This regiment will probably be the
first to be mustered out, and the i'm
preston seems to be that they will be
released from the service on their ar
rival in Vermont This is attributed
to the governor of Vermont who, it
is stated, has used all of his efforts to
keep the regiment out of the service.
1t is stated that he was opposed to
declaration of war and was opposed
to the ordering out of the Vermont
troops. 1t is said that after the reg
iment was ordered to Chickamauga
he used all of his influence to restrain
the war department from sending the
regiment to the front, and now that
the war is over, and as he did not
want the boys to do garrison duty in
Cuba or Porto Rico, he has worked
theoretically to have regimentreturn-
ed to Vermont. In this he has sue
ceeded, and will no doubt have the
men mustered out of the service when
they arrive at Fort Ethan Allen

Civilians In soldier Clothes.

There is an entire absence of law
protecting the army uniforms" OBJ
served an army officer to a reporter,
"and, peculiar as 1t may seem, it is
not violation of law, military or civil,
for any unauthorized person to wear
the uniform OF an officer or soldier.
In other words, II would not violate
any law II any one paraded the streets
attired In the full military uniform OF
general. colonel or other officer. In
Europe It is entirely different, and II
an unauthorized person publicly wore
the uniform Of An army or naval Of
ficer without authority he would be
gobbled up, stripped of his military or
naval fixings and would have a long
stay in prison for his offence. There
have been number of efforts in this
country in the State Legislatures to
make 1t crime to wear the uniform,
without proper legal authority, of an
officer of the State National Guard or
militia, but somehow they were never
crystallized into law. The offence does
not often occur, but should it happen,
and 1t has happened sometimes, there
is no penalty. OF course, if an unau-
thorized person committed any offense
against the law, such as false pre-
fences, he would be liable to punish
ment under the general law to prevent
frauds.
"There is brass band in New York
city each member of which wears
Generals uniform, with the stars
the shoulders, and some of the Ma
tional Guard Of that city tried to have
it abolished under existing law, but
they failed to do so. The Grand Army
badge and button, as also the badge of
the Union Veteran Legion, and the
Regular Army and Navy Union and of
the Mexican Veterans Union, are pro-
tected to some extent by law, in that
the regulations of the army and navy
provide that those entitled to them can
wear them on certain official occasions,
but even they are not as fully pro-
tected by law as they should be.
"The same absence Of protection, le-
gal protection, l mean, exists in rela-
ton to wearing the medal Of honor
awarded by Congress, and it is known
that certain persons have medals of
that kind and have worn them without
the authority of Congress. The bow of
the American Legion Of Honor is, how
ever, provided for by law, and it is a
violation of law for any unauthorized
person to have or wear it."

Satisfactory Assurances Given by
New York Bankers.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Secretary Gage
returned this morning from New York. where
he had a conference yesterday with promi-
nent bankers in regard to the proposed bon1
issue for raising war fund
In speaking today of the conference the sec
rotary said that the principal purpose of his
visit to New York to obtain from promi-
nent fnanciers and capitalists their views on
the proposed bond issue. He had no definite
proposition to make and none was expected
from the bankers. The result of the conefer-
ence however, was emniently satisfactory
All seemed disposed to do anything and
everything possible to give any needed finan-
cial support to the government in the present
emergency, although there would be no finan
cial inducement for capitalists to invest In
per cent bonds when time loans were bring
ing per cent and even more.
All favored the popular loan idea and
thought that the people should be given an
opportunity to invest in the new issue Some
of the bankers expressed doubt as to the
ability of the government to place among
people of small means as much as 500 COO O,)5
of the bonds at 8 per cent especially as
many of the savings banks throughout the
country were paying 3R and per cent
However, they were willing to assist in dispos-
ing of whatever was left. and they had no
doubt that the whole amount offered would he
subscribed for at once, and possibly two or
three times over.
Nest of the bankers present thought that
the present issue should be $780, 900 900 War
though there might not be need for that
amount, in all probability there would be.
and in any event it was always best to be
prepared for every contingency. This amount
with the 1920 COO, 900 now in the treasury ana
the 500. 900 900 year which 1t is thought
will be raised by the pending war revenue
bill will put the finances of the country on

They Ouit "Monkeylng."

The Kiefer- Erwin combination do
not feel as elated now as they did Mon
day. Then they thought that they had
fixed up the official ballot so as to make
the election of Kiefer a sure thing.
They chuckled as they looked at the
scatteration of the candidates Of the
Democrat-Citizens which they had
made, and they nudged each other in
the ribs and admitted that they were
all helovafellers Little things like
statutes are easily lodged when
adopts sit into the game. And the En-
whites rubbed their hands in antici-
patton of what was to come when the
returns showed that their share in the
game had been faithfully performed.
They were a jolly crowd, and, it is
said, they all rode home in the morn
ing in cabs.
All of this precious gang of petty in
triguers come out of the Scrimmage
they invited very much disfigured, but
none so much so as Corporation Attor-
ney Markham. Back of him may have
been others, Erwin, Scannell, Richard
son ct al, who concocted the scheme,
with Jensen, the clerk, a sort of willing
Mr.. Markham gave the whole proceed
ing the aspect of legality. He framed
the opinion which the city clerk gave
as the excuse for his 'mOnkeying-
whether before or after the act is i'm
material-and he appeared and soberly
argued the legitimacy of the trick. The
court left absolutely not shred of
legal reputation to cover the profess
sional nakedness of the city's attorney.
Not one point was sustained; no inch
of ground was left under his feet. He
was routed, foot, horse and dragons.
He went into the game a professional
lawyer; he comes out of it only a pro-
fessional partisan.
This is not the first encounter Mr..
Markham, the partisan, has had with
the court in case where Markham,
the corporation attorney, tried to play
politics. Not very long ago he staked
his reputation that that other partisan
trick, by which it was attempted to
GUST the board of public works so that
Doran could install some of his bench
men, was a valid law. There was lit
tie left of that reputation by the time
the courts had done with it, Mr.. Mark
ham should retire. If he will not, he
should be retired. Evidently he
classes with the county attorney,
neither of whom is a lawyer" He may
not be even "a lawyer among clowns"
but he clearly is "a clown among law
yers."
Democrats will have to be on the
alert at the polls and at the counting
Of the vote. 1t was this same partisan
official who advised the council that
the Democrat-Citizens had no staining
as a political party, and, therefore, no
right to submit lists of names for the
selection of judges of election. This was
another bit of the game of the Kiefer-
Erwin combination. 1t puts the cleo
ton almost entirely in charge Of the
tools of the combination. If their work
is to be of a kind with that which the
court has just spoiled. Democrats will
heed to be alert or they will be cheated
out of their reward as they were two
years ago at the general election
