NEW BRITAIN, CONK. DRAFT TOMORROW, OFFICIALS DEGIDE (Continued From First Page). against the charge of fraudulent man- ipulation could not be had -in that way, every consideration of expedi- ency and justice urges one drawing in Washington. The Method for the Drawing. “In each group every registration card has a red-inked number written on its face and these numbers run in a single series from unity (1) to the \ number corresponding to the great- \est number of cards, in the group. Normally this is from unity (1) to about 3,000. “Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attached and sent to the various state capitols. Lists showing the names 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 hnd 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 wery simple thing to have a drawing that would control the or- der of every name and number in every group of the whole 10,000,000 —Just put 3,000 numbers into a bowl and draw them out one at a time. The first number drawn out place the 4,557 cards bearing that particular number at the head every list in the United States. The ‘second number drawn would put the cards bearing that number second on all the lists, and so forth. “Now, the thing cannot be done in precisely this way, because there are not precisely 3,000 numbers in every ‘group. But the same idea with a few necessary modifications is the idea on which the present drawing ls based. Drawing By Thousands. “To draw 10,000 separate numbers would take ten hours and would mul- tiply the chance of error. Moreover, if the nine-thousands, the eight-thou- sands, the seven thousands, and the six-thousands were scattered all over the master list indiscriminately the cancellation by boards having small groups would be ve tedious and would open the way to numerous er- rors. All this is easily avoided. Suppose we drew only 1,000 num- We could then provide that the drawing of the number 18 2878, 3878, 4878, 5878, 6878, 7878, 8878 and 9879. “In that way only 1,000 numbers need be drawn and by making our master list consist of one sheet for each 1,000 we could provide a master list easily applicable to lists with only 3.000 numbers, since such boards could disregard all except the first three sheets. “We should do this but for the fact that this makes it certain that men in the first thousand would be called first, .men in the second thou- sand next, and men with high serial numbers last of all. Since the assignment of numbers is also done by chance, this does not interfere very greatly with the even chance of all men, but it does inter- fere to some extent. For this reason ‘it was decided to have one drawing to determine the order within any group of 1,000 and another drawing to determine the order in which the sheets of 1,000 each should appear on the master list, instead of arbitrarily assigning the sheets of 1,000 in their natural order. This reduces the whole matter to an absolute equality of chance. 3 Details of the Drawing. “One group of numbers from 1 to 71,000 and a second group from naught to ten, have been carefully imprinted on opaque slips of paper, black on one side, counted and checked. These <lips have been rolled up and each put inaide a gelatin capsule with the black central | would | of | | eery, { hall. NEW BR!'I'AINfi DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1917. side out. To insure absolute accuracy of count the capsules containing num- bers from 1 to 1,000, have been counted into ten glass jars in groups of 100 each; the glass jars have been sealed and kept in a safe awaiting the day of drawing. “The contents of the jars will be decanted into a large glass receptacle from which the capsules can be read- ily drawn. ‘A blindfolded man will stir the capsules in the receptacle thoroughly before any are drawn, and will keep stirring them during the drawing. “A blindfolded man will then draw capsules out one at a time. As each capsule is drawn it will be hand- ed to an announcer, who will break the capsule and announce the number drawn. While he is announcing the ntimber a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second an- nouncer, who will break the capsule and read the number. The drawing will proceed in this way until all the capsules are drawn. “Three tally sheets will be kept. One keeper of a tally sheet will re- peat each number as it is announced and all three wiil wrjte it down. In case of 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 drawing of the numbers from 0 to 10 will take place to determine the order in which the (ho\usands shall appear on the master lists.” DEATH; AND FUNERALS. , Edgar Huntley Smith.

