JOHN SHEAD ESCAPES Murderer of Constable Queen Dis- appears From the Penitentiary.” Jefferson City, Mo., Det. 20.—John Shead, a life-termer at the Peniten- tiary, who murdered a Sheriff in Bates County, and James Kinsella, of Greene County, who is serving a sen- tence of four years for grand larceny, are missing tonight from the prison. Kinsella was a trusty and was help- ing move the desks from the old to the new Capitol. He stole a guard's over coat and disappeared. It is not known how Shead made his escape. On the night of Nevember 23, 19!4,/ as Constable Sam Queen was bring- ing a prisoner, afterwards known as Dale Jones, whom he had arrested at} Hume, for several shady transactions, to the Bates County jail, an accom- plice of Jones boarded the train at Rich Hill and-shot Queen and es- caped with ‘the prisoner. Queen only lived a few days. Shead, the man who did the shooting, was after- wards captitred and convicted of the murder of Queen and sentenced to ‘Address me at Butler, Mo., 0 Col.C, E.

HIGHLY ANTI HOG CHOLERA 3 SERUM POTENT NEW DRAFT RULES MADE i Five Classes. = Washington, Oct. 20—A sweeping change in the machinery of the se- > million remaining registrants 3° five classes in order of their eligibil- ity for military service, was an-| nounced today by Provost Marshal General Crowder. - Details of the plan, which has been approved by President’ Wilson, are not disclosed. It is calculated, how- ever, to do away with virtually all the complicated machintry «of the first draft and to make the ‘opera- tions of the local boards hereafter lit- tle more than rubber stamp proceed- ings. - The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered to which class he belongs and in what order the different classifications will be called to service: Class x. 1. Single men without relatives. 2. Married ‘men (or widower with children) who habitually fails to sup- port his iamily. 3. Married men dependent on wife | for support. 4.

Men not included in any other | description in this or other classes. | Class 2. arried man or father of moth idren, usefully engaged, but fficient income apurt from his daily labor to afford reason- | able adequate support during his ab- sence. 2. Married man can support herself dependent no children—wiic decently and | without hardship. | 3. Skilled farm laborer engaged in| ne ary industrial enterprise. | 4. led industrial laborer en-} gaged in necessary agricultural en-| terprise. \ ‘ Class 3. | 1.

The questions to be an-| swered by the registered men have been worked out with infinite care from the vast fund of information gleaned from the first use of the draft. machinery. Included in the plans of the gov- ernment, it is understood, is a pro- vision which will place the services of a trained attorney at the disposal | of every registrant to assist him in making his answers. Presumably all the machinery of affidavits to sup- port claims ‘for exemption also has heen absorbed into this document, in getting his situation properly be-} fore the board for consideration far less arduous. This new plan, General points out, settles the vexing ques- tion of continuing the physical exam-| ination of registrants until all have | been classified in this way. Presum- ably it will be necessary to examine men under the new plan only when} called upon, or, if greater speed can} be secured in that way, to examine | Crowder and physically all members | of the class that is under call. \ int not made clear in General’ der’s statement is how the ro- tation numbers of the d ing ix the order of military Hability are to be applied. Since no sbandonment of that means o xing the place of cach individual in any class is an- ninced, it certain that the to scems class will govern the order in which they come up, In tt each | lass group would have its own order of liability list, based on the master list. The eff would be to elimi- nate in classes men who would have been certain to have been exempted at least temporarily had they bee called up and examined individually. t case Virginia. Dr. C. A.

This assurance is taken to indicate that the second call is not to be expected before the first of the year, although no authoritative state- ment on this point was available to- night.
