CAPTURED BY
POLICE after
DARING HOLDUP

Another daylight holdup occurred
this morning, shortly after 10 o'clock,
when Samuel Shulkin, a storekceper
at 1893 Pembroke street, was brutally
beaten and robbed of $50 rs well as
some merchandise. The holdup man,
who was captured in the record time
of 15 minutes after his getaway, by
Officers Larney and Clancy CT the
Second Precinct, gave his name as
Nicholas Manning, 20, of 1857 Bar
mum avenue. He is being held by the
police and will be arraigned in the
City court tomorrow morning.
According to the story told by Shul-
hin, the alleged robber entered his
store and asked to be shown some
shirts. While Shulkin was busy get
ting some new patterns for him, it is
said he stole a shirt and three neck
ties after which he struck Shullkin
a violent blow on the head, knocking
nim out.
The robber then jumped behinI the
counter and rified the cash register of
$50, after which he made his getaway.
Shulkin, in the meanwhile, came to
his senses and Immediately notified
the police.
Manning, when he ran from the
store of his victim, made his way to
1908 East Main street. Running into
the house he stole hat belonging
to Arthur Rodrighutz, which he. ex-
changer for the cap he was wearing.
Leaving this place he went in the d.
rection of Arctic street where he was
accosted by the policemen.
1t is thought by the police that the
prisoner may be in some way con-
nected with the men who a couple Of
weeks ago made a desperate attempt
to rob J. S. wooster, the Fast Side
dry goods merchant. Wooster W as
brutally assaulted in much the same
manner as Samuel Shulkin was 20

Mobilization Commands
Will Soon Be Sent to
Governors.
PERSHING'S NEED
TO BE SATISFIED
Want of Men to Meet
German Offensive
Quickens Call.

Washington, April 5-Orders
for the mobilization of the first
large number of men of the
second draft will go out to the
governors of the states very
soon.
Fifteen thousand men Of the
second draft are now mobiliz-
ing, and the April call about to
go out will represent probably
more than the months proper
ton Of the 100000 men who it
previously has been announced
will be called during the re-
naming nine months Of the
year.
To call the 100000 in equal monthly
increments would mobilize them at
about the rate of 10000 a month. How
ever, there is no assurance that this
will be a fxed figure because the
flow of men will be determined by
tho needs of the army in Trance. AS
Gen .Pershing may call for specially
qualified troops, an average of 10000
q month may be much exceeded or
much decreased.
It has been announced that the men
will be drawn as gradually and in as
small numbers as possible, so as not
to dislocate industry, and particularly
agriculture.
So far as possible this plan will be
followed. The immediate need of in
creasing the American forces in
France, however, to meet the German
drive, is likely to result in calling the
men faster than at first proposed.
For that reason the April quota I'M
doubtedly will exceed its normal av-
erage. In fact, If the need is pressing
the entire 100000 might be called in
much less time than the nine months
originally planned.

Prayer was coal miner and yester-
day in Maryville, Ill, in an address
to the miners on Socialism, is said to
have made remarks derogatory to
President Wilson. Miners there be-
came angry and when they threaten

miners, however, followed him, col

the street, waving an American flag.
The police, fearing violence, took
Prayer from the crowd and placed him
in the city Jail. Later a large mob
