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.

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.

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

At the regular meeting last Monday
night, after much argument by tha
Councllmen and Mayor, the Rowley
tract was voted down. Other business

Councilman Roy Wilkinson said that
he desired to have the cemetery ques
tion settled, so moved that the Adams
tract be bought at the original price,
with Interest at 4 per cent from May
10. 1911, to April 1. llt.

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

CHINESE SUPPLY OF HAIR
Sfany Queues Cut Will Not Re Sold,
but Burled.
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. A con

already is apparent, and but for tn:
hesitancy of American and other for
eign buyers to meet the market here,
prices for supplies locally would have
gone up. 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. Clarence
Dayton Hlllman, the millionaire real
estate dealer sentenced to the Federal
penitentiary for using the malls to de
fraud, today begged the Federal Court
of Appeals In Portland to give him a
stay of 30 days, in order that he might
set his vast business affairs in order
before entering McNeil's Island Peni
tentiary. The court refused.
Hlllman's action was a surprise to
the Federal officials, as he had given
them to understand that he wished to

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

proportioned form of Dr. Turner today,

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

ciently interested to send a two-cent

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. He therefore,
will not promise us to send the books
to any readers who do not write him
immediately. The Doctor's address is
