FONSTON
1 A lotter from Private Glenn Mac-
beth, son of James MacBeth, 2112
$ Monroo avenue, has been received by
fl the latter, from his son, who Is at
j Camp Funston, Kans., in the Third in-
fantry. With the letter a snap-shot of
the young soldier was included show-
ing him in his winter uniform. Pri
J vate MacBeth is very well known in
$ Ogden, having been a student in the
public schools and engaged in various
j positions for several years. He writes
j that he is enjoying the service but has
I to hump to keep up the dapper appear
1 anco the army requires. Parts of the
j letter follow:
j "Dear Father: Tonight I am in
J charge of quartera, which means that
a I stay up for 36 hours straight and
1 then do duty the following day. It is
now 8 o'clock and the men are at their
studies. They study from 7:40 until
3:30 p. m., each night. Lights out at
10 p. m. Of course you will know from
the above that I am back on duty. It
seems that I have never been away. I
got back here a week ago tomorrow
after two weeks in the hospital. I was
not sick a while while in the hospital
but when I started drill again I surely
regretted my vacation.
"We have ample time to read letters
between drills and classes but it is
next to impossible to write any.

BULLETINS FROM
j ram OFFICE
I The local recruiting office has re-
I ceived a compilation of instructions
! and regulations governing recruiting

the ages of 18 and 40 years, both in
clusive. Persons who have attained
their 41st birthday are ineligible for
original enlistment. Minors between
the ages of 18 and 21 may be onllsted
without the consent of parent or guar
dian. Minors under 18 are not now
1 , eligible with or without consent of
parents. Married men may be en
listed on the same basis as single men.
"The enlistment in the army of reg
istrants (except for the limited classes
of persons who may bo enlisted for the
' enlisted reserve corps. See section
1 151, selective service regulations as
I amended.) is prohibited under the
selective service regulations pre

national guard or national army, an
enlistment Is to be made, and to Invo
the caption of tho enlistment paper

"Great care should be exercised by
all accepting and enlisting officers to
see that the enlistment papers aro
properly filled out in every particular
and signed by the executive officer.
"It is desired that this compliance
be published by commanders of terri
torial departments and tactical divi
sions to recruiting officers In their
commands, and by chiefs of staff corps
and departments to recruiting officers
at Independent stations under their
jurisdiction.
JUDGE IS II NARROW
ESCAPE FROM II
KISS
John Lcsslg, a nervous; dynamic
sort of citizen, arrested yesterday by
Officer Canfield, pleaded guilty to vio
lating tho liquor laws, in municipal
court this morning, and was given a
fine of $50 or thirty days In jail.
Losslg afforded about the only
dlveraion of. tho morning Besslon.
When his case was called, he shot out
of tho crowd in the rear of tho court
room and headed for Judge Georgo S.
Barker's bench. He was temporarily
stopped In his wild stampedo by I. N.
Fulton, court clerk, but only long
enough to plead guilty.
Ho had a message for tho court and
he was anxious to deliver It. The
message consisted largely of the facts
that ho had Imbibed too freely In Lara
mlo and lost his equilibrium; also that
ho was never before arrested and that
his roputatlon was first class.
Peculiarly, though, he imagined that it
waB necessary to ."speak hlB piece"
Into tho teeth of the court. . For an
Instant it looked like tho court, unless
ho did some quick dodging, was fated
for a kiss.
When Lessig finally became calmod
ho explained that he was en route to
Bingham to visit his brother; that he
hailed from Colorado; and had taken
numerous nips of bourbon at Laramie.
Coming from Colorado, his throat was
somewhat parched and the liquor
rushed to his head. Fifty or thirty
the court thought, would about cover
his case.

and a brother of Pasha Ram, notorious
Hindu under federal indictment at San
Francisco for alleged efforts to incite
rebellion in India, is making an effort
to got out of the city jail.
Ram has prepared a petition, stating

will promlso to travel the historic
straight and narrow path in tho future.
The petition for pardon also statos ho
owns 100 acros of farm land near Tre
monton and that he has no money to
employ help to keep it in repair.
It is known that tho officers of the
municipal court, Including police offi
cers who made the arrest, will offer
objections to Ram's potitlon. It is un
derstood that they will recommend, on
tho contrary, that tho petition be
granted. They will advise tho com
missioners that ho has been a model
prisoner and that his only offense was
drunkonness.
Ram was arrosted twice during tho
early part of January, within a period
of two days. Ho paid his first fino
and immediately went out and started
in on a fresh carousal. Ho was unable
to pay tho second fine and has been
serving his sontonco. It was appar
ent at the time of tho trial that ho was
a porlodic and was in the midst of a
long drunk. Ho fainted in the court
room during Ills trial. He is about 45
years old and industrious.
MEN ARE TAKEN OFF
PULLMAN GAR WITH
WHISKEY
Ogden police officers, headed by
Sergt. Jerry Kellihor, staged tho most
successful and easily the most spec
tacular liquor raid sinco prohibition
becamo offectlvo, by entering a Pull
man at the Union station this morning
and confiscating tho persons and cargo
of two plutocratic Salt Lake City boot
legging suspects.
Tho pair were arrested and taken to
the police station, where they wore
booked as Ed Martin, a taxi driver, and
F. W. Talley, a former Salt Lake Cly
bartender. This suit cases wero
searched and Halloy Is alleged to have

