Indications that an agreement between

The Director appeared beforo the com
mission to nsk authorit to proceed with
the construction of thn Chestnut Btreet sub
way and the continuation of the Frankford

In response to questions from Chairman
William D B. Alney, of tho commission and
Assistant City Solicitor Lowetigrund, who
conducted tho direct examination, Mr. Twin
ing, howeer, charneterlrcd the Chestnut
htreet subway as a "Mibbtitute line" which,
he made plain, would bo built only in case
the city should fall to come to any oper
ating agreement with the translt'company
"At the Conclusion of the hearing, the
Director reiterated his declaration that the
Chestnut street tube was merely a "substi
tute" and added that pushing It forward at
this time was only a "lcer" toward work
ing out a satisfactory agreement
When asked whether the Issuance of a
certificate of public conenlence by the
commission for the line would obligate tho
city to build it at the present time, the
Director replied:
"I most certainly hope that such Is not
the case."
At the opening of the hearing Mr. Lowen
grund suggested to the commission that both
the application for the southern extension
of the Frankford line and for the Chestnut
street tube be considered together, since It
was the present Intention of the city to con

join the Darby and Frankford elevated lines

RIOTS TO BE SQUELCHED
Federal Authorities Guard
Against Any Trouble in

WASHINGTON, July 18.
There was every Indication this
afternoon that the draft of the national
army cannot be made before Friday
night.
Reports today from capitals of tho
States still unorganized indicate that
the last State may not be organized
until Friday.
Missouri probably will be the last
State to report, and it is indicated that
the State will not be ready .to make
the draft until Friday.
Michigan will probably complete her
work today.
Pennsjlvania has but two boards yet
to organize.
New York will be ready tomorrow.
Illinois will be ready by night.
Should Missouri report before 5
o'clock on Friday, it seems probabla
that the draft will be held Friday night.
If the report comes later than 5 on
Friday afternoon, it is not likely that
the little numbered capsules will bo
drawn before Saturday morning.
WASHINGTON, July 18.
Selecting America's first big national
army by lot will be,Btaged within .fifty-sir
hours, according to Indications today. Either
the great reception room of Secretary
Baker's office or one of the htstorlc cham
bers of Congress will be the scene.
Everything Is ready for the human lot
tery. except a few dallying registration dis
tricts. The little capsules with the fated
numbers are stowed safely In the War De
partment, while regulations governing the
drawing of these are In the Government
printer's hands today. The rules will be
announced through the press before the"
drawing.
, An air of mystery has been thrown about
the lottery. Officlals'refuse to be specific as
to Just how and where they will pull the
numbers, though they did say the draft wilt
occur Just as soon as the, last red Ink draft
numbers are tabulated. One authority said
that this might occur within two hours aftejr
the last Governor had declared the numbers
were In, Irrespective of the time of'day.
General Crowder called a conference late
today of newspapermen who will flash the
fateful numbers to the nation. The com
plete drawing system will be explained In
confidence to prevent misunderstanding on
draft day
SENATORS ATTACK ESTIMATES
Northern Senators opened a vicious at
tack In the Senate today both against "the
census draft estimates and the War De
partment's doclslon to remove National
Guard contonments and officers' training
camps to the South. Senators Pomerene,
Ohio, nnd Lodge, Massachusetts, read tele
grams from the Governors of their States
against what Lodge termed the "perfectly
preposterous" census figures. Senator La
Follette announced he was preparing an ap
peal to the War Department not to send
the Wisconsin National Guard south until
October.
Protests of Senators on the cantonment
question were based on the claim that all of
the men who are sent south will be ln the
trenches before winter and should not be
trained In a warm climate.
The Secretaries of War and Commerce
were charged by Representative McCulloch,
of Ohio. In a House resolution today, with
Ignoring the selective draft act In appor
tioning the various State quotas of troops
tor the conscript army.
He calls on these departments to explain
why the law Is being violated.
"Instead of apportioning the quotas ln
accordance" with the population," says, the
McCulloch resolution, "the War Depart
ment Is apportioning the quotas In ac
cordance with the registration of June i,
which registration does not present a true
indication of the population."
EXEMPTION SEEKERS THICK
Meantime, seekers of exemption from
service are flooding Into Washington today.
Congressmen and public officials are bsJ
sieged A mistaken Idea that exemptions
can be gained through "Influence" has sent
hundreds to the national capital, only to ba
sent back to their local district boards with
their pleas
Tho National Government has nothing to'
do with exemptions, and will have nothing
to do with them for some time, until appeals
are finally brought to President Wilson.
Pleas of all kinds have been brought to
the attention of the Judge Advocate ln the
office of Provost Marshal General Crowder,
Youths who "Intend" studying for the min
istry have sought exemption under the plea
that even though they are not now divinity
students they expect to come under that
class.
One aged gentleman Journeyed from the i
South to get his "fine. Industrious boy" an .
exemption and fix It so the "worthless son"
of a neighbor would be sent Hundreds of
these personal pleas have come to Wash
ington and serve to Indicate how huge and
trying a task the local exemption boards
will face.
RIOTS A POSSIBILITY
Federal authorities have not overlooked
possibility ot draft riots in New York and
other big cities, and are prepared to deal
summarily with any outbreaks.
The method ot apportionment ot the
quotas, based on revised population figures,
is causing much rancor throughout the
country. Bills arV pending In Congress
and others are ready for introduction either
to force readjustment of the quotas or to
make some provision for including certain
aliens. The State Department holds that
Italians and Japanese cannot be belied tor
