The twopenny beds are empty but there

BATTERIES MAY MERGE.
WendeI Charges Probably Mean
Formation of Battalion.

As a result of the trouble In which Captain Louis
Wendell, of the 1st Battery Of Light Artillery, has
become involved, owing to the filing OF graft
charges against him, it now begins to look as
though the four batteries of light artillery in the
State National Guard would become consolidated
into battalion under command of a major.
For more than ten years Captain Wendell has
fought against consolidation, owing to the rea-
son, it Is said that In that event Brevet Major
Da I'D Wilson, in command of the % Battery, of
The Bronx. would take precedence over himself
and subordinate the position Of the 1st Battery
Finally the Hull bill, providing for the reor-
ganization of the National Guard upon the plan
of the regular army, was passed, in which it was
stipulated that within period Of five years from
that date all the light artillery batteries were to
be consolidated into battalion under command
of a major.
Although this was apparently a decisive victory
for Major Wilson, Captain Wendell kept to his
guns even when some of his officers joined
Major Wilson in effort 10 combine the two bat
terics. In this fight General Fitzgerald, then in
command OF the National Guard, sided with Cap
tain Wendell, result of which the latter finally
won out.
Captain Wendels star continued in the ascend
ancy and he persuaded the city to erect the new
armory in West Goth street, greatly TO the dis
comfort Of the Of the % Battery, who set
about enlist the aid Of men prominent in the
city. with the result that they will shortly have
a building Of their own, which Will be erected
at total cost OF s45000o for land and arnory, at
l66th street and Franklin avenue, While the cost
Of the lst Battery armOry was only SlIS,VW
With Captain Wendell disposed Of, there appears
nothing left to prevent the original scheme OF
consolidation. and wiropulling has already begun
with that end in view. The appointment OF Lieu
tenant O. Ryan to the temporary command OF the Ist
Battery is regarded shrewd move upon tle
part Of the enemies Of Captain Wendell to gain
command Of the consolidated battalion for Major
Wilson, who is looked upon with favor, It Is ru-
mOred, by AdtutaHt General Henry and Major Gen
eral Roe. commander Of all four batteries IN
The Bronx Manhattan, Brooklyn and Binghamton,
the batteries outside of Manhattan and The Bronx
being expected to fall into ltne with the others
should Major Wilson succeed TO the command.
The headquarters Of The major in command
would probably be in one Of the New York armoT-
les though each battery would retain its !ndivid-
Uality ana have its separate armory only meeting
under the majors command when on active duty
or parade.
Friends of members of the ID Battery are eated
the prospects OF the armOry and the In
crease IN Importance of the home organization.
which may eventually become the headquarters or
all the light batteries in the state.
