A new militia law will be intro- duced at the January session of the general assembly and the first draft of the proposed law will be in the hands of the governor within a few days. One of the provisions will make it an offense punishable under the statutes for a member of the Rhode Island National Guard to be absent from regular drill without sufficient cause. It is proposed to combine the offices of quartermaster and adjutant general. It is proposed to have a state armory commission that would carry with it substantial salaries, as an en- gineer and at least one secretary would be required. The new law would a correct many details in the pri statutes which are declared lax, or faulty, or which cannot be fully en- forced. Other departments of the state are planning to present legislation which is considered necessary. The budget system will be presented which will provide for a clerk at a fat salary to prepare the budget, devoting all his time to the work and to have access to all books and papers of all state departments.

Now three of the re- ected applicants have renewed their Ipplications, which will be considered it the next council meeting, and at east one. councilman is of the opinion hat they will be:rejected again, as there has been no change in the con- ditions. He added it was voluntary on the part of the council to state, or not to state, the causes of rejec- tion. Through Attorney Benjamin H. Hew- itt, these teachers have brought suit against the Norwich & Westerly Trac- tion company and the Groton and Stonington Street Railway company: Miss Nellie Edmond of Westerly, Dan- iel Darn i ennie McCulloch and Miss Julia Sullivan. The suit is based on the action of the. trolley company in refusing to permit use of special rate school tickets, the same as are used by school pupils, as being a vio- lation of the federal statutes regu- lating the interstate commerce. The case has been lodged with the inter- state commerce commission. Attorney Hewitt says it is universal custom for teachers to ride at the same rate as pupils in going to and from school.
