Drastic Amendment to
Selective Service
Regulations
ANNOUNCED
THURSDAY BY
GEN. CROWDER
Every Man of Draft Age Must
Work OF Fight After July !
IN on useful Occupations
Are Hit Hard =

Washington. May 23.--Two import
ant steps We're taken today toward
rcrfecting the task of putting The
nation on war basis.
Soon after Provost Marshal Cen
c1al Crowder had promulgated a
drastic amendment to the selectivc
man of draft age TO work or fight,
Secretary Baker appeared before
the House military committee ana
asked that President Wilson be au-
thorizrd to call To the cOlors all men
Of draft age who can he equipped and
trained. The committee promptly and
unanimously voted the authority mo
the army appropriation bill about to
be reported TO the House.
Under existing law, power j.; given
to draft one million lighting men,
III addition 70 special units. This linz
it soon viii be reached with men con-
Stantly going into camp to replace
those sailing for France as fast as
ships can be provided for them. With
the law changed as the President de-
sircs the man power of the country
will be drawn upon for whatever
force may be necessary TO win the
var.
General Crowders new regulation
is far-rcaching in scope and not only
touches habitual oilers. but also re-
occupations held to he non-useful
seek new jobs or take their places n
the army. Clerks in stores. walters,
bartenders, employees ut places Of
and all other employees around hotels,
clubs and business buildings as well
as gamblers. fortune tcllcrs and race
track and bucket shop attendants,
all fall among those ella ssed as non
Gsefufly engaged. Enforcement of rnc
rule is expected 10 add some men &C
the army and to do . more import
ant service IL improving the labor
situation in essential industries.
The House military committee :
action aft"! hcurinS Secretary 81
kcr completed the army bill with
provision tor tho PAY of 10000 men
and with ordnance appropriations Cl
the basis of an army Of four million
The measure will be laid before tho
House carrying Il total of s9,569. 1873
eco of actual appropriations and au-
thOrization for contracts amounting
TO S., 464, 4l6. 0G0 more. Mr.. Baker told
the committee in executive session
the Presidents reasons for asking
that no limit he placed upon the num-
Der Of draft men To be called. Mehl-
bcrs sail later that it was estimated
an army of five million could be raiG-
ed without changing the draft age.

Writ of Habeas Corpus
From Internment Is
Denied
RULING BY
FEDERAL JUDGE
CARPENTER
Judge Says If He Ruled in Fa-
vOr of Count, President
Would Be POwerless to Deal
with Thousands of Similar
Cases in Country

Chicago. May 23.-The plea of
Count James Minotto for freedom on
q writ of habeaS corpus from intern
ment on a presidential warrant was
denied late today by Federal Judge
Carpenter.
The judge withdrew reading of the
decision until II O'Clock tomorrow to
allow the Count to pass the night
with his wife, Countess Ida May
Swift Minotto. daughter of Louis F..
Swift, the packer.
The Counts counsel had admitted
the government attorneys disclosure
that the Counts father, Count De-
metrius Minotto, was born in vi
emma and not in Venice, though the
Minotto family is declared to be of
ancient Venetian lineage. The Count
had never denied that he was born
in Germany.
IF / ruled in favor OF the petition :
er (The Count, the President Of the
United States would be powerless to
deal with the thousands of men in
this country who were born in Ger
many of parents foreign to Germany,
said the Judge in delivering his find
ings. Il believe the law was de-
vised to include all men born in Ger
many and raised and educated in
that country and who might have all
their sylnpathies with Germany"
The attorneys for the defense pro
tested that the Count had not been
given q sufficient hearing. but the
Judge replied that the purpose of the
emergency law would be defeated if
the President must disclose the facts
leading up to an order for intern :
ment. After adjournment of court
Count Minotto said:
NO matter what the outcome is
still will be loyal to this country"
It was believed that counsel for
Minotto would try to carry the case
to higher court.

ISKIRMISH IN
NATIONAL HOUSE

Washington, May 23.-Dry forces
lin the House today won a second
|skirmish in favor of national pro
hibition during the war, when on a
preliminary vote an amendment was
approved refusing any of the SILL
I346 400 appropriation in tile food pro
duction bill until President Wilson
issues a proclamation prohibiting the
use of food in the manufacture of in
toxicannts.
The dry amendment was fostered BY
Rep Randall of California, Prohibit
ZIONIST. It's opponents argued vainly
against any attempt to coerce the Pres
ident and insisted that such action
would not hurry the President into cxer-
cising his authority to prohibit the
manufacture of liquor during the war.
Republican members succeeded IN in
sorting an amendment to itenize all of
The appropria tons. An appropriation Of
s5o0,e for modifying farm labor vas
