Fon testified against father yester
fay in a conspiracy case heard before
Federal .Indie Bean. .1. N. Craia. for
mer liquor salesman of this city, was
on trial charged with shiDninar mis-
branded and disguised packages of
Jinuor into Oresron.
Steve Craig. 2 1-year-old son of the
ciefendant. testified that his father.
while operating the wholesale liquor
nouse ot Zimmerman As fa, in San
Francisco, directed the shipment of
whisky to Oregon, marked as beer, and
that the witness personally aided in
parking several beer cases with the
stronger liquor.
The arrest of Craicr. of the several
that followed the banishment of liquor
from Oregon and the resu iting. importa
tions from alifornia. caused wide con
r-rn in j ortiana at tne time, as it was
understood that the United. States Dis
trict Attorneys office was in posses
sion of the name? of a number of prom
inent business and professional men.
lawyers anions: tiiem. who received the
Illicit shipments from Crais.
Three Are ArrrNted.
Craig, his son and Fred Jlouser. a
shipping clerk, with several confessed
bootleggers, who represented the Cali
fornia industry in this city, were ar
rested and indicted for conspiracy. With
the exception of the elder Craig, all
Pleaded guilty. He elected to fight the
case.
When the state went dry, with the
provision that a limited quantity of
liquor might be shipped in for per
sonal use. .1. N. Craig purchased the
stork and business of Zimmerman &
Co.. a Portland liquor house and re
established it in San Francisco.
Testimony heard yesterday was to
the effect that Craig fractured the
Oregon dry law and the Federal
statutes in a half dozen places. He was
declared to have employed K. C. Jalm
as a solicitor in Oregon, in violation
of the state law, and to have included
in (irppnn shipments two bottles of
whisky with every 22 quarts of heer.
chipping the case as containing solely
the lis lit beverage.
Whkr I Increased.
Later, according to the testimony,
the amount of whisky in the beer cases
was increased to four quarts and, still
litter, i 'rais's cupidity is said to have
led him to order the consigning of
entire cases, marked beer and filled
with liquors. Kigliteen such cases were
fiezed at Cardiner. r.. and turned over
to tiie Federal authorities.
After being convicted and fined fori
this trick, the liquor ring evolved a
new scheme that of making plain
shipments -to preferred customers,
prominent business, men of this city,
whose, integrity would not be ques
tioned. The Federal authorities seized a num
ber of packages, consigned to this city
as "victrolas," furniture-' and "house
hold fixtures." each packed to the lid
with whisky.
In court yesterday the floor was
strewn with broken cases and the air
was pungent with the indisputable odor
of "booze."
The case against Craig, who is
charged with conspiracy by misbrand
ing, is being handled by Deputy United
states Attorney (ioldstein. Testimony

EVER since the inauguration of an

The "officer" agreed to the terms,
and when Senosky produced a suspicious-looking
bottle, he was placed
under arrest. Senosky protested and
offered some resistance, but the "de

prisoner should accompany him to the
Sheriff's office.
Captor and prisoner finally reached
the Courthouse, where the "officer"
delivered his man into the custody of
the Sheriff. He then further questioned
Senosky as to where he had his booze

having any on hand. Senosky admit

receive two cases of perfectly good
whisky from the "dry dock" during

GRADED DRAFT PLAN
PUT UP TO WILSON
New System Proposes to Take
First Only Those Men With
No Dependents.
INDUSTRIES ARE CLASSED
Proposal Worked Out Partially by
Provost Marshal General's Of
fice Is Indorsed by Many Ex
emption Board Members.
WASHINGTON. Oct." 17. A compre
hensive new plan for applying the
Army selective draft which would take
first only men without dependents and
of no particular value to war indus
tries, and establish various grades of
dependency and industrial value from
which future drafts would be made
strictly on the selective basis, has been
worked out tentatively by the Provost
Marshal-General's office and. discussed
with the President.
The plan, it was learned today, was
submitted recently to a conference of
civilians who directed exemption board
activities in a number of states and re
ceived the indorsement of most of
them, who are now discussing the plan
with their state Uoverners.
Men to Be I. luted In Table.
It is proposed to formulate in each
local draft district a table of all regis
trants, placing each in a column denot
ing his dependents and industrial value
In the whir's prosecution. For instance,
horizontal columns or classifications
would he based on dependency. Men
with no dependents would be placed in
the first class, those with dependent
oistant relatives in the second class,
those with wives in the third class,
those with a wife and one child- in the
fourth, and so on.
Similarly, the vertical columns might
represent certain industries arranged
according to their respective merit as
war necessities. Industrial classes un
der consideration in .his connection
are farmers, shipyard workews. muni
tion workers, railway and transporta
tion employes, miners, steel plant and
motor industry workmen and certain
other individual plants or industry
branches to be designated from time to
lime by the President or the War De
partment as temporarily essential. The
latter classification might include
plants making military clothing, har
ness, first-ail materials or professions,
such as chemists and other scientific
men more needed for war research
than to carry arms.
System Is Logical.
Thus the table with horizontal de
pendency classifications and vertical
industrial classifications would hold a
place for each registrant in accordance
with his dependency or industrial value
claim. In selecting men for examina
tion hoards would first take all men
physically fit. having neither depend
ents nor value in essential war indus
tries. When this class was exhausted
draft authorities would draw on the
classes having the slightest denendencv
elaims and the least value in essential
industries. Theoretically, the draft
would work down through the table to
the classes with most dependents and
highest industrial value.
No class would be exemnted. as siich.
btit the valuable men would be placed
.-o mat tney would not be called until
tiie need for soldiers beoanrt more urg
ent and all the less essential classes
were exhausted.
trading Industrie Hard.
The plan involves a determination
by the Government of what industries
are the most valuable and this is giv
ing oniciais consiaeranie difficulty.
Farmers' organizations, shipping board
officials and shipbuilders and muni
tion makers, railroad beads, coal op
erators and many others are insisting
on the prime importance of their own
employes in civil work.
it is understood the entire pro
gramme will be made known as soon
as it is completed and approved bv
President Wilson, to allay the anxiety
prevailing throughout many industries
over the next draft, which had been
planned for as early as December be
fore the new plan was proposed, but
which now may be delayed.
A committee of officers in the Provost
Marshal-fieneral's office is at work on
technicalities of the plan, which has
been outlined only in a general wav
to Secretary Baker and the President.
Skilled Men Would He Ktempl.
The proposed plan would meet Presi
dent Wilson's objection to class ex
emptions. One the other hand it is
asserted it would successfully prevent
the drawing of men into the Army who
are needed more In the industries or
in agriculture and would avoid mis
takes of Great Britain early in the
war, when coal mines and war indus
tries were depleted of skilled workers
for the sake of swelling the first ex
peditionary forces. It also will give
each man a mor or. less definite place
in the liability list and set his mind at
rest as to when he might be sum
moned for service.
The scheme contemplates immediate
examination of all men registered, but
this course depends upon an appropria
tion which cannot be obtained until
Congress convenes in December.
Advocates of the plan point out, how
ever, that it might be put into opera
tion for even a single increment of
1.000,000 men and could be extended
down the present liability lists as fast
as funds were made available.
War Department officials explain
that the programme is far from com
plete, but say that some double classi
fication system seems imperative for
future draft calls.