AMERICANS IN TURKEY VICTIMS OF REPRISAL Government Withdraws Special Train Arranged for Their Departure —Amcrican Schools Oven. Berlin, July 17, via London, July 19.—Dr. Achmed Emin Bey, editor of the Constantinople Daily Sabah, one of a party of Turkish journalists who are at present guests of the German government, told the Associated Press today that the Turkish government wihdrew the special train arranged for Americans who wished to depart from Turkey as-a result of a report made by the former Turkish consul general of New York on his arrival in Constantinople that the American government had refused to permit Turkish students in New York to re- trun with officials. “There is much feeling in Turkey as a result of the action of the United States, said he, ‘‘and reprisals are be- ing urged in some quarters. When the break came our government offer- ed to place at the disposal of Ameri- can citizens a special train in which they might travel in comfort on their way to Switzerland . After we learned the attitude in America toward the Furkish students the government withdrew the offer. “When the war began our govern- ment closed the English, French and Russian schools and seized their property.

The French were obliged to delay the movement owing to bad weather, but continued the heavy bombard- ment, causing the Germans such losses that they were obliged to take the Tenth Reserve division which was holding their position out of the trenches as some of its companies have been reduced to fifty men apiece. The Twenty-ninth division replaced it, supported by the Forty-eighth division composed of fresh troops brought from the Russian front. It was while Telief was proceeding that the French attacked, thoroughly surprising the enemy by appearing in their trenches while the bombardment was proceeding. In a few seconds the French battalions had surmounted the obpects separating the armies and disappeared down on the other side. Before the Germans could recover the French were within the third line German “tranches. The enemy’s dis- order was so great the French were able to gather many prisoners and dashed ever further forward than they intended and = occupied German trenches on a three hundred vyard front of what had been French posi- tions before the German attack in June. The French now hold all the obser- vations overlooking the slopes of Le- morthone and Hill 304. The whole engagement lasted only 30 minutes. The first German reaction occurred unsuccessfully 12 hours later, HAD NO AUTO LICENSE. Francis Street Man to Appear Court Tomorrow. Willlam H. Hall of 37 Francis street will be in the police court to- morrow morning for operating a mo- tor vehicle without having his driv- er's license with him. According to his report to the po- lice he was driving his machine south on Elm street when a man on a bicy- cle ran into him head on and smashed his lights and radiator. Riche Bvenute of 117 Tremont street, the man on the bicycle, informed the po- lice that he was looking at another automobile and did not see Hall's car. His knee was hurt in the accident and Dr. Joseph Walsh attended him. Hall is said to have blown his horn and stopped his car hefore the man hit him and probably would not have been called into court if he had been carrying his license. in STRIKERS ARE WAVERING. Few More Return to Work Today, ‘While Others Hesitate. The strike situation at the Skinner Chuck company remains practically unchanged today with the exception that a few more men returned to work this afternoon and the company issued a statement which said that all men who return: to work on Monday next will have their individual cases investigated and parate considera- tions will be made if facts warrant. ‘The company still declines, however, 1o accept any offer which will bind them to give to every striker the in- creases he asks. Men who are on strike stated this afternoon that they had been advised that Conrad Schwarm, credited with being the leader of the strike, is to be discharged if he returns to the plant. Secretary Paul K. Rogers stated, however, that as far as he knew no such statement had been sent out from the company. SUES “NEW HAVEN"” ROAD.

FIGURES OF MILITARY DRAFT Common CGouncil Forwards Offi- cial Objection to Washington Action endorsing the letter test forwarded to state and authorities concerning population figures for the selective draft by Mayor George A. Quigley within the past few days, was passed at the meeting of the common council last evening. Alderman Angelo M. Pao- nessa -and Councilman George M. Landers, democratic members from the sixth ward, are the sponsors for the following resolution: To His Honor, the M r, and the Common Council of the City of New Britain: The undersigned beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following: That the unanimously made by to state against of pro- federal common endorse the mayor council the protest of the city and federal authorities the manifestly unfair quota essential to New Britain in the selective draft, ane, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the governor. and United States senators and congressmen. GEORGE M. LANDERS, A. M. PAONESSA. Tt was with amazement that the local officials and townspeople read of the figures as given out by the ‘Washington authorities, recently, al- leging this city to have a population of over 75,000. Councilman Landers has shown in- terest in the draft situation and he was surprised to find such an exces- sive allotment for the draft put on this city. The United States senators from this state are aware of the in- justice being done the city, and in a recent talk on the floor of the senate, Senator Brandegee cited New Britain as an example of the treat- ment which Connecticut was being ac- corded. At the conclusion of the reading of the above resolution last evening, Ald- erman Curtis inquired as to what ef- fect it would have in Washington. To this Councilman Landers replied that the resolution would be spread on the Congressional Record and would show the feelings of the res- idents of this city in regard to the injustice being done them and would also have its effect in case of a sec- ond draft.

