fidence for publication everywhere
Saturday morning, but that suggestion
; w»s abandoned late tonight.
In the drawing Itself there will be
lllne actors. The principals will be a
blindfolded man who constantly stirs
the 10,500 black capsules in the great
glass bowl in which they have been
placed, another blindfolded man who
| draws the capsules from the bowl,
One at a time, and two announcers,

(tod to whom the capsules will be
handed In turn, as they are drawn.
The announcers will break the cap-
sules as they receieve them, extract
the tiny clip of paper on which a
number will be stamped and call the
number to three tally clerks. The slip
then will be handed to an official in
front of the bowl, who will verify
the announcers report and on his ver-
ification another man stationed at a
great blackboard will write the num-
ber 1/ its order on the board.
lie board will hold 1,000 numbers.

ened me out in good

™ " This famous remedy, the medicinal
jredients of which are derived from
oiee roots and herbs, has for forty
ears proved to be a most valuable tonic
"and invigorator of the female organism.
When It Is filled it will be taken out
of the room, photographed, cleaned
off, and returned, the drawing con-
tinuing meanwhile with a second
board in use.
The official record of the drawing
which will be furnished to the local
exemption boards and in accordance
with which they will call out the men
to fill each district will be made up
into books of eleven pages, each page
being a photographic facsimile of the
blackboard. The exemption boards
will take no action toward summon-
ing their men until these books reach
them through the malls.
What Changed the Plan.
The telephone message referred to
by General Crowder In his statement
came from the adjutant general of
New Jersey. When that officer learn-
ed through publication of the system
of the double drawing announced
earlier in the day, he saw Immediate-
ly that a great injustice would be
done in his state because of the way
in which the local boards had given
serial numbers to the cards from the
resistratlon precincts.
The New Jersey officer promptly
communicated his discovery to the
office of the provost marshal gen-
eral. A hasty conference was held
behind closed doors and a quick
search was made in the local board
records of many states which have
been received here. A similar situ-
ation was found to exist in many
parts of the country. In some lists
colored and white registrants had
been classified in separate groups
and the serial numhers ran accord-
ingly. In others aliens were sepa-
rated and given their own group of
serial numbers.
It was a hopeless tangle. If the
double drawing system were carried
out one election district in any ex-
emption division might be swept
clean of all its young men to fill
the quota while the other election
districts in the same exemption area
furnished no men whatever. In oth-
er cases it might he necessary to
pass upon and exempt a thousand
aliens before a single American was
called to service. In others a thou-
sand negroes might be taken for ex-
amination before a white man was
called or vice versa.
There was only one way out and
the war department promptly on-
nounced that the whole intricate
method of drawing devised to save
time and labor would be abandoned
in favor of the simple, direct plan
of drawing sufficient numbers to fix
the place of the last man in the
largest exemption district. That was
the original plan and it was intended
for weeks to draw In that way, but
the enormous amount of labor and
the time Involved prompted the ef-
fort to devise a short cut that would
be fair to all.
111.500 Numbers.
The drawing tomorrow was fixed
.at 10,500 numbers because a regis-
tration in Lansing, Mich., has 10,26.1
registered men. That is the largest
district on record here. Seven states
have, failed thus far to report their
maximum districts, however, and
10,500 numbers will be drawn to
take care of the Improbable possi-
bility that a larger district will show
up later,
Tho change in plan throws an
enormous burden of work on Gen-
eral Crowder's office, which had to
be completed tonight. In one room
a score of clerks pounded away with
numbering machines through the
night making up the 9,500 additional
key numbers necessary. In another
room fifty men, girls and boys toiled
over bowls of black capsules, rolling
up the numbered slips as they were
received and slipping them into the
concealing gelatine covering from
which they will be taken by the an-
nouncers tomorrow.
Alabama, first state on the roster
of the union, reports its largest ex-
emption district as containing 6,925
registrants. Then in the drawing
tomorrow the numbers from 6.925 t»
10,500 inclusive can be disregarded
entirely so far as Alabama is con-
cerned.

no interest in numbers above 6,711;

being followed came from words of
Miss Pearl Vivian.
On entering the office about noon
one day a shori while before the fail-
ure of the company came he heard
Miss Vivian say to Mrs. Ogle: "Well,
you have become our professional
forger, haven't you?"-
Ile immediately began to try to get
an Interview with A. 13. to find out
what it meant. A few days later he
m?t his brother at the office door and
told him of the remark he overheard,
asking what it meant. A. B.'s an-
swer was, "1 have been handling the
grain business for eleven years and
Campbell has been handling the bank
account k guess wc know what we
are doing.''
Witness stated that the indefinite
answer made him sure something was
re;>liy wrong and he sought in every
way to find out—even following Mrs.
Buchanan and A. B. when they would
go into the file room for consultation.
He was always sent away. Even if he
asked about special matters he was
told by A. B. to go on and wait.
As already stated he didn't find
out any part of the real truth until
A. B. called him into the office" or
file room and began to talk to him
about either leaving the country or
committing suicide.
fie had no Idea of the full truth
until after the failure came.
His statement as to the work done
to keep A. B. from committing suicide
and helping him to get out of the
country has already been noted.