pint bottles of Sunnybrook and Hill &
Hill in tow. Thoy will be arraigned In
municipal court tomorrow morning.
It is not known how Sergt. Kolirhor
knew the Salt Lakers and their freight
age of boozo were aboard tho train.
All that is known is that ho, accom
panied by Detectives Grant Syphers,
T. H. Blackburn and Robert Cham
bers, appeared at the Union station
this morning and took charge of tho
outfit. Tho fact that thoy were rid
ing in a Pullman indicates that tho
liquor business is somewhat prosper
ous In Salt Lake City.

DRAFT OOAROS OF UTAH
GIVEN PRAISE BY
GOVERNOR
That local and district draft boards
In Utah aro uninfluenced by politics,
religious prejudice or business or fi
nancial Interests In performing their
dutlos connected with their appoint
ments in association with administra
tion of tho selective service law, Ib the
emphatic and unqualified opinion of
Governor Bamborgor. j
The view of Governor Bamberger on i
this subject Is given in a lotter sent.
yostorday to General Crowdor, United I
States provost marnhal-goneral, which I
is explanatory of tho reasons for set
ting forth tho Utah executive's con-1
elusions.
Following is tho communication In
part:
"I have your letter of February 27,
1918, inclosing a copy of a letter from
IT E. Hlldobrand, member of the dis
trict board for tho western district of
Toxas, advising you of a resolution
adopted by tho four district boards of
Toxas, roquestlng tho removal from
boards of each member who becomes a
candldato for any office.
"I am vory glad to be able to adviso
you that whllo In Utah our local
boards are composod for the most part
of county officers, many of whom no
doubt will bo candidates for renomlna
tlon and ro-eloction, thero nevor has
been a suggestion that tills fact ovor
Influenced a decision by any local or
district board either for or against a
registrant.
"I am very happy to report to you
that without a single exception each
local and district board in Utah pat
riotically performed tho duty assigned
to It with justice and impartiality. Tho
boards have tho admiration and confl
donco of tho people of tho state. That
tho work of the boards of Utah was
efficiently performed is evidenced by
tho fact that Utah was the first state
in tho Union to completo Its classi
fication, that less than half a dozen
appeals from Utah decisions wore
taken to the president of tho United
States, and that tho work of classifica
tion was dono at a remarkably low
cost"
Aid of tho shriovalty and pollco de
partments In the stato to round up and
bring In Indian evaders of military
servico is asked by Governor Bamber
ger in a circular which ho sent yes
terday to local draft boards.
It is indicated by tho governor that
there has been pernicious work done
among tho scattered bands of Indians
In Utah, with tho rosult that tho ab
origines subject to the draft are evad
ing their responsibility in this respect.
Free vaccination against smallpox of
all registrants under the draft selected
for military servico is to bo done at
home, prior to their being sent to can
tonments, according to an order Issued
yesterday by Governor Bamberger to
local boards. This move is inaugurated
in order to keep tho camps as free as
posslblo of smallpox and to protect the
men from contracting tho malady after
they reach their cantonments.

item of expense to tho Overland Trail
club in keeping it open for travel.
After sixteen days work by grader

SCHDOL BOARDS ARE
GIN ATTENTION
School boards oyer the country
came In for quite a scoring at the con
vention of tho National Educational in
stitute at Atlantic City a short time
ago, according to Information sent by
Supt Henry Johnson of the Ogden city
schools to tho local school offices. It
is contained in an account of the meet
ing of the department of superintend
ents of which he was a member and
for which ho arranged Uie program,
and .states that "school boards do not
generally understand the objectives of
a democratized education. They are
too busy with politics and with school
details that are none of their business
to pay proper attention to their real
duties as dlretcors of the common f
schools." f
Superintendent Johnson was a mem- j
bor of the commlttoo on school boards I J
which met under the chairmanship of
Fred M. Hunter, a California superin
tendent, to define a proposed course j:
for tho proper relationship of boards t
and school superintendents.
Superintendent Johnson, with quito
a number of other Utah educators, at-
tended the annual convention at At
lantic City, and then returned to Phil- '
adolphia for another conference. He , fj
is expected home either this week or
the first of next.
