Discharges from the National Guard will nqt. be granted enlisted ‘men sole 'ly because they are.married, accord- ing to Instructions sent out to adju- tant generals by the military bureau. Where a soldier has independent means which will prevent his family from becoming a charge upon the government he.will not be mustered out, The war department has been flood- ed since the original order was is- sued with inquiries and protests from ‘both officers and men of the National ‘Guard, many of whom have heen dis- changed against their wishes because they were married men. A supplementary statement was necessary as National Guard regiments are being reduced to mere skeleton organizations by the rigid application of the dependent family rule. The war department is resolved, however, to relfeve the government of the necessity of taking care of the families of men wha join the colors. More than $4,000,000 was disbursed in this way as a result of the Mexican border mobilization. . Ruling on Alien Enemies.

W. Bullen excepted, they state that the law is being violated. The war department regulations, the officers state, expressly state: “It shall be un- lawful for any person not an officer or enlisted man in the United States .army, navy, or marine corps or any distinctive part of such uniform, or a uniform any part of which is similar to a distinctive part of the duly pre- scribed uniform of the United States army, navy or marine corps.” Fur- thermore the law provides that: “Any persons who offend against the pro- visions of this section shall, on con- viction be bunished by a fine not ex- ceeding $300, or by imprisonment not exceeding six-months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.” According to Lieutenant Griffin’s in- terpretation, the uniforms worn the privates of the City Guard are permissable since the buttons are not regulation army buttonsiand the hat cords: are positively distinctive from the regulation hat cords of the regu- lars. . Thus, the private's uniform can- not be mistaken for that of a regular, It is to the officers that this article refers, Lieutenant Griffin states. Colonel Bullen, by virtue of being a veteran and retired officer, has the privilege of wearing the insignia de- noting the highest rank he ever held the srmy. . He can wear his re- ‘galia. on -occasions of ceremony, such as vesterday. He cannot howsver, wear it for drilling the unrecognized City Guard, the lieutenant states, Lieutenant Griffin also stated that Captain Piper, First Lieutenant Mar- shall Cook and Second Lieutenant Shipps were evidently violating this law which would make them tech- nically liable to the above-mentioned punishment. All three of these officers, the lieutenant declares, wore the gold and black braided hat cords which designate rank in the regular army ,and they also wore the shoul- der bars which are also a *distinctive part of such uniform.” The same rule applies also to collar ornaments. Regarding the right of a former en- listed .man who has been honorably discharged from the service to wear his regulation buttons and hat cord, Lieutenant Griffin stated that the war department provisions are that such a man is entitled to wear his buttons and hat cords for only a period of \three months following his discharge. Both Lieutenant Griffin and Lieuten ant Harris state that they noticed several City Guardsmen yesterday who' wore either regulation buttons, hat cords or other insignia in violation of this provision. The rule governing the officers is that on special occasions they may wear their insignia of the highest rank they have held, while a private can wear his insignia for only three months following his discharge, The war department regulations further provide that actors and mov- ing picture actors, during their per- 1 formances, may wear any - and a army thsignias providing the play they are presenting does not reflect dis- credit on the United States arms, CONN.

Neither rivalry mor rate level nor regulation, nor all combined can be found on the record to have contributed in any ap- preciable degree to the disaster. “Nothing disclosed in the record be- fore us is more toibe regretted than the readiness of great banking insti- tutions in our financial centers to loan enormous sums oOf mongy upon . ex- ceedingly precarious security in aid of such schemes as have been devised in the wrecking of these railroads. “Not only this, but the high officers of such institutions, while acting os- tensibly as directors of the railroads, have, in fact, been little more than personal v | tools and dummies for the promoters. The ‘trustees of other people’s money seem to have little compunction about violations of their trosts, for the ben- efit of the promoters and at their de- mands.” = The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day- ton, the commission found, suffered “the evil of deferred maintenance al- most from the close of July 7, 1904, of the successful Shoemaker-Wood- ford management. = Considerable im- provement was made after the Balti- more and.Ohio took ovér the: but it did not continue and result was Itke that on the Pere ' uette.” State Control of Sectrities. Weak. “The exploitatiofi in 1903, 1904, and 1905 of the Pere Marquette and Cincinnati,, Hamilton and Dayton, “the report¥continues, ‘“was not an in- cident of railroad construction. What- ever control or regulation of the issue of railroad securities was exercised by the states in which thaese roads oper- ate was inadequate to prevent the ex- ploiting or to forestall subsequent, hasty and unwise reorganization. “To the extent that these flotations ultimately lodged in the hands of in- nocent investors, whether here or abroad, the public was deeply wronged. Whatever control or regu- lation was had of the properties and operation of the two roads, was not sufficient to keep them in condition to satisfactorily serve the population dependent upon them." The commission asks if the fate of these two railroads cannot serve to avert similar happenings to other roads in the future. “Perhaps not en- tirely,” the report continues, “so long ag the financial circles- continue com- placent toward financial exploitations which prove successful. But it will help if minority stockholders are more watchful of their interests and if bond holders assert their rights before their security fades away for lack of up- keep, purposely neglected in order to pay interest and dividends, unearned. It would, in our opinion, render such exploitation more difficult if the issu- ance and marketing of all securities of common carriers were subject to fed- eral regulation.” As, to that, we re- new the recommendation repeatedly made to congress in our annual re- vorts. We also point to the lesson here again taught that access to cor- respondence files is indispensable for a thorough and accurate understand- ing of the motives anad purposes which underHe the formal entries made . in accounts and records.” THREE KILLED BY BROKEN LIGHT WIRE Two Die Trying to Rescue First— Three Others Are Burned, One Seriously.
