A plea for general national preparedness, the establishment of schools for the training of men for the citizen soldiery and the continental army of this country was made by Major General Leonard Wood, commander of the Department of the East of the United States Army, today at a luncheon tendered him by the New Orleans Citizen and Commercial Club. Mr.

fVood is visiting several cities to inspect defenses, promote interest in training camps and tirpre the necessity of preparedness. From here General Wood goes to Galveston. "The United States cannot depend on a volunteer army system." General Wood declared. "It is the most dangerous system the nation could rely on for national dsfnse. War comes suddenly: to send volunteers to the front is to sent untrained men against the trained men, which is little short of murdering our own citizens." Tie said this country does not demand a large standing army, but thnt a good, adequate navy is vital.

"Back of our military system," be said, "there must be general organization for defense. Our factories, transportation lines, mines and all industries needed to create war supplies or move troops must be marshalled so that, when war comes each plant and industry will know what to do to aid mohilization of all our military resources." Ernest Lee president of the Association of Commerce, who presided at the luncheon, stated that more than seventy-five local firms employing over 4,000 young men recently consented to grant employes who enlisted in military organizations, annual vacations with pay. so that they could attend training camps. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 4 Ohio's StiUe Banking Commission today closed the so-called "bucket shops." arrested their managers on charge of violating the "blue sky" law and operating fraudulent securities agencies and ordered several telegraph operators held as witnesses.

Scores of customers, caught in the raids, will be cal.ed as witnesses.

Harry T. Sail, head of the banking commission, estimated that each of the branches closed today was doing enough business to net a daily profit of $3,000. Half the managers taken into custody today were still in jail tonight.

The raids were made on two establishments in Youngstown, and one each in Dayton, Akron. Canton, Toledo, Marion, Steubenville East Liverpool Fremont, Norwalk and Piqua.

DIRECTORS CLOSE BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE, N.

C. Institution Unable to Rally From Previous Losses PROVIDENCE, R. Feb. 4. The case of Mrs.

Elizabeth F. Mohr and two negroes Cecil V. Hrown and Henry Spellman charged with the murder of the woman's husband, will go to the jury tomorrow. Attorney-General Rice closed his arguments for the prosecution late today and Justice Sterns will deliver his charge, tomorrow morning. Throughout today's long session Mrs.

Mohr sat immovable except once when she wept as the prosecutor asserted there was no evidence to show that "she ever looked upon the face of her dead husband." Continuing, Mr. Rice said: "The defendants, Brown and Spell-man, were out of a job and an offer of $2,000 to do a job of this kind was an immense fortune and $1,000 to Spell-man was a fortune for him. "We find out that Mrs. Mohr was suing her husband for divorce and that she knew Miss Burger was going down to Newport that night with him. Who had the motive? Then who did the actual shooting? "Mrs.

Mohr admitted she had talked of a settlement on a basis of an absolute divorce, for the Newport home and $75,000. The feeling was so bitter that each was trying to do all he or she could against the other. That was the situation in the summer of 1915. Mr. Mohr separated from his wife a year and a half before.

"Nothing was too cruel for her t' say against the doctor," Rice went on. "The heart of this woman must have been turned to stone." The prosecutor said Healis, wh turned State's evidence, told the truth and is a free man. The Attorney-General's soliloquy, in which he carried on an imaginary conversation witht Dr. Mohr from the grave was a feature of his argument. He declared that he could hear the'doc-tor say he had only one enemy, "the woman who made hell on earth for him and pursued him to his death." Quality LUMBER Service TRY US CENTRAL LUMBER CO.
