PARADE CAUSES RIOT
Socialist Marchers Ranks Broken by
Men in Uniform in Boston-Fist
Battles Are Numerous.
Boston Riotous scenes attended a
Socialist parade Sunday which was an
nounced as a peace demonstration.
The ranks of the marchers were
broken by self-orgnaized squads of uni
formed soldiers and sailors, red flags
and banners bearing Socialist mottoes
were trampled on, and literature and
furnishings in the Socialist headquar
ters in Park Square were thrown into
the streets and burned.
Police reserves stopped the rioting
after it had been in progress an hour
and a half. Many arrests were made.
The police took into custody some of
the participants in hundreds of fist
fights that were waged on the Common
and in the line of the parade, while
agents of the Federal department of
Justice, under direction of Assistant
United States Attorney Goldberg, ar
rested a number of persons who were
alleged to have made unpatriotic re
marks. None of the soldiers and sail
ors who figured in the disturbance was
arrested.
The procession consisted of hunrdeds
of men and women, many of w hom
carried babies. Most of the marchers
carried small red flags with white cen
ters, emblematic of the peace demon
stration, and there were large banners
bearing inscriptions, some of which
read :
"Russia has a six-hour day. Why
not America?" and "Liberty loan, a
first morgtage on labor." A large
American flag was at the head of the
procession.
Half a hundred men in the uniform
of naval reservists, national Guard, ar
rested some men. Marines and Cana
dian "kilties" intercepted the proces
sion at the corner of West and Tre
mont streets, and again at the corner
of Winter and Tremont streets.
23 STATES MADE BONE-DRY
Reed Amendment Gives Prohibitionists
Greatest Victory in History.
Wahintgon, D. C. Twenty-three
states became bone-dry Saturday mid
night, the effective hour of the Reed
amendment prohibiting shipment of
liquor into dry territory where its
manufacture or sale is prohibited.
Eleven other states are partially affec
ted by the legislation, which has been
hailed by temperance advocates as the
greatest single step toward abolition
of the liquor traffic in the nation's his
tory. The law bars from prohibition areas
all mail matter containing advertise
ments or solicitations for orders for
intoxicants.
Justice and postoffice department
officials have made extensive prepara
tions for enforcement of the statute.
No ruling has been made regarding the
status of medicines containing alcohol
and that question may be among the
first to be passed on by the courts un
der the legislation.
The languagt of the anti-shipment
section is very comprehensive, impos
ing a fine of $1000 and imprisonment
for six months, or both, on any person
who shall "order, purchase or cause
intoxicating liquors to be transported
in interstate commerce except for sci
entific, sacramental or mechanical pur
poses into any state or territory, the
laws of which state or territory pro
hibits the manufacture or sale therein
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes."
The same penalties ate prescribed
for violations of the anti-advertising
section. For a second offense in eith
er case the penalty is made one year's
imprisonment.
Following are the states wholly
affected by the act: Alabama, Ari
zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Missis
sippi, Nebraska, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virgin
ia, Washington and West Virginia.
Food Bill May Be Delayed.
Washington, D. C. A formidabe
midsummer legislative program with
food, prohibition and revenue and ma
jor measures, still confronts congress
in its war session, which began three
months ago July 2.
With business congested in the sen
ate and the house marking time in re
cess, senate leaders hoped Saturday to
make rapid progress on the food con
trol bill, with its provision prohibiting
the manufacture of distilled spirits
and send it to conference by the end
of the week.
Two Pro-Germans Expelled.
Mexico City R. Zubaran, former
Mexican minister to Germany and
former representative of the constitu
tional government in Washington, now
a leader of the Mexican senate, and
Jesus Ureta, best-known orator in the
country and one of the leaders in the
house' of deputies, were expelled from
the Constitutional Liberal party, which
has a majority in congress. This ac
tion was attributed to the pro-German
sentiments of, the men.

