CuSSeS Plans for Securing
EnliStmentS.

New York, Jan. 23.-The thirtieth
anniversary of the Military Service
Institute celebrated here developed
an overwhelming sentiment for a
larger army from the armv and Ma
Jional Guard officers present. Gen
eral Robert S. oliver, assistant sec
retary of war created a sensation by
stating that the United States army
today is no better than in 1872 on
account of a lack of facilities for
mobilization.
Brevet Mai Gen. Alexander S.
Webb, the president of the institu
ton. presided. At the meeting the
returns of ballots sent out some time
ago to the members were read. Gen.
Webb was reelected to the office,
having SAC votes cast out of about
700 cast. Gen. Otis and Gen. Mac
Arthur were the others who received
votes.
The feature OF the occasion was an
address by Gen. Robert Shaw oliver,
Assistant Secretary OF War. He
spoke of the movement to increase
ahe efficiency of the National Guard,
which is one OF the main objects of
the institution. He said that the
National Guard was learning to
supplement the work of the coast
artillery corps, ana would Oe of real
value In coast defense work in time

Gen. Oliver dilated upon a plan
for encampments Of the regular army
under canvas to help out the things
that the soldiers learned on posts
and said that because Of lack of
facilities for ready mobilization the
army was not better off than in 1914
There is a plan for the National
Guard that may be put through, IL
the money is forthcoming. That Is
10 have the militiamen assemble
with the regulars at large encamp-
ments in various departments, to
learn the art OF war through attri-
tion. He said that for instance, there
would likely be an encampment at
Chickamauga two years from now
at which the militamen would be
assembled too. The commander of
the Department Of the Gulf would
be constituted commander OF the
army corps thus formed.
He said that about six divisions
would be made, so that there would

FIGHT, THEN RAISE STATUE.
BrownfieId, Texas, Citizens, Engage IL
Deadly Affray.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. IL Word
reached here today from Brownf1eld,
in Terry county, far west Texas, that
citizens there Thursday erected life
size statue of President Roosevelt af-
ter a street fight in which one person
was fatally hurt, nine others injured
and fifty shots fired. The statue repre-
sents Roosevelt in hunting costume
and stands in the town square.
Brownfield is 100 miles from the
nearest railroad, the Texas & Pacific,
and is farther from railroad than any
town in the United States,
It's population is 1900, composed
largely Of rich cattlemen, cowboys and
planters.
The erection Of the statue was Wig
orously opposed by democrats and
some republicans, but it had already
been ordered from Denver by clti-
zens' committee which refused to turn
from it's plans.
The unveiling was opposed because 1t
was pointed out Roosevelt was still
president and because the democrats
wanted a Bryan statue on the opposite
side, of the square and the town could
not afford both statues.
Efforts were made to steal the statue
and it was buried a week.

day, having given up life to be with
the leper wife whom he abducted from
a Los Angeles hospital and with whom
he tried to reach Mexico He had been
unconscious except at intervals for
twenty-four hours. In his last lucid
moments General Warden begged his
attendants to put forth every effort to
have his wife tenderly cared for.
In his delirium the old man contin-t

ring life. frequently he talked about
the First Bull Run fight, when Gem

holding Ricketts, battery, broke and
ran thru the Fifth Massachusetts regi-.

the battery.
He had nurtured his dread OF sep

vengeance against those who might
seek to send her from him.
The scene was pathetic as the hero
died, surrounded only by hospital at

HAMS ON TRIAL
Brother Of Naval Captain, Charged
With Completely, Held Crowd at Bay
While Other Killed Man He Accused
Of Breaking Up His Home.

New York, Aug. H.-Captain Peter
G. Hains, Jr., U. S. A.. who shot and
killed William E, Annis Saturday at
the Bayside Yacht club, was today ar
raigned in the first district court of
Long Island City, before Magistrate
Smith. Arraigned with the captain
was his brother, T. jenkins Hains. who
kept back the crowd with a revolver,
while his brother carried out ven
geance on the man who, he asserted,
ruined his home.
T. Jenkins Hains is charged with
being an accessory to the killing. A
package of letters recently received
by Annis warning him that his life was
in danger, is in possession of the dis
trict attorney 1t is learned that L.
Jenkins Hains was tried in 1891 on a
homicide charge. He was accused OF
having shot Edward Hannegan, a
friend, to death, while in boat OIL
Old Point Comfort. Hams was ac-
Quilted General Peter G. Hains. Ia
ther OF the young men, was III court

Yesterday, young Mrs. Fains. who,
it is said has been on terms OF close
friendship with Mrs. Annis, wife of the
slain man, came hurriedly to New York
from her home in Winthrop. Mass, and
went to Fort Hancock, on Sandy Hook
in an effort to get possession OF her
three children. who are living with
General and Mrs. Hams. Mrs. Hains
did not succeed in her mission, and II
is believed that she left the city for
her fathers home, in Massachusetts.
The body of Annis was removed yes
terday to his former home in Man
haitian. Mrs. Annis is completely pros
trated by the killing of her husband,
and is under the care of a physician.
The case was put over week to al

Prominent Republican Friend
OF the Governors Suggests
Such a Move
EMBARRASSING COMPLICATIONS
Governor Will Not contrive for His
Own Appointment and Can Not Give
a Friend an Honorable Appointment
While Remaining Candidate =
Might Appoint His Enemy.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special 10 lIneS.hGDuOllCA0s
Des Moines. Aug. IT, A most re-
markable proposition has now been ad-
vanced with all seriousness by very
influential republican leader and close
friend of Governor Cummins that the
present situation is to appoint Haugen
for the senatorial vacancy on the
ground that Haugen seems to be the
choice of his opposition and it would be
a strong bid for harmony in view OF
the fact that the governor is a candi-
date for the regular term.
The governor is considerably en-
barrassed with this appointment. He
has received nearly 1000 letters of ad-
vice and a strong majority of them ad-
wise him to resign and let Governor
Garst appoint him. This is SO repug-
nant to him that he is scarcely consid-
ering it. Some advise him to appoint
some friend who could be depended
upon not to be candidate for the
regular term. This, the governor feels,
would be a cheap political deal. If he
did make such an appointment the
deal would be implied If he renamed
candidate, whether mentioned or not
and Furthermore no appointee could
accept without standing before the
public as having made the deal.
1t was in view of these embarrassing
complications that the governors
N 4, xlN
nor appoint standpatter whom he
could consistently oppose for the reg
ular term and as the standpatters
seem to have picked Haugen as the
candidate and most likely to cut into
Cummins' territory in the Fourth dis
trict, the suggestion was made that the
governor appoint his opponent, Hau-
gen.
The suggestion, as may be expected,
has set tongues to wagging. 1t is now
known here that the Haugen candidacy
was inspired at conference of inn
placables held in Dubuque on the ev-
ening of the Allison funeral, at which
among others, both Dolliver and Hau-
gen were present.
Chicago dispatches disclose the fact
that National Chairman Hitchcock was
in conference there Saturday with
Senator j. P. Dolliver, with respect to
the political situation in Iowa.
A conference of western men was
held at which the members of the exc
cutive committee from the western
states were in attendance. In addition
Chairman Hitchcock sought informa-
ton as to this state from Senator Dol
liver.
