The lorg hit* of fignres and comp aon* made to see who baa and who hae not been called in Uie army draft of last Friday will mean but little to tbe young men of Cape May County. County Clerk A. Carlton Hildreth, who ia also president of Uie Comity Exemption Board, explained to Uie TiMEe tiiat only * yrong men will be called from tbe entire county, in which 1824 were regielered. Tbe original quota of Uie counfy was 183 for Uie tiret draft. Of this iota! ficient voluntary enlistments in tbe ular army and navy, aijd in the Ocean City NaUonal Guard* and tbe Wildwood Artillery were obtained to reduce tbia qoota lo 18, which number must be eupTbe number of enlisted

174.

At eoon aa the official list is received at the Clerk’s office 38 of the first names drawn last Friday for Uiia county will be .ummoned for physical examination and 18 of thia number will be selected. If of the first 38 tbe full quota of U cannot be obtained, because of exemption* and physical defects, then another 38 will be called and this repeated until tbe 18 are enpplied. Selected at Large Contrary to Uie expressed opinion of many, there will be no districting ol the county in eelecUng Uie 18 men to be called. The names will simply be drawn from Uie county at large and no special number must come from any one community or section. In othe. words, if it should so happen, tiie entire number may be called from Ocean City, or Wildwood, or any other one community. Tbia ia hardly probable, however. a* the first 38 name- are

Tbe main point considered in Oriel Justice Gummere'a opinion waa tbe contention of the defense that Jefferaon, aa a Stale officer liable to impeachment, could not be tried nndei the criminal law nnlea* first adjudged guilty in impeachment proceeding*. Showing tbe fallacy of Uiia argumeif:, Chief Joslioe Gummere pointed out Uiat such a condition would mean in manr instances the protection of Buie officials in any wrongdoing in their official capacity.