SELECTIVE

rm
m
Power Given Boards to Decide
on Each Case.
SELECTION MYSTERY
System by Which Choice Will Be Made
Will Be Made Only a Few Days
Before Starting, is Belief.
WASHINGTON, July 1. Preparation
for the mobllinilion of the first con
tinent of C25,Oui troops of the new
National Armv advanced another atep
today when president Wilson proraul
Ktod the regulations to Kovern ex
emptions from military service.
Local and appeal exemption boards
already have been appointed and the
issuance of the regulations will permit
them to organise Immediately and pre
pare for the concluding phases of the
task of setting the men under train
ing for duty In France.
Rxemptlvn Is I."t Step.
In the order In which they must
come there are three steps in the or
ganization process of the National
Army as prescribed by Congress. They
are registration, selection and exemp
tion. The first step has been carried
through anj approximately 10,000.000
men between 21 and 31 years of age
have been registered. The regulations
Issued today cover In detail the opera
tion of the third step, exemption.
Information concerning the second
step in the series, however, still Is
lacking and officials are guarding
closely the method by which selection
is to be applied.
Selection May lie by Number.
The exemption regulations announced
that the boards will be advised of the
selection process later, although none
of the steps prescribed except the or
ganization of the boards can be carried
out until the selection machinery has
finished the names of the men whose
fitness and desirability for Army serv
ice the boards are to Judge. There is
one hint, however, as to how the selec
tion machinery is to work. ,
The local boards are directed upon
organization to take over from the reg
istration precincts the cards and lists
of the men registered on June 5, and
as their first duty, to provide a serial
number for each registration card.
This has given support to the belief
that the selection is to be by number.
Reports were current recently that the
selection drawing was to be made In
Washington.
Presumably the process of selection
will bo announced only a short time
before It Is put into operation. When
that will be is not known.
' September 1 has been the tentative
date set for calling the 650,000 of the
first contingent to the colors for train
ing. Progress with construction of the
16 divisional cantonments for the troops
will govern that action, however. It is
now believed there will be no serious
delay.
The examination process will not
take a great deal of time. It Is diffi
cult to calculate the time the local
boards will need in passing on tho
cases that come before them.
Speed to Be Required.
The regulations provide, however,
that decision in any individual case
shall not be delayed more than three
days by t?ie local boards. The whole
process probably can be carried through
in less than 30 days.
There were no surprises in the exam
ination lerrulations. The task of pass
ing upon the Individual cases Is left
entirely tc the local boards. While the
President ieserves the right to desig
nate Industries necessary for the pub
lic good, the question of whether re
tention of any individual engaged in
these industries is essential Is left to
tho boards.
Officers Ileitis Trained.
While these steps are being carried
out to get together the men of the
National Army, the War Department
is making progress with the even more
difficult task of finding officers for
the forces.
Part of these will ome from the 16
officers' training camps. The first 10,
000 of the 40,000 men at the camps
will be selected for commissions in
the first Increment of the new Army,
and that is less than half the number
of officers necessary.
The War Department today approved
recommendations of comman'iera of
regular regiments, which will commis
sion 3000 or more regular non-commissioned
officers to be captains in the
first 625,000 contingent of the Na
tional Army. It is understood that
more than 50 men from each regiment,
In addition to those now at the officers'
training camps, will be commissioned
for the period of the war.
Regular to De In Command.
A trained and experienced regular
officer will command each regiment of
tne .National Army. To aid him he will
have several other regular officers ex
perienced in particular lines such as
his adjutant, at least one Major, his
ordance and quartermaster officers,
and some others. The remainder of the
officers will come from the reserve
lists, the training camps, or the ranks
of the regular service.
The President issued the following
statement today:
'"Tho regulations which I am today
causing to bo promulgated, pursuant to
the direction of the selective service
law, covering the remaining steps of
the plan for calling into the service of
the United States Qualified men from
those who have registered; those se
lected, as the result of this process, to
constitute, with the regular Army, the
National Guard and the Navy, the
fighting forces of the Nation, all of
which forces are under the terms of
the law placed in a position of equal
right, dignity and responsibility with
Greece Calls Two Classes.
Athens It is stated in reliable quar
ters that the classes of 1916 and 1917
have been called to the colors, as they
normally would be, and probably will
be eent to Saloniki for training. No
other classes will be called out at pres
ent. Administrative control by repres
entatives of the entente allies of var
ious services will be withdrawn within
the next week, except in cases of tele
graph and censorship, which will be
continued with the co-operation of
Greek officers. Colonel Negroposte is
expectedto arrive at Saloniki soon.

