Three More Boards Linked in Draft Bribeiy Inquiry U. S. Grand Jury Investi gates Rejection of Men Phy?k:ally Perfect 3 Held in $5,000 Bail New Exemptora In Diatrict 99 Begin Work on East Side The Federal Grand Jury yesterday began hearing testimony which, it la expected, will result in the speedy re? turn of several lndictments on charges of bribery and other violatlons of the aelectlve draft law in Manhattan. Shortly before noon, Just as the | g-rand Jury was beginning Us work.. Louis T. Cherey and Dr. S. J. Bemfeld, membera of Exemption Board No. 99, j and Kalman Gruher, their alleged : "flxer," were brought from their cells tl tha Tombs and arralgned before j United Btatei Commissioner Samuel M. | Hitchcock. A technical charge of con-, aplrlnf to defeat the Federal draft law was brought against all three. Releaaed on $5,000 Bail They were released on bail of $5,000 , eaeh to await the findir.gs of the grand jury. Commissioner Hitchcock had j held Gruher under a bail of $2,500, but, a itenogTapher, in preparing the pa-1 pen, by error made Gruher's bond read j $5,000. This mistake was called to the , attention of Iaadore E. Schlesinger, at? torney for Gruher. who shrugged his j Ehoulders and said: "Let it stand. It makes no differ? ence." Several witnesses were examined yes-1 terday by the g-rand Jury, which, ac? cording to John C, Knox and Edward M. Stanton. Assistant L'nited States | Diitrict Attorneya, will receive testi? mony for several days in the cases of the members of Board No. 99 "I think I can promise all three men speedy justice." said Mr. Knox yester? day. "The law will move as fleetly ns Mereury for them. Well see to that. In the meantime, the United States Diatrict Attomey'a office is coopernt ing with William M. Offley, superin? tendent of the local bureau of myes tigations of the Department of Jus? tice, in running down complaints of irregularlties in the operations of othrr local exemption boards. "I think that on the whole the ad? ministration of the draft has been ab solutely fair and honest in Manhat? tan," said Mr. Knox. "But we stand ready to smash into any board doing anvthing off color. Other Irregularltiea Investigated "We aro investigating carefuliy re? ports of other irregularities la New York boards. We haven't learned any? thing definite cs yet, and 30 I cannot sUte if thev are legitimate complaints or limpiy the vaporings of disgruntled persons who think they have been dis-, criminated against. "It seems to me that the thmg for tho members of other exemption boards ' to do is to communicate with this office and bring about the immediate arrest . of persons who approach them wj^th bribea. We'll do the rest. The trouble ' with manv of the letters we have re? ceived charging irregularities in the operations of other local boards, is : that they are anoiymnis. "We urge that complainta be siarn'.'d. We will keep secret the names of our informants, just as we are not making public the names of those who will testify in tho present investigation into the activities of Board No. 99." The investigation into the opera? tions of Board No. 9'' is developing ; new irregularities hourly, according to Department of Justice men. Mr. Kr.ox has received the names of three men ? all phvsieally perfect?who were ex emptad. Uoports of ten other similar cases have been received, and are BOW under investigation. Altogether, Federal officials say. they have received for*y letters telling of irregularitiea in the examination . and exemption of men for the draft army. Some of these letters refer to Board No. P9. But complaints also tell of irrag*ularities in another district on I tha lower East Side, a district in Har? lem and ona in Brooklyn. They are all being Investigated. New Board Begins Work The newly organiied Board No. 99 began work yetterday in the school at Rivington and Lewis Streets. Deputy State Attorney General Roscoe S. Conk? ling motored o\tr to the Kast Side at noon and swore in two new members of Examination Begun to Purge Army Of Cowards and Other Defectives Sifting of Mentally Dcficient Soldiers, Including Homesick and Those Who Cannot Control Fear, Begun Here by Experts?Test Will Make Force Best in the World The \-sork of turninp out n eoward less American army has bejrun. Pre llminary to the actual weedln*?-out process at the various army canton? ments throufrho.it the l'nited States. the business of sifting the mental and nervoug defectives began in New York yesterday at the 7th Regiment Armory. under the direction of Major Craeme M. Hammond, of the Medical Reserve. Corps. Out of the 4f>0 nien examined not one was rejected. Three were classified as "suspicious," but, upon re examination by Major Hammond, they were passed. If there is a eoward or a homesick ' soldier now in the New York armorles : he may last until he gets to his can- | tonment, but no Ionger. For Major Hammond and his squad of psych.atrlc experts will follow the soldiers right to Spartanburg, where, in the at mosphere of camp life, the next elimi nation process be.in*-. (imp Will Expose Cowardlce "You can't gpot a eoward l? ?n armory," said Major Hammond yester dav. "but be does show his real self when he gets into the noise and action of field training. If there are any m?n who can't control their fear at camp we'll give them a little.t.me to fjet accustomed to the life, and, if that docan't cure them, home they fa. We can't muke actual tests for cowardice but close observation will usually he , sufficient." _ , Homesickness Major Hammond re g-ards as a real and serious illness "When a soldier is homesick he loses flesh, can't eat and becomes so gener? ally dispirited that he can t execute( orders or be of any use to his com? pany We'll try to spot homesick men at the cantonments, and as a remedy ; give them a day or two of lea%*ejjnwid_l the board. They are Max Steindler, of 277 Stanton Street. and Dr. L. hpar. ier of 10H Cannon Street. Louis Birnhak, who is to be the clerk of the board, is out of the city.

