marching order Wednesday, evening by
try. Col. William f. Harvey. All eouin-
ment was carefully looked over missing
articles noted and defects corrected. and
everything is now. in readiness for the

After a long interval of time the Treas
ury Department has passed on the cues
ton OF whether or not Ser9t Edward NJ
Tansill of the LIST Infantry Band is en-
titled to IS for service August II. 1900 and
May 20. 1909. The controller has made
a decision which leaves the matter I'M
In the air as far as 1t ever was, it is said.
because he makes no attempt to settle
the merits of the claim.
Sergt Tansill played in the band the
dates mentioned under orders which sent
the guard to the maneuvers I'm Massa-
chusetts and again in a G. A. r. parade
The second instance was by an order
which stated the service would not he
under pay. The guard embarked on the
transports the evening of August H. but
the "encampment' proper did not start
until August IL. the next day. The
amount of correspondence and study and
looking up Of laws which this sergeant's
claim for s. has brought forth is ella
as prodigious. Long letters have gone
back and forth from militia Headquarters
to the auditor for the state and other de-
partments. The auditor. after a ire
mendOusly long opinion, decided he had
no jurisdiction in the matter. The con-
troller upheld him. Sergt. Tansill ha.
not his pay. Will he get It? "Quien
sabe,' as they say down on the border
where three District National Guard Of
ficers are watching maneuvcrs.
Maj. Alfred p. Robbins, brigade quarter
master. is busy man these days His
department, among other things, Is up
to the neck In the details Of the construc-
ton Of the storehOuse for the Naval Bat
talon and the repairing Of the dock.