NEWINGTON HOUSE DESTROYED. The home of William Bishop of Newington was burned ta the ground vesterday afternoon, when a blaze originated, it is believed, from a defec tive chimney. The owner, who is em- ployed by Hart & Cooley Mfg. Co., was notified, but little could be done toward saving the structure owing to lack of water facilities. The con- tents of the house were saved. The fire is the second that has occurred at the Home Gardens in Newington within a week, HIGGINS SUEFD FOR $1,800. Lomas & Nettleton of New Haven have brought suit against John J.

Washington, July 19.—Associate Judge Brandeis today granted Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, now serving sentences in federal pen- itentiaries for conspiring to impede the working of the army draft law, permission to appeal their cases to the supreme court from the district court in New York. He also granted per- mission to Morris Becker and Louis Kramer ,convicted on similar charges. These are the first cases involving the draft law to reach the supreme court. TED. Anarchists, OREIGNERS. Chicago, July 19.—That many men, principally foreign born have been swindled by persons claiming to be lawyers, who offered to obtain for them exemption from the draft was the charze made today by a repre- sentative of the Immigrant's Protec- tive league of which Federal Judge Julian W.

SUMMER DRESSES For Ladies and Misses $5.00 to $22.50 PRESIDENT PARDONS IMPRISONED PICKETS (Continued From First Page). placed one white prisoner between each of the Suffragists, so they were more or less incommunicado. Work in Workhou Their morning meal was fried hom- iny, with gravy, wheat bread, black- berry jam, coffee, sugar and cream. After breakfast it was announced to the Suffragists that the rain pre- vented work in the farm's blackberry patch, where the berries are ripe and luscious, and that the Suffs were to get busy in the sewing room. “But suppose,” protested Miss Anne Martin, who led the fight in the Po- lice Court, “we don't know how to sew 2" That,” said “is something you.” So they all marched off to the sew- ing room where four of the more ex- pert picked out machines and the other twelve went to work with needles and thread on a great pile of material that is to become over- alls, . trousers, skirts, underwear and bed clothes for their fellow prisoners. | By noon the Suffs were ready to | eat again. This time they had beef and cabbage, buttered beets, string beans, corn bread and water. * Again they were taken to the work- room and did some more sewing. A 5 o'clock they had a respite, and at 6 another meal was ‘served of beef stew, tea and bread. Despite the hardships the sixteen have undergone, there is not one of them willing that her fine should be paid and she be released. In fact, it | was only after the greatest sore of persuasion that the Suffs agreed to have their cases appealed. Suffs Place Blame. They are bitter in their denuncia- tion of the police authorities, but charge that orders came from sources much higher up in Administration circles. Mrs. Gilson Gardner, one of the six- teen has no children, but her hushand is much concerned about her, fearing she will not be able to stand the pris- on farc. “My position in regard to my wife,” said Mr. Gardner. “is that I shall not insist on paying her fine.

I shall not try to change her. “I was at Warden Whittaker, we,_ will soon teach the prison today. found her and all the rest of women suffering from the indignitic heaped upon them. The Suffragi were put in the same dormitory negroes last night. They were not | allowed to have their toilet articles. They will be given nothing thdt they cannot carry on their persons. They have to wear old clothes used by prisoners but cleaned and made sani- tary. A man would not recognize his wife in them. “It looks as if the Government is afraid it will serve the women in some way. The prisoners will be pei- mitted to write only two lett a month. They cannot see their friends —nobody but relatives. The food is not attractive to them. What is good for a drunken nesgro is not good for a | refined woman.
