UNNATURALIZED GERMANS
SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION
No One Is Exempt From the Order
Requiring All Aliens to Appear
Before q. 8. Marshals.

Cnnaturalized Germans. who for one
or another reason were permitted by
the Department OF Justice to remain
temporarily or permanently within the
District OF Columbia. are subject to
the registration ordered for this week.
United States Marshal Splain and
Deputy Marshal O'Meara today ex-
pressed the fear that these persons
may suppose that because of their
statements made after the eviction or
der of President Wilson was promul-
gated they are not required to register.
This is mistake. Il entertained by
any such persons, Marshal Splain says.
No one Is exempt from the order that
requires all unnaturalized aliens In the
United States to register with the mar
shals throughout the country.
Included within the persons required
to register are all males Of fourteen
years and over. The department calls
attention to the stringent order that
all violators are to be punished with
out exception.
While oitizens of Alsace-Lorraine are
not to be called "alien enemies under
a recent ruling of the Depa rtment of
Justice, they must register during the
present week with the United States
marshal here. 1t has been decided, and
such persons are covered by the ex-
clusion order of President Wilson, it is
stated, and may not enter or remain
within the District Of Columbia during

MISSING JEWELRy FOUND
Detectives Recover Castelberg Ex-
press Shipment From Cache in
Sewer Pipe Northeast.

A tin can containing nearly all of the
$4,000 worth of jewelry of the Castel-
berg National Jewelry Company, Balti-
more. that disappeared from an express
car in this city just four weeks ago, was
recovered today by Detectives Frank Baur
and Thomas Sweeney. They found it in a
sewer pipe in front of house near
1st and l. streets northeast, where
Richard Alexander Luskey, who is
charged with having stolen ii. told them
it was hidden. He is said to have made
the claim that he found the package
on the platform of the warehouse OF
Adams Express Company and to have
declared the package was damaged.
Just about the time the detectives
reached the vicinity of 1st and
streets they heard little girl oceu-
pant of the house in front of which the
jewelry was recovered, who ran INTO
her home and called her mothers at
tention to diamond ring she had found
in the snow The child did not appreci-
ate the value of her find, but she was
disappointed when she had to sur
render it to the detectives.
The tewelry was shipped from De-
trojt, Mich, to the jewelry firm in Bal
timore. It was not taken from the ex-
press car in Baltimore, however, but
probably was overlooked there and
missed after the car reached this city.
Luskey was in the employ of the ex-
press company at that time as a plat
form man. his duties requiring him to
work just where that particular ex-
press car was unloaded.
Detectives Baur and Sweeney were
assigned to make the investigation. II
was not until this morning. however.
that Luskey told the detectives where
he had secreted the tewelry.,

USE Of PARKING Up
commissioners
Appeals Court Affirms Action
Of Supreme Bench in ]. l.
Crupper Case.

The right Of the District Commission
ers to limit the use OF parking on busi-
ness streets Is upheld by the District
Court OF Appeals in an opinion by Chief
Justice Smyth. The appellate court af-
firmed the decision of the District SUI
preme Court. which had denied a man
damus asked by Joseph L. Crupper. a
lumber merchant at 18th and B streets
to compel the District Commissioners
to allow him to continue the use of
portion of the pafking space in front
OF his property occupied for more than
thirty years.
The appellate tribunal declares that
whether or not the space or part in
question is needed by the public is a
question committed by the Congress
to the Commissioners. and the statute
does not limit the public need to any
particular thing. Should the space be
required, in the judgment If the Com
missioners. for parking. beautifying.
safety of travellers or sanitation. it is
needed by the general public within
the meaning of the statute. the court
holds.
Since the Commissioners are required
by the statute to make the decision the
courts have no authority to review
their action, declares Chief Justice
Smyth.
The Commissioners notified the oc-
cupants of property on business streets
to remove their merchandise from GER
tain portions of the parking and Mr.
Crupper decided to test the validity of
the order in the courts.

