I'olland, city attorney, represented the federal governmc.'.t in the appeal cases brought up frc.'ii district Xo. 1. Tn all other eases where the federal government had taken appeals from the decisiorj of the loca I exemption boards, where exemptions were based on the ground that the men had dependents, the district board sustained the local boards. Ten More Certified. The district board yesterday took up a number of matters in connection with the certification of names of those who ivere examined in this state, but who registered for militarv service in other stales. It was ssid by Lafayette Han-thett, Han-thett, soeretary of the board, that this work would be completed within a rhort time and each state would be credited cred-ited with the number of meu examined here. The board yesterday certified ten names from Salt Lake county district No. 1 to the national army, four from Summit county and one from Weber county. As all of the counties and districts' dis-tricts' throughout the state have practically prac-tically tilled their quotas, the work of the district board in the matter of appeals ap-peals and certification of names is lighter than at any time since the local boards began certifying names to the national nrmv. The next session of the board will he held on Monday, as today will be given over to clerical work in arranging the records. Will Re Given Banquet. Notices were sent out yesterday for the 40 per cent certified by local draft board No. Z for military service and to be seui; ta the mobilization camp at American Lake, Wash., to report at the capitol on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock for instruction as to entrapment. entrap-ment. The board also notified the following fol-lowing five. additional men. to those previously pre-viously notified and published, to report re-port at that time: James Erastus Meil-strup, Meil-strup, Fenton Hardy, Joseph Howard Burton, Edward E. Corderv and Herbert Gill. The men of the latest draft contingent contin-gent of the national army, who leave for Camp Lewis next Wednesday, will be guests of honor at a banquet at the Neivhouso hotel next Tuesday, at 12:30 o'clock. The city and the county commissioners com-missioners will be the hosts. Armv officers from Fort Douglas, state officials and members of the district dis-trict and local draft boards will be guests of honor, along with the drafted men. Lacks Birth Data. Though he does not know, according to his registration card, either the date of his birth or the town in which he , was born. Louis F. Crumlv has qualified as a soldier for Uncle Sam s national army from the local draft division No. 4. He is to go to Camp Lewis with the contingent' leaving October 3. Mr. Cnimly's registration card shows ' that he was born some timo in the mo-ita of March, 1SST, the date being ! absent. As to the place of birth, the card gives the state of Kansas and the : statement that the name of the town in which he was born is unknown to Mr. Crumley. Reward Is Offered. Authorizing the general application of the $oi) reward for the capture of deserters de-serters from the army, in vogue during times of peace, to those who fail to report for militarv duty when called by the local draft boards. Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder has sent the following fol-lowing telegram to Governor Bamberger: Bam-berger: A reward of $-0 is payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp or pest of a deserter. This reward is iu furl satisfaction of all expenses incurred in said delivery. A person who fails to report to his local board for military duty at the time specified in his order to report is a deserter. A person who fails to report to the adjutant general gen-eral of the state by the date specified speci-fied in the order of the adjutant general to said person is a deserter. Plenty of Assistance. It is highly probable from every standpoint that an effort will now be made to round up all persons who are delinquent in reporting for military service. It is thought that if the fact of reward is given the widest publicity, we shall have a gTeat force of police officers and even of individuals interested in bringing such de'inq'.ients uuder military control. If. after such per- eons are brought to a militarv au-thoroity, au-thoroity, it appears to the military authority that the delinquency is not willful, they will be torwarded to a mobilisation enmp and their local board will be given credit. If it appears that the delinquency was willful, they will be prosecuted before be-fore court-martial as deserters. In either case the reward is payable. The following five men are reported not to have appeared for examination before Salt Lake City draft board Xo. 2. They have ten days to report before their names are turned over to thp department de-partment of justice representative. Their names are: Ahin Stone, iiti Richards street; Dale L. Morris, 1 2 1 West First SouMi street; Leo Nixon. '217 South Second West street; Albert Gray, tv-ML. Richards street, and Francis Ke-loso, Ke-loso, 37(3 West First South street. |
