Death of R. B. Burns

Robert Bruce Burns. one of the best known railroad men in South ern California, died at his home, 2642 Vermont avenue, last evening after lingering illness.
 For twenty years Mir. Burns had been connected with the Santa Fe railroad system, and since 1897 has been chief engineer of the com pany's coast lines, a position he filled with marked ability.
 Last September MT. Burns health failed and he was given leave of absence with the expectation that few months rest would restore him again. But though the best medi-- cal skill of Los Angeles and San Francisco was sought for him he failed steadily.
 About two weeks ago, accompa- nied by Mrs. Burns, he came home from Arrowhead. where he had been for several weeks, fully realizing that the battle he had so 1ravely fought was about ended. Death came peacefully last evening. Interment will be at Saltwater, Me-, suburb of Bangor, and the native place of Mrs. Burns. Mir. Burns was born in Ft. Fair field, Me, November 10, 1852: He graduated from the State University of Maine in 1877, and two years later entered the railroad service.
 He was ah active mem Der of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a member of the Engineers and Architects association of Los Angeles.
 He is survived by widow, 2 brother, Frank Burns, of Ft. Fair field, and sisters.-Los Angeles Ex aminer, June 22.
 For a number of years Mir. Burns was a resident of Williams during the time the offices of the chief en gineer were located at this point He was a man who made man, friends and always showed kindl, spirit toward Williams and he citizens, the moving of the office to Los Angeles being against hi wishes. The NEWS greatly regret his death, and extends to Mrs Burns our deepest sympathy il her sorrow.
 The funeral services conducted il Los Angeles were largely attended showing in what regard he wa held. It had been MT. Burns dy ing request that as many of tn boys in his department as coul( be present, and that when his re mains were shipped east, MT. R. J Arey, formerly of this city, but nov resident engineer at San Bernar dino, accompany them. The reques was granted. and on Monday even ing last MT. Arey passed through Williams. accompanying the sor rowing widow. a"-'

MILITIA CAMP CONTROL
DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT BY
COLONEL CRoWDER.

The Secretary Of War has written let
ter to General McCaskey. commanding the
Department of Texas. who will have COM
mand of the joint camp of instruction
near Austin Texas He incloses a copy
of the opinion of Acting Judge Advocate
General Crowder, to the effect that the
United States government cannot prevent
the establishment of a canteen, for the
sab of beer and light wines, by the militia
of Texas at the camp. The Secretary in
dorses what is said by Colonel Crowder
and calls special attention to the closing
paragraphs of the opinion, which are as
follows:
'.Under ordinary conditions tho national
guard Is distinct and separate force
from the regular army The lines of dis
tinctfon between them are, In large meas
ure, obliterated when the national guard is
called into the service of the United
States. but are, in the main, maintained
where called out for the purpose of joint
instruction under section Is of the act of
January 81, 1903. The principal exception
in the latter case is that national guard
organizations are placed under the COM
mand of the senior regular officer present
irrespective Of rank. as between national
guard and regular officers, but this author
tty of the senior regular officer to COM
mand does not extend. 1t is thought be-
OF joint instruction. The national guard
organizations continue to comply with the
requirements, and avail themselves of the
privileges provided by the state laws not
inconsistent with such joint instruction.
There results. therefore. in joint encamp-
ments held on maneuver grounds of
state some division of control over the
maEeuver site as between the United
States and the state authorities.
One of the privileges enjoyed by the
organizations Of the Texas National Guard
Is that of permitting the sale OF spirituous
liquors, wine. ale or beer, within the limits
or their camp sites. I do not think they
lose this privilege because regular troops
with whom they are associated are not al
lowed similar one.
II Is recommended that the command
ing general, department OF Texas, be ad-
vised that during the period OF his exclu-
sive occupation OF the Texas state ma
neuVer camp ground he Is barred by the
act OF February 2, 190A, above quoted
from permitting the sale OF any intoxicat-
Ing liquors thereon and that he may pro-
tect his exclusive occupation of said camp
site by ejecting any persons coming there
on and attempting to engage in such sales:
but that he should not Interfere with any
canteens established and maintained for
the sale of spirituous liquors. wine ale
or beer. under permission Of the aIithori-
ties Of the state of Texas and upon the
Organizations OF that state as sites for
their camps. during the period or joint
encampment.
In closing his letter TO Gen McC:askey
the Secretary of War says:
You should confer with the proper statA
authorities with view OF delimftinK the
Texas National Guard camp grounds from
the camp grounds OF the regular army
and Within the boundaries OF such stMte
