In California

who is the husband of Mrs. Clute, the
victim of a recent tragedy in San
Francisco, and whose murder is charg-
ed To Albert Hoff. had a thrilling eX-
perience in YOlO county last week. Mr..
Clute tells the Woodland Democrat of
his experience as follows:
Mr.. Clute and a companion named
Weaver were travelling in a double rig
on their way from Dixon to Woodland.
Upon Testo hing the canal at Putah
creek, below Davisville, they were sur
prised to find no bridge across the
channel. The country road leading to
the canal showed considerable travel.
AS there was no warning of danger.
they concluded that the stream was
fordable and proceeded directly across,
following in the line of the road.
They soon found themselves in about
eight feet of water and overturned in
their buggy. but Mr.. Clute and his
companion managed to reach the shore
They labOred for three hours before
they succeeded in getting out the team
and the buggy.

STRENGTHENING OUR ARMY
SECRETARY ALGER APPROVES
THE HULL BILL.
What 1t Contemplates In Time of
Peace-Progress Made By House
Committee On Military Affairs.

New York. March 19.-Secretary of
War Alger dictated the following state
ment to a Washington correspondent
of the World concerning the Hull bill,
recognizing the line of the army:
The Hull bill has my entire ap-
proval and L so told the president this
afternoon, in answer to a question from
him as 10 my notion of the measure
The organization. under this bill. in
time of peace, calls for so companies,
two companies to a station, a major
to each battalion, a lieutenant colonel
and a colonel to each regiment.
There are now ten companies, ac-
cording TO law, in each regiment, two
of which will be skeletonized under the
new plan, by which il is understood
that the officers of the two companies
remain for duty and are details to spe-
cific duty.
I'VE have 100 men at colleges and
places of learning where military tao
tics are taught, and we are enabled to
use these officers, under this bill, in
time of war.
THAT company where all enlisted
men are mustered out is called a skel-
eton company. Another good thing
about the Hull bill is that when a man
deserts he can never be restored and
afterward draw pension. In the pres
ent system we have many deserters
who have been restored"
Washington. March 19.-The military
affairs committee of the house held a
special meeting today to consider a bill
for the reorganization of the army. The
bill. in so far as it reorganizes the
army into what is known as the three
battalion form, met with the unan-
imOus approval of the members of the
committee. Some criticism was made
of the phraseology of the bill authoriZ-
ing the president lin time of war TO
expand the skeleton battalions and re-
cruit the regiments and companies UP
to the full strength provided for in the
bill" Some members desired the Ian
guage of the bill to forbid uneCuivo-
cally the strengthening of the army ex-
cept IN time of actual recognized and
declared war, and this suggestion was
unanimously concurred in, and the
change in the phraseology was ordered
The whole text of the bill was not
ogne over, but at the session on Mon
day it will be completed and reported
to the house for action.
