Farmer Charged With Interfer-
ing With Draft Says He Is
Not Guilty

A wholesale arrest Of alleged slack
ers in Southeast Missouri will be
made by Deputy United States Mar
shall Orchard, he said yesterday after
noon upon returning from Maiden
whence he brought two federal priso-
ners, one charged with interfering
with the draft, and the other accused
of violating the liquor laws.
George Wolters, farmer living
near Maiden is the man accused Of
interfering with the draft act. Ac-
cording to reports from Maiden he IS
said to have made an attempt to keep
young men from complying with the
provisions of the registration act.
VOTERS waived his preliminary hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Dearmont yesterday afternoon and his
bond was fixed at $500. He is still
he'd in the city Jail in default OF the
bond. He would not talk about the
charge, but maintained he was inno-
cent.
Six men from Dunklin County will
ne brought to the Cape today and
Monday for a preliminary hearing on
a charge of attempting TO evade the
daft. Deputy Marshal Orchard said he
had received information that a. least
half a dozen young men in Dunklin
County had failed TO register. He
expects to arrest these men and bring
them to the Cape for trial in federal
court in April.
Wolters learned that he was wanted
on the federal charge and surrendered
to the Deputy Marshal, when he ar
rived at Maiden. He tod the Mar
sal he was ready for trial and would
prove that he was not in any way
guilty of the charge, on which he was
wanted.
The other prisoner brought in yes
tcrday by Orchard is charged with
carrying liquor into dry state for
the purpose Of selling. He gave his
name as kid" Stone alias Potter.

Orrcn Wilson grabbed the afternoon
Frisco train yesterday and started
for Washington to find out what sort
Of a position he has hooked. Unless
some Joker sent him a mysterious
telegram last Sunday, he is about to

Justice Wilson is unable to say, but
he feels inclined to the belief that he

Justice Wilson approached The Tri-
bune office few days ago with a cut
CT himself in one hand and an article
chronicling his achievements in the
other. He asked that large type be
used IN the headlines, and then order
ed some personal cards, bearing these
words: "Orrc1 Wilson, attorney and
counselor at law" Residence and
Office phones were given.
The Judge suspects that he will b.
assigned to some department Of state
which will require considerable heavy
penmanship. In order to go over the
top, he purchased a package of Dick
FrisselPs famous zone Dip points.

barister as he speared two-bit piece

ports Registration OF
10 Germans

Today is the last day, on Which a.len
enemies may register in accordance
with the federal act passed by Con-
gress last fall. Up to the present
time. Chief of Police Whitener, who
was appointed chief registrar OF
alien enemies for this county, has reg
istered 10 alien enemies, among them
several men of this city, who had be-
l:eved they were citizens, and who are
said to have voted for many years.
Because of an order of theCnited
States Marshal in St. Louis the names
of the alien enemy registrants Will
not be published. An explanation for
this order was not given, but it is be-
lieved to be a precautionary measure
in order to protect the alien enemies
from any attack that might result
from their nationality.
One gray-hairad gentleman, who
gave his age as So years, was accom-,
panied by his son to the Office of City
eek Frissell, where Chief Whitenel
receives the alien enemies. Both mer

Visitors Come From Behind
In Second Half OF Bask-
ct Ball Game
CAPE AHEAD IN FIRST
HALF, is OVERTAKEN
Absence OF Cspe's Center Blam.
ed For Defeat-AnOther.
Game Played 'fonight

