(Continued from Page One.) tives while distributing: the anti-con scription circulars in yards on Nevada avenue, are young Irishmen who have been In America but a comparatively short time. They declared last night that they wore being made the goats for this seditious propaganda and that they were not warned of consequences when they wore enlisted for it. Mc Donnell is a member of the Pearce Connolly club, Keenan Is not. As a result of the confession. Barney Ward, who Keenan and McDonnell say summoned them to Treanor's room, has been taken into custody. Be Charged With Conspiracy. United States District Attorney Wheeler said today that the four men will be charged with a conspiracy to '• lise others to violate the new army "Keenan and McDonnell told us that they were summoned to Treanors room by Barney Ward,? said Mr. Wheeler today in making announce ment of the confessions. "They said that when they arrived at Treanor's room, they found 8 or 10 others there and there were numerous bundles of thesç u*nti-conscrlption circulars ly ing about on the floor. They told us that Treanor was passing out the bundles to the men In the room and that he gave them each a bundle and told them to destrlbute the circulars In the southern part of the city. They said they were not warned of the con sequences by Treanor or anyone else In the room. "It whs while they were engaged In the distribution that they were ar rested. Both Confront Treanor. "After the men had confessed their I art in the affair and ncuned Treanor, we confronted the latter with Keenan and McDonnell and they positively identified him as the man who gave them the circulars. Treanor told us in their presence that he had never seen either Keenan or McDonnell be fore and then both of the latter reiter ated their statements that he had giv en them the circulars. "We found what purport to be minutes of the Pearce-Oonnelly club In Treanor's room. These minutes, writ ten In pencil, purport to record action of the club up to one month ago. There is nothing in them that Indicates par ticipation by the club In an antl-con scriptlon movement or in propaganda of the kind. Find Membership Card. "Treanor at first denied that he was a member of the club, but in his ef fects, seized by government agents, we found a membership card showing that he had paid dues up to this month. "Treanor apparently is a member of the I. W. W. We found In his pos session a paper recording donations of upwards of $1 each from many Butte men for defense of Mooney, who is charged with dynamiting the prepar edness parade last year in San Fran cisco. We also found seven anti-con scription circulars under the mattress of his bed. "Treanor claimed to us that he is a "We have not dlflnitely decided just what form the prosecution of these men will take. It is probable that complaints charging a conspiracy to induce others to violate the conscrip tion law will he Issued. The cases will he presented to the grand jury which meets at Helena June 15." In announcing the confessions of Keenan and McDonnell, Mr. Wheeler laid especial emphasis upon the fact that developments of the Investigation thus far have Implicated only Indi viduals connected with the Pearce t'onnolly club. He laid particular stress upon the fact that minutes pur porting to he those of the Pearce-Con nolly club up to one month ago seized by government agents contained no mention of anti-conscription propa ganda. • It is said that the cjub met Sunday afternoon, hut members insist that no action has been taken by the organ ization with reference to either dis cussion or dissemination of anti-con scription propaganda. Neither Kee nan nor McDonnell said anything about this meeting in their confessions to the district attorney. They had no knowl edge of anti-conscription propaganda carried on by the club ns an or ganization. Nipped Trouble in Bud. The district attorney today was the recipient of congratulations on all sides for his action In asking that troops be sent to Butte to meet any emer gency that might grow out of the anti conscript Ion movement. Mr Wheeler made it plain that this was done merely as a precautionary measure and that his action did not imply a serious situation. It was to meet a possih e condition which might exist and of which the government had no knowl edge. he explained. Vigorous prosecution of slackers and those who urged against registration is indicated by the district attorney's statements today. His office has been extremely tolerant with reference to discussions of conscription and to complaints of utterances alleged to be seditious and accredited to various persona by correspondents. So long as there was no actual showing of agi tation or advice against registration little heed was given to the many anonymous letters received. But the moment a conspiracy to Induce others not to register appeared. Mr. Wheeler took prompt action to nip It In the bud and to prevent demonstrations of any sort. His advice to police officers of state and city was to arrest any person found agitating or advising against registration and it was obeyed to the letter. Just where the circulars distributed in Butte Sunday night were printed the government is not as yet prepared to say. All of the evidence goes to show that they were shipped In. pos sibly from an' ï. W. W. source in Min neapolis or perhaps from some similar source on thp coast. The government has no information tending to show participation of German propagandists, either directly or indirectly, in the local movement. AMERICA'S FIRST GREAT WAR STEP (Continued from Pag« One.) ING—Liability to a year's imprison ment; then enforced registration. Registry and the Draft. To register is not to be drafted. That is another step In the greut plan. As each man registers today he will be numbered and at a later time the num bers will be chosen for service by lot. Not until then will any man know whether he has been drawn for the first increment of 650,000 men who probably will be called to the colors for training early In September before they go to the battlefields of Northern France or the trenches of Belgium. After