SHUMWAY WOULD
KILL NORMAL BOARD
Land Commissioner Declares
v That for Tear Millions
Have Been Handled ij
an Illegal Body.
irrem a Burt Corraapondetit.)
Lincoln, June 3. (Special.) The
State Normal board has no right to
live, move or have a being, according
-to State Land Commissioner Grant
Shumway. Mr. Shumway has handed
down several opinions since he has
been land commissioner and he his
given several other opinions under his
breath, as he has come in contact
with the way some people run state
affairs, but this is the first time he
has attempted to declare any depart
ment of the state has no right to
exist.
Mr. Shumway declares the Board
of Public Lands and Funds, of which
he is a member, has the care and
supervision and control of ali public
buildings and institutions, except
those in charge of the Board of ton
trol and the regents of the state uni
versity.
Covering that matter he says:-'
"I, therefore, suggested to Auditor
Smith and Treasurer Hall, that there
might be objections to their approv
ing vouchers upon and issuing and
cashing warrants involving state
normal funds, unless the legally
constituted board has author
ized the expenditures and approved
the bills,
Section 26 of Article V of the con
stitution of the state says: 'No other
executive state otfices shall be con'
tinued or created, and the duties now
devolving upon officeri not provided
for by this constitution, shall be
performed by -the officers herein
created." '
; 'That seems so plain it would ap
pear no one could misunderstand, yet,
throuKh all these years, millions have
been spent by this illegally operat
ing normal board. 1 will not oe a
party to ill continuance. The mem
bers of the Board, of Educational
Lands and Funds are sworn and
bonded to perform their constitu
tional duties, and I see no manner
of procedure other than the turning
over to the only board legally compe
tent to handle them, 'the care, super
vision, management and control' . of
the State Normal schools. ;
"I do not wish to be understood
as finding any fault with the char
acter of the members of the State
Normal board, but they lack legal
authority. Perhaps they will be will
inn; to yield, their onerous duties, or
may prefer auo warranto action and
an order of the court."

DEFENSE COUNCIL
GIVES DRAFT TIPS
Statement Issued at Lincoln
Gives Outline of Procedure
That Will Be followed on
Registration Day.
(From a Staff Currtipondant.)
Lincoln, June 3. (Special.) Not
withstandinj extensive effort! have
been mad. through the press and
otherwise to instruct the people as to
their duties on June 5, registration
day, the Council of Defense is deluged
with letters asking for information
covering all sorts of subjects, and so
the council has, in an attempt to make
the matter as plain as possible, issued
the following statement:
"The president has set the day as
June 5, between the hours of 7 o'clock
in the morning and 9 o'clock at night,
and every young man who has at
tained the age of 21 and has not yet
reached the age of 31 it in duty bound
to register For illness or absence
due provis ons are made for registra
tion. In discussing the matter yes
terday Mr. Joyce said: 'It must be
understood tliat dodging registration
is virtually impossible.' It ought to be
understood, too, that there should be
no confusion between registration day
and exemption day. Registration day
comes Tuesday, June 5, and the day
for exemptions has not yet been
named. Later on tlte president will
designate that day, and until that time
exemptions will not be considered.
Decorate Everywhere.
"Of course, Nebraska is keeping
step with the spirit of the day. It will
do as other states are doing. It will
be a great day one of the greatest
in our history. Flags and bunting,
bands and parades, children and girls
in gala attire and throngs of enthusi
astic patrictic people will be every
where. "The president, the National Coun
cil of Defense and those in charge of
the movement throughout the nation
are earnestly praying that this day
of registration will be the day of all
days. It lis recommended that all
registration places be decorated with
the national colors and emblems.
Bands playing patriotic airs, with no
ragtime music, are desired in all regis
tration places. The young men of
registration age will be the feature
and the heroes, we hope, of the pa
rades and should be escorted to the
registration booth amid the din and
noise of pa'riotic throngs.
Requests for Badges.
"We are receiving many requests
with reference to badges, buttons, etc.
That ia generally considered a matter
of local taite. The national council,
however, has advised the wearing of
an arm badge not over three inches
wide of light weight khaki-colored
cotton material. We have heard from
many places in Nebraska where this
form of badge is adopted and we as
sume that women's sewing societies
over the state will be turning out
thousands of these badges with which
to label the heroes who register next
Tuesday. Above all it should not be
forgotten that while failure of young
men of the proper age to register will
mean a prison sentence and a draft
into service afterward, at the same
time those who do register, should
they join the colors, would be carried
on the army rolls as volunteer sol
diers. I . Meetings at Night.
' "At the state defense headquarters
arrangements are being made for the
participation in the registration and
every effort it being made to impart
information or help in a general way
in the details of the big day. It was
stated that Tuesday evening, after the
registration, booths are closed, gath
erings will be held in many towns
over the state where suitable speeches,
songs, music, etc., will be held. A
large number of places will hold big
patriotic meetings during the after
noon while registration is in prog
ress." Mrs. Stanfield Head of
The American Daughters
Mrs. Earl E. Stanfield was chosen

No Choice Permissible '
After Draft Selection
Rather than be registered and then
subjected to the choice of the gov
ernment and not their own choice of
the maiiiier m which they should serve
their country, hundreds nocked to the
recruiting stations yesterday. For the
last three days each station has re
ported double the enlistments of the
average day for the preceding two
weeks. All the men who are drafted
are to be enrolled in the regular
army, and those who would rather
serve in another branch of the serv
ice will lose their right of choice, once
they are selected. 1 his does not mean
that registered men will snot be al
lowed to enlist after next Tuesday,
but once they are drafted they have
no choice in the matter.
With the increased number of ac
tual enlistments' appears also an in
creased number of slackers, who try
to dodge service by feigning physical
defects. One hale and hearty young
man appeared before the officials in
charge at the Army building and be
moaned the fact that his sight was
thort. - Someone held up an open
extended. "How many fingers can
you see?" "Three," came the prompt
reply. Several such tests met with a
like result, but when someone sta
tioned at the door as he went out
asked him to change a ten-dollar bill
and handed him a $1 bill, the short
sighted one showed him his mistake
at once.
