COMMISSION
To lE0AGANlE
STATE, MILITIA

A commission to reorganize the state
militia I'm order to conform TO the re-
guirements of the Dick law has been ap-
pointed by Governor Higgins. The COM
mission Is composed as follows: Adjt
Gen. Frederic NJ sackett. Brig. Gen.
Herbert S. Tanner. Col. Frank w. Matte
son OF the First Infantry, Col. Charles E.
Mulhearn OF the Second Infantry, Lieut..
Col. Arthur V. Warfeld. assistant adju-
tant general; Lieut.. Col. Nathaniel w.
Smith. assistant judge advocate general.
and Capt. Henry G. Cram, Judge advo-
cate OF the brigade.
melting OF the new commission has
been called for Friday evening by an or
der issued by AdJt. Gen. sackett.
IL is not known as yet just what sweep
ing changes the commission will have TO
make. They will depend largely on the
strictness OF construction put upon the
bill by the war department.
The present organization OF the militia
into a brigade is not recognized by the
regulations, II is said. The regulations
provide for IL company regiments and the
two regiments OF this state could easily
be swallowed up In one II company regi-
ment. 1t is not, however, known whether
the state will have to discard the brigade
formation.
Ever since the bill for reorsanizing the
militia passed the general assembly last
January IL has been contended that the
state could maintain two organizations.
one for state defence and one for the SER
vice of the United States. II this Is possi-
BILE the brigade formation will be retained.
and the militia held ready to be changed
into the regular army organization when
required.
The Machine Gun Battery 10 not reoog-
nized by the regulations and II may be ne
cessary to reorganize this ais a battery OF
field artillery.
The two paymasters, who the state
maintain as part of the regimentai stan.
will also have to be discarded as they are
not recognized In the regular army.
Additional staff officers in the shape OF
a commissary quartermaster for each bat
talon will be named.
Under the Dick bill every state that de-
sired TO take advantage of II was required
to reorganize its militia accordingly with
in FIVE years from the date OF passage In
ordered to permanently enjoy the govern
ment appropriation and the Ave years will
be up on Jan. q next

The drama is admirably constructed,
straightforward, sincere and natural. The
climax Is cleverly worked up, and the
character drawing Is excellent. The male

ways distinguished by either meanness or
stupidity.
Miss Nillson brings her Characteristic

makes the character entirely earnest and
deeply sympathetic.
The supporting company is very effec-
