a girl he loved 1t was clearly proved
that Austin was in ignorance of the
regulation forbidding marriage of
midshipmen and, apparently, his i'm
mediate superiors were also, for they
were present at the wedding and said
never a word.
Thank heaven that fool regulation
is "a thing of the past! The difficulty
of keeping the navy up to its full
compIement-off officers or enlisted men
has caused Uncle Sam lately to
awaken to the fact that the average
American you doesn't banker for a
job that deprives him of most of his
birth rights. He doesn't object to
service but he does to servility. An
occupation that arbitrarily prevents
a man from marrying isn't,one to ap-
peal to the kind of men we need in
our navy. Secretary Daniels struck
the popular chord when he said:
when regulations interfere with
the course of true love, there's only
one thing to do--love."

BILL READJUSTS AFFAIRS
OF THE NATIONAL Guard
Measure introduced in the House To-
day Embodies New Military Code
Providing Divisional Organization
Urged BY War Department

A new military code, based on. the
requirements of the United States War
Department in relation to a divisional
organization of the National Guard, is
proposed in q bill introduced into the
House this morning by Representative
Adams, of Luzerne.
Under the terms of the measure the
maximum number of companies of in
fantry has been reduced from $50 to
$50. The artillery maximum has been
increased from five batteries to twelve,
which will provide for two regiments
of field artillery of six batteries each.
The bill also provides for one regiment
of cavalry, which is now organized. The
necessary complement of engineer and
signal corps organizations is provided
for, as well as tieldN hospitals and ambu-
lance companies necessary to form q
properly balanced division.
The only State having such a divi.
sion is New York, and it is held that
the only other one that can possibly
furnish a division is Pennsylvania, but
whether or not division can be organ.
lied in this State will depend ON the
increase to be made in the appropria.
, tion.
Another feature of the bill is the
change in the method of selecting COM
missioned officers. Heretofore field of
fcers of regiments have been elected
by the line officers. The bill provides
for their appointment by the Governor.
1t provides for the appointment by the
Governor of captains and first lieuten-
ants of companies, the men of the com
pany to elect second lieutenants. 1t is
believed this method will secure a
higher degree of efficiency, as officers
before being appointed will be required
to undergo examinations to prove their
fitness for commission.
Staff officers of regiments will be ap-
pointed by resimental commanders, as
heretofore. The quartermasters and sub.
sisteAce departments will be consol.
dated and known as quartermaster
| corps. In all other respects the new
law will be practically the same as the
present law. The Adams bill, it is held,
would place the National Guard in an
/ advanced position, and practically con.
! form to the requirements of the war de-
partment as 10 organization, training
and discipline.
The bill, should it become a law, will
become effective on June /, next.

JUNGLE HENRY"MuCH PLEAsEG
Points to Fact Senators of All Parties
Voted Against Abolishing His Post


The summary death of the project to
abolish the office of Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, at present held by Henry
Houek, of Lebanon, was source of
great qualification to "Unce Henry, y
who was in the Senate yesterday at the
time Senator Snyder, of Schuylkill,
welded the snickersnee that separated
the cervical yertabrae Of the bill, and
consigned it to an early grave.
One thing that seems to have been
forgotten in the plan to abolish tine De-
partment of Internal Affairs was that
it would also have abolished the Board
Of Pardons, that last refuge and hope
of every man convicted in the State.
The Constitution says that the Board of
Pardons shall consist of the Lieutenant
Governor, the -Attorney General, the
Secretary of the Commonwealth and
the Secretary of Internal Affairs. In
the abolition of any one of these Of
fees, it was held by eminent attorneys
in the State, the Board of Pardons
would be disintegrated and it could not
do business: but that has been averted
by the killing of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment to abolish
'Unele Henry Houck s job. Speak
ing of the defeat of tine measure Secre-
tary Houek said to-day:
'' won the fight to defeat that res
olution by a greet majority. Every Sem
,ator was for me and against the meas
ure. Republicans. Democrats and even
the Progressive Senator, were for me.
1t was a wonderful victory, and I am
deeply grateful to my friends for their
interest in the defeat of the resolu-
tion.''
During this morning large number
of friends called on Secretary Houck
and congratulated him on the defeat of
the project that would have abolished
his Office.

Hoover, of the c. F. Hoover Furniture
X Carpet Company, to-day filed a re-
|mOnstrance with the court claiming
that Fry is not fit person to run a
hotel and that his liquor license should
not be granted.
This was the first remonstrance ac-
tually filed in connection with the many
applications for liquor license renewals.
Hoover claims that he brought suit
against Fry more than a year ago for
the amount of the furniture bill.
s200.43, and since that time the defen-
dant has paid but $3.50.
Another allegation in the remon-
STRANGE is that Fry cannot now sell his
place of business, for hotel purposes, in
view of the fact that the building and
ground is in the Capitol Park zone, and
soon will be taken over by the State.
Ii the hotel furniture were to be soNd
| by the sheriff, Hoover asserts, it would
nOt bring much more than the sheriff s
costs
