PUT DICK BILL IN EFFECT
Governors Requested to See that It's
Provisions Are Followed.
MEANS MUCH TO NATIONAL GUARD
Acting Secretary of War Calls At
tentiOn TO Requirements OF state
Militia Before Appropria-
tiOn Becomes Available.

WASHINGTON, June u.-Acting Secre-
tary Of War oliver has addressed a letter
notifying governors OF states and territories
that on January q, next. under the terms
or the Dick militia act, the militia organiz-
alton must conform TO that OF the regular
and volunteer armies OF the United States.
He suggests that the governors take the
necessary steps to secure such conformity.
Says General Oliver: Failure to meet
this statutory requirement viii result in
debarring state from the use OF the al
lotment OF the annual appropriation of
100000 for the support OF the militia"
The act requires that the number OF reg
ularly enlisted. organized and uniformed ac-
tive militia shall be at least 100 men for
each senator and representative OF each
state. General oliver suggests to the gov
ernors provisions for enactment by the leg
islatures in brief as follows.
THE definition OF the duties Of the ad-
jutant general and his assistants and the
quartermaster general and his assistants.
Provision for the necessary general Of
fcers and for stan made UP OF adJutant
generals, inspector generals, judge advo-
Gates general. quartermasters, subsistence,
medical, hospital corps. pay, engineers.
ordnance and signal corps.
THE guard must be divided into divi-
sions, brigades regiments ETC., to conform
to the regular army organization, reservins
to the government the power Of reorganiza-
tion and to make the companies and num-
Der of officers assigned to organization
correspond to the regular army"
The new law will have a fsr-reaching et-
feet upon the national guard OF the coun-
try for in very few states do the organizas
tons at present correspond with those OF
the regular service. The most Important
change required will probably be In the
great increase in the number OF men In
camps and regiments for 1t is a fact that
in many states so-called regiments OF
militia instead of being 100 strong, as they
should be to meet modern service demands
number scarcely more than a battalion or
800 men. and skeleton companies are every
where In evidence.

ALBERT CHECKS HIS PEOPLE
Leader Of French Wine Growers Re-
volt Prevents Violence.
TROOPS ARE BECOMING MUTNOUS
Soldiers OF Regiment Inform Colonel
They Refuse to March Against
Friends and Relations
Small Riot Occurs.

MONTPELIER, France, June II. -
After the announcement Of the resignation
of the municipal council here last evening
in accordance with the wine growers pro-
gram, the arrest of a youth for carrying
a banner bearing the inscription March
on to Paris: long live the revolution" led
to serious disorders. Hussars were called
out and charged the people repeatedly.
Several persons were injured and calm was
only restored by the release Of the prisoner.
Mareelin Albert. the leader of the move
ment, has issued a circular to all the COM
mittees inviting them TO take united action
in obedience to the recommendations Of
Arsellier's committee and to employ only
peaceful. lawful means adding: mo dis
orders or violence" The hour has not

NARBONNE, France, June 1.-THE dis
content caused among the men Of the One
Hundredth regiment Of infantry by their
confinement TO barracks for the last five
Sundays on account OF the wine growers
manifestation was brought to a head last
night by a dispute between the prlvates and
officers, who tried to pull
down men from a wall whence they were
cheering passing trains loaded With wine
growers going to Montpelier. The soldiers
informed their colonel that they absolutely
refused to march against their friends and
1 citations. The colonel succeeded In tempor-
arily calming the men by promising to M
vestigate the charges of brutality brought
against the sergeants. but the military
authorities consider that the spirit OF the
troops is bad, all the soldiers being In sym
pathy with the movement of the wine

QUARTER MILLION TOO HIGH
Howard Gould Considers This sam
EntireIy Out OF Question
ms AIimonY.