the men have been drafted the exemptions will come up to be decided by fair and impartial discussion. They will determine whether physical or mental defects'debar a man from serv ice or whether the dependence of oth ers on him, or the country's need of him in civil life, make it necessary to exempt him from service at the front. In the meantime, today's duty Is reg istration. The long arm of the federal law Is reaching out to seize those who seek to evade this first duty to which all have been called and those who by counsel or Influence seek to prevail upon others to shirk it Department of Justice Busy. The department of justice /or the time being has put aside all # other w'ork; the great machinery of the fed eral government has concentrated to day upon enforcement of the law. Cit izens have been called upon as indi viduals and vigilance committees to report any violations of the law; and while the machinery of the free na tional elections is being utilized to accomplish the registration the entire fabric of the civil government is being employed to Hee that it is done. Of the approximately 10.000.000 men who are registering today, the census bureau estimates that about 4.500,000 are married and about 5,500,000 are single. What They Are Doing. By estimate they are distributed through the walks of life approxi mately In tills number: Agriculture. forestry and animal husbandry, 2,864.000. Manufacturing and mechanical in dustries, 3,036,000. No occupation, 500,500. Transportation, 967,000. Trade, 1,054.000. Public service, 14 4.000. Domestic and personal service, 411, 000 . Professional service, 335,000. Clerical occupations, 874,000. Extraction of minerals, 365,000. These figures total less than 10.000, 000. The remainder are scattered through occupations not here classified which are many and varied. Days to Get Returns. Registration for Hawaii and Alaska will he arranged later. While an approximate report of the resulls of the registration will be pub lished tnmoirow, It will be several days before a complete return can be assembled. The war department has instructed precinct and county officials not to transmit any Incomplete returns to the governors of their states. It will, therefore, tie 9 o'clock tonight before the (irst precinct return In the eastern states is complete, and it will he mid night, Washington time. before the precincts are closed on the Paclllo slope. Then more time must elapse before these returns are being trans mitted to the state capitals. The gov ernors have been instructed not to transmit any partial returns of their states to Washington but to hold ail returns for a complete report. That will entail another delay. The com plete returns for any county will he available for local public knowledge, the complete returns for a state will be available for publie knowledge first at a state capital and then in Wash ington. Only Complete Returns. For reason that partial returns will lie mislesdlngand possibly do grave In justice to some patriotic community, war department officials have appealed to all newspapers to publish nothing hut complete returns for comparison with the official estimates of what the registration for given localities should he. As the day passes ail employers of labor are expected to make provision to permit men to register if their hours are such that they could not do so in any other way. The individual, how ever, Is responsible for his own regis tration no matter what his personal Inconvenience or cost. Any Interfer ence with his registration will tie pun ished by law. No man of the regis tration age may leave the United States before 9 o'clock tonight. When the registration precincts c'ose tonight officials believe practically every man will have done his duty and It will he shown that the anti-registration prop aganda which has appeared during the last few days—dangerous though It may be—Is not so widespread as may have been supposed and that It has had a comparatively insignificant effect upon the American people when compared to the magnitude of the duty It has sought to attack. It is pointed out that peace time elections are not without disorders here and there. It would not be strange if the registration of 10,000 000 men for army duty In a nation com posed of the blood of all other nations should lie accompanied by some demonstrations of disapproval. All of ficials are confident, however, that these will he sporadic and not repre sentative of any widespread character. Reports Reaching Washington Indicate There is No Dis order in Nation. (Continued from Page One.) sembled, but officials are confident it ill be negligible. Department of justice officials said that, at a low estimate? an army of 100.000 federal, state and local em ployes are enforcing the registration law throughout the country. Watching Situation. Besides the special agents, police de partments of all the cities, the Ameri proteotive league, with organiza tions In 300 cities; all postmasters and a host of other government employes watched the situation closely. In some states national guardsmen were In readiness for calling out in event of trouble. Illinois, New York and Ohio were the first states to report progress of registration which is proceeding rap- ! idly, with no disorder. Governor C'ox of Ohio reported that i less than one-tenth of one per cent would attempt to evado registration. POLICE, GUARDS AND REGULARS READY FOR ANY OUTBREAK IN N. Y. New York, June 5.—Called to their duty by whistles of factories and of ships In the harbor, New York's young men thronged to the registration places early.

NO TROUBLE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES Don vor, Colo., June 5.—Holidays or half holidays proclaimed In many soe» tlons by legal authority, coupled with meetings to stimulate patriotism, were expected today to make the enumera tion of all ellgihles an easy matter in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.

The returns from Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming will be among the last to reach the provost marshal general because of the lack of com munication facilities.
