John I.. May, Jr., had scarcely adjusted himself behind his desk In tho lobby of the police station at 6 o'clock a. m. when the first applicant for registration regis-tration presented himself, and during tho balance of tho day thcro v.as a steady stream of Germans anxious to comply with the la w. The ijrst to register was Al lert J redo w, ;:75 Sout h Second East si reef. AnslsMng Mr.' May in the work wan Walter S. Brown of the city detective department and Sergeant Lynn Meibos of tho United Stales marines recruiting station, sta-tion, the latter attending the fingerprint finger-print portion of the work and doing much of the weighing and measuring, George Charso of the cit y detective department gave, material aid In registering the linger prints. As each applicant appeared before Mr. May he was given a blank to till out and if it was returned complete in every detail he was given two additional blanks to bo rilled in by copying the first. May Take Census of Women. Tn a great many instances, however, not more than half of the questions were answered properly, and some of them not at nil, on tho first blank, and one of the registration officers tilled in the remainder remain-der from Information submitted in answer an-swer to verbal questions. Neither subjects of Austria-Hungary nor German women are required to register. reg-ister. .Later, a census of German women may be taken as a bill to include women in the definition of alien enemies was introduced intro-duced yesterday in congress by Chairman Chair-man Webb of the Judiciary committee, on recommendation of the department of justice. If the bill is passed, women will be subject to Internment or other re-siraints re-siraints ; now imposed on dangerous enemy aliens. Early in the day a telegram was received re-ceived from Provost-Marshal-General E. 11. Crowder advising the registration officers of-ficers that nil information contained in the forms must be kept absolutely secret. Otherwise there would have been some interesting stories to tell concerning the inside history of many of the registrants. It is presumed that the order was sent out bv the provost -marshal-general to protect the registrant from publicity being be-ing given to I lie answer as to whether the registrant had ever beon arrested or detained cm any charge, as there is no other question in the blank that would call for secrecy. Tail lo Get Permits. The registration yesterday revealed the fact that quite a number of unnaturalized Germans in Salt Frfike had failed to provide pro-vide themselves with permits from the United States marshal allowing them to circulate within the restricted zones. All of these were directed at once to report to Timed States Marshal AquIIa Ncbe-ker. Ncbe-ker. to explain why they had not secured se-cured such permits, and to take immediate imme-diate steps to comply with this phase of they law, .Ml of those who had no permits per-mits claimed complete ignorance of the fact that permits were necessary. There was a pathetic side to the inquiry in-quiry incident to the registration. Several of the registrants, before the war began, bad relatives in Germany, but in answering answer-ing the question many of them replied that they had not had a letter for 50 long that they did not . know whether their parents were still living or not. Some admitted that they had brothers : and perhaps fathers lighting for the kaiser. As a rule the registration law was complied com-plied with intelligently. One registrant, who submitted his four photographs with Ids signature written across the features of the face, was admonished that the signature sig-nature should have been written below the features. He became quite indignant and replied that '"that is what the instructions say." "When he was told to produce new prints of his photograph he perslstentlv refused and, throwing the improperly signed pic-lures pic-lures on the desk, started to leave the place. Becomes Meek at Last. "All right. ' said Mr. May, "have your own way about it, but these prints will not be accepted, und we'll get you if you persist in defying the law." The recalcitrant one got as far as the main entrance when he returned and meekly remarked that he would secure new prints. acL"te Postmaster Noble Warrum did his nart personam-,' takI"S ,h 8l "ration?
