MENTION OF MOTHER TURNS SLACKER INTO NAVAL RECRUIT United States Attorney Reames, by Perseverance, Wins Over Organizer and Youth Writes to Parent for First Time in Several Years. IT REQUIRED a mention of mother and" the forgotten home yesterday to enable United States Attorney Realties to peer beneath the hardened exterior, to gain the confidence, ascer tain the real qualities and effect a complete transformation of' .well, why disclose his name? Tor the pur pose of this narrative, let him be known as Brown. Yesterday he was an organiser for the 1. W. W., who fostered strikes and Industrial disorder, encouraged disre gard for constituted authority and de nounced the Government and its insti tutions. Today he is doing his. bit for his country as an enlisted man in the United States Navy and is enthusias tically committed to the defense of a world democracy. This remarkable met amorphosis actually took place In less han two hours. Brown, aged 24 and a splendid speci men of physical manhood, was picked tip yesterday in company with an older fend more toughened member of the I. W. W. by deputies from the United States Marshal's office. They were both slackers and were taken before the United States Attorney for Inves tigation. Mr. Reames sought to ascer tain their true names, ages and places of residence, together with the reason neither had registered for military service. But the two men defiantly refused to answer any of the Interrogations, even Informing the Government prosecutor that the infor mation sought was none of his busi ness. Older Man Sentiment-Proof. Abandoning the more formal ques tion!", Mr. Reames asked each if he had I SELF DEFENSE PEFEAT BACKACHE ARD KIDNEY L TROUBLE WITH ANURIC.

Here the District Attorney decided further questioning of the older man was useless, but he was satisfied he could gain the confidence of the young er man, to whom he then directed his questions. "Did your mother ever do anything that caused you grief or worry?" he askd. "No." "Well, how would yon like to have her pick up the paper in the morning and read that you had been arrested as a stacker a coward and thrown into Jaiir With this the boy wilted. "I would not have her know It for anything. I would do anything rather tnan have her find it out." was the an swer, "for I am not a coward." well, then, perhaps we can have a heart-to-heart talk," assured Mr. Reames. "How would you like to be given an opportunity to register now and enter the Army or the Navy?" I. tV. W. Influence Baneful. Before expressing: a preference for the Navy, Brown unbosomed himself. He told of having: left his home several years ago. Finally he drifted Into bad associations, became affiliated with the I. W. W. and, possessing some ability as a talker. Was made an organizer. He told of registering at Tucson, Ariz., June B under an assumed name deliber ately to evade military service under the draft. Tempted many times by his Worried conscience to confess his fraud ulent registration. Brown said he yield ed to the influence of Ms I. W. W. companions and kept postponing the confession he feit he Bhould make. Placed on his honor. Brown was told by Mr. Reames to go to the County Clerk's office and register and then to the rxavy recruiting station for exam lnation and enlistment. An officer was not sent along with him. Two hours later Brown returned to Mr. Reames' office, having Dassed the nhvslcal test and qualified for enlistment for Navy duty. Taking his I. W. W. membership card from his pocket. Brown tore it into bits and scattered them on the floor. His next act was to send a telegram to his mother informing- her of his enlist ment. It cost $1.25 to-send the. mes sage and that was every cent Brown had. Obtaining stationery from Mr. Reames. he next wrote a long letter to his mother, the first he had written in several years. Brown left last night for a Pacific Coast Navy station to report for duty. His more hardened slacker acquaint ance was sent to jail to await trial, when he will gain first-hand experi ence of what it means to defy law openly In this .country in time of war. "Brown will make good, and you can bet on It," commented Mr. Reames. "for he is made of the right kind of stuff. I do not know of anything I have done as United States Attorney that gave me as much real pleasure and satisfaction as I derived from the small part I had in the conversion Of Brown from a detractor to a defender of his country."

In 1887 he locat ed In Eastern Oregon, where he became the owner of an 1800 acre wheat farm. . .K LLft duct of the police department and par ticularly about Chief Martin. Charges Were made, and denied as vigorously, that the chief had instructed his men to protect certain place and to go slowly In making arrests for violation of the dry law. The Bulman affair figured largely In the campaign, charges being made that A. D. Bulman, anti-Catholic lecturer, had not been given proper protection during his Stay here, and that the lack of this protection led to the assault on him by four men last May. Just who will be the new chief is not known. Lyman Burmart has been men tioned for the place. He has been an active supporter of Powell. There was some disapproval at the time over the failure of Mayor Toner to advance Day Sergeant Frederick Roecker, a retired Army man, to the position when Martin was named. The candidacy of Roecker probably will . be advanced by his friends when the matter of a change is taken up. That several other heads will fall In the department is likely. Members of the force who are of the Catholic faith are uneasy. There Was some religious strife injected into the campaign as a result of the Bulman affair, and as several of the men are Catholics, they are expecting most anything to happen. While the fire department Is. under the control of the Mayor, Fire Chief George Guthridge, who recently was promoted owing to the resignation of William Metz, has a good following among the business men. Many peo ple feel that this department will not be changed to any extent. City Attorney James Neal, It Is ex pected, will be succeeded by someone else, as this position is under the May or's Control. Considerable criticism was made of Mayor Toner at the time he displaced Attorney John Watson and appointed Neal. The other offices are under the con trol of the Commissioners. It is' not believed there .will be more than a few changes in them, as both Commissioner of Finance A. K. Dice and Commis sioner of Streets H. H. Crampton were re-elected. Sugar Scarcity Asserted.
