WAUNESHA, Wis. May 23.-With two jurors and many specvtatOrs in tears Grace Lusk brought to a dra- matic conclusion the tale of her own story of her life almost up to the slay- ing of Mrs Mary Newman Roberts for which she is now on trial.
 Swaying in the witness chair at times, as if on the verge of collapse. often lowing her voice until it was al most inaudible, she denied that she had ever pursued Dr. David Roberts and charged t.2, ne. first appealing for her help in the preparation of a book. finally won her sympathy by tell ing of fis unhappy home life. After describing many meetings in Chicago and other places during two years. Miss LuSi told of arranging a confer ence with Dr. Roberts in a Milwaukee hotel in May. 1917. about a month be- fore the tragedy. It was to this meet ing which she carried the pistol with which sh9 later shot Mrs. Roberts.
 Reputation Gone
 "I had decided that the situation had to be straightened out" she testified, "and that if Dr. Roberts did not care for me. would take my own life. I told him how sincere I had been in my affectciOn. How I would never have allowed it to start if he had not assured ne that Mrs. Roberts did not care fo: him. Things now were be- yond my control. My reputation was gone and my life ruined. Mrs. Rob erts also was hopelessly wronged. If this had been a game on his part and if had been so simple as not to have understood it, would take the cOnse- quences.

WORK OR FIGHT LAW WILL ADD
 MANY SOLDIERS
Those Engaged in Non-Useful Occupations to Be Drafted Into Army Unless They Seek New Jobs.
cRr Rerieu Inasas ruiro,


 WASHINGTON. May 23.-TwO i'm portant steps were taken today to- ward perfecting the task of putting the nation on war basis.
 Soon after Provost Marshal General Crcwder had promulgated a drastic amendment to the selective service regulation requiring every man of draft age to work or fight. Secretary Baker appeared before the house mill tary committee and asked that Pres ldent Wilson authorized the call to the cOlors all men of draft age who can be equipped and trained. The committee promptly and unanimously voted the authority into the army ap- propriation bill about to be reported to the house
 Under existing law power is given to draft one million fighting men in addition to special units. This limit soon will be reached with men con stantly going into camp to replace these sailing for France as fast as ships can be provided to take them. With the law changed as the president desires. the man power of the country will be drawn upon for whatever force may be necessary to win the war.
 Order Far Reaching
 General Crowder's new regulation is far reaching in scope and touches not only habitual idlers but also requires that rraft registrants now in occupa- tions held to be nOn-useful seek new jobs or take their places in the army. Clerks in stores, walters. hartenrerS. employees at places of amusement. pas senger elevator men ano other em- plOyes arounr hotels. clubs ann busi- ness builnings, as well as gamblers. fortune tellers anr race track and bucket shop attendants all fall among these classed as nOn-usefully engaged. Enforcement of the rule is expected to add some men to the army and to do more important service in improv- ing the labor situation fin essential in- dustries
 The house military committees ac- tion after heaving Secretary Baker completed the army bill. with prOvi- sion for the pay of 3.0O0.OOO men and with ordnance appropriations on the basis of an army of 4.00O000 The measure will be laid before the house carrying a total of S9.569. I29. 900 of actual appropriations and authoriza- ton fer contracts amounting tO S2- 4.4l6,0O0 more.
 MT. Baker told the committee in eN- ecutive session the presidents req sons for asking that no limit be placed upon the number of draft men Co be called.
 Amendment Adopted
 Members said later it was estimat- ed that an army of 5000. 900 could he raised without changing the draft ages
 This amendment to the existing law was adopted bf the committee:
 Provided. that the authority con ferred upon the president by the act approved May IS, 1917. entitled an aC C. authorize the president to in- erase temporarily the military es;lb- IishnCLt Ot the United Sta O, ;s hcte- ny eNte' 6ed so as tO authorize hm during cacl fiscal year To raisS hy dre t as provided in said act and acts amendatOry thereof the maximum number of men which may be organ ized, equipped. trained and used dur in gsuch year for the prosecution of the present war until the same shall hafe been brought to a successful con- clusiOn."
