DRAFT INQUIRY
DUE NEXT WEEK
Colonel Warren Sends Word
That He Will Be Here Later;
Beary Points to Record

Colonel G. b. Warren, OF the judge
advocate generals department, has
deferred his visit to this city to make
an investigation into matters between
state draft headquarters and the
State Capitol, it was announced to-
day at the Adjutant Generals De-
partment. 1t was stated yesterday
that the Colonel would be here to-
day. He may be here Tuesday.
II am informed that Colonel War
rem will not be here this week." said
Adjutant General Frank d. Beary. to-
day, and | do not have information
as to when he will be here"
What have you to say regarding
reports that there has been a lack of
cooperation between the Governor
and the Adjutant General and the
men in charge of the selective serv-
ice?" was asked of him.
The answer is to be found in the
fact that Pennsylvania. called upon
to furnish thousands of men under
the draft, has done so promptly. 1t
has met every call with the men
wanted and on time. 1t is now pre-
pairing to send thousands more and
will start the movement tomorrow
morning"
Just what attitude the Governor
will take regarding Lieutenant j. j.
Mackey, who was sent here from
Washington some time ago and
whose reports are understood to have
started things, is a matter of specu-
lation here.
1t became known to-day that Gov
ernor Brumbaugh received a tele-
gram from Washington last week
advising him of the intention to have
an officer of the Judge advocate
generals department come to Harris
burg to make an inspection of the
olaft headquarters and the methods
and in reply word was sent that he
woul6 be welcome. Late yesterday
a message was. received in Harris
burg that Warren would not be here.
Beyond General Beary's statement
that Pennsylvania had furnished
completely and without friction or
delay the men called, nothing was
said on the subject, but it is a mat
ter of common knowledge at the
Capitol that Governor Brumbaugh is
preparing to act in the case of Lieu
tenant Mackey.
Some time ago it was noticed at
the Governors office that kilograms
which had been coming to Harris
burg on draft matters were no long
er addressed to the Governor, but to
Major w. G. Murdock. Under the
law, tho Governor is the head of the
draft machinery in the state and an
inquiry as to the reason for the
change is on foot.
There have been persistent rumors
that unless Mackey is withdrawn
Major Murdock may ask to be re-
lieved. but no one will discuss them
C. e. Crowther. the representative
of the railroads here in connection
with movements of drafted men, de-
clared that there had never been
any delays due to falldowns of Penn
sylvania draft boards.
