JASPER’S QUOTA PLACED AT 56

< 9 4 ACCORDING TO STATE CONSCRIPTION AGENT—WHITE 21 OVER LIMIT.

According to State Conscription Agent Jesse Eschbach, the quota that Jasper county will be called upon to give for the first draft is 56. The number would have been larger, but for the fact that we have a militia company in this county, the bulk of the membership of which come from this county. Therefore, of the entire apportionment assigned to this county we are given credit with the number of men coming from this county, belonging to the militia company- . One district of the state, White county, will not be called upon to supply men for the army draft. That became known Saturday night after Eschbach had completed the task of assigning the net quotas for each district of the state after deducting credits awarded by the war department to each locality for enlistment in the army and the national guard. Instead of being called on to supply me nfor the draft, White county is credited with an excess of twentyone men, and that number will be distributed among the other districts of the state. White county’s gross quota figured on the basis of estimated population was 159, and it would have been called on to supply that many men for the draft had it not sent men into the regular army or the national guard. It did send 180 men to the colors, however, and therefore it js credited with an excess of twenty-one, and the conscription boards can close up their establishments for the present. The total net quota for Indiana, after deducting the credits for each district, is 17,510, and this state will be called on to supply that number: The total will be distributed over the state with the counties and some cities as the units, and the number to be obtained from each sub-division, either city or county as the case may be, will be distributed among the local conscription boards.

But One Rejected Out of 16 Receiving Examination.

Captain McClellan, of the third ambulance company, was here Saturday to examine sixteen of the new recruits of Company M. But one of the sixteen failed to pass the test, which is a wonderful record, considering the rigid examination all new men are required to undergo. The one who failed to reach the requirements was Oscar Rogers, of Monon. Those who passed the test and are now members of the company are: Rucard C. Hartsock and Curtem Hartsock, of Goodland; Louis J. DeMoss, Wm. H. Grayson, Edward Murphy, John Robinson and Leo Blanchett, of Morocco; John Peterson and Harry Hayes, of Rensselaer; Lawrence Alexander and Edgar Donaldson, of Mt. Ayr; Ray D. Nairn, Lewis W. Smith and Harry Robinson, of Monon. .... Three more new recruits have applied for enlistment, William W. Little, of this city; Vern Rogers, of Monon, and Harry O, Albertson, of Morocco. Presiding there three pass, the total strength of the company will be 123, or twenty-seven short of the required number. Lieutenant Watson and Sergeant Nowels have been meeting with wonderful success in the way of securing new recruits and are determined that before August sth arrives they will have a full company. The recruiting officers desire to state that any may continue to volunteer their services and become members of Company M, despite the fact that they have been drafted. Those who are due for an early call should join the local company before having to go some place wherever the government sees fit to place them. Sergeant Nbwels has secured the names of the first 112 men drawn in the county, the number that will be called for examination for the first draft, and with Lieutenant Watson will make a man to man canvass among them, in hopes of retaining them for the local company. Half of the first 112 men in the county are practically certain of being called to make up the first war army. Those among the first 112 who have no cause for exemption should grasp the opportunity of being allowed to join the local company and should be prepared to talk business when the recruiting officers visit them. Major Healey is extremely desirous of having the local unit made up of young mgn from this vicinity and urges all who have not joined to do so at once. It is much better to be a “went” than a “sent”, says the major.

Foresters Tamed In Ten Round Battle Sunday.

* In a ten round battle, replete with sensational play, the Rensselaer Foresters succumbed to defeat at League Park at Lafayette Sunday, at. the hands of the Foresters of that eity.

The winning run was scored in the tenth in the following mannei;: Deardorff pinch hitting for Robinson, went to first on Blue’s error. Williams skyed. Deardorff advanced to third on the hit and run with Tengen. Ricks scored him with a slow bounder down the third base line. Lafayette had an umplets with the now de plume of Strange. The locals thought some of his actions Strange, especially in the ninth stanzo wheji he called Jimmy Eldridge out at the plate, when he was apparently safe by two feet.

ROBBED AT R. R. STATION

LOREN SAGE MEETS BIG LOSS WHEN HIS THREE SUIT CASES ARE STOLEN.

“Saturday night after mrking the transfer from the LaSall * to the Dearborn street station in Chicago, Loren Sage, whose home is in this city, but who is a traveling man, had his three grips stolen. Mr. Sage had i’ust come into the Monon station, ad handed the porter a dime for assisting him in carrying his baggage into the station. Sage turned to get a ticket, leaving his grips where the porter had placed them, a short distance away. It was a -few minutes until his train was due and he walked about the station. In a very short time he returned to where he had left his baggage but it was gone. On account of the very hot weather Mr. Sage had placed his large pocketbook, which contained over s3o(>,inone of the grips. He immediately informed the station police and a search was began at once. A lady who was close saw Mr. Sage and the porter come into the station with grips and saw Mr. Sage leave them. She said that Mr. Sage had just turned away when a man took the three grips and hurried out to the train shed. A Wabash train was leaving at this time. Word was sent to the conducotr of this train* but no report of finding the baggage was’ reported. The police of Chicago were notified at once but so far no clue of the robber has been found. Besides the money, Mr. Sage had his clothes and his samples and his entire loss will be near SSOO. The act was undoubtedly committed by a professional and there is little hope of the lost property being recovered. Mr. Sage has the address of the lady who saw the man take the baggage and she is quite sure shecould identify the robber. She noticed the man take the grips, but thought that possibly he was a friend of Mr. Sage who was carrying them to the train for him.'

Army Berths Still Open to Draftees; Can’t Join Marines.

Those selected for service under the draft will be permitted to enlist in the regular army, or national guard at any time prior to their call for examination before exemption boards, ten days hence, Provost Marshal General Crowder announced tonight. They will not be allowed, however, to join the marine corps. The first men actually drafted probably will be detailed to the regular army in order to bring that branch up to its full war strength of 300,000 if the 35,000 enlistments needed are not obtained before examinations begin. The rest will be put into the national guard. Machinery for virtually the whole country is complete.
