from the Courthouse. The number of
enrollments was heavy andl the same
was true of the state at large, for
Adjutant-General 'White received many
calls from out-of-town places for addi
tional supplies.
' FVom Bend came the eall for more
blue registration cards. It was, of
course. Impossible to send them In
time to do any good, so General White
authorized the Bend registrars to Issue
receipts that will he redeemed in cards
at a later date.
' Telephone calls from many parts of
the state Indicate that registration was
heavy everywhere. Cards and certifl
cates were exhausted In many plaoes
and It is difficult to say when the state
returns will be completed.
Because of the fact that some of the
towns where registration was made are
00 miles from the railroads, complete
tabulation of the returns Is likely to
require some time. However, It Is ex
pected that by today a fairly acourate
Idea of the total registration In this
state will he had.
Race of Applicant Pussies.
A call from the County Cleric of
Josephine County over the telephone
tumped Adjutant-General "White tem
porarily yesterday. The questioner
wanted to know how to list the race
of a man bom of an Indian mother and
a negro father. The ruling was that
the is an African.
United States Attorney Reames, con
stantly in touch with all parts of the
state, said that reports were void of
any complaint, and that the registra
tions proceeded quietly and with real
enthusiasm. The only difficulty expe
rienced by registrars was that, in some
Instances, they ran out of registration
cards, said Mr. Reames.
Several calls to investigate alleged
Instances of invasion and plot were
received by William R. Bryon. agent
of the Department of Justioe, from
Portland precincts. In each instance
the investigators found the rumors
baseless. A telephone message that
certificates of registration aere being
ptolen in a certain precinct shared a
like fate. A checking up of the sup
plies refuted the rumor absolutely.
Exemption Usually Waived.
There were numerous exemptions
Claimed yesterday by men register
ing, but in the great majority of cases
exemption was waived. It was ex
plained that this feature would be
"had a man seek exemption on the
ground that he has S0O invested in
business.
Numerous others claimed exemption
from military duty on the ground that
they are of suoh strong religious con
evictions as to make It Impossible for
them to participate In war. Some pro
cessed to be of the Quaker religion.
ivnicn nas as one or its tenets a pro
.nounced opposition to war.
: In North Portland there was an in
Iterestlng mixture of the races in the
crowds, that lined up to register. Mexi
cans, Japanese, Chinese, Spaniards,
'Italians, Filipinos, Austrians, Germans
and negroes were registered hum ft
'V. Ratcllffe, registrar at precinct 29,
on Sixth street, near Davis, had two
'Interpreters to aid him In carrying on
the work.
ZOO Register at Conrthonse.
'.SMore than 200 were registered at
;7reclnct 56, at the Courthouse, where
Iartin Pratt was In charge all day.
Temporary residents In the city and
the floating population subject to the
'ilraft measure came there for instruc
tions, and there were Bulgarians, Ger-
Inans, Russians and members of other
.aaces who registered. However, none
.refused to answer all questions fully
'and there was no disorder at any time.
In North Portland an Austrian
claimed exemption for the reason that
Die did not want to fight against a
brother in the Austrian army. An odd
;ilea for exemption was made by two
nen who claimed to hold dishonorable
discharges from the United -States
,.rmy and for this reason they be
Jleved t hearselves undesirables to re-
enter the Army.
City boards, appointed by Mayor Al-
ee, did splendid work yesterday in
;?ielplng along the work of registration
tind in keeping a watchful eye on the
, Vroceedlngs. Besides, agents of the
department of Justice visited the va
rious polling places yesterday to guard
.Against trouble of any sort, and in this
hey were entirely successful. Out
ride of the city Sheriff Hurlburt
checked the various registration places.

BRADY'S WILL ATTACKED
Brother and Sister Object to Dispo
sition of Millions.
NEW YORK, May 80 "Diamond
Jim" Brady's love of sparkling gems,
his gastronomic feats and his first
nights at theaters are to be used as
hammers In the Surrogate's Court to
break his will disposing of 85,000,000
Daniel M. Brady, a brother, and Mrs.
Harriet Mathleu, a sister, have decided
to contest the will. Mental lncom
petence and undue influence will ba
alleged.
Brady divided his jewels, valued at
$1.000,00u. among many friends. Girl
acquaintances received gifts of 125
000 and costly jewels. He set aside
$300,000 for the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital and about 18,000,000 for the New
York Hospital- His brother was be
queathed only $100. His sister was
allowed the Income from $25,000.
Many Instances of Brady's eccentric!
ties will be raked out of the past to
adorn the court records. One of them
will be his habit of each month direct
lng his valet minutely concerning the
jewels he intended to wear that month.
The eighth of the month was general
ly "black pearl day." the tenth
"emerald day."
A bit of poetry, ascribed to Brady
and recited by him at a dinner, will
probably figure in the trial. Entitled
"Only One Broadway," it ran:
