PLOT ROUND-UP BEGUN
(Continued From First Page.)
operating today to stamp out agitation
against the draft, the War Department
took up another phase of the matter
dealing with the status of Americans
now in foreign countries. ,
Secretary Baker called upon Brigadier-General
Crowder, Judge-Advocate-General
and Provost-Marshal-General
of the Army, for an opinion as to the
effect of the new law upon Americans
of military age residing abroad. De
partment officials generally have pre
sumed that the privileges of citizen
ship would carry with them a duty for
military service not affected by for
eign residence, but no formal ruling
will be made until the opinion of Gen
eral Crowder has been received. The
question involves to some degree the
spclfic terms of the extradition traties
between the United States and other
countries.
Many Americans of military age now
abroad have been eager to enroll. Reg
istration cards have been furnished to
every American embassy, legation or
consulate, and diplomatic and consular
officials have been authorized to act
as registration agents.
Meantime the Department of Justice
is proceeding on the theory that the
departure from American soil of any
citizen subject to the draft is an evasion
of the law. Steps already have been
taken to prevent such departures and
attempts at this form of evasion will
be met by vigorous measures.
Depa-rtment officials also will back
up the efforts of local officials In the
various communities to put a quick end
to agitation against the draft. Arrests
made during the day throughout the
country were in accordance with in
structions sent from Washington.
Discussing reports that many young
men were -leaving the country to avoid
military service. Secretary Baker said
today he did not believe "any substan
tial number of Americans" would take
that course. He added that the law
was of such vigor that it would be
found that any evasion gained in this
way was only temporary. " "
Registration officials throughout the
country were informed today that an
swers would not be required to the
question on the registration cards as
to whether the individual claims ex
emption and on what ground. The
department has concluded that no man
should re required to claim -exemption.
There are many who do not care to
do so. and under the new ruling none
will be required' to state his position
until he is summoned for actual service
and comes up before an exemption
board. . .
General Crowder appealed to "the
press today to give prominent place
daily to an outline of the essential facts
in regard to the registration process.
The stateme.it " outlines the facts for
which publicity of the widest sort if
desired, as follows:
Who must register All male per
sons .(citizens or aliens) board between
the sixth day of June, 1886, and th
fifth day. of June, 1896, both dates in
clusive, except:
Members of any duly organized force,
military or. naval, subject to be called,
ordered, or drafted Into military . or

cluding all officers and enlisted men

serve, Officers' Reserve Corps, Enlisted
Men's . Re.erve Corps, National Guard
Corps, Coast Guard, Naval Militia, Naval
Reserve Force, Marine Corps Reserve
and National Naval Volunteers, recog
nized by the Navy Department.
When On Tuesday, June 5, 1917, be
tween 1 A. M, and 9 P. M.

' SAN FRANCISCO. May 31. Gaetano
Malpiede, Superior Court bailiff, ad
mitted In court today that "maybe"
he wrote in the name of a talesman
on a venire ' list in the murder trial
of Mrs. Rena Mooney, now In
progress here. The state's demand that
on this account all jurors be dismissed
was refused by Judge Seawell today.
Malpiede's admission came after a
grilling by Assistant District Attorney
Louis Ferrari, and after Frank Butler,
clerk of court, had been exonerated.
"Isn't this' your handwriting?" Fer
rari demanded. 1
"I couldn't say." Malpiede replied.
Ferrari switched to another tack
and presently . came back. "Look at
this," he said, pointing to the list.
"Didn't you write it?"
"Well, maybe I did," replied Malpiede.
He said-that-Daniel Kelly, the juror
wrongly summoned, had asked that he
be called for jury service if Malpiede
could arrange it.
Conrt Cleric Exonerated.
Harry L Mulcrevy, County Clerk,
said Malpiede's statement completely
cleared Clerk Butler, whom he had
suspended earlier in the day.
Mrs. Mooney's trial grew from a
bomb explosion here last July which
killed ten persons.
The list of veniremen was given to
Malpiede, it was brought out, so that
he could fill in blanks on summonses.
One other aspect into which offi
cials continued to delve was that
Kelly's name somehow got into what

An object lesson in shoe economy
Last month this store included in its great Anniversary, Sale every department in the house, except
the Shoe Department. For certain reasons it was deemed unwise at that particular time to include
Shoes. We were not ready. But now
Starting Friday morning, June 1st
We launch the greatest
SHOE SALE
. . in the history of the store. Owing to the fact that shoe prices have taken such" unprecedented leaps
upward, we placed very heavy contracts with the manufacturers at old prices. We saw it coming. Prices
today on the market are almost double those of a few months ago; and we've protected ourselves for
months to come. Now that this stock is beginning to arrive, we find it necessary to reduce materially our
present stock. We've taken every partly sold line and every line we were unable to duplicate from our
second floor department and assembled them in one great array of tempting values in
The Economy 'Basement
making a Shoe Department here of immense proportions.
During the next two Weeks, the term of this remarkable Sale of Shoes at "You Save" prices, the
Economy Shoe Section will be under the personal supervision of a noted expert in Shoe Economy. No
half-heartedness about the price cutting. It's all been left to him. Thousands of pairs at half and less.
Many shoes almost given away. Many at a third and a fourth less. His orders are to "move the
goods" and the pricing has all been done with that single object in view.. On every price You Save!