The Cape Normal basketball team
took it's third consecutive defeat from
the Carbonate, ILL.,, five at the Nor
NAL last night tfter making stren-
Gus effort to retain the Lead gained in
the first half Of the contest. The
score was 26:16 in favor of the visitors
The largest crowd ever seen at an
athletic event Of the Normal School
was on hand last night and cheered
every point scored by the local team.
Tie Cape team started the game
with the determination to win, and
maintained the spirit throughout the
first half of the game, which ended
with a score Of 11:8 in favor Of the
Cape. Owing to the absence Of John
Burford, the regular center of the
team, substitutes held to be used in
that position and several changes
were made during the contest in an
effort to stop the visitors.
The game started with the follow
ing lineup on the Cape side: Klaus
an! Dearmont, forwards; Winkler,cen-
ter: Kimrnich and Nc1vell, guards.
After the first ten minutes of play,
Coach "Cour'eux called Winkler out
and sent in Crecelius, who held
down center in gool style during the
rest # the first half and the first 10
minutes of pay in the second half
Sutter-ield was then called out to
succeed Crecelius. these were the
only changes in the lineup.
Ca,bondale, which claims the cham
pionship title of colleges in Illinois,
had the following players in the game
Pabst and Doolin, forwards; Carter,
center: Baker and Etherton, guard.
Hauptmann played center during the
'a~t half Of the contest.
WITH the return Of Burford to the
game today. the local boys are more
confident of winning today's contest
AGAINST the same team. The fact that
t. Cape team was able to get the lead
on the visitors has convinced the
Normal quintet that the visitors are
not immune faom defeat, although
they hold a clean record for this year.
The Carbondale team surprised the
spectators last night during the last
ten minutes Of the game giving an
exhibition Of fast and clever playing.
Three field goals fere scored in rapid
succession before the local players
could. get their line Of defense rear
ranged. Up to that time the Cape
bows had more than held their own
against the strong Illinois aggrega-
ton and victory was certain.
Dearmont of the Cape Normal led
his side in scoring. He made three
fed goals, while Klaus, the othe,
forward, totaled two field goals and
four fouls. Crecelius was the only
other player of the Cape team who
had a score to his credit. Hemadc
a fed goal in the beginning of the
second half.
Tho Cape Normal team was defeat
ed by the Carbondale five last week
In both contests the winners upheld
tn claim to the college championship
in basketball.
Another game will be played fol
the same teams tonight.

Mr.. Vacant Property Owner,

Mr.. Vacant Property Owner,
what are you doing aboutcon.
structing a dwelling on your
lot, and thus doing your bit to-.
ward relieving the stress for st.
Johns habitation? Are you do.
ing anything, or contemplating
doing anything about it? Some
of the vacant lot owners are now
completing plans to aid in the
movement for more new houses
in st. Johns. Why not you? If
you are hesitating because of
lack of funds, the Peninsula Sc.
curity Co. Of st. Johns will help
you out. Ask Mr.. Drinker about
il. From all indications, il five
hundred more houses were erect
ed in st. Johns this year, it is
assured that every one would
find a tenant. The local ship
plant at the present time has
more than 5000 employees on its
pay roll. with more being added
right along; the elevator system
is working three shifts and a
large number of men; the wool
en- mills is greatly enlarging its
capacity, the Peninsula Iron
Works is running three shifts,
the saw mills. Portland Manu-.
featuring plant, the Cooperage
plant and other industries are
operating to full capacity, so
there is evidence in abundance
that vacant houses will not go
begging for tenants. Make your
vacant lot pay you an income.
and at the same time become a
public benefactor. The oppor-
tunity is at hand seize il while

bonds into 5 per cent bonds rather
than 81 per cent bonds BY eliminst-
ing the optional clause, S. J. Bsckner
q the National Bank said that he

one.
Il was IN communication with a.
concern IN Chicago 81 the time that
Judge Carter first mentioned the
change 70 me. I told him. as | say
now, that a 5 per cent bond without
an option is a much better seller than
q 81 per cent bond with an optional
clause. This Chicago firm refused to
take up any Of the bonds because Of
the optional clause. / think that the
move was a wise one"
W. W. Pollock Of the North Mis-
sour Trust Co., when asked his opin-
ion Of the move, said that he was sure
that he was expressing the idea Of all
Of the hnaneie-s in town when he
said that he was glad that the county
was going TO make this move
There is no use talking. The Coun-
ty can not possibly pay the debt of in
FIVE years with out doubling or tnp-
pling the taxes. So the sS,267.50 Is
clear profit for the county"
