Topeka. April Ex-Governor Leedy
took action yesterday which practically
disarms the state national guard and
there is every Indication that Kansas
will have no troops ready for service out
side the state for several weeks. 1t is
clearly the purpose of the administra-
ton to turn down" the state militia,
and the three regiments from Kansas
must be made up largely of raw recruits.
The governor telegraphed to the captain
of every organization directing that all
army clothing and eGuipage belonging
to the state or federal government be
forwarded at once to the adjUtant gen.
eral in Topeka. This step in { fleet dis
arms the militia, and has raised IA storm
throughout Kansas. Following this ac-
ton Leedy named five recruiting Off
GERS assigning them by congressional
districts, and these officers will enroll
the Kansas volunteers.