NEW YORK, June II. announcement was
made today that Howard Gould is consider
ing the advisability OF starting a counter
suit for separation against hts wife Such
an action, he thinks. would lessen the
chances OF Mrs. Gould's obtaining a court
decree for alimony OF $4,000 a year. One
of Mr.. Goulds friends is quoted today as
saying that Mr.. Gould would be willing to
set aside a SUFFICIENT sum for the support
OF his wife. but that he certainly would
not entertain the demand for s25o.0O0 a year
He thought Il likely that Mr.. Gould would
be willing to give his wife 10000 year
aIImony and felt sure that Mr.. Gould would
consent TO settle the suit on that basis. al
though Mr.. Gould had never said so di-
rectly.
Briefs OF the argument between Delaney
NieoI. attorney for Howard Gould. and
Clarence ]. shearn. counsel for Mrs. Gould
were submitted yesterday TO Supreme Court
Justice Mccall and a decision Is looked for
II. a few days. This argument took place
last Thursday and was on motion by
Mr.. Mccall TO strike out three allegations
from Mrs. Goulds bill OF complaint.

vEToES Two-cENT FARE BILL
Governor Hughes of New York Dis
approves Reduced Railroad
Rate Measure.

ALBANY. n. Y. June l1.-Governor
Hughes today vetoed the bill lnstitutlng
fiat passenger rate OF cents a mile on
every railroad system In the state more
than 15O miles long.
In his veto message, the governor pointed
out that the passage Of the bill was not
preceded by legislative investigation OF
suitable inquiry. Nor Is the fixing OF this
rate predicated on reports which would
permit a fair conclusion as TO the justice
OF It's operation.
The governor also said:
Injustice on the part OF the railroad cor
porations toward the public does not
Justify injustice on the part of the
state toward the railroad corporations. The
action of the government should be fair
and impartial and upon this every citizen,
whatever his interest, Is entitled to insist.
The fact that those in control OF railroad
corporations have been guilty of grossly
Improper 1nanciering and OF illegal and in
furious determinations in charges points
clearly to the necessity of effective state
action, but does not require or warrant
arbitrary reprisals.
I'm dealing with these questions democ-
racy must demonstrate its capacity to act
upon deliberation and to deal Justly.
1T is OF the greatest Importance not
only that railroads should be compelled to
respect their public obligations, but also
that they should be permitted to operate
under conditions that will give a fair re-
turn for their service. Nothing could be
more opposed to the interests OF the COM
munity as a whole than to cripple the
transportation transports by arbitrary re-
duction of earnings"
The senate today passed the New York
City recount bill over the veto of Acting
Mayor MCGOWAN. The bill now goes to
the governor. Seven democrats and one
republican voted to sustain the veto, The
senate also passed the supplementary Hn
which would permit Mayor Mcclellan to
secure a recount in districts not asked for
by Mr.. Hearst and at the citys expense.
Considerable difference exists between
the railroad corporations with respect to
the territory they serve and the cost Of
service, and II is manifest that what would
be fair Cor one might be far from fair for
another"
The message reminds the legislature OF
the newly created public service commits
sions under a law providing for inquiry
into freight rates and passenger fares and
for the fixing OF such rates shall be
found Just and reasonable

ATLANTIC CURRENTS COLD
UnusuaI Conditions Prevailing As Re-
suit of PassRge of Low BarO-
metric Pressure.

NEW YORK. June 1l.-opservations of
Atlantic steamers arriving recently at New
York are very interesting as showing that
the waters OF the ocean or other eastern
coasts are now abnormally cold. The
steamer Maracaibo reports that when four
miles OF Long Branch yesterday the sea
temperature was 81 degrees. On Saturday
when the steamer Baltic was 100 miles east
of Sandy Hook its officers noted a sea
temperature of "a degrees Observations
made as late as Thursday night on the
steamer Caledonia show that the sea fifteen
miles east OF st. Johns, N. r.. was we'll
nigh ice cold with temperature OF "a
degrees.
The present cool ocean conditions are due
to the unusually frequent passage of con-
tinental barometric pressures from Ontario
eastward 10 New Foundland. the barometrio
effect on the ocean being TO crowd or force
the cold waters Of New Foundland toward
the region OF lower pressure of our At
