NEW DRAFT BILL REGISTRY PLANS. OUTLINE OF THE METHODS THE WAR DEPARTMENT WILL EMPLOY ISSUED SECY BAKER. Washington, May 5:?Secretary of War Baker today issued a gen' eral outline of the plan of the war department for registering men for military service under the Selective Draft bill. In order that all concerned may have a clear understanding of the registration machinery, which will follow existing election districts and _ precincts, Secretary Baker has is- ~ sued a statement which reads in J part: J "Careful preparation has been * made to place the whole task in the 81 hands of civilian officials of the jr States and to remove every suggestion of military force in putting the w measure into effect. The only func- ai tion of the Federal Government will a gj be supervision through the office of the Provost Marshal General. Si "The Governor of each State will be the chief of registration therein. ^ The machinery of registration in ** each county is to be in charge of the Sheriff, the County Cleark and p] the County Physician, acting ex of- es ficio, unless a different board shall ^ be announced by the Governor. In ^ Sties containing populations of more w than 30,000 the registration will be in under the control of the Mayor and selected boards of registration. In ^ order that the designated county * and city officials and the people gen- U! erally can get a clear understanding of the census methods the following tl brief outline is given: ? The proportion 01 regiMi-ara j jg be one for each 170 persons to be registered. Each age to be regis- ti tered will comprise about 1 per cent M of the population. If, for instance, " all men between nineteen Hnd twen- g. ty-five years of age, inclusive, are to be registered, the registrar would g have to enroll about 7 per cent of N the precinct population. ^ "It is desirable to accept the ser- g ices of competent volunteer registrars to serve without compensation. N All registrars must be sworn. t< "The voting place in each precinct ^ must be prepared for registration. ^ Full printed instructions covering fi every detail of registration will be - - - * if u in the hands of snenns ana mayors *> n the fifth day after the President's . proclamation. "The Mayor of a city' containing > more than 20,000 inhabitants, or S the officials designated by the Governor therein, shall, with approval o of the Governor, appoint for each ward or convenient minor subdivis- l ion containing about 30,000 people, 9 one registration board, and shall 9 designate one officer of each board ^ to perform duties similar to those imposed on the Sheriff, as hereto- t fore outlined. If the Mayor desires e he may appoint a central board to 8 co-ordinate the work of minor ^ boards. f "Persons absent from their home 1 A/v<intioa mnv hp rponstered bv mail. ^ "Persons too sick to present them- j ^ selves for registration must send a jc competent person to the county or j 1' city clerk on the sixth day after the j ^ issuing of the proclamation. The j * clerk will give instructions for reg- v istration." t t Q Fire In Johnsonville. * e Fire which broke out in Johnsonville about 11 o'clock Monday night in the store of Mr L A Taylor resulted in the destruction of considerable s property, despite the fact that a steady rain was falling. The store- j house of Mr Taylor, with its entire v stock of merchandise, was destroyed; also the buildings formerly occupied ^ by S B Poston and the Telephone Co, j H E Eaddy and Jack Huggins. The property burned was partially cover- ( ed by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. jj ?? c FOR SALE P I I have an extra nice mare, v sound and gentle for any one to handle; will work anywhere that is intended for a horse to work; heavy enough to do any kind of I v work and nice enough to drive to f any man's buggy or carriage, p and brings splendid colts.
