NO ESCAPE FROM
EXEMPTION WORK
Governor Neville Receives In
structions From Washington
Not to Permit Members
to Avoid Duty.
(From a SUff Correspondent)
Lincoln, July 31. (Special.) Mem
bers of local exemption boards are as
effectively drafted for this duty as
are men selected-for military service,
and refusal to serve will give cause
for action by the federal Department
of Justice, according to rulings of
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
sent from Washington to Governor
Seville.
In future members of local exemp
tion boards will be excused only for
the most urgent reasons, approved by
the governor ,and he is warned to
recommend the excuse only in case of
great hardship.
To Keep Complete. Record.
Local exemption boards are or
dered to keep a complete docket of
every case called, and to record every
action taken in respect to it No board
can receive final credit for its quota
for any selected man until word has
been received frm the military au
thorities at the mobilization camp
that he has been accepted into the
military service. Some men will be
rejected at the mobilization camps
who have been passed by the local
and district exemption boards.
By the seventh day after the first
call for examination, all claims for
exemption and discharge by men
called will be filed by the local board.
A new call will then at once be sent
out, to fill computed deficits in the
quota. This second call should be for
110 per cent of the quota.
The tSate department has instruct
ed that passports will eb issued to
persons subject to draft only when
the application is accompanied by a
permit by the provost marshal gen
eral to leave the country.
Apply to Washington.
Until August 5 applications for per
mits to leave must be made to the
provost marshal general, but after
that date to local exemption boards.
If the applicant is held- for military
service the local board will refuse the
permit, unless the applicant's order is
so tar down the list that he could not
be included in the present draft.
Service in Red Qpss ambulance
companies in not a valid claim for
exemptton or discharge. Therf is no
provision under tne law wnereby med
ical students can eb exempted or dis
charged the validity of this claim
must be passed by the boards.
The boards are instructed to permit
physical examinations before the day
set it the person called shows the
necessity for moving forward the
time.
Omaha Headquarters.
Omaha was established as head
quarters for the North Platte appel
late exemption board at the organiza
tion meeting in the governor's office
today. South Platte headquarters will
be in Lincoln. These officers were
elected:
North Platte District Douglas
Cones, Pierce, chairman; M. C. Peters,
Omaha, secretary.
South Platte District Fred W.
Ash ton, Grand Island, chairman; Lu
ther B. Frye, Lincoln, secretary.
Governor Neville addressed the
members of the board, and told them
to be ready for a long grind, as their
services were at the disposal of the
government during the period of the
war. He urged them not to permit
personal considerations to govern
their rulings on exemption claims.
Terminal Assessment
Increase Upheld by Board
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, July 31. (Special.) The
State Board of Equalization today ap
proved Douglas County , Assessor
Fitzgerald's $59,000-increase to the
terminal assessment of the Burlington
railroad in Omaha, to cover the value
of street and alleys in the possession
and use of the company. His assess
ment of $100,000 on .the Burlington's
freight depot was reduced to $90,000,
but it is still an increase on the
original return of $85,000.
Although the assessor had listed
$160,000 cash on hand belonging to the
Burlington and $104,000 to the Union
Pacific as part of their terminal tax
valuation, the state board decided that
this mbney belongs to the whole sys
tems of the railroads and is not Sub
ject to local assessment.
The board overruled Fitzgerald's
027,000 increase in the Missouri Pa
cific assessment.

District Judge Stewart at Lin
coln Decides New Schedule
Is Within Rights of the
Order to Establish.
New motorcycle ambulance presented to the Fourth Nebraska by patriotic citizens of Omaha. Left to right: Private Suey,
Corporal Murray, Major Birkney, Major Todd.
The Fourth Nebraska is now the
possessor of a new Indian motor
cycle ambulance, one of the only three
of its kind in the United Stages. The
ambulance is the gift of some patriotic
Omaha citizens, who prefer to remain
anonymous.
It is equipped to carry two wound
ed men and that it will see service at
an early date is probable, for it will
go along with the "Fghting Fourth"
wherever and whenever it goes.
"There are only two other motor
cycle ambulances like this in the coun
try," said Major Todd. "I felt one
would be a valuable acquisition for
our regiment and a number of Omaha
citizens contributed to the fund. The
cost was $325. It will -carry two
wounded men and a driver."
