jurors, as contained in their special
findinga "That If mistakes are made
they are not mistakes of the heart."
Caart Worthy of Confidence.
"We find that the court procedure In
all Juvenile cases cannot be termed
secret but Is admirably adapted to
shield as much as possible from no
toriety, the name of the Juvenile delin
quent, while at the same time it gives
every opportunity to tbe accused to
present all facts and circumstances in
his favor: that it is not the policy of
the Juvenile Court either to exclude
attorneya or to conceal the records of
cases from the parent, guardian or the
legal representative of the accused.
"We find that ths charges brought
by Messra Ditchburn and Dormitzer
resulted either from an Insufficient In
vestigation of the methods and manner
of procedure of the Juvenile Court, or
from a willful desire to call Into ques
tion the reputation of a conscientious
official and to create dissatisfaction
and distrust toward the Juvenile Court

"Before I signed that petition I
called Mr. Hitchburn's attention to the

charges were not right, but he told me
to sign the petition, as it was only a
matter of course."

denied to tbe grand Jury tbat she had
ever made such a statement to Attor
neys Ditchburn or Dormitzer. She said
that Judge Tazwell had ordered her to
keep quiet during a hearing and
threatened to exclude her from the
courtroom if she did not remain silent.
"I think myself that sometimes I
talk a good deal," Mra Smith told the

"Please direct local boards to delay
physical examinations of men in class I
nntil necelpt of new pnysicat regula
tions, which are in the mails, to you
under the caption. 'Changes in Selective
Service Regulation'
"(Signed CROWDER."
This telegraphic order received yes
terday from Washington by Captain J.
E. Cullison. head of the draft organ
ization In Oregon, excites a bis roar
of protest from examination board
which have iieen-working at high pres
sure in an effort to complete the test
ing of all class I men by February IS.
as renuired by the selective service
act. The "stop" order even raffled the
Captain's sccustomed equanimity.
Ks Comment ea Order.
"I sent tbe order out at once in tele
grams to the local boards of the state.
he said, "unaccompanied by comment.
for I want the board members to know
where to place the blame for the delay.
If the new rulings went into the mails
at Washington today It will be from
five to seven days before they reach
ma Then, If so lengthy I have to relay
them on by mail, at least Jour to five
days more will be lost.
The draft executive was shown an
Item from an Eastern paper in which
a dispatch sent out from Washington
under date of January 26 stated that
"Radical revision of the regulations
governing physical examination of men
summoned before draft boards for serv
ice has been made by Surgeon-General
Gorras."
"We certainly are at a great disad
vantage way out here." he commented.
Some examining boards of the state'
have already reported to Captain Culli
son that tbey have already completed
physical examinations of sll Class I
men of their division. How any
changed regulations may be mad to
apply to men in those divisions is one
problem that remains unsolved.
Extension t Time Neeeaeary.
On th other hand, many boards,
even though but two or three days' de
lay may be experienced, will be unable
to pass upon their Class I registrants
before the time limit expires. An ex
tension beyond February 15. or tacit
disregard of the limit, offers ths only
solution for such divisions.
Captain Cullison declared he has not
th slightest intimation as to what
changes In examinations or physical
requirements will be brought about I
through the revisions announced.
From other sources, including the I
Washington dispatch of January IS. It
is gleaned that the lid Is being damped
down with a vengeance on disqualifica
tion of men alleged as unfit for any
sort of service. .
"Under th new system," states the
dispatch, "practically the only persons
exempted on physical grounds by local
boards will be imbeciles and victims of
major allmenta Even men with miss
ing fingers and toes, originally re
jected, will be accepted in the second
draft-
Other forseasts of what the revised
regulations will be stated: "These for
bid the local boards to exempt any man
as unfit unless he is hopelessly dis
qualified. Thousands disqualified in
tbe first draft had comparatively slight
defects, such as enlarged tonsils, skin
diseases, and flat-foot, and these, it is
said, will be accepted in the second
draft. They will be passed on to dis
trict medical boards, which will reject
only those who cannot be used for
military purposes. Those accepted will
be sent to cantonments where they will
have expert treatment for the cure of
the disabilities."
The orders sent out by Captain Culli
son from the Adjutant-General's office
yesterday stopping physical examina
tions did not reach Multnomah County
boards, their copies being sent through
the mails. As . a result the 11 local
boards proceeded with the tests in
ignorance of orders to the contrary.
Examinations Are Halted.
OL.TMPIA. Wash., Feb. 2. Complying
with instructions received today from
Provost Marshal -General Crowd er. Gov
ernor Lister ordered all Washington
local boards to make no more physical
examinations of Class I registered met
until new regulations are received from
Washington.
