Enlisted When Seventeen.

Mr.. Brockman seeks to prevent the
mastering of his son into the service.
The boy, he declares was only seven
teen years old when he enlisted with
out his parents consent. May Is, 1915.
Referring to the mobilization order.
Mr. Brockman. in his petition. declared
that it violates the constitutional
rights of his son and of himself. He
points out that article l, section s.,
clause Is. of the Constitution of the
United States provides for calling forth
the National Guard only for the pur-
pose of executing the laws of the
Union, of 'suppressng insuNections
and repelling invasion. He asserts that
none of these reasons or causes for ex-
ercising the power so vested in the
President now exists and there is no
reason for depriving his son of his
liberty or the petitioner of his custody
and control of the boy.
Attorney Frederick r. Whippler. who
filed the petition, accompanied Deputy
Marshal Palmer to the l. street armory
and served the paper on Adjt Fullam
The boy may he brought to court late
this afternoon.
Mr.. Brockman in his petition tells
the court that no attempt was made
by officers of the guard to obtain his
consent to the enlistment. The petit
ton advises the court of President
Wilson's mobilization order. and that
in execution OF it the command which
includes his son is under orders to pro-
coed TO Fort Myer, Va, to be mustered
into the service of the United States.

Scenes When Guardsmen Leave in
Many Cities Recall Departure
for Spanish-American War.

NEW YORK, June 21-The first two
regiments of the New York National
Guard to respond to the call for service
on the Mexican border left this city to-
day for the state camp at Beekman,
where it is expected about $4,000 men
will be assembled when the state mobi-
lization is complete. They were the
69th Infantry and the additional six
companies of the ed Engineers, two
companies of which already were at
Camp Whitman" A part of the 1st Sig
nal Corps also started for the camp today
Tomorrow the list Regiment Will
leave for the camp, and during the re-
mainder of the week officers OF the
New York division expect regiments
from other parts of the state will ar
rive there.
The departure of the artillery regi-
ments is being delayed by inability TO
obtain horses on short notice. 1t is
not considered likely that they will be
ready for complete mobilization until
next week.
Regiments Waiting in Armories.
Most of the other New York city regi-
ments are in their armories awaiting
the order to start for the camp, and
meantime are recruiting to bring their
enlistments to full war strength.
HOPES were aroused among the OFF,
GERS and men that they would be sent
direct to the Mexican border instead
of the state camp in response to Gen.
Funston's request for National Guard
troops 20 be hurried there, but no or
ders to that effect had been received
early today.
Relatives of the soldiers crowded the
streets in the vicinity of their ar
mories as the troops marched out To-
day. and the scenes there and at the
railroad station resembled those which
attended the departure of troops for
the Spanish American war.
Percival Hill, president of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, announced TO-
day that it's employees would receive
full pay and their positions would be
held pending their return. Many hrms

A Reward for Villas Capture.

Sir: If the United States government

of 100000 in gold be offered for his capt
ure. Let the amount be equal TO few days
cost of maintaining the United States mill
tary force in Mexico.
If precedent be desired for the wisdom Of
such an offer it may be found in almost any
city of the Union where rewards have been
offered for the apprehension Of criminals.
How were the bad Indian chiefs, like Geron-
imo, captured if not with the assistance of
the Indian scouts Agunaldo and other in
surgents in the Philippines were run down
by our troops with the aid Of the natives.
Make it an object for the MeXicans to help
us in our hunt and we will soon get what we
wish-that is, Villa.
II the reward be authorized let it be cir
culated in Mexico through the newspapers.

Reform in Name Only.

Mayor Mitchell was right in vetoing the
bill purporting to give the city authori-
ties jurisdiction over salaries here, wher
approved by a referendum That meas
ure, as the Legislature left it, was a
sham and a delusion. The Mayors eX-
perts figured that out of total salary
roll of S91, 776, 43O99 for the departments
included in the measure only Sl,375, 545
would be brought within the jurisdiction
of the Board of Estimate over the sala-
ries now within its control.
In percentages, the Board Of Estimate
now has control over 62.11 per cent Of
the salaries paid out of the tax levy. This
bill, if approved, would have necessitated
a referendum on the question of additions,
control over 1.5 per cent more. The saw
ing that could be effected would be very
slight. The Legislature, at the behest Of
county politicians and county job holders,
emasculated the bill. The Mayor was too
wise TO accept the emasculated version,
thus shutting off all chance Of getting a
real reform measure next year.

summer as it is. 1t was suggested that II
there were really any vital necessity for
compelling cafes. eating houses, theatres
picture shows, etc, TO close at. an early
hour the simplest way would be to ehect
the change by police ordinance and let
the clocks alone.
The notion Of intoxicating better habits
in night owls was not taken seriously by
the French men of science. They were IN
clned to think that the benevolent legis-
ators overrsted their powers and that IN
spite of them the noctambulists would soon
fall back into their old habits in spite of
all tricks played with the clock. The
scheme, as one member put 1t. was much as
if one we're to go about suppressing alco-
holism by establishing legal reduction IN
the capacity of the litre in order to reduce
the quantity of alcohol imbibed by each
consumer. International agreements and
international differences have, however,
overcome many of the more obvious obJcc-
tons to the reform.
