EXTENSION OF NEW
MILITIA LAW DENIED
No Aid for Indian Terri
tory or Alaska.
PORTO RICO, TOO, IS BARRED
Root Decides That Benefit of App-o-
priation Does Not E Ctend to
These Territories.

Are the Indian Territory. Alaska and
Porto Rico Territories in the sense the
word Is used i1ethe new law providing
Government aid for State and Terri
torial mictia?
The War Department held that these
political divisions are not Territories
and in his annual report made pub
lie yesterday Acting Adjutant General
w. 2. Hall gives the reasons Of the de-
partment for lot issuing arms and
equipment TO military organizations in
these divisions.
Applied for Arms.
In the Indian Territory many exist
ing organizations applied for arms when
the new militia law was passed early
tbs year and many applications were
received from persons who desired to
organize companies. The Territory has
no adJutant general and under the ex-
listing laws governing the division it
was believed by Secretary Root TO be
unwise 10 authorize the organization of
militia recognized by the Government
under the new militia act Military
companies organized at Ardmore. Co
manche. Sallisaw. Rand. Chickasaw,
Madill and many other places IN the
Territory were disappointed by this
ruling Of the Secretary of War.
Secretary Roots Decision.
Similar difficulties were encountered in
an attempt 10 extend the new militia
law TO Alaska. The laws of Oregon were
extended to Alaska as far as practicable
and Secretary Root decided last June
when asked to allot money for the sup
port of militia in Alaska, that organi-
cation under the Oregon law would be
unwise and suggested that an act of
Congress providing for the organiza ton
should be passed.
Porto Rice also desired TO enjoy the
benefits Of the new militia law. An ef-
fort was made to obtain an appropria-
ton for the insular police OF Porto
Rico. which is organized in six COM
panies and stationed at san Juan, Ponce,
Mayaguez. and other cities. But Sec
rotary Root did not regard this as a
suitable organization 10 receive a part
OF the military appropriation and sug-
gestee that the house of delegates frame
a general militia law and bring about
an organization similar to those main
tanned in the United States.

OLYMP P|ANS LOSE
A CLEVER BOXER
Samuel Berger Is Made
aProfessional by the
Authorities.

Night Before the Acme
Club.

Word was received from the East yes
terday that the officials of the Amateur
Athletic. Union have declared Samuel Ber-
ger of the Olympic Athletic Club a
professional. Berger is the amateur
heavyweight champion boxer of the coast,
having twice defeated Andy Gallagher,
who held the title.
When Bob Fitzsimmons was preparing
to go on the road with The Honest
Blacksmith" he needed a big sparring
partner and secured Berger. The latter
applied 10 the Pacific Athletic Association
for special permit under which he could
travel as actor and not forfeit his
amateur standing The case was a novel
one and was referred to Secretary Sulli-
van of the. Amateur Athletic Union with a
recommendation that the request be
granted. Secretary Sullivan in turn re-
ferred it to the officers of the union In
the meantime Berger went on the road
and now finds himself professional. Had
he known this was the penalty he would
not have taken the step which disbars
him.
He was entered in the forthcoming tour
nament and. with the coaching he receiv-
ed from Fitzsimmons, was expected to
prove the star heavyweight.
Jack Carrig. the Eastern lightweight,
will meet Rufe Turner in a fifteen-round
bout tonight before the Acme Club Oak
land. Turner ruled Z to 10 chance in the
betting yesterday. Eddie Graney will
referee. If Carrig wins cleverly he will
be in line for match with Britt.
