 After W. H. Meadows, foreman of the jury, had spoken the words which will send her to the penitentiary, Miss Lusk leaned her head back against her fathers shoulder like a tired child.
 After remaining quiet for a moment, her eyes closed, she slowly rose to her feet, despite MT. Lusk's efforts to restrain her, and quietly walked around the counsel table until she confronted MT. Tullar. There was utter silence as she paused dramati- cally before throwing herself at the aged man with a half-choked cry which could be heard in every part of the building.
 At midnight Miss Lusk was resting quietly in her cell under the influ- ence of opiates. Judge Lueck, after the outbreak, requested counsel for the defense to hold all motions in abeyance and immediately adjourned court. Members of the jury said that ten ballots were necessary to arrive at the verdict

 The article also quoted Professor Persinger as follows:
 "The real trouble is that autocratic and aristocratic clements throughout the country are taking advantage of the war to override democratic ele- ments and ideas which they could have no hope of successfully attacking in time of peace, and against this attempt I expect to wage just as vigorous a fight as I am able, whether it costs me my position in the university or not"

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Two hun dred thousand men of draft age, who, because of minor physical defects have been held by examining surgeons over the country for limited military service are to be employed in producing or handling equipment for the army. Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder an- nounced tonight that the army staff corps will utilize the service of these registrants and thus release fighting men for the front line.
 General Crowder today issued the first call under the new plan. Orders went forth to governors of states for upwards of 5000 men for service in spruce production for airplanes. The men will be allowed to volunteer until next June 6. After that date a report will be made to the provost marshal general and if there are not sufficient volunteers, allotments will be made to the various states to be filled by in- voluntary indictment.
 May Work in Wood
 Some 10000 men of the army now are engaged in getting out spruce | timber in the northwest and the signal corps constantly is increasing this number. Consequently the sending of the new men to this field will consti- ute no new policy and it is under stood that it has no relation to com- plaints that Industrial Workers of the World there have retarded the output of spruce.
 | Some "A trades or classes including railroad, transport and construction men. office workers and laborers, are desired for the spruce division. When this division has been filled, men will be called to fill other staff services of the army until the 100000 total has been exhausted. No indication was given as to when the other calls will be made.
