To Reorganize the Militia. Senator Hawley, from the committee on military affairs, has reported his bill for the reorganization of the militia. The bill ts a recodification of the laws relating to the militia, with such changes as are neces- sary-to adapt them to existing conditions. The bill provides for two classes of militia —the organized and the unorganized—the former to be known as the national guard and the latter as the reserve militia. It appropriates $400,000 annually for the pur- chase of military stores and supplies to be issued to the militia ef the various states. The bill aiso permits the use of United Se States forts by the militia upen the appli- } cation of the governors of the states as a camp ground, and authorizes the use of the guns belonging to any fort for purposes of drill any militia company. ———_——e-______ BE.

Ui People at Gaithersburg Believe Ran- dolph ‘Guilty. in REASONABLE SUMMING UP | —_¢—__ His Own Story Untrue and Several Witnesses identify Him. NEALE’S MOTIVE Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GAITHERSBURG, Md, June 2—The chain of evicence about the prisoner, Sid- rey Randolph, has strengthened during the past lwo or three days, 60 the people here think, and the matter of his guilt is not éven questioned. All doubts in the minds ef the officials anc others have been dis- pelled, and it is certain that when brought here from the Baltimore city jail for 2 preliminary examtnattor he will be held tc arswer for the Buxton crime unless there are sume startling developments in the case in the near future. When De- tectives Pohler and Seibeld returned here iest evening from their investigating tour, Detectice Pohier admitted that suspicions peinted strongly to Ra.dolph. If Ran- dolph is guiliy, however, they think that Neal must have been impheated, for a stranger, unless iusane, could have had 20 motive in entering either the Buxton or the English house. The motive, the Baltimore detectives think, was certainly not robbery, for in the same neighborhood there are much finer aouses, in which e stranger would naturally have expected to find more money. Then, too, these houses are so small that one could hardly enter without making noise eneugh to awaken the vocupants. The Theory Now. The theory of the officials, us well as of citizens interested in the investigation, has been and still is that George Neale went in the Kuglish house, while his tramp com- punion did the Moody work in Buxton’s, but this theory to the minds of one of the investigators was almost upset when be went to the English house with the knife taken from Randolph at the time of Fis arrest and concluded that it mad been used to cut the window sash there. There are several gases in the blade of the knife the cuts in the soft pine window sash, it is said, show their imprint. if this be true it is in keeping with the theory of Detectives Horne and Weedon that Ran- dolpht entered the English house and not the house of Buxton. ‘The latest informa- tion of sny importance came to State's At- torney Kilgour frum the Baltimore peni- tentiary yesterday, which was to the ef- fect (hat while serving his cen years’ sen- ence for mnious assault on a girl, Neale uttered threats against the Buxtons. This information the state’s attorney con- sidered valuable in fixing a motive for the crime on Neale. So much importance was attached to the ‘nformation that the at- torney went to Baltimore last evening to make further inquirts about the threats and get language used by the prisoner in making the threat as nearly as possible. Another feature of the case which is Te- garded as an extremely _good piece of evi- dence is the remar of Jbuxton: ‘He look- j ke Clem Johnson.” coupled with the rk of Mrs. Owens at the time of his “Don't shoot Clem Jehnson, he t done anything.” Randolph Probably Identified. d, in addition to the many suspicious circumstances, it is fully believed here that Mr. Buxton fully identified Randolph at the hospital. While this statement has been given out by some of the citizens as au- thentic, none of -the- officials will say whether it is true or fot. There are still some few people who balieve that the man who committed the assault did not mean mur¢ He was atmaid to deal the blows too hard, said one nen, for fear there would be too much blood drawn, and that presence of plood on his clothing might pad to his capture and conviction, There can be no doubt whatever that Randolph has not told the truth about his movements here and about the time of his arrival. He was certainly in Rockville Sat- urday morning, for he had something to eat at three houses at least, as well as at a house on the Frederick road between Rockville and here. Then, Saturday night, he was here in Mr. Cariisle’s store, and pre- tended he wanted to purchase a red haud- kerchief. Then he made other statements which are not true, and in view of the time he was seen here he could not have slept in an old mill in Georgetown at the time he said he did. He declares that he stopped in a bakery in Georgetown Saturday night and bought a loaf of bread, and says he can point out the bakery. The statements of Mahala or “Hal.” Mc- Abee, under arrest and confined in jail, are sull being investigated, as is that of Opera Wartield, the colored ‘girl who was with him at the time. As heretofore stated, the man says he saw a white tramp near ‘Ward's station Monday morning, about an hour after the assault was committed, while Qpera declares she saw Randolph cross the track and enter the woods near the field across which the footprints were tracked. . Whnt the Girl Saw. “I was coming down the track to my service place,” she sald, “when I saw some smoke beside the track. I thought there might be a tramp there, and so I became scared. Looking around, I saw Mr. War- field, and so I waited for nim. When we got down near Mr. Mimam’s place I saw the big black man come out of tne woods and ross the track.” “And would you recognize him now?” Yes, sir," she answered, without