They were sent home and told to awalt summons from the new board. It will take severai dav before the new board jrets the machinery of the draft in motion again. ... ?--1-' New York and Jersey Men Picked at Fort Niagara WASHINGTON, Auf?. 13.--Commis sions were awarded to the following New York and New Jersey students at the Fort Nigara, N.

Renewed reportB of German wireless atations or supply bases on the Mexican (iulf aaaat may lead to a search there by; American warships. fommunications to I the State and Navy departments contain no confirmation of the report of dis- , covered wireless stations on Lobos Isl? and and the coast of Campeche. Officials are inclined to minimlze the reports of wireless gtations, but a theory that German small craft may be operating along the coast is not taken so lightly. Campeche ia a district almost iso lated from the interior by jungle, and officials admit that agents of Germany might supply German small ships a long time without detection.

Home Biekaeaa is rarely incurable, but if a man could not control this weakness we could not keep him in the service." The order of the War Department whieh will admit no militiaman to Fed? eral service until he has passed this examination is the result of another lesson learned from the experience of tho Allies. Canada, according to Major Hammond, has had to recall several thousand men who, although they were physically Bble to stand the rigors of trench life, could not mentally or nervously endure the strain. This in convenience the l'nited States hopes to spare itself. Will Make Army World's Best "This examination will make the I'nited States Army tlie best m 'he world," said Major Hammond yester? day. "It will be an army of Fplendid bodies, sound minds and strong nerves - an army with the slightest percent ngo possible of 'drawbarks.' And if the 7th is any indication, we've al ready (rot a fine collection of soldiers." Miiior Hammond, who as an alienist was connected with the New YorK Hos? pital before the war, has a corps of ex? pert mental and nervous specialists under him in this work. The soldiers are examined for "Higma of degenera tion" and put through a question-and answer test. "Stigma of degeneration -.nrludes abnormal thyroid gland, re ceding chin, tremors of any Part ?? thf* bodv and certain defective measure-; men'ta about the head. The question and-answer test determines a man s general intelligence Major Hammond and his examiners will finish the 7th Regiment to-mor? row and proreed immediately to other armoriea in the city until New York's militiamen have all been tested.