BLAME FOR COAL FAMINE
IS HXEDBY SENATOR REED
Failure in Distribution and Fuel
Administration Responsible,
Declares Report.

Failure in distribution and fuel ad-
mnistration orders, adding to conges-
ton Of freight, are causes for coal
shortage in this country, according to
testimony brought Gut in the Senate
coal shortage investigation as set forth
in preliminary report. The report was
drafted by order of Senator Reed for his
consideration and that of other mem
bers of the subcommittee on manufac-
lures, which made the investigation.
The subcommittee. of which Senator
Reed is chairman. has not met since
the hearings ended. 1t is expected to
do so within a day or two At that
time this statement of facts will be laid
before it for its information.
In addition to setting forth these de-
auctions. from the evidence this pre-
iiminary report suggests remedies. any
or none of which may be adopted by
the subcommittee in making its report
to the Senate.
These proposed remedies include a
repeal of the present fuel adn1inistra-
tlon law: the operation of the coal
mines at a cost plus basis: a new sched-
ule OF coal prices, fixing prices by
zones; government purchase of ali coal
at the mines; government ownership
and operation of the mines and govern
ment construction of locomotives and
cars.
1t is shown that the production of coal
increased in 1917 over the production
in 1915. but that the increase in con-
sumption more than kept pace with the
increase in production. The report
shows that T2,000.O00 more tons of an
thracite and 100000 tons more btu
minous coal were produced in 1917, but
the increase in consumption was about
10 per cent, leaving a shortage of about
35,000,000 tons.

CALL PHYSICIAN EARLY.

Is Needed for Registrants,

With Washington physicians giving
sratuitous service in conducting the
physical examination OF registrants GER
titled for military duty. residents of the
capital are asked not to be impatient IL
there is delay at times In physicians
visits.
Approximately loo physicians are en-.
gagged in the draft work, and the exam
lining periods. which are held at stated
intervals for the several local boards,
consume three hours of their time
That the public be lenient i'm its de-
mands upon these physicians Is re-
Quested by DIR. J. Wesley Bovee, medical
aid to the Commissioners of the District.
He urges that persons having occasion
to call a physician do so as early in the
day as possible. il not only will en-
able the physician advantageously to
his private house work for the
time he will not be engaged In examin-
ing registrants. but probably will shorten
the delays in seeing such patients.

MEX|CAN'S STATUS IN
DRAFT IS CONSIDERED
Manuel Castano Under Treatment at
Washington Hospital as
Case Is Decided.

One of the numerous patients under
treatment at Washington Asylum Hos
pital is Manuel Castano. a Mexican
citizen, who has lived in this country
the past three years. Not only is he in
the hospital as patient. but he also is
under surveillance by the police au-
thorities. having been arrested on sus-
picion that he was trying to evade the
draft
1t was not until after he had been
under arrest several days that it be-
came known to the authorities that he
was Mexican subject. The question of
under consideration by the War De-
partment.
Castano told a Star reporter that he
was born in a small town in Mexico.
and that much of his life was spent in
Chihuahua.
Three years ago. he said. he concluded
he would come to the United States
and last June he registered in a small
town near Detroit, Mich. where he was
working. He said he left there shortly
afterward, but not to evade the draft.
He left. he said, because he was receiv-
ing only 2Ii. cents an hour in a paper
mill. when only a few miles away he
could get as much as 35 cents.
Because of Costano's failure to re-
spond to the call to be examined for
military duty. the registration officers
reported him as delinquent. trailed him
to this city and had him arrested. He
remained in POLICE cell just one week
before he was taken bef6fe the draff
board and a; physician for examination.
1t is said that he was suffering from
a mild skin trouble. 1t was deemed
best to take him to the hospital His
case probably will be passed upon be
fore the close of the week, and then
the Mexican will be enrolled for mill
tary service or released.
