THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1913., P05IS WILL BE CONCENTRATED Vancouver Barracks and Fort Lawton, However, Probably Will Be Enlarged. SMALL GARRISONS USELESS Department Recognizes Need of Fa cilities tor Drill in Brigade Formation, Lack of Which Impairs Efficiency. OREOOXIAM NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash ington. May 4. Unless tbere is a change of policy on the part of the present Administration, many of the smaller Army posts in the West will be abolished and the troops be concen trated at regimental or brigade posts near important large cities. Secretary Garrison has deep admira tion for General Wood's ideas with regard to upbuilding the military arm of the Government. General Wood was retained as Chief of Staff, and will serve out bis four-year assignment. which terminates next April, although the chairman of the House military committee was strongly In favor of replacing him with an officer of less decided views on Army reform. Soon after It was announced that General Wood would continue as Chief ot Staff. Secretary Garrison Issued statement Indorsing- General Wood's views with regard to short-term ellst ments and the upbuilding of the state militia, two questions on which the Democrats of the House disagreed with the General. Xow the Secretary of War indorses another of General Wood's ideas, that of abolishing the small. In terior posts which were located In the days of frontier troubles and are no Jonger considered of strategetlc im portance. Details Are I'adetermlaed. How or when the War Departmen will begin the abandonment of the small posts has not yet been deter mined, for Secretary Garrison is study' lng the concentration of troops In reg 1 mental as well as brigade posts, and until he reaches a decision on that point the small posts are likely to re main undisturbed. It is believed In military circles, however, that the time is not far distant when some of the small posts will have to go. The be ginning Is likely to be made with posts which are now practically without garrison. In the Northwest the concentration plan will result In abandoning Fort George Wright, near Spokane: Boise Barracks, which now has no garrison; Fort Harrison. Mont., which Is In the same status, and Fort Missoula, at the town of Missoula, and it Is possible that Fort Douglas. Utah, may also be placed on the list of those to be aban doned. None of the coast defense posts will be abolished, however, their number may ultimately be increased. Troops at the small posts must be drilled In companies or battalions, and, except during the few weeks of a Summer encampment, they get no field ' training with regiments or brigades. It is the opinion of Army officers that the lack of this training, which would be possible at large posts, seriously - handicaps the Army and impairs its ef ficiency. Vancouver May Be Enlarged. Vancouver Barracks will not be abandoned. It Is likely to be en larged, for it has allthe advantages of an Ideal post, being convenient to both rail and water transportation and near a large city from which It can draw supplies. At the same time. It Is not probable that Fort Lawton. near Seattle, will be abandoned, for it has similar ad vantages to those found at Vancouver Barracks, and ' officers who have In spected this post pronounce it Ideally located, as they also report on Van couver Barracks. It Is probable, in the light of reports made to the War Department, that Fort Lawton will be enlarged to regimental size, especially if Fort Wright Is abandoned. There are many officers Inclined to the opinion that the ultimate solution of the situation in the Pacific North west will resolve itself into the adop tion of the recommendation made last Fall that both Vancouver Barracks and Fort Lawton be retained as regimental posts, and that a third regimental post be. established at American Lake, near Tacoma, where another ideal site Is to be had. If this plan be adopted, the Government will buy sufficient land at American Lake to make a maneuver ground for a " brigade, so that the troops at all three posts can be con centrated there at the will of the bri gade commander for field practice, and at other times can Indulge in regi mental drills and field work at the respective posts.

Friends or Estranged Parents Say Girl Has Improved Sin;e She Has Found Home Recent Escapade Is Recalled. NEW YORK, May 4. Friends of the family of Gail Borden, the millionaire milk dealer, say that his daughter. Romona, who escaped recently from a sanitarium where he had placed her. is now happy In the care of her mother, and her health is much improved, prov ing thus far, at least, that Romona was right when she said that she was not physically or mentally ill so much ss she was lonesome and in need of a home when she escaped from those who had been appointed to take care of her. Borden and his wife have been sepa rated for several years. Mr. Borden has been caring for his daughter, and Mrs. Borden has been living In Call f -rnia. The girl's escape from the sani tarium last month was her second esca. pade. It was concealed for a time, her attendants first declaring that she had been returned to them. A great force r.f detectives, however, was employed, an-l she was found In one of the lead ing hotels of Boston in company with another young woman. Mr. Borden was r. early prostrated by the strain of the search for her. and when they were re united he decided to drop proceedings. No one was prosecuted. Roraona's mother came East and by agreement with her husband took Ro mona West with her. The girl Is said to have been much Improved alread as a tesult of having found a home and a mother's care. Fr.ends of the family were asked to day whether there was a prospect of reconciliation of the parents, but said they had no information on the subject. CONVICTS BUILD CELLS VTARDEX SORRY TO SEE IRON WORKERS LEAVE PRISOX. More Work Done oy Convicted Dyna mite Conspirators in Few Months Than in Tear Preceding. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., May 4. (Spe cial.) Only 13 of the 33 men convicted of complicity In the dynamite plots at Indianapolis last Winter are now left In the Federal prison, the others having been released on bond. These 13 men nearly all are engaged on the steel work of the new cellhouses at the prison and more work In that line has been done In the last four months by these men than was done In the year before by the unskilled convicts who had been on the Job. For this reason Warden MeClaughry Is sorry to see the men go. The work was being done better at a much less cost to the Government. All of the men still In prison on con viction of conspiracy In the dynamite cases expect to be freed on bond, ex cept Herbert Hockin, who has a six year sentence. Hockin Is an Ironwork er, but Is not employed at that work because of the feeling against him among the other 14. It was disclosed at the trial that Hockin gave much of the information to Detective Burns which enabled him to arrest the other men. The prison officials fear that Hockin might "accidentally" be killed or maimed if he worked with the oth er ironworkers. Hockin refused to appeal his case. It Is said he expects after a year or so to be pardoned for the information he gave. PERSON ALMENTION. Mrs. M. Cline. of Salem, Is at the Carlton. James E. Bannon, of Pendleton, la at the Annex.

Governor Cox will have an opportunity t n n..t a -u Hat a n 1 1 a 1 narlv mAr.hfnfl in U ,.. .a.. !, l,A n mftnth owing to the many appointments which ne win majte.

Until the final days of the session it appeared as If the Governor would get In the bad graces of the labor element. but their grievances for the most part were adjusted by Assemblymen. It Is apparent, however, that the labor lead ers expect Cox to accomplish consider able for them at the special session of the Legislature next January. Their deepest disappointment lies in the failure of their blacklist bill.
