NEW PLOT IN IRELAND
AMMUNITION is SEIZED IN DIR.
LIN MARKET PLACE.
Shortt Says Government Has Found
That ireland Is in communica-
ton With Germany.

London, June 26.-Seizure of 10000
rounds of ammunition in the Smith
held Market in Dublin Monday is ex-
pected to have developments, accord
ing to the Dublin correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who says the seizure was
an incident in an attempt to smuggle
arms and ammunition into Ireland on
large scale.
Inc first discovery of the affair
seems to have been made by the DO
lice at Belfast, where ship, whose
name is not divulged, arrived the lat
ter part of last week, bringing a mis-
cellaneous cargo, among which contra
band was cleverly distributed. The
contraband goods were consigned to
various parts of the country. An in
vestigation is proceeding to discover
how much of it reached its destina-
ton.
1t is understood that in addition to
the seizure at Dublin, 5000 cartridges
were found in Belfast and other par
cells in Dungannon and Portadown.
The Dublin consignment was hidden in
sacks of oats. The consignee is said
to be brother of one of the in
termed Sim Feiners.
London, June 26.-Edward Shortt,
chief secretary for Ireland, said he
hoped to satisfy the house that the
German plot in Ireland was a real and
imminent menace. The government
had found, he said, that Germany was
in touch with Ireland, and not only
were messages going to Ireland from a
German source, but messages we're GO
ing from Irish sources to Germany.

Is Before Senate Today.

Washington, June 26.-Unless the
administration interposes opposition

to the draft law extending conscrip-
ton to all men from twenty to forty

itations above thirty and below twen-
ty-one years, the proponents of the
action united on a compromise amend
ment, offered by Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, which makes twenty years
the minimum and forty years the maxi
num-. This was offered as a substi-
tute for Senator Falls amendment ex-
tending the draft to men from eighteen
to forty-five years, inclusive.

DRY LAW OPPOSED
BY WAR WORKERS
Witnesses Tell Senators Plan
Would Be Dangerous.
NO TIME FOR EXPERIMENTS
Hurley of Shipping Board and Samuel
0ompers Say Organized Labor Is
Against Change-DanieIs for
Prohibition.

Washington, June o. Immediate
absolute prohibition was vigorously
opposed before the senate agriculture
committee by an array of witnesses,
including Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of labor and Percy H. Johnston, vice
president of the Chemical National
bank of New York, speaking for
committee of bankers.
Mr.. Hurley declared the shipping
board feared taking beer from the
workmen would interfere with the
great shipbuilding program, and Mr..
Gompers declared organized labor was
overwhelmingly opposed to absolute
prohibition at this time. Mr.. John
stOn told the committee immediate
prohibition would throw many banks
into the hands of receivers and bank
rupt thousands of firms.
Secretary Daniels appeared as a
champion of prohibition and cited his
famous dry order in the navy to prove
that it would not interfere with eff
cheney.
BurIeson Explains Views.
Postmaster General Burleson, eX-
pTaining that he was voicing his per-
sonal views, opposed the pending
Jones prohibition amendment to the
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill and said he feared it would upset
labor
Declaring the nation cannot afford
to adopt experiments at this time,
Chairman Hurley said:
"We've got to put all the smash and
drive we've got into this war. We've
got to fight, fight and still fight with
every muscle strafning, and put aside
nonessential experimenting if we are
to wiring victory from the Huns"
Organized Labor Opposed.
Organized labor is Overwhelmingly
opposed to absolute prohibition and
to bring up the question now is to
throw the apple of discord among
the people of this country" said Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor
Secretary Daniels appeared to ad-
vocate prohibition. He said his dry
order in the navy had resulted in in
creased efficiency and proved its calue.
"If you say we must have saloons
outside the doors of the navy yards
to increase efficiency of the workmen,"
he added, you can say also it is ne
cessary for the men in uniform to
have liquor"

100000 MEN CALLED
cRoWDER ASKS STATES FOR
MORE DRAFT REGISTRANTS
Drawing of Order Numbers for 80O,-
600 Newly Registered Men Will
Be Held Thursday.

Washington, June 26.-As a further
step carrying out the war departments
plan for 100000 men under arms Au-
gust 1, Provost Marshal General Crow
der last night called on the governors
of all states except Illinois for the
mobilization between July % and % OF
100000 white draft registrants quail
fed for general military service. Hi
nois and Arizona were not included
because they had been so heavily
drained in previous calls.
This call is expected virtually TO ex-
haust the number of men now in class
one, available FOR active military serv-.
ice, and when added to school requi-
sitions of 1896 men, brings the total
calls so far announced for July to 243,-
1876. To complete its program for the
remainder of the present year, the
department will have to depend on the
100000 class one registrants expected
from July enrolment and the 250,
900 or 100000 to be obtained through
the Reconsideration now in progress.
In the call New York leads the list
with 22,241 men Iowa is second, with
17,S49, and Ohio third, with 12,200.
Drawing of order numbers. for the
100000 men who registered for mill
tary service last June 5 will be held
Thursday in the same committee room
in the senate Office building in which
the first great national lottery was
held nearly year ago.
Invitations to attend the drawing
have been sent to all important gov,
eminent officials and to members of
the military committee of both the
senate and house. Secretary Baker,
will draw the first num-
Der from the bowl at 9 80 a. M, and
the selection will continue until all the
capsules containing the master num-
bers have been removed. Last year
10000 numbers were used and the
drawing continued for IL hours.
The order in which a registrant's
number is drawn Thursday will deter
mine only his place in the class to
which he will be assigned.
Assignment of registrant to class
one is practically certain to entail his
early call to colors if he is physically
fit.
