OREGONTAN. PORTLAND. APRIL 7. 1912. MILITIA CANNOT JON nyasio Dick Law Will Need Amend ment to Make National Guard Available. WAY AROUND IS SUGGESTED Provision Thai Members ot Slate Force Shall Enroll In Regular Army I Dluseil Result I Vncertaln Question. OP.EGON'rAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March I. The opinion of the .Vttorney-Oeneral that the President annot all out the oraaniseu militia of the severs! states for service In i foreign country In time of peace Is ab aolutrly binding upon the President, notwithstanding the view held by many militia of Art re that the IMck law pro vides to the contrary. The Attorney fieneral bases nl opinion upon the Federal Constitution. The opinion of the Attorney-General waa given In re sponse to a quertlon propounded by the Secretary of V ar. The Secretary asked whether or not. under existing lawn, the President has authority to call forth the organised Dillltla of the states and send It Into a foreign country with the regular Army aa a rart of an army of occupa tion, especially should the I nitea Ptates Intervene In the affairs of such country umler conditions short of ac tual warfare? (laeatloa Answered la eaale. The Attorney-General answers this question In the negative, and cites the Constitution aa giving to Congress the power "to raise and support armlea and to provide "for calling forth the militia to execute the lawa of the Union, auppress Insurrectlona and re pel Invasions." The Attorney-General then nyi: 'It Is certain that it Is only upon one or more of these three occasions when It la necessary to auppress in surrections, repel Invasions or to exe cute the laws of the United states that even Congress ran call this, militia Into the service of the I'nlted states or authorise It to be done." The Attorney-General points out that Insurrection Is necessarily within the I'nlted States, and even If an Insurrec tion of our citizens occurred In a for eign land the President could not send an armed force into that country to auppress such Insurrection without committing an act of war. The term "t' repel Invasion" Is more elastic says the Attorney-Generalr-amU "If the mllilU were called into the service of the general Government to repel an invasion, it would not be nec essary to discontinue their use at the boundary line, but they might (within certain limits, at least) pursue and cap ture the Invading force, even beyond that line; and Just aa the regular Army might be used for that purpose." Invasion f'oald Be Repelled. "Then, too." adds the Attorney-General, "if an armed force were assembled upon our borders, so near and under circumstances which plainly Indicated ' hostility and Intended Invasion, this Government might attack and cap tare or defeat such forces, using the regu lar Army or the militia for that pur pose. This would be one way of repel ling an Invasion. "But thta la quite different from and affords no warrant for sending the militia Into a foreign country In time of peace and when no Invasion Is made or threatened." The Attorney-General then shows that the phrase, "to execute the laws of the Union. does not Justify sending the militia to a foreign land, for the laws of the Union do not apply beyond our own boundaries. "When an army of occupation Is sent Into a foreign country to protect the lives and tha rights of our clttsens," says the Attorney-General, "no law of the Union ts being executed by auch Invasion, for no law of the Union exists, or can be enforced there. "While It Is the duty of every nation to afford proper protection to all who are lawfully within Its borders, yet thia la not because of any law of the nation ot which such foreigners are subjects. No one can say in auch a case that we are executing or enforcing any law of the Union. We are but aid ing or compelling the foreign govern ment to execute its own laws or to perform Its own duty. As no law of the Union Is being executed by such invasion the militia cannot be called out, under thla provision, to take part In It. Aa no law of the Union can exist or be enforced In any foreign eountry. the militia cannot be called out to enforce any such law there." All Otker I sea Forbidden. Concluding his opinion the Attorney General said: "I think that the constitutional pro vision here considered not only affords no warrant for the use of the militia by the general Government, except to auppreaa Insurrection, repel Invasion r to execute the laws of the Union, but. by Its careful enumeration of the three occasions or purposes for which the militia may be used. It forbids such use for any other purpose; and your question is answered In the negative." In view of the opinion of the Attorney-General. It becomes necessary to amend the law before the militia can be employed on a basla similar to the regular Army. Several achemea are now under advisement, and It la prob able that some provision will be made to thla end In the militia pay bill, now before Congress. One proposal la to Insert a paragraph providing that those members of the militia who qualify for pay shall enlist aa volunteers of the regular Army as well as atate troops. The War Department, however, ts pro posing a somewhat different plan. An amendment suggested by the Secre tary of War proposes to add to the pay bill this proviso: Trovlded. that In time of war or when war Is Imminent, or In other grave emergencies requiring the use of troops beyond the territorial limits of the United States In excess of tha regular Army, the I'resldent may draft, transfer to and embody with the regu lar or volunteer forces of the United fcitates any portion of the organised milltta having received pay under this act: and the portion so drafted, trans ferred and embodied shall be subject to the same laws and liable to the same dutlea and entitled to the same pay. emoluments and allowances as are the volunteer forces of the United States, and all enlistments In force In organi zations so drafted and transferred shall continue In force as if they were en listments In the regular Army." Democrats Hostile te Visa. Another provlao suggested by the Secretary of War atlpulatea that or ganizations taken Into the service of the United States shall be taken by regiments, brigades, divisions or Inde pendent and separate organizations, as the quota of each state may require. Including all regimental and brigade officers authorised by law. Every effort Is being made by some of the Influential members of the mili tary committees of Senate and House to pass the militia pay bill, with pro visions attached to overcome the ob jection raised by the Attorney-General, but the Democratic leaders of the House are understood to be hostile to the whole scheme, though not openly objecting to it- At this date It can hardly be said that the militia pay bill, with the accompanying amendments. Is In a position to become a law at this session, though it ts by no means cer tain the legislation will be killed off. WRECK BETRAYS BIGAMIST Wife No. 2 Gets Warrant for Brake man Now In Hospital.

