DIDN'T GIVE AGE? YOU
MUST REGISTER OCT. 4

w. H. Brooks, county auditor, ad-
vises those voters who failed to give
their specific ages in registering Sept.
4, or who registered in a precinct in
which they do not reside, to register
again on Oct. 4, which is the next
and final day of registration before
the election.
I'VE cannot be expected to go
through all the registration papers
and ascertain what voters disqualified
themselves by not stating their ages
specifically or who registered in pre-.
cincts in which they do not reside
If we attempted such an investiga
ton it would keep us busy up to the
time for final registration" Mr.
Brooks said.
my advice to those who did not
register properly on Sept. is to reg
lister again on Oct. 4. l also want to
call attention to the fact that people
who registered Sept. and have moved
into another precinct since that time
will have to register again Oct. in
whatever precinct they are residing al
that time"

BIG THEFTS FROM
NEAR EAST RELIEF
SUPPLY, DISCOVERED
(By Associated Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept 14.-Six
former American soldiers who have
been arrested in connection with
thefts of supplies from the American
committee for relief in the near east,
have virtually confessed and have
promised to tell all they know, in the
hope that leniency will be shown them
according to officials investigating the
situation. The thefts are said to total
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Charles Allen, American consul here
is conducting the examinations of the
six men, and Charles R. Aldrich, a
New York lawyer, is appearing in be-
half of American contributors to the
committees funds. He was preparing
to return to America, but declared he
,elt it his duty to remain as no other
American lawyer is available here.
Anticipate Long investigation.
A long investigation is anticipated
for the purpose of determining the ex-
tent of the thefts from the committee.
Officials declare that the losses from
thefts, together with manipulation Of
funds and supplies may be far larger
than at first suspected.
1t is declared they extend over a
period Of a year and a half and in
volve officers Of other charity war
organizations who worked temporarily
with the old American committees for
relief in the near east and then re-
turned to the. United States.
The investigation was brought about
by the arrest of the six former Amer
lean soldiers by J. P. Coombs, former
lieutenant colonel in the American
army, who has been here about six
months.
Lieutenant Colonel Coombs advised
with c. V. Vickery, general secretary
of the American committee for relief
in the near east and they decided to
consult Rear Admiral Mark l.. Bris-
tol. American high commissioner here.
Admiral Bristol decided that the me1l
should be prosecuted.
Gillespie Is Counsel.
Julian Gillespie of Dallas, Tex, for
merly captain in the American army,
has been appointed counsel for the
six prisoners.
When the men were arrested, they
declared it would be unfair if they
should suffer and high officials who
were responsible for large sums should
escape.

Wait Report Of Sub-Commit-

Work k-District Heads Lay
Down Terms.
LOOK FOR COMPROMISE
(By Associated Presg)

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. IA. - The
policy committee of the United Nine
Workers held a brief session today,
and adjourned to wait report from
the subcommittee appointed to draft
definite plan of action, with regard
to idle miners returning to work, and
to taking further steps to have the
wage question reopened.
Thomas Kennedy, president Of dis
trict seven, and chairman of the policy
committee, would not indicate the
probable action Of the committee other
than to say that there would probably
be "a satisfactory adjustment"
Representatives of district nine said
they would not agree to going back to
work unless the operators agreed to
take back pumpmen, engineers and
firemep who quit work with the other
men.
All Mines Still Idle.
All mines were idle today. Some
laborers appeared at mines to do re-
pair work.
Indications were that the deadlock
which resulted in the committees ad-
journment yesterday would be broken
by the acceptance of some definite
plan, but whether it would provide for
quick resumption of work in the
hard coal field could not be learned.
Among the proposals to be present
led to the committee today was one
providing for the ordering back to
work of the miners and a renewal Of
the request upon President Wilson for
the reopening of the award of the
presidential wage commission.
Action Can Be Taken.
Officials of the mine workers union
declared this action could be taken
without affecting the dignity and
honor" of the union and predicted the
proposition would be adopted despite
the opposition of the insurgent cle-
ments.
seven declared yesterday, however,
that the stand taken yesterday in de-
manding a definite guarantee that
President Wilson would reopen the
award before ordering the miners back
to work was unchanged.
They said they desire to have a
committee go to Washington to confer
with President Wilson or Secretary of
Labor Wilson, regarding this matter
before issuing any order to the wa
cationists."
Say They'll Order 'em Back.
Philip Murray, international vice.
president, and representatives Of dis
trict one, asserted that they would
not quit the meeting until they had
put through their policy to order the
men back to work in accordance with
the agreement signed at Scranton,
pending efforts to reopen the award of
the presidential commission.

Bandits, Aged 3 to 13,
Try Bold Auto Theft;
Roqr Ruins YOUNGEST

Five boys, ranging in age from three
to 13 years, attempted to drive away
an automobile belonging to Charles
Wilson, while the car was standing at
the side of a garage at the corner OF
North Seventh and Sailor streets
Monday evening.
The youngsters climbed into the
machine, the oldest taking the wheel
and attempting to start the engine,
ably assisted by the other boys. The
roar of the self-starter so frightened
the youngest Jesse James, who had
never been in an automobile before,
that he JUMPED out of the car.
The boys finally got the machine in
motion, but before they had crossed
Seventh street irate garage men bore
down upon them and recaptured the
car. All the boys escaped except one
10 year old lad, who later flooded
police headquarters with his tears.
