
Thursday, says dispatch to the
Times, The rioting is believed to
have been German-inspired. The cav
airy barracks were fired upon during
a parade of the Reds.
Discipline is apparently breaking
down among the retiring German ar
mics and disorders have appeared.
The Swiss frontier has been closed
as result of anarchistic outbreaks
among German soldiers near the bor-
der.
To rcJieve the food situation in
Holland, which is responsible in a
great measure for the unrest of the
people, the Allied food council is
diverting a shipload of wheat to that
country.

GERMANS EVACUATING METZ FORTRESS
Georgia. Names
One F." Y"Hut
On Front

ATLANTA, November 1S,-Georgia
has gone over the top in the United
War Work drive and was the eighth
state in the union to reach her quota,
according tq official announcement
from the national headquarters in
New York. Georgia has thus won the
honor of having hut in France nam
ed after her.
This state went over the top last
Friday afternoon, but announcement
could not be made until official con-
.firmation, because of the hut naming
contest. 81
State Chairman J. K. Orr, of At
lanta, has urged the workers of the
state not to cease their efforts in
the fund drive, however, even though
this state has reached her quota. He
cites the direct appeal of President
Wilson and the decision to extend the
aaiiora! campaign for two more days
as ample evidence of the great import
ance Of making the fund as large as
possible.

]. s. CALLS FOR
ESTIMATES ON
MATCHMAKING
ROAD To CAMP

The most promising indication since
the ending of the war that Souther
Field would be retained by the war
department came Monday morning in
telegram from the quartermasters
department at Washington to the
officials in charge of the warehouse
at Souther Field, instructing them to
furnish maps and an estimate of the
cost of matchmaking the 4 1-2 miles
of road from Americas to Souther
Field.
The lamp officers Immediately got
in touch with-t the 4AmaTGus and Sum
ter county Chamber of Commerce,
which nas handled the affairs of To-
eating the camp here and other kin
dred matters, and arrangements were
made with City Supt- B Ansley to
furnish the map as requested by the
government The camp officials will
furnish the estimate of cost of con-
structing the roadway Preparation
of the map will require only a few
days.
This message is regarded by Amer
icus business men as real indicator
of the expected plan of the gov
ernment to retain Souther Field as
training post for the aviation section
of the army under peace conditions,
even though nearly all the other
camps of the country are to be dis
mantled. as now seems likely. The
original permanency of construction,
together with plans to further i'm
prove the camp facilities give every
confidence that Americus will remain
on the map as one of the permanent
army training centers.
