personal and partisan ends of Others"
Mr. Belcher replied: This criticism

DUSTY WAR IN JERSEY
School Janitors Want Feathers,

Feather busters may cause strike

Board of Education for hygienic rea-

furniture with cheese cloth instead OF
scattered by feather busters. The jan

formal communication TO the directors
Of education yesterday asking for an

additional labor the cheese cloth
method Of busting required. AS the
ianitors know that salaries cannot be
raised in the middle Of the school year.
when appropriations have been fixed
and no money is available, the in
ference is that the actual grievance is
the method of busting and the demand
for a restoration of the feather buster.

STATE TO RE0RGANIZE ITS
CAVALRY REGIMENTS
Militia Will Then Conform to
the Regulations of the
Regular Army.
by Telegraph 10 The tribune.

Albany, oct 30.-Adjutant General Ham
ilton is planning for the reorganization
of the cavalry troops Of the National
Guard OF the state to make them con-
form TO the regulations OF the United
States army. The War Department sent
out circulars in August to the National
Guard headquarters Of the various states
outlining the regular army regulations.
and New York is putting them into effect
to get it's pro rata share of the 100000
appropriated by Congress.
I'VE are fast conforming the National
Guard of this state to the regular army -
said General Hamilton to-day.
Are the governments efforts based on
fear of war; he was asked.
NO" he replied.
General Hamilton said that the cavalry
is now the only branch OF the New York
militia that differs to any great extent
from the regular army organization. The
War Departments rule provides that a
cavalry regiment shall be formed OF
twelve troops. In this state there are
two cavalry regiments. The LIST Cavalry.
with headquarters i'm Manhattan, has
nine companies, and the I'd Cavalry, with
Headquarters in Brooklyn. seven.
General Hamilton. after a conference
with Major General Organ, drew up a
tentative plan for the reorganization.
The plan. 1t is understood, is to form
a regiment from the seven companies in
the % Cavalry and fve OF the LIST Cav
airy This regiment. 1t is reported. is to
be commanded by Colonel Charles /. De
Bevoise Of the ID Cavalry. This will
leave -FOUR troops. which will be organized
into a squadron. These four troops will
he the same four that composed old
Squadron 4, of Manhattan, and will be
comman ded by Colonel Oliver Il. Bridg-
man of the LIST Cavalry.