Temple was visited by a soaking
sort of rain and of pretty fair quan-
tity both yesterday afternoon and
j early last night. While some parts
of the ounty got none of the moist-
ure. the rain seems to have been a
little more general so far as this
county Is concerned than some of
those which have preceded.
Pendleton had a two-inch rain.
Troy, Oenaville, Belton, Salado, IJt-
tle River and Bartlett all reported
pretty good rains, Killeen but a
shower and Sparta, Holland and Prai-
rie Dell all went through the day
without any rain.
Getting out of this county. Lam-
pasas reported a good rain. Brown-
wood very good, but Lometa light.
Copperas Cove had only a sprinkle.
Moody and Waco both had good
rains.
A few other points from which re-
ports were received at the Telegram
office last night were a* follows:
I^>rens, good rain; Austin, none;
Hlllsboro, light; Granger, none;
Georgetown, shower; San Antonio,
none; Marble Falls, none; Giddlngs,
none; Burnet, none.
Several sections that have been
waiting now have a season sufficient
for the planting of feed crops and;
are making brisk preparations for the

, Russia and Fngland to Require Ser-
vice of Faeli Other's Aliens.
George Houghton, Senator A C
Buchanan, Col. P. L Downs and D. H.
McKenzie were in Austin yesterday
to meet with the state highway com-
mission. Their visit was chiefly for
the purpose of obtaining information
as to the expenditure of the automo-
bile money being received by the com-
mission—the methods to be used in
the distribution of the funds going
back to the county and such other
data as might be of interest to all
those interested in tMe highways of
Bell county. They state that they re-
ceived a great deal of valuable infor-
mation and that a special matting of
the Chamber of Commerce may be
called at an early date to consider the
highways questions.
The members of the Temple party
found the commissioners very busy
but very courteous, and were shown
through the department and its work-
ing. There are about forty people
employed working up the cards regis-
tering the autos. The work is thor-
oughly systematized and rapid prog-
ress Is being made now. Something
of the enormous size of the job may
be seen, said the Temple men, from
the fact that there are about 200,000
autos to be registered. The cards
were first taken with the attached
remittances and classified according
to towns, and then these according to
counties. Five duplicate records of
the cards are now being made and
the entire state list registered alphe-
betically. Yesterday the department
completed the As in the registration
and will be ready to start on the Bs
this morning.
For a little while letters containing
the registration cards were received
at tho department at the rate of 20 -
000 to 30,000 a day.

chased. He also bought the pistol,
paying original purchase price.

A. B. left Tuesday njght, during the
right. Mrs. Buchanan left Saturday.
Mrs. Huchanan continued to attend to
the work in the office and he to niat-
tetft on the outside up to the time of
her leaving.
Connection Willi Firm.
Witness testified that he entered
the employ of the firm In 1913 at a
salary of $10 per month the highest
salary allowed an inexperienced man.
In January, 1914, he became a
member of the firm. No formal meet-
ing of the stockholders was held after
he M i a me a member.
Affairs of the company were man-
aged by A. B.
One morning A. B. told him that he
(tho witness) had been made secre-
tary. A short time after this A. B.
made J. D. Bill vice president. The
witness was at first put In the retail
department. After a few months he
was put to work on the books but
could not get them straightened up or
seem to do anything with them. He
went back to the retail department.
The story told of Mrs. Buchanan's
absence from office and his taking
charge of the banking was practical-
ly the same as that given in the tes-
timony of Mrs. Buchanan except that
he stated Mrs. Huchanan had gotten
mad because complaint had been made
at her salary being overdrawn. He
told of taking up of tho banking work
under instruction of A. B, who told
him that the putting of the copies of
bills of lading instead of the originals
was all right and was known to Mr.
Campbell. He attended to Mie bank-
ing work for several month/ when it
*»« turned back'to Mrs. Buchanan.
In the discussion of the allowing of
the drafts to be taken to the Crouch
company office by City National bank
no promise was made so far as he
knew except to get them back by 1 or
1:30 p. m. This request he complied
with. During part of the time he was
attending to the banking and later he
had charge of the handling of the
grain shipped in and out. During the
summer of 1915 the profit on the ac-
tual shipment* was good and a large
quantity of the outstanding drafts
were taken up. Soon after he left off
attending to the bookkeeping A. B.
had begun Instructing him in buying
and left him to took up claims, collect
unpaid bills and look after other mat-
ters pertaining to the handling of the
grain wholesale.
Witness was taken for several
months into the office of A. B. and in-
structed in buying and wiling by
phone ant? wire. He was then pu» -,it
on the road as buyer and shipper.
This part of the wyrk he liked better
than any other and succeeded better
with It. He was engaged in buying
and Selling on the outside when the
failure of the company came.
Witness testified that the first Inti-
mation he had of forgeries being
made or any other irregular practices

MAKIXETTE, Wis., J-y The
logging and lumbering days of the
Menominee river, one of the most
famous streams of its kind In the
country, virtually are over, after more
than a half century of driving and
manufacturing.
The last of the annual log drives,
comprising approximately 12,000,000
feet—whicfi is only about one-third
of tb« cut of the largest Menominee
river sawmills when this industry was
at its height—has just reached here.
There will be a few logs coming down
the river in the future, but they will
be driven by local lumber companies
arid will consist principally of pulp-
wood. This year's drive is the smallest
in the history of the Menominee River
Boom company.
The five remaining sawmills in Mar-
inette and Menominee will, in the fu-
ture, have all their timber brought
in by rail, the last of the logs tributary
to the local stream having been put in;
The first logs on the Menominee
river were driven by the Menominee
lliVer Boom company in 1868. In
that year 62,809,804 feet were piloted
from the upper waters to the local
booms. Bast year the total was ap-
proximately 15,991,850 feet.
During the period from 1868 to
1916, inclusive, the total number of
logs driven down the Menominee river
totalled approximately 10,810,34 1,028
feet. The exact total for this year is
not yet known.
The difference in the size of the logs
is as notable as the difference in the
total sorted. In 1889, the busiest year
that the boom company ever had, the
number of logs sorted was 642,137,850
feet. These logs averaged about 150
feet or seven to the thousand. List
year they averaged thirty-eight feet,
or about twenty-seven to the thousand.
The Menominee river in its heyday
was the greatest lumbering stream In
tlie world.