any hesitation, “He's the man Randolph I af- terward saw under arrest, and he had on the same slouchy old shoes.” She is a girl of much more than average intelligence, and she declares that she can- not be mistaken. The detectives were very much impressed with the girl’s manner, and are inclined to the belief that she is telling the truth, It is true, however, that the footprirts of the man in ihe field led in the direction opposite that in which the girl says she saw him going. But it is thought that Randolph, being a stranger, had become confused, and was doubling on himself. The footprints in this field showed that they were made by shocs the exact size worn by Randolph, and the impres- sions in the soft earth showed a protruding nail in the sole of the right shoe. This nail shows in Randolph's shoe to correspond with that in the imprints in the earth. While Opera Warfeid is positive that she iS asseritug the truth, Mahala McAbee is equally positive. He saw no colored man, he says, and he don't intend to say so, ‘be- cause some people want him to. ‘The man whom he says he séw pjas a white tramp, and he was seated néar the fire, which was not many feet west of the railraad track. This statement about the white tramp has been corroborated. Man’s Story Confirmed. Mr. Beall, who lives near Ward's, saw the tramp, who wis 4 young man, and says that when the oulery was made he (the tramp) went to the Buxton house, and was there for some time. This tramp is now a badly wanted man, not that he is suspected of the crime, but that he may have seen the colored man cross the track, and may be able also to identify him. But he Is not likely to Be fund, for he would Probably be afraid We wks wanted on sus- Picion of being a partigipant in the hor- Tible affair and not Hs: a witness. It was supposed, 6f cdurse, that the fire may have been made in'the woods for the Purpose of destroying blood-stained cloth- ing, and although there may have been some buttons left in the ashes and charred Wood, none of the officials made a search for them. A search was made yesterday, however, by a party of reporters, and it Was evident that no clothing had been burned there. Ex-Justice Stonestreet, in Rockville, still has the much-talked-ef coat in his posses- jon, but is not exhibiting it. Thomas Munday, a resident of Rockville, who lived near where the coat was found, claims that the coat belonged to him, and had been thrown awey by his wife. He had worn the coai while using red paint, he said, and when he moved bis wife hung the coat on a fence post. There, he says, it was found by John Gray, who took it to Mr. Kelly's, and from there he thinks Jus- tice Stonestreet obtained it. All day yesterday was spent by the de- tectives in examining the witnesses, and this morning they went out to take up the investigation where they left off last night. | said in part MR. McADOO’S ADDRESS. He Speaks at the War College on Naval Administration. TEWPORT, R. L, June 2—The summer session of the Naval War College was opened today by the assistant secretary of the navy, Mr. McAdoo, who addressed the t embers of the college at length. The Assistant Secretary’s Speech. In opening Mr. McAdoo spoke of the suc- cess the Naval War College had been, and said it was doing a work for this coun- | try of an importance so great that It could not well be exaggerated. Continuing, he Force is yet, and will con- tinue to be for lorg ages, a prime factor in civilization. The diplomacy of a nation, however able, carries with it no weight unless backed by power, especially on the sea. War in a republic is apt to be more sudden and precipitous than under the most autocratic of monarchies, and we, as ® nation, have reached the point in ‘our | career where, whether we will or not, we are obliged from inexorable cireumstances to assume great international responsibil- ity and obligations, more especially on this hemisphere. He must he whoily ignorant of the existing facts around us and un- observant of recent occurrences and thelr significance who does not ‘realize how much naval strength makes for our peace, the security of our rights, our commercial Brewth and the assured success of our policies. A proper navy would Go more to Secure peace for the United States than endless speeches and pacific resolutions. It is not the armed but the unarmed nations that are in danger of war, spotation and outrage. In the political world, as in the natural, inertia and stagnation mean death; activity and the contest of opposing forces stand for life. This country of ours can- not stand still, nor can it evade the awful respons‘bilitivs ef destiny «nd environ- ment. The accidents of time may retard, but they cannot prevent the greal events of destiny. Naval Administration. “The subejet which I have chosen for today’s address is ‘Naval Administration.’ 1 think you will all agree with me that however able the personnel of the navy may be, however excellent the material, un- less the establishment as a whole is weil organized and properly adminisiered the navy cannot be efficient. A bad or lax administration in time of peace makes a navy incapable of carrying out the wisest solutions of any problem in time of war. A weak, foolish or worse administration of the navy would discount all the bravery and ability of the military units that go to make up the organization. The best troops will fail in the hands of a commander in whom they have no confidence; the best business will be wrecked if those at the head are incapable of executing its af- fairs. The machinery of naval administra- jon is complex and more difficult to han- die in many ways than t of other branches of the government. I want the navy to be popular, because it deserves to be, and in a government like ours all in- stitutions depend upon the good will and support of the people, who, being in the main highly intelligent, demand reasons for the existence of everything around them. No one can realize better than the civilian head of the navy