The complaint was drawn here the State of Washington on the relation of T. It. Adams and Eva Adams, his wife, ra. Charles S. Irwin, as Mayor of Vancouver and passed up to Judge McMaster to sign, but he did not do so, being Interested In the Vancouver Na tional Bank, of which' Mr. Adama Is president. The bank sold the prop erty to the city, the Council voting to purchase It at about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, at a regular meeting of the Council, three voting against and four voting for the purchase. Mayer Irwta Explalaa. Mayor Irwin, when asked for an ex planation of his action, said: "There are several reasons why I refuse to sign the warrant. The proposed site Is not regular In shape; Is too far from the city; there Is no transporta tion: no water there: and another rea son Is that a tract adjoining it, nearer the city and just as desirable, can be bought for I1S0 art acre, which Is about f 60 per acre less than the Adams tract. I think that the site la not a desirable one and believe that It Is not the wish of the people of Vancouver that It be bought." The tract of 64 acres in question has created much discussion In this city since It first come to the notice of the Council last May. It was owned by four parties, William Tenney, a Coun cilman, being one These four sold the tract to E. J. Rankin, and he deeded It to the city, receiving a warrant for f 10.357, which was cashed by the Van couver National Bank, May 10. 1911. Lltlsratloa Is Avoided. Before the warrant was cashed. Sen ator Eastbam. for himself and other taxpayers, brought suit In the Superior Court to restrain D. E. Crandall, then City Treasurer, from paying the war rant. The case did not come to trial. T. H. Adams offered to cancel the war. rant If the city would deliver a deed for the property to him, as trustee for the bank. Thla avoided litigation, and was done. Several weeks ago advertisements were printed, asking for proposed sites for the cemetery. . Eight sites were offered for sale, among them be ing the Adams tract. A special meet ing was called, and the vote stood three for and three against the purchase of the Adams tract. Mayor Irwin voted against It, disposing of the matter tem porarily. Councilman Welgle was ab sent. Cemetery Matter Breagkt l's. At the regular meeting last Monday night, after much argument by tha Councllmen and Mayor, the Rowley tract was voted down.

Councilman Wright seconded the mo tion, which carried. William Tenney and Councilman Welgle voting with Wil kinson and Wright. Councllmen Win ters. Stoner and Whale opposed the motion.

