May was not "aDDointed'- to command of the regi ment but was merely reassigned to the post upon" the failure of Colonel North to meet the war department's require ments in order to permit the federaliza tioii of the Oregon guard. A colonel IS elected to command of the regiment by the field officers Of the regiment.

He held the post until April 1, when he assumed the poet of adjutant general, Following his resignation as adjutant treneral . he: was placed on the unas- stgned list as are all commissioned 0f4 f icers who do not have a command, lot any reason whatsoever. "Following the federal; Inspection which occurred durmg the latter half of June, report of which was received dur ing July, - it was found, that .Colonel North failed to qualiry according to the requirements of the war depart ment," General i Stafrin's statement reads.

He was, therefore, ordered from the un assigned list back to the command of this regiment to function as the colonel thereof until federal recognition could be secured for the entire regiment. -."In spite of the fact that this officer was the only officer who could qualify, and in ' spite of the fact that his mili tary experience with the national guard and regular army covers more than 30 years, and in spite Of the fact that it Was only at the request of these head quarters that he consented to perform the arduous duties incident to final preparation of this regiment .for federal approval, a. portion of the press of this state, apparently controlled by a very few disgruntled officers and individuals, attacked him so shamelessly he requested on August 1 that he be relieved of all responsibility " whatsoever regarding this regiment. As a result there is no regi mental organization in this state and Oregon has only 11 separate companies. "It is a matter of keen regret to these headquarters that the military, and, in- j cldentally, the civil, welfare of the state o. pregon should be so seriously Jeop ardised at a time when the entire coun try ia. under the sway of a certain- mad ness, as .illustrated by the conditions now prevailing 1ft Chicago. -.

BOTS DEH'tf K If OW LED 618 The boys admitted having been hunt ing in the neighborfceodwhere, the girl was killed, but claim net to.haye been on the same road. An Investigation IS being made and the boys are being ques tioned as to their actions Sunday. Both boys bear good reputations and it was only the uncommon calibre of the. gun they used that caused their arrest. The boys were questioned closely-'by the officers but they deny any knowl edge of the murder. The Howell boy admits that he Was near to where the girl's body was. found at about the time she might have passed there Sunday evening but says he had separated from the other boy and was on his way home and . did not at that time fire his gun.
