Washington, June s.-Judge Advo-
cate General Davis has sent to the sec
Rotary of war an opinion relative to
various disputed matters of construc-
ton of the new militia law. One point
raised was whether section IA OF the
militia act, relating to expenditure Of
money for the militia, was not In con-
fiict with the federal constitution, the
contention being that 1t would take the
militia from the control OF the states.
General Davis points out that the new
militia law does not differ materially
from the present law. and that all that
will be necessary ia change In the
forms for accounting to be made to
the Treasury Department.
A more important point raised con-
Germs section IL. which provides for
the participation Of the militia Of the
several states in maneuvers and fleld

MORE THAN THE FIVE SENSES

Remarkable powsrs Pessssssd BY the
Lower Animals.
Many Of our scientists. until quite
recently have been reluctant to admit
that a number of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than

being offered ON this point. that there
can be no longer any substantial req

means all that are possible to sentient
creatures.
One such senle not possessed by
human beings. but to greater or less
degree almost universally present In
mammals. birds, Fgptiles. hsh and in
sects, is what perhaps may be called
the sense OF localization. It enables
its possessor, apparently by its sole

COMMITS SUICIDE

Denver, June IA Republican spe-
eial from Colorado SPRING. last night
says:
Lying dead In pool Of its own
blood, shot through the head and the
revolver Q few inches from Its right
hand, the body Of Aware Hemenway
was found at $40 O'Clock this after
noon by . searching party in some
brush behind . group Of cottonwood
trees in the Fountain Creek dats. The
place II called the Portland pasture.
and the location Of the body was about
16os yards southwest Of the Midland
bridge over Fountain creek and quar-
ter of mile east of the Portland mill.
William Myers, one Of the searching
party employed by o. e. Hemenway.
son OF the deceased. discovered the
body.
No inquest will be held, rs the case
10 clearly one OF suicide. The bullet. q
38-calibre. had entered the head one
inch above the tip Of the right ear. and
had left the skull the same distance
above the left ear, but an inch farther
front.
Aware Hemenway had been missing
since Wednesday morning, and his
perturbAnce over business Affairs, to-
gether with the fact that the revolver
was missing from its accustomed place
in tho safe at the Hemenway grocery
store, led to the theory Of suicide on
the part of Grin e. Hemenway. the son.
The latter employed searching par
ties since Thursday. and the canona
and other neighboring points were be-
ing secured when the discovery was
made.
The deceased was one of the Oldest
and most respected citizens Of Colo
RADIO Springs. He came to this city
about twenty years ago. first conduct
ing q feed business on East Huerfano
street. About three years agQ1he sold

CAUGHT BY THE
ELEVATOR CAGE

Just the narrowest of shaves saved
the life of one of the clerks in Lewis
& Co.'S yesterday. The freight eleva-
tor in the new store in the Levers q
Cooke block is equipped with gates
which indicate that the elevator is not
at the floor, and the man who know
knows better has been in the habit of
using the shaft as a speaking tube.
Yesterday he talked down the shaft
when the elevator was above him. He
was so busily engaged in his conversa-
ton with the man below that he did
not hear the descending elevator. 1t
came down noiselessly and his neck
was caught between the floor of the
descending cage and the top bar of
the gate. That he was not decapitated
was due to the rapid stop made by the
lad in charge. when a shout of warn
ing came. The clerk was Frustrated
by the shock for a time, but recovered
so quickly that there was corrobora-
tive evidence of the testimony of the
doctor that no serious damage was
done. He continued at his work.

THE TERRITORIAL BAND.

We can scarcely agree with the con-
tention of Senator Dickey and a long
line of predecessors that Berger's band,
by the fact of its location here, is a
Honolulan and not a Territorial affair
and charge. A Territorial band, no
more than a Territorial Governor, mi
litia force, High Sheriff, etc, can be
headquarters and what more natural
that II should be posted at the capital
and principal seaport of the country
Nor does the fact that the band is here
for most of the time weaken the argu-
ment for it's Territorial status. The
Marine band is at Washington nearly
all of the time yet it Is a national body,
the expense of which is borne by Con-
gress. It's duty Is to serve public func-
tions, and TO make the capital more at
tractive to its own people and to stran-
gers.
That is also the function of the band
we call Berger's. For thirty years it
has been one of the institutions of the
country-one of the things tourists
speak of when they go away as among
those that make life worth living in
Hawaii-which give the Paradise"
some of the glamour OF the great Euro
pean pleasure resorts where the State
not only supports bands but subsidies
theaters. 1t ought not to be forgotten
by the country members of the Legis-
lature-nor has 1t been by the majority
of them in the past,-that anything
which makes Honolulu more attractive
10 tourists helps the whole Territory.
The revolution of 1893 took away the
spectacular Royal court, but it did not
disturb the band; and every visitor to
Hawaii hopes that nothing will disturb
it.
Left to become a football Of ward po-
lftics, a thing of country or city over
sight and vicissitude. the famous old
band would soon be dropped just the
same as harbor improvement and a doz-
en- other things of local application but
OF Territorial EXPENSE would be under
similar circumstances. And to drop ii
would be a misfortune to a good many
other people than Honolulans.
