HONOR WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Mr. Rockers Candidacy for the Office
of National Committeeman

Editor Star: You very kindly offer
10 give publicity TO what 1 may wish.
to say about my candidacy for ma
tional committeeman, and I now avail
myself Of this opportunity.
Many confuse this position with
that Of delegate to the national con-
vention.
We will elect twelve delegates to
the national convention, which will, of
course. nominate the domcratic candi-
dates for president and vice president.
and make the national platform Of
our party.
The national committee has no such
duties to perform and is composed
only OF one member from each state
The principal duty OF this committee
viii be to select the place for holding
the national democratic convention
four years from now
1t is obvious, therefore, that it is
not Of great consequence to the voter
what democrat, or quality or grade of
democrat, fills this honorary position.
| would not depreciate the honor
which is incident to that position; for
its membership consists of the most
distinguished men of our nation and
party l would highly appreciate such
an honor, but when I realize the en-
barrassment presented in the multi
tude of names upon the primary ballot,
and the many important facts to be
brought to the attention of the voters
in the canvass to which it is very es-
sential he should give ear it would
seem almost inconsiderate and unbe-
coming for me to urge to their atten-
ton matter that is of small concern
to them and would be only an honor to
me.
To know my choice for president is

Now Secretary Stimson says that
our national guard is insufficient. In
the beginning of the republic. when
our population was smaller. and the
danger greater, our forefathers were
willing to rest on the strong arm of
the militia, all the while feeling per-
fectly secure.-Banner.
The trained soldiers and the militia
OF hundred years ago were as differ
emit from those of today as a stage
coach differs from an automobile. The
armies of CORVALLIS and Pakenham
had not progressed far from the tao
fics of Alexander and Caesar: their
idea of war was to bear down the en-
envy by frontal attack. On the other
hand. the militia was made up Of men
accustomed to outdoor life and hard
ship and to handle guns from child
hood. Every man had more or less Of
the experience of a soldier and all nee
essary to make him one was q few
weeks drill. Also, what difference
there was.in weapons was in favor Of
the militia. The frontiersman's rifle
was . much better gun than the reg
ular soldiers musket. There was also
an immense difference between the
new country where nature provided
fnnumerable trenches and breastworks,
and that Of today. In these days. the
private citizen. except in q compar-
atively few sections OF the country. is
absolutely destitute Of the faculties
that enabled the Americans to win at
Cowpens and New Orleans, and he Is
also destitute OF the weapons He has
nothing to oppose to the arms OF the
soldier but the comparatively feeble
and the majority have not even these.
On the other hand, governments for
the last forty years have been giving
their soldiers the training that from
tfersmen once had to which Is added
weapons and scientific instruction such
Is neither soldier nor militiaman ever
dreamed Of a century ago., To try to
meet the attack of the troops Of a for
eign government with militia as our
forefathers did in the days OF Wash
ington and Andrew Jackson, would
simply be sending our young men out
to be uselessly slaughtered.

Underwood elected president OF the

SEEKS INJUNCTION TO
 STOP RAILROAD TRANSFER.
Lawyer Untermyer Still Fighting for
 Minority Stockholders.

New York, May 22-In argument to- day before the supreme court in appli- cation for an injunction to stay the transfer of the Rutland Railroad com pany property to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad from the New York Central, Samuel Untermyer attacked the public service commission of the Second district, which approved the transfer, and charged it with be- traying the interest of the people of the state
 The transfer of control, declared the lawyer, who represented the minority holders of Rutland stock, was in yio- lation of the Sherman law, because the Rutland and New Haven were com peting roads. In case the court de- clines to grant the injunction, MT. Un- termyer asked it to compel the New Haven road to take over not only the majority stock of the Rutland at $105 a share, but also the minority holdings of 20,G00 shares at the same rate
 MT. Untermyer saaid that when President Mellen of the New Haven road said before the public service commission that he wanted the Rut- land railroad to use as a "club," his real meaning was that he desired the Rutland as a means with which to war upon the Grand Trunk in com petition for traffic in New England and Canada. This, the attorney added, would be inevitable within few years. The hearing was not concluded to- daV

HOPPING, THE WAITER,
 RELEASED BY POLICE.
Examination Fails to Shed New Light
 on Boston Murder Mystery.

Boston May 22.-The mystery sur rounding the murder of Mrs. Lillian Jewar, formerly of Montreal, who was strangled in her apartments in the South End, probably on Saturday, was still far from solution this after noon. Several clews have been run down without producing any tangible results, and these included the exam nation of Charles w. Hopping, a wait CT, and he was released from deten- tion.
 Several of the police inspectors pointed out today that the circum- stances surrounding the discovery of Mrs. Jewars body yesterday resem- bled closely those attending the mur- der of Laura Chamberlain in water front hotel last September. Both women were seen during the even ing in various resorts, but no clew could be- discovered that would lead to the identification of their compan- ions in the room where their bodies were subsequently, discovered.
 Hopping told the police last night that he called at Mrs. JeWar's apart ments on Saturday night. but could not get in, so he left note under the door. The note was found as indtz cated by Hopping. Two women who were examined stated that they ac- companied Mrs. JeWar to one of the subway stations late Friday night and so far as is known this was the last time she was seen alive. They said that Mrs Jewar had spent part of the evening with them in a palm garden, but that she entered the sub- way station alone
