Adjutant-General Finzer Eec
ojjmends But One Change
in His Report
Showing the . Oregon National
Guard to be In a high state of effi
ciency, and that but one change is
necessary to bring the organization
up to a regular army basis, the bien
nial report of the military depart
ment of the state was submitted Sat
urday to - Governor Chamberlain by
Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer, says,
the Telegram. '
The "report, which contains re
ports from subordinate omcers ana
records every official action of the
State National Guard during . the
year ending November 1, 1908, con
tains many Important recommenda
tions and states that with the add!
tlon of four companies of Infantry
to the Fourth Oregon, with head
quarters at Eugene, which will be
organized In the early future, the
organization of the Oregon National
Guard will 'be up to the army basis,
the war department having allowed
the reorganization until January 20,
1910.
In hia report. General Finzer lays
particular stress on the necessity of
armories and suggests that all coun
ties having guard organizations pro
vide suitable armories, which could
be used as public halls when not
occupied by the militia.
The report also contains other
recommendations, the principal of
which are that paymasters be allowed
to draw funds In advance of camps
of Instruction for pay and subsist
ence, which would Bave the annoy
ance occasioned by the present .sys
tem. It recommends that troops be
supplied with cots Instead of the
sleeping bags. Cots are used in the
regular army and -are found to add
Infinitely to the comfort and en
durance of the men.

Nashvilft. Tenn., Dec. 8. The
cases of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Rob
In Cooper and John D. Sharp who
are charged with the murder- of ex
United States Senator Edward W.
Carmack, were on the docket of the
crimliftl court for trial today. The
defenft desires a continuance until
the January term to give them more
time-to prepare for trial. The dis
trict attorney, on the other hand. Is
pressing' for an immediate, trial.
Many visitors of prominence came
to Nashville .In anticipation of, the
hearing. The trial Itself promises to
be one of the notable In. the latter
history of the !iith, owing to the
fact that the fiied between Carmack
and the Coopers, which culmated In
the tragedy of November 9, involved
many men prominent In Tennessee
politics.
The plan of the defense has not
been made public, though the pre
vailing opinion Is that a plea of self
defense will be made. This is In
line with the claim made by the
friends of Cooper that the affair was
merely a street duel, in which both
sides met and began firing; that the
Coopers had tried to avoid a meeting
with Mr, Carmack, and that they
were on their way to the state cap
Itol in response to a telephone mas
sage from Governor Patterson when
the tragedy occurred.
The prosecution on the other hand,
will . contend that it was a case of
premeditated murder, the result of
conspiracy, pure and simple; that
Mr. Carmack was waylaid and assi
nated while he was on his way to
his hoarding house; that when he
left his office the fact was telephoned
from a house nereby, and that thus
the Coopers were notified that the
editor was on his way and to be on
the alert.

Miss Eureka Willits , Become3
' Afflicted With Dementia
At Marshfield
Miss Eureka Wllllts, whose parents
reside at Junction City, Or,, arrived
In Marshfield this week over the
Drain stage line, says the Times. She
suddenly became demented while at
the Blanco hotel and had to be taken
to the state hospital for the insane
at Salem today. She left in the care
of a nurse on the Breakwater.
Miss Wilius is about thirty years
old and apparently well Sducated.
She came here, as near as could be
learned, upon the "advice of a friend
named Smith. The latter met her at
the hotel. He was not known to the
management of the hotel., When it
was discovered that she was deranged
the hotel manager Insisted that he
look after her, which he did. Finally
her parents were communicated with
and they ordered her cared for at
their expense,- and It Is Btated they
will meet her in Portland. Whether
the strenuous stage trip here caused
a nervous breakdown or not the phy
sicians were unable to determine.
She did not grow violent, but suf
fered from strange hallucinations.
