Fight hundred and fifteen Bismarck men trudged through the mud and drizzling rain to their polling places yesterday and signed up for service in Uncle Sam's first select army of 500,000. The number of registrations exceeded by 75 the Tribune's origi- nal estimate of 750, and by 125 the number predicted generally at the opening of the polls yesterday. Every ward did its share, but the Fifth maintained its leadership established early in the day and nosed over the line with a total of 190.

It was real work for the regis- trars, tedious, painstaking labor with hardly a moment’s let-up throughout the long day, from 7:00 in the morn- ing until 9:00 at night. And it was considerably later before the summing up could be completed and a belated lunch enjoyed. Eut the registrars all enjoyed it.

The girls who had the pleasant duty of pinning badges on the arms of candidates thoroughly enjoyed the experience. “You see,” said one fair miss, “this gives us some valuable inside infor- mation. It’s very easy for us to glance over the card and discover whether he’s married or single, and, of course, we're extra nice to the sin- gle ones, because they're most likely to be called.” “We had one bashful boy in here today,” advised another. “When stepped forward to pin a badge on him he made for the door, and if it hadn’t chanced to be open he would have taken glass, sash and all with him. I'll just bet, though, he makes a dandy soldier. He had such nice hair.” “If we had thought of it in time,” said a dainty damsel at another booth, “we might have written our names and addresses, and even our telephone numbers inside the khaki arm-bands. You see some of these boys are going to worry about the draft, and they'll be lonesome, and anyway a great many of them are really nice looking.

LENART AD BURTON MADE GRADE ASL Business Administration Candi- dates Elected by Vote of Three to One © A. P. Lenhart and Cecil L. Burton were swept into. office as members of the ‘Bismarck board of education yesterday ‘by an avalanche of votes which left very few to be distributed among the other five contenders. Len- hart headed the stampede with, 586, and Burton was only nine votes be- hind the leader. ‘E. H. Howell fin- consisted of Joe Schneider, 66; Mrs. J. S. Arnold, 34; Mrs. D. B. Shaw, 14, and Marcus A. Edberg, 4. Considering the day and all of the excitement attendant on registration the vote cast, 634, was very good. An unusually large female vote was polled, in spite of the fact that rain overhead and mud underfoot was not conducive to venturing’ afield. The two women candidates did not poll a very large proportion of the 200 votes cast by members of their sex. iz The only event of the day was the late arrival of one of the lady candi- dates a half hour after the polls were closed. She was very much annoyed ‘when she discovered that she was fot to be permitted to cast a belated vote. FOL PLOT 10 ABIUGT HEAD Of MUNITION PLAN Springfield, Mo., June 6.—Plans to abduct a St. Louis manufacturer of munitions as part of a German con- spiracy to block shipment of such supplies, were confessed here today to Paul O’Day, prosecuting attorney, by C.

Opens Strong Chicago, June 6.—Extreme advances of from 8 7-8 to 9 1-2c were scored in the corn market at the opening to- day in the prospect of adjusting trade because of the adjusting of prices at the last exchange session on Mon- day. Yesterday was a holiday. The directors of the board of trade fixed the maximum price of all deliveries of maize at $1.65 a bushel, a price far in advance of the deferred deliv- eries and allowing considerable head- room for an advance in July options. “GOLDIE” GILL OF “RABBIT ROW” GUILTY OF PIGGING “Goldie” Gill, czar of “Rabbit Row” at the foot of eventh street, was found guilty late yesterday of maintaining a common nuisance.

Every city which has reported to date has exceeded anticipations in a degree which warrants the adjutant general’s prediction. “Everything quiet and peaceful; no disorder; splendid enrollment; excel- lent spirit shown in registration,” the adjutant general this morning wired the war ‘department. Governor Frazier was in Townley’s train this morning and no statement from him was available. Secretary N. A.

Washington, June 6.—Provost Mar- shal General Crowder announced this morning that inasmuch as all regis- trars are given until noon to make reports, no returns from the registra- tion yesterday are expected until late today. He also notified' all governors: that he had interpreted the law ¢o‘péermit anyone, who‘ in good faith ‘failed; to register yesterday, to do so today and, announced that a liberal policy would be pursued to make the regis- tration complete. Early incomplete returns ° indicate that sum totals would fall below the estimate. New Jersey reported 302,- 866, about 7,000 under the number ex- pected, while Wisconsin with 218,000 was 11,000 less than government estt- mates. Select Those for Draft. The next step in the government plan ‘will be the selection of those who actually are to bear arms from those who remain at home because of dependents, or to do the work on the farm or the factory. This task will be undertaken as soon as com- plete returns have been tabulated and surveyed. The men selected will be put in training early in the fall. Originally it was intended to call 500,000 men for the first draft army to support the national guard, but a few days ago it was announced nearly a million men would be needed on the first selection.