SAINT IN JHE KITCHEN One Woman Who Escape the Usual Help Trouble, ntolnette B. Harvey In the Outlook. 1 Knra not with a KOld SPOOn, but with a g-old servant. In my mouth. During the 21 years I have kept house the maids who have used my home as k.iii,. nun on the highroad to matrimony have left pleasant mem ories. If It were me cueiom ful house mothers to erect tablets In .i.-i.- t to their aood and faithful servants, thera would now be some six or seven or tneso on my ith enviable Inscriptions, maieau ui erecting tablets. I am In this artlclo satisfying my sense oi junc ana m- Identally offering coninouuon i the literature of tha servant proDiem. Compared with my motners recora of one servant for 60 years, my own .vn servants, not counting a few who were not servants, but Just employes, In a lime over one-mim the time, seems discreditable. As to that I must leave the reader to Judge ifter hearing the facts. The mortality of my maids Is due, is I have hinted above, to the "com plaint" of matrimony. If old Mony, rhoae protruding ironi iwia w cuu- dren used to Imitate behind our geog raphies in the old academy, had been marriageable but she was not Suitors potential In my momer iiicura wr plentiful enough, but, tar rrom stop ping, like the flier In the story, they did not even "hesitate." as. in suc cessive generations, they speeded past the protruding teeth of our Molly's youth, maturity ana age. If Molly had been marriageaDie, sne might conceivably hava married, and . v. , .thr miarht have had an other servant, and another, and yet an. other. But Molly s being so out ot n lakes my mother's record out of it too. so far as I am concerned. 1 am In a different class; my servants have ill been marriageable.- a jk . i. . . prl.il too. and that rtsrht uu ..toy . - . early too early for my comfort and satisfaction.

I have not been tiling to try seriously to discourage them by setting forth the awful chances of the matrimonial lottery. Nor hava I, with the practical assur- .i - ht tha hanoler I seemed with my husband the sooner I should ex ...Wan,.. th nanri of nrematurel v parting ..with my maid, been willing to seem less happy than I was, in the hope of being more happy than I seemed likely to be. So maid after maid got married. As I had to teach even the best of them a good many points about how to buy economically (although I do the' buying), how to cook, and how to keep house generally points for which they were grateful, both at the time and In later years, and for which most of them have ex pressed their gratitude I have con sidered the propriety of advertising, when in need of a servant, somewhat as follows: A. A. A. FlnUhtng- chooI for maids bent on matrimony: instruction free; regular wages paid while learning. But the truth is I have never adver tised for a servant, and have been to an agency but three times in 23 years. This is due to the fact that my maida, to a considerable extent, have been self-replacing. There was, for exam ple, Katie, true to me for three years In spite of many Bultors. When she finally succumbed. It was with the of fer of a substitute. "Well, much as I want to, I can't Dut off the evil day any longer.

Consular Report. Experts In the human-hair trade In Hongkong are calling attention to me fact that the disposition of buyers of human hair In the United States to expect a great over supply of the ma terlal as a result of social and other changes, including queue cutting. In China Is likely to lead to disappoint ment. Instead of an over supply, the changes now going on are cutting off the chief source of supply in nina. and there la likely soon to be a decided falling away. The situation hinges upon the dispo sition of the queues of Chinese men. Contrary to the general impression In the United States and Europe, the queues, when cut. are not sold. This Is an absolute rule, so far as South China is concerned, and It Is the custom all over those portions of China from which the writer has been able to secure reliable data on this subject. The queue when cut, are preserved, according to .general statement, for burial with the owner. The chief supply has come from Chi nese barber shops, where, in the course of shaving portions of tha heads of cus tomers, considerable long hair Is acci dentally removed. Now that the queues are cut. however, Chinese barbers have no more long hair to dispose of than barbers In the United States.

As it Is, prices here are re maining firm In spite of an indisposi tion on the part of foreign buyers t'.' meet them. The declared value of exports of hu man hair from Hongkong to the United States In 1911 was $292,758, as com pared with $695,137 in 1910, $327,559 in 1909 and $92,209 In 1908. Shipments from the Hongkong market In 1911 to all countries were much larger in vol ume than the year before, aggregating 1,769,833 pounds in contrast to about 1,200,000 pounds in 1910. A great pro portion of the shipments, however, was of low grade hair, used for various purposes other than for false hair for example, a new haircloth, mattress filling and the like. It Is doubtful If the total value of the season's ship ments will exceed $900,000, gold, as compared with an aggregate'of $1,500, 000 a year ago. There is every indica tion, however, that prices will range much higher for 1912. HILLMAN BEGS FOR STAY Millionaire Realty Dealer Don't Want to Go to Prison Yet. SEATTLE. Wash., April 6.