TROLLEY INTO RAPIDS
Nine Killed When Car Plungea Over
Twenty-foot Embankment Into
Niagara Falls Whirlpool.
Niagara Falls, N. Y. A belt-line
car on the Great Gorge route left the
rails, plunged down a 20-foot embank
ment and turned over in 10 feet of wa
ter on the edge of the Whirlpool Rap
ids at 3:30 p. m. Sunday.
Nine persons are known to be dead,
two persons known to have been on the
car have not been seen since the acci
dent and probably are dead, an inilefi
nite number, estimated at from two to
ten, are reported missing and more
than a score are in hospitals, suffering
from injuries in the accident.
A washout, due to recent heavy
rains, was the cause of the disaster
which occurred just below the canti
lever bridge, and 60 feet below the
point where the smooth water of the
upper reaches of the Niagara river
break into turbulent waters of the
Whirlpool Rapids. There were more
than 50 persons on board, according to
general estimates.
The car was running at a speed of
20 miles an hour. Less than half a
minute elapsed from the time the mo
torman felt the first 3way until the
car was bottomside up on the edge of
the rushing rapids.
As it slipped down the 20-foot in
cline from the tracks to the edge of
the river, screaming men and women
fought to escape and some of them
were able to get free, but were unable
to obtain a footing on the steep bank.
There was a mad scramble in the
shallow water between the wrecked
car and the river bank. From the
riverside the bodies of at least two of
the passengers were seen to be caught
in the swifter waters, and were cur
ried down to the whirlpool.
Members of the National guard regi
ment, who were on guard at the
bridge, saw the accident and were tho
first to the rescue. Tho soldiers slid
down the bank into the river and
worked in water up to their waists
getting injured passengers free from
the wreckage and passing them up tho
bank, where an emergency car had
been placed to carry them to the Ni
agara Falls hospital.
Mexicans Gst Rations.
Naco, Ariz Some 4000 Mexicans,
former employes of the Cananea Cop
per company at Cananea, Sonora, are
being supplied with free rations from
the camp store, the stock of which has
been confiscated by the local authori
ties there. Each man is being given
goods to the .value of .$1.25, Mexican
money, daily. It is estimated the stock-
on hand will last about 10 days. Mex-.
ican authorities are encouraging the.
idle workmen to leave Cananea, and
circulars have been posted announcing
that free transportation.

from the White House tho night of
May 18, it ia practically certain that
has a military expedition
of this size been assembled, conveyed
anil landed without mishap in no anon

This ia a gotsl augury of future
achievements.
The only rival in magnitude lathe
movement of Hritish troops to South
Afirca in the Hoer war, mid that wu
made over seas that were unhamH'ml
by submarines, mines, or other ob
stacles. The American force will bo a net
gain to the allies. It will throw no
single burden of supply or iiitiipmrnt
upon them. The troop will be fed,
clothed, armed and equipped by the
United State. Around them at the
camp on French soil are being stored
supplies that will keep them going for
months and more will follow.

Washington Suffragist Prefer Prison
Sentence to Fine.
Washington, D. C Ileliind jail bikf
six women suffragists, convicted in
police court Wednesday of obstructing
the sidewalk by displaying propaganda
banners before the White House, held
a song service and suffrage meeting
for the other 40 women inmates of the
prison.
The suffragists had their choice of
$25 fines or three days in jail, anil de
cided to go to jail. They did not at
tempt a hunger strike.
The district prison house woman's
section presented an extraordinary
scene. At a little organ in the car
peted corridor sat Miss Mabel Vernon,
of Reno, Nov., playing "God He. With
You Till We Meet Again" and other
hymns while about her stood th little
group of singers, Miss Kathcrino
Morey, of Iioston; Miss Virginia Ar
nold, of Asheville, N. C; Miss Lavina
Dock, of Philadelphia; Miss Maud
Jamison, of Norfolk, Va., and Miss
Annie R. Arnold, of Wilmington, Del.
Huddled on a stairway beyond it par
tition were 30 negro women and it few
white women who joined in tho re
frain. The jail matron gave the suffragists
permission to address their fellow pris
oners, and the meeting which followed
developed fervent pleas for tho cause
of "votes for women."
Each suffragist has been assigned to
a seperate cell on tho lower tier of the
cell block, with individual berths, toil
