Washington. July 19. (I: N. S.)
The "war lottery," to select the na
tional army, will be drawn In groups.
Only 1000 numbers will be drawn. The
100P, however, will dispose of the en
tire registered eligibles, numbering
nearly ten million men.
General Enoch Crowder, provost
marshal general, so announced today.
4 The 10,000,000 registrants are divided
Into groupa. These groups are con
trolled by "key numbers" from aero
to ten. The men to be called up have
been numbered in red ink on the se
lective list by tha local boards. These
red ink aerial numbers run from very
small figures in the lightly populated
districts to more than 10,000 in a very
few other districts.
The red numbers were assigned by
chance. Because of this General
Crowder bas ruled that drawings in
sets of 1000 will in no way work a
hardship on any one. To make it fair
the drawings will be divided into two
parts. First will be the "key num
bers" to determine in what order each
sheet of 1000 shall appear on tne mas
ter list Then will com a drawing of
numbers from 1 to 1000 to determine
the order inside group in which the
registered eligibles shall be called up.
In explaining the manner in which
the drawing shall take place General
Crowder today issued the following:
Ten million men are registered
(87,000 are needed In tha first call. Who
shall go first?
Ancient Flan Dlaoardad
"If we were reading with the an
cient draft we should take every four
teenth man. But we are not con
scripting. We are selecting for mili
tary service those whose civil service
can best be spared. Therefore the
question is not, 'Who shall go first?"
but Who ahall be called first for
examination?' and what we must do in
to make a list showing the order of
examinations.
"Now no one knows how many men
must be examined to yield 887,000

Complaint Is Made
Against Capt. Blaine
W. J. tTones. Head of Stevedoring Xlrm,
Says Shipping Board Baprase&tatlYS
Is Arbitrary and Unjust.
Washington, July 19. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Complaint against Captain Blaine,
shipping board representative at Seat
tle, has been made to Senator Cham
berlain by W. J. Jones of Portland,
who alleges arbitrary and unjust
methods in performing work connected
with German ships taken over at Port
land. His complaint is that the steve
doring was not BjWarded to the lowest
bidder on tha Dreadnaught, and was
let without bids on the Red Jacket
to. a firm with which Blaine formerly
wan connected. Also complaint was
. made as to contracts for repairs and
supplies. Chamberlain win make in
ftulry.
W. J. Jones, local stevedore. Is
president of W. A. Jones, Inc., with
offices In the Board of Trade building.
The Dreadnaught and Red Jacket were
loaded by Brown Sc MccaDe, inc.
-The shipping board policy, according
to Captain Blaine, has been to put
work where it can be done quickest.
' This plan has been followed not only
n the repair of the German vessels,
but also in the new shipbuilding
work. Speed has always been con-
t stdered first, financial responsibility
md price next.
Rumors that members of the Bow
Leong tong pulled the wool over the
eyes of detectives and deputy sheriffs
havs? been rife since the shooting
Wednesday afternoon of two fiuev
Sing Chinese at Fourth and Everett
streets.
That a well formulated plan was ex
ecuted to clear Chinatown of all police
during the shooting Is the belief of
detectives. Six city detectives and
eight or nine deputy sheriffs at the or
der of the district attorney's office.
met at the courthouse in the after
noon at 4:80 o'clock, far from the
scene of the shooting. Here they were
scheduled to meet certain members of
the Bow Leong tong to identify heads
of opposing tongs against whom se
cret indictments had been returned the
day before.
Six city detectives detailed on this
work left Chinatown practically de
serted. The detectives, deputy sher
iffs and John Collier, representing the
district attorney s office, and the Bow
Leongs started out in six automobiles,
arriving 16 minutes after the shooting.
"That tha Bing Kung-Bow Leongs
should have staged this shooting.
further Investigation proves they did,"
said Mr. Collier, will come as a sur
prise to the district attorney's office
The members of that tong whom
have examined swear that they had
no gunmen in town and It only
mains to be seea whether or not they
have been telling the truth."
About 700 Dioneers have already
gathered at the auditorium for their
forty-fifth annual reunion. They are
the good, hardy people mat, years
ago, stood starvation time ana again
and slept under the stars in tne wina
and rain, that In years to come their
children might have their land and
modern comforts.
Badges bearing In large red- nu
merals the date when they came to
the land of the setting sun, are worn
by every pioneer and are secured at
the registration booths, which were
the only busy places about the
Auditorium this morning. In other
parts of the building the pio
neers were gathered and lazily
talked of old times and how
things have changed. The badges car
