DESERTER HID FOR TWO YEARS
Wife Took Provisions To Him - Lived In
 Caves.

Chi1licothe Ohio, May 15-After nearly two years of hiding in the caves in Hooking Valley near Adel- phia, Ohio, in the fear that he would face a firing squad if discovered, Carl Amerine, 24, a deserter from the 84th Division, has given himself up to military authorities at Camp Sherman near here, 1t became known today. Amerine, who is 24, and who had been drafted in 1918 left the camp in August of that year to pay a visit to his wife and infant baby near Adei- phia, he said. He overstayed his leave. His wife fearing he would be shot as a deserter, persuaded him to go into the hfIis, Anerine told the officers. There he lived in the caves until yesterday when a friend of the family learned of his whereabouts and persuaded Amerine's wife to give her consent to his surrender.
 During the time he was hiding Amerine was furnished food by his wife, who sent it to him or took it to him in person daily.

 An amendment to the party con- stitution providing that delegates to international, national, state and local conventions as well as members of executive and other governing con- mittees must be citizens of the United States was adopted at the closing ses- sion of the convention, last night The possibility of aliens gaining complete control of the party through mem bership on the governing committees was one of the points on which the party was attacked during the trial of the five Socialist assembIymen al Albany.
 The convention also adopted the minority report of the com nlittee on industrial relations which recom- nended that the party refrain from interfering with the trade union movement. The majority report urged active propaganda among the trade unions.

 NOW FORCE Lenine Issues Decree Alp plying To North
 Russia.

Moscow, May 15-(By the A. P.)- A decree issued by the Central Execu- tive Committee dated May Il, pro- claims martial law in the provinces of central and northern Russia and Archangel.
 The provincial executive commit tees are given full power to protect railways, military supplies, magazines and depots and to control teIegraphic and telephonic communication.
 A twenty-four hour workday in the administrative offices is decreed and means are to be taken to stimulate the production of war material.
 Until the abolition of martial law the executive committees are given the same powers as military tribunals to secure the carrying out of this program, including punishment for disobedience.
 The decree is signed by Kalinir and Lenine-
 The inevitable interruption of the development of peace time industries through concentration upon the efort to produce war material, it is pointed out here, will tend indefinitely tt postpone the execution of plans fol resumption of importations and ex' portations on a large scale.

 The commissioner awarded the widow compensation at the rate of $10 a week for 312 weeks.
 In voFurninous finding handed down by Commissioner Beers, he f1ndS that the claimant is the second wife of the deceased and that the deceased lived in the building which collapsed with the first wife until her death and that he married the cIaima nj against the wishes of his children, who claimed that it was against the Jewish laws for a man to marry with in a year of the death of his wife. After the marriage the claimant continued to live in her own home and the said Abraham Merson con. tinued so far as outward appearances | were concerned to live alone in his !!
