CLAIMS HE SERVED AS i SOLDIER FOR BRITAIN
But John Jacob Is Temper arily Chased as Draft
 Dodger Here

John Jacob, aged 26 years. classi- fled by the war department as a draft evader, was taken into custody late last night by Detective Sergeant Will liam c. Hart and William P McCue. Jacob was found at the home of his parents at 169 Grove street. He is being held pending notification by the government officials as to what shall be done with him.
 Jacob, it is claimed. failed to an- swer the draft call for the second di- vision in this city. It was learned that Jacob left the country, going back to his native land, Persia. before his name was called. He was classi- fled by the local board as eligible for service.
 The local police received informa- ton yesterday that Jacob had arrived in this country from Persia last week, and he reached this city early last evening.
 A brother of Jacobs, named Jona than Jacobs, who saw service with the A. E. F., called at the police sta ton this afternoon, and exhibited a paper SnOWlnB that JOHH JdCOD Hdu served with the British military forces in Armenia from June 27, 1918, to June, 1919. The brother explained that John left this country for Persia to bring his parents here, before the draft board called his name.

PLAN MEETING ON
 TAX APARTMENTS
Mayor and Board of Aldermen To Hear Widows and Others on
 Question of Personal Tax

 This being the first year that wom- en have been obliged to pay personal taxes, it is expected that the mum Der of requests for abatement will be exceedingly great.
 Final notices are now being sent out by Special Collector Bernadotte Loomis These notices will be fol- lowed up by personal visits by an in- vestigator from the collectors office after which prosecutions will be brought in all cases where there has been no appeal to the mayor and board of aldermen.

JEWELL IS READY TO
 GRASP OLIVE BRANCH
Railway Union Leader Will ing to Make Peace With
 Railroads

Chicago, July 6. - Willingness to grasp the olive branch of peace until 1t breaks or until the strike of rail road shop crafts finally is settled, wal expressed today by B. M. Jewell president of the railway employees de partment of the American Federation of Labor.
 A statement issued by Mir. Jewell referred to letter sent to him yes terday by Ben ". Hooper. chairman of the railroad labor board in which Chairman Hooper said the board has protected the interests of the striking shopmen."
 Mir. Jewell's statement in part fol- lows:
 Though the letter itself has not reached me, I can on the basis of press reports say that the mere decla- ration that the organization of em- ployes who have declined or may de- cline as is their legal right, to accept the dictates of the labor board are not to be 'outlawed' does not remove or annul the official action of the board. The language of the resolu ton clearly provides that the shop crafts organizations are to be sup planted by organizations of what may be termed 'whitewashed strikebreak- ers.'"
 Several of the roads entering Chi cago today report that a majority of the men still out on strike. A num- Der of other roads announced that after July 10 the men who did not return to their work would lose sen iority rights.
 The report follows: Chicago and North Western, 1000 and 5000 men out on strike.
 Illinois Central. SO per cent at work. Santa Fe. 800 out of a total of 15,- poo at work. Burlington, 1,400 out of l total of 15,o00 at work. Rock Is- and, 5000 out on strike. Southern Pacific, so per cent out. Union Peci- ic, 75 per cent out.

 The fire started in the motorman'. box after fuse had blown out. There was flash of flame and the smoke swept through the crowded trains rendering scores unconscious.

 When the emergency brakes were applied and the train came to grind ing halt, guards threw open the doors and passe ngers who had not been overcome scrambled to escape. Those unable to walk were carried from the cars to the 59th street station. Fire ladders were lowered through iron grating at 61st street and unconscious women lifted to the street
 The injured were stretched out or the sidewalks for several blocks. A temporary hospital was organized and 14 pulmotors put in operation. The crowd of spectators became dense and police reserves were rushed to the scene.

 Mayor Hylan Gassed.
 M yor Hylan was driven back by fumes when he attempted to enter the subway. He was too badly gassed to make another attempt, but he direct ed that city experts be summoned to make an investigation.
 Policeman Is Hero. A man who kept his head when others lost theirs was the outstanding hero of the accident. He was Pa srolman Frederick Norman of the Oak street station who took charge of he train when it halted. As clouds of smoke began to roll | through the cars he commanded the l in the name of the law to emain quiet. Then he directed the | ,uards to open the door and began dragging half conscious men and women from the train.
 Then he. too, lapsed and had to ,e lifted to the street