When some of the boys were passing the: farm early yesterday morning they went to his barn and found his body hanging from the rafters. No one knows what led the young farmer to commit suicide, but it is recalled that registration weighed on his mind. He was a bachelor and farmed as a tenant the Ozman place fifteen miles northeast of Wilton. Maruske, of Polish birth knew Eur-. ope and conditions and expressed a reluctance to service in foreign lands. but all that he had said took on a special significance when his ‘neigh- bors saw his lifeless body swinging from one of the rafters on registration day. The deed evidently was committed Monday evening or early Tuesday morning of the day set for registra- tion. A. R. Shipp, coroner, and/ Sheriff French were-called to Wilton yester- day and after viewing the remains the coroner ordered them taken to Wilton. Maruske has an‘uncle and cousin re- siding at Scotland, S. D. They have been notified andthe body awaits ac- tion by them. Should they not claim the remains, Maruske will be buried by the county. Maruske was 24 years of age, un- married and left behind nothing that would shed any light upon the motives behind the suicide except his well known opposition to registering. Be- cause he was engaged in active farm- ing, Maruske probably would have been exempt anyway, but neighbors relate that he was not thoroughly posted on the features of the selective draft act, confusing it with the more severe and mandatory military laws of other lands, ¢ ON TAAL FOR. HUAN MURDER Man Charged With Directing ~ Crime for Victim’s Husband . First Case Oalled REDENBAUGH AND M’COOL TO BE STAR WITNESSES St. Paul, Minn. June 6.—Mike Moore, bartender, said to have been ‘a go-between in the alleged plot which resulted n the murder of Mrs. Alice Dunn on April 26, was placed on trial in the district court today charged with first degree murder. Moore is alleged to have hired Jo- seph Redenbaugh, Frank J. McCool and “Johnnie” Doyle to commit the murder, paying them with $3,000, fur- nished by Frank J. Dunn, husband of the woman slain. Redenbaugh has confessed the crime, implicating Moore, McCool and Doyle as accomplices. He is serving a life sentence. McCool is now on trial in Minneapolis, charged with the murder of Policeman Connery. The police are searching for Doyle. Both Redenbaugh and McCool will ‘be witnesses against Moore. Moore Assails Jury. The selection of the jurors had not proceeded far before ‘Moore broke into a tirade of vulgar language, dur- ing which he warned the presiding judge that he wanted a fair and im- partial trial and shouted, “You'd bet- ter see that I get it.” Moore was quieted by his attorney and court of- ficials, but shortly after his outbreak, George Moore, a brother, came into the courtroom and, without warning, arose from his chair and shouted, “My brother has not killed anyone. Why is he charged with murder?” He was hurried from the room. ‘Six jurors were selected from 13 men examined. It is expected hear- ing of evidence will begin tomorrow Particularly Brutal The murder of Mrs. Alice McQuil- lan Dunn was described by the ‘police as particularly brutal. While she slept beside her sister, Katherine, in an upper room in the home of her father, J. F. McQuillan, on Selby Av- enue here, early in the morning of Thursday, April 26, two men entered the house by a rear door. One of them groped his way up a stairway} to the room of the young women, turn- ed an electric si light on their bed and saying to Miss Katherine “Lie still; I only want to do a little shoot- ing,” shot Mrs. Dunn three times her death being instantancous. Miss Katherine’s cries awoke her father and other members of the family, but the men made their escape from the house. | Arrest the Husband The police were immediately noti- fied and their first act was to take into custody Frank J.