About a week ag"> every hureau head received from the S. eretarv a DOU a - ing for a list of employes who orera ? al and who should therefore h? BXanptad. This order was complied arith, following which Mr. Daniels an? nounced to-day thnt he wouid not bsk for the exemption of a singlo man in bia department. Several of the bureau chiefs went to the Secretary and pleaded for certain men, but the Secr-tary was obdurate. Paymaster Conard, of the Washing? ton N'avy Yard, went to the appellate . exemptio"n board tc plead for the ex? emption of hia chief clerk, 3, B. Handy, who, although tv.-er.ty pounds aadar weight, hus been .irt.fted. He was la formed that the Secretary was the only person whose statiment that Handy ma* essential to the public service would have weight. Paymaster Caaard then went to the Secretary, pointing out that he had been transferrrd to the navy yard within ten days and would bo com paratively helpless without Handy's as sistance. Pay DlrettOI Bonaffon, whom Mr. Conard succeeded, otTered also to M to the exemption board in Handy's hehalf, but was in formed that it would do no good. Thi- la only one instance, the in? dignant bureau chiefs say. They us sert that the department, in the busient stage of Ita history, is being overrun by a lot of untralned so-called yoe women, while men who have the routine of the work at the'r finger tips are be? ing called as priv?ites into the National Army all through the desire, they de? clare, of the Secretary to make the sweeping statement that he did not ask for a single exemption.

China, Stationery First Three Draft Appeals Are Denied By District Board Nation's Interests Above Individual's, Says Chair? man Hughes The District Board, the court of ap? peals from the dccisions of the local boartjs in denying draft exemptions, considered three cases at its first for mal session yesterday and denied Bai three. In opening the session Chair? man Hughes made it plain that those seeking to escape service on various industrial claims will receive no sym? pathy from the District Board, unless their claims are meritorioua beyond all question. "We, the district boards, will be in trusted with the solution of one of ?he most vital problems of the war," said Mr. Hughes, after reading a list of instructions from Provost Marshal General Crowder. "Two things are to be aceomplished?to raise armies, to maintain industries. Interests of Nation Are Firat "As the war proceeds more and more men will be required for battle. It is the interest of the nation solely that must be suhserved. The Interest of the indivlriual or assoclations of indi viduals cannot be considered eyr-ept where such interests coineide with the interests of the nation. "There may be cases where questions of private loss or hardship, rather than national necessity, are prflflflBtfld. Such cases are without the power of this dis trict beartj BBd lt is orny necessary to *ak: Is this case so far within the na? tional necessity that this man should I i relieved from service and another ?ubititated in his place ?" The cases considered were those re? ported back to the board by tne ?ub cemmittee headed by Justice G. L. In praham. Two were claims for indus? trial exemption and the third wbs that of ("ir?ch Sarchen, of 1449 Boston Road, a Russian who has taken out his first but '.vho laid bfl wanted to re? turn to tight in the Russian army. The decision of the sub-committee that he must BflT**fl in the National Army waa upheld by tho board. The board hrld that the work of Frederick W. Barth, superintendent of the Hudford ("ompany, at 1700 Broad wajr, a eOBCflrn which transforms pleas? ure | || ? lobilflfl into motor trucks, now doing O/ork for the government, was ?i a natarfl thal bii plnce could be filled by another man on a few hours' notice. The third claimant was David G. llierjr^sell, a manufacturer of ther mometers and other iciantific and med? ical glass in.struments. The board de? cided there were enough other con terns making the same products and that Hiergesell's employes could casily obtain work with some of them. No? tices of the board's decisions were mailed to the men last night. Method ai Flllng Appeals "There seems to be a misapprehen s>ion on the part of the public in re jrard to the method of flllng appeals." said Mr. Hughes. "Many persons seem to think that as soon as they have been phys.ically examined they should ruah here without waiting for the ac? tion of the local boards. Others faU to file notice of appeal wlth the local boards so that they may forward us the records in the case. As a result we have the affidavits in many cases and not the certificates from the local boards." Hundreds of men stood in line ln room 323 throughout the day to file their apreals. Some brought their aged fathers, others their wives and sliters, and a few came wlth interpreteri. Many did not understand that no oral arguments are permitted before the board and that everything must be submitted in aflidavit form. One of these was Iaidor Bratapus, of 260 South First Street, Brooklyn, an Austrian who has been in this country four years, but who has not