STILL HOPES BOTH
 COMPANIES CAN GO

Little Rock, May 26.-Adiutant General B. w. Green returned yesterday from Washington, where he met with the officials of the War Department regarding the old S1l5,000 claim for militia ry supplies the government holds against the Al kansas National Guard
 This claim is for supplies fur nished prior to 1904, and the amount was SD great the Secre- tary of War declined to wipe it off the books without action by Congress. Congressman Floyd promised Gen. Green he would endeavor to have this done under the present Deficiency Bill.
 The state would never be call ed upon to pay the amount, but the balance does not look good hanging against the state, and for that reason Gen. Green went to Washington to get it out of the way. Gen. Green also took up with the War Department the proposition of using funds out of one appropriation for other 1 things, and was given permission to do so. This will enable the two regiments of the National Guard to go to Camp Leon Springs this summer for the an nual encampment if the railroads make the proper rates.
 The railroads have so far re. fused to give any rates, however, as the War Department held up $1, 300 of the $25, ,000 transporta- tion bill sent in for taking one regiment to Leon Springs, be- cause the railroad is what is known as a land grant road, which are bound to haul soldiers for a less rate.
 The difference in the rate which the War Department claims should have been charged is the S1,300. Gen. Green hopes to have this strengthened out soon so the two regiments will be taken to Texas.