D., June 6.—Social- ism ran rampant at the registration day -rally of the Non-partisan league addressed here yesterday by the chief executive of North Dakota, President Townley and Organizers Bowen and Thomason of the Non-partisan league. Americanism, patriotism, registra- tion, loyalty were crowded into the background, while Governor Frazier and John M. Baer, candidate for con- gress in the Fir strict, vied with one. another in ridiculing the nation’s law-makers. The congressional can- didate of the league excelled through his ability with the chalk-stick. Members of the United States sen- ate whothave, stood loyally by the pre- sident in this great national crisis upon whose most vital day North Da- kota’s chief executive deserted his high offices to make holiday for Townley and Thomason were characterized by Frazier as “pompous men with their white vests and longtailed coats strut- ting around.” Moyer-Hay wood-Goldman The governor did make one conces- sion to patriotism when he referred to the response of the thousands of North Dakota young men who were yesterday doing their duty at the re- gistration booths, and to the Civil war veterans Who. have volunteered to again offer their, lives for their coun- try. The principal theme of the three addresses which he delivered during the day, however, )\was!ian| appeal to class prejudice, such an appeal ag might be made by Charles: |Moyer to his Western Federation of Miners; by Haywood to his I, W. W., or by Emma Goldman to her fellow anarchists. Baer’s Contribution Baer’s contribution to the Socialistie festival was that “war is not an issue pin-thig-eampaign. - It is-a facts - The Non-partisan league did not have: a chance to vote on this war. It did not have a man there. We cannot prevent a thing that is on. I am patriotic, but 1 want to see this gov- ernment adopt a line of 'patriotizm without a pay in it.” % Congress today does not represent the people, Governor Frazier solemn- ly assured his hearers. “I was on the floor of the senate for a time, and I wonder how many of them really there.” Frazier followed Thomason and was in turn succeeded by Bowen. Their addresses had much in common. Each was plain, every-day, soap-box social- ism. NORWEGIANS OF LUTHERAN FAITH PROPOSE UNION St. Paul, Minn, June 6.—Three thousand delegates from all parts of the United States and Canada are here to attend a joint meeting of the three branches of the Norwegian Lu- theran church, called for the purpose of effecting a union and the forma- tion of a single church. The meetings began téday and will continue until June 15, when final plans for the reorganization of the church are expected to be completed The consolidation of the three will affect 3,500 congregations. The three branches now are divided merely on doctrinal differences involving prin- cipally the distinction between the “high” and the “low” church. The plan to unite has been decided on after many conferences during’ the last decade in the organization and the new church will be purely a for- mality.

The writer says that’ the situation of the ‘Russian armies before the out: ‘break of the revolution was extremely favorable. ‘The iosses of 1916 were being made good, the depots filled, a great merger of new divisions cre- ated, and guns and munitions were steadily increasing in quantity. INTERVENTION TIMED. “The allied campaign in the west must be judged in relation to the anticipated timely co-operation of the Russian armies, which were, early in March, two or three times superior numerically to the Austro-Germans facing them. Thanks to the devotion of the western allies a brilliant cam- paign by the gallant Russian armies seemed assured and their intervention was timed for a certain date, but when the date came no Russian inter- vention occurred.” The writer pays a hearty tribute to the efforts and sacrifices of the Russians since the beginning of the war.

The paraders, all shouting against war and registration, had paraded but four blocks when citizens began gath- ering, police reserves were called and crowds began to block the passage of the paraders. Police officers grabbed the leaders of the procession, when women in the parade began clawing the officers. Three or four shots were fired, but no one was hurt. Troops Called Out Mayor W. H. Maloney, mounting to the top of a building overlooking a crowd of 2,500 persons, announced that he would give them 15 minutes to dis- perse. The officers were powerless against the mass of humanity and the troops who had been held at their barracks, came down on a run, with bayonets fixed and proceeded directly at the mob, forcing the people to dis- perse, and assisting the local officers in making arrests. About eight or ten have been taken to the police station, and the officers are scouring the city rounding up others. City Under Martial Law The city is virtually under martial Jaw, groups of soldiers with bayonets fixed patrolling all the streets, allow- ing fo crowds or groups to congregate.

Joffre Laid Out ' Plan for American Army for France Paris, June 6.—A semi-official note says that (Marshal Joffre while in Am- erica had a conference with American military chiefs, at which a plan of organization for the new American army was elaborated, in agreement with British, leaders. The note says: “It will surprise none that the marshal took a preponderating part in the plans, literally everything which he advised being adopted. His collaborators styled him “The go@- father of the American army.” “At a moment when the firat ele- ment of this army is getting ready to take its place on our front, the French government considered it only fitting to confirm the marshal in. his spon- sorship.
