state Militia Again in Turmoil.

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. IT,
Washington's National Guard is once
more threatened with state ruc-
ton, for in accordance with biennial
custom the dogs Of war have been
unleashed within its ranks. At the
instance of lately deposed officer,
the Legislature has been called on to
investigate certain charges. It Is as
serted that the militia is disorgan-
lied and split up into sundry fac
tons, mainly due to petty jealousies.
Not so very long ago, the Hamilton
scandal, as result of which the state
is $4,000 loser, disturbed the peace
full existence Of the guard. But whs
expects soldiers to be other thaa

STARR SKEPT|CAL
As TO THE RELICS
If Offered For Sale in Market They
Would Be Stamped as Fraudu-

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the Uni.

troit Thursday, for the purpose OF in
yestigating mounds in Highland Park
from which relics supposed to indi-
cate the one-time presence of a pre-
historic race have been taken at vari-
Gus times, In the past, has issued a
statement declaring that while the
finds" are interesting they have no
scientific value and probably are
fraudulent. The professors statement
follows:
II have serious doubts regarding the
authenticity of these objects. II Of.
fered In the market for sale they
would undoubtedly be- stamped as
fraudulent. 1t is perfectly evident 70
me, however, that the gentlemen IN
whose possession these collections re
main are acting in complete good
faith. No one can question Dean Saw
ages honesty and earnest enthusiasm;
no one can doubt the conviction OF Mr.
Soper and Mr. Russell, that the things
are genuine.
"A motive for fraud seems abso-
lutely lacking and in the excavation
done before me. there was no evidence
of collusion, fraud or planting. II
there is fraud, IL is being perpetrated
on a large scale with the purpose OF
victimizing the collectors mentioned.
II there Is planting II Is done broadly
over a wide area and months before
the mounds themselves Te-opened.
And let IL be said for the meniI have
seen that with all their enthusiasm
they court the fullest investigation"

In regard TO Inspector Burton. said
Friday:
II am not surprised at anything Mr.

as a school inspector.
HIn the investigation Mr.. Burton
admitted that he voted to award q
contract for the Invincible, that he
was In favor OF buying the Invincible
machine, and the only reason he gave,
when being questioned by me, was
that the agent selling the machine
was a good talker; that he did not
