THE NEW MILITIA LAW
SECRETARY ROOTS PLANS FOR
ITS EXECUTION.
Supreme Authority Will Not Be Vest
ed in National Guardsman-Dis-
tributing the Army Rifle.

Secretary Root says that the general staff,
II created. will be charged with the execu-
ton OF the new militia law, and he added
that the order for the distribution Of the
Krag-Jorgensen service rifle to the organ
lied militia was merely part Of the general
scheme for the reorganization Of the militia
in accordance with the provisions Of the
new law.
Pending action on the general stair bill.
all the correspondence in regard to the or
ganization of the militia will be recorded In
the office Of the adjutant general, with Ma
jor James Parker, assistant adjutant gem
eral, in immediate charge, and Major Wilson,
chief clerk of the miscellaneous division, as
his chief assistant.
There is no disposition at the War De-
partment to put the execution Of the militia
law into the hands of National Guardsman,
as has been proposed by some members. of
the National Guard, but to keep 1t strictly
within the jurisdiction Of the federal
authorities, as designed and provided by
existing statutes. 1t Is said that Represen-
tative Dick has prepared bill providing
for the appointment of a National Guards
man with the rank of brigadier general as
chief of the proposed militia division Of the
War Department, but it is not likely to be
pressed. 1t is represented that such legis-

one Of the main objects of the law, which
was to clothe the President with supreme
and undivided authority over the militia
when called into service for the national
defense.

OYSTER PLANTERS DEFEATED.
Report in Virginia Legislature Re-
pardino Lower Potomac Raids

The efforts of syndicate Of oyster plant
in Nomini and Curriomen bays on the Po-
tomac. in Westmoreland county. Va. have
been defeated by an adverse report Of the
committee of the Virginia legislature. It
was claimed by the opponents of the plant
ers that, though the oyster beds referred to
were not in the Baylor survey, they were
natural oyster bottoms and would have
been included in the territory to be open to
the people forever but for the neglect Of the
local oyster commissioner to act In con-
junction with the legislative committee.
BY being thus left out Of what 10 known as
the Baylor survey, these beds, which had
for a hundred years been public property,
were open to application for lease for pri-
waite oyster planting purposes, as all oys-
ter grounds not in the Baylor survey were
declared by law not to be natural oyster
grounds. Notwithstanding this fact, how
ever, the oyster beds in Nomini and Curri-
omen were recognized as natural rock and
for years no attempt was made to rent
them. In 1900 Mr.. w. T. Mayo and others
made application to rent these beds and
since that time the matter has been fought
out in the courts. and the tongers and
dredgers representing the public have won
Recently the matter was taken into the
Virginia legislature, by those who wished
to lease the lands, and the action of the
legislative committee in making an adverse
report on their application Is another VIC
tory for public ownership. Efforts will
now, 1t Is understood, be made to have
these oyster beds included In the BAYLOR
survey. and this action will put an end to
the controversy. Many OF the oysters used
In Washington come from the oyster beds
over which the fight Is now being made

Endorses Mr.. Hayes Speech.

There has been a great deal Of talk
about the speech delivered by Attorney
James H. Hayes before the Afro-American
council, January 20. in which it Is charged
he advised the shotgun and the torch"
Some persons have written and Informed
you that Mr.. Hayes speech was not In
dorsed by the meeting. I was seated upon
the platform and was about three yards
from Mr.. Allen, who was more enthusiasts
tic in applauding Mr.. Hayes speech than
any member Of the audience. So enthusi-
astic was he. and anxious to speak, that
President Pledger had to request him at
least twice to be seated. as the program
had been previously arranged. Every
speaker Endorsed the speech In glowing
terms. Mr.. Jesse Lawson declined to
speak and he said in his declination that he
could be heard any time. and after having
heard such an excellent speech by Mr..
Hayes there was nothing for him to say"
These were the exact words Of Mr.. Law
son. and I remarked then to Bishop Wal
ters who was seated next to me: What is
going to happen? Lawson declined to
speak" Colonel Pledger informed me that
he would have asked me to speak but he
didn't know what was going to say, and
for fear that I would throw "firebrand"
into the meeting he thought 1t best not to
introduce me. I would have said just what
I knew would happen. Those who favored
and Endorsed the speech of Mr.. Hayes fed
the moment the press denounced it, and
those pretended brave citizens who thought
what Mr.. Hayes said was right would flee
like sheep If some one opened fire. l am not
surprised at the attitude of those coWardly
negroes; 1t Is In keeping with their past
chara cter1stics when one of the race is
brave and manly enough to rise and con-
denim any brutality and outrage that may
be imposed upon his people. Mr.. Hayes
merely said what would happen if these
nutr the continued The
negro is less than a citizen if he allows
crimes to be perpetrated upon him and not
enter his protest.
Again I say there was not dissenting
voice raised against Mr.. Hayes speech, and
for one have no apology to offer for what
he said. w. CALVIN CHASE,

Thanked by: the Mayor.

publishes card Of thanks signed by the
mayor of Georgetown for the citizens to the
citizens Of Washington for the zeal and
efficiency displayed in arresting the con-
fagration on the night Of November 80.
The fire referred to is located in Jackson's

q bake house, together with the connecting
dwelling, store. the residence of Mr.. Nc
Leod. and two frame houses, the fireproof
warehouse Of John Kurtz arresting it.
The following day. December 2, the In
telligencer had a communication suggest
ing the use Of horses for drawing the en-
gines to fires. The distance to this fire, it
Is stated. prevented some Of the engines be-
ing taken to the fire, and those which ar
rived on the scene were late and those
With them exhausted. All admit the i'm
portance of promptness at fires and the ad-
vantage Of having those working the. en-
gines fresh and vigorous. Horses would
prove effective and the expense small-a
Drfdle, collar and harness to slip over the
horses heads and a rope trace being all
that Is required. Arrangements could be
mace, he says, for span of horses at each
engine house, and the insurance companies
might find 1t to their interest to pay for
their hire. He notes that in northern cities
horses are used.
