House Committee Would Turn
Militia Into Volunteer
Army. -
Vashingtou. To nrnk th militia
avaliabl for oervue In forergn war,
it it now propose! to convert It into
a volunteer arm)' by amending the
lack law. In conference with several
t ffiowrs of the National Guard, several
- aienibera of tV house committee oa
JniMtary a fairs have formulated a bill
hSch they think will overcome th
Constitutional 'objection to the pre
cnt organtutlon of militia a set forth
la the opinion of the attorney -general.
When the Dick bill maa enacted It
. tra assumed by officer of the Na
tional Guard that the state militia was
wade available for any sort of service
when called out by the president, The
fret Intimation that this was not true
came In the opinion of the attorney
genera. published recently. , This
leaves the National .Guard In an em
barrassing situation.
, Vnder the proposed plan the presi
dent will be authorised to call out all
or a part of the National Guard when
ver the necessities of the service are
greater than can be performed by the
regular army. It will be urged that it
Is highly important that this legist
tioa should be passed without delay
on account of the probability of the
aeed or the state troops tn Mexico.
Terminals Must be Reported On.
In the future the army engineers, in
reporting on new river and harbor pro
jects, will inciuaa in ineir reports
comprehensive statements regarding
terminal facilities on the various land
harbors proposed to be improved
Similar reports will also' be called for
on existing projects which are under
Improvements by the federal govern
ment j
The river and harbor bill now be
fore the house of representatives re
quires that reports on new projects
shall contain all available data in re
gard to "the existence and establish
ment of both private and public ter
minal and transfer facilities contigu
ous to the navigable water proposed
to be improved, and, if water termin
als have been constructed, the general
location, aescnpuon ana use muae 01
the same, with an opinion as to their
adequacy and efficiency whether pub
lic or private. i
May Revive Apple Bait Controversy.
The agreement reached recently to
eliminate from the Sulzer bill all ref
erence to the apple box has not defin
itely settled the question. The agree
ment means merely that this question
lias been put, over for future consider
ation, and probably will be revived at
tve next session of congress.
When the bill came up there was
considerable difference of opinion as
to what should be the standard apple
box. The western growers contended
for the present box as the standard,
claiming it had been developed after
years of experiments.
The Sulzer bill, which was drafted
at the request of eastern commission
merchants, undertook to increase the
size of the box, but there developed no
essential reason why the box they
fixed upon was In any way preferable
to the box now in use in the west.
Fisher Opposes Homestead Bill.
The conference committee on the
Borah-Jones three-year homestead bill
gave a three-houring hearing to Secre
tary Fisher, who manifested marked
objection to the bill as It passed both
bouses, and advocated rigid amend
ments similar to those voted down
when the bill was considered by the
house. Friends of the bill are consid
erably alarmed over Fisher's opposi
tion, particularly as it is believed that
he will recommend a veto of the bill
Unless It is amended to meet his
View.
Western friends of the measure are
stoutly opposed to making any mater
ial changes in rtie bill, as such
changes will impair its usefulness. In
the light of the recent veto of the
burned timber bill on Fisher's recom
mendation, they are apprehensive that
the three-year homestead bill may
ffiwt the same fate, unless Fisher's
t;rms are complied with.
