Draft Deserters Facing

most persons knowing the whereabouts
of draft deserter, will be only too will
ing to volunteer the information. Much
aid also is anticipated from members of
the American Legion. which has consis-
tently urged the department to take
action against draft delinquents. -
The greatest care will be exercised in
making up the list of deserters, lest the
names Of innocent men be included, de-
partment officials stated. Already 151,-
354 men have been found to have been re-
ported improperly as deserters by State
adjutant generals and local draft boards.
These errors were rectified by the adju-
tant generals department, which has
just completed examination of the rec
ords Of 4S9,003 registrants reported as
deserters.
The lists are checked carefully against
the records of men who served in the
army, navy and marine corps during
the war, In order to eliminate the names
of men who actually rendered service but
overlooked the formality of notifying the
local draft boards.
The department announcement defines
1willful draft ueserters" as men who
registered under the provisions of the
selective draft law, but failed to report
for military duty at the time and place
specified Under the law they are held
to have been induced into service from
the date on which they were ordered to
report and since they have never been
discharged, are still under military juris-
diction, and liable to trial by gel@ral
court-martial for desertion. - 80

Chauffeur Charges
Father of Heiress
Beat Him With Cane
Robert F. Angel to Be Made
Defendant ip $4,000
Damage Suit.

PASADENA, Cal. Dec. 27.-Fashionable
society circles were startled here today
to learn that Robert f. Angel, father Of
Delorra Angel Of Chicago, in Pasadena,
beiress to $5S,000000, is to be made the
target of q damage suit for $40 000 by
Frank S. Reid, chauffeur, who charges
he was beaten by Angel with cane.
f. G. Dunham, attorney for Reid, stated
he would file the suit.
According to the complaint Reid drove
Mrs. ANGEL and Delorra home one day
last October and on their arrival he
heard Angel "eursing and swearing in a
loud and unusual manner" Reid claimed
Mrs Angel told him, 'Mr. Angel has
found a letter about you-but something
you know nothing about thnt-that De-
lorra has written. You drive the car to
the garage and leave"
The complaint recites that Reid at
tempted to leave the premises. but that
Angel headed him of and struck him with
a cane and hit him on the side of the
face with his Rand and called him vile
names.
The belief is expressed that the letter
which is said 10 have enraged Angel,
was written by Delorra to a friend and
that in 1t she expressed regret that Reid
was about 10 leave her fathers employ
The curiosity of the fashionable winter
colony is centered in the speculation as
TO whether the reputed attack on Angell's
part was inspired By a belief that the
chauffeur was acting as 90 between for
mis- daughter and one Of her friends
whom he disapproved
Mr.. Angel could not be reached and
no comment on the suit was made by
any one at his home.
Miss Angel. who viii soon be 1S, will
inherit the fortune left her by Mrs. John