taken out his first papers. He said he had been eertified for service without having been called for an examination. The mailed notice, he said, had never reached him. Five Vacanciea on Board The five vacancies on the board have not been filled, but an effort is being made to have special legislation passed at Albany enahling Kdwin L. (.arvin, (harles K. Simms, John Dalton and Samuel H. Evins to serve. This will leave only one vacancy, that caused by the resignation of N'athan Straus on account of illness. A meeting of all the district boards in the state will be held in the rooms of the Rar Association, at 42 West Forty fourth street, at 2 o'cloek Thursday af? ternoon, to brinp about a unity of ac? tion on industrial claims and appeals. Thr- meeting was called by Mr. Hughes at the request of the provost marshal general through Adjutant General Stateabarjr. The first exemption case taken to the rnurts |a that of Robert Rebstein, who claims that he registered throtifrh a misapprehension and is over conscrip .... He obtainod nn order. return able before Juiij;e Hand, in the l'nited States District Court, at 10 o'cloek Thursday morning, directing the chair? man of Local Roard IM, at Lexington Avenue anrl N'inety-slxth Street, to show cause why Rehstein's name should not be taken ofT thr- registration list. Deputy A tt ri r r. r-v Genflral Conkling ralled attention *o the fact that the claims of such persons not cligihle to druft. bot reriatered through error or fraud. .-hou 111 he forwardfld, with proof, dlrectly tfl the adjutant general, in? stead of being taken to the courts. Physician Loses Fight To Serve on Draft Board After the passage of the draft bill I'r Mward J Bero, of 230 West 112th .umriuiirrd Ims willingness to BflfVfl flfl aa exemption board. So a friend looked around for an opening and diicoveied that Georgia Qoldinbirg, who had received an appointment to Exemption Board 114, was of draft age and therefore presumably ineliglble. The friend enlisted-tne aid of the Mayor's Committee for National De? fence, and shortly secured thfl approval of the president for the appointment of Dr. Bero in place of.Mr. Goldcnberg. Dr. Bero appeared at the headquar tera of the board, at 62 St, Mark's Plaee, and requeited Mr. Goldenberf to give up his leat, but Mr. Goldenberg refuied to allow Dr. Bero to take part in lessions of the board. Dr. Bero wrote a complaint to Aisi-tant District Attorney Conkling, asking for a de? cision as to which was entitled to serve. That the eagerness of the two men for the work had lead them into a quar? rel was surprising to Attorney Conk? ling's office. Before Mr. Conkling could reply to Dr. Bero's complaint the physieian received a telegram from Adjutant General Southbury cancelling Dr. Bero's appointment. It turned out that Dr. Bero is also nominally ineli? glble because his residenee is not in pistrict 114. Baker Lauds Men For Sacrifices in Training Camps Chosen and Instmcted Without Political Favor, He Says More Get Commissions Winnera at Varioua Campa Are Announced at Waahington WASHINGTON, Au*. 13.?SecreUry Baker issued the following statement ; commending the work of the men who have filled the officers' training camps ; and noting the patriotic motlves that [ have proropted them to make sacrifices \ in order that the nation should have J officers. "The War Department feels no imall ' prlde in the commiisioning during ' these days of thousands of young of 1 ficers who have passed through a period of training as thorough and in tensive aa it could be made by men of ] the regular forces, loyal and capable, j whose lives have been spent in prepara? tion for auch an emergeney. "Two thoughta I like to keep with me as these men come from their camps throughout the country.

"Secondly, the thoroughness of tne training received bv these men will mean that those who will be chosen under the selective service act wili be properly instructed and led so as to in? sure a maximum of effectivcness and a minimum of casualties. in undergoing whatever may be necessary to bequeath to coming generations of men what our forefathcrs secured by their sacrifice! for us."

DeneUict, *1W N.Y. ^ Taking Bookkeeping Hills on High Bwrroughs Direct-to-Ledger Posting gives this bookkeeping department a flying start for the month-end up-grade. The month-end ptak of work was proving too trteep for tht bookkeeping department of the Motor Car Equipment Company, 21 West 62nd street, New York. Posting kept falling behind and this, combfned wlth pen and-ink inaccuracy, made trial balances late and statements still later. Lon Hudson, credit manager, finally dedded that the way to get over the month-end was to get a flying start for it, and he installed Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger Posting to do this. It has worked like a charrn. Posting, now, is kept up to date?proved every day, and the balance due on all aecounts extended. The result is that trial balances are obtained in as many hours as it used to take days. Statements are made on the Burroughs, and they go out on time. The Burroughs has made posting practically automatic.
