dent and proceed under It's provisions.
Secretary Baker explained his action
by pointing out the differences In the
enlistment oaths guardsmen are re-
ouired to take under the Dick law and
the new Hay-Chamberlain bill. Ihe
Dick law requires an obligation TO oe-
fend the constitution and obey orders
of the governor Of the state, but not
the orders Of the president.
The Hay-Chamberlain act requires
an oath to obey orders Of both the gov
ernor and the president.
Offense Under Dick Law.
Upon recommendation of Judge Ad-
vocate Crowder, the secretary has de-
cided that the alleged offense OF the
ruardsmen was comnitted under the
Dick law and trixR would be under
that law. ,.1< -.
General Crowder, In supplementary
opinion. held that the ay-Chamoer-
lain act would not abolish che offense
with which the Texans are charged,
as has been suggested. On this show
ing It will not be necessary to issue a
new call for the border militia after
the Hay4Chamberiain bill Is signed.

Funston had never requested that the
Louisiana, mississippi and Oklahoma
