RESOLUTION OF OEN.
HARDWICK SCORED
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 24.—
Denouncing introduction of such a
proposition, the senate military com
mittee today reported adversely Sen
ator Hardwick’s resolution which
would provide that the consent of ev
ery drafted man must be obtained be
fore he is required to perform foreign
service.
rne committee, me report says, ne
lieves the draft law is constitutional
and that every man drafted into the
national army can be used abroad.
The situation arising out of this spir
it of opposition to the selective draft
act is serious, says the report, "and
taken in connection with the unrest
amongst the civilian population
growiig out of commercial and in
dustrial conditions, stimulated in
cases doubtless by pro-German sym
pathizers and propagandists, places
our country In a situation of extreme
peril at a time when all should be
united in a common cause.
“ It is the view of the committee
that the selective draft act it neith
er violative of American tradition nor
of the constitution and entertaining
this view the committee feels justi
fied in saying that there is no neces
sity for such legislation as that pro
posed, either on the ground of ex
pediency or necessity.
"The psychological effect of calling
in question the act, the principles of
which, it seems to the committee,
have been sustained by the courts of
the country, is bad and the tendency
of it all is to impair the military ef
ficiency of the men who are already
in the service and of those who may
yet be called to serve in this time of
need.”
FORCED TRAMP TO
EAT POISONED BEANS
Geo. E. Montgomery contributes
the following, and claims that it is
vouched for by two reliable persons
from that section who visited recent
ly in his neighborhood:
On a certain day in August, 1917,
a farmer near Bethany, Harrison Co.,
Missouri, was threshing his grain.
During the day a tramp stopped at
the house, and asked his wife for
some food. She kindly told the tramp
that she had nothing prepared to give
him, but that if he would wait until
meal time, he might eat with the
threshing hands at the table. The
tramp said he would wait. The wife
was cooking a kettle of beans, and
while she was absent from the kitch
en a few moments, the tramp sprink
led a powdery substance, looking like
salt, in the beans. Unknown to him,
the little daughter of the house saw
him do so. When she saw her mother
take salt to salt the beans, she said:
"Mamma, you needn’t salt the beans,
that man salted them.”
The woman was of course alarmed
and quietly told her husband what
had occurred. He told all the thresh
ing hands about the beans, and that
they must remember not to eat any.
All were seated at the well loaded
table, tramp included, the farmer hav
ing placed a loaded gun near his
chear. The beans were passed to the
tramp, but he declined to eat any,
saying he didn’t care for beans. Short
ly afterward, some one passed the
beans to Mr. Tramp again, and when
he declined the farmer arose, aimed
the loaded gun ot Mr. Tramp's head,
told him he must eat some of the
beans, or be shot dead. The tramp,
between two very hot fires, at the
beans, and was dead in three min
utes. How lucky that the little
daughter saw him “salt” the beans!
NKW THKATKK TO IlK
CONSTRIfTKI* AT ONC'K
Workmen under charge of Contrac
tor Charles Crawford will start con
struction soon upon the large new
magnificent theatre of Capt. Austin
Cathrop, the moving picture magnate,
who has fine show houses at Anchor
age, Seward and Cordova. The build
ing will be 24x100 feet in size, steam
heated and with 250 opera chairs of
the latest type. The new building will
be an improvement over the one re
cently destroyed by fire, embracing
all the most up-to-dute features, and
having one of the best curtains that
money can buy. The pitch to the floor
will also be increased slightly over
that of the old theatre. Contractor
Crawford will rush construction so
as to have the building ready for
business before cold weather sets in.
Two cites are in view, one on the A1
White lots near the Pinzon, and the
other on the George C. Treat lot at
the corner of McKinley street and Al
aska avenue. In case the latter site is
selected the building will be much
larger than the A1 White site with an
improved store building adjoining the
theatre.
