Denouncing the volunteer system as neither "equitable nor democratic," eight members of the house committee on military affairs, four of whom i served in the Spanish-American war. today filed a minority report calling for the passage, without amendment, of the army general staff selective draft military bill. 1 At the earns time. Chairman Dent of the committee filed the majority report, signed by IS members, which calls for the adoption by the house of the amended bill provided by the committee, which provides for the volunteer system, but would per mit the president to adopt conscrip tion after the volunteer plan had proved a failure. president Opposes Beport. The majority report followed elose- ly the lines of the report made by the subcommittee wmcn araitea tne opposition bill. It was stated authori tatively today that under no Circum stances will the administration acoept the majority's measure, and the pres ident's lieutenants will line up solidly In support of the minority report. The fight for the latter will be led by a Republican Julius Kahn of Cali fornia. The others who signed the report were John C. McKensie, Rep., Illinois; Frank L. Greene, Rep., Ver mont! John V. TUson, Hep., Connecti cut; Richard Olney, Dem., Massachu setts; Joseph S. Crsgo, Rep., Fenn ay I van ta; W. T. Harrison, Dem., Ver ment; George R, Lunn, Dem., New York. Termer Experience Cited, In support of the contention that the volunteer system would prove a failure, the minority incorporated in the report the letter of Secretary of War Raker to the committee, an nouncing that the president and war department united in support of the measure, and giving the views of .the general staff on the subject. The committee then recalls the fact that during the , war between th states, when both north and south were compelled to abandon the vol unteer system and accept conscription. the conscription "was looked upon with contempt, and ever since , the word conscription has carried with it a meaning of reproach." England's Tailors &eeHed. "If the majority Plan were adopted at this time, and again should prove a failure, eonsoriptlon would noe again be looked on with disfavor," continues the report. "If, on the other hand, the legisla tlon that is enacted provides for se lective conscription, every cltlsen of the republic will know that those who have been selected have been called to the colors by their country as universal obligation to serve in the hour of the nation' need" Reference then is made to the fail ure of the volunteer system in Eng land. It is declared that even a cam paign of social ostracism failed to save the system. If England bad adapted conscription at the outset, in stead of waiting for two years. Its position at present ' would be much better, says the report. . 7S4.T18 volunteers Heeded. The report then continues: "Some of those who favor the. vol unteer system point with pride to the race , iuv .xvuv T""m tLiv vnusi log every day at the present time. According to a, letter from the secre tary of war to the chairman of the committee, 734,718 volunteers will he required for our regular army and the National Guard organisations. It would therefore take. 724 days, includ ing Sunday, or about two years, to get the volunteer-forces required for these two : branches alone of our ee tawisnment. - Doe - that look ' very noperuir. , , Congratulations were received by Lieutenant Commander J; H. Black burn, in charge of the navy recruiting station, this morning from Washing ton for the admirable record made dur ing the first 20 days in April in fur nishing the full quota of 800 recruits. Charles E. Blakely of Prineville was the 800th recruit Friday. A telegram received shows that first honors are shared by Baltimore and Kansas City. also, as they are credited with the same feat. In all, 810 were recruited by Friday night, Lieutenant Commander Black burn i keeping up the work with the new goal in view of obtaining 500 more recruits by May 6. The army recruiting station under Captain Huebscher, is making sus tained dally gains in recruits. Forty eight were signed up Friday. The call for colored troops is getting little re sponse, however, and men of this class are being urged to entlst. They need serve no longer than the duration of the war, the same as other recruits. It is pointed out. The Troop B recruiting station at 106 Fourth street has removed to the armory and Captain Hogan will accept recruits there after this. A new down town office may be opened later.

There were delivered southbound at the same point 2691 cars; excess .northward eltf : cars.

There were loaded during the period from March 1 to 23, 10,154 cars of all 1300 Wffe loaded with lumber.

"As to the statement that the Southern Pacific was short 661. care on April 4, our records on that date show that there were 628 empty box, flat, refrigerator, stock and gondola cars pn hand, also 201 cars of tha. same description awaiting delivery,- to which may be added 148 loaded and empty cars received st Ashland in' transit north-bound, making a total of 877 cars.