HOW THE JAPANESE ALWAYS REMAIN SLENDER WELL KNOWN SCIENTIST AND TRAVELER DISCOVERS I.OXO SOUGHT SECRET REDUCED HIS OWN WEIGHT 100 POl'XDS. NO OXE NEED REMAIN FAT NOW. How to Rednre Fat One Pound a Day and Then Alwaya Remain Slim. No Drasra, Medicines, Starvation Diet, Exerclsinfr, or Apparatus I'sed. KlniU Simple Home Treat ment Works Wonders. Arrangements Now "Made to Have All Stoat Readers of Thin I'aner Receive a Free Copy of Dr. Turner's Won derful Book, "How I Reduced My Wel-ht 100 Founds." In an Interview accorded upon his return from a long trip. Dr. F. Turner. the physician, scientist and traveler, widely known for his scientific re searches, and whose writings have brought him international reputation, gave some valuable Information to those who were astounded by his loss of more than 100 pounds of excessive fat since they last saw him. They found It difficult, indeed, to recognize In the slender, muscular and perfectly proportioned form of Dr. Turner today, the same man whom only a few months mAvlouslv thev knew as a semi-in valid, so enormously fat that he could hardly walk. whpn ouestloned concerning his health and the remarkable change In his appearance. Dr. Turner said: "Mv discovery came about during my trip and in this way: When seeking data for some literary work, I found a reference to the manner in which the Japanese were said to easily overcome anv tendency to take on superfluous flesh. It was easily apparent from ob servation that the Japs are compara tively heavy eaters and that their diet consists largely of rice, the most starchy and therefore the most fat forming of all grains. I had often won dered why. In spite of these facts, the natives of Japan, both men and women, always present such a slender, trim, neat appearance. Although corsets are rare In that country, the women there have beautiful figures that any Ameri can woman might well envy, and the Japanese men have strength and pow ers of endurance that are proverbial. After diligent Inquiry about the cause of this, I became more than ever con vinced that they were using there In Japan methods of fat reduction and fat pieventlon far in advance of anything known to medical science in this coun try. As the finding of such a method was a matter of life or death to me at that time, I consulted numerous author ities anil set about, asking questions of those who woujd be likely to know any. thing about it. I am glad to say that my untiring enoriu were imaiiy re warded bv the discovery ot a new means of fat reduction that I deter mined to give a short trial immediate ly. I was fairly startled to behold the wonderful change it made In my ap pearance, and the improvement In my, health that was noticeable from the very first. My fat began to vanish at I the rate of one pound a day, sometime! more. I Knew i naa at last oiscovere the secret that had been vainly sought for years, and I continued the treat ment until I had lost more than 100 pounds in weight. I became stronger with every pound I lost, and soon re gained all my old time vigor of bodv and mind. It made me feel twenty years younger to be rid of all the fat that had formed Inside and outside of my body. After discontinuing th-5 treatment and keeping a careful record of my weight for more than two months. I was delighted to find that reduction was permament, nor has all my fat shown the slightest tendency to return since then." Dr. Turner then went on to explain the treatment he discovered and while anyone must admit that it is a highly logical method and undoubtedly effec tive to a wonderful degree, yet it Is so simple that even a child can understand It and obtain most satisfactory results. Surely, in view ot all these proven facts, no stout person need any longer feel that he or she must remain fat now. Lack of space prevents a full description of the entire method here, but. Dr. Turner has described it in a handsomely bound and extremelv in teresting little booklet entitled. "How I Reduced My Weight 100 Pounds," and by special arrangement with the Doc tor we are able to announce that these valuable booklets, while they last, are to be distributed absolutely free to those of our readers who are suffi ciently interested to send a two-cent stamp for postage. The books are sent in plain wrapping and we are told that there are only about 1000 of the last edition left. When these are gone the Doctor may not have any more printed, as lie says that extensive business and profes sional interests will demand all his time from now on and a!so he may de part on another long trip at any time, so will probably have no time to give the matter personal attention again for several months at least.
