ba(e} SECOND HELD FOR FEDE INSPECTION Orders From Central Department Are That Regiment Is In- cluded in Call MUSTERING OFFICERS ASSIGNED DISTRICTS Capt. Leonard S. Hughes, U. S. A., of Fort Logan, Colo., and Captains R. H. Meade, Harry B. ‘Reynolds and Fred J. McAllister and First Lieuten- ant William A. Beckemeyer, from Fort Riley,Kan., members of the med- ical reserve officers’ corps, arrived last night and today to undertake the medical examinations to ‘be made in connection with mustering North Da- kota state troops into teaerai service. Captain Hughes will remain at headquarters in company with Major Settle, in charge of the muster, und the medical reserve officers will be assigned to the four divisions into which the companies of the First regi- ment have been assembled for the ex- amination and muster. These as- signments will result from a confer- ence now in progress in offices which Major has established in the North- west hotel building, and the muster- ing and examining officers probably will begin on their duties tomorryw morning. Major Settle has not yet received any further instructions with regard to the mustering in of the new Second regiment. ‘Second Is Safe. While the’ mustering in process/, which will Bégin Friday applies only to the First’ régiment, so far as, iny structions now in the hands of Major Douglas Settle, chief mustering officer for North Dakota are concerned, all doubts as to the fate of the new Sec- ond regiment were removed last night by the receipt from the central de- partment by Adjutant General Fraser of advices that the inspection of the Second for federal recognition would proceed with all possible dispatch, and that the enlisted personnel of the Sec- ond is included in the call and should be held for federal service. The cen- tral department advised that if neces- sary an extension of time for the in- spection of the Second will be granted. Company Reports. Captains of both regiments have re- ported from company stations men ranging in numper from 7 at Hills- boro in the First to 159 at Wahpeton. Minot in the First is recruited to full war strength, and the two battalions of this regiment not now in federal service ‘reported 1,102 men, which, with the 600 stationed at Fort Lin- coln, make the total 1,700. In the Second, Minot/ with 125, re- ports the largest number of men, a strength of 1,004 enlisted men, or just half war strength, being shown. Major Settle appointed mustering officers last’evening as follows: Lieu- tenant Albert ‘Behonek, Grand Forks and Grafton companies; Lieutenant Hugo Renden, Hillsboro, Fargo and Wahpeton; Captain J. W. Murphy, Lisbon and Valley City; Captain Rob- ert ‘Wilson, Minot and Williston. Cap- tain'C. N. Barker will remain at head- quarters. “All of these state troops,” said Major Settle last night, “will be in- cluded in the draft Aug. 5, in order that there may be no question as to the president’s right to detail them for foreign service.” HOW UNGLE SAM IS TO CONDUCT LOTTERY (Continued from Page Une) Pherefdré, the question is not ;;who shall’ go first,’ but who shall be, first called up‘ fot! examination,” and what we must do fs‘to‘make a list showing = of suitable size for convenient exam- ination. There are 4,557 of these groups. For each group a board has been appointed to examine for selec- tion. By far the greater number of these groups consist of approximately 3,000 men. “Since this is so, our problem is not to put the whole 10,000,000 names in one list arranged in the order of ex- amination. It is to determine the or- der of, examination in each group. ‘Necessity for Drawing. “Since ajl, registered men stand: int an equality of right and duty,” the, question of priority can only bé'de termined by lot or drawing. It would’ be possible to have 4,557 separate drawings—one for each group—but sinee methods would vary and since supervision and absolute insurance against the charge of fraudulent mani- pulation could not be had in that way, every consideration of expediency and justice urges one drawing in Wash- ington. “In each group every registration card has a red inked number written on its faca and these numbers raniin) a single series from) unity (1) ‘to ‘tie: number, gopresponding he girédtest: number of cards in th up. ‘Nor; mally this is from unity 3,000. H “Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attested and sent to the various. state capitols. Lists show- ing the name of each man in each group and the serial number of his card have been posted in the office of the board, published in the press and one copy is on file in Washington. There is therefore, no chance of any man’s number being changed without detection, or of any card being lost beyond. replacement. ‘ Idea of Central Drawing. “Suppose there were just 3,000 names and numbers in every group. It is at once apparent that it would be a very simple thing to have a cen- tral drawing that would control the order-of every name and number in every. groun of the whole 10,000,000— first, men in the second thousand next, last of all. fere to some extent. For this reason it was decided to have one drawing to determine the order in which the sheets of 1,000 each should appear on the master [lst,instead -of: arbitrarily assigning the sheet¥ of. 1,000 in: their ‘natural order.’ Thi8'teduces the whole matter to an‘ absolute equality of chance. Details of Drawing. “One group of numbers, from 1 to 1,000 and a second group, from naught to ten have been carefully imprinted on opaque slipsiof paper, black on one slips have been rolled up and each counted into ten glass ‘jars in groups of 100 each, tiié''glass jars have been sealed’ and “kept"in ‘a safe, awaiting the day ‘of drawing." 1 “The cottents' 6f the jars’ will be decanted into a large glass receptable, from which the capsules can be read- ily drawn. “A blindfolded man will stir the capsules in the receptacle thoroughly stirring them; during the drawing. “A blindfolded man will then draw capsules out, one at a time.

In case oft disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control. “Immediately before the drawing of the numbers from 1 to 1,000 the draw- ing of the numbers from naught to ten will take place to determine the order in which ‘the thousands shall appear on the master lists.” ALL STATE INSPECTORS TOBE FEDERAL GRADERS DECLARES ‘OR, LADD Seeks Ample Protection for Buy-| er and Seller by Bolstering Up New Law Every North Dakota state inspector under the new grain grading law, which. went into:effect July 1, will also be a federal grain inspector, if present plans of the.state grain grad- ing- department: are «successful. : Dr. E. F. Ladd, in charge of the department, and J, A, McGovern, chiet deputy inspector, have already made application. for appointment as fed- eral inspectors. There are approximately 2,200 ele- vators in North Dakota, and it is planned to~have a state inspectcr for each’ elevator. Application’ will also ‘be made to have each one of these state inspectors appointed as federal inspector. ‘i ama) Federal Grades. seb , Under this system’all ‘North Dakota grain will carry the official federa) grade when it leaves this state. “It will. make .it.possible to carry the federal inspection from the prim- ary to the terminal market,” said Dr. Ladd yesterday. “This will give ample protection to ‘both bayer andthe seller of grain.
