CHARGES AGAINST FARR.
Hearing on the Question of Issuing a
Fraud Order.

In the hearing before the assistant at
torney general for the Post Office Depart
ment this afternoon in the case of the
United States against William NJ. Farr, the
protector of the George Washington Uni
versty," for misuse of the mails. Holmes
Conrad represented the government in an
unofficial capacity. Maj Conrad said,
among other things. in arguing for a fraud
order against Farr that 'he, not knowing
the exact name by which the George Wash
ington University might be incorporated
took the precaution of incorpora ting three
universities, no one of the charters or
franchises of which would sell on the street
corner for 50 80.
r. E. L. Smith of Smith & Miller defend
ed Farr, and claimed that the defendant
franchise for a university which he had in
eorporated.
The salient features Of the case as put
forward by Conrad were that Farr had
been guilty of four infringements of the
statutes, as follows:
For SO he offered to hang portraits of
those persons having degrees from the
George Washington University in the por-
trait gallery of the university; for SO he
would furnish a biography and year book
of the American College of Law, which
would furnish diplomas of this college, and
for $5 he would transfer any diploma from
the Nashville College of Law to the
George Washington University.
The argument was listened to by the as
sistant attorney general and his assistants,
and decision in the matter was held under
advisement and discussion.

offenses are to be tried under the rules
prescribed by the state to which the par
ticular organization of the militia may be-
long. In other words, Ii is understood that
the militia is still the militia of the state
and subject to its control and instant with
drawal from the maneuvers."
1t is held that for the militia to be in the
service of the United States within the
meaning of the militia act IL must be call
ed forth as authorized by the Constitution,
the authority of the United States being
confined to calling forth the militia to exc
cute the laws of the Union, suppress insur
rectfons and repel invasions.
The department holds therefore that the
enforcement of order In the militia from
any state rests with the officer in command
OF such militia, to whom all offenses should
De reported. and whose duty it is to see
that the offenders brought before the
appropriate tribunal under the rules pre-
scrlbed by the state for the government Of
its militia.
An opinion rendered by the Judge adYo-
cate generals Office in connection with :he
participa ton of Michigan militia troops in
the Joint maneuvers at West Point KY. is
referred to. in which it is stated: 1T has
never been regarded by this department
that section - of the general militia law
conferred any authority upon the President
or Secretary of War to issue orders to the
organized militia in time of peace. or. in
aeeu at any time, or any condition save
IN the cases enumerated in the Constitu-
t1on and expressly provided for in sections
=. ana of the act of January 81 1909. :"
II is further stated in that previous opin-
ION that the militia troops Of the state OF
Micmean dld not pass at any time under
the control of the War Department.

DISCIPLINE AT MANEUvERs.
Militia Amenable to the Jurisdiction
of the State,

The War Department, upon the request
of Gen. Corbin. commanding the troops at
ms neuvers in Virginia, has rendered an
opinion in the matter of jurisdiction over
the National Guard organizations, holding
that the militia troops when participating
in an encampment. maneuvers and field
instruction with troops of the regular army
are not In the service of the United States,
within the meaning Of the militia act, and
that discipline in the militia is to be en-
forced through state authority.
In the opinion on this question rendered
by Acting Judge Advocate General Porter
and approved by the War Department, it
is recited: 1.-THE act is understood to pro-
side that as a condition of their being al
lowed to participate with troops of the
regular army they shall submit themselves
to the command of the officer in command
of such troops, but it is not understood
that an incident of such command, disci-
pline in the militia, is to be enforced by
United States authority On the contrary
1t is believed that such discipline is to be
enforced through state authority. and that

quickly did the fire spread that though
efforts were made to save the animals
none could be gotten out.
1t was only by the greatest effort that
the fire department was able to save the
adjacent buildings from destruction. Sew
raj firemen received injuries, none seri-
Gus. The fire was caused by the explosion
