he saw not a single incident In the
course Of his three-mile walk last Sun
day evening that would shock the most
sensitive Of New Workers."
Commissioner Rudolph made this
statement today concerning the remarks
attributed TO the mayor OF New York,
I'm reference to the sights which met his
gaze during the progress Of a stroll
down Pennsylvania avenue.
Between you and me- said Commits
sioner Rudolph, Il think the mayor
was joking.
When he said that Washington is
no better than New York. he must
have meant the better parts of New
York. Like all true Washingtouians, ]
am of the opinion that the metropolis
has nothing on the National Capital
in any way. But II the mayor viii

use an official phrase, may be depend

Il think, however, that Mayor Cay

who would appreciate the delights OF

BATTALION INQUIRY
SUDDENLY SHIFTED
Majors Robbins and Hodges
TO Decide Fate of Cap
tain Ryan.

The fate Of Capt. Michael J. Ryan. of
Company G, First Regiment. District
militia, who is suspended, pending
Investigation Of his official conduct.
rests today with Majors Alfred p.
Robbins and William :. Hodges, Of
the militia staff department
Major Hodges is the judge advocate
Of the local militia, and Major Rob
bins is the quartermaster.
They are collaborating in a report
OF the attendance and work of the
First Battalion Of the First Regiment,
which will determine the fate not
only OF Captain Ryan. but Of all the
other officers and men Of the bat
talon.
Make No Statements.
The inspectors will make no state
ment until their report is approved by
Gen George II. HaTTies, the command
ing Officer.
The attendance rolls and company
reports are now in the hands Of Col.
Samuel z. Smiley, the adjutant gem
eral. who viii go over them with Gen
eral HarricS
No intimation of the probable ac-
ton TO follow the official inspection
of the First Battalion at the armory
last night could he CLEANED today.
In view Of the conditions that
caused the inspection, il Is likely
the entire battalion will be disband-
ed, and officers and men to be re-
tanned will be traI sferred TO other
organizations. The attendance last
night was large. At the last minute
yesterday the orders to Major Leroy
Heron, inspector general, TO conduct
the inspection were revoked, because
of other pressing business. and Majors
Robbins and Hodges were detailed in
his stead.
Immediate Cause.
The immediate cause of the impend-
ing drastic reorganization Of the First
battalion. and the one thing that
brought on the inspection, was the
failure of every officer of Company
G TO report for duty on the regular
drill night last week. A few men re-
ported. but as none Of the officers
appeared their drill work was not
strenuous.
At the time of the encampment the
officers of Uncle Sans regular army
declared that the District regiments
displayed a high order Of efficiency
In the maneuvers. Since then, with
nothing In prospect but another
years work before the next encamp-
ment, the companies began to dwin-
die. Instead of keeping up the en-
thusiaSm Of the men. in their work
TALON of the First regiment, IL is
alleged, became affected by the apathy
of their men, and became lax. This
laXity. it is declared. extended
throughout all the notifications of
military duty in the militia.
