Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 26.--In one
q the most sensational reports ever
INSIDE to the Senate Of Kentucky by
N investigating committee, the Joint
Legislative Committee OF Military
Ag4irs has made its report after an
examination into the conduct of the
State militia and the Adiutant Gen
erals Office, lasting over several
weeks.
Openly accusing Gov. Wilson Of
violating the Constitution and laws in
sending troops to various counties
without any request from the civil
zuih9ritic>, and assuming absolute
oonirol over them, the report criticises
EAT Adjutant Generals office, which,
Il Is declared, should be rigidly inves-
aiguted, and calls attention to the
tznormouS expenditure of $3.50, 1880
vi the State militia in less than two
year; most Of which was spent doing
aeiyo service during the so-called
@fobacco war;" and might rider"
tSsublos To these expenditures is
Aaributed in large part the present
.edr6cit in the State Treasury.
Quo chapter Of the report deals
With the First Regiment troubles in
louisville. The finding OF the COM
laiiDe is that the regiment which it is
declared was in excellent condition
uFdrr the command of Col. w. b.
HAheman, who bent every energy to
ssake il pride Of the State, was de-
Iibentely disrupted, and Col. Halde-
laan and nearly all thc officers under
HIN forced to resign, in order that
thu command might be differed by
Republicans, and the regiment made
IN sdjunct Of the Republican ma
chine in Louisville.
In its report the committee says
Ehas it was greatly embarrassed be-
cAuso no examination has been made
Of The Adjutant Generals office, which
Il sas informed would require three
mouths. Referring to the eXpendi-
t1ues on the militia in active service,
tlre committee says that lack Of time
prevented definite conclusions, but
eazs a bill of a Hopkinsville livery
Erm for S10,9O8.50 for horse hire and
fsrags during five months.
In his testimony before the probe"
c0xEzittee, Gov. Wilson, the report

Transportation OF the mails by call

annual report of Joseph Stewart, sec

which was made public toeay. The
number Of abroad routes employed
by the department was 1916 aggre-
eating 2l7l15 miles. The total ex.
Dense of the railway service for the
year was $45.054,54S. For the fiscal
year OF 1911 ii is estimated that the
expenditures for railroad itansport;l-

Demand Extortionste Rates.
II has developed that electric street
railway companies in some cities de-
nand extortionate rates for carrying
he mails. Concerning this situation,
Mr. Stewart says:
In view OF the demands made by
electric car companies for higher
atcs for service in the large cities Il
Is found desirable, In some cases. to
substitute motor wagon service fof
the electric car service
As the appropriation made by cor
aress for railway mail service can
not be used for motor wagon service,
it Is recommended, that $130.000 be
appropriated for the motor wagon
service. 1t Is shown by The report
that automobiles are displacing, TO an
extent moi only The street cars, but
horse drawn vehicles as means for
the transportation Of mails in cities.