that while the navy is a great and important branch of the government, it is not all the govern- ment, and the different parts of the govern- mental machinery are correlated, and they all are subject to the policies, conditions and even passions of the times. It is a task requiring great judgment and mark- ed ability, and it is not amiss for me to say, as this administration nears its close, that the present Secretary has shown him- self equal to meeting it.” A Seeretary*s Difficulties. ‘The assistant secretary then referred to some of the duties imposed on the head of ‘he Navy Dapartment and the importance of the Selection of his profssional advisors, and said his duties were mere onerous and Tesponsille under our system than under that of England. Continuing, he said: ‘Our present naval admialstration, under xisting law, is well and wisely adminis- tered, and yet I fully believe that in the event of wer it would of recessity have to be changed and modified in many re- specis, both with regard to the efficiency of the personnel and material. I think that it would be wise if the Secretary of the Navy, on coming into office, could ve given by law authority to call, if he so desired it, into his councils additional pro- fessional advisore, and so arrarge the ex- isting systera that it could set with less friction, greater adapatlity to circum- Stances, and produce quicker results, with possible secresy to the government. i think I am not mistating the cise when 1 soy that the great number of temporary boards called rapidly into being to pass upon manifold questions regarding the ma- terial and other questions shows that the secretariate finds itseif frequently in need of advisors near at hand to pass upon numerous professional questions demanding an immediate A Composite Board. Further or in his remarks Mr. McAdoo spoke of national! defen: and in this con- mection argued for a close connection on this subject between the army and the wavy. He hoped to see the time when there would be a board composed of army and navy oflicers, and called a board for the military defense of the Urited States. In conciusion, be ceclared that, earnestly concerned for the success of the navy, he sincerely trusted tnat thcse imto whose hands in the future its administration would be entrusted would continue, as their predecessors of all parties in the past have done, to treat the navy as @ national institution, far removed from all partisan and personal considerations, and entitled to a broad and catholic treatment on high rational grounds. eee the Stevenson-Hardin ‘Nuptials, The preparation of floral decorations at a wedding pf distinction has now %e20me a fine art, Those having the honor of being present at the Stevenson-Hardin nuptials tonight will have an opportunity to note ene of the most magnificent floral displ ever attempted in Washington.

Paul Crutchett, a white boy eighteen years old, was arraigned before Judge Kimball in the Police Court this morning on a charge of disorderly coniuct in a Pennsylvania avenue herdic, preferred by one of the passengers. The complainant testified that Crutchett and three com- panions were boisterous and disorderly in the coach and became offensive when he protested against their conduct. When the complainant left the herdic at his destina- tion the four young men, headed by Crut- chett, followed him and tried to incite a personal encounter. Crutehett was arrest- ed at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and llth street and taken to station No. 1, where he remained until collateral was fur- nished later in the evening by his com- panions. Crutchett and the other boys | told their version of the story, but a case | of diserderly conduct was made out, and | Judge Kimball gave him a lecture, dwell- ing especially on the necessity of protecting passengers in public conveyances, particu- lariy the herdics, where the driver is pow- | erless to preserve order. He said that the | | Do action of the boys in leaving the herdic in the endeavor to pick a fight, was repre- Lensible, and, after reprimanding the de- tendant and his companions, he released Crutchett on bis personal bonds, after con- sulting with the boy's father and with the ! complainant. i Before they left the court room, however, | all four of the boys were rearrested and taken back to station house No. 1, on a more serious charge. It was alleged that z. while the three who were at liberty were endeavoring to secure the re- lease of Crutchett, a man in the adjoining cell, who had been arrested for being | drunk, gave to one of the boys a valuable | ring, which, it is sald, he asked to have pawned in order that he might be given his liberty. “Phe charge is that the boys pawn- ed the ring and used the proceeds for the ase of Crutchett, in consequence of which the gentleman spent the night in the station house, minus his ring and his money. RUMORED REMOVAL. Not Thonght Mr. Blaine’s Redy Will Be Taken to Augusta. A telegraphic dispatch from Auguste, Me., says that Mrs. James G. Blaine, hav- ing determined to make her future home at Augusta, has decided to remove the bedies of Her husband and son from Oak Hill cemetery to Forest Hill cemetery, having purchased a three-acre jot on the brow of “Burnt Hill,” overlooking Au- gusta. The removal of the remains, ec- cording to the dispatch, will be made early this month. A Star repcrter called on Superintendent J. Taylor Motter at Oak Hill cemetery this afternoon in regard to the matter. M Motter stated that the cemeiery ofilcials had not r ved any intimation as to the removal of the remains, and he hardly thought that the bodies would be removed. Shortly before his death Mr. Blaine pu chased one lot in the cemetery, and just after the death of his son Walker pur- chased an adjoining lot, both being large enough for twelve graves, or thirty-six interments. In the two lots are at pre! ent interred the remains of Mrs. Coppin- ger and Walker Blaine and James G. Blaine, the father of the two